Deep Truth

Igniting the Memory Of Our Origin, History, Destiny and Fate

A new world is emerging before our eyes. At the same time, the unsustainable world of the past struggles to continue. Both worlds reflect the beliefs that made them possible. Both worlds still exist—but only for now.

From the global crises of collapsing economies and the march toward world war to the deeply personal beliefs surrounding climate, abortion, society and family, the issues that divide us are clear reflections of the way we’ve been taught to think about ourselves and our world. The fierce nature of our divisions is also a clear indication that we need new ways to think of our most cherished relationships.

New discoveries regarding our origin, our past, and the most deeply held truths of our existence give us reasons to rethink the traditional beliefs that define our world and our lives—beliefs that stem from the false assumptions of an incomplete and outdated science. When we do, the solutions to life’s challenges become obvious and the choices become clear.

This program is dedicated to sharing the scientific discoveries that have yet to show up in mainstream classrooms, textbooks and media, yet nonetheless hold the key to the new human story of our origin, history, destiny and fate.

The new shift in thinking is the gateway to human transformation. And because of the sheer number of people involved in this shift, and the growing magnitude of the crises that are driving us to change the way we think, we are standing on the threshold of human transformation at a level unlike anything ever before known on Earth. ~ Gregg Braden

INSTITUTIONAL CHANGE

Americans’ Diminishing Trust in Their Institutions – Governing, September 11, 2022

The last half century has been a period of great disillusionment. In the 1950s the American people overwhelmingly trusted their government, their president, news sources, educational systems, and basic American institutions from the Justice Department to the Department of Defense. Today the American people are largely disaffected and cynical about those same institutions. A recent NBC News poll indicated that 74 percent of the American people believe the country is headed in the wrong direction. According to Gallup, the American people’s general confidence in their national institutions is at an all-time low, averaging 27 percent, down from just under 50 percent in 1979. More here.

THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION OF ALL TIME: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix – Caitlin Johnstone, August 13, 2023

The 2024 presidential election will be THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION OF ALL TIME, because if Americans don’t make the correct choice between the two candidates something terrible might happen to their country. The US might even turn into an abusive totalitarian dystopia where everyone’s mind is controlled by propaganda engineered to shape them into unthinking gear-turners for a globe-spanning empire.

Thinning the Ranks – Tablet, October 1, 2023

Under pressure from Republicans in Congress, the Defense Department announced at the start of this year that it would no longer require American service members to be vaccinated against COVID-19.

The policy change faced fierce resistance from the military’s top brass, including Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin. In a memo sent in January repealing the requirement for soldiers to be vaccinated, Secretary Austin continued to credit the vaccine with “the many lives we saved … and the high level of readiness we have maintained.” More here.

CDC Data Shows Mortality Up a Whopping 45% in 0-24 Age Group Since COVID Vax Rollout – Need To Know, August 14, 2023

Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows that babies, toddlers, teenagers, and young adults up to 24 years old are dying at 45% above historical levels since the COVID vaccines were introduced. When accounting for the fact that 39% of this young age group actually received the COVID injection, the figures extrapolate to 115% all-cause mortality among the vaccinated only, according to Twitter user Ethical Skeptic. Top insurance research analyst Josh Stirling claimed in February to discover with CDC data a 7% aggregate mortality increase for each COVID vaccine dose received. Read more here.

COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine Injury Treatment: Curcumin (Turmeric) Blocks Spike Protein (Combine It with Bromelain), Treats Myocarditis, Has Anti-inflammatory, Anti-aging and Anti-Cancer Properties! – Global Research, 12 August, 2023

Curcumin (diferuloylmethane), is a main bioactive polyphenolic compound that is extracted from the Curcuma longa (Tumeric) rhizomes, which belongs to Ginger family and is broadly cultivated in Southeast Asia and India.

Curcumin is a yellowish compound, which has been used as a food additive, dietary spice, and herbal remedy. Several investigations have revealed that curcumin possesses potent biochemical and biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, anti-bacterial antioxidant, and anti-cancer activities. In traditional herbal medicine, curcumin is used to improve the immune system and as a treatment for various respiratory disorders like allergy and asthma. Curcumin has also been traditionally used for the treatment of numerous diseases including ulcers, dysentery, jaundice, upset stomach, arthritis, acne, wounds, and eye and skin infections.

