Forest's periodical. It is explicitly anticopyrighted and so may be freely
|

|
|
|
|
<p>Greetings --</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> Thankyou for supporting this sort of thing. The publication you requested,
|
|
"Further Connections", is currently undergoing major updating. The version of
|
|
FC reviewed in "High Weirdness by Mail" is five years old and many listings
|
|
are no longer accurate. Instead you are receiving a copy of NOW WHAT, which
|
|
covers the most significant items from FC, in much greater detail. There is
|
|
also more urgent news which has come in since FC last appeared. Since NOW
|
|
WHAT's impact and response have been many times greater than FC's, NW is
|
|
occupying most of the available time here. As a result FC is still buried
|
|
under a flood of additions and corrections and is not likely to be in a
|
|
presentable form for several more months.
|
|
While NW provides many information sources on the subjects it covers, there
|
|
aren't nearly the 400 listings mentioned in HWBM. However NW does contain a
|
|
lot more practical, immediately useful information. Anyhow, if you have HWBM,
|
|
you already have many of the more useful listings from FC. Get a hold of the
|
|
catalog from our allied info service Rex Research at PO Box 19250, Jean, NV
|
|
89019 ($2) and you'll have most of the best of the rest.
|
|
One minor error in HWBM was that FC never cost $4: it has varied from $5 to
|
|
$7 depending on size.
|
|
NW costs $4 per issue, or $15 for four issues. (*overseas add $2 postage per
|
|
issue) You have a few options at this point:
|
|
1) Send another $11 (or $10, if you sent $5 already) to cover the difference
|
|
on a 4-issue subscription.
|
|
2) Send back NW in good condition, after making as many copies as you wish,
|
|
along with a dollar or equivalent postage, and we'll send you a different
|
|
issue of it. A variation on this is to send it back with another $3 (or $2, if
|
|
etc) to cover the difference on a copy of the revised FC whenever available
|
|
(don't hold your breath).
|
|
3) Keep what you got and call it even. The Government is spending millions
|
|
supposedly trying to find the very solutions you just got for a mere $4 or $5.
|
|
All feedback is welcome, however the heavy correspondence load and limited
|
|
resources here may delay or prevent individual replies. NOW WHAT carries no
|
|
ads, and is supported mostly by manual labor.
|
|
Applying this information and sharing it with others can make a remarkable
|
|
difference in the quality of life in your community, country and/or planet.</p>

<p>Notes on format: This unconventional material requires a non-ordinary
|
|
arrangement, if it is to be spread swiftly enough to do its job. Readers are
|
|
encourgaed to make and distribute copies to anyone who might use the
|
|
information. Instead of binding this collection of articles as a standard
|
|
magazine, it is stapled at one corner only, so that the sheets can be easily
|
|
separated and run through rapid copiers. The main reports are designed to be
|
|
reproduced and distributed with or without the others accompanying them.
|
|
Articles are printed all in one piece; nothing is "continued on page
|
|
so-and-so". Whenever possible they are arranged so that each article or
|
|
combination occupies an even number of pages, so as not to waste paper or
|
|
postage when being re-copied and mailed to others. Where pages are numbered
|
|
at all, the numbers are for the pages in the article, rather than the sequence
|
|
in the magazine.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>NOW WHAT is basically an unauthorized informal public service and does not
|
|
qualify as either a business or a proper non-profit organization; as far as
|
|
banks are concerned it does not exist as a financial entity at all. However
|
|
its author does, sort of, so checks should be made out to him rather than it.</p>

|
|
NOW WHAT</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> We still appear to be hanging on the brink of either a New Age or Armageddon
|
|
or some weird combination of both. Yet real solutions exist and are not widely
|
|
known or used, for all of mankind's supposedly unsolved problems.
|
|
An entire body of unused technology is waiting to be implemented, that works
|
|
by cooperating with seldom-recognized basic forces instead of struggling
|
|
against them. A world economy based on abundance, health and cooperation,
|
|
rather than scarcity, disease and conflict, can emerge as soon as enough
|
|
people want it intensely enough to make it happen.
|
|
Many times in recent history, various inventors and visionaries have offered
|
|
our civilization cleaner, safer and cheaper methods of obtaining the resources
|
|
and capabilities we require. These offers have all been turned down on our
|
|
behalf, without most of us ever hearing about it, by certain owners of
|
|
established industries and monopolies that will become largely obsolete when
|
|
these breakthroughs are widely known and used. They understandably wished to
|
|
postpone their obsolescence as long as possible, but no further delay of the
|
|
impending economic overhaul can be allowed.
|
|
Once we can independently obtain whatever we need in the way of energy,
|
|
water shelter, food, safety or mobility, there is no longer any need for the
|
|
massiv ebureaucracies that presently sell it to us and regulate every aspect
|
|
of what we do with it. When options free up on this scale, people are
|
|
released from tension and restraints, and become mroe active, healthy,
|
|
imaginative and powerful, and very hard to control.
|
|
The prevention of such fundamental improvements in publicly available
|
|
technology has not really been that hard to manage. The regulatory agencies
|
|
and institutions in charge of agiven resource or function, like energy,
|
|
transportation or medicine, are invariably headed by assistants to the owners
|
|
of the industries holding the primary monopolies on it. They have the
|
|
incentive and influence to get their people put in charge. That's how they
|
|
usually get off so light after being forced to investigate themselves for
|
|
various illegal activities.
|
|
But it would be naive to assume that suppressed technologies are merely
|
|
suppressed, and not secretly in use by those who withhold them.
|
|
It's helpful to regard the world as a sort of giant intelligence test, like
|
|
a huge elaborate "what's wrong with this picture?" puzzle. Some of what's
|
|
wrong is kind of obvious, but much of the rest is conceale remarkably well.
|
|
Finding out what seems to be wrong is already a popular pastime, and whining
|
|
about it is even more popular. However it's a lot mroe challenging and
|
|
rewarding to go on from there and actually correct it, as opposed to just
|
|
getting used to it and tolerating it under protest.
|
|
If the real reason for any problem is accurately diagnosed, it can be
|
|
solved. This applies even to "terminal" illnesses, whether biological, mental,
|
|
political, economic or ecological, though it is possible with incorrect
|
|
treatments to damage the victim beyond recovery. Simply labeling and describin
|
|
the condition doesn't reveal its cause, or result in any effective solution.
|
|
When problems persist and worsen despite massive corrective efforts, their
|
|
true cause has not been identified, and the wrong thing is getting "corrected"
|
|
War, poverty, disease, crime, insanity, pollution, and shortages of water,
|
|
energy, shelter and food, all are persisting and worsening, even though
|
|
supposedly no one wants them. This means the true underlying causes of these
|
|
problems are not being widely recognized, let alone corrected. So, look to see
|
|
who really profits when the problems continue.
|
|
The artificial and deliberate origin of the crises, shortages and disasters
|
|
plaguing mankind are camouflaged by blaming it all on human overpopulation and
|
|
stupidity, which are merely contributing factors.
|
|
Most of these conditions actually result from specific means used to
|
|
accomplish an earlier incorrect "solution" that has been pursued for
|
|
generations by some of the most powerful, wealthy and ruthless men on Earth.
|
|
The "problem" was assumed to be that there were simply too many people, with
|
|
too much individual freedom and variety, to be effectively kept under control,
|
|
while ownership of Earth's land and resources was consolidated. Guess what
|
|
solution they came up with?
|
|
Not all who've agreed to this hard decision are necessarily evil. It was
|
|
just the only thing they could come up with to ensure their own survival,
|
|
without giving up much of their authority and control of the world's
|
|
resources, and risking reprisals by mobs of unforgiving peasants, for their
|
|
former exploitation.
|
|
Blaming war entirely on conflicts between nations, religions, and political
|
|
systems conceals its true roots. The creation of wars is a basic method used
|
|
by the most powerful to acquire still more territory, and displace or subdue
|
|
whoever was there already. Visible wars are mostly a surface feature of the
|
|
ongoing undeclared economic war waged by certain of the most wealthy against
|
|
everyone else, even sometimes each other. And like it or not, both the spread
|
|
of "western civilization" and the "high American living standard" have
|
|
depended on global land-grabbing, destruction of native populations and
|
|
cultures, and conversion of survivors into cheap labor forces.
|
|
It's now widely observed that none of our political leaders have any real
|
|
agenda or plan for actually solving any of the crises threatening Americans,
|
|
other humans and life in general. However, there really is a very detailed
|
|
agenda, consisting of those very crises and their calculated effects. It's
|
|
proceeding more or less as planned. Most political figures are going along
|
|
with it whether they like it or not, and most of you would not enjoy the next
|
|
phase of it, even slightly.
|
|
So it's totally up to individual citizens to take responsibility for what
|
|
happens from here. The pieces of a painless and elegant plan for global
|
|
survival are still just lying around waiting, in the form of nearly forgotten
|
|
inventions, discoveries and options that ran aground on the economic dynamics
|
|
of their time, and fear of industrial upheavals.
|
|
It turns out it is not really necessary to undergo the massive population
|
|
reductions and overt enslavement of survivors planned for us by modern feudal
|
|
lords. There are much more pleasant and efficient solutions for our resource
|
|
shortages and other economic and ecological difficulties.
|
|
Through mass media control, the world's invisible rulers have been very
|
|
effective at preventing most of their subjects from hearing about free energy
|
|
systems, unused water sources, plant growth acceleration methods, gravity
|
|
control, crashproof vehicles, weather control, proven cures for supposedly
|
|
incurable diseases, or anything else that might free people from dependency on
|
|
the established monopolies. When news of such a discovery does leak out, to
|
|
the point where the major news services can't ignore it, they mix it with
|
|
disinformation of varying absurdity and portray it as part of the lunatic
|
|
fringe, which persuades most people not to examine it closely or consider its
|
|
potential if valid.
|
|
NOW WHAT offers another chance to peel away the layers of deception, and
|
|
find out what is really going on around here, how we can make the best of it,
|
|
and what we can do to soften the impact of whatever horrors we have yet to
|
|
face.
|
|
A great amount of territory must be covered here, in a compressed and casual
|
|
form that can be swiftly grasped and acted upon; for more detailed writeups of
|
|
individual subjects, readers are encouraged to refer to the sources listed.
|
|
Some of this material will have a rough unfinished appearance, being assembled
|
|
and run off with some haste, since people are dying for lack of these options,
|
|
each day they are not widely known and used.
|
|
NOW WHAT draws from many sources, from mainstream to sidecreek, without
|
|
regard for establishment approval ratings. Exotic and underground science and
|
|
news sources offer vital information omitted from official media. Yet equally
|
|
useful material can turn up in the most standard publications, patents and
|
|
references, which goes unnoticed and unused, swallowed up in the flood of
|
|
false or insignificant information surrounding it.
|
|
At the level of art, consider the entire Earth as a vast aesthetic
|
|
composition, that has deteriorated somewhat, due to age and general lack of
|
|
appreciation of what she is and how she works. Restoring her original beauty
|
|
and serenity is the ultimate in Earth Art, and can happily engage as many as
|
|
want to take it on.
|
|
To subtract the artificial ugliness that interferes with the natural beauty
|
|
and joy of life on Earth,straighten out the cirumstances that have been
|
|
allowing it to occur. It's really not that much more difficult than adding
|
|
more local things of beauty, if gone about gently, and the effects can reach
|
|
farther. The media available to be shaped and combined in new ways include
|
|
every kind of communication, information, activity and resource, and all the
|
|
networking already underway among them.
|
|
Along with however else you apply it, send copies of this information to
|
|
your favourite teachers, reporters, broadcasters, musicians, comedians,
|
|
directors, actors, politicians, anyone whose words reach many listeners. That
|
|
way it can no longer be suppressed just by removing its early disseminators.
|
|
And the more other people know about it, the safer you are as well.
|
|
Don't hesitate to send it to people of considerable wealth and power, or
|
|
their children, for that matter. Problems can indeed be solved by throwing
|
|
money at them, if it's thrown right, and it can cost much less than it has to
|
|
create the problems.
|
|
One way those who maintain the problems manage to spread the blame around,
|
|
is to pretend as though they represent the interests of all wealthy people.
|
|
This stimulates categorical hate and fear between rich and poor, and tends to
|
|
discourage representatives of each side from getting together and working
|
|
something out.
|
|
The poor and middle classes often fail to differentiate between the two
|
|
basic types of wealthy people. Most of the wealthy built their fortunes by
|
|
finding a genuine need and filling it, and have attempted to improve
|
|
conditions for mankind in general. But the others could care less about all
|
|
that, and choose to create and fill artificial, non-survival needs, such as
|
|
for weapons, narcotics, poisons, assassination teams, torture equipment, and
|
|
massive bank loans for governments to finance wars. They have no more
|
|
reservations about exploiting the rest of humanity than they do about using
|
|
any other natural resource on "their property".
|
|
Unfortunately this second group has had the competitive advantage. Being
|
|
unencumbered by ethics or compassion, they can engage in strategies for
|
|
domination that the more benign wealthy would not consider, and have tended
|
|
to take over the top positions in the world economy. Lucky for us, their own
|
|
ruthlessness and treachery keeps many of them from trusting each other enough
|
|
to collaborate as effectively as they might, in doing in everyone else.
|
|
There are still plenty of wealthy people who are either unaware of the
|
|
planned exterminations, or suspect it's possible but can't quite believe it.
|
|
Others do know and are collaborating only because it appears to be the only
|
|
plan for the future that anyone with big money is seriously behind. They
|
|
haven't thought of any better idea and are afraid to cross the really big
|
|
guys, and wind up among the victims. The momentum for "covert" global
|
|
exterminations comes more by default than from the plan's inherent appeal,
|
|
except to a few really diseased minds stuck in pain-inflict mode.
|
|
It is not impossible to identify the most powerful and least visible of
|
|
Earth's unpublicized owners, and sort out which are pro-genocide, but then
|
|
what? What options are there, if any, for rendering these self-appointed
|
|
population pruners harmless?
|
|
Any direct assault on the powers behind the scenes, whether judicial,
|
|
legislative, military, or through media, gets smothered or sidetracked because
|
|
those same powers already control any official agencies that would be
|
|
assigned to investigate, report, prosecute and so on.
