There is a problem with the food delivery to nations with political unrest. The United States, UN and various humanitarian groups with good intentions bring in food for impoverished people during that hour of need, however it is often met by the worst of the humanity. Often rebel forces steal the food to feed themselves, sell it or use it to enslave rape and control. Some of the stories of a container load of food, large pallet parachute food drop or truck load coming in and include: being met by a frenzy of hungry people, being met with rebels with machine guns or even brutality towards the weak in the dividing up of the food sources. These events obviously defeat the purpose and cause additional and unintended consequences and chaos.
There is a simplistic answer for this problem. The answer is to drop from the air the food so it lands on the ground spread out over a few miles at a distance of five to ten meters between packages of food, which can last one person for three days. By calculating the speed of the aircraft, lowering the wake turbulence (swept wing aircraft) and wing tip vortices this can be done, from a safe altitude of 1000 AGL. Limiting wake turbulence idea for Swept Wing Aircraft food drops is also possible.
We know one of the most common aircraft used in humanitarian aid is the C-130. There are pictures UN C-130s used for this purpose online you can search and see what we are talking about here. The United States has also made many drops using this aircraft.
In these small packages will be food high in protein and supplementally balanced to sustain humans with their needs and vitamins. Each package is made up of a Balloon, with the food inside. The food is inserted in the un-inflated balloon much like the Mickey Mouse inside of the balloons you get at Disney World. In the C-130 are four tubes, which use ram air to fill the balloons as they are dropped into the tube from a chute with a funnel on top. Each un-inflated package is dropped into the tube at a rate of 300 per second. The aircraft is slowed to approximately 110-120 knots. As the packages hit the tube they are inflated and blown out the back of the aircraft at the same rate. Once inflated a flap on the inside prevents the air from escaping. Each package has a total weight of about 2 lbs.
As the packages fall the air pressure underneath the inflated package would look something like a Beach Ball, which is pushed on with your hand as it sits on the ground. Somewhat flat on the bottom side as it falls, slowing it's decent to the intended people. The beach balls are not too thick, but thick enough to be used for later use as other things; sacks for storage or hats from rain storms, rain gear.
This idea of using B4's Beach Ball Balloon Bags can be used for other things such as dropping antidotes for biological problems, potassium iodide for dirty bombs or dropping in FEMA supplies to disaster areas, which have been cut off by roads to the victims. Preventing problems with civility during extreme chaos. Such balloons can also be used for search and rescue operations which could contain things other than food, such as space blankets, plastic shovels, tents, mountain climbing equipment, medical supplies, with 2 lbs in each balloon. The balloons could be clear or a special color for easy finding.
The tubes consist of ram air from the relative wind generated by the forward momentum of the aircraft, a B4 injection system on a carefully built conveyor belt capable of 300 units per minute and a widened ejection opening for the balloons.
If a balloon fails for some reason the food in side is still good, it will just get a little splattered, but 2 lbs spread out inside a rubbery substance will not kill anyone on the ground.

5 Ways to Help Your Hometown Soldiers
Employers, supervisors, co-workers and friends can
all help soldiers by relieving concerns about
what's going on at home. Intense training and the
hazards of combat generate high levels of stress,
and a gentle touch from family and friends helps
bring sanity into this environment of constant
crisis.
Here are five easy ways to help reduce the stress
of combat and help win the battle.
1. Cards and Letters
Send handwritten cards and letters on a regular
schedule. There's something very reassuring about
hearing your name announced at mail call and
walking away with a card or letter that you can
read and re-read -- far better than e-mail.
Schedule letter writing, and write often. Don't
expect prompt replies because the fast pace of
combat duty and daily fatigue prevent such a
luxury.
Write about the weather. Tell about business
routines and extraordinary achievements. Give the
town gossip. Keep them up to date on their
favorite television show. Talk about customers
and suppliers. Pass along break room jokes and
news about employees they know.
Your GI friends are hungry for a touch from home -
even if it is in an envelope. Frequent letters
can reduce stress significantly.
2. Phone calls
With today's technology you can talk with soldiers
at war. You can get a pin number for inexpensive
international calling cards on web sites such as
http://www.noblecom.com. Call your soldier friends in
Afghanistan or Iraq for about thirty cents a
minute. Calls to some countries cost as little as
a penny a minute.
Not every soldier has access to a phone. Ask if
they can get to a land line or cell phone, and ask
about the time difference. They'll tell you the
best time to call.
No matter how dangerous the work, a voice of a
good friend alleviates stress. Your calls will be
remembered for years.
3. Gifts and packages
The gifts you send aren't as important as the
frequency. Your soldiers will tell you what they
need, but they might not tell you what they want.
Send packages often. Infantry soldiers cannot
carry a lot of stuff at any given time. They
already have 40-60 pounds of weapons and
ammunition. But send enough goodies for them to
share with buddies on the front line. You might be
the only friend who sends enough for them to share
with GIs who never receive anything from the home
front.
Send favorite foods, snacks, and homemade goodies.
Send a product that's new on the market. Find out
whether they need AA batteries.
When I was an infantry company commander in
Vietnam, my wife once sent a whole case of popcorn
that could be popped over a campfire. After months
of jungle patrols and tasty C-rations, the popcorn
was a touch of home for everyone in the company.
Who would have guessed that popcorn could relieve
stress?
4. Pictures
Take pictures of all company activities, customer
functions, and industry happenings. All of these
things are important when you're away from home.
Send pictures of co-workers and company events.
Include shots of funny things. Instead of
throwing away those goofy faces, put them in an
envelope. These are the people your soldiers know
-- and miss!
If they can't get disposable cameras from the post
exchange, send a couple of the one-use cameras
that cost under ten bucks. Trading pictures helps
you understand their work and the way they live,
and the snapshots help reduce stress for the
troops.
5. News clippings
Stuff newspaper clippings into those envelopes.
