Science Unshackled | Restoring Causality in a World of Chaos

Posted October 21, 2024 – for those who read

Science Unshackled | Restoring Causality in a World of Chaos | November 2023, Paperback: 275 pages | By Matthew Ehret

As a young student of Math and Philosophy, I noted many unanswered questions I just didn’t have time or resources to explore further.  These questions were swept aside to focus on learning the proscribed materials provided by the university.    Decades passed since that time and now I have the grand opportunity to revisit many of these inconsistencies and counter-patterns that stuck in my mind like a splinter:

“You’ve felt it your entire life, that there’s something wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is, but it’s there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad.” – Morpheus (from The Matrix).

Matt’s treatment of the ‘Leibniz–Newton calculus controversy’ was enlightening and helpful: As a young math student, I often wondered why Newton got all the credit.  I also enjoyed understanding the roots of our current science can be traced back to Aristotle and why Plato would have been the better choice.

Matt makes many references to Plato’s Timaeus and Critias.  My first instinct was to save time and read or listen to established ‘scholars’ opinions on this piece, but I am thankful I read it afresh –trusting myself– without peering through the lenses and guidance of established ‘experts’.   I also skipped the introduction after reading some 20 pages which turned out to be a great decision.  The dialogue starts to gain some traction at ‘3. Prelude’. The distinction between being and becoming; the world has come into being as a likeness of eternal being; our account of it can therefore be no more than ‘likely’.)  TIMAEUS: We must in my opinion begin by making the following distinctions. What is that which always is, and has no becoming, and what is that which is always becoming but never in any way is?” 

Matt also exposes the anthropogenic climate change fiction brilliantly and concisely in Chapter 8.

Sit back and enjoy as Matt exposes the reader to a deeper understanding of our history, art, science, philosophy and geopolitics; and how they have worked together to create today’s World of Chaos.  -db

Back cover: 

“Matthew’s book is a fascinating journey that navigates the evolution of science and soul; science and soul as seen through the eyes and works of the many creative and destructive facets of man himself.” – Jessica Rose, PhD

“Matt Ehret manages to provide a systematic overhaul of basic foundations for the concept of Science as a constructive force for the good of humanity, unshackling it from the political use as a ‘Science of Limits’, Science Unshackled will open your eyes to help you in connecting the dots.” –Uwe Alschner, PhD

“This book should be of interest of anyone willing to know about the clashes of worldviews, different paradigms in science and in society in general. Even if you do not agree with all of Ehret’s points of view, this work will make you reflect about most of modern science, to question what appears of the media and in the textbooks. You can become a more critical thinker, which is one of the important things a good book can bring about.”  –Andre Koch Torres Assis PhD

“Science Unshackled is a work of universal importance that can inspire a renaissance in our approach not only to science but to economics, politics, and education.” – Richard C. Cook (former U.S. government analyst, NASA whistleblower and author, Our Country, then and Now

“I encourage people to read this book, and take advantage of each of the chapters to do their own research, and begin their own discoveries.” –John Plaice, PhD

“ This book leaves me with a brand new way to look at, understand and think about science – a new worldview.”  -Tanyss Munro, PhD

“The book weaves together concepts which have been systematically compartmentalized: math, science, history, philosophy and art, by a ruling class which has no love for humanity. Ehret thoroughly exposes the corruption of science, and offers an introduction to a holistic outlook with potential to unshackle the mind.” –Fox green (Founder of Space Commune)

Disintegration | Indicators of the Coming American Collapse by Andrei Martyanov

Posted August 25, 2024 | For those who read

Disintegration | Indicators of the Coming American Collapse by Andrei Martyanov

Published: 2021 by Clarity Press, Inc. (236 pages).

Andrei Martyanov is a former laboratory director in a commercial aerospace group.  He is a frequent blogger on the US Naval Institute blog, and author of ‘Losing Military Supremacy: the Myopia of American Strategic Planning and The (Real) Revolution in Military Affairs.