|
|
The heads of all those government branches are linked to the principal war
|
|
merchants through their membership in such groups as the Council on Foreign
|
|
Relations. The CFR is a quasi-governmental private organization formed in
|
|
1921 to formulate foreign policies that would forward "American business
|
|
interests" around the world, then persuade the government to adopt those
|
|
policies. Members include the heads of the NSC, CIA, Departments of State,
|
|
Defense, Treasury, Joint Chiefs, and Federal Reserve, as well as the heads of
|
|
all the largest banking, media, energy and industrial conglomerates. Although
|
|
containing the core of the executive branch, they aren't answerable to any
|
|
government agency, and their actions are designed to further their own
|
|
interests, not America's.
|
|
The point is, their control is complete enough to defuse any standard legal
|
|
corrective actions, or any other traditional methods of dethroning a corrupt
|
|
power. A violent uprising would be disastrous and provide just the right
|
|
excuse for massive retaliations, roundup of dissidents and suspension of
|
|
civil rights. Forget the usual revolutionary strategies, they've got all that
|
|
stuff covered.
|
|
In fact, no corrective approach will work that is based on anger,
|
|
punishment, revenge, or destruction. So what's left?
|
|
Let's try talking our way out of it. Instead of trying to seize control from
|
|
those now holding it, let's come up with an arrangement where they use their
|
|
power to straighten this whole mess out, and sell them on it.
|
|
It could be that under the great pressures of inter-corporate struggles and
|
|
secrecy, none of them ever stopped to realize they had another choice than the
|
|
one they're committed to. Going into crash-production on the whole system of
|
|
perviously suppressed or ignored technology could eliminate the harmful
|
|
effects of "too many people" without having to eliminate any more people, and
|
|
still improve life for them personally. Plus they would get to be heroes
|
|
instead of creeps.
|
|
They can even take credit for the idea. If we think up a better deal for
|
|
them than what they're currently going for, in terms of safety, freedom and
|
|
happiness, it could persuade them that maybe the rest of us aren't too stupid
|
|
to live after all. If we can't, then maybe we are.
|
|
Perhaps we can directly renegotiate our collective future, once the true
|
|
situation has been publicized broadly enough to be no longer officially
|
|
deniable. Strike an agreement of mutual non-retaliation between both sides
|
|
while long-range transition logistics are worked out.
|
|
We forgive them and their employees for past atrocities, and for being so
|
|
greedy, cold-blooded and ruthless. They forgive us for exposing and ruining
|
|
their plans, and for being so infernally lame, gullible and numerous that
|
|
exploiting and repressing us has been irresistable.
|
|
With enough citizens cooperating in the amnesty, we can guarantee the
|
|
super-rich and their palaces remain safe from lycnh mobs and looters. In
|
|
exchange they arrange for: 1) a global ceasefire and release of all political
|
|
prisoners (they have the power to do that), 2) full disclosure of all "state
|
|
secrets" (in other words, full confessions), and 3) the diversion of the
|
|
wealth currently spent on plan A (advanced covert genocide technologies,
|
|
operations and coverups) over to plan B (crash program to implement previously
|
|
suppressed technologies and improve conditions for all). It might be worth it
|
|
to them, not having to constantly be on guard against their victimized public,
|
|
and each other. People do enjoy life more when they don't have to lie and
|
|
worry about getting caught all the time.
|
|
In other words, let's acknowledge that they've won the game they've been
|
|
playing, where the goal was to concentrate control of the world into as few
|
|
hands as possible, by any means available. The surviving multibillionaires
|
|
could go on battling and absorbing each others' empires, but why beat it into
|
|
the ground? They've thoroughly proved they can plunder the planet and get away
|
|
with it, so enough already. Let the winners and losers shake hands and start a
|
|
new game with more interesting goals, that we can all pursue together.</p>

|
<p>AIDS, CANCER CURED BY HYPER-OXYGENATION</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> (Waves Forest) Several dozen AIDS patients have not only reversed their
|
|
death sentences, but are now back at work, completely free of the disease.
|
|
They destroyed the virus in their blood by hyper-oxygenation, known in various
|
|
forms as oxygen therapy, bio-oxidative therapy or auto-hemotherapy. This is a
|
|
simple, inexpensive and very broad-spectrum healing process that many feel
|
|
could force a complete overhaul of the medical industry. The two basic types
|
|
of oxygen therapy are ozone blood infusion, and absorption of oxygen water
|
|
(hydrogen peroxide) at very low concentrations.
|
|
It turns out that the AIDS virus cannot tolerate high oxygen levels in its
|
|
victims' blood. Not only that, every other disease organism tested so far
|
|
apparently has the same weakness. Even cancer growths contract and disappear
|
|
when the oxygen saturation is sufficiently increased in the fluids
|
|
surrounding them, since they are anaerobic.
|
|
AIDS, herpes, hepatitis, Epstein Barr, cytomegalovirus and other lipid-envelope viruses are readily destroyed by hyper-oxygenating the patient's
|
|
blood with ozone. This was demonstrated by among others Dr Horst Kief in Bad
|
|
Hersfeld, West Germany. Dr Kief has already cured a number of AIDS victims by
|
|
drawing blood, infusing it with ozone and returning it to the patient, at
|
|
regular intervals until all the virus is gone. (He can be reached through
|
|
Biozon Ozon-Technik GmbH, An Der Haune #10, Bad Hersfeld, D-6430, Federal
|
|
Republic of Germany.) Dr. S. Rilling of Stuttgart and Dr. Renate Viebahn of
|
|
Iffezheim are among the growing number of physicians who have obtained
|
|
similar results with their patients. They are with Arztlich Gesellschaft fur
|
|
Ozontherapie and JrJ Hansler GmbH, respectively.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> THE BASIS OF BIO-OXIDATIVE THERAPIES
|
|
For many years the health sciences have been seeking to identify the primary
|
|
physical cause of all diseases, and the cure-all that this basic principle
|
|
would yield. Now noth have been found, but their utter simplicity makes them
|
|
difficult to accept at first, since it seems like if it's that easy, we should
|
|
have been using them all along.
|
|
Our bodies are composed mostly of water, which is eight ninths oxygen. Most
|
|
nutritional studies tend to get caught up in the small details of biochemistry
|
|
and overlook our most abundant and essential element, and the fundamental role
|
|
of its depletion in causing illness. Of all the elements the body needs, only
|
|
oxugen is in such constant demand that its absence brings death in minutes.
|
|
The main difference, for healing purposes, between benign micro-organisms
|
|
(including our own cells), and those which cause disease, is that the latter
|
|
require much lower oxygen levels. This is due to their more primitive
|
|
evolutionary origins, during the ages when free oxygen was far less abundant.
|
|
Now their descendants can only survive in low-oxygen environments such as
|
|
accompany stagnation and decay. To become a growth medium for such parasites,
|
|
one has to have allowed the oxygen saturation of the body's fluids to drop
|
|
well below the loptimum level for healthy cell growth and function.
|
|
The simplest substances available for restoring one's oxygen balance to a
|
|
healthy range are ozone (O3), and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), which is much
|
|
easier to obtain and use. These are both highly toxic when concentrated, which
|
|
has tended to obscure their germicidal value except as a skin antiseptic. But
|
|
when diluted to therapeutic levels (for H2O2, 1/2 of 1% or less), they are not
|
|
only non-toxic but uniquely beneficial.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> OZONE BLOOD TREATMENT
|
|
Ozone overcomes the AIDS virus by a fundamentally different process than
|
|
usually attempted with drugs. Instead of burdening the liver and immune system
|
|
with more elaborate toxic substances, ozone simply oxidizes the molecules in
|
|
the shell of the virus.
|
|
The treatment is remarkably simple. The ozone is produced by forcing oxygen
|
|
through a metal tube carrying a 300-volt charge. A pint of blood is drawn from
|
|
the patient and placed in an infusion bottle. The ozone is then forced into
|
|
the bottle and mixed in by shaking gently, whereupon the blood turns bright
|
|
cardinal red. As the ozone molecules dissolve into the blood they give up
|
|
their third oxygen atom, releasing considerable energy which destroys all
|
|
lipid-envelope virus, and apparently most other disease organisms as well,
|
|
while leaving blood cells unharmed.
|
|
It also oxygenates the blood to a greater degree than is usually reached,
|
|
what with poor air and sluggish breathing habits. The treated blood is then
|
|
given back to the patient. This treatment is given from twice a week to twice
|
|
a day, depending on how advanced the disease is. The strengthened blood
|
|
confers some of its virucidal properties to the rest of the patient's blood as
|
|
it disperses.
|
|
The disease will not return, as long as the patient maintains his blood in
|
|
an oxygen-positive state, throug proper breathing, exercise, and clean diet.
|
|
A Dr Preuss, in Stuttgart, has written up ten case histories of AIDS
|
|
patients he has cured by this method. But his and the other physicians'
|
|
reports of cures are all anecdotal rather than in the form of "controlled
|
|
studies", since they could not be expected to treat some patients and deny
|
|
treatment to others just for the purpose of accumulating evidence. Thus their
|
|
results are not considered "proof" by the US medical community. So the
|
|
Medizone Company in New York has taken on the task of doing the controlled
|
|
studies required for the treatment to be approved in the US for general use.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> MEDIZONE TESTING OZONE BLOOD TREATMENT
|
|
In the summer of 1986 Medizone obtained from the FDA an IND (Investigative
|
|
New Drug) Approval for ozone, which falls under the heading of drugs even
|
|
though it isn't. They verified that ozone destroys the AIDS virus in vitro,
|
|
and completed their animal tests in the fall of 1986. The tests demonstrated
|
|
no indication of toxicity, at ten times the equivalent amount that is
|
|
proposd for human treatment.
|
|
The Medizone Co is at 123 E 54th St, Ste 2B, NY, NY 10022; phone is
|
|
212-421-0303.
|
|
Medizone says it has obtained the rights to US Patent # 4632980, on
|
|
"ozonation of blood and blood products", from the company "Immunologics", in
|
|
exchange for Medizone stock shares. The patent pertains specifically to
|
|
inactivating lipid-envelope virus. In humans, this includes AIDS, herpes,
|
|
hepatitis, Epstein Barr virus, and cytomegalovirus, among others. Medizone
|
|
obtained tentative FDA approval in April 1987 to begin human testing, but for
|
|
a variety of "bureaucratic reasons" the FDA has postponed the actual start of
|
|
the tests eight times now, with requests for further data, some of which had
|
|
already been given to them.
|
|
Twenty months have now passed [as of December 1988], along with several
|
|
thousand AIDS victims, since the first announced starting date was postponed.
|
|
The Medizone staff is hoping to finally begin in the spring of 1989, but are
|
|
no longer announcing expected starting dates with much confidence. "There are
|
|
no technical problems, but this is the FDA we're dealing with, after all." As
|
|
the Company's future hangs on their decision, no one at Medizone wants to risk
|
|
anatgonizing the FDA, by speculating about their actual motives for stalling
|
|
such a broad-spectrum cure.
|
|
All this has been with virtually no publicity. The official reason for this
|
|
is that the accepted procedure for publishing medical breakthroughs is to
|
|
complete all the tests first, even though victims may die waiting for the
|
|
cautious, methodical testing procedure to run its course. No one in the
|
|
industry wants to raise false hopes, let alone repeat the medical disasters
|
|
that ahve resulted in the past, from rushing approval on new treatments.
|
|
On the other hand, the enormously expensive and dubiously effective drug AZT
|
|
was widely publicized many months before it was approved in the US, as is
|
|
ongoing research into possible AIDS vaccines. In fact, FDA Commissioner Frank
|
|
Young has even announced a proposal to make experimental drugs available to
|
|
AIDS victims as swiftly as possible, without waiting for the full FDA approval
|
|
procedure to be completed. So there appears to be a severe double standard
|
|
involved here. It seems that highly profitable "treatments" with serious side
|
|
effects can be demonstrated in Europe, with minimal cost and no apparent
|
|
harmful effects, must be delayed and kept quiet while panic and deaths mount.
|
|
Surely at this stage the benefits of unauthorized publicity will outweigh the
|
|
risks.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> SAFE PURIFICATION OF BLOOD FOR TRANSFUSIONS
|
|
Ozone infusion also provides a simple method of purifying stored blood and
|
|
blood components, eliminating any possibility of disease being transmitted by
|
|
transfusion. It also pre-oxygenates blood to be transfused, greatly reducing
|
|
the burden on the body receiving the blood.
|
|
This application alone, of the Medizone process has enormous profit
|
|
potential, and the treatment will have vast international demand as the news
|
|
spreads. This has not gone unnoticed by various investment analysts.
|
|
"Confidential: Report from Zurich", "Penny Stock Insider" and "Low-Priced
|
|
Stock Edition", among others, are urging their readers to get in on Medizone
|
|
now, comparing the opportunity to getting in on Xerox, IBM or Polaroid while
|
|
they were still unknown.
|
|
Various physicians have independently discovered ozone to be also effective
|
|
against cancer, leukemia, arthritis, coronary heart disease, arterial
|
|
circulation disorders, colitis, gum diseases, and assorted childrens'
|
|
diseases. Some of these findings have now been collected and published in the
|
|
volume, "Medical Applications of Ozone", available from the International
|
|
Ozone Association, 83 Oakwood Terrace, Norwalk, CT 06850.
|
|
Some of the medical uses of ozone have been appreciated for years in Europe,
|
|
Brazil and elsewhere, as well as its advantages over chlorine for water
|
|
treatment (no toxic residues, 5000 times more rapid disinfection) but it's
|
|
still relatively unknown in the US.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> OXYGEN WATER
|
|
A much simpler type of Oxygen Therapy uses hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), which
|
|
is what ozone (O3) forms on contact with water. It can be taken orally if
|
|
diluted with water to 1/200 or less, absorbed through the skin by bathing in
|
|
it (anywhere from 1-8 pints of 3% H2O2 in a standard size bathtub half full),
|
|
or in severe cases it can be injcted (250 cc of .075% to .15%, or roughly
|
|
1/1300 to 1/650). Injections obviously require a physician's assistance, but
|
|
self-treatment is possible with oral and skin applications.
|
|
The principle is the same as with ozone blood treatment. All hostile micro-organisms prefer lower oxygen levels than the body's cells require to remain
|
|
healthy. Boosting the oxygen level revitalizes normal cells while killing
|
|
virus and other pathogens.