GIs want to know what's going on in sports,
politics, Hollywood, and society. They know that
the world continues to turn while their time is
frozen in combat. News clippings help them
remember what it's like in civilized life.
Send industry news and editorials. News about the
war won't damage morale. Seeing war news in print
helps soldiers understand how accurate or how
misguided their efforts are represented. Write
your own notes right on the article. Tell them
what you think about the news. Ask for their
thoughts.
Gather news about their other friends. Knowing
that others continue with daily routines will be
encouraging to those doing the hard work. The
reality of things helps reduce the stress of not
being in touch.
There you have it - five easy ways to stay in
touch and reduce stress for soldier friends.
You'll be a part of the war on terror.

workplace, send e-mail to get a free article about

Silicon Valley
We have all heard about the "Silicon Valley" miracle. Not long ago, Silicon Valley found itself at the centre of the world, a job- and money-making machine fueled by the popularity of the Internet and technological innovation. Those days are a distant memory now. Now, the Center of the World has become a technological Rust Belt.
The streets, once throbbing with energy, are empty and quiet. Empty new buildings stand like bleached mausoleums in the sun with big, indiscreet "AVAILABLE" signs slapped on them. A full 20% of the valley's jobs have been lost since March 2001 and hi-tech jobs continued to be lost as companies downsize or outsource jobs to Asia. No one in the Valley can figure what to do to bring back the golden era.
However, most people not local to the area are unaware of the previous history of this area. The past 200 years have been tragic one of genocide, environmental destruction, greed, trickery, and exploitation. In 1776, at the time of their first contact with the Spanish explorers originally who were looking for gold, Santa Clara Valley was an untouched Eden with maybe 10,000 Ohlone Indians.
By 1830, the peaceful, basket-weaving peoples who had been living there for over 10,000 years had completely disappeared, killed off by epidemics and the mission system. In 1848, the land, originally part of Mexico, became part of United States. Americans, many of whom were failed gold-seekers from the mother lode, started to pour in and acquired Mexican cattle ranches, often through force and trickery. The rich alluvial soil--some of the best in the world-- proved ideal for orchards.
The Valley during the spring was a canopy of white blossoms--"The Valley of Heart's Delight." An orchard of another type grew around the seeds planted by William Hewlett, David Packard, Fred Terman, and other researchers at Stanford University. Today, Hewlett-Packard is one of the world's largest producers of computers and electronic measuring devices and equipment. The names of the branches of the tree are familiar: Stanford Industrial Park, Varian, Apple Computers, Intel, Yahoo, CISCO, Netscape, etc.
Creativity leads to innovation, and innovation leads to prosperity. Prosperity attracts restless, bright, often unscrupulous people, with often troubled and unhappy pasts, from all parts of the world. The old-time farmers sell their farms off for a king's ransom and move. The orchards were bulldozed to make room for subdivisions and industrial parks.
Beneath the high-tech sparkle laid a hidden underbelly of inequality, environmental devastation, and exploitation. A recent study of the Silicon Valley economy found that hourly wages of 75 percent of Silicon Valley workers were actually lower in 1996 than in 1989. Meanwhile, between 1992 and 1997, income for the top 20 percent has increased by 32 percent. The diverse workplace does not necessarily mean equality of opportunity. You see very few Hispanics or blacks in the hi-tech crystal palaces.
Silicon Valley has 29 Superfund sites--toxic sites slated for cleanup by the federal government. This is more than any other area in the country. High-tech manufacturing created 24 of the 29 sites; 18 are tied to the computer chip industry. At one time, the largest mercury mine in the U.S. was located in the New Alma den hills in the back of San Jose. Mercury, which is used to separate silver from base ore, seeps from this 100-year year old open sore and poisons the Guadalupe River and San Francisco Bay. The Hispanic hamlet of Alison lies partly on a landfill created by the dumping of asbestos-lined pipes in the 1950's by the Certainteed Corporation.
Will Silicon Valley ever regain its prosperity? Alternatively, it is like some new Atlantis being destroyed by its greed while its inhabitant scatter to the four winds. No one knows. Maybe, a large no strings attached investment, such as Leland Stanford's bequest that help found Stanford University, would help jump-start the economy. However, maybe, the problems faced by Silicon Valley are those, which cannot be solved by money alone. The entrepreneurial individualism, which has made the unnatural growth of the Valley possible, had, in the process, destroyed the social fabric that holds a society together.
The issues facing Silicon Valley today are social ones--pollution, growing income inequality, ethnic tension, unemployment, high housing costs, and a limited state budget. These problems had always been there, but were ignored and have worsened during the most rapid increase in wealth in history. Maybe, one day, the people of Silicon Valley and California will wake up and have the political will to spend the money needed to fix these problems. However, no one really knows.

Notes on Pakistan
How many of us know exactly how many states there are in pakistan? How many of us know exactly which part of Pakistan are we trying to recapture? I am sure less than 95% of the population in India don't know the answers
to these questions. Yet the hatred for Pakistan is rife. Who created this hatred? We can rightfully say 'The British'.
However why are we still continuing to revel in that? Why don't we take a leaf out of the pages of history and learn from them?
Living in London makes you look at things from a bystander's perpective. The partititon affected a lot of Pakistanisand
Indian punjabis. Most of them migrated to and fro between the two countries while a sizable sum sought asylum in Britain.
Three - fourth of the indian population in Britain are Punjabis and they are termed as British Indians.
The extreme winters in London donot permit people to walk about in their natinal dress, unlike when I was in Bahrain and
the weather was much more compliant and comfort was the order of the day. In london the face is the only betrayel of culture.
The rest of the body are covered with layers of sweaters, boots, gloves etc shielding the body from the freezing
temperatures.
When I meet a Pakistani or an Indian they look the same. I could easily mistake one for the other. What I am trying to
convey through all thisis the message that was long amiss in my education. We both pakistanis and indians are the SAME in
every aspect. Our countries and weather conditions are the same, thereby making our features similar.