Comments

Disintegration brings to the table many causative inputs missed during my second look at history using the corrective lenses provided by the likes of Antony C. Sutton, Quigley, Engdahl, and others.    This book was written after the US-orchestrated Ukrainian putsch in 2014 but before Russia’s SMO, so represents a snapshot of that time (2021) on the condition of America internally and externally.  The trajectory of destruction is well referenced and documented with many footnotes.  Since 2021, this self-inflicted death spin of corruption, incompetence and information manipulation has only gotten worse.   This is not just another depressing book designed to list the many failures of America, this book brings new insight and evidence of the primary causes that put this great country on the path of disintegration.  –ClearNFO

“Martyanov shows that America’s disintegration is irreversible because the ruling elites are an organic part of the calamitous sources of dysfunction that have destroyed the country.”  –PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS

“Andrei Martyanov’s third book discussing the collapse of the U.S. Empire looks into the social and economic phenomena which all contribute to that collapse. Disintegration is a multi-level analysis of the crisis which is now so clearly plaguing the USA of 2021.  I consider Disintegration a “must read” for every U.S. patriot who wants his country to overcome its current difficulties and for every person on the planet who wants to avoid a full-scale war between Russia and/or China and the USA.  Indeed, if you want to get a superb summation of what is really going on in the United States—read all of Martyanov’s books.”  –THE VINEYARD SAKER

You can find Andrei’s informative podcasts and interviews on many popular platforms, including Rokfin, BitChute, Rumble, Odysee, YouTube and many more.

Prologue from Ohrid

by DAVID BROWN | CLEARNFO.com | April 23, 2024

The Prologue of Ohrid: Lives of Saints, Hymns, Reflections, and Homilies for Every Day of the Year

A great addition to my library and daily studies: I can’t wait to get up every morning to read The Prologue from Ohrid.  Truly a fascinating book providing much wisdom, historical context and analysis on the lives of the Saints. A simple and quick two page read each morning and then I’m off to reading the Philokalia and other books of great wisdom.

Daily Format of the Ohrid:

  • Date (day of the year)
  • Brief biography of two or more Saints of the day
  • Hymn of Praise for the above Saint(s)
  • Reflection on the life of the Saint(s) of the day
  • Contemplation
  • Homily

I find it Interesting to compare The Prologue from Ohrid to the much condensed A Daily Calendar of Saints by Fr. Lawrence Farley.  The Prologue provides additional historical depth and context expanding my understanding of the life of our Orthodox Saints, plus the ‘Reflections’ and ‘Homily’ sections are pure gold.  After only four months reading The Prologue daily, I feel I have gained a rich understanding of the lives of the Saints, the evil they faced and the historical times in which they lived and died. -db

What is Logismoi?

by DAVID BROWN | CLEARNFO.com | January 26, 2024

St. Anthony Assaulted by Demons | Considered to be the founder of monasticism, was born in Egypt in 251.

Logismoi is assaultive thoughts or thought forms, not your everyday thoughts. We swim in a sea of thoughts; the Zeitgeist or the culmination of the culture.  Thought forms which are within this Zeitgeist can be assaultive.  They are not harmless.   Thoughts and thought images.  Logismoi are caused by battle with the devil.

There are 5 stages:

  1. Assault – ignore – turn away from it. Don’t have to fight it…swat them like flies buzzing around.   A thought enters our mind… for example to steal some money, lust, etc.  We are not accountable for the strike or the assault.   We have not committed a sin.  We have not done anything except being assaulted.
  2. Interaction – we open a dialogue with the logismoi .. Should I do this or should I do that? Should I steal this money or not? We analyze the risk vs. reward. Slap it down.  No accountability; no sin yet committed.
  3. Consent – defeat … we are accountable. Consent to what the logismoi tempted you to commit. This is the beginning of sin. Guilt.
  4. Captivity – if you can’t free yourself from the previous stage, then there is defeat. You become hostage to the logismoi, next time it comes around with greater force. Becomes a habit that is repeated time and again.
  5. Passion – it takes the grace of the Holy Spirit…prayer, passions to recover who you are. An entrenched reality. You are a captive to destructive acts to yourself and others.  You get rewired and reoriented.  Not a simple matter to deal with.  Capable of reasoning with the mind but the heart can’t escape and you descend into sin.

