Thanks for visiting my blog!
I am a devout atheist and a world citizen, one who has a background as a teacher, journalist and author. In my degree (gained with Distinction), my majors were psychology and economics but I also did courses in sociology, philosophy and English.
I care deeply about those who are suffering at the hands of conscienceless warmongers, psychos, despotic rulers, insatiable money-grubbers and religious charlatans.
I believe that our genetic flaws combined with the typical human mindset, one formed by a combination of bad social programming, mass indoctrination and faulty education, are mankind’s biggest problem.
This mindset MUST be changed before man, nature’s most dangerous creation, destroys himself. To do that requires a Socratic examination of all the things we have learned so we can reject everything that is false, that is counterproductive, that causes harm to others and ourselves!
Truth, unless nuclear war intervenes, will set us free and eventually create a world that is peaceful, one that is based on cooperation, sharing, equality and reality.
Like you, I hope I live to see such a world but, given the current chaos everywhere, I’m not holding my breath!
I enjoyed reading your posts, and I feel much the same as to the future direction mankind is headed. The best chance to stop these predators and their conspirators is to get humanity to wake up, and resist. I write articles to try and self-empower people to take their consciousness into their own hands, and out of the hands of the government controlled media’s hands. Anyways, I appreciate your posts.

Thanks for dropping by, John, and leaving a supportive comment. I do my best to expose the evildoers but some of them are very clever at hiding their real intentions.
Cheers.

How very refreshing to see a genuine THINKING set of words about the current “status” of the planet’s inhabitants and the horrors they have wrought. Thank you for an exellent site /blog and such truthful words of wisdom that seem to escape the world leaders.(who’s motives are less than exemplary.

Chief Trident missile engineer Bob Aldridge-www.plrc.org-resigned because the Pentagon aims to achieve disarming first strike capability and it´s suicidal and wrote three books on the topic and recently America in Peril, Hope Publishing.
He wrote to me on the missiles in Bulgaria, Romania and Poland: “Whether they are on ships or land, they are still a necessary component for an unanswerable first strike.” To take out the Russian second strike force, i.e. the missiles surviving First Strike with Minuteman-3 and Trident-2. They have an accuracy of 30 meters or less, enough to destroy a missile silo. The US Navy can track and destroy all enemy submarines simultaneously according to Bob Aldridge. The missiles in the three countries lead to Launch On Warning, probably by 2014 and Nuclear War by mistake because the Pentagon aims to achieve a Disarming First Strike Capability, maybe “only” for Blackmail. A war with Iran has ONE good element: How will the Pentagon then justify the missiles in Bulgaria, Romania and Poland ? A nuclear missile threat from North Korea ? The Russians aren´t idiots. They´ll deploy Launch On Warning – and we´ll commit suicide because of the bloody fools in the Pentagon. MAD is not enough – they go for NUTS-Nuclear Use Target Selection-Nuclear Supremacy-First Strike Capability. That´s the reason GPS-formerly NAVSTAR-was developed – to get a CEP of 30 meters or less for Minuteman-3 and Trident-2. You don´t need that to hit a city. General Harbottle told me: “They are bloody fools in the Pentagon because they think they can make a first strike without nuclear winter attacking missile silos by the design of the warheads on Minuteman-3 and the D5 on Trident-2.” “They are all bloody fools in the Pentagon”, said the good general.

I agree strongly with your last sentence. Claus! Thanks for the comment.

My surgeon in Tuluá, Colombia told me his theory: Very, very long ago (maybe 3 billion years ago) all-out war took place Moon-Mars and the few survivors from both places settled here. A 600-million-years-old metal vase and a 400-million-years-old gold chain among other things-and The Piri Reis Map-have been found, so maybe we blow it all up every now and then and some few thousand survive in the mountains and in 100,000 or a million years everything is forgotten. Too stupid and too crazy. The 12th Iman, Christ and Messiah could well wait some 4 billion years in returning ! All hail to Melchizedek !

