**************************** 

Do you believe the deaths at Jonestown were the result of suicides as per the official story or mass murder? That’s the question we put to members of the Underground Knowledge discussion group in our latest (continuing) poll on Goodreads.com

 

Bodies at Jonestown…mass murder or suicide?

 

Jonestown, of course, is the name synonymous with the mass deaths of the infamous (mainly American) Peoples Temple cult members in the jungles of Guyana. Since that dreadful event, in November, 1978, there has been considerable speculation on whether the deaths were suicide, as per the official story, or mass murder.

If ‘Undergrounders’ (group members) are correct, most believe it was mass murder. One compelling argument proffered to support this view is that many of the dead were children – and, of course, children don’t normally commit suicide, do they?

Interim poll results are:

63% believe the deaths were mass murder.

22% believe they were suicides.

15% are unsure.

 

A random selection of poll respondents’ comments follows:

Mass murder, because children don’t “choose” suicide. Men with guns stood around until everyone had drunk the poisoned cool aide. Then they either drank it, or ran away. But those few men, who held the rifles were both murderers and the only few who actually committed suicide.   

No way this is a conspiracy. Jones and his followers killed a US Congressman, panicked and drank Kool-Aid. End of story.

I would say…Mass Murder – MK Ultra Mind Control

How do we know that they were shot except for verbal statements? 

The Guyanese army, whose soldiers were among the first on the scene, reported only 408 Temple members had died by their own hand. Then the New York Times reported the actual number was around 500. US Military personnel arrived several days later and the body count quickly rose – from 700 to a final tally of 909. No official explanation was ever given for these differing body counts although one US official was quoted as saying, “Guyanese cannot count.”

 …it’s madness! So much death and many things that don’t make sense. It’s either religious fanatics/cult or a corrupt government to blame and we know which explanation we’d rather go with. I vote unsure on this.  

This is a hard one to decide on there are so many sides to what the truth is and everyone has a different story to tell.   

Neil Sanders does a pretty good job at listing all the anomalies in the official story, as well as all the CIA involvement in the cult before the deaths, in this video here: https://www.goodreads.com/videos/9605…

******************************************

The latest poll in our Underground Knowledge discussion group on Goodreads.com  has struck a chord with most respondents indicating they believe a universal income for all citizens would be beneficial.

 

 

We put the following question to group members: Do you believe your country would prosper from having a Universal Income aka “Basic Income” (i.e. a bare minimum wage unconditionally granted to all citizens)?

Interim results show: 57% say YES / 38% say NO / 5% are UNSURE.

 

A random selection of poll respondents’ comments follow:

As someone who believes in Capitalism, I previously would have voted NO on this subject. But having now researched it in depth and seen the success stories of trials done in Canada and EU countries, I can see the merits and therefore voted YES.

I think being able for a country/state/city to provide citizens with basic needs is an excellent idea. ..and who knows. ..it may end up cutting down welfare costs in the long run.    

I would never be in favor of a minimum income if welfare didn’t go away. It’s double dipping. You have income. Ok, need more? You are responsible to go get it. This is separate from charitable efforts if someone is medically challenged. This has always been an aspect of society–to take care of the helpless.

Countries/states/cities that have trialed the basic income idea have found cases of domestic violence, petty crime, drug addiction and ill-health caused by poverty have all dropped by a significant amount.   

Finland is doing it. We’ll have direct evidence of its effects. Beside, Finland analysts have shown how the maneuver will actually SAVE money for the State. At the same time, they will remove a costly bureaucratic apparatus to manage unemployment benefits, requests and their processing, paperwork, and much more.    

To live people need enough money to do so. If you remove all income from people then they have no choice but to turn to crime, to survive. Therefore it is insane not to have a basic income for the lowest of the low but those actually working should earn more as an incentive to do so.    

I can see the value in doing a minimum wage to every American. If we simplified the tax code, we could use it also to substitute for the many tax credits like “earned income” which is essentially a refund for taxes NOT paid. There would be a lot of saving on complexity.