In London most pakistanis and indians nurture the same 'kwaish'- to return to their motherland. London is not a land for the
weak hearted or weak skinned. Weather and trials faced here are far more numerous than those we encounter in our native land
where we are cocooned by the security of family, job etc. Also being away from home instills in us the craving to go back.
All these years I assumed my thoughts were unique to me, but no.. they are the same to every Pakistani, Indian etc.
Here Pakistanis and indians walk hand in hand, help each other, celebrate in the birth of each others' offspring, cheer(or jeer) for matches(cricket or football) etc. Here it seems we reunite with the brother we lost.
However do we have to come to another land to realise our folly? Do we have to be a bystander to acknowledge the wrongs of our forefathers?
Yash Chopra's film Veer Zaara- though poorly scripted had a strong message to convey at the end- a message
that I can only assume was lost on my brothers/ sisters back in India, but which was hammered on the rest of us outside.
Is it too late to reflect and teach our children or shall we have them realise the same through experience?
When even the Blacks and Whites have learned to coexist in peace why are we still nursing our grievances, why are we
throwing salt in our forefathers' wounds rather than just letting it heal?

Invisible Slavery System
Invisible puzzles are mechanisms hidden inside products and services you use, and the social/political systems you interact with. They are invisible due to the use of manufactured perception and deniability-tactics. These puzzles are designed to harness everyone's efforts to silently maintain and operate an Invisible Slavery System...
What would happen to the world economy if global problems like terrorism, global warming, pollution, drugs, cancer and AIDS were suddenly solved? These problems harness trillions of dollars per year, both directly and indirectly from the poor, the middle class, and the rich. This money fuels a large portion of our economy and it eventually makes its way to a very few select people, the "very few very powerful".
These "very few very powerful" did not use principles found in your everyday how-to business books. They and their families engineered special techniques that led to their success, and they kept these techniques a family secret for hundreds, maybe thousands of years. The funny thing is these techniques can be looked up quite readily, but they still remain secret to the vast majority because of the combination of a deniability cloak and a perception cloak.
I will now begin to explain my own theory about these secrets, and how they relate to what is really happening in the world today.
First of all, an "invisible puzzle" is just that, a puzzle that is invisible without some special way to view it. As it pertains to my theory, "invisible puzzle" more specifically refers to the deniable lines of function that are hidden inside the products and systems that we interact with. These invisible puzzles are there to control us in very direct tangible ways while shedding off proof of the real purposes behind them.
For example, when the bank processes several checks in one day for a specific customer they now wait to the end of the day and sort them by size, biggest first, smallest last. Many people wait to the last minute to deposit their money, so an unsuspecting customer walks in during the day and deposits the amount to cover the checks, asks for his balance, and breathes a sigh of relief to see that he was in time. The balance according to the deposit slip is in the black. He goes home with the feeling that everything is in order.
However, the checks that were held to the end of the day can be back-posted to a time before the deposit, since that is when they really came in. So the customer's account is then returned to the red prior to his deposit, as the checks that were not reflected before are back-posted. Then these checks get posted in size order instead of chronological order, causing the most possible overdrafts to be generated.
Then as the overdraft fees stack up, the customer's account goes further negative than it would have otherwise, making the deposit ineffective at stopping subsequent overdrafts from the following day's checks. The customer's account spins out of control by potentially hundreds of dollars without his immediate knowledge so that he won't know in time to fix it before the full damage takes place.
The combination of these things cause overdraft income to increase three to four times on average. And that's if he deposited cash. If he deposited a check then the deposit may post three days later (an arbitrary decision on the part of the bank) - and it doesn't matter if it's from a bank across the street. You could have just walked the cash across the street but that makes no difference to the bank. Sure, the bank can make any rule it wants, and the customer is legally at fault for letting his/her account go negative. But then the bank purposely manipulates their paperwork to triple their income from it. And they do it legally.
How? All they had to do to triple their overdraft income was to issue a notice to their customers stating something to the effect: "From this point forward, in an effort to better serve our customers, whenever there are multiple checks to process in the same day we will process the biggest one first, the second biggest one second, and so on, processing the smallest one last. In this way if there are insufficient funds you are more likely to get your most important check through, such as your mortgage or car payment."
This notice makes it impossible for the customer to accuse the bank of manipulating the paperwork for profit. The deniable alternate purpose (manipulation of paperwork to triple overdraft profits) is hidden behind a perception cloak (the statement that the change in calculations is to get your most important check through). As a result, this situation becomes an invisible puzzle.
Invisible puzzles can be used to manipulate, but you can't prove this intent because the stated purpose makes the potentially manipulative purpose deniable.
The interesting thing is, these invisible puzzles can be created through remote control. Every now and again a major world event hits the news, like the "9/11 terrorist attacks". Then millions of people everywhere are glued to the TV full of emotion over the event, waiting to see who is responsible and waiting to see what solution will be presented. Each time this happens no proof will be given for what really happened. That is one of the keys to their technique. This is because of the principle that when the truth is hidden people will then look to some other source for answers, like authority or stereotypes.
At this point perceptions are being engineered for a purpose. The purpose is to mobilize large groups of people into specific actions that create and enforce new invisible puzzles. In the case of the 9/11 terrorist event our security spending was tripled, dozens of new track & identify laws were launched overnight that wouldn't fly previously because of privacy activists, several major legislative acts and antiterrorist treaties were mysteriously completed in a matter of days (hmmm, I would have thought they would need more time than that), and our president declares to the world "any country that is suspected of harboring terrorists will be attacked". Was this a declaration to the world that we intend to deal with terrorists everywhere? Or was this a bully tactic to get other countries to sign our antiterrorist treaties to avoid suspicion of harboring terrorists so that we won't attack them? Another invisible puzzle?