Baffled Scientists Detect Massive Unexplained Radiation From the Sun, Study Reports – Vice, August 7, 2023

Scientists have captured the most energetic radiation ever detected from our Sun, an unexplained discovery that challenges models of our star’s inner workings, reports a new study.

Astronomers witnessed our star emitting gamma rays, the highest-energy form of light, that are one trillion times more intense than the visible sunshine we experience here on Earth. This constant gamma-ray flux—which does not pose a threat to life on our planet—is far brighter than expected based on models of the Sun’s behavior, raising new questions about the mechanisms that are fueling the radiant glow.

Seniors Now The “Fastest-Growing Group” of Homeless People – Natural News, June 6, 2023

More seniors are flocking to homeless shelters that are not equipped to care for them. According to the most recent reliable federal count available, almost 25 percent of a million people aged 55 or older are deemed by the government to have been homeless in the U.S. during at least part of 2019.

They represent a specific vulnerable segment of the 70 million Americans from the baby boom generation, the youngest of whom turn 59 this 2023. Advocates for the homeless in many big cities have observed an alarming spike in the number of elderly homeless with unique health and housing needs. Read more here.

The Professor Trying To Protect Our Private Thoughts From Technology – The Guardian, March 26, 2023

Private thoughts may not be private for much longer, heralding a nightmarish world where political views, thoughts, stray obsessions and feelings could be interrogated and punished all thanks to advances in neurotechnology. Or at least that is what one of the world’s leading legal ethicists of neuroscience believes.

Advances in hacking and tracking thoughts, with Orwellian fears of mind control running just below the surface, is the subject of Farahany’s scholarship alongside urgent calls for legislative guarantees to thought privacy, including freedoms from “cognitive fingerprinting”, that lie within an area of ethics broadly termed “cognitive liberty”.

What NASA and The European Space Agency Are Admitting But The Media Are Failing To Report About Our Current Heat Wave – American Thinker, July 31, 2023

The current heat wave is being relentlessly blamed on increasing levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, but there is a much more plausible explanation, one that is virtually endorsed by two of the world’s leading scientific organizations. It turns out that levels of water vapor in the atmosphere have dramatically increased over the last year and a half, and water vapor is well recognized as a greenhouse gas, whose heightened presence leads to higher temperatures, a mechanism that dwarfs any effect CO2 may have.

There’s Something Weird Going on With the Sun – The Byte, August 7, 2023

Over the last couple of months, furious storms have rocked the Sun’s surface, sending out powerful solar flares and bursts of charged plasma that can even cause havoc here on Earth, almost 100 million miles away.

Current observations, in fact, suggest we could see a solar maximum as early as 2024. In other words, the Sun and the powerful solar winds it shoots out way can still surprise us, defying our best forecasts and predictions. Read more here.

Fire! Fire! Fire! … But Wait a Moment… – Global Research, August 7, 2023

The would be masters of totalitarian control have turned-up the heat in a calculated push to make sure responsibility for the bush and forest fires that have broken-out in the Mediterranean during the recent heatwave, are squarely blamed on ‘global warming’. There has barely been a day during July when the ‘horror’ of these events hasn’t occupied the headlines of the UK mainstream press and other such top-down compliant media outlets.

The horror is no doubt very real where fires have got out of control, putting lives and property under direct threat – and we should spare a thought for those afflicted in this way. But the continuous repetition of headlines shouting “Record breaking heat!” “Devastating fires!” “Hell on Earth!” have become suspiciously familiar to those who saw through the Covid fear mongering scams of 2020/2021. An increasingly wary public are no longer so easily seduced by the mind controlling media manipulations employed to enforce public acceptance of the ‘great global warming hoax’. Read more here.

Two Princeton, MIT Scientists Say EPA Climate Regulations Based on a ‘Hoax’ – Epoch Times, August 12, 2023

Two prominent climate scientists have taken on the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) new rules to cut CO2 emissions in electricity generation, arguing in testimony that the regulations “will be disastrous for the country, for no scientifically justifiable reason.” They argued that the claims used by the EPA to justify the new regulations are not based on scientific facts but rather political opinions and speculative models that have consistently proven to be wrong.

America’s Cruel War Policy in Ukraine – Anti War, July 31, 2023

In the early days, the war in Ukraine had not escalated into the dangerous NATO-Russia nightmare that it is today.

