This utterly fascinating archive of a 1958 Mike Wallace Interview with Aldous Huxley is more revealing about our current state of affairs in the U.S.A. than ever before.
Huxley had just written Enemies of Freedom and it became the focus of the discussion. Wallace and Huxley discussed such topics as overpopulation, the growing impersonalization of human affairs, propaganda, mind-controlling drugs, and various prescriptions for these problems.
In this video Huxley makes some very astute observations that are still very pertinent today, affirming him as a very capable futurologist and one of the great minds of the 20th Century.
This was taped at the height of the Cold War, when it wasn't at all clear as to whether the United States or Soviet Union would win the battle of minds. Huxley was making the case that freedom was in peril and that there were two primary forces working against the United States at the time: accelerating impersonalization and technological advancements.
In particular, he saw overpopulation as a disaster in waiting. Huxley argued that growing populations would place undue pressure on existing resources, which would in turn force central governments to exert more control. It would also lead to increased social unrest -- something Huxley believed would play into the hands of totalitarian regimes.
Sound like today? Yipes...
Huxley also warned about what he called 'over-organization.' As technology becomes more complicated, he said, it becomes necessary to have more elaborate organizations, particularly hierarchical organizations. The science of organization has progressed accordingly, said Huxley, allowing for organization on a scale never before possible; more and more people are living as subordinates under the thumb of massive bureaucracies.
He was also worried about the powers of propaganda and the innovative ways regimes had become able to deliver their messages. Hitler, for example, used every modern device made available to him, enabling him to impose his will on an immense mass of educated people: "We musn't be caught by surprise by our own advancing technology. This has happened again and again in history...Technology advances and changes social conditions -- and suddenly people have found themselves in a situation which they didn't foresee and doing all sorts of things they really didn't want to do."
Looking at the situation in 1958, Huxley commented that "Television is [currently] being used too much to distract people all the time." This remark led quite naturally to a discussion of Soma, a drug he featured in his famous book, Brave New World. Huxley predicted that drugs would be introduced that could change our mental states but won't do us any harm -- they would be "mind changing" drugs.
Dictatorships of the future, said Huxley, could "bypass the rational side of man and even his physiology, and actually make him love his slavery," making them "happy in a situation where they oughtn't to be happy."
He was also worried that modern election campaigns had regressed in such a way that the electorate was "being persuaded below the point of choice and reason." Huxley was concerned that politicians were using advertising techniques in their campaigns. Specifically, he worried about 'subliminal projection' and other hidden persuasion techniques.
Clearly, Huxley was right on the mark. Today's elections have become very much like this -- nothing more than massive advertising campaigns. And whereas Huxley and his contemporaries were worried about subliminal messaging, today we worry that leaders like Barack Obama and other politicians are using novel persuasion techniques like neuro-linguistic programming (NLP).
Tactics such as these, argued Huxley, are "making nonsense of the whole democratic procedure which is based on rational grounds." He warned that we would undermind our institutions: "Democracy is based on the assumption that power is dangerous."
So, how do we preserve the integrity and value of the human individual? Huxley believed it was a matter of education and decentralization.
On education, Huxley stressed the importance of teaching individualism and teaching against the booby-traps of persuasion. He felt it important to make children aware of persuasion and other techniques.
As for de-centralization, his prescription was to see voters re-empowered. He envisioned smaller electorates where voters could feel that their votes mattered and that they were somehow contributing to the political process.
Lastly, Wallace asked: Is freedom necessary? Is it necessary for a productive society?
Yes, answered Huxley: Creativity and initiative is impossible without a large measure of freedom.

The idea that Schapelle Corby: • somehow obtained 4.2kg of marijuana, having worked so hard just to earn the money for the flight, with no criminal record, and as a non-drug user • placed it in her bag and then slashed the plastic bag open to release the smell • chose to smuggle marijuana to a country where the drug is worth a tiny fraction of its Australian value • somehow transported, undetected, the pungent smelling bag through Brisbane Domestic airport, Sydney Domestic airport, and Sydney International airport, past check-in staff, sniffer dogs, x-ray machines, CCTV, police, customs and baggage handlers • put her full name and address on the board bag when she checked in • openly proclaimed that she owned the bag when it was 'selected' by Indonesian customs • protested about police/customs handling and therefore contaminating the evidence, which would actually have helped convict her had she placed the drugs • formally requested that the marijuana be tested for country of origin, which would have added weight against her had it been from Australia • pleaded for DNA and fingerprint tests which can only have harmed her had she placed them • refused to even contemplate a plea bargain despite sentencing advantages • begged for CCTV footage from Sydney and Brisbane airports when even a single frame of a pregnant board bag would have damned her • requested footage from Denpasar airport which would have validated police claims had they been truthful • acted out a script so wonderfully at the show trial that she would have swept the board at any Oscar ceremony • and so much more.... ... the idea is clearly absurd. Yet she is still there, deserted...
Its high time to remedy this injustice.

Futurist and researcher in non-local consciousness, Stephan Schwartz, http://www.stephanaschwartz.com/
discussed remote viewing, meditation, dreams and how changes in the Earth's geomagnetic field influence our consciousness and creativity. He credited non-local consciousness as the part of the mind that experiences intuition, facilitates remote viewing and may even be what survives after death. Marveling at the advancements of science in understanding this non-local consciousness over the last 40 years, Schwartz mused that "we are approaching a view of the world that shamanism arrived at through meticulous observation, where the observer was the instrument."
He stressed meditation as a key tool in learning to access non-local consciousness. Schwartz explained that this is because the practice teaches one to focus their intention. If you have the ability to focus intention, he said, "you can learn very quickly to open to this part of yourself." Additionally, Schwartz said that there is growing evidence that meditation has a physical effect on the brain. He cited a study which showed that, by meditating for as little as 11 total hours, the practice will result in parts of the brain actually getting larger. For more of Schwartz's insights into meditation, including some remommended techniques, see his paper http://www.explorejournal.com/article...
on the subject.
According to Schwartz, the Earth's geomagnetic field is another element which plays a role in non-local consciousness. He explained that, during periods of weak solar activity when the field is calm, it becomes easier to access this aspect of the mind. In turn, he said, there is an observable increase in creative output from people which is demonstrated by surges in patents, books, and records. Should that calm extend over a lengthier period of time, Schwartz surmised, enormous change can occur. "When you see it played out across millions and millions of people, each of whom is slightly altered as a result of this, you can see how it has an effect at the social level," he said, suggesting that the Renaissance and the Enlightenment may have been fueled by this phenomenon.
During the evening, Schwartz also performed a remote viewing experiment with George and the listeners. The object was not the point of the experiment here is the object, look at what you drew, draw with your eyes open too! https://twitter.com/#!/coasttocoastam...

~imagine all 80+ Iran Nuclear installations destroyed ... that is about 35 times worse that Fukushima Disaster ... I wonder IF that happens if they know in advance what the direction of the wind will be and which countries will get the radiation pollution on a massive scale which equals to GENOCIDE of millions of people ... total INSULT OF OUR INTELLIGENCE to thinking "it is the right way". What is worse? Mainstream (shamestream) Media playing dumb or that they ARE dumb?