The "terrorist event" was a perception-engineering tactic. It is easy to see that it was rigged, so long as you don't fall for the mind control. Then the antiterrorist treaty was pushed on other countries through a deniable bully tactic ("will attack if suspected of harboring terrorists", therefore better sign that treaty to avoid suspicion). Then the antiterrorist treaties were used as the Trojan Horse to carry a slew of new invisible puzzles into other countries.
This method accomplishes two things. First, it delegates the effort so the controlling entity has less work to do. Second, it cloaks what is really happening. Once this step is successful then honest people in key positions who are just doing their job will generate dozens of new invisible puzzles.
Of course they are doing their jobs while under the influence of the perception game at hand. So without knowing it they will create these new invisible puzzles, which control us through two or more levels of deniability. For example, when Canada signed on with our president's anti-terrorist treaties, they rerouted a major portion of their legal system to make room for the demands of those treaties. Through this process a slew of new invisible puzzles for Canada went into place, with little or no additional effort by those who actually designed them. In other words, the "very few very powerful" can efficiently delegate their work while simultaneously creating multiple levels of deniability - pretty slick if you ask me.
Proof of intent behind these invisible puzzles cannot be found individually (unless they somehow slip up - and in these very rare cases they execute "black ops" to immediately eliminate the evidence). Despite this lack of proof, if you look at how hundreds of these invisible puzzles fit together you will see how we are thoroughly enslaved by them, while channeling power and wealth to the "very few very powerful". Invisible puzzles hide inside just about every system you interact with (laws, computers, commerce, traffic, finance, school, etc.) and they hide inside just about every product and service you buy. Whether by intent or by society's own clumsiness, my website shows how a network of these invisible puzzles form the infrastructure to an Invisible Slavery System. I show how the ISS is responsible for robbing 95% of what we do, through a myriad of seemingly unrelated issues that we are forced to contend with every day. Most people see it differently, because within this delusional perception-engineered-realm, the thought that they are actually slaves just does not make sense to them.
The net effect to living inside an invisible human slave colony is:
· Unending tangible issues that take away your hard earned money
· Severe reduction of your life span through manipulation of key cellular functions, plus the suppression and disabling of the human regenerating cell
· Severe reduction of your health through the consumption of garbage foods that we are taught to need and to like, and through the use of Trojan Horse consumables that carry aneuploidogenic substances
· Severe reduction of your intelligence through programmed psychological walls and triggers, shortened attention spans, altered brain chemistry, and keeping us too busy to ponder and question
· Stagnation of civilization as a whole as a result of the heavy burden and limitations imposed by the ISS
· Unending global issues that are never solved, due to all the lies that distort the truth about them
Why? To amplify and maintain control and profits.
People rarely question themselves, especially their convictions and their emotions, yet that is what's necessary to see the ISS. Our perspectives and emotions have been steered to support it rather than resist it. Our thoughts have been molded to work hard to maintain and operate the ISS, without any knowledge that it even exits. How can something so powerful take so much without our knowing it?
We interact within an environment that sets up the rationale and visualizations that make sense relative to each other, one thing explains the next thing, and so on, resulting in a complete circle of logical reasoning all based on itself, and all in support of a manufactured/manipulated world-view that they planned for our minds. I will show how these perspectives were engineered to get us to support and operate the ISS, and its diabolical web of deniable alternate purpose behind each of our actions. This oppressor is so good at strategy and mind control that he gets us to do his dirty work.
As Einstein once said, "The most important thing is to never stop questioning." And one thing I question is the base line that we tend to use to determine what is healthy, what is a normal life-span, what is the cost of living, what is a crook, what is justice, what is the correct way for a computer to operate, etc. These things have base lines, which stem from what we are used to. So if what we are used to is all messed up, then we simply can't see it - and we call it "normal" instead of "messed up".
When the truth is hidden from view what seems normal is accepted in its place. When we can't see it for ourselves, people in authority and others that we trust fill in the blanks for us. We get used to it, and it becomes "right" for us. And then we believe we did see it for ourselves, when we really didn't. Invisible puzzles are responsible for automatically organizing and triggering this process. It goes beyond manufactured world-views, as entire cultures and religions have been built from these manipulated perspectives. All to profit the "very few very powerful", or whomever it is that took control.
In the end we are handed a delusional realm to focus on while we work hard as slaves to meet the demands of a ruthless oppressor. An oppressor who steals 95% of your effort (through the combination of dozens of systems that you believe you have to interact with), feeds your body garbage that makes you sick (one of the systems for making the ISS profitable), feeds your mind lies (to keep the perception cloak in place), makes you too busy to ponder and question (so that you will continue to fall for the mind control), and having no regard for life kills us off at a young age (so we cannot wise up to the system). As long as we are kept busy and we cooperate fully we may be allowed to live a bit longer, but for the most part slaves are the most useful while they are young, healthy and gullible. After that they are generally slaughtered for profit. (The "slaughter" part is cloaked as something else, like cancer, heart failure or old age, courtesy of the ISS.)
The outdated social/political systems of today are unknowingly the legs and arms of the ISS. Through control, deception, and force, today's political/social systems unknowingly (for the most part) are used by the ISS to regulate, feed and monitor humanity like a herd of cattle, as they are put to work and ultimately slaughtered. In this mode real solutions to the world's problems will never be found.
The ISS controls your perspective, consequently channeling your emotions and perceptions, thereby prompting you to do precisely what the ISS wants you to do. Awareness is key. Real knowledge is key. And "free will thought" is key. However, perspective controls all of it.
Many people have been taught that what is legal is right, and what is not legal is wrong. As if this were an absolute base line for right and wrong. Some will even tie this into their religious convictions, so that it cannot be questioned at all. And some will come up with a "right and wrong" from a specific mix of the two. This is all a matter of brainwashing. As soon as you state something is right or wrong, without thinking it through for yourself from an unbiased perspective, then you are demonstrating how your mind is being controlled.
Many laws in the US had nothing to do with public opinion, and nothing to do with the congressman you voted into office. Many US laws are written in silently and quickly, with as little media coverage as possible. These laws are not "right" by anyone's definition except for those who want to control you. This does not mean all the other laws are ok. They were voted in by people whose perspectives were manufactured for them through mind control.