The massive amounts of death and destruction was not yet imagined. Though “the news keeps repeating that Putin is targeting civilians,” according to a senior analyst at the Defense Intelligence Agency in March 2022, “there is no evidence that Russia is intentionally doing so.” The analyst said that “almost all of the long-range strikes have been aimed at military targets.” A retired Air Force officer, working with a “large military contractor advising the Pentagon” added that “the Russian military has actually been showing restraint in its long-range attacks.” More here.

Myth of Ancient Nuclear War in India – Mystery of India – August 14, 2023

Is man on the threshold of a new world or merely stuck on a circular treadmill repeating the doomed lessons from history which he never seems to learn? A growing number of scholars believe the world’s macabre fascination with nuclear war is just the latest repeat in a series of blunders human technology seems obsessed with repeating.

Ancient tales speak of flying . Vimanas were real vehicles and the origin of the ‘Aeroplanes.’ Great wars were described in early religious texts. Weapons could literally level the land like a moving force field. In ancient India, we find words for certain measurements of length; one was the distance of light-years and one was the length of an atom. Only a society that possessed nuclear energy would have the need for such words. More here.

TRENDS OF GOVERNANCE

“Love and Politics.” – The Scrum, August 1, 2023

One of the more significant and consequential differences between Obama and Trump had nothing to do with policy. Instead, it was the style of each man’s public persona and presentation. Obama was handsome, articulate, and intellectually sophisticated—the agreeable face of U.S. empire. Trump, by contrast, was an aesthetic offense, especially to the liberal establishment. Fat, vulgar, and rude, Trump was the ugly face of an America liberals wanted to pretend did not exist—a mirror into which they did not want to look. In actual substance—and this will land with a shock for many liberals, but I hold to the judgment—there was little difference between the two administrations. Both advanced the interests of U.S. empire and global military dominance. More here.

All the News the CIA Sees Fit to Print – Global Research, October 9, 2023

John Kiriakou looked up from his desk at CIA headquarters and was stunned to see The Washington Post investigative reporter, Bob Woodward, walking through the secure area without an agency escort. On another occasion, Kiriakou—who rose at the CIA to become executive assistant to the deputy in charge of operations, the spy agency’s dark activities—saw CNN host Wolf Blitzer wandering unattended through the same area, despite the CIA’s ban on communicating with the media.

“We like to think there’s a Chinese wall between the CIA, especially senior CIA officials, and the American media,” Kiriakou recently told the London Real podcast. “In fact, they’re in bed together.” More here.

The 14th Amendment’s Requirement of Equality Under Law Is a Dead Letter Constitutional Guarantee – IPE, August 13, 2023

I explained and documented in my 1995 book, The New Color Line, that the EEOC had created in defiance of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 14th Amendment a two-tier legal system in which “preferred minorities” enjoyed rights superior to those of white American citizens to university admissions, employment, and promotion. Less qualified blacks according to the objective admission scores can be admitted at the exclusion of more qualified whites, and less qualified blacks can be hired and promoted at the expense of more qualified whites. I have stressed for many years that the failure of the courts to defend the 14th Amendment and the statutory language of the 1964 Civil Rights Act was resulting in the institutionalization of a status-based legal system totally at odds with the US Constitution.

Israel Expanded An Apartheid Law Last Week. No One iIs Talking About It – Mondoweiss, July 31, 2023

Israel broadened a racist law that allows communities to exclude non-Jews based on “social and cultural cohesion.” Whereas judicial overhaul laws have caused an uproar, this passed with hardly any opposition.

There has been a lot of noise from the Israeli protests concerning the judicial overhaul. The recent central law that was passed last week reduced the supreme court’s ability to overturn government policy, the so-called “reasonableness law.” But another law also passed just a day later — an amendment to a core apartheid law known as the “Village Committees Law” of 2010, more officially named the Cooperative Societies Ordinance. It passed without opposition, and was hardly noticed. Read more here.

US Professor: Anti-China Paranoia Rising on US Campuses – China Daily, August 8, 2023

United States-based scholar Denis Simon recently wrote to China Daily to say he has resigned from the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill because of an insurmountable philosophical gap between him and the academic community regarding engagement with China.

“The US universities are distancing themselves from China because we’ve entered this new downward spiral in US-China relations. US university leaders are fearful that if they get too close to China, that the federal government will worry about so-called national security issues and related problems and they will take away funding from other areas in the university,” he said.