Scott and Ken, it seems that when I changed my blog over to a new format, the email notifications didn’t come across. My apologies for that.
My son is the blog technical expert and as soon as he comes home for Xmas, I’ll get him on the job. Hopefully he can fix it! Computers leave me bewildered!

I have been reading your comments on line for serveral months now, but this is the first time that I have visited your site and read your profile.
I think that you are doing very good work and wish you well in it’s endeaver.
I’m just a retired local labor leader with only a high school education, but in my old age I have come to realize that my political instincts are pretty damn good. We see the world the same. You and I share a cynicism that is appropriate for these times. IMHO, people who are not angry about the state of the world now are immoral. Without outrage, injustice is allowed to fester and grow. I am sure that you too have been mocked as “an angry person” ….as if that is a failing.
But, for the first time in many dark years, I am allowing the quickening of hope in my heart when I see the world wide movement of young people and workers taking to the streets. It is a start. I may not see it’s end, but I want to remain hopeful in my final years that there is a better world coming for, if not our children, our grandchildren.
Be well, David. Keep up the good work.

HI David,
I feel exactly the same way you do about people that need our help and support. Especially those ravaged in war torn countries by a handful of bloodthristy zionists that are trying to dominate the world. Its so distressing to know that people are commiting senseless crimes against humanity but cannot do anything to defend themselves at die humiliating deaths. I as an american, cannot and will not allow that to happen. But what are we do too? I am a college student, and do not know where to start?

Well, the OWS movement is a good starting point, Jasreen. It’s the only movement in the U.S. that seems to be addressing the problems that the leadership of the U.S. are causing for your nation and the world.
Please read the charter of the PEACE movement. It might point you in the right direction.
TAKE CARE!

All of the problems that beset us grow from coercion, which is the essence of harm: doing to others against their will. This includes fraud, theft, property damage, murder, extortion, blackmail, and all other harmful acts with identifiable injured parties. These acts are all aided by, and some strictly dependent on, secrecy.
The development of the full psychic potential of humans in bulk would end the secrecy that supports the evils we suffer from. It would render the evildoers and their helpers social pariahs, even among their families, and the coercive practices that seem to be all the rage in the business “community” would go rapidly out of style.
Certain entities have a vested interest in preventing this, as evidenced by the continued use of fluoride in public water supplies. It is said to encrust the pineal gland, limiting psychic ability, as well as cause cancer, but has only adverse effects on teeth and skeletal structure when taken internally. Gurdieff alluded to the insertion of “the organ kundabuffer” at some time in the distant past, which served to limit human potential.
We could get an easy deliverance if somehow everyone’s pineal gland started ejaculating more appropriate levels of DMT (dimethyltriptamine, the powerful hallucinogen present in ayahuasca). Picture the control freaks demanding to be obeyed while their world appears to be melting all around them, with everyone else just laughing at them. Just a little happy thought for some holiday cheer.
Government is a collective hallucination that gets all its power from the credibility people give it. Research has shown that the government in the US has no lawful standing whatever, and hasn’t since prior to the constitution; it’s strictly de facto, ruling by “necessity” under military codes, and in fact, now, is an offshore corporation without even the flimsiest documentation of its jurisdiction over the states. Waking up to reality is an ongoing process that probably never ends, but these ancient problems we suffer from seem a bit old. When we all see the aura it will.

Thanks for you interesting comment, Bobo. It never ceases to amaze me just how passive most humans are. To label them ‘Sheeple’ is not too far from the truth.
Unfortunately, many of those that can ‘think’ usually spend their lives gathering wealth and/or killing other people.

re: [i]Unfortunately, many of those that can ‘think’ usually spend their lives gathering wealth and/or killing other people[/i]
I beg to differ a bit on this comment. IF one is so focussed on getting rich / gaining wealth……one is NOT really THINKING about the whole picture……let alone analysing it. Those that are killing people for a living, do not THINK……..they just follow orders in a conditioned way that does not allow any introspection or analysis into what they are doing, why they are doing it etc. For that matter , THINKING in the latter group is highly discouraged. as it goes against the brainwashing/ conditioning process they have been subjected to.