|
|
The domestic sales of hydrogen peroxide are rising at 15% per year, as the
|
|
news of this option spreads at the grassroots level. The rapid expansion of
|
|
the peroxide movement is especially remarkable considering there has been
|
|
almost no media coverage, and in fact the FDA, American Cancer Society and
|
|
other enforcers of established medicine have tried hard to discourage the
|
|
practice.
|
|
Hydrogen peroxide is the only germicidal agent composed only of water and
|
|
oxygen. Like ozone, it kills disease organisms by oxidation as it spreads
|
|
through the patient's tissues.
|
|
This also destroys cancerous growths which are anaerobic. Nobel Prize-winner
|
|
Dr Otto Warburg demonstrated over fifty years ago the basic difference between
|
|
normal cells and cancer cells. Both derive energy from glucose, but the normal
|
|
cell requires oxygen to combine with the glucose, while cancer cells break
|
|
down glucose without oxygen, yielding only 1/15 the energy per glucose
|
|
molecule that a normal cell produces. This is why cancer cells have such a
|
|
huge appetite for sugar, and also why people who consume excessive quantities
|
|
of sugar tend to get cancer more often.
|
|
The anaerobic breakdown of glucose by cancer cells forms large amounts of
|
|
lactic acid as a waste product, the same substance formed by fermentation of
|
|
lactose, as in spoiled milk. The liver converts some of this back into
|
|
lactose, in an attempt to salvage a food source from a toxic waste. In doing
|
|
this the liver uses only 1/5 the energy per glucose molecule that a normal
|
|
cell can then derive from it, but that's three times the energy a cancer cell
|
|
will get from it. The more the weak, deranged cancer cells multiply, the more
|
|
energy is lost to the normal cells. Thus we find that low levels of both
|
|
oxygen and energy tend to occur where cancer is present, and vice versa. This
|
|
wasteful metabolism becomes self-sustaining and dominant unless the oxygen
|
|
and/or energy levels are sharply increased, or the cancer's food source
|
|
eliminated.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> HEART TRANSPLANT PIONEER RECOMMENDS OXYGEN WATER
|
|
Dr Christiaan Barnard, who performed the first heart transplant, said in
|
|
March 1986 that he was taking peroxide and water himself, several times daily
|
|
to reduce arthritis and aging, and he recommended it highly at that time.
|
|
Since then he has come under heavy attack by the medical establishment for
|
|
this position, and now states that he "is not involved" with the peroxide
|
|
movement. But he does not retract his original endorsement, nor deny that he
|
|
still uses it personally.
|
|
Over a hundred physicians are already curing a broad assortment of
|
|
"incurables" with this natural anti-microbial agent. This includes some forty
|
|
or more in the US. A principal liaison to these free-thinking physicians is
|
|
Dr Charles H. Farr, who wrote "The Therapeutic Use of Intravenous Hydrogen
|
|
Peroxide". He directs the International Bio-Oxidative Medicine Foundation,
|
|
and publishes the "IBOM Newsletter" which contains procedural updates and
|
|
technical refinements for physicians using intravenous H2O2 therapy on their
|
|
patients. By classifying the treatments as experimental they can get around
|
|
the FDA's archaic restrictions for now, until massive public demand and/or
|
|
media exposure force official approval.
|
|
Dr Farr summarizes the beneficial effects of H2O2 in "IBOM" issue #2: these
|
|
include killing bacteria, protozoa, yeast, and virus, oxidizing lipids from
|
|
arterial walls, increasing oxygen tension intracellularly, stimulating
|
|
oxidative enzymes, returning elasticity to arterial walls, dilating coronary
|
|
vessels, and regulating membrane transport. IBOM is at PO Box 61767, Dallas/
|
|
Ft. Worth, TX 75261; 817-481-9772. Dr Farr is at 11330 North May Ave,
|
|
Oklahome City, OK 73120; 405-752-0070 and 799-8781.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> H2O2 CAN BE SELF-ADMINISTERED
|
|
The oral and skin applications offer the option of home treatment, as no
|
|
blood needs to be drawn, and hydrogen peroxide is cheap and plentiful. Keep
|
|
it diluted though; in high concentrations it can irritate sensitive skin and
|
|
induce vomiting when ingested. (Veterinarians routinely give common 3% H2O2 to
|
|
animals that have swallowed poison, to make them throw it up.)
|
|
The starting dosage is one ounce of .5% (1/200) H2O2 in water, and some will
|
|
find they need to start with less. As the peroxide contacts pathogens in the
|
|
stomach it liberates free oxygen, so those with high levels of virus and
|
|
streptococcus in their stomachs may feel slight nausea while the reaction is
|
|
occuring. The dosage is increased by an ounce per day, up to five ounces on
|
|
the fifth day, then up to five ounces three times daily for a week (or until
|
|
disease is no longer present). Then the dosage is tapered back down over a
|
|
five week period.
|
|
Food-grade or Re-agent (these are 35%, dangerous if undiluted) is better
|
|
for internal use, since the common USP 3% H2O2 contains small amounts of
|
|
chemical stabilizers and other impurities. It can still be used if food-grade
|
|
is unavailable; it just isn't as pure.
|
|
An alternate dosage regimen uses three drops of 35% H2O2 in a glass of
|
|
water, three times a day, which is then increased by a drop per dose, per day,
|
|
up to 25 drops per dose in extreme cases. Candidiasis victims should start at
|
|
one drop per dose, and build their tolerance gradually. Some find the taste
|
|
rather bleachy and unpleasant, and may wish to chase it with plain water. It
|
|
can also be mixed with fuit juice, and citrus juices in particular cover the
|
|
taste pretty well.
|
|
Adding seven drops of 35% H2O2 to a gallon of drinking water and shaking
|
|
well purifies it and gives it a pleasant waterfall-like flavor.
|
|
For more dosage details and extensive references on H2O2 taken
|
|
internationally, contact Walter Grotz, Box 126, Delano, MN 55328; 612-972-2144. His progress report, "ECHO", costs $1. He provided much of the material
|
|
regarding H2O2 in this article. Another source is Father Richard Wilhelm, Box
|
|
18, Union Rd., California, KY 41007; 606-635-9297. These gentlemen have
|
|
continued the research initiated by Dr Edward Carl Rosenow (1875-1966). They
|
|
have located over 4000 peer-reviewed medical articles on the applications of
|
|
hypdrogen peroxide, some dating back to the 1800's. They received the National
|
|
Health Federation's Pioneer Award in Medicine this year, for this ongoing
|
|
research. Walter Grotz, in particular, has been touring and lecturing
|
|
extensively on the benefits of self-administered H2O2, literally saving lives
|
|
wherever he goes, and bringing hope to people who had been told their cases
|
|
were hopeless.
|
|
Dr Kurt W. Donsbach at the Bio-Genesis Institute in Rosarita Beach, Baja
|
|
Mexico (714-964-1535), has achieved a remision rate exceeding 70%, in over
|
|
300 patients at last count, most of whom had been previously told they were
|
|
beyond hope, and had "tried everything else". Bio-oxidative therapies are now
|
|
applied to all cases that arrive at this clinic, and all respond except for
|
|
some of those who arrive already very close to death. The Guadalajara Medical
|
|
School, Mexico's largest, is initiating their own tests this summer, and will
|
|
add it to their curriculum upon verification.
|
|
As Dr Donsbach has pointed out, no US clinic or institution has ever tested
|
|
intravenous H2O2 as a treatment for cancer, so any claim that it is not
|
|
effective is not based on clinical trial, and amounts to wilful
|
|
disinformation.
|
|
The Gerson Institute and La Gloria Clinic in Mexico are also using Hydrogen
|
|
peroxide therapies on their patients, after the staff tested it on themselves
|
|
and found it to be beneficial.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> HYDROGEN PEROXIDE IN NATURE
|
|
Hydrogen peroxide occurs naturally in rain and snow, from atmospheric ozone,
|
|
and in mountain streams where rushing water is continuously separated. Most of
|
|
us learned at an early age to drink from a stream only where the water's
|
|
running white, because that's where it gets cleansed of germs. The reason is
|
|
that H2O2 is forming there due to the water's rapid agitation, and that's what
|
|
kills any harmful mcirobes present.
|
|
By just shaking a bottle of water vigorously for a while you can tuck enough
|
|
extra oxygen into it to form detectable amounts of H2O2, improving its purity,
|
|
flavor and vitality.
|
|
It turns out that the soring waters at Lourdes, France, long recognized for
|
|
their remarkable healing properties, are very high in natural hydrogen
|
|
peroxide. The spring is fed by high-altitude snowmelt, so the snow apparently
|
|
absorbs unusually large quantities of ozone on its way from the upper
|
|
atmosphere. Other less-known high altitude springs are said to be likewise
|
|
effective.
|
|
Similar benefits can be obtained in a swimming pool or hot tub, by
|
|
discarding the chlorination system and simply puring in H2O2, or by bubbling
|
|
ozone through the water. One simple method of making pool-grade ozone is to
|
|
pump air past an enclosed ultra-violet lamp.
|
|
Raw, uncooked vegetables and fruits contain natural hydrogen peroxide.
|
|
Cooking drives off the extra oxygen. Fresh fruit juices are well known for
|
|
their blood-cleansing and revitalizing capabiltiies, particularly when they
|
|
are not combined with other foods; this is largely due to the H2O2 they
|
|
contain. Reconstituted frozen juices have much less, and are no longer
|
|
"alive", thus they are not nearly as effective.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> H2O2 IS HEART OF IMMUNE SYSTEM
|
|
Mother's milk contains a high amount of H2O2, especially colostrum, the
|
|
first milk secreted after birth, which activates the newborn's immune system.
|
|
H2O2 is the first line of the body's defense systems, and key to many other
|
|
metabolic processes.
|
|
Under conditions of optimum health, H2O2 is produced by the body's immune
|
|
system in whatever amounts are needed to quickly destroy any invading hostile
|
|
organisms. It is made by combining water in the body with the free oxygen that
|
|
is supposed to be constantly available. When the body is oxygen-starved, it
|
|
can't produce enough H2O2 to wipe out invading pathogens, which can then get
|
|
the upper hand and cause visible disease.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> OXYGEN BOOST IS KEY TO OTHER HEALING METHODS
|
|
When penicillin is effective against infection, it is largely due to the
|
|
formation of bactericidal amounts of H2O2, when glucose is oxidized by O2 in
|
|
the presence of penicillin notatin. (General Biochemistry, Fruton & Simmonds
|
|
577.1 F944 p. 339)
|
|
Much has been made of the healing properties of Interferon, but it is
|
|
unbelievably expensive. However, much of its effectiveness is apparently due
|
|
to the fact that it stimulates production of H2O2 and other oxygen
|
|
intermediates, which are a key factor in reactivating the immune system.
|
|
(Journal of Interferon Research Vol 3, #2, 1983 p 143-151.) Thus Interferon
|
|
may turn out to be simply a very elaborate way to accomplish essentially the
|
|
same thing as the H2O2 regimen.
|
|
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) has long been recognized as essential to the
|
|
proper use of oxygen by the cells. Dr Linus Pauling has demonstrated that
|
|
large doses of vitamin C are effective against cancer. The mainstream medical
|
|
community still has not acknowledged this discovery, let alone put it to use,
|
|
despite Dr Pauling's previous credentials. As it turns out, vitamin C actually
|
|
creates extra H2O2 in the body.
|
|
Organic Germanium (bis-carboxyethyl germanium sesquioxide) is gaining
|
|
increasing recognition as a potent healing substance, primarily through the
|
|
work of Dr Kazuhiko Asai. This compound directly increases the body's oxygen
|
|
supply, as it contains a great deal of oxygen in a form that can be easily
|
|
assimilated. (See "Miracle Cure: Organic Germanium" by Dr Asai, Japan
|
|
Publications, Inc., Tokyo and New York.)
|
|
Taheebo (aka Pau D'Arco or Lapacho Colorado) is a tree that grows in the
|
|
Andes and fixes high concentrations of oxygen in crystalline form into its
|
|
inner bark. The bark has been used for centuries by the native peoples of the
|
|
area to prevent and revesre illnesses, and it is onre reason why they do not
|
|
get cancer. In recent years it has become popular in the US, and it gets by
|
|
the FDA as an "herbal tea" whose distributors wisely make no medical claims
|
|
for it. Again, much of its effectiveness is apparently due to its high oxygen
|
|
content, released in solution when brewed as a tea.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> CAUSES OF OXYGEN DEPLETION
|
|
There are several very common practices that drop a person's oxygen level
|
|
far below where it should ideally be. At sea level, 20% of the atmosphere is
|
|
supposed to be oxygen, but city air gets down as low as 10%, due to smog and
|
|
removal of trees. Air that tastes bad induces a tendency to breathe shallowly,
|
|
getting even less oxygen in the blood. So does lack of exercise.
|
|
The carbon monoxide (CO) in smog does not normally occur in nature in much
|
|
quantity since it's formed by incomplete combustion of carbon compounds. It is
|
|
electrically unbalanced, so it seeks to bond with any available oxygen to
|
|
form the more stable carbon dioxide (CO2). Those who breathe too much carbon
|
|
monoxide tend to die, fast or slow depending on the concentration. It strips
|
|
oxygen molecules from the blood to form CO2, which the body can't use and must
|
|
exhale, at least until its oxygen runs out. The fact that the body considers
|
|
CO2 a waste product, by the way, doesn't say much for carbonated beverages.
|
|
Tap water is very low in oxygen, having had no opportunity to be aerated
|
|
during its journey through the pipes, and being loaded down with chlorine and
|
|
various contaminants. Since cooking drives the extra oxygen out of vegetables,
|
|
if one's diet is mostly cooked or processed foods, there's yet another oxygen
|
|
source lost.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> EATING, FASTING AND OXYGEN BALANCE
|
|
Overeating is so common in the US it's considered "normal". One cause is the
|
|
widespread use of oral antibiotics. While destroying the target germs, these
|
|
drugs also kill off one's intestinal flora, which are needed for healthy
|
|
digestion. With these friendly bacteria gone, digestive efficiency plummets.
|
|
As a result, the sensation of hunger comes more often and lasts longer, as
|
|
the body tries to compensate for ineffective digestion by increasing the
|
|
amounts consumed.
|
|
Even just eating daily, without ever giving the gastro-intestinal tract a
|
|
rest, loads down the blood with toxins and impurities, especially uric acid
|
|
crystals. Under a microscope these resemble tiny coffin-lids, interestingly
|
|
enough, another clue to our Creator's whimsical sense of humor. When the waste
|
|
products exceed the cleansing capacity of the kidneys, the blood ends up just
|
|
having to haul it around the body and stash it wherever possible. These toxins
|
|
literally take up so much room in the blood cells that the cells can't take
|
|
on enough oxygen when they pass through the lungs. The blood's primary
|
|
function of picking up and distributing oxygen gets blocked by overuse of the
|
|
garbage-hauling function.
|
|
Fasting restors health by giving the overloaded blood cells a chance to dump
|
|
the toxins and inert matter through normal organs of elimination at a rate
|
|
they can handle, instead of through the skin, as in acne, or other
|
|
inappropriate places. If the fast is long enough, accumulated residues in the
|
|
body are also scoured out and expelled, giving a considerable spiritual
|
|
resurgence once all the backlog is cleared away. While the debris is flushing
|
|
out, various toxic reactions may come and go. Once the blood is cleansed the
|
|
red corpuscles have a lot more room for oxygen molecules, the oxygen
|
|
saturation of the tissues is high, and health and energy are boosted
|
|
considerably. Each breath now gives more life than it was able to in the
|
|
blood's earlier state.
|
|
Most long-lived native peoples, who are not affected by our more common
|
|
diseases, either include fasting as a regular part of their yearly food
|
|
cycles, or eat much less overall, than industrialized peoples.
|
|
Today many Americans are existing at such high levels of toxicity, that
|
|
their toxic reactions when attempting to fast can seem intense enough to make
|
|
them start eating again before any serious cleansing can be accomplished.
|
|
Fortunately one can partially bypass the lungs and get the blood oxygen level
|
|
back up, by taking oxygenated water internally and through the skin. Several
|
|
weeks of detoxification with this regumen will also make it much easier to
|
|
fast without discomfort, if one chooses. It reduces appetite, logically
|
|
enough, to a level more in line with the body's actual needs.
|
|
The bacteria that aid digestion are not killed by oral use of H2O2, as long
|
|
as it's diluted properly.</p>

<p> OXYWATER MAY EVEN CURE STUPIDITY
|
|
Perhaps the greatest potential benefit is the reversal of the slight brain
|
|
damage caused by long-term oxygen depletion, which can be observed in the
|
|
"average" human, and is sometimes not all that slight. It's well known that
|
|
after about nine minutes of no oxygen, from drowning or whatever, you can
|
|
kiss your brain goodbye. But the implications of constant gradual oxygen
|
|
starvation in our cities somehow escape notice, despite the tiredness,
|
|
depression, irritability, poor judgement and health problems affecting so many
|
|
citizens.
|
|
Increasing the oxygen supply to the brain and nervous system will reverse
|
|
these conditions. The oxywater regimen improves alertness, reflexes, memory
|
|
and apparently intelligence, and may offer the elderly a new weapon against
|
|
senility and related disorders. Alzheimer's and Parkinson's are reported to
|
|
be responding to it. Alcoholics who start taking H2O2 soon lose interest in
|
|
alcohol, and the thirst does not come back. Americans especially, will have
|
|
an opportunity to outgrow many stupid things.
|
|
It's strange that the common drug aspirin "stops pain" by interfering with
|
|
the nervous system's ability to sue oxygen, in the elctrochemical reactions
|
|
needed to transmit impulses. Though maybe it's not that strange, considering
|
|
that the Bayer Company which originated it was a subsidiary of IG Farben, the
|
|
German chemical conglomerate that is famous for, among other things,
|
|
developing and mass-producing the lethal gas Zyklon-B specifically for
|
|
exterminations at nazi death camps.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> ECONOMIC INERTIA
|
|
Dr Terry McGrath, the CEO at Medizone, confirmed that Hydrogen peroxide
|
|
would in principle act much like ozone in destroying the AIDS virus, but
|
|
pointed out that it's never likely to be tested and proven in the laboratory.
|
|
There's simply no economic incentive, since it's an unpatentable process and
|
|
offers no more commercial returns than most other natural remedies. So it's
|
|
completely up to individual patients and concerned citizens to push these
|
|
options out into the open, immediately, before various companies get too
|
|
financially committed to the assumption that AIDS (or any other disease) will
|
|
continue to spread and be incurable.

|
|
<p> VETERINARY AND AGRICULTURAL APPLICATIONS
|
|
Humans aren't the only life form that benefit from compensation for their
|
|
oxygen-deficient air, water and/or lifestyle. H2O2 in animals' drinking water,
|
|
not enough to taste unpleasant, knocks out a growing list of illnesses.
|
|
Locally, cats have gotten rid of their feline leukemia and chlamydia, and are
|
|
back to theirmold energetic slapstick selves. Distemper in dogs has been
|
|
reversed with H2O2, and a growing number of farmers are applying it to their
|
|
livestock to cut losses from disease and infected wounds.
|
|
Plants grow better with an ounce of 3% H2O2 per quart of water they're
|
|
given. Spray the solution on their leaves as well. Seeds germinate faster,
|
|
with bigger sprouts, when they are first soaked in one ounce of 3% H2O2 to a
|
|
pint of water. Instead of cutting trees that are diseased or otherwise
|
|
struggling, spray them with H2O2 and water (1 part 3% to 32 parts water).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> WHY ISN'T THIS ALREADY IN USE?
|
|
The obvious question is, if hyper-oxygenation is so simple and effective,
|
|
why has it taken so long to discover it? Ozone is hardly new and hydrogen
|
|
peroxide has been on the market for over a century. Why aren't all the doctors
|
|
already using it? How come this story isn't all over the major news outlets?
|
|
Turning the question around helps clarify the problem. Just exactly what
|
|
would happen if a cure was discovered that was completely effective against
|
|
the vast majority of diseases, ridiculously cheap and plentiful, and in most
|
|
cases could be self-administered without a physician?
|
|
Would the current medical establishment welcome a breakthrough that could
|
|
render 98% of all drugs, testing and disease-related surgery obsolete? What
|
|
would the response be of the pharmaceutical industrialists, hospital chain
|
|
owners, health insurance moguls, AMA, and FDA?
|
|
Would you expect to read or hear such an announcement from any medical
|
|
journal or media outlet owned by people financially committed to the medical
|
|
status quo, which is practically all of them? How many want to help their own
|
|
occupation become unnecessary?
|
|
And if the cure had already been suppressed once, wouldn't the possible
|
|
blame for allowing people to die without it provide even more incentive to
|
|
continue keeping the whole thing quiet?
|
|
All right then. This is precisely the situation that exists, and the cure
|
|
has indeed been around for ages. It has been independently reported effective
|
|
against virtually every disease at one time or another, in thousands of
|
|
public-domain medical articles, which had never been collected and correlated
|
|
until recently. And it is so simple and basic that concealing it from most
|
|
physicians and the general public has required a tremendous smokescreen of
|
|
artificial complications, narrow specializations, symptomatic classifications
|
|
and user-hostile treatments.
|
|
If this is so, it follows that the more profit-fixated elements of the
|
|
medical establishment will not be too thrilled about the recent surge in
|
|
interest in oxygen therapies. The drug industry has expanded enormously since
|
|
WW II, while America's level of health has dropped from the world's highest to
|
|
the lowest among the industrialized nations. It does look as if the bottom
|
|
line has been money and not health, for a long time.
|
|
The battle for the future of medicine, between Nature's truth and lucrative
|
|
lies, is about to really heat up. We can expect to see disinformation articles
|
|
and newscasts with persuasive medical experts, some of whom will even believe
|
|
what they're saying, warning of the dangers of hydrogen peroxide, ozone, and
|
|
even regular oxygen. These reports will attempt to blur the distinction
|
|
between using therapeutic dosages at safe dilutions, and the harmful effects
|
|
of excessive concentrations. Plenty of grisly examples are available, of what
|
|
happens when various tissues are over-oxidized.
|
|
Anti-oxygenation propaganda pieces will probably not mention that over the
|
|
years the FDA has approved H2O2 as a skin antiseptic at full 3% strength, as a
|
|
hair bleaching agent at 6%, and for internal use as an additiveto milk and in
|
|
aspetic long-shelf-life packaging. Nor are they likely to acknowledge that
|
|
many European countries use ozone and H2O2 in their cities' water supply, and
|
|
that they enjoy much better health than in the US. And they will be unable to
|
|
truthfully cite any examples of people who were harmed by using H2O2 in the
|
|
correct demonstrated therapeutic concentrations.
|
|
If not enough public move quickly to help spread the news of this
|
|
alternative, those how fear it could reduce their economic power may go so far
|
|
as to try and knock off someone who promotes it, while trying to make it look
|
|
like "too much oxygen" is the cause. Also, product tampering has thus far
|
|
mostly targeted Bayer Aspirin's competitors, in case you hadn't noticed, but
|
|
drugstore hydrogen peroxide would not be immune to such tactics. One approach
|
|
might be to plant a contaminated batch in a town where oral use of it is
|
|
catching on and the medical establishment is losing ground, so someone gets
|
|
hurt and the story gets nationwide coverage.
|
|
It is vital for Americans to realize that current economic dynamics don't
|
|
allow the businessmen in charge of the health industry any incentive at all,
|
|
to make people permanently healthy and lose them as customers. It's the same
|
|
reason why the energy conglomerates do not encourage citizens to become
|
|
energy-self-sufficient, the Pentagon has no incentive to stop wars, and the
|
|
American Psychiatric Association sees no advantage to ending mental illness.
|
|
Fortunately the majority of physicians really do want to see their patients
|
|
get well. They also wouldn't mind regaining the respect and admiration with
|
|
which physicians were once more widely regarded. When it comes down to a
|
|
choice between saving lives and protecting profits, most will be brave enough
|
|
to overhaul their medical belief systems, discard obsolete methodologies,
|
|
and basically tell the pharmacuetical conglomerates to go shove it. The rest
|
|
will simply get left behind.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> SOURCES FOR FOOD-GRADE HYDROGEN PEROXIDE
|
|
Most pharmacists have never even heard of it, so it's usually a waste of
|
|
time to ask them. A number of chemical supply houses have 35% H2O2 available;
|
|
check your local directories and call a few. Under FDA pressure, DuPont and
|
|
possibly other major chemical companies have recently issued warnings to their
|
|
distributors, not to sell hydrogen peroxide to people who want it for healing
|
|
purposes. So when you in quire, if they ask what you want it for, it will
|
|
unfortunately be necessary to lie. If you say you want it as a cleaning agent,
|
|
that's at least pretty close to the truth.
|
|
Several physicians quietly sell itthrough the mail, bu they aren't the same
|
|
ones promoting its healing properties, for obvious FDA-related reasons. A good
|
|
source in California, though he can ship it anywhere, is Dr A J McDonald, at
|
|
PO Box 775, Lodi, CA 95240; 209-368-8681; $12/pint.
|
|
Your best move would be to share this information with owners of health-food
|
|
stores in your area. Call and ask them if they have food-grade H2O2 (some
|
|
already do) and tell them why you want it and how it works. Encourage them to
|
|
carry it and give them Dr McDonald's address if they don't seem inclined to
|
|
track down a local source.
|
|
Cleanroom-grade 30% H2O2 (used for cleaning in computer rooms since it is a
|
|
powerful disinfectant and leaves no residue when it evaporates) is reported to
|
|
be just as pure as food-grade and much cheaper. Check with labs that make
|
|
"wafer fabrication" chemicals, or contact the manufacturers of silicon chips
|
|
and other computer parts, and the data processing complexes that might use it
|
|
in their cleanrooms, and ask where they buy it. The more sources become known,
|
|
the harder it will be for anyone to make it unavailable.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> GET THE WORD OUT
|
|
Write your elected officials, send copies of this information, and point out
|
|
what will happen to a politician whose constituents learn he knew of a cure
|
|
for cancer and AIDS but didn't tell them about it. Call in on radio talk shows
|
|
and share the good news, or send copies to their reporters and program
|
|
directors, especially at listener-supported stations as these are less likely
|
|
to suppress it. Don't assume your local papers have already heard of this;
|
|
write letters to editors, and/or send copies of this report. Tack it up on
|
|
every bulletin board you see, and post it on all relevant computer bulletin
|
|
boards.
|
|
If you know teachers, physicians, or health officials who can still think
|
|
for themselves, tell them about this and give the references. Notify your
|
|
local police officials that hyper-oxygenation gives them a way of maing sure
|
|
they'll be safe from infection due to contact with AIDS carriers. If you're
|
|
really feeling bold, walk into the local hospital's cancer wards and hand a
|
|
copy of this report to anyone who can still read, and slip out the back door
|
|
before their doctors walk in. Share it with anyone you know who has a health
|
|
problem, even a minor one; H2O2 apparently works on everything from acne to
|
|
warts.
|
|
Above all, stop buying the idea that cancer, AIDS, and other "terminal"
|
|
illnesses are automatic death sentences. When you hear some celebirty you like
|
|
is sick or dying of this or that, look up their mailing address in Who's Who
|
|
or whatever, and mail them this information. If the address is for an agent,
|
|
which are notorious for blocking attempted communications to their client,
|
|
you might include a cover letter to the agent, stating that the enclosed vital
|
|
news is also being sent to their client's family members, and if he or she
|
|
learns through them that there was life-saving information sent but held up
|
|
at the agent's, that agent will be out of a job. Act like you have the clout
|
|
it takes to make a difference, and you soon will.
|
|
Major scientific breakthroughs go through three stages: first they are
|
|
ridiculed, then violently opposed, and finally they are accepted as having
|
|
been self-evident all along. Let's see if we can short-cut those first two
|
|
stages a bit, OK?</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> DESIGNER DISEASES: AIDS AS BIOLOGICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> It is hard to imagine that a cure for AIDS would be withheld for economic
|
|
reasons alone. Could there be some other motive?
|
|
Despite repeated denials from Defense Department officials, allegations
|
|
persist that AIDS is a genetically altered virus, which has been deliberately
|
|
released to wipe out homosexuals and/or non-whites in the US and reduce
|
|
populations in third world countries.
|
|
At first glance it seems like the epitome of paranoia to accuse the military
|
|
of conspiring to exterminate citizens of their own country, and even some of
|
|
their own troops. However, the vast majority of military personnel could be
|
|
completely unaware of such a plot in their midst, while a relative handful of
|
|
traitors in key positions could conduct it under cover of classified
|
|
operations. And the circumstantial eivdence is actually quite compelling, that
|
|
the AIDS virus was artificially engineered, and planted in several different
|
|
locations at about the same time through vaccination programs, and possibly
|
|
blood bank contaminations.
