Hello, and welcome to jackrabbit country.

If you're reading this, you're probably already a resident, or at least a tourist, in Jackrabbit Country. What is Jackrabbit Country? That's what Hunter s Thompson called the condition where you're still very much, too much, in touch with mainstream culture but you're also acutely, perhaps terminally, aware that the things you're being spoonfed just ain't kosher. Once you find yourself in that position, it's like being a jackrabbit who just can't help darting across the busy highway over and over. You're thrilled. You're in a panic. You're seeing things for the first time and your veins are pumping battery acid but you're also in danger. You're not even in danger from some mysterious cabal, you're in danger from your own curiousity, your own need to keep running around and in front of dumb, fast moving, impossibly powerful forces that 1) couldn't stop for you if they wanted to and 2) don't want to.

Different people have called it different things. Through the looking glass. Down the rabbit hole. Waking up. I think Jackrabbit Country fits best, because the fact of the matter is, just because you're out here doesn't mean you know anything yet. It doesn't mean you've woken up and seen the world the way it really is, beneath the bedazzling facade of kings and tyrants. It doesn't mean you've fallen to the bottom of the hole or through the looking glass--in fact you'd kill to have that kind of clarity. It would be nice to at least be able to say "Ahh. That's where I am. Wonderland. It's spooky, but I guess it's home now". Ontologically, you have no home. All you have is the highway, the fast moving traffic and a bewildering countryside and you're running from place to place in a panic.

It's hard to tell what to believe. There are so many lies. There are the Official Lies that you've learned to reject, but then everywhere you turn there are also unofficial lies. Some of them well intentioned, some of them deliberate disinformation. You quickly realize that the fellow travelers in Jackrabbit Country are often outraged and indignant and, as Nietzsche said, nobody lies like the indignant!

So I guess the first thing i want to talk about is, what does it mean to believe in the Conspiracy?

Well, fellow freakazoids, fellow jackrabbits, here are a few observations:

To believe in the Conspiracy does not necessarily mean there is a single unified Cabal somewhere out there that's driving up oil prices, hiding flying saucers and putting Will Ferrell in movies out of pure sadistic spite. What it does mean is that there are powerful people who work together and that much of the work they do, most of the work they do, is secret. Some of it is bloodchilling. People will do almost anything to achieve wealth and power and to hang on to it once they've achieved it. When you look at the crimes the rich and powerful have managed to commit that have come to light, you just have to wonder what they've managed to keep secret.

I don't believe there is one group of people who control everything in the world. Twelve rabbis, my friends, do not control the world in secret. The agendas of the rich and powerful often clash. True consolidation of power is all but impossible simply because to get that kind of wealth and power requires the kind of ego that does not cope well with subjugation or even compromise.

The Conspiracy is sometimes the result of the secret actions of one group to gain power or money and it is sometimes the actions of two groups to hurt each other (and whomever else gets in the way) and it is sometimes actions taken in collusion, where the agendas of powerful interests happen to intersect. We will talk more about this later.

For now, I am just concerned with giving people who can't quite make up their minds about Jackrabbit Country some evidence to stick around, some reason to believe in the Conspiracy. If you're already a resident, if you're already rejected, in one way or another, the Lie and how they're selling it, this will be old news to you. These are some quick and dirty proofs, some easily verified facts about the world. If you didn't know they were true, they'd sound outlandish, like the stuff of bad pulp films. They're the tip of the iceberg.

1) The space program and the US arms buildup were largely build on the brainpower of the Nazis. Everyone knows this, but just think about it. We spent WWII hating the Nazis, who in turn spent WWII killing millions of Jews, gypsies, cripples, homosexuals, Catholics, Freemasons, and nearly anybody else who stood up against the Reich. As soon as the war is over, we started bringing over the best scientific minds in Germany to help us build a bigger, better rocket. It was called Operation Paperclip. Werner von Braun, whose work for the Reich killed American and Allied soldiers and British civilians, became an American hero. Now ask yourself, why were these people allowed to live and prosper while other German soldiers, who had never fired a shot and didn't even want to be Nazis, who were only wearing the uniform because they had no choice, imprisoned and executed or else shot on sight while trying to surrender at the end of the war? It's because the powers that be could profit from, could advance their own motives with, the scientists. For the men and women who occupy the most dizzying heights and breathe the most rarefied air, there is no Good and Evil, there is the WIll to Power and nothing else.

2) The CIA mass produced LSD and then experimented on American citizens with it, without their consent or even their knowledge. The MK Ultra program is often linked with other, more dubious programs like the Monarch Sex Slave operation. I happen to believe in the real existence of many of these other programs, but just for a moment forget about them and focus on what the CIA has admitted to about MK Ultra. For example, in San Francisco, in something called Operation Midnight Climax, hookers were given rooms in buildings the CIA had rigged with observation equipment. They would take johns into a room and dose them with LSD and then the CIA spooks would watch and record everything the john said and did. These were powerful, mind altering drugs that the government now says are so dangerous citizens aren't even allowed to possess them, but here was the CIA trying them out on citizens. Before you discount the existence of mindkontrol experiments, or the use of mindkontrol technology on a massive scale as pure science fiction, consider these experiments to which the CIA has already admitted. Why did they admit to them? Because the amount of proof that was out there was overwhelming, because there were too many loose lips and too many witnesses. As always, they have continued to hide what they could hide, but just what they have admitted to ought to shock you.

3) The Federal Reserve is owned by the Rockefellers, Morgans and Rothschilds among others. This is one of the things that put me, personally, over the edge. I grew up with children of privilege and I know people intimately who have attended Bohemian Grove, so I'm able to take all of that with a grain of salt--to some degree I'm able to believe that it's just some rich and successful people blowing off steam. I've participated in Secret Societies that used pagan rites or rites patterned after the ancient Mystery Cults so I fully believe that not everybody who stands around underneath a giant owl doing some silly chants is a black magician. But if you wanna talk about spooky consolidation of wealth and power, the Federal Reserve is in the control of a few very prominent families with very dirty histories.

So before you get too fed up with Jackrabbit Country, before you start thinking you should really make your way home to where you know it's warm and safe and stop running around like a lunatic out here in the wind and weather and traffic, keep in mind that the Conspiracy is real. They'll do everything they can to sell the lie and as they release more and more information they'll try to make it sound like something perfectly mundane, something you should have known all along. That's part of how they keep things orderly and tidy. But once you've seen just a little too much, once you've run across the road once too often, you're not going to be able to go back to the way things were.
