Conspiracy Across Worldviews: An In-depth Answer to a Worthy Question

When THRIVE came out in 2011 most of our friends and family thought we’d lost it. Now, 14 years later, there are a few left who still do.

To his major credit, one of them, a dear friend who thinks we got completely duped and that we have dangerously contributed to the political polarity around the world by our ridiculous “conspiracy theories,” actually wrote to me recently with a real question…

“What do you think were the downstream benefits to society as a result of the Thrive movement?”

I saw this was a rare opening, so I wrote a lengthy response. I include the relevant portions here in case they might provide some value in your own challenging interactions.

Dear Mr. X,

I am very happy that you have asked me this question. Thank you.

As preamble, my purpose in life is to every day discover more and more how to live in the light of thriving and to share, with whomever is interested, whatever information, principles and strategies I discover as valid. My two decades of work on the Thrive Movement, our two feature films, hundreds of blogs, thousands of solutions groups and six years of online shows are an expression of that.

Benefits

So, what do I see as “the downstream benefits to society… the positive effects, big or small… of the Thrive movement?” In reaching well over a hundred million people with consistent and coherent messaging over 15 years, I believe we have played an important role, along with many other skilled and courageous truth seekers, in awakening a critical mass of humanity to the subterfuge of the agenda for global domination, and accompanying all of the emotionally challenging news with thought-through solutions strategies and tactics.

We have shone the light on the realization that Principles — not Politics — are the way out of our lethal mess, and that begins with identifying the Non-Aggression Principle as the basis for what has been most dangerously missing throughout human history — a Universal Morality.

From this follows free speech, voluntary markets, honest money, private property, informed consent, and the right to self-defense — all of which has been covertly under attack for centuries.

I believe our efforts have given solid information and grounded hope to many millions, especially to so-called “liberals” in the Consciousness Movement, who have made up approximately 70% of our network. We have received thousands of thank-you messages and testimonials to that effect and that continues to this day.

I believe we have helped vast numbers of people to graduate beyond “institutionalism.” That is — the blind trust in large traditional institutions, be they government, corporate, banking, media, social justice, medical, scientific, or otherwise. Mike Benz provided Joe Rogan recently with thorough documented proof that the deep state insiders had consciously changed the definition of democracy in America from “one person, one vote” to “protecting belief in the trustworthiness of traditional institutions.”

The cabal of would-be controllers has been counting on that to dupe the masses through the Federal Reserve, the UN, the WEF, the WHO, the CIA/FBI, the BIS, the CDC, NIH, AMA and FDA and more. Virtually every single one of these organizations has now been proven to be deeply corrupt, dangerous, and to be major players in the agenda for a one-world totalitarian government promoted by secret societies like the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), the Trilateral Commission (TC), the Tavistock Group, the Round Table, the Committee of 300, the Illuminati, Opus Dei and the Bilderberg Group. This evidence is readily available for anyone who is willing to research beyond traditional propaganda outlets.

Evidence

We had over 60 “radical” claims in the first THRIVE film, which we paid unbiased experts for months to fact check. 14 years later, not a single one has been successfully disproven. I recently wrote a blog summarizing this update, but in a nutshell, we accurately warned people about:

1. Massive surveillance of our own citizenry — later confirmed by Ed Snowden
2. FEMA containment preparing for pandemics and citizen uprising — confirmed in the US and Australia
3. DEWs (Directed Energy Weapons) being used to start destructive fires, followed by confiscation — confirmed in Talent OR, Paradise CA, Lahaina HI, Canada, and Australia (lots of video evidence and my first-hand questioning of one of the most highly respected fire-fighters in the US — who was personally flown in to inspect most of these sites)
4. The NWO (New World Order) one world government plot masking itself as the Great Reset, globalism, Agenda 21/30, the WHO Pandemic Treaty, the Trans-Pacific Partnership and more
5. The Club of Rome’s Climate Scam intended to legalize, fund and enforce the One World Government
6. Chemtrails — now acknowledged by numerous governments and over 90 patents and bills emerging to ban them in Florida and other states
7. Glyphosate pesticides
8. Fluoride in drinking water
9. GMOs
10. Man-made pandemics
11. Toxic vaccines
12. Targeted irradiation (5G, DEWs, Airport screeners)
13. The Depopulation Agenda — confirmed in writing by Kissinger, Gates, etc.
14. UFO and ETs — Now confirmed by the US Government, CNN, the NYT, the Vatican and numerous whistleblowers
15. Awareness of new, cleaner ways to access energy and the suppression of more than 30 New Energy Inventors as well as confiscation by the USG of more than 5,000 patent applications

We will never be able to know the exact impact of our work, but are there any useful indicators?

