 Hello,

 I am very interested in the information on your website, however, I am curious about your background. As you probably know, there are a lot of phonies in cyberspace. Please refer me to the link on your website with information about you or just email me some.

Thanks,

 Esther

Hi Esther,

Thanks for writing. Your inquiry gives me an opportunity to relay a story:

I once had the editor of a journal for chiropractors contact me by E mail. He wanted to interview me for his magazine because he was so impressed by the articles that I had written and posted to my web site. He asked me to supply the same sort of academic credentials that you are requesting so that he could include that in the introduction to the interview. I told him what I'm about to tell you: Whatever sort of academic background I have-or don't have-will remain my business. It's entirely possible that I never even graduated from high school. You'll never know one way or the other.

Why? Because it's much more important to focus on the merits of WHAT people have to say or write and NOT depend on their academic credentials to provide a sense of reliability or credibility. The entire world has been led to believe, actually brainwashed to believe, that academic credentials give you a ticket to ride on the"Credentialed Authority Express" which only provides a pass to those who've obtained college or post graduate degrees (hopefully from prestigious Ivy League  universities). This engrained idea that the academic 'expert' knows best is reinforced constantly through the media. How many talk shows have you seen that have the invited 'expert'(usually Ph.D) explain away all the problems of the guests (victims) being interviewed on the show (Oprah comes to mind in this regard)?

The truth is, that very often, people who tout academic credentials-especially regards science and medicine- are full of beans.  The academies of this country have been subverted by, and intentionally led astray, by individuals and organizations working on behalf of the Illuminati to dumb down America.

In case you haven't noticed, they have succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. The modern effort took root in the late 19th centruy with the formation of The Fabian Society in England. Do a search under "Fabian Society" and you can read all about it on the Internet. Dr. John Coleman also wrote extensively about the subversion of Amercian academia by the Fabian Gang in his books.

The idea of assigning the title of 'expert' or the use of academic credentials REALLY serves as a subliminal tool to divide us: the smart guys versus the dummies; the in-crowd versus the commoners; the authoritity figure and the sheep. You get the idea.

By the way, the journal editor never did the interview nor attempted to contact me again. I guess my 'fabulous' articles (his words) lost their sheen now that they were not accompanied by a puffy list of academic degrees. Or, you never know, he may have concluded that I was one of those 'cyberspace phonies'.

Regards, Ken

PS: I notice that you are using an E mail address from Indiana University, Purdue University Indianoplis. Are you a student, staff, or a teacher?

Ken,

I really appreciate your response, but considering your email, I must have phrased my question incorrectly. I wasn't looking for a laundry list of academic credentials. I just found it unusual that there isn't a "Bio" link on your website (or something comparable). I'm sure that contacting you from my school account aided your assumption.

I would like to clarify: I don't think that you need a PhD to be intelligent or have valuable knowledge. I find many academics to be elitist and closeminded. Looking back, I have learned most of what I know from regular people, who haven't necessarily graduated from high school. I always try to keep an open mind. I respect your privacy and I understand if you are touchy about this because you have probably received a lot of flack. However, I crave some background info about what you represent because I find it hard to blindly accept information from someone I don't even know or have some reference to. Regardless, I will continue to read your website and consider what it says. A lot of it makes sense to me.

To answer your question: I am a senior in the School of Journalism at IUPUI. However, I have no idea what I want to do because I have been extremely disillusioned by the profession. I pursued it because of thenoble ideals of relating the truth, but I'm not sure if this is possible, except on an intimate level.

Sincerely, Esther

Hi Esther,

It's extremely common for college seniors to graduate and have no idea what they want to do.

Because we (the planet) are moving through a period of rising consciousness and awareness, you will undoubtedly be dissatisfied with a job that makes you money, but doesn't fulfill your desire to contribute or create. Journalism is fine, but it's next to impossible to work freely for a major newspaper. If you're hired, you write what they want you to write, not necessarily what you want to write, unless your ideas fit their agenda.

Where big newspapers are concerned, there is no genuine investigative reporting anymore. Now and then a reporter will get a story out that exposes the regime's current agenda to destroy America, like the San Jose Mercury's story of the CIA and running drugs into south central LA, but those reporters will wind up in court battles and soon be dropped from their newspaper-as did happen in that case.

All mainstream medias are controlled information outlets. However, the Internet is not controlled and it is one way to gain an audience without an editor looking over your shoulder. The trick is how to make money while doing it.  You can always make more money privately than working for someone else anyway. One easy example is tutoring English for non English speakers, children and adults. If you live in an area with lots of Asian people for instance, you will never lack work as a tutor.

Concerning the bio, let me amplify further.

It's not an issue of privacy, but rather the principle that I wish to emphasize (by the way, your remarks below make my case, as you concur that you've learned more from 'regular' people than academics) .

Anyway, I realize that 99 % of people with academic credentials wish to display them because society has been conditioned to respond to such credentials. The more impressive the credentials, the greater credibilityand respect we afford to the owner. That's the way most people see it.

What's wrong with that? Everything.

Intelligence or wisdom or creative ability or inventive genius or brillance or a good idea is not limited to people with degrees. One of the best philosophers I ever read or heard worked as a longshoreman all of his adultlife on the docks of NY and he never even finished grammar school.

It's far more important to train your mind to think critically and make judgements from within. The value of the arguments presented in an essay or talk or lecture is what you should base your opinion on concerning themerits of the case in question, not the letters after the speaker's name. The vast majority of people will unflinchingly accept all sorts of patent garbage from people wearing white lab coats or those who are addressed with the title of "Doctor" ...so and so. And doing that has cost the lives of MILLIONS upon MILLIONS of people in the past century.

One example is the squashing of the definitive cure for cancer which was discovered and made available in the early 1930's by Royal Raymond Rife. However, the credentialed medical establishment and the credentialed pharmaceutical-supported journal editors and the credentialed academics working for them have been telling us that the cure for cancer has not yet been found and that the stuggle goes on (so please make your generous donation payable to the American Cancer Society, blah, blah.. ).

Another example is free energy. Nikola Tesla discovered Radiant Energy in 1888 and it could have made the entire world energy independent of oil, gas, coal, etc. for the past 100 years, but again the HIGHLY credentialed academics in major league universities from coast to coast have been assuring us -at least since 1905- that the ether does not exist; that di-electricity cannot possibly exist; that perpetual motion cannot esist; that energy (entrophy) always moves from a higher concentration to a lower one; and that free energy cannot exist.

So that's what's wrong with given creedence to academic credentials. Often those with the best sounding credentials are totally off base and those without any academic titles know- and can discern- the truth without ever batting an eye.

Regards, Ken