|
|
At a House Appropriations hearing in 1969, the Defense Department's
|
|
Biological Warfare (BW) division requested funds to develop through gene-splicing a new disease that would both resist and break down a victim's immune
|
|
system. "Within the next 5 to 10 years it would probably be possible to make a
|
|
new infective micro-organism which could differ in certain important respects
|
|
from any known disease-causing organisms. Most important of these is that it
|
|
might be refractory to the immunological and therapeutic processes upon which
|
|
we depend to maintain our relative freedom from infectious disease." (See "A
|
|
Higher Form of Killing: The Secret Story of Chemical and Biological Warfare"
|
|
by R. Harris and J. Paxman, p 266, Hill and Wang, pubs.) The funds were
|
|
approved.
|
|
AIDS appeared within the requested time frame, and has the exact
|
|
characteristics specified.
|
|
In 1972 the World Health Organization published a similar proposal: "An
|
|
attempt should be made to ascertain whether viruses can in fact exert
|
|
selective effects on immune function, e.g. by...affecting T cell function as
|
|
opposed to B cell function. The possibility should also be looked into that
|
|
the immune response to the virus itself may be impaired if the infecting
|
|
virus damages more or less selectively the cells responding to the viral
|
|
antigens." (Bulletin of the W.H.O., vol 47, p 257-74.) This is a clinical
|
|
description of the function of the AIDS virus.
|
|
The incidence of AIDS infections in Africa coincides exactly with the
|
|
locations of the massive W.H.O. smallpox vaccination program in the mid-1970's
|
|
(London Times, May 11, 1987). Some 14000 Haitians then on UN secondment to
|
|
Central Africa were also vaccinated in this campaign. Personnel actually
|
|
conducting the vaccinations may have been completely unaware that the vaccine
|
|
was anything other than what they were told.
|
|
A striking feature of AIDS is that it is ethno-selective. The rate of
|
|
infection is twice as high among Blacks, Latinos and Native Americans as among
|
|
whites, with death coming two to three times as swiftly. And over 80% of the
|
|
children with AIDS and 90% of infants born with it are among these minorities.
|
|
"Ethnic weapons" that would strike certain racial groups more heavily than
|
|
others have been a long-standing US Army BW objective. (Harris and Paxman,
|
|
p 265)
|
|
Under the current US administration biological warfare research spending has
|
|
increased 500 percent, primarily in the area of genetic engineering of new
|
|
disease organisms.
|
|
The "discovery" of the AIDS virus (HTLV3) was announced by Dr Robert Gallo
|
|
at the National Cancer Institute, which is on the grounds of Fort Derrick,
|
|
Maryland, a primary US biological warfare research facility. Actually the AIDS
|
|
virus looks and acts much more like a cross between a bovine leukemia virus
|
|
and a sheep visna (brain-rot) virus, cultured in ahuman cell culture, than any
|
|
virus of the HTLV group.
|
|
The closest thing in this case to a "smoking test tube" so far is the AIDS
|
|
virus itself. If it was possible for such a monstrosity to occur naturally it
|
|
would have done so ages ago and decimated mankind at that time. Some other
|
|
life form would presently be in control of this planet (assuming that is not
|
|
already the case).
|
|
The Hepatitis B vaccine study in 1978 appears to have been the initial means
|
|
of planting the infection in New York City. The test protocol specified non-monogamous males only, and homosexuals received a different vaccine from
|
|
heterosexuals. At least 25-50% of the first reported NY AIDS cases in 1981
|
|
had received the Hepatitis B test vaccine in '78. By 1984, 64% of the vaccine
|
|
recipients had AIDS, and the figures on the current infection rate for the
|
|
participants of that study are held by the US Department of Justice, and
|
|
"unavailable".
|
|
The AIDS epidemic emerged full-blown in the three US cities with "organized
|
|
gay communities" before being reported elsewhere, including Haiti or Africa,
|
|
so it is epidemiologically impossible for either of those countries to be the
|
|
origin point for the US infections.
|
|
Another indication AIDS had multiple origin points is that the 14-month
|
|
doubling time of the disease cannot nearly account for the current number of
|
|
cases if we assume only a small number of initial infections starting in the
|
|
late 1970s.
|
|
Before dismissing the possibility that a US Army BW facility would
|
|
participate in genocide, bear in mind that hundreds of top nazis were imported
|
|
into key positions in the US military-intelligence establishment following
|
|
WW II. US military priorities were then defeating nazis to "defeating"
|
|
communism at any cost, and strengthening military control of economic and
|
|
foreign policy decisions. (See "Project Paperclip" by Clarence Lasby, Atheneum
|
|
214, NY, and "Gehlen: Spy of the Century" by E H Cookridge, Random House.)
|
|
There's no proof those nazis ever gave up their long-term goals of conquest
|
|
and genocide, just because they changed countries. Fascism was and is an
|
|
international phenomenon.
|
|
It's not as this was a total reversal of previous US military policy,
|
|
however. Hitler claimed to have gotten his inspiration for the "final
|
|
solution" from the extermination of Native Americans in the US. For that
|
|
matter the first example of germ warfare in the US was in 1763 when some of
|
|
the European colonists gave friendly Indians a number of blankets that had
|
|
been infected with smallpox, causing many deaths.
|
|
One indication of the actual US military priorities regarding BW was the
|
|
importation of the entire Japanese germ warfare unit (#731) following WW II.
|
|
These people killed over 3000 POWs, including many Americans, in a variety of
|
|
grisly experiments, yet they were granted complete amnesty and given American
|
|
military positions in exchange for sharing their research findings with their
|
|
US Army counterparts.
|
|
Consider also the callous attitude displayed by top military officials
|
|
toward veterans suffering from the aftereffects of exposure to Agent Orange
|
|
and radiation from nuclear weapons tests.
|
|
In fact, since the end of WW II over 200 experimental BW tests have been
|
|
conducted on civilians and military personnel in the US. One example was the
|
|
test spraying from Sept 20-26, 1950 of bacillus globigi and syraceus
|
|
maracezens over 117 square miles of the San Francisco area, vausing pneumonia-like infections in many of the residents. The family of one elderly man who
|
|
died in the test sued the government, but lost. To this day syraceus is a
|
|
leading cause of death among the elderly in the SF area. Another case was the
|
|
joint Army/CIA BW test in 1955, still classified, in which an undisclosed
|
|
bacteria was released in the Tampa Bay region of Florida, causing a dramatic
|
|
increase in whooping cough infections, including twelve deaths. A third
|
|
example was the July 7-10, 1966 release of bacteria throughout the New York
|
|
subway system, conducted by the US Army's Special Operations Division. Due to
|
|
the vast number of people exposed it would be virtually impossible to
|
|
identify, let alone prove, any specific health problems resulting directly
|
|
from this test.
|
|
So despite the loyalty of the vast majority of US military personnel toward
|
|
their country, there are clearly some military officials who have very
|
|
different intentions, and they occupy high wnough positions to impose their
|
|
priorities on military programs and get away with it, so far.
|
|
The first detailed charges regarding AIDS as a BW weapon were published in
|
|
the "Patriot" newspaper in New Delhi, India, on July 4, 1984. It is hard to
|
|
say where the investigations of this story in the Indian press might have led,
|
|
if they had not been sidetracked by two major domestic disasters shortly
|
|
thereafter: the assassination of Indira Gandhi on Oct 31 and the Bhopal Union
|
|
Carbide Plant "accident" that killed several thousand and injured over 200000
|
|
on Dec 3.
|
|
The Soviet press picked up the story in October 1985, making it easy for US
|
|
Defense Department spokesmen to dismiss the charges as "Soviet propaganda",
|
|
even though many other countries carried it. The Soviets recently retracted
|
|
the charges, in the new spirit of US-USSR cooperation.
|
|
A variation on the AIDS-BW theory that is popular in far-right publications
|
|
is that AIDS was developed in Soviet laboratories for use against the US. An
|
|
obvious problem with this idea is that the victims of choice of a Soviet BW
|
|
attack would be anti-communists, not minorities or homosexuals, who are
|
|
generally more left-wing. The people at greatest risk from AIDS in the US are
|
|
in fact the very elements most disliked by arch-conservatives. In any case it
|
|
is simplistic to assume that one country, US or USSR, is conducting this
|
|
campaign against the other. Although concealed in apparent conflicts between
|
|
nations, the real culprits are multi-national fascists on both "sides" still
|
|
bent on massive population reductions and global domination.
|
|
Other motives include the old "divide and conquer" principle; AIDS is
|
|
inspiring fear and mistrust between people, and scaring them away from
|
|
relating to each other at the basic level of sexuality. It is acting as a
|
|
barrier to the attempted cultural resurgence toward peace, love and
|
|
cooperation. Of high school students surveyed last year as to which decade
|
|
they'd most like to have grown up in, 90% chose the 60's. The last thing pro-war fascists want is another "love generation", especially if it is more
|
|
politically sophisticated than the last one.
|
|
Apparently homosexuals were an initial target in the US because their sexual
|
|
practices would help in the rapid spread of the disease, and because it was
|
|
correctly assumed that very few non-homosexual citizens would pay much
|
|
attention during the early years of the epidemic. Also the stigma of a
|
|
"homosexual disease" would interfere with rational analysis and discussion of
|
|
AIDS. Bear in mind that homosexuals were among the first to be exterminated in
|
|
Nazi Germany, before Jews or other minorities, so fewer citizens would object.
|
|
The details of precisely how the AIDS virus was synthesized, mass cultured,
|
|
and spread by incorporating it into vaccination programs are available but
|
|
fairly intrictae. It is beyond the scope of this report to present a crash
|
|
course in virology, epidemiology, genetic engineering, and the military
|
|
strategies of international fascism. Readers are encouraged to obtain and
|
|
study the references cited here, and demand a full inquiry. Those officials
|
|
who are actually involved in the coverup will reveal it by their inaction
|
|
when pressed to investigate.
|
|
Evil is hard to confront, especially on the preposterous scale we have here.
|
|
If you acknowledge the presence of those who think their only hope for
|
|
survival of their kind is to kill off two thirds of all the other kinds, and
|
|
their ability to manage it, you then pretty much have to do something about
|
|
it.

<p>WHY WAR</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> The vast majority of humans desire peace and cooperation, so why are there
|
|
curently 43 wars arging around the globe?
|
|
To find what or who is responsible for a problem that persists and gets
|
|
worse no matter how hard you work at correcting what you think is the cause,
|
|
look to see who benefits from the continuation of the problem.
|
|
The beneficiaries of war are: 1) the owners of the companies that
|
|
manufacture and sell all kinds of weapons systems, 2) the owners of the giant
|
|
banks that loan money to governments to cover the deficits created by defense
|
|
spending, who can then use the billions in interest payments to get their own
|
|
people elected and influence government spending policy toward still greater
|
|
debts, and 3) the heads of governments who have so thoroughly cheated and
|
|
mistreated their citizens that only wars with outside enemies, genuine or
|
|
artificial, will distract the people from recognizing and revolting against
|
|
the real enemy in their own government. Hence, the symbiosis of U.S. and
|
|
Soviet military-industrial-intelligence establishments.
|
|
Imagine that you're in the big-time weapons business. Your profits depend on
|
|
increasing the world-wide demand for weapons. So you re-invest profits and/or
|
|
government funds to "stimulate the market". Hire "ex-"CIA or other clever
|
|
mercenaries to stir up or intensify foreign and domestic hostilities.
|
|
Overhtrow popular leaders and replace them with fascists, who need tons of
|
|
weapons just to keep their own outraged citizens subdued. Don't think about
|
|
the natives your merchandise ruins. Peace movements are costly and must be
|
|
infiltrated and sidetracked, and their mjore effective leaders assassinated.
|
|
The owners of the major news services are tightly connected with the
|
|
defense and banking giants, through interlinked corporate directorates and
|
|
membership in the Council on Foreign Relations. So if you get all your news
|
|
and information from AP, UPI, NBC, ABC, CBS and the other established media
|
|
owned by the same interconnected pro-war corpocracy, of course you'll remain
|
|
totally baffled by the treason-disguised-as-bungling that dominates the news.
|
|
Don't expect those sources to expose any deeper layers of the cover-up of
|
|
illegal weapons deals than are needed to ease out the Reagan team and install
|
|
a different batch of front-men to continue the same policies (if Americans
|
|
allow it). Just like after Watergate.
|
|
Only millionaires can get their own friends appointed to "investigate" them
|
|
when they are accused of criminal acts. Senator John Tower, assigned to "get
|
|
at the truth" in the Iran-Contra affair, is a long-time ally of key weapons
|
|
industrialists. He's even married to the sister of Interarms president Sam
|
|
Cummings, the world's largest private arms merchant.
|
|
If you're really serious about wanting peace on earth, you must first learn
|
|
the identities, motives and plans of the people who profit from the creation
|
|
of wars amd the arming of the combatants. Do you really expect men of great
|
|
wealth and power and no compassion to end on their own such a profitable
|
|
enterprise? They have no incentive to stop production of weapons and torture
|
|
equipment as long as their agents are allowed to stimulate markets for such
|
|
things, by creating and funding supposedly leftist terrorist groups, and
|
|
overthrowing legitimate third-world governments to install fascists.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> The federal deficit is constantly referred to in mass media without ever
|
|
acknowledging why it really exists. The world's largest banks derive their
|
|
largest profits from the interest payments on loans made to governments. Only
|
|
governments borrow billions at a time, and they only do that to cover budgets
|
|
bloated with massive "defense spending". Thus, the top bankers have a vested
|
|
interest in maintaining the appearance of a threat of imminent war. The very
|
|
men who collect the yearly billions in interest payments on the national debt
|
|
are then able with such resources to make sure the government policies calling
|
|
for deficit spending continue.
|
|
To understand the direction the world has taken since World War II, one must
|
|
recognize the full implications of these facts: throughout the war, the Nazis
|
|
had tremendous financial and material support from such U.S. corporations as
|
|
Ford, ITT, Standard Oil and Chase Bank. The Nazi goal of world conquest,
|
|
enslavement and population reduction appealed just as strongly to powerful
|
|
American fascists, and still do. Only a few dozen Nazi officers were ever
|
|
tried for war crimes. Literally thousands of other important Nazi personnel
|
|
simply moved their base of opeartions to the U.S., South America, the Middle
|
|
East and elsewhere. Under the guidance of Martin Bormann, they also removed
|
|
from Germany all the acpital they'd accumulated (over $370 million), and used
|
|
it to form some 750 foreign corporations officially headed by local nationals,
|
|
but with German expatriates as the principal shareholders. These companies,
|
|
reinvesting "from abroad" in Germany's industrial reconstruction, are
|
|
responsible for its rapid recovery and current economic strength. They also
|
|
are tightly interconnected with their American counterparts, and include some
|
|
of today's biggest multinationals. The loyalties of the Nazis who went
|
|
underground remained with the Third Reich and its long-range goals. And the
|
|
Nazi's niggest enemy, our war-time ally the Soviet Union, suddenly became
|
|
"our" enemy. Only these two superpowers were big enough to provide a
|
|
believable threat to each other, to justify continuing to maintain large-scale
|
|
military forces and industries in both countries.
|
|
The governemnt checks and balances provided in the U.S. Constitution were
|
|
completely sidestepped by the formation of the C.I.A. in the Executive Branch
|
|
immediately following World War II and stomped into the ground as more such
|
|
agencies were added (NSC, DIA, DISC< DARPA, FEMA, etc.). Few citizens are
|
|
aware yet that the CIA was created by Nazi general Reinhard Gehlen, Hitler's
|
|
chief of intelligence against the Russians. Gehlen was brought over to the
|
|
U.S. right after the war with his entire staff, and given 200 million dollars
|
|
to continue the job for "our side". At the same time, hundreds of other top
|
|
Nais were imported (this was called "Project Paperclip") and given new
|
|
identities and government positions. They formed the core of the new U.S.
|
|
intelligence, defense, and aerospace establishments. Why do you suppose every
|
|
CIA-engineered coup installs a Nazi-like dictatorship that suppresses,
|
|
tortures and murders the native populations?
|
|
The first thing new intelligence agents are taught is to lie convincingly.
|
|
With the intelligence/defense establishment in almost total control over the
|
|
U.S. government, naturally we now have an actor in the White House. Official
|
|
deception of citizens is a dialy occurrence, for "national security reasons",
|
|
which has more to do with protecting those in power than protecting the
|
|
nation. But even though many government lies are exposed, many others have not
|
|
yet come out. It is a common tactic to confess to small misdeeds to throw
|
|
investigators off the trail of major crimes.
|
|
Intelligence agents are also taught how to sabotage, steal, arrange coups,
|
|
set up phony front organizations, blow up buildings, cars and planes, and kill
|
|
people without being detected. These are their products, the things they are
|
|
paid to do. So its it any wonder we now have a world in which all these things
|
|
occur constantly and are attributed to other sources?
|
|
When truth is what is really wanted, many popular deceptions must be given
|
|
up. Most people trying to reach the truth would prefer to pause at a safe
|
|
plateau of group agreement along the way. However, the world situation has
|
|
reached the point where learning what is really going on is far more important
|
|
than maintaining confidence in governments, corporations, schools and
|
|
established media. When the map you're following is of some imaginary land
|
|
instead of where you really are, of course you'll be mystified by what you see
|
|
around you.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> If while reading this you are experiencing disbelief or outrage, you'd
|
|
better start studying some of the references listed below, because you'll be a
|
|
lot more upset if you find out later that it's all true, whe it's too late for
|
|
you to do anything about it.
|
|
Or perhaps nations of sheep deserve to be fleeced, and then...? Come on!
|
|
It's time to stop pretending we don't know any better.</p>

<p>PREDICTIONS</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> Often those taken in by clever con-jobs don't report it, preferring not to
|
|
look like stupid suckers. On a grand scale, this and group agreement
|
|
dependency must explain most Americans' continued tolerance of the high
|
|
treason portrayed as well-intentioned bungling, that passes for U.S. foreign
|
|
and domestic policy. Until now.
|
|
This year, millions of Americans will stop buying the official stories and
|
|
start looking and thinking for themselves, including those military and
|
|
government people who discover they've also been betrayed. We're about to see
|
|
unprecedented non-compliance with institutionalized scams and foreign
|
|
conquests that have enriched a few at great cost to all others.
|
|
No longer mistaking the symbol for the thing, true patriots will reaffirm
|
|
their loyalty to the people, land and principles of America; not the White
|
|
House, Pentagon or corporate warmongers who create and strengthen our enemies
|
|
so we'll keep paying more for "security".
|
|
Communism is such a stupid and repressive system that it has been easy to
|
|
persuade citizens that it's also the cause of all our troubles. But such
|
|
simplistic explanations for continuing warfare, in the face of a global demand
|
|
for peace, are looking more ridiculous every year. The collaboration at the
|
|
highest levels between U.S. and Soviet weapons merchants to perpetuate demand
|
|
for their products has become too blatant to ignore.
|
|
A much higher percentage of American business, media and government leaders,
|
|
ashamed at having allowed U.S.-sponsored coups, terrorism, genocide,
|
|
parasitism and hypocrisy to make the U.S. the most hated and feared of all
|
|
nations, will stop assisting their own would-be enslavers and instead pour
|
|
some of their wealth into world-healing projects. They'll choose to be
|
|
remembered as heroes who helped rescue the planet at the last possible minute,
|
|
rather than as greedy, short-sighted jerks who kept trying to hold back the
|
|
future right up until it crushed them.
|
|
Regardless of who helps and who doesn't, the suppression of proven solutions
|
|
for major problems and resource shortages by the monopolists that profit by
|
|
perpetuating them, will no longer be permitted.
|
|
The dams of deception are about to burst, and the flood of truth will simply
|
|
wash away anyone who tries to stop it. Far safer to help the truth come out
|
|
now and release the pressure less explosively.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> FREE ENERGY OPTIONS</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> There is no energy shortage, only a blocked information flow on fuelless
|
|
energy sources. The major media are owned mostly by the same characters who
|
|
own the energy conglomerates, so they should not be expected to publicize
|
|
alternatives to their monopolies. Citizens who are tired of being misled need
|
|
to look into the scientific underground's information channels.
|
|
Everything perceivable is composed of energy. The fabric of space itself has
|
|
an energy density per cubic centimeter far exceeding the entire world's energy
|
|
consumption, regardless of whather the space is occupied by matter. This is
|
|
due to its oscillation frequency being sixty octaves above the top of the
|
|
known spectrum, which stops at an electron's diameter. Energy potential
|
|
increases with frequency of vibration. We do not feel the enormous pressure of
|
|
this electric fluid, just as we do not feel the ten or fifteen tons of
|
|
constant air pressure on our bodies.
|
|
Tiny amounts of this energy are drawn from the "space-juice" in all energy
|
|
production methods. The apparent source of energy may be photons, combustion
|
|
of hydrocarbons, atomic disruption or mechanical conversion, but in all cases
|
|
it is the same ultimate source, appearing in various forms.
|
|
The US Patent Office categorically denies patents to any invention that
|
|
seems to involve "perpetual motion". Manufacturers won't touch an unpatentable
|
|
device. Thus the public is denied access to energy conversion systems that
|
|
seem to derive power "from nowhere". Actually the law of conservation of
|
|
energy is not violated by such devices. They are merely tapping an officially
|
|
unrecognized source. A windmill would appear to violate conservation of energy
|
|
as well, if we had no other means of feeling or detecting the wind.
|
|
Interestingly, despite this restriction a number of patents have been
|
|
granted for instruments that can run themselves and have power left over. In
|
|
most of these the self-powering feature is not directly pointed out in the
|
|
patent application. Apparently it goes unnoticed by the overworked examiners,
|
|
who by now have approved nearly five million patents.
|
|
Our civilization utilizes only a small percentage of those five million
|
|
inventions. Scattered among the remainder are some fascinating alternatives to
|
|
what currently prevails. They have never been implemented only because they
|
|
threaten to render various existing industrial monopolies obsolete. Agents of
|
|
the power elite routinely sabotage efforts to get such breakthroughs into
|
|
mass production.
|
|
Currently in the news is Joe Newman's Energy Machine. While Reagan stalled
|
|
on acid rain, and Hodel pushed offshore drilling, the US Patent Office
|
|
continued to block commercial development of this latest of many government-smothered free energy devices.
|
|
Newman is suing the patent office for refusing to grant his machine a
|
|
patent, in violation of their own regulations and the advice of the expert
|
|
they chose to examine the device. They also are issuing false statements to
|
|
the press about the invention's workability. Over thrity respected electrical
|
|
engineers, physicists and technical experts have endorsed Newman's machine and
|
|
signed affidavits confirming his claim of greater energy output than external
|
|
energy input. Ten congressmen have introduced bills which would require
|
|
Newman's patent be granted.
|
|
As the Newman battle heated up, Reagan appointed Donald Quigg, a thirty-year
|
|
Phillips Petroleum executive, to head the Patent and Trademark Office. The
|
|
Judge entrusted with the case, Thomas P. Jackson, has violated judicial
|
|
procedure, ignored expert testimony and ordered Newman's prototype confiscated
|
|
and destroyed. During Watergate, Jackson was the attorney for John Mitchell
|
|
and CREEP's corrupt finance division.
|
|
Newman identified the gyroscopic properties of subatomic particles and built
|
|
a unique arrangement of coils and magnets to draw energy directly from them,
|
|
thus converting almost immeasurably small amounts of the machine's mass into
|
|
energy. Theory and device are detailed in "The Energy Machine", $38.45
|
|
including postage, from Joseph Newman Publishing Co, Route 1, Box 52,
|
|
Lucedale, Mississippi 39452; 601-947-7147. Free press releases and brief
|
|
technical decsriptions are also available, send SASE.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> Much quieter is H R Johnson of Blacksburg, Virginia. His motor simply puts
|
|
the continuous power of magnets in a usable rotary form. The device is
|
|
composed of specially curved magnets, and uses the difference in force and
|
|
quality of their north and south poles to create a net unidirectional
|
|
rotation. His patent number is 4151431, granted in 1979, but commercial
|
|
production does not appear to be occurring.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> Professor Shinichi Seike of Uwajima, Japan has built gravity-field energy
|
|
converters out of coils resembling mobius bands and klein bottles. The
|
|
equations describing electrical flow in such topological curiosities are very
|
|
strange indeed. Imaginary numbers appear in the energy output figures. Power
|
|
seems to well up inside the devices, which have no moving parts.
|
|
Seike's work is covered in his book, "The Principles of Ultra-Relativity",
|
|

|
|
|
|
<p> Fourteen years ago Joseph Papp was granted US Patwnt #3670494 for his
|
|
Noble Gas Plasma Engine. A mixture of inert gases (helium, neon, argon,
|
|
krypton, xenon) is sparked in a sealed cylinder with a piston. The spark
|
|
causes the gases to expand violently though no cpombustion is occurring.
|
|
Mechanical energy is delivered by the piston's displacement. The gases
|
|
immediately collapse to their original density and the cyle is repeated. After
|
|
several thousand hours the gases lose their elasticity and are replaced.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> Many types of ordinary rock actually emit electricity at a rate of roughly a
|
|
volt per foot thickness of rock. Take a slab of granite or basalt, paint
|
|
copper on both ends and attach wires to the painted surfaces, making in effect
|
|
a large capacitor. Hook the wires to an electrostatic type voltmeter that can
|
|
detect small currents, and a continuous flow of electricity will appear. The
|
|
amount of current increases with the surface area of the rock faces. The
|
|
voltage fluctuates daily by about thirty percent, and is strongest when our
|
|
galaxy's core is overhead, suggesting that the rock is translating gravity
|
|
waves into electricity. It remains to be seen in this can be adapted to
|
|
provide usable amounts of energy. Details on this phenomenon can be found in
|
|
Townsend Brown's papers on "Petro-voltaics", $17 from Rex Research, Box 1258,
|
|
Berkeley. CA 94701.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> There are many other free energy systems that have been devised in this
|
|
century alone, with varying degrees of efficiency and verifiability. None have
|
|
stood a chance so far against the existing energy monopolies. Perhaps the
|
|
threat of nuclear-and oil-induced ecological and economic disasters is
|
|
finally severe enough to bring on a massive public demand for re-examination
|
|
of these clean alternatives. In future issues of NOW WHAT we'll examine some
|
|
of these in more detail. Meanwhile a reference list is provided for those who

anyone would even try to hitch a ride in this time and place - a feeling I
|
|
could appreciate.
|
|
It was getting rather obvious that years of city life had left me in pitiful
|
|
shape. Only a few hours out in a hot but otherwise ordinary American desert
|
|
and I was nearly wiped out already.
|
|
This was no longer just a matter of missing a long-shot job interview that
|
|
might have helped me postpone lifting anything heavier than a paintbrush a
|
|
little while longer. It was starting to look like all my stubborn resistance
|
|
to changing times had caught up with me. When their basic survival needs get
|
|
threatened, most folks' interest in "art" evaporates quicker than piss on a
|
|
desert bush, which got the unpleasant surprise of discovering that it could
|
|
get even more resentful than it already was.
|
|
Shortly after that so did I. My crude pack of stuff salvaged from the car
|
|
got its fill of bouncing and bellyaching, split open and scattered feeble
|
|
expressions of American "culture" across the gravel. How appropriate. The
|
|
phrase "World Without Slack" kept taking opn new and more exasperating
|
|
significance.
|
|
While I was crouching there, telling various inanimate objects how stupid
|
|
they were and patching the pack up by tying my shirt around it, all my arm and
|
|
neck hairs suddenly stood up.
|
|
I turned around, and there was the smoothest-looking sports car I've ever
|
|
seen, standing with the passengr door open. Instant floods of relief struggled
|
|
with major danger signals for control of my legs. There was no way I could
|
|
have missed seeing that car miles ahead of its arrival. I'd been looking back
|
|
a lot oftener than any logical expectations could justify. And even with all
|
|
the smkog that's crept into the desert basins, visibility was still at least
|
|
twenty miles, on a road going straight over the horizon.
|
|
The desperate craving for shade won out. Dehydration makes me capable of
|
|
superhuman rationalizations. The car was actually the same shimmery color as
|
|
the road, and might have been mistaken for part of the constant mirage. The
|
|
motor was too quiet to be heard over the mild desert winds - which, rather
|
|
than cooling me off, tended to produce a slight blowtorch effect.
