5 Spiritual Boundaries To Push Every Day
BY GOSTICA
1 � How Efficiently You Work
Joyful.
Excited.
Motivated.
What do you think about when you hear the words �work efficiently�?
The path of your dreams?
Another day of drudgery?
You decide which is true.
I choose the path of my dreams.
You have 15 to 17 waking hours per day.
Fill them with as much excitement and motivation as you possibly can.
You do this with the help of 3 rules:
Make It a Learning Experience All work experiences can be learning experiences.
You can learn to master skills.
You can learn to master yourself.
Learn to master both.
Align with Your Dreams Align your learning goals with your biggest
dream.
Find what skills you can learn, and what you can learn about yourself, that will help you
the most in reaching your dreams.
Make It a Flow Experience
Time disappears.
Your hands and your mind move faster than what is reasonably possible.
You feel both inner peace and excitement.
There is just you and the task.
You have felt this way many times before.
You can feel this way while doing anything.
The gateway to flow is intense focus: Goal-directed focus on the edge of your current skill level
2 � How Much Gratitude You Feel
Gratitude is happiness.
Gratitude is a habit.
Happiness is a habit.
If you throw a rock into the air, it falls down again.
If I jump into the air, I fall down again.
I am a rock.
Who cares about logic?
Happiness is at least 50% habit.
That is why it is so important to push your boundaries for gratitude every day.
3 � How Good You Make Others Feel
�Man is by nature a social animal.� � Aristotle
Are you waiting for others to make you happy?
You fool!
Make other�s happy and you will see your own happiness shine back at you.
4 � Your Level of Unconditional Self-Love
When do you allow yourself to be happy?
How high have you set the bar?
Fuck the bar!
You are always worthy of self-love.
Your love for yourself should be like a large sun.
Shining brightly for billions of years and ending in a supernova.
Your conditions for self-love is messing you up.
You deny parts of yourself.
You distort reality.
Unconditional self-love is a decision you make in every moment.
Choose to love yourself now.
There is no later.
5 � Your Presence in This Everlasting Moment
Presence is everything.
Presence is now.
You are flowing at work.
You feel gratitude.
You see other people and satisfy their needs.
You love yourself with burning intensity.

ANATOMY OF A FALSE FLAG ATTACK IN THE DIGITAL AGE - Duration: 6:29.
ANATOMY OF A FALSE FLAG ATTACK IN THE DIGITAL AGE
False Flag attacks are SO confusing!
Are they real, are they FAKE? Were there any victims? And why are television and media
reports SO coordinated, ubiquitous and unanimous as to the culprits.
Is what I saw on TV real or was it computer graphics? Were those real victims being run
over by the madman in the car, or were they stunt men performing their craft? Why are
the outcomes so predictable?
More draconian laws, more police and surveillance, bigger budgets for law enforcement and intelligence
operations � all to keep us safer, even though all the existing precautions didn�t
seem to help. How come our Intelligence guys seem to have nearly always have the perpetrator
in their clutches � but �let him go�? Hmm.
And why is there so much evidence of FILM CREWS recording CRISIS ACTORS being attended
to by emergency personnel at �terrorist events� in the weeks and months leading
up to what we are told are bona fide terrorist attacks?
Are these events PRE-RECORDED for public consumption, to push political and/or military objectives?
Like going to war in the Middle East.
Many online citizen journalists are already calling the recent Manchester Arena Bombing
a False Flag hoax. Who�s right? The trusted government or the skeptical citizens? It�s
really hard to tell, but we can have our suspicions.
Staged in May of 2016, a year earlier, shows a mock terrorist attack in Manchester, England.
And the purpose of this digital recording is�. ??
No, I couldn�t think of any logical reason either!
Anyway, the British Prime Minister, Therese May has already put 5,000 combat troops on
the streets of the UK, to keep the public safe!! That didn�t take long, did it.
These are difficult issues to grasp for We the People. Surely this must be just another
Conspiracy Theory, right?
Wrong! Here�s a list of recent False Flag attacks ADMITTED TO by various governments
around the world. Fascinating and ILLUMINATING.
But what exactly is a False Flag Attack?