If you allow a bias of what makes something right or wrong cause you to feel that these laws are right without you yourself figuring out the details, then you are doing yourself and the rest of the world a big disservice. This is the center of the whole problem. Most of the support to the ISS comes from ordinary people who think with these preprogrammed (biased) perspectives. Democracy is designed so that these people - through taxes and voting - support the "system". That makes it very easy for a powerful entity to control the "system" through perception engineering tactics aimed at the normal person. A perception cloak hides the deniable lines of function behind the actions of these normal people, who are working hard on tasks which actually channel power and wealth to the ISS. And that in turn makes it virtually impossible for those who do see what's happening to do anything about it.
Unfortunately, this legal system that many people blindly support and equate to justice is in fact a cloaking device, used to hide the ISS tentacles through deniability mechanisms. The deniability cloak is based in law.
A law based society makes promises it will not keep. Solutions to the world's problems are worked on diligently but the problems are never solved. This is because the ISS uses problems like those to further its agendas.
Drugs, fraud, terrorism, global warming, human rights issues, cancer, AIDS, SARS, and other global issues are like chess pieces, played by the ISS as it maintains its control and its profits. The object is to deniably manufacture or twist a problem so there is no real solution to it in that form WHILE convincing us of the progress of current efforts to solve it AND WHILE convincing us of the continued threat this problem poses for humanity SO THAT we will continuously support the "cause" without actually finding a solution.
The perception cloak manifests false world problems and false solution-paths to real world problems, while the deniability cloak hides the control mechanisms that move into your life as a result. These control mechanisms enslave you while your mind is focused on the perception-engineered purpose for each. A law-based society makes this inevitable because it creates an ideal medium for invisible puzzles to control us. If the "very few very powerful" didn't take advantage of it somebody else would have. Therefore it is also inevitable that a "very few very powerful" ruling class exists. I'm saying that with or without proof, a law-based society inevitably generates an ISS that enslaves us. And this consequently makes it impossible to solve the world's problems.
Therefore real solutions to real world problems must work independently of law.
Did these "very few, very powerful people" design the ISS? Or perhaps some other mastermind? Is there really someone or some group that has nothing better to do than to work out the strategies to manipulate society for their profit? Or is this ISS merely an inadvertent byproduct of normal human civilization during its current very clumsy stages? Which one is it? Is there proof? And is there a solution?
After years of thought about this I came to the realization that the right information technologies would both reveal proof of the ISS to the world, and put an end to it. The technology I'm thinking of would have the same effect on the ISS as turning lights on in a dark room - all the mysteries in that room, the boogie men, the burglars, your kid brother, etc, would become visible. With lights you no longer have to guess. And you can see exactly what causes what, and how.
I'm thinking of technology that would reveal everything of concern to the public, making it visible and comprehensible to the average person. It would automatically obsolete and replace the ISS, accommodating solutions to the real world's problems without the use of deception and force. I see these revolutionary information technologies taking human traits normally considered bad (like greed) and satisfying them through new lines of motivation that naturally favor environmental and humanitarian concerns, individual rights, honesty, accountability and quality.
The natural (unregulated) capabilities of this futuristic technology will interact with the full spectrum of human endeavor, causing all these independent efforts to collectively work towards the good of society, the individual and the environment. Products will be created that last virtually forever, non-polluting energy solutions will be found and implemented, the truth about your water and air will be revealed and comprehensive solutions provided, etc. It will accomplish this through a combination of several key technologies that obsolete and replace most social/political systems of today, while facilitating the real solutions to the real problems.
Our minds are accustomed to thinking in terms of forced control hierarchies in all that we do. In order to make something useful we believe it has to be controlled through force. I call this "poisoned thought". You'll see it in the operation of computer software, the legal system, the home, and virtually everywhere that human thought created something we interact with. I believe that in each of these scenarios a collective effort from unbound freethinking individuals is more suitable. A collective of free thinking individuals who interact as they choose, using these advanced information technologies only when they see an advantage in doing so. A human collective represented by and orchestrated through the information technology, not a collective of selfless minds attached to computers. The free individual is very powerful, and a collective is very powerful. Advanced information systems will make possible never before conceived of benefits, resulting from an interaction between the unbound free thinking individual and a collective intelligence.
Optimal information technology is the real solution to all the world's problems, and it will also help us to escape from the ISS. I envision a technology that automatically generates collective Utilitarian solutions for genuine global issues, while supporting a Libertarian way of life. A technology that facilitates the individual rather than controls the masses. A technology that defends the individual against corruption, oppression and tyranny. A technology that is fair to everyone, protecting both physical and intellectual property without the need for law, and making everything of value to the individual visible to the individual. This new technology promises a future where the average cost of living is below two work hours per day per person. A future where poverty and sickness is almost non-existent, where problems of pollution and global warming are solved, and where war is a thing of the past. Law hierarchies, war machines, politics and track & identify systems will no longer be needed to solve these problems.
The concept of a collective can apply to other types of systems, not just political/social systems. Since poisoned thought has been instilled in us for thousands of years everything we build and do reflects it. This means the products we buy are handicapped by it, and the systems we live by limit us as a result of it. Possibly the most significant effect it has on society is to limit what the human mind is capable of. In my opinion this is why our minds operate in a mostly delusional state, our computers are extremely inefficient and error prone, our society cheats us, we continuously poison our bodies, we serve as delusional slaves (slaves that don't know they're slaves), our leaders take us to war, and our doctors kill us.
Once we cure ourselves of this poisoned thought our minds will then become more aware and more intelligent. Our computers will run thousands of times faster and better, and without the need for a gigantic support industry to keep them running. We will no longer have the need to poison our bodies by eating decayed processed and drugged foods. We will no longer work for a society that robs 95% of what we do. The need for war will disappear. And the entire medical industry will work towards the good of the patient, not rob him blind and kill him (as a result of the invisible puzzles placed in the medical industry by the "very few very powerful" ruling class).