|
|
And anyway, how could something so beautiful be dangerous? Its curve was
|
|
completely different yet thoroughly appropriate. The interior was a deep moss
|
|
green, and a cool ocean breeze seemed to be flowing from inside it. This car
|
|
was definitely not made in Detroit.
|
|
As I stepped up to the open door I could see that the kid at the wheel
|
|
looked harmless enough - scrawny, and unarmed unless his swimming trunks had a
|
|
secret compartment, or the car itself was one big weapon. I collapsed into the
|
|
strange green upholstery and pulled the door shut. The sound reminded me
|
|
slightly of a submarine hatch closing.
|
|
"Thanks", I rasped. "Thatw was getting embarrassing."
|
|
The kid just smiled and floored it. We went from zero to about one-ten in
|
|
seven seconds, with no gear changes that I could detect. The bucket seat
|
|
yielded in all the right places, but I immediately discovered there were no
|
|
seat belts. And all that I could figure out was that he must have some really
|
|
ultimate soundproofing, because I could hardly hear any engine noise. This was
|
|
just sort of a deep muffled pounding whoosh, like a distant waterfall.
|
|
"What kind of car is this?"
|
|
"You sound awful. Here, soak those vocal cords before you break something.
|
|
Unless you're trying for a New Sound, maybe."
|
|
I seized the water jug, closed my eyes and swallowed until I had to stop for
|
|
air. Then I sat there gasping and trying to identify some of the extra stuff
|
|
in the car's instrument cluster. What little I thought I could recognize made
|
|
no sense at all, so I looked at the driver instead.
|
|
He didn't seem to make sense either. For one thing, he was soaked, not from
|
|
sweat but as if he'd just been swimming five minutes ago. He looked quite cool
|
|
and comfortable, and smelled like seawater - of which the nearest had to be a
|
|
couple hundred miles away.
|
|
Also, he didn't entirely look like a kid, up close. The face was maybe
|
|
nineteen, but the eyes seemed much too confident and experienced. Though he
|
|
looked thin, the muscle definition was unusually sharp. And his hands and feet
|
|
looked like they'd seen at least thirty years of heavy work, and were up for
|
|
plenty more whenever.
|
|
I acted mildly unastounded by our speed and silence and took another shot at
|
|
conversation. "You're probably wondering how I came to be stuck out here."
|
|
"Not really."
|
|
Normally I'd expect to be annoyed at such indifference to human suffering,
|
|
especially mine, but he was so matter-of-fact about it.
|
|
He added, "One dead car, three hours cold, and one overheated hitchhiker two
|
|
hours' walk past it. Nothing else around for miles. Fairly short list of
|
|
possible explanations, eh?"
|
|
In these irritating times that sort of a statement might be considered as a
|
|
mild put-down, especially from a strange and evidently well-financed teenager.
|
|
But here it came across perfectly straightforward.
|
|
I credited my extra tolerance to the relief of getting out from under the
|
|
sun, and to the water's invigorating aftertaste.
|
|
"What's in this stuff?"
|
|
"A few trace minerals, some North Pole magnetism and extra oxygen."
|
|
My stomach started feeling rather odd. "How do you get magnetism into
|
|
water?"
|
|
"Put the north face of a large, flat magnet against it for a while. Makes it
|
|
more able to hold things in solution. Don't use the south face unless the
|
|
water's for plants."
|
|
"Uh, just how much stuff is in solution here?"
|
|
"Very little. It's mostly to help it dissolve and carry out unnecessary
|
|
stuff from whoever's drinking it."
|
|
I had to admit that sounded like a good idea. Depending of course on who was
|
|
defining "unnecessary", and for what.
|
|
He took a giant swallow of the jug so I let it slide, then remembered
|
|
something else. "How could you tell my car was three hours cold?"
|
|
"Infrared. Comes in handy when you drive at night a lot."
|
|
I was trying hard not to goggle at the instrument panel, but it was rather
|
|
spooky. There were pressure and temperature gauges: internal, external and
|
|
somewhere else. There were high-voltage dials, gas-mixture indicators, gauges
|
|
for magnetic and gravitational field intensities, a ship's floating compass,
|
|
little radar and sonar screens, dials I couldn't identify at all, and some
|
|
sort of range finder.
|
|
But there was no fuel gauge anywhere. Also, the speedometer had no numbers
|
|
on it, just colors, and the needle was shockingly low on the dial. Unless it
|
|
read backwards, it was meant to be able to register speeds many times higher
|
|
than what we were doing. If that wasn't weird enough, there was an altimeter,
|
|
next to a depth gauge.
|
|
Looking at all that stuff, I didn't know whether to laugh or try to escape.
|
|
A lot of it appeared to have been salvaged from other vehicles. Most of the
|
|
controls were touch-sensitive patches behind the same clear shield that
|
|
covered all the gauges. What should have been a gearshift obviously wasn't,
|
|
since he hadn't touched it yet. There were extra knobs branching off it, and
|
|
what looked like backhoe levers beside it. There were also several small video
|
|
screens, all empty.
|
|
Seen against all this, the faded "Bob" sticker on the glove compartment was
|
|
rather reassuring. I'd met lots of SubGeniuses, and while most were pretty
|
|
peculiar, none seemed to be actually dangerous to me so far.
|
|
Just over the windscreen was a full-length detailed chart of the
|
|
electromagnetic spectrum, with tiny indicator lights along the whole thing,
|
|
including an extra upper section I'd never seen. Strangest of all, sprouting
|
|
from among the gauges were nine different clock faces with little dagger-shaped joysticks poking out of them.
|
|
My stomach suddenly felt very peculiar, and I involuntarily shook like a wet
|
|
dog for an instant, then let out a tremendous belch. Just as suddenly I felt
|
|
all right, better than I had all day.
|
|
"What the heck was that?"
|
|
"You just clobbered the anaerobic germs in your stomach, and also boosted
|
|
your oxygen saturation a bit."
|
|
"Huh?"
|
|
"You have a severe oxygen deficiency, like most people in this time period.
|
|
Due to pollution and deforestation, right now your atmospheric oxygen levels
|
|
are at an all-time low, so the oxygen pressure in your blood is insufficient
|
|
to guard you against oxygen-hating microbes. You become slightly stagnant, and
|
|
serve as a growth medium for anaerobic parasites. But all pathogens are
|
|
inherently much weaker than you own cells, which are a lot more highly evolved
|
|
than viruses, bacteria, fungus and such. So you can always get rid of them by
|
|
just raising your internal oxygen concentration above what they can stand.
|
|
I was still working on the first part. "I've heard of all kinds of
|
|
nutritional deficiencies, but oxygen?"
|
|
"Your body's supposed to be at least eighty percent water, which is eight
|
|
ninths oxygen."
|
|
"Wait a minute, water is two hydrogens for each oxygen, right?" I was not
|
|
exactly a chemistry whiz.
|
|
"Yeah, but the oxygen atom is sixteen times bigger, remember?" I hadn't.
|
|
"You're supposed to be composed of over two thirds oxygen, twice as much as
|
|
everything else in you combined. The bigger a proportion of something in a
|
|
formula, the more margin there is in the high to low range of how much you can
|
|
put in and still make that formula work. That also applies to the formula for
|
|
an organism.
|
|
"So you can see how a person could exist anywhere along a wide range of
|
|
oxygen saturation that can support his cells, though the lower levels are not
|
|
much fun. But people can still function, more or less, even at oxygen
|
|
percentages so low that anaerobic microbes can inhabit them quite
|
|
comfortably."
|
|
"Well, how can you tell if your oxygen level is high enough?"
|
|
"If you get sick, it isn't."
|
|
"But everyone gets sick sometimes."
|
|
"Everyone you know about. You're all oxygen-starved, that's all."
|
|
I considered this while watching the desert race by. I was strangely
|
|
reluctant to ask how we managed to hurtle over this beat-up old highway
|
|
without feeling any real bumps or vibrations. Instead I asked, "Well, doesn't
|
|
the encyclopedia still say oxygenx makes up twenty-one percent of our
|
|
atmosphere?"
|
|
"Have you measured it yourself lately? They haven't. They just keep printing
|
|
the same figures from earlier editions."
|
|
"So what level is it?"
|
|
"Depends where you measure it. In a healthy rain forest it can still get up
|
|
over twenty percent. But most large cities have very few trees and lots of
|
|
carbon monoxide, which, being electrically unstable, gobbles up free oxygen
|
|
like crazy, to become carbon dioxide, which is more stable. In those cities it
|
|
gets down to twelve percent or less at times. In Eastern Europe, with the
|
|
whole Western world's pollution blowing at them, even wooded areas can drop
|
|
below fifteen percent. Entire forests are dying there. For humans, suffocation
|
|
occurs at around seven percent."
|
|
"You mean that the cities are already more than halfway to suffocating?"
|
|
"Right. What do you think causes early heart attacks, crib deaths and
|
|
crashed immune systems? Very little of that happening in mountain villages. A
|
|
mammal's immune system uses lots of single-atom oxygen in knocking off germs,
|
|
and carries it around H2O2. That's because singlet oxygen itslef is so
|
|
reactive it only stays loose for maybe a millionth of a second before
|
|
oxidizing the nearest appropriate molecule. You should be internally producing
|
|
and using several quarts of H2O2 every day, but you can't if there's not
|
|
enough oxygen available from your air."
|
|
A little of this was coming back now. "H2O2? You mean hydrogen peroxide?"
|
|
"Yeah, oxygen water. The tiny amount in what you drank oxidized the
|
|
pathogens in your stomach."
|
|
"That stuff they sell in brown bottles?" Yucko.
|
|
"No, the pure food-grade kind, thirty-five percent, which can hurt you if
|
|
you don't dilute it enough. Lots of health-food stores carry it now. The
|
|
drugstore variety has chemical stabilizers in it. Okay to put a little on a
|
|
wound, but not much else."
|
|
"Stabilizers?"
|
|
"Supposedly to keep the oxygen from escaping, but it's really more stable
|
|
than they let on. Mainly it's so no one will use enough of it all at once to
|
|
get rid of a major disease that should have netted some hospital at least
|
|
twenty grand."
|
|
"What? Which diseases can you get rid of with it?"
|
|
"All of them. But oxygen water is too simple and cheap to draw any
|
|
commercial interest. Unpatentable."
|
|
"What do you mean, all of them?"
|
|
"Like I said, all disease organisms prefer much lower oxygen saturations
|
|
than what your cells function best at. Their primitive, fragile membranes
|
|
break down at concentrations a healthy human cell merely finds invigorating.
|
|
You need it constantly; oxygen's the only thing you can die in minutes
|
|
without. Get enough and it protects you from disease."
|
|
"What about cancer?"
|
|
"Especially cancer. It's anaerobic; high oxygen levels kill it pretty fast.
|
|
Otto Warburg won a Nobel Prize back in the 1930s for pointing that out, but
|
|
your medical establishment has ignored the principle since then. Too
|
|
unprofitable. Cancer cells get energy from glucose by fermentation instead of
|
|
oxidizing it like normal cells. This wastes so much energy that the healthy
|
|
cells can't get enough to function and the cancer squeezes them out, unless
|
|
you intervene by raising the oxygen level one way or another."
|
|
I thought of a couple of friends who should be hearing this. My growing
|
|
exhilaration wasn't just from watching the now painless desert zooming past.
|
|
"Why isn't all this written up somewhere?"
|
|
"It is, it's just unpublicized. Hundreds of physicians have independently
|
|
reported curing all kinds of supposedly incurable diseases by raising the
|
|
patient's oxygen saturation, whether with intravenous H2O2, ozone blood
|
|
infusions, taheebo or hyperbaric oxygen tanks, all of which simply raise the
|
|
level of H2O2 in the blood. But the way of modern science is to disregard any
|
|
facts that fit the accepted lucrative theory. And disease is a multibillion-dollar industry, in case you hadn't noticed."
|
|
"For someone so young, you are well-informed but awfully cynical."
|
|
He chuckled lightly. "Just how old do you hink I am?"
|
|
I was spared the embarrassment of guessing completely wrong by a small
|
|
interruption. A kamikaze jackrabbit apparently decided we were its ticket out
|
|
of this desert and maybe out of rabbithood, and scooted right in front of us.
|
|
The kid's hand twisted part of the steering wheel like a motorcycle throttle,
|
|
and the whole car smoothly lifted a couple of feet then dropped back to the
|
|
road. I turned and glimpsed a surprisingly complicated expression on the
|
|
receding rabbit.
|
|
"Would you mind telling me where this car was made?"
|
|
"Detroit, mostly."
|
|
"Uh, Detroit in Michigan?"
|
|
"Where else?"
|
|
I really wasn't holding up my end of the discussion very well. But I was
|
|
still determined to at least be too cool to ask why he was dripping wet in an
|
|
air-conditioned car ninety miles from any water.
|
|
That was another thing I realized just then: The air conditioning was
|
|
supreme. Instead of the usual dry, synthetic-tasting car air, this air was
|
|
cool, moist, and invigorating, like the air near a waterfall. The roasted
|
|
landscape whizzing by, and the relentless sun beating down all around, might
|
|
as well have been on a movie screen for all the effect they ahd on us.
|
|
I tried a different approach. "Is your air conditioner a custom job as
|
|
well?"
|
|
"Actually it's fairly standard at this car's point of origin. Nice, eh? The
|
|
extra moisture, oxugen and negative ions make it pretty close to the optimum
|
|
breathing mix for humans."
|
|
I spotted the inside air-mix gauge. "Thirty percent oxygen? Isn't that
|
|
supposed to be twenty-one?"
|
|
:Just because it was twenty-one when the encyclopedias first came out
|
|
doesn't mean that's optimum. Desertification of Earth has been going on a long
|
|
time, though the current rate is unprecedented. Remember hearing about those
|
|
scientists who measured the air mix in bubbles trapped in fossilized amber? It
|
|
tested out around this high. These samples were trapped about the time the
|
|
mammals took over. Not much tree-cutting or gas-burning going on back then,
|
|
and the plant-animal ratio was ideal. Under those conditions eventually humans
|
|
appeared, designed to operate at that oxygen percentage."
|
|
"So it's dropped by a third since then?"
|
|
"It's had lots of help. Currently the manufacture and operation of your
|
|
machinery consumes eighteen times the oxygen you use up through breathing.