I hesitate to share these lest it be misunderstood as bragging or self-centered, but this is a moment when you are actually asking, so I need to say just a few things.

Acknowledgement

Two years ago, just as Kimberly and I were semi-retiring, I was asked to give a keynote address to thousands of people at the Conscious Life Expo in Los Angeles. A decade earlier, we had been invited to present on our Solutions Hub at the same conference and at least two speakers, including John Robbins, tried unsuccessfully to have people boycott us. Then, 10 years later, the Expo had an entire theme with its own auditorium called Down the Rabbit Hole. It was the most popular set of programs, with its own auditorium and continual standing room only audiences. After my address, someone stood in the audience and spoke for the group in thanking Kimberly and me for being the “grandparents of the merger of the Consciousness and Truth movements.” I was instantly moved to tears. That was my diploma, because Kimberly and I had quietly held that as one of our major goals for 20 years. The Consciousness Movement has needed more truth and the Truth Movement has needed more consciousness. These groups are both huge forces that are now joining. Informal estimates by conference organizers indicated that about 80% of the audience — mostly California liberals — were now quite aware of the global domination agenda and working to expose and stop it.

One poll of our network, a couple of years ago, revealed the top three catalysts for awakening the responders was the assassination of JFK, 9/11, and the first THRIVE movie. This was hugely satisfying to me, because we spent many years, 24/7, in “warrior mode,” trying to create responsible, grounded, well researched and emotionally calm media that would save billions of people the time that it took us and others to look behind-the-scenes in every sector to find out what was really in the way of humanity thriving — and what we could do about it. I will die with a smile on my face and peace in my heart, knowing that our efforts were valid and impactful in helping to awaken humanity before we might have found ourselves in a totalitarian communist/fascist techno-tyranny — a modern, global version of Hitler’s Germany, Stalin’s Soviet Union or Mao’s China.

We wanted to warn whoever was ready, in one 2-hour sitting, that all of these are connected parts of a very destructive agenda on the part of a relatively small group of international central bankers, politicians, Intelligence agents, media frauds and technocrats hell-bent on controlling the world. Most of the areas had been addressed by some book or documentary, but the need we saw was for the dots to finally be connected.

We had no idea if humanity was ready for such a communication, but it went viral from the first day, became one of the most widely seen feature documentaries in history, and is still being seen by over 100,000 people a month in 27 languages.

So, probably the single greatest benefit has been the existence and spread of movies and a movement that played a role in the awakening of, by some estimates, about one third of humanity now, to see through and begin to alter course away from deception and coercion in every major sector of human endeavor.

Dominoes

This has helped lead to the ongoing collapse of what I call the “Dominoes of Destiny.” By that I mean that the COVID-19 bio-weapon attack has awakened something close to 2 billion people of the 5+ billion who got the shots. Virtually everything I warned of in my 2020 paper has been proven true. That whole narrative is now collapsing as millions are injured or dying from the jabs. (I have 3 close friends whose children have died within 5 days of the jab.)

That is Domino Number One, and it is falling into Domino Number Two, the Man-made Global Warming scam, whose hidden agenda is now getting revealed and for which every single climate model predicting disaster has proven dramatically inaccurate.

The collapse of the Global Warming, Climate Change, Climate Disruption ruse is now tipping into Domino Number Three — global child trafficking and the use of secretly recorded pedophilia to control powerful people through blackmail tapes. (Saville, Epstein, Diddy…)

The Fourth Domino that is starting to fall is the gigantic global fake money scheme by which the international banking cabal has come very close to taking over the world. Only two major countries now are not based on the Rothschild central banking system of fake fiat money and fake fractional reserve lending (Iran and N. Korea — both now in the cross-hairs). The growing horror across the globe at the brutal genocide of innocents in Gaza is finally shining a spotlight on the power of Israel over the US government, the hidden history of the creation of the state of Israel by the Rothschilds (as a hub for global takeover of money and oil), and the workings of the biased and fraudulent money system which has allowed the global perpetrators to get so close to complete domination.