Poisoned thought is involved in every system around you, your work, your computer, your government, and the products you buy - almost all are designed to control you through deniable lines of function. If poisoned thought were removed from these things life would improve 20 times.
This variation to the Libertarian Philosophy depends on future information technologies to work. The design to this futuristic technology is the ultimate puzzle. Once developed it will be the most significant achievement of mankind, past, present, and possibly future. And once it matures, there will be no more invisible puzzles.

What would happen to the world economy if global problems like terrorism, global warming, pollution, drugs, cancer and AIDS were suddenly solved? These problems harness trillions of dollars per year, both directly and indirectly from the poor, the middle class, and the rich. This money fuels a large portion of our economy and it eventually makes its way to a very few select people, the "very few very powerful".
These "very few very powerful" did not use principles found in your everyday how-to business books. They and their families engineered special techniques that led to their success, and they kept these techniques a family secret for hundreds, maybe thousands of years. The funny thing is these techniques can be looked up quite readily, but they still remain secret to the vast majority because of the combination of a deniability cloak and a perception cloak.
I will now begin to explain my own theory about these secrets, and how they relate to what is really happening in the world today.
First of all, an "invisible puzzle" is just that, a puzzle that is invisible without some special way to view it. As it pertains to my theory, "invisible puzzle" more specifically refers to the deniable lines of function that are hidden inside the products and systems that we interact with. These invisible puzzles are there to control us in very direct tangible ways while shedding off proof of the real purposes behind them.
For example, when the bank processes several checks in one day for a specific customer they now wait to the end of the day and sort them by size, biggest first, smallest last. Many people wait to the last minute to deposit their money, so an unsuspecting customer walks in during the day and deposits the amount to cover the checks, asks for his balance, and breathes a sigh of relief to see that he was in time. The balance according to the deposit slip is in the black. He goes home with the feeling that everything is in order.
However, the checks that were held to the end of the day can be back-posted to a time before the deposit, since that is when they really came in. So the customer's account is then returned to the red prior to his deposit, as the checks that were not reflected before are back-posted. Then these checks get posted in size order instead of chronological order, causing the most possible overdrafts to be generated.
Then as the overdraft fees stack up, the customer's account goes further negative than it would have otherwise, making the deposit ineffective at stopping subsequent overdrafts from the following day's checks. The customer's account spins out of control by potentially hundreds of dollars without his immediate knowledge so that he won't know in time to fix it before the full damage takes place.
The combination of these things cause overdraft income to increase three to four times on average. And that's if he deposited cash. If he deposited a check then the deposit may post three days later (an arbitrary decision on the part of the bank) - and it doesn't matter if it's from a bank across the street. You could have just walked the cash across the street but that makes no difference to the bank. Sure, the bank can make any rule it wants, and the customer is legally at fault for letting his/her account go negative. But then the bank purposely manipulates their paperwork to triple their income from it. And they do it legally.
How? All they had to do to triple their overdraft income was to issue a notice to their customers stating something to the effect: "From this point forward, in an effort to better serve our customers, whenever there are multiple checks to process in the same day we will process the biggest one first, the second biggest one second, and so on, processing the smallest one last. In this way if there are insufficient funds you are more likely to get your most important check through, such as your mortgage or car payment."
This notice makes it impossible for the customer to accuse the bank of manipulating the paperwork for profit. The deniable alternate purpose (manipulation of paperwork to triple overdraft profits) is hidden behind a perception cloak (the statement that the change in calculations is to get your most important check through). As a result, this situation becomes an invisible puzzle.
Invisible puzzles can be used to manipulate, but you can't prove this intent because the stated purpose makes the potentially manipulative purpose deniable.
The interesting thing is, these invisible puzzles can be created through remote control. Every now and again a major world event hits the news, like the "9/11 terrorist attacks". Then millions of people everywhere are glued to the TV full of emotion over the event, waiting to see who is responsible and waiting to see what solution will be presented. Each time this happens no proof will be given for what really happened. That is one of the keys to their technique. This is because of the principle that when the truth is hidden people will then look to some other source for answers, like authority or stereotypes.
At this point perceptions are being engineered for a purpose. The purpose is to mobilize large groups of people into specific actions that create and enforce new invisible puzzles. In the case of the 9/11 terrorist event our security spending was tripled, dozens of new track & identify laws were launched overnight that wouldn't fly previously because of privacy activists, several major legislative acts and antiterrorist treaties were mysteriously completed in a matter of days (hmmm, I would have thought they would need more time than that), and our president declares to the world "any country that is suspected of harboring terrorists will be attacked". Was this a declaration to the world that we intend to deal with terrorists everywhere? Or was this a bully tactic to get other countries to sign our antiterrorist treaties to avoid suspicion of harboring terrorists so that we won't attack them? Another invisible puzzle?
The "terrorist event" was a perception-engineering tactic. It is easy to see that it was rigged, so long as you don't fall for the mind control. Then the antiterrorist treaty was pushed on other countries through a deniable bully tactic ("will attack if suspected of harboring terrorists", therefore better sign that treaty to avoid suspicion). Then the antiterrorist treaties were used as the Trojan Horse to carry a slew of new invisible puzzles into other countries.
This method accomplishes two things. First, it delegates the effort so the controlling entity has less work to do. Second, it cloaks what is really happening. Once this step is successful then honest people in key positions who are just doing their job will generate dozens of new invisible puzzles.
Of course they are doing their jobs while under the influence of the perception game at hand. So without knowing it they will create these new invisible puzzles, which control us through two or more levels of deniability. For example, when Canada signed on with our president's anti-terrorist treaties, they rerouted a major portion of their legal system to make room for the demands of those treaties. Through this process a slew of new invisible puzzles for Canada went into place, with little or no additional effort by those who actually designed them. In other words, the "very few very powerful" can efficiently delegate their work while simultaneously creating multiple levels of deniability - pretty slick if you ask me.
Proof of intent behind these invisible puzzles cannot be found individually (unless they somehow slip up - and in these very rare cases they execute "black ops" to immediately eliminate the evidence). Despite this lack of proof, if you look at how hundreds of these invisible puzzles fit together you will see how we are thoroughly enslaved by them, while channeling power and wealth to the "very few very powerful". Invisible puzzles hide inside just about every system you interact with (laws, computers, commerce, traffic, finance, school, etc.) and they hide inside just about every product and service you buy. Whether by intent or by society's own clumsiness, my website shows how a network of these invisible puzzles form the infrastructure to an Invisible Slavery System. I show how the ISS is responsible for robbing 95% of what we do, through a myriad of seemingly unrelated issues that we are forced to contend with every day. Most people see it differently, because within this delusional perception-engineered-realm, the thought that they are actually slaves just does not make sense to them.
The net effect to living inside an invisible human slave colony is:
· Unending tangible issues that take away your hard earned money
· Severe reduction of your life span through manipulation of key cellular functions, plus the suppression and disabling of the human regenerating cell
· Severe reduction of your health through the consumption of garbage foods that we are taught to need and to like, and through the use of Trojan Horse consumables that carry aneuploidogenic substances
· Severe reduction of your intelligence through programmed psychological walls and triggers, shortened attention spans, altered brain chemistry, and keeping us too busy to ponder and question
· Stagnation of civilization as a whole as a result of the heavy burden and limitations imposed by the ISS
· Unending global issues that are never solved, due to all the lies that distort the truth about them
Why? To amplify and maintain control and profits.
People rarely question themselves, especially their convictions and their emotions, yet that is what's necessary to see the ISS. Our perspectives and emotions have been steered to support it rather than resist it. Our thoughts have been molded to work hard to maintain and operate the ISS, without any knowledge that it even exits. How can something so powerful take so much without our knowing it?
We interact within an environment that sets up the rationale and visualizations that make sense relative to each other, one thing explains the next thing, and so on, resulting in a complete circle of logical reasoning all based on itself, and all in support of a manufactured/manipulated world-view that they planned for our minds. I will show how these perspectives were engineered to get us to support and operate the ISS, and its diabolical web of deniable alternate purpose behind each of our actions. This oppressor is so good at strategy and mind control that he gets us to do his dirty work.
As Einstein once said, "The most important thing is to never stop questioning." And one thing I question is the base line that we tend to use to determine what is healthy, what is a normal life-span, what is the cost of living, what is a crook, what is justice, what is the correct way for a computer to operate, etc. These things have base lines, which stem from what we are used to. So if what we are used to is all messed up, then we simply can't see it - and we call it "normal" instead of "messed up".
When the truth is hidden from view what seems normal is accepted in its place. When we can't see it for ourselves, people in authority and others that we trust fill in the blanks for us. We get used to it, and it becomes "right" for us. And then we believe we did see it for ourselves, when we really didn't. Invisible puzzles are responsible for automatically organizing and triggering this process. It goes beyond manufactured world-views, as entire cultures and religions have been built from these manipulated perspectives. All to profit the "very few very powerful", or whomever it is that took control.
In the end we are handed a delusional realm to focus on while we work hard as slaves to meet the demands of a ruthless oppressor. An oppressor who steals 95% of your effort (through the combination of dozens of systems that you believe you have to interact with), feeds your body garbage that makes you sick (one of the systems for making the ISS profitable), feeds your mind lies (to keep the perception cloak in place), makes you too busy to ponder and question (so that you will continue to fall for the mind control), and having no regard for life kills us off at a young age (so we cannot wise up to the system). As long as we are kept busy and we cooperate fully we may be allowed to live a bit longer, but for the most part slaves are the most useful while they are young, healthy and gullible. After that they are generally slaughtered for profit. (The "slaughter" part is cloaked as something else, like cancer, heart failure or old age, courtesy of the ISS.)
The outdated social/political systems of today are unknowingly the legs and arms of the ISS. Through control, deception, and force, today's political/social systems unknowingly (for the most part) are used by the ISS to regulate, feed and monitor humanity like a herd of cattle, as they are put to work and ultimately slaughtered. In this mode real solutions to the world's problems will never be found.
The ISS controls your perspective, consequently channeling your emotions and perceptions, thereby prompting you to do precisely what the ISS wants you to do. Awareness is key. Real knowledge is key. And "free will thought" is key. However, perspective controls all of it.
Many people have been taught that what is legal is right, and what is not legal is wrong. As if this were an absolute base line for right and wrong. Some will even tie this into their religious convictions, so that it cannot be questioned at all. And some will come up with a "right and wrong" from a specific mix of the two. This is all a matter of brainwashing. As soon as you state something is right or wrong, without thinking it through for yourself from an unbiased perspective, then you are demonstrating how your mind is being controlled.
Many laws in the US had nothing to do with public opinion, and nothing to do with the congressman you voted into office.

If you allow a bias of what makes something right or wrong cause you to feel that these laws are right without you yourself figuring out the details, then you are doing yourself and the rest of the world a big disservice. This is the center of the whole problem. Most of the support to the ISS comes from ordinary people who think with these preprogrammed (biased) perspectives. Democracy is designed so that these people - through taxes and voting - support the "system". That makes it very easy for a powerful entity to control the "system" through perception engineering tactics aimed at the normal person. A perception cloak hides the deniable lines of function behind the actions of these normal people, who are working hard on tasks which actually channel power and wealth to the ISS. And that in turn makes it virtually impossible for those who do see what's happening to do anything about it.
Unfortunately, this legal system that many people blindly support and equate to justice is in fact a cloaking device, used to hide the ISS tentacles through deniability mechanisms. The deniability cloak is based in law.