Assault > Interaction > Consent > Captivity (you become hostage to the logismoi); thus it becomes more and more difficult to resist > Passion / obsession / addiction  – you then participate in ongoing destructive acts … you give a key to your heart to Satan so he can get in and out without effort … Obsessive / Compulsive  – this clouds and darkens the nous.  Takes the grace of the Holy Spirt to recover who you are.  Obey His commandments.  This is spiritual warfare.

Note: When the nous is illuminated it means that it is receiving the energy of God which illumines it. Nous refers to our highest faculty… the “I” that perceives God.

12 Degrees of sins – St. Nicodemus of the Holy Mountain 

  1. Does good, but not in a good manner – mixture of the good with the bad. For example you practice Lent perfectly but only so you can show off.
  2. Idleness in regard of good… not engaged in  actively doing good
  3. Assault of evil because of our carelessness
  4. Coupling with the assault – this is where sin starts – we start playing with sinful thoughts
  5. The struggle which is no struggle
  6. Consent
  7. Sin of the mind
  8. The deed itself
  9. Habit of committing the sin often
  10. Addiction to it
  11. Despair and hopelessness
  12. Suicide – being conquered by despair

The Whole Counsel of God: An Introduction to Your Bible by Stephen De Young

by DAVID BROWN | CLEARNFO.com | June 28, 2023

The Whole Counsel of God: An Introduction to Your Bible by Stephen De Young

Stephen De Young’s excellent book entitled ‘The Whole Counsel of God’ provides the substance and essence missing from many excellent secular studies on the Bible.

Bart Ehrman’s two secular books from an archeological perspective:

  • Lost Christianities: The Battles for Scripture and the Faiths We Never Knew by Bart D. Ehrman
  • Lost Scriptures: Books that Did Not Make It into the New Testament by Bart D. Ehrman

Excerpts: Bible recommendations by Stephen De Young from ‘The Whole Counsel of God: An Introduction to Your Bible’:

English Standard Version (ESV – 2001)

P.96: Since its publication in 2001, the English Standard Version has become very popular and with good reason. It represents the most accurate and readable English rendition of the Hebrew Old Testament and Greek New Testament to date.  It is highly recommended for regular day-to-day reading.

New American Standard Bible (NASB – 1995)

P.97: The New American Standard Bible (NASB) is the English Bible that moves furthest in the direction of formal equivalence, often accomplished at the expense of readability. The Primary effort of the translators was to convey the original text word for word, as well as mirror the grammar and syntax of the original languages. This often does not conform to a good English style. The NASB is therefore helpful as a second translation to be used for study alongside a more readable text.

New English Translation (NET- 2006)

P.97 – 98: Finally, the best English Bible for those interested in a more serious and detailed study is the New English Translation (NET).  The NET was produced by the Biblical Studies Foundation and published by Biblical Studies Press.  In its full-notes edition, it contains the most copious textual notes of any English Bible, giving the reader unparalleled access to the original Manuscripts.

On the Septuagint, Young writes on page 84:

“The best text for the study of the Greek Old Testament in English is the New English Translation of the Septuagint, produced by the International Organization for Septuagint and Cognate Studies (IOSCS) and published by the Society for Biblical Literature, the guild for biblical studies.   This edition has copious notes and introductions to each book discussing the test, the manuscripts, and their history.  Where there are multiple versions of the book in Greek that differ greatly, these are translated in parallel columns for comparison.  The translation is made for literal precision, however, over readability.  While it is excellent for learning more about the Greek Old Testament tradition, it is not ideal for personal devotional use and general reading.”

