Why do people hate and kill each other? I asked myself that question in 1951. I was five.
My Dad built Hanford, the world's first weapons-grade plutonium-239 manufacturing facility. Plutonium-239 is the fissile isotope used to explode nuclear weapons and is considered to be the most carcinogenic of all radioactive substances. Then he designed and built the world's first hydrogen bomb.
The night he came home after exploding the first H-bomb, I dedicated my life to discovering why people hate and kill each other.
His hands, overarching expertise, and authority were behind every weapon of mass destruction built in the USA until the testing moratorium in 1958. At one point, he was the only man on Earth who knew how to create the explosives and build the physical warfare for mass nuclear annihilation.
The McCarthy Era
Dr. Robert Oppenheimer is known as the 'father of the atomic bomb.' Between 1951 and 1953, Dad had private studies with Oppenheimer at UCLA, where he learned all the information discovered by top physicists from Los Alamos: Albert Einstein, Earnest Laurence, Enrico Fermi, Edward Teller, and many others.
The McCarthy Era was paranoid about communism. McCarthyism occurred during the 1950s when U.S. Sen. Joseph McCarthy of Wisconsin produced a series of investigations and hearings to expose supposed communist infiltration of various areas of the U.S. government. It was as if a commie was hiding behind every bush, and we were to report our neighbors if we witnessed any suspicious activity.
In 1954, Oppenheimer was used as a scapegoat and stripped of his top-secret security clearance to create fear in Americans. Oppenheimer was expendable because my Dad knew all the physics behind bomb building. My Dad was the unknown, unseen, top-secret security clearance construction engineer who knew how to build bombs.
Rioting in the streets
I lived through the late 60s and 70s in Berkeley, California. Marches, demonstrations in the street, fighting for women's rights, equal rights, and gay rights. Riot gear, tear gas, billy clubs, Uzi submachine guns with bayonets, and mace. Beatings, killings, and rage while hippies preached peace and love. Some change happened, and things calmed down for a while, at least on the surface. But that change is now being stripped away daily.
And now, history is repeating itself. The rage has been building for eons. It's in our blood, bone marrow, and DNA, along with the violence and hatred. For over 70 years, I've been studying, exploring, living on the edge, following the path to discover why people hate and kill each other.
After a lifelong search, I have answers.
The force, the energy, the frequency behind politicians, drug companies, corrupt banking, schemes, toxic food, climate change, all of it, I named the Fear Bot. It's bigger, older, and more powerful than the current insane world leaders. It's the frequency and energy behind the patriarchal, hierarchical world view we live in. The Fear Bot is the force behind global events, like the man behind the curtain in The Wizard of Oz. The closest analogy is AI and the bots that crawl the Internet, invade our bodies, and corrupt our DNA.
Most of what I have to say, no one wants to hear. It's easier to blame someone else. It's easier to play victim than stand in our power and create the necessary internal change that manifests a world beyond war, inflicted pain, poverty, and starvation.
Some of what I write is shocking, some is very simple. So simple, it's brushed aside. Spirals of Radical Gratitude is a profound, transformational tool, but it is usually not used. The lure of blaming others is more compelling for most than the plain ease and humble simplicity of Radical Gratitude.