Palestine and the Politics of Guilt by Association – Substack, August 15, 2023

Every day I get letters asking me why I have remained an adviser to Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., when he holds such extreme, one-sided views on Israel and Palestine.

Some think that, perhaps, because I am Jewish I am unwilling to see that Israel is reenacting a dilute version of its people’s own historical trauma. Others know that I am well aware of the oppression of the Palestinians, and think I have simply compromised my integrity. Read more here.

Do People Change? “The U.S.A. Is Snapping. It Is No Longer Possible To Remain a Normal Person in Dark Times Like These…” – Global Research, August 13, 2023

Because there is so much personal anguish, unhappiness, and human mental and physical suffering in the world, many people often wonder how they might personally change to find happiness, contentment, or some elusive something. Or even how to change other people, as if that arrogant illusion could ever work. This question of significant personal change is usually couched within the context of narrow psychological analyses. This is very common and is a habit of mind that grows stronger over the years. People are reduced to their family upbringings and their personal relationships, while the social history they have lived through is dismissed as irrelevant.

The United States is very much a psychological society. Sociological and historical analyses are considered insignificant to people’s identities. It’s as if economics, politics, culture, and propaganda are beside the point. Read more here.

UFOs Are The Story Of The Century — Wake Up, America! – The Hill, August 2, 2023

At the hearing of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee’s Subcommittee on National Security, the Border, and Foreign Affairs on unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), also known as UFOs, three witnesses provided extraordinary testimony on their observations of aerial craft with performance characteristics far beyond those of modern aircraft, as well as knowledge of a hidden U.S. government crash retrieval program of such vehicles and their nonhuman operators.

The witnesses were former officers in the U.S. military with stellar service records. Their message to Congress was that we are not alone, we possess technology unlike anything available in the public or private sectors, and the U.S. government has covered up this earth-shattering information for decades. So how has our society responded? Read more here.

Aliens Will Reveal Themselves in 2027, Claims Former CIA Agent – Yahoo, August 9, 2023

After leaving the intelligence community, Ramirez has enjoyed a second career as a UFO aficionado, making the rounds of the podcast circuit to tell the world what he allegedly knows. In February 2023, he gave an interview on Podcast UFO, during which he warned of an oncoming alien revelation in 2027.

According to Ramirez, the recent disclosures, whistleblowers, and underwater discoveries are all part of an intentional narrative to prepare the population for the day the aliens show up; a day he says is only a few years away. Here’s what Ramirez had to say, with minor edits for clarity. Read more here.

A Space Hotel Could Open as Soon as 2025 – Architecture & Design, October 2022

If the idea of a space hotel sounds enticing, then mark your calendars for 2025. Orbital Assembly, a company that specializes in designing and constructing space stations, is planning to open luxury accommodations in space by that time. So those of us making grand post-pandemic travel plans should start considering the final frontier as a destination. With two space hotels in the works—Voyager Station and a more recently announced Pioneer Station—anyone’s next R&R could take place among the stars.

Both space hotels would accommodate more than just intergalactic travelers, but would also be suitable for business, manufacturing, and research. Voyager Station, Orbital Assembly’s first proposed space hotel, was originally designed to accommodate 280 guests, though plans have updated that number to 400. The company has also recently shared designs for a smaller station called Pioneer Station, which would house significantly less people—only 28 at a time—but could be operational as soon as 2025.

PROVOCATIVE IDEAS

Retired Chinese Surgeon Recounts Being Forced to HARVEST ORGANS From People Who Were STILL ALIVE – Natural News, August 14, 2023

A Chinese doctor has come forward publicly to discuss the way the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) turns surgeons into executioners who harvest organs, sometimes from people who are still alive, to prop up the country’s organ harvesting industry. Dr, Zheng Zhi, previously a resident physician at one of China’s largest military hospitals, recently discussed how he witnessed one man’s kidneys and eyes being harvested for transplant while he was still alive back in 1994.

Zheng recounted that he stepped into a van with five other surgeons and nurses and was guarded by armed soldiers. These guards brought in a man whose limbs were tightly bound with ropes. Zheng remarked that the man was likely no more than 18 years old. He and the other surgeons were told right before he was brought in that the man’s organs were “healthy, fresh.” More here.