Ignorance: The Currency of Tyranny

by DAVID BROWN | CLEARNFO.com | December 04, 2022

The tools of control

After 9/11, I took the time to read some history.  Not just any history, but history that is well-sourced and documented by individual researchers who were not part of the established power structure.  What I discovered is not conspiracy theories, but irrefutable conspiracy facts.  Most people who have been educated in our compulsory government school systems; by our universities, news media and entertainment media are unfamiliar with these historical facts.

Hidden History

We have no clue we were ‘lied into’ every war since the US Civil War; and then lied to about who the villains, victims and heroes were — and their motives. We were therefore denied a look at the hidden hands creating and orchestrating these deadly conflicts.  This includes the Spanish-American War, WW1, WW2, Korean War, Vietnam War, Iraq War and all the invasions across the globe killing and maiming millions.

Most do not know you cannot understand WW2 if you don’t understand WW1 and the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution in Russia.  Most do not know our history was corrupted. Most do not know where to find solid, reliable research that will reveal the true history of these conflicts, and so we are left seeing the world through a set of demonstrably false assumptions; agreed to by the collective; created by a well-oiled consensus-generating machine.

We Won’t Fight Another Rich Man’s War!!! – Vietnam Veterans Against the War, circa 1970.

This collective agreement of a false history denies us the ability to see who the real enemies of man are and thus we are herded like livestock into the next rendering pen.


“Whenever the government of the United States shall break up, it will probably be in consequence of a false direction having been given to public opinion. This is the weak point of our defences, and the part to which the enemies of the system will direct all their attacks. Opinion can be so perverted as to cause the false to seem true; the enemy, a friend, and the friend, an enemy; the best interests of the nation to appear insignificant, and trifles of moment; in a word, the right the wrong, and the wrong, the right. In a country where opinion has sway, to seize upon it, is to seize upon power. As it is a rule of humanity that the upright and well-intentioned are comparatively passive, while the designing, dishonest and selfish are the most untiring in their efforts, the danger of public opinion’s getting a false direction is four-fold, since few men think for themselves.”

– James Fenimore Cooper (The American Democrat 1838)


“We believe that the reduction of the citizen to an object of propaganda, private and public, is one of the greatest dangers to democracy. A prevalent notion is that the great mass of the people cannot understand and cannot form an independent judgment upon any matter; they cannot be educated, in the sense of developing their intellectual powers, but they can be bamboozled. The reiteration of slogans, the distortion of the news, the great storm or propaganda that beats upon the citizen twenty-four hours a day all his life long mean either that democracy must fall a prey to the loudest and most persistent propagandists or that the people must save themselves by strengthening their minds so that they can appraise the issues for themselves.” 

From Robert M. Hutchins, page xiii
December 1, 1951
Preface to the Great Books of the Western World.
The Great Conversation


Gradually, by selective breeding, the congenital differences between rulers and ruled will increase until they become almost different species. A revolt of the plebs would become as unthinkable as an organized insurrection of sheep against the practice of eating mutton.

Bertrand Russell The Impact of Science on Society, 1953


My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

Hosea 4:6 KJV


It may be hoped that in time anybody will be able to persuade anybody of anything if he can catch the patient young and is provided by the State with money and equipment.

This subject will make great strides when it is taken up by scientists under a scientific dictatorship. Anaxagoras maintained that snow is black, but no one believed him. The social psychologists of the future will have a number of classes of school children on whom they will try different methods of producing an unshakable conviction that snow is black. Various results will soon be arrived at. First, that the influence of home is obstructive. Second, that not much can be done unless indoctrination begins before the age of ten. Third, that verses set to music and repeatedly intoned are very effective. Fourth, that the opinion that snow is white must be held to show a morbid taste for eccentricity. . . . It is for future scientists to make these maxims precise and discover exactly how much it costs per head to make children believe that snow is black, and how much less it would cost to make them believe it is dark gray.

Bertrand Russell, The Impact of Science on Society
Simon and Schuster, New York, 1953 Page 30:
