THOMAS DRAKE — OUT OF PERPLEXITY
From Darkness of the 'Deep State' into the Light of a Perfecting Future
Come along on an extraordinary personal journey and adventure with Thomas Drake through the time-space continuum and ride the waves of discovery as you peer into a Pandora’s Box full of furies and the abyss and enter a glimpse of a world tomorrow beyond the darkness and transition of life as we know it.
He also provides an overview of the time of deep troubles and travails ahead of us on Earth when a fauxtopia of accelerated technocracy and a new world order turn dystopic, imperiling the very future of our precious blue dot of a planet and the place in space we call home.
What will the future really bring? Can we ask the future to reveal itself? What will the future say? Beyond the event horizon facing humanity, engage in a dynamic conversation of restoration and renewal from the emergent future, past the shadowlands of sorrow and despair, where the glorious hope of a whole new future awaits us.
Mr. Drake will also discuss his own origin story, near death experiences as well as tales and tells from the ‘deep state’ as the government attempted to turn him from truth teller into a traitor as he faced down many decades in prison. In addition, he will also share his extraordinary, non-linear experiences and premonitions from both the dream and awake state by accessing the quantum space of conscious awareness and a magical, multi-spectral, multi-dimensional fractal-patterned future revealing itself and its Self, and our participation in a far greater and better future. After all, maybe asking the right questions expands our understanding and illuminates the path to a new future before us.
Join us, July 19, either in person or via livestream! All tickets include access to the replay for six months following the original presentation.

Is this the best way to govern ourselves,
putting ourselves under mass surveillance?
That's a control regime.
I don't care what they call it.

Thomas Drake is a former senior executive at the National Security Agency. While there he blew the whistle on 9/11 intelligence failures, massive multi-billion fraud, waste and abuse as well as a secret mass surveillance regime authorized by President Bush that violated the Constitution. The latter resulted in Mr. Drake indicted under the draconian Espionage Act facing decades in prison. He went free in a plea deal.
Prior to NSA he was a consultant/contractor and boutique dot com principal in management and information technology. He also served as an enlisted aircrew member in the Air Force, as a commissioned intelligence officer in the Navy across some 15 years and a short stint as an intelligence analyst at the CIA. He has dedicated the rest of his life defending our precious inalienable rights that include life, liberty, the pursuit of all things good in humanity against the abuse of pathological power, social control and the active and passive sides of evil.