From Wikipedia:
�The contemporary term false flag describes covert operations that are designed to deceive
in such a way that activities appear as though they are being carried out by entities, groups,
or nations other than those who actually planned and executed them.�
Well I guess if there is an actual definition for False Flags, one should at least consider
the proposition that they exist.
Who would have the motive, means and ability to conduct such nefarious activities? Probably
someone with unlimited resources and nothing better to do with their time. That would leave
only a State Actor, also known as �Your Friendly Government�.
Malcolm Fraser (remember him) seemed to have strong opinions on exactly what governments
will do when push comes to shove and their �political interests� are threatened.
An interview with Mr.Fraser, recorded in October, 2014, courtesy our illustrious editor, Dee
McLachlan, tells us everything we need to know on the topic of False Flags.
�it demonstrates that a major power,(like Australia), when it believes its� vital
interests are involved, will sacrifice any number of its� own people�
An ex-Prime Minister telling us that our government can�t be trusted NOT to sacrifice us if
they need to???
OUCH!!!
Unfortunately, Mr. Fraser passed away suddenly in March, 2016.
This brings me back to last August, 2016 and the �Disaster Drill� conducted in Sydney,
near Darling Harbour.
What happened to all the film footage recorded by the Channel 7 Chopper, which hovered over
the Disaster Drill for ages. There were plenty of iconic shots of the Sydney Harbour Bridge
and the Opera House � for product location and recognition. No doubt camera crews were
on the ground filming the total chaos unfolding, while hundreds of volunteers were being attended
to by emergency personnel. Blood-soaked victims were ferried away by fleets of ambulances,
crying relatives gave heartfelt interviews to waiting journos and camera crews, and there
were machine-gun toting SWAT teams with black masks looking fierce and menacing� you get
the drill.
They MAY already have all the footage needed to stage a False Flag attack in Sydney.
But surely they wouldn�t dare, would they??
If they try to pull off another False Flag in Sydney, PLEASE DON�T BUY INTO IT!!
Tell them to �FALSE FLAG OFF!!�

ALL FOUND MURDERED DOCTORS WHO DISCOVERED CANCER ENZYMES IN VACCINE - health - Duration: 3:19.
ALL FOUND MURDERED!
DOCTORS WHO DISCOVERED CANCER ENZYMES IN VACCINES
A number of holistic doctors in Florida, over 60 of them within one year, who have been
found, killed or dead all have one common denominator.
They had all found out that an enzyme protein was cancer causing and the protein with the
name of Nagalese had been added to vaccines that had been given to humans and this is
something that has been happening on a global scale.
DOCTORS WERE SAID TO BE GETTING READY TO REVEAL FINDINGS
Nagalese is said to be an enzyme that stops vitamin D from being produced in the body
and so stops the natural ability of the body to kill off any cancer cells.
It is also a protein that is created by cancer cells and can be found in high concentrations
in children with autism.
It was revealed that it has been put into vaccines.
Nagalese affects the immune system as it disables it and it has also been known to be the cause
behind Type 2 diabetes.
It was said that the doctors who discovered this were not being killed because they had
found a cancer cure or were treating autism successfully, but they were killed because
they had researched and found evidence that vaccines that had been injected into children
had been causing cancer and autism crisis.
The doctors who had researched and who had been collaborating in Florida were said to
have been getting ready to reveal their findings to the public.
VIDEO CLIP EMERGED FOLLOWING SHOW BEING TAKEN DOWN A 19-minute video clip has been put online
with a lot of important information being said during the first 10 minutes of the video.
The speaker in the video is Dr Ted Broer and he breaks the information about Nagalese in
the video and he goes on to explain the findings of the doctors.
Broer had broken into The Hagmann & Hagmann Report and it took an hour to get him on air
as the show, which typically lasts three hours, had been taken down and all the lines they
had tried to use kept on being disconnected, then servers were brought down.
An hour later they connected with Dr. Broer and one of the first things he was heard saying
was that he was not suicidal.
It was said that he had been frightened that he would be taken out Hastings style before
getting the opportunity to say what he had to say publicly.
The short clip is him telling the story.