I’ve recently had this discussion on Linked In at the following, albeit with a slightly different op ed introduction to the issue. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/univer…

I voted no because the question did not say anything else would go away, so I had to assume this redistribution of income would be IN ADDITION to programs that already exist. Now, if the question was worded to say it would replace those programs, then I’d have to rethink my answer but it would likely not change because people need to have the support especially among those who are inept.    

These days I tend to think a smart nation should be generous with social welfare and assume that there will be a small element (maybe 5-10%) who “free load”.

 

This poll was inspired by this excerpt of INTERNATIONAL BANKSTER$: The Global Banking Elite Exposed and the Case for Restructuring Capitalism posted in this discussion thread here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/…

*****************************

 

Interim results of the latest poll in our Underground Knowledge discussion group on Goodreads.com  show around half are against the death penalty for heinous crimes.

 

 

The exact question put to Undergrounders (group members) was: Do you think there should be a death penalty for the most heinous crimes?

Results to date are as follows: 52% say NO / 22% say YES / 26% are UNSURE

 

Respondents’ comments make for interesting reading. A random selection of comments follows:

“Thou shalt not kill and if anyone does, we’re gonna kill ya!” makes no sense.

I voted 100% YES for the death penalty. I’d even pull the switch if there’s no other volunteers. Reason being…there are recidivist offenders out there who are just plain evil and beyond education, rehabilitation, redemption, salvation or any other ‘tion’. Beyond hope in other words. 

Am basically against the death penalty, especially as some of those on death row are occasionally proven to be innocent…including sometimes posthumously.

In the case of rape, the rapist would kill the victim if there’s death penalty for it. Almost always. Don’t know what to think!  

I have no right to decide who should be killed REGARDLESS of their crime. It would only be vengeance to make one feel better – that doesn’t make it right.    

I do believe there has to be a punishment that equals the crime. However, is the death penalty the answer? For some, it would be, an eye for an eye. For other the death penalty is the easy way out. Life in Prison without the possibility of parole would be a more realistic punishment. Here in Califonia, there are approximately 750 on death row awaiting execution; however, all executions are on hold. Many of those on death row have been there over 20 years, costing millions of taxpayer dollars in legal costs along.    

Why spend $100K (est.) a year to keep a proven killer in lockdown when that money could actually go toward saving lives? Seems society is more focused on looking after offenders than the offenders’ victims and victims’ families.

**************************** 

 

 

 

 

Interim results of the latest poll in our Underground Knowledge discussion group on Goodreads.com  show that nearly two thirds of respondents believe prostitution should be legalized.

 

 

In response to the question Should prostitution be legalized?  65% say YES / 27% say NO / 8% are UNSURE.

 

A random selection of poll respondents’ comments follows:

In order to make it taxable? “Cleaner” & safer environment? Show that we have all have the power to do what we please with our bodies? Will this in any way minimize forced prostitution? 

I believe that Prostitution should be legal as long as the person involved is of legal age and it can be ascertained that s/he is entering into the deal without coercion or force (if that can ever be proven). It is already legal in Nevada and the reports seem to be good.

Legalizing prostitution and recognizing it as a legitimate practice would create a safer environment than making it illegal, just like history shows about alcohol and drugs. It isn’t directly about power, either, but freedom.

I favor legalizing of prostitution for various reasons, the most important being the conditions surrounding the sex workers.Forced or not, they’re subject to extreme exploitation which can be reduced to a great extent by legalization.

Being a libertarian, I think victimless crimes should be decriminalized. You cannot legislate morality. However, even after legalization, trafficking and procurement (pimping) of women occurs.

When you make a victimless crime, you create a criminal (and a victim of the system.)    

I feel the legalizing it will make it safer and cleaner, It will not stop the issue of human trafficking anymore than legalizing Marijuana has stopped people from selling it. The Prostitution has been around for ever and has shown to be successful and safe in many countries. Criminalizing it just ties up resources that can be better used else where. 

By making prostitution legal, avoids making sex workers victims, and frees up law enforcement to focus on human trafficking in general and slavery in particular.     

By making these things which people have done since the beginning of time illegal it puts power in the hands of criminals, and makes criminals of victims.

Interim results in the latest poll in our Underground Knowledge discussion group on Goodreads.com  reveals nearly two thirds of poll respondents claim to have experienced ESP or Extra Sensory Perception (e.g. Remote Viewing, Near Death Experiences, precognition, out-of-body experiences, telepathy, seeing auras etc).