|
|
That's the equivalent of another ninety million people standing around sharing
|
|
your air, all so someone can keep selling oil and cars and such. Talk about
|
|
wasteful, it works out that driving twenty thousand miles uses up as much
|
|
oxygen as breathing for two years."
|
|
"Folks do have a right to travel, though."
|
|
"Absolutely, but there are much cleaner, cheaper and safer methods, ready
|
|
and waiting, still as effective as back when they were invented and neglected.
|
|
Same with oxygen as a healing principle. It's an ancient concept, appearing in
|
|
various forms throughout history, but you all need it now more than ever. It
|
|
stands to reason that if your body contains over three times the percentage of
|
|
oxygen that's in the air, it has to work a lot harder at concentrating
|
|
whatever it extracts through nreathing when the atmospheric oxygen level
|
|
drops. So supplementing it with oxywater or other high-oxygen substances
|
|
becomes the most logical short-term solution."
|
|
"How about long-term?"
|
|
"Re-establish a healthy global oxygen production-consumption balance, if
|
|
you're up to the task. It can be done, though the situation may need to get
|
|
even worse before enough folks get their priorities straight. Like a lot of
|
|
things, oxygen is taken for granted, but since it is so reactive, free oxygen
|
|
has to constantly be replenished or it all gets bound up in other compounds.
|
|
Keep trashing your forests and your oceans' phytoplankton, and you'll all be
|
|
gasping long before X-Day."
|
|
"Oh yeah, when's that again?"
|
|
"Soon enough that you'd better get cracking. It'll be hard enough as it is,
|
|
trying to mobilize a bunch of oxygen-starved Normals, and the longer you wait
|
|
the more sick and tired and useless they'll become."
|
|
I had a sudden flash. "Is this why people were supposedly stronger and lived
|
|
longer in early Biblical times?"
|
|
"Precisely. Though by then there was already some atmospheric damage from
|
|
earlier civilzations."
|
|
"What, like Atlantis?"
|
|
"Among others. Many civilizations go through a brief deforestation and
|
|
fossil-fuel-burning stage, but this one has been artificially retarded and
|
|
kept there for over a century."
|
|
"By whom?"
|
|
"When you find the answer to that question, you will then know what to do
|
|
about it."
|
|
"Some reason you can't just tell me?"
|
|
"At this point you'd never believe it, and that would interfere with your
|
|
grasping certain other necessary facts first."
|
|
I made a disrespectful noise. "You sound just like my old college professor,
|
|
Mr. McSploont."
|
|
"How clever of him. What'd he teach?"
|
|
"Disregard for college professors, mostly. I expect he eventually melted
|
|
down in the white heat of his own brilliance."
|
|
He smiled a knowinxg smile that wasn't smug or irritating, but rather a bit
|
|
frightening, hinting at vast hard-won experience.
|
|
"So besides being physically less healthy overall, noticed anything else
|
|
wrong with city folks?" he asked quietly.
|
|
"You name it, they've screwed it up. Basically most of them just act
|
|
unbelievably lame, and tolerate the most absurd stuff you can imagine. There's
|
|
some exceptions, but I mean, like, have you switched on a TV set lately?"
|
|
He casually touched part of the spectrum chart overhead. One screen lit up
|
|
with a retina-wrenching ten-second montage of about ninety different TV
|
|
channels, then he switched it off. "Yup, pretty pitiful."
|
|
I was staring at the blank screen. "Uh, well, yeah, there you are."
|
|
"So what do you reckon makes them act like that?"
|
|
"Beats me." It was reassuring to refer to "them" as if I had rarely lived in
|
|
a city. "It's like they're all brain-damaged. Which is a real drag,
|
|
considering that's where all the governments are located... hey, wait a
|
|
minute."
|
|
He grinned. "Exactly. What happens to a brain that gets oxygen-starved?"
|
|
Mine seemed to be slipping gears a bit. "It goes to that big scrap bucket in
|
|
the sky, eventually. But continuous gradual oxygen starvation, over a period
|
|
of years..." I had to admit this could explain an awful lot of modern human
|
|
behavior. "Earlier you implied that all this was somehow deliberate. Does
|
|
someone actually want people brain-damaged and stupid?"
|
|
"Did you attend a public school? Do you follow the so-called news? Have you
|
|
browsed through a pharmacy recently?"
|
|
"Well, okay, but aren't most of the guys behind all that living right there
|
|
in the cities too?"
|
|
"The most powerful ones all have their own remote strongholds, and can
|
|
afford to have many others fronting for them. A good rule of thumb is, if
|
|
someone's in the news, that person's not actually running things. And hired
|
|
help are seldom in on the big picture, or the true purpose of their assigned
|
|
tasks."
|
|
We reached the crest of a long, low rise an,d started down the other side.
|
|
There was a slight bend ahead, with another road feeding in from the south,
|
|
all of which seemed a lot mroe interesting than it really was, due to
|
|
following so many miles of straightness. At the very edge of visibility it
|
|
looked like there was a little town. It struck me that I had one hell of a lot
|
|
of unasked questions still, and for all I knew this could be his destination
|
|
coming up.
|
|
I took a wild guess. "Since you're not a big fan of air pollution, I assume
|
|
this car is electrical, somehow."
|
|
"You could say that. It has more than one system, but the motor we're using
|
|
at the moment is a variation on the Noble Gas Plasma Engine invented by Joseph
|
|
Papp in the early seventies. Of course, since it's cheap and fuelless it was
|
|
never allowed to be commercially developed."
|
|
"Of course. How does it manage to be fuelless with gas plasma?"
|
|
"Noble gases. They're inert; with their outer electron shells already full,
|
|
they've got no incentive to hook up with other atoms. So they aren't being
|
|
burned or broken down, just induced to expand repeatedly. Put a certain mix
|
|
of noble gases in a sealed cylinder with a piston, spark it and pulse a
|
|
magnetic field around it, and the gases repel each other quite fiercely for an
|
|
instant, then collapse back to their previous state, to be sparked again. The
|
|
energy delivered by the piston's displacement greatly exceeds that required to
|
|
spark the gases, providing a net excess for a self-powering system."
|
|
"Are you saying this thing is a perpetual motion machine?"
|
|
"We're living on the surface of a great big perpetual motion machine and
|
|
composed of godzillions of little tiny ones, so shouldn't they be able to
|
|
exist on our scale as well?"
|
|
"Well, those things'll all wind down eventually, right?"
|
|
"They'll run long enough for whatever you plan on doing with them. Anyhow,
|
|
this design is somewhat less than perpetual; every hundred thousand miles or
|
|
so the gases lose their elasticity and need to be replaced."
|
|
"Sounds pretty tough."
|
|
"Sure beats making your whole lower atmosphere taste like a monoxide
|
|
suicide's garage."
|
|
"Couldn't we retrofit existing car engines to run off this?"
|
|
"Simpler to start from scratch, but maybe. Seal off the valves, throw away
|
|
the carburetor, fuel lines, exhaust manifold and so forth, evacuate the
|
|
cylinders and let in the inert gas mix. It'd become two-stroke, since there's
|
|
nothing for it to suck in or exhaust."
|
|
"So this gas is some combination of helium, neon, argon, krypton and xenon?"
|
|
I was amazed I could still remember their names. "I suppose the exact mixture
|
|
is privileged information."
|
|
"Technically, but it's locatable. The inventor's still alive, last we heard,
|
|
but understandably rather frustrated. It's always disillusioning to work out a
|
|
practical solution for some major problem, only to find that there's someone
|
|
profiting hugely by keeping the problem just the way it is."

For some reason I didn't resist this notion as much as I usually would, even
|
|
though it implied my eventually having to help do something about it. But at
|
|
the moment what I really wanted was details. "Where could I find diagrams and
|
|
such? I'm no engineer but I know a couple. While we're at it, how's that
|
|
gearless transmission work? And what was that hopping trick? I'm assuming
|
|
you'd like others to pick up on these inventions."
|
|
"Naturally. The drive gear consists of long cones pointing in opposite
|
|
directions, with a heavy triangular belt that slides along them, giving a
|
|
smoothly variable ratio between their cross sections. Again, it's not a new
|
|
idea, but it had anti-commercial potential, being much too efficient and
|
|
durable, so no way was any major automaker going to retool for that."
|
|
"I'd think the first to do it would make a fortune. Who wouldn't want one?"
|
|
"You're kidding, right? At first, sure they would, but then that'd be the
|
|
end of selling replacement transmissions, and cost billions in lost engine
|
|
sales and repairs, from the greatly reduced wear. Plus billions more in
|
|
lowered gasoline consumption, due to improved efficiency. As for the rest of
|
|
it, remind me to give you a few patent numbers and such before you get off."
|
|
It occurred to me that during all this I still hadn't asked how far he was
|
|
going. Whatever it was, we'd be arriving a lot sooner than expected.
|
|
There was a billboard, of all things, about four miles ahead of us. Mr.
|
|
Science touched something under one of the video screens and it gave us a zoom
|
|
picture of the road ahead. He reached up and pushed a spot just below the
|
|
visible-light band on the spectrum chart, and a little car-shaped pink spot
|
|
with abright center appeared on the screen at the bottom of the billboard.
|
|
"Nice of 'em to build that feller some shade. Though I doubt he's been there
|
|
long."
|
|
"Well, don't you think you should slow down a bit?"
|
|
He shook his head. "My, aren't you well-conditioned. Don't sweat it; this
|
|
car's not under any local jurisdictions."
|
|
While I considered my response, trying to choose between sounding real law-abiding and getting some clarification, we zipped past the billboard. He
|
|
touched a spot on the radio portion of the spectrum, just as a very dusty
|
|
police car lurched out after us in a cloud of gravel.
|
|
"Got a live one, Charlie", buzzed a small speaker in the dash. "No plates,
|
|
too fast to get the make. At least one-twenty."
|
|
"Want me to come on out?" A fainter voice, younger.
|
|
"May need you for a roadblock, so stand by. Let's see if this new engine is
|
|
as good as Clyde says."
|
|
We were already nearly a mile past him but now we could hear a faint siren,
|
|
slowly getting louder. We slowed down slightly, a move which sort of seemed at
|
|
cross-purposes with rocketing past a sherriff in the first place. My ever-unpredictable benefactor hit a button under the speaker and said, "Are you
|
|
attempting to get my attention, officer?"
|
|
There was a brief spluttering noise, then a few clenched words. "Smart boy,
|
|
huh? Pull your fancy self over, before I get irritated."
|
|
"That shouldn't be necessary. I can easily answer your questions in this
|
|
manner, without being late for my destination."
|
|
"You think this is open for discussion? Identify yourself."
|
|
"Changesmith. Or CS, whichever. Who's this?"
|
|
"Officer Harry Scrotum. You have about five seconds to pull off my highway."
|
|
"I see", said CS sympathetically. "What seems to be the trouble?"
|
|
"Are you nuts? Reckless endangerment, doing twice the limit, unauthorized
|
|
use of police bands, no plates; hell, I expect your fine'll buy us a whole new
|
|
station. You're even hauling drugs for all I know."
|
|
CS smiled questioningly at me and I shook my head. "Nope", he said. "And no
|
|
one uses them from where I'm from."
|
|
"Drugs?"
|
|
"License plates."
|
|
There was a strained silence. He evidently was not up for pursuing the
|
|
implications of that. We were now less than a quarter mile ahead of the
|
|
sherriff's car, which was still creeping closer, apparently at its top speed.
|
|
Changesmith added helpfully, "If our velocity is causing concern, be
|
|
reassured that this vehicle is crash-proof and does not threaten the safety of
|
|
local traffic, should there happen to be any."
|
|
There was a heavy sigh. "Charlie, get that block up, now. Don't use any
|
|
working vehicles; drag over some clunkers from Philo's lot.
|
|
"And as for you, snakebrain, consider yourself warned. This is your last
|
|
chance to pull over in one piece."
|
|
"Sorry to disturb tour programming, but it's a mistake to assume that
|
|
everything that moves through your area is subject to your rules and
|
|
limitations."
|
|
"That's it, pal, your detah wish is granted."
|
|
A sudden shimmy fro the left hind wheel was followed by the faint sound of
|
|
two gunshots. Changesmith touched a panel on the dash and a small sign lit up
|
|
that said GUNJAMMER, then he accelerated us a bit. The shimmy grew more
|
|
pronounced, then there was a loud clank and it stopped entirely.
|
|
No flat tire, and no more gunfire that I could hear. I looked back to see a
|
|
pistol being violently shaken out the cop's window, accompanied by some
|
|
general-purpose curses coming over the speaker.
|
|
CS said, "Sorry, but we couldn't chance a ricochet hitting someone in your
|
|
town up ahead", and switched off the speaker.
|
|
"What'd you do?" I asked.
|
|
"Ever hear of a subject known as sonochemistry? Production of chemical
|
|
changes with sound waves? This is related; we're broadcasting a simulation of
|
|
the wave pattern that occurs when water blocks the oxidizing spaces in
|
|
gunpowder. Since matter is junior to energy, many effects can be induced on
|
|
the physical level simply by emitting the kinds of vibrations which accompany
|
|
and direct them."
|
|
"Now that I like. How wide an area is affected?"
|
|
"The range varies with the power and circuit design. At the moment, no one
|
|
can shoot anybody within about twelve miles of us."
|
|
"Well, all right! Does it interfere at all with organic oxidation?"
|
|
"Good question, but no; cellular processes are all much less explosive.
|
|
Different frequencies altogether."
|
|
"Couldn't someone just mass-produce these things, hide them all over the
|
|
world, and stop wars and murders once and for all?"
|
|
"With enough time and materials, yes. Appealing idea, isn't it? Like taking
|
|
matches away from children."
|
|
I thought about it. "On the other hand, I suppose the more extreme gun
|
|
lovers would all come after you with crossbows, until it sunk in that now
|
|
they'd be protected as well. You'd have to be pretty discreet."
|
|
He zoomed the picture on the screen a bit more, and the rusty town became
|
|
quite visible, complete with roadblock. The crew that was pushing it together
|
|
seemed to be engaged in a lively argument with some old desert rat over one of
|
|
the cars they'd included.
|
|
CS chuckled and switched the speaker back on. "How's your engine holding
|
|
up?"
|
|
"Oh, so you're back, eh? I see we can add Giving False Names to the list of
|
|
charges."
|
|
"Not at all. </p></xml> |