It was alleged that on three different dates in one month two doctors died on the very
same day, which means six doctors in total who died in pairs over three different days.
Many skeptics rolled their eyes at the first few deaths believing it to be no more than
coincidence that they had all been doctors.
There were many deaths that were unsolved murders, more were alleged to be suicides
and many of the deaths are under investigation.
The majority of the doctors had been holistic and all them were said to have cared very
passionately and deeply about health.

Tin Tặc Bắc Hàn Tấn Công Trung Quốc? | Trung Quốc Không Kiểm Duyệt - Duration: 7:04.
On this episode of China Uncensored,
turns out, nuclear weapons might not be
North Korea's most dangerous weapon.
Actually, they probably are,
but this is also concerning.
Hi, welcome to China Uncensored,
I'm your host Chris Chappell.
So you know how everyone's been freaking out
that North Korea might develop
and launch a nuclear weapon?
Well, it turns out
you don't need to worry about that.
You need to worry that about North Korea launching a nuke
and
possibly launching global cyber attacks.
Since you're currently on the internet,
you've probably heard of the massive cyber attack
that began on May 11.
The magnitude of the attack here is tremendous.
We're talking 200,000 computers
across 150 different countries
so this is really the biggest cyber shakedown in history.
The attack is called WannaCry,
which is how I feel every time
I look at the news these days.
Around the world,
university, business, and local government computers
were greeted with this:
Oops!
Your files have been encrypted!
Sorry, it was an honest mistake
the hackers made.
They'll gladly fix it for you,
if you just pay them $300 in bitcoins.
However if you don't,
three days later,
the price gets doubled to $600,
and after seven days,
the files are deleted.
It's a type of attack called ransomware.
Like software, but with ransom.
I'm sure you understand.
Who's to blame for this outrage?
Well, it might be North Korea.
Cybersecurity firm Symantec and Kaspersky Lab
have identified code in a version of the WannaCry virus
that is linked to the Lazarus Group.
That's the same group that was behind the Sony Pictures hack in 2014.
They're also known for stealing 81 million dollars
from Bangladesh's central bank.
And they work for North Korea.
That isn't enough to say this attack was definitely done by North Korea.
For example,
some experts say this ransomware attack
isn't how North Korean hackers usually operate.
Or that it's possible that other hackers
just borrowed the code from Lazarus.
Which makes the dark web
sound kind of like friendly neighborhood
where your next-door hacker can ring your computer
and ask to borrow a cup of code.
The point is,
we don't know for certain that North Korea is behind WannaCry.
But one good thing that's come out of this
is now people are paying way more attention
to the danger of North Korean cyber attacks,
thanks to the sudden media focus.
Unless you're talking about the focus of Chinese state-run media.
Which are blaming another country for the cyber attacks.
Guess which one?
China Daily says,
"the US National Security Agency
must shoulder some of the blame."
Oh great,
it involves the NSA.
That's so embarrassing.
My favorite state-run media,
the Global Times, said,
"Many criticized the U.S. government,
saying that it was responsible
for this spread of ransomware.
Obviously this accusation is reasonable."
Obviously.
Just as reasonable as the People's Daily
comparing it to the hacking scene in Die Hard 4.
Yes, they did.
How, you ask,
is the NSA responsible
for this cyber attack?
Apparently, the NSA has been exploiting
a flaw in Microsoft Windows for years,
with a hacking tool known as EternalBlue,
which is also how I feel every time
I look at the news.
Apparently, a hacking group called The Shadow Brokers
got their hands on it
and made it public last month.
And that's how the alleged North Korean hackers
were able to pull this off.
Allegedly.
So, the NSA messed up.
But that's not the whole story.
Let's back up for a moment
and talk about North Korean hackers.
The reason that hackers like the Lazarus Group
are able to pull off massive cyber attacks
is thanks to decades of training,
Internet access,
and office space
that was given to North Korea by—
you guessed it—
China.
Oops.
Yes, according to North Korean defectors,
China is largely responsible
for the growth of North Korea's cyber espionage abilities.
And they learned well.
According to the Korea Institute of Liberal Democracy in Seoul,
"Today, an elite squad of 6,800 North Korean state hackers
are engaged in fraud, blackmail and online gambling
that together generate annual revenue of $860 million."
It's the only way the poor, starving leaders of North Korea
can fund themselves
with those mean old sanctions the UN put on them.
That, plus gunrunning,
jewel smuggling, illegal gambling,
counterfeiting, and drug deal out of its embassies worldwide.
And again, North Korea's hacking skills
are thanks largely to decades of support
from the Chinese Communist Party.
So it's ironic that the country
hardest hit by WannaCry—
which, even if not done by North Korea,
definitely used North Korean code—
was China!
I bet he does wanna cry.
The Global Times says
"about 40,000 [Chinese] institutions
have been affected;
of those, 4,000 were academic,
including Tsinghua University
and Peking University."
So if the Chinese regime
gave so much support and training
to North Korean hackers in the past,
why would North Korea want to cyber attack
the hand that feeds it?
Isn't that sort of evidence it might not be North Korea behind the attack?
Well, not necessarily.
Relations between China and North Korea
are increasingly bitter.
Former Chinese leader and Super Ghouls and Ghosts wannabe, Jiang Zemin
was awkwardly close
with Kim Jong-Un's daddy,
but current leaders Xi Jinping and Kim Jong-Un
are not even friends.
They haven't even had a state visit/slumber party
And now Xi Jinping is apparently working with President Trump,
so I wouldn't be too surprised if Kim is a bit jealous.
But there could be other explanations, too:
It could have been a cyber attack
that unexpectedly hit computers in China
in a way that North Korea hackers didn't intend.
Or it could possibly not have been North Korea at all.
Either way,
it probably wasn't a good long-term strategy for China
to be training North Korean hackers.
What do you think about North Korea's new weapon,
and the attack on China?
Leave your comments below.
Thanks for watching this episode of China Uncensored.
Once again I'm your host, Chris Chappell,
see you next time.

Liberty Chronicles, Ep. 5: Revisiting "The Conspiracy Theory of History Revisited" - Duration: 19:19.
Anthony Comegna: History is the grand catalog of human action in the past.
At its broadest, it encompasses everything that everyone everywhere has ever done.
No doubt, this makes for a large subject.
Few historians however practice the biggest history there is.
Rather, we tunnel down, often as far as we can go.
We follow the lives of individuals and groups, in usually very specific time periods.
[00:00:30] At the root of it all, whatever the subject matter, there is human action.
The constant stream of choices made by historical actors are the fundamental building blocks
of larger narratives.
This is Liberty Chronicles, a project of Libertarianism.org.
I'm Anthony Comegna.
Too often, however, historians forget that only individuals act, and they fail to assign
agency to particular people.
"France, China, or America does X, Y, or Z.
The Church launches crusades.
The Nation charges forward to war."
I'm not on some semantic crusade of my own here.
There is room for these terms, but we have to pair our use of collectives with a more
fundamental practice of methodological individualism.
Only individuals have ever acted, and for every action, [00:01:30] there was someone
or several someones responsible.
If all history is about individual actions, and all individual actions are based on some
sort of perceived self-interest on the part of the actor, one may conclude that chronicles
of an historical actor's life would reveal patterns about how they expected to fulfill
those interests.
Over days and weeks, we make perhaps millions of economizing decisions, many of which are
social in nature, and include [00:02:00] one or more other individuals.
Each person who willingly associates with the group does so because they prefer participation
to nonparticipation.
Individual interests are served by creating and supporting some sort of group interest,
through which each person involved can benefit from the coordination.
Those individuals or groups with benevolent or even neutral ends pose no threats to peaceful
libertarian folks, but almost inevitably, there seem to emerge social groupings whose
individual and by extension group motivations appear to be positively malevolent.
The classic example is Spectre, from the James Bond series, but real-world examples abound.
Social groups serving the interests of individual members take on enumerable different forms
of appearance, serving a variety of purposes, and they are by no means equal in their abilities
to unjustly wield [00:03:00] accumulated power.
Whatever the case may be, whatever the situation you're investigating though, there is a certain
important sense in which all history is conspiracy.
It is the story of individuals and groups operating solely for the advancement of individual
ends.
I first encountered this idea as a tool for historical interpretation in an article by
Murray Rothbard from Reason Magazine, April 1977.
Speaker 2:The Conspiracy Theory of History Revisited, by Murray N. Rothbard.
Anytime that a hard-nosed analysis is put forth of who our rulers are, or of how their
political and economic interests interlock, it is invariably denounced by establishment
liberals and conservatives, and even by many libertarians, as a conspiracy theory of history,
paranoid, economic-determinist, and even Marxist.
These smear labels are applied across the board, even though such realistic [00:04:00]
analysis can be and have been made from any and all parts of the economic spectrum, from
the John Birch Society to the Communist Party.
The most common label is conspiracy theorist, almost always leveled as a hostile epithet
rather than adopted by the conspiracy theorist himself.
It is no wonder that usually, these realistic analyses are spelled out by various extremists
who are outside the establishment consensus, for it is vital to the continued rule of [00:04:30]
the state apparatus that it have legitimacy and even sanctity in the eyes of the public,
and it is vital to that sanctity that our politicians and bureaucrats be deemed to be
disembodied spirits solely devoted to the public good.
Once let the cat out of the bag that these spirits are all-too-often grounded in the
solid earth of advancing a set of economic interests through use of the state and the
basic mystique of government begins to collapse.
Let us take an easy example.
Suppose [00:05:00] we find that Congress has passed a law raising the steel tariff, or
imposing import quotas on steel.
Surely, only a moron would fail to realize that the tariff or quota was passed at the
behest of lobbyists from the domestic steel industry anxious to keep out efficient foreign
competitors.
No one would level a charge of conspiracy theorist against such a conclusion, but what
the conspiracy theorist is doing is simply to extend his analysis to more complex measures
of government, [00:05:30] say, to public works projects, the establishment of the ICC, the
creation of the Federal Reserve System, or the entry of the United States into a war.
In each of these cases, the conspiracy theorist asks himself the question, "Cui bono?
Who benefits from this measure?"
If he finds that measure A benefits X and Y, his step is to investigate the hypotheses,
"Did X and Y in fact lobby or exert pressure for the passage of measure A?"
In short, [00:06:00] did X and Y realize that they would benefit and act accordingly?
Far from being a paranoid or a determinist, the conspiracy analyst is a praxeologist,
that is, he believes that people act purposively, that they make conscious choices to employ
means in order to arrive at goals.
It is the opponents of conspiracy analysis who profess to believe that all events, at
least in government, are random and unplanned, and that therefore, people do not engage in
purposive [00:06:30] choice and planning.
There are of course good conspiracy analysts and bad analysts, just as there are good and
bad historians or practitioners of any discipline.
The bad conspiracy analyst tends to make two kinds of mistakes which indeed leave him open
to the establishment charge of paranoia.
First he stops with the cui bono.
If measure A benefits X and Y, he simply concludes that, "Therefore, X and Y were responsible."
He fails to realize that this [00:07:00] is just a hypothesis, and must be verified by
finding out whether or not X and Y really did so.
Secondly, the bad conspiracy analyst seems to have a compulsion to wrap up all the conspiracies,
all the bad guy power blocks, into one giant conspiracy, instead of seeing that there are
several power blocks trying to gain control of government, sometimes in conflict and sometimes
in alliance.
He has to assume, again, without evidence, that a small group of men controls them all,
and only [00:07:30] seems to send them into conflict.
These reflections are prompted by the almost blatant fact, so blatant as to be remarked
on by the major news weekly, that virtually the entire top leadership of the new Carter
administration, from Carter and Mondale on down, are members of the small semi-secret
Trilateral Commission, founded by David Rockefeller in 1973 to propose policies for the United
States, Western Europe, and Japan, and/or members of the board of the Rockefeller Foundation.
[00:08:00] The rest are tied in with Atlanta corporate interests, and especially, the Coca
Cola Company, Georgia's major corporation.
How do we look at all this?
Do we say that David Rockefeller's prodigious efforts on behalf of a certain statists public
policies are merely a reflection of unfocused altruism, or is there pursuit of economic
interest involved?