Good points, QBV11. Often, killing other people ties in with getting rich. Those who run the oil companies gain financial advantage from Government sponsored terrorism and invasions.
Things are generally interrelated. The scum feed off each other!

Dear David
I wrote to you elsewhere.
May I have your kind permission to print the Puppets image on the cover of a non-profit book of poems in Maltese in a very limited edition of 500 copies (five hundreed copies). The book’s title is Il-Fabbrikant tal-Marjunetti (The |Puppet Maker) and the image for which I am asking permission to print is very appropriate. I thank you in advance and send best regards. Mario Azzopardi (Malta).

Mario, the photograph is not mine so I can’t give you permission to use it. I got the image from Google Images.
If you track it down you may find the person who created it! Good luck.

Thanks for your prompt reply, David. I also saw the puppet picture on Google Images. I have tried to track down the author of the photo but the nearest I could get was your blog! I will keep trying. Anyway, the journey brought me to your writings which I will definitely be following from now on…
Best thoughts and congratulations for your thought provoking arguments.

Stumbled across your blog via New Matilda, David.
Thanks for giving me some more hope.
I need to contact the federal govt about this occupation by US troops in the NT but really not entirely sure what to write that wont end as a rant.
Is there a way to contact you without being published?

Rufus, I can’t reveal my private info otherwise the spooks will pay me a visit. My advice is to just say exactly what you think. Speak from the heart. It’s the only way.

Hi David, I’m Jess DeCristo, a borned again Christian and devoted follower of Jesus. I have to say that ATheist are probably the MOST honest man made religion , for they neitther have taken away or added to the word of God ( The Bible ) , like so called other Christian religions have done , and all you say is ; ” PROOF IT ” ,which in a way is reasonable , except in this case. Let me ask you a question, : DO YOU KNOW WHAT FAITH IS ? Wether you believe it or not, even atheist practice it, here’s just a few examples;
1;- You get on your car , confident anough it won’t brake down on you ( that’s faith ).
2;- You get on the expressway confident you won’t have an accident ( that’s faith ).
3;- You eat them delicious hamburgers, tacos, italian beefs, confident enough you won’t get sick ( that’s faith ).
4;- You cross the street downtown confident enough you won’t get runned over ( That’s faith ).
5;- You sit down on the THRONE when mother nature calls, confident enough there arn’t any spiders behind it ( that’s faith )
So why can’t atheist believe that there IS life after death ? , That there is a God ? ( Jesus went to the cross for everyone , whle we were still sinners ) .That your SALVATION is waiting for you , purchased and paid in full at Golgothe by our Lord & savior.
I like your blog , it’s very honest , I left a comment on your comment on wether Obama was the anti-christ or not, God bless, Jess.

I do not agree that most people are not interested in making a change.
Life in general , especially when one has a young family, is very busy and most people in reality work long hours and come home exhausted.
Then , before the PILL, most people had large families.( 8 times sex in marriage could already lead to 8 children( my mother befriended the Apple family: they had 18 children and maybe not much sex at all!
When one studies history and work hours in the 19th centuries, one understands how hard life was . Since the PILL things have changed!
Gathering wealth was for the born rich in general.
The 8 hour workday is not something of the far past .And for a very low payment one had to work far over 8 hours a day!
Regarding killing other people : it is the rich and powerful who force people to become soldiers and kill when they invade other countries for their own enrichment.Maria

Mr. David Grayling,
I read your blog at the top of your site. I agree that War is not faught for freedom. I agree with some of your solution, but not all. Although religion has been perverted, and used as a war tool against the masses, I must share from personal experience, and logic, that there is a God, and he loves us and wants to change the motivation of our hearts from selfish, prideful, uncaring, waring people to loving each other. There is an intelligent God who created all the laws… for governing our physical world, our social world, our personal lives.
We do not break these laws, but can be broken through disobedience. The challenge is finding the truth. As you have written, we need to be thinkers. But we also need to be truth seekers.
Jesus said, I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. So what does that mean? Religion, is not the answer. But a heart changed, that seeks truth is.