To date, in response to the question Have you ever experienced ESP? poll results show 61% say YES; some 30% say NO; and 9% are UNSURE.

Poll respondents’ comments make for interesting reading. Here’s a sample selection of those comments:

Damn, I just realized this poll began on Friday the 13th 🙂

I have an interesting theory…Leading neuroscience theorists now believe that consciousness lies at a subatomic quantum level. If so, it would make the brain the greatest biological quantum field generator ever created. At the quantum level, time does not exist. Whatever has, is or will happen already theoretically has. If your consciousness can tap into the universe on a quantum level, theoretically we all have the capability to create our own “Spidey Senses”.

Some theorists even believe that we remember forward, so in effect we are living in a world that has already occurred and we constantly are in a state of catching up. I think that this is a great theory and it would make sense if you view it in terms of ESP, or clairvoyance. “Future Memory”.

Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda is one of the best books I’ve read on this subject. Interestingly, this was Steve Jobs’ favorite book. At Jobs’ funeral, all attendees were given a copy of the book and it was the only book he ever downloaded onto his iPad…

Out of body experience twice, and auras frequently. Auras are common in people who have seizures, they can before a seizure and also have a feeling of deja vu. You basically know it is coming before it happens.

Lots of fascinating experiences mentioned here that i wish i could experience out of curiosity. I still think that before looking outward into the universe, we have to rule out that it’s not solely caused within our own neural network.

I was clinically dead for a short period on Oct. 19, 1996. It was enough to lead me to make major changes in my life. Death of this body is NOT the end of our existence.

Two near death experiences and one I was actually dead on way into operating theatre!

Discover what has been hidden from you…

THE UNDERGROUND KNOWLEDGE SERIES I-V  comprises the following books:

GENIUS INTELLIGENCE: Secret Techniques and Technologies to Increase IQ

This book (with foreword by leading scientist Dr. Takaaki Musha) shatters the myth that geniuses are born not developed. It reveals how most instances of above-the-ordinary intelligences are acquired thru superior cognitive techniques or brain enhancing technologies. Drawing on the latest findings in neuroscience, it lists dozens of practical methods to increase IQ and speed-learn any subject. Among the discoveries shared are brain waves common to geniuses and various ways to induce those brain waves.

ANTIGRAVITY PROPULSION: Human or Alien Technologies?

A far-reaching exploration into the UFO phenomenon (with foreword by advanced interstellar propulsion systems expert Grant Hayman and afterword by leading scientist Dr. Takaaki Musha) that covers all possible scenarios and discounts nothing. It includes never-before-mentioned accounts of popular UFO topics like Area 51, Roswell and alien abduction claims, and lesser known subjects such as Nazi and Japanese antigravity experiments.

MEDICAL INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX: The $ickness Industry, Big Pharma and Suppressed Cures

An explosive book (with afterword by retired pharmacist Denis Toovey) that explores the contention Big Pharma and other participants in the healthcare sector put profits ahead of patients’ wellbeing and dollars ahead of lives. This no-holds barred critique of mainstream medicine urges readers to stop giving away complete responsibility to doctors and other healthcare providers, and to take more responsibility for their own health.

THE CATCHER IN THE RYE ENIGMA: J.D. Salinger’s Mind Control Triggering Device or a Coincidental Literary Obsession of Criminals?

This book unearths the mysteries surrounding arguably the most controversial book of all time – J.D. Salinger’s 1951 novel The Catcher in the Rye. It examines the theory that, in league with the CIA, coded messages were implanted in that novel, inspiring some of the most infamous crimes of the 20th Century…including the murder of John Lennon and the attempted assassination of President Reagan.

INTERNATIONAL BANKSTER$: The Global Banking Elite Exposed and the Case for Restructuring Capitalism

This book identifies who is responsible for the gigantic financial gulf that separates the top 1% of the population from the common people, or the 99%. The financial overlords named and shamed include the powerbrokers at Wall Street banks, European central banks, the US Federal Reserve and the Vatican Bank, as well as elite banking dynasties. The authors also propose ideas for creating a fairer economic system.