Was Jimmy Carter named a member of the Trilateral Commission as soon as it was founded because
Rockefeller and the others wanted to hear the wisdom of an obscure Georgia governor,
or was [00:08:30] he plucked out of obscurity and made president by their support?
Was J. Paul Austin, head of Coca Cola, an early support of Jimmy Carter merely out of
concern for the common good?
Were all of the Trilateralists, and Rockefeller Foundation, and Coca Cola people chosen by
Carter simply because he felt that they were the ablest people for the job?
If so, it's a coincidence that boggles the mind, or, are there more sinister political/economic
interests involved?
I submit that the knaves [00:09:00] who stubbornly refuse to examine the interplay of political
and economic interest in government are tossing away an essential tool for analyzing the world
in which we live.
Anthony Comegna: Though it is today derided, history as conspiracy has a long and respected
pedigree.
With Rothbard, we can add most of the progressive historians, many of their New Left descendants,
and a great number even of today's historians from below.
Richard Hofstadter famously [00:09:30] wrote about the paranoid style in American politics.
From the Puritans, who saw Satan's minion behind every tree, to the revolutionaries,
who blamed the king for everything, to the Jacksonians, who elevated paranoia and conspiracy
theory to a way of life and even a national mythos, for many generations of Americans,
the Conspiracy Theory of History was part of a larger world view, according to which
some elite few have always exploited the great [00:10:00] masses.
Despite the colonists attempts to escape Old World power, the beast sprouted New World
heads to torment the people still.
The Progressive generation's interpretation of the so-called Founding Fathers is perhaps
best represented by Charles Beard's An Economic Interpretation of the Constitution, 1913.
Beard built upon Carl Becker's argument that the American Revolution was really two struggles.
It was the contest over whether [00:10:30] there would be home rule in the Americas,
and a fight over who should rule at home once the trans-Atlantic dust settled.
While the 1783 Treaty of Paris resolved the question of home rule, who shall rule at home
remained an open and explosive subject.
According to Beard, colonial elites circled their collective wagons and orchestrated the
coup we lovingly call the Constitutional Convention.
There, they constructed a document which protects a variety of interests, [00:11:00] landed,
moneyed, planter, manufacturing, and on and on, while denying the states or the people
any real ability to constrain Leviathan.
If the Constitutional Convention was a coup, its participants were all conspirators of
one stripe or another.
Beard diligently detailed the personal interests of each delegate, and either uncovered or
inferred direct causal links to the document produced.
Cold War-era historians were right to note that not all decisions are made on the basis
[00:11:30] of mere economic self-interest, but even conspiracies between ideologues are
conspiracies.
There they were, in Philadelphia, plotting to replace the government with one of their
own creation.
Once put to popular votes, the Constitution received the suffrages of only about 6% to
8% of the population.
Whose law is it then?
Should every single one of us be forced to live under this particular Constitutional
regime [00:12:00] because a small cabal of merchants, bankers, slave holders, slave traders,
speculators, and otherwise unscrupulous figures duped 6% to 8% of the people into being accomplices?
America did nothing to produce the Constitution.
It was the product of particular men and their particular interests.
I asked the Cato Institute's other resident historian, Jason Kuznicki, "Is history really
all about conspiracy?"
Jason Kuznicki: Conspiracy [00:12:30] theory, it's sort of a motte-and-bailey domain in
history.
There's a famous way to characterize arguments as having a motte-and-bailey approach.
The motte is the defended position.
It's the castle in the middle of the town, where nobody can assail it.
This is the argument at its very strongest form.
The bailey is where there are no defenders around, there are no opponents around, and
you can run around, unsecured, [00:13:00] and make wild accusations.
Conspiracy theory I think has a motte-and-bailey character to it.
In a sense, there have been very real conspiracies in history.
There have been.
Lincoln's assassination was a conspiracy.
It actually was a group of people meeting together in secret with a plan that involved
killing the president, and they did it.
That was a conspiracy.
September 11th was a conspiracy.
A group of people got together to commit [00:13:30] acts of terrorism.
They all agreed that it would happen in a certain way, and for the most part, they executed
their plan.