A law based society makes promises it will not keep. Solutions to the world's problems are worked on diligently but the problems are never solved. This is because the ISS uses problems like those to further its agendas.

The perception cloak manifests false world problems and false solution-paths to real world problems, while the deniability cloak hides the control mechanisms that move into your life as a result. These control mechanisms enslave you while your mind is focused on the perception-engineered purpose for each. A law-based society makes this inevitable because it creates an ideal medium for invisible puzzles to control us. If the "very few very powerful" didn't take advantage of it somebody else would have. Therefore it is also inevitable that a "very few very powerful" ruling class exists. I'm saying that with or without proof, a law-based society inevitably generates an ISS that enslaves us. And this consequently makes it impossible to solve the world's problems.
Therefore real solutions to real world problems must work independently of law.
Did these "very few, very powerful people" design the ISS? Or perhaps some other mastermind? Is there really someone or some group that has nothing better to do than to work out the strategies to manipulate society for their profit? Or is this ISS merely an inadvertent byproduct of normal human civilization during its current very clumsy stages? Which one is it? Is there proof? And is there a solution?

The free individual is very powerful, and a collective is very powerful. Advanced information systems will make possible never before conceived of benefits, resulting from an interaction between the unbound free thinking individual and a collective intelligence.
Optimal information technology is the real solution to all the world's problems, and it will also help us to escape from the ISS. I envision a technology that automatically generates collective Utilitarian solutions for genuine global issues, while supporting a Libertarian way of life. A technology that facilitates the individual rather than controls the masses. A technology that defends the individual against corruption, oppression and tyranny. A technology that is fair to everyone, protecting both physical and intellectual property without the need for law, and making everything of value to the individual visible to the individual. This new technology promises a future where the average cost of living is below two work hours per day per person. A future where poverty and sickness is almost non-existent, where problems of pollution and global warming are solved, and where war is a thing of the past. Law hierarchies, war machines, politics and track & identify systems will no longer be needed to solve these problems.
The concept of a collective can apply to other types of systems, not just political/social systems.

Once we cure ourselves of this poisoned thought our minds will then become more aware and more intelligent. Our computers will run thousands of times faster and better, and without the need for a gigantic support industry to keep them running. We will no longer have the need to poison our bodies by eating decayed processed and drugged foods. We will no longer work for a society that robs 95% of what we do. The need for war will disappear. And the entire medical industry will work towards the good of the patient, not rob him blind and kill him (as a result of the invisible puzzles placed in the medical industry by the "very few very powerful" ruling class).
Poisoned thought is involved in every system around you, your work, your computer, your government, and the products you buy - almost all are designed to control you through deniable lines of function. If poisoned thought were removed from these things life would improve 20 times.
This variation to the Libertarian Philosophy depends on future information technologies to work. The design to this futuristic technology is the ultimate puzzle. Once developed it will be the most significant achievement of mankind, past, present, and possibly future. And once it matures, there will be no more invisible puzzles.

9/13
On Thursday, September 13, 2001, I went to facilitate a session with first line supervisors in a company for whom I had been consulting. It was the 6th week of a commitment of 10 weekly sessions.
Most of these supervisors had been promoted from a line position because they were good at their work, mature and smart. I was brought in to teach them better supervisory skills. Management expected them to produce more acceptable results. An earlier survey proved that business objectives and quotas weren't being met, and tardiness and absenteeism were unacceptably high. The company's managers saw this as a crisis and surmised that the first line supervisors weren't skilled enough to promote the company's mission, manage the workers or their work effectively.
The events of two days prior, the Tuesday we will all remember as 9/11, could not be ignored, so my first question to them was, "How is everyone?"
Everyone was all right and in attendance.
My second question was, "How did Tuesday go here at work?" I learned that at the highest level of management, the corporate office in another state, the priority was caring for the staff. They were allowed to take care of themselves and their family's needs first. The company's long distance phone lines were open to anyone to call anywhere in the world to check on their loved ones. Televisions and radios were brought into central common areas and were left on all day. Staff freely came and went between their workspace, the TV areas, the phones or the rest area, at their will.
The staff went into great detail about their families and where they were and what was happening with each of them. They told me how much they appreciated the freedom that management gave them to cope.
I then asked, "With all that autonomy, how much work was done?" They looked at each other, and nodding in agreement, said, "Quotas were met or exceeded."
The supportive reaction of management was out of the ordinary, actually, extraordinary. Staff in this company were always accountable to be in their seats at certain times, they followed rigid rules: no personal phone usage; personal belongings were not allowed in their work areas and on their desks; no calendars with pictures or graphics of any kind, no personal photos; and break and meal times were inflexible. All activities during work hours were normally dictated. There was very little staff self-management occurring in this company.
But in the throes of a dreadful world crisis on 9/11, management changed all the rules. They explained to staff that they had to stay open for business to answer incoming calls from their customers, so they asked their staff to stay and accommodated them in this unusual manner. They treated people respectfully, as responsible adults who were allowed to be accountable for their work while also taking care of themselves. There were numerous distractions from the work that staff were paid to do that day.
And quotas were met or surpassed. The differences were striking.
What part did a country in crisis play in productivity? Were staff just unusually patriotic about American productivity that day? How much was this unusual and unexpected accommodation of staff a contributing factor to the day's business success?
Employees of this company will always remember and be grateful to their company for the fleeting demonstration of support in that time of incredible anguish and fear. But by the end of the 10 weeks that I worked with this group, all the old rules were back in place and the poor outcomes that required calling in a consultant in the first place, existed again. A month later, when our time together was up, no one was surprised or even questioned that quotas weren't being met. I felt like I was in the twilight zone.
This example resolutely confirms that developing and supporting staff to be self-managed has an immediate positive effect on people, thereby creating positive business results. Treating people as if they are doing you a favor by being there, acknowledging their needs and helping to fulfill those, can be good for everyone.
We shouldn't have to wait for a world crisis to have a workplace become a good, safe, healthy and health-full place to be.