These are real conspiracies.
Now, there are other conspiracies that are much less real, that the CIA is using mind
control by way of cellphone towers, or fluoride in the drinking water, or whatever.
This is the bailey of conspiracy theories.
You can begin with the observation that conspiracies [00:14:00] have happened, which is true and
unassailable, and then you can progress from there to increasingly wild and unsupported
conspiracies that are less and less and less credible.
It's not necessarily clear, by the way, where the motte ends and the bailey begins, if you
will, because there are some conspiracy theories that have varying degrees of plausibility
to them.
Is Vladimir Putin assassinating his political rivals?
[00:14:30] Well, yeah.
It really, really looks that way, even if, in every single case, we don't necessarily
have all of the evidence that we might need to convict him in an American court.
It still looks like he's doing it.
That's relatively plausible, but it's not as well-evidenced as, say, the Lincoln assassination.
Anthony Comegna: Have you encountered in your personal research any conspiracy theories
that were the real, classic, smoke-filled room, or scheming court aristocrat-style conspiracy?
Jason Kuznicki: Well, [00:15:00] one of my favorites is an old classic, which is that
Thomas Jefferson and his Freemason associates planned the French Revolution and caused it
to happen.
What makes this one very interesting is that there is a kernel of truth to it no matter
how much you want to deny it.
There were, in fact, Freemasons who were very active in the French Revolution, and they
were some of the key players [00:15:30] in the revolution.
Lafayette was a Freemason.
Jefferson himself was a Freemason.
Can you say that they planned the French Revolution?
Well, Lafayette was one of the key players in the French Revolution.
In a sense, yes, but were they really pulling all the strings?
Were they the ones who made it happen in all of its particulars?
That's impossible to say.
You cannot say that.
That's completely unfounded.
If it were not for the ordinary people of Paris, if it were not [00:16:00] for the ordinary
people of the countryside, the French Revolution would not have happened.
It would have been crushed, and it would have been remembered as a momentary incident.
It would not have been remembered as this great, world-changing event, which it actually
was.
Yes, there was a Masonic element to the French Revolution.
That's well-evidenced.
That's undeniable.
Did the Freemasons get together and say, "Hey, we're going to have a revolution.
It's going to be in France.
This is what's going to happen."
No. [00:16:30] That is not supportable.
Anthony Comegna: What I hear you saying is that tens of thousands of average French men
and women were also devil-worshiping, Luciferian communists.
Is that correct?
Jason Kuznicki: No.
They were hungry.
They were scared.
They were tired of being oppressed.
They had political ideas, which historians still debate the degree to which the Enlightenment
had percolated down to the ordinary people, but they had political ideas that were in
many senses new, [00:17:00] and they wanted to act on them.
It was a big, messy, complicated thing.
As I often say about history, there are few truly world-changing events like the French
Revolution that don't arise from multiple causes.
The French Revolution certainly did.
It had lots of different causes.
Anthony Comegna: Catherine Williams was one of many women historians writing for a popular
audience in the Jacksonian era.
Among her many volumes [00:17:30] with an historical cast is the Neutral French, or,
the Exiles of Nova Scotia, 1841.
As was the style at the time, Williams blamed Great Britain and diplomatic court intrigue
for the French Revolution, and an unknowable number of other historical events.
She writes, "When the secrets of all men shall be disclosed at the Great Day, it is presumable
that the expos� of court diplomacy will reveal the greatest mystery of iniquity [00:18:00]
the whole assembled universe can produce.
If the real origin of many of the disturbances that have deluged Europe in blood, divided
the councils, and destroyed the resources of nations could be known, in 19 cases out
of 20, the intriguers of foreign courts would be found at the bottom of them, and in 9 cases
out of 10, during the last 500 years, England has been the intriguer."
Okay, maybe Catherine Williams was one of those over-eager [00:18:30] amateurish historians
Rothbard was talking about when he said, "The conspiracy theorist's big mistake is lumping
everything into the same conspiracy."
The British monster wasn't the only creature stretching its tentacles across the globe,
after all.
Nonetheless, you have to admit, she has a point.
Even the history of great national events comes down to the decisions made by particular
people.