When this Fourth Domino falls, then I believe that a critical mass of people will be ready to finally ask “How did such a small number of people get such complete control over money, and therefore over all of us?” This will lead to the Fifth and final Domino in this set — the Myth of Authority itself. This is the notion that a few people — or even a majority — should rule the rest of us, into which we are indoctrinated from nursery school through graduate school and then in corporate media. The falling of these dominoes will set humanity free to thrive, and how we do that has been the subject of my entire life’s work and will be elucidated in my upcoming book, beyond being the punchline of both of our films and most of my articles.

Conspiracies

I recognize that you think most “conspiracy theories” are BS, even though you acknowledge much corruption and admit there is some conspiracy. The CIA created the term in 1967 to deflect skepticism about the JFK Warren Commission report. To this day they call it their most effective propaganda campaign, and I think you have been deluded by it to the extent that you seem to feel our two decades of disclosure has been worse than useless — harmful in fact. I say you simply have been unwilling to do your homework. Of course, there are ridiculous and false conspiracy theories — some just stupid and some created by corrupt institutions themselves to dilute the validity of the real ones.

We got to stand on the shoulders of courageous prior researchers like David Icke, Alex Jones, Anthony Sutton, H. G. Wells, Caroll Quigley, George Orwell, Aldus Huxley, Michael Ruppert, John Gatto, Michael Talbot, Gary Allen, Alexander Solzhenitzyn, Fritz Springmeyer, John Coleman, Ludwig Von Mises, Murray Rothbard and G. Edward Griffin. They have all passed the test of time and validation.

My generation includes James Corbett, William Engdahl, Sacha Stone, Sean Stone, Lew Rockwell, Patrick Wood, Ryan Christian, Derrick Broze, John Bush, Matthew Ehret and many others. When I had Whitney Webb — one of the greatest investigative journalists of our era — on my show, she shocked me by saying that it was watching THRIVE that woke her up and started her career. (Another “benefit.”)

We have all been doing diligent research as best we could, but now another whole wave is emerging of actual insiders who are blowing the whistle on what they witnessed first-hand. Catherine Austin Fitts was one of the first of these, and now people like Mike Benz, John Kiriakou, Scott Ritter, David Grusch, MK-Ultra survivors Cathy O’Brien, Anneke Lukas, Serena Faith-Masterson and others are providing first-hand validation in sector after sector of psychopathic collusion at the highest and most complex levels. Not just conspiracy theory, or conspiracy analysis…but conspiracy fact.

Truth and Freedom

I am thrilled that I got to live long enough to see the vast movement away from all of the fake news sponsored by pharmaceuticals, banks and governments to independent truth seekers who demonstrate their true colors over time by being mostly accurate, not influenced by financial sponsors, willing to change their minds when proven wrong, and willing to go up against threatening forces to get critical facts and accurate interpretations out to humanity. Now CNN is lucky to have a million viewers in their entire primetime evening lineup, while Joe Rogan, Tucker Carlson, Dave Smith, Matt Taibbi, Russell Brand, Candace Owens, Lex Fridman, Jimmy Dore, Glenn Greenwald, Shawn Ryan, Tim Pool and others are having long-form truth reveals in front of 3 to 50 million people at a time. To me, that is now unstoppable and will help save humanity.

Now these podcasters seldom go through even a single show (with comedians, MMA fighters, scientists, economists, politicians…) without discussing emerging revelations of covert agendas. They’re not all doing this because they saw THRIVE and were deluded by Foster’s wacky ideas. They’re doing it because there is a more and more truthful narrative that is emerging consistently and that’s ultimately what free human beings want to know. This is the nature of our reality, and the better we understand it, the more likely we are to survive and thrive. That is why these podcasts are surging. It’s not because of clever marketing or charismatic personalities, but because humans are wired to protect ourselves and our loved ones, and one by one humans are awakening beyond their fears of losing tribal acceptance and going for real, raw situational awareness.

In my estimation, Tucker is about 30% of the way to the realizations that other in-depth researchers and I have come to. I think Joe and Matt are about 60% of the way there. This makes sense as Joe has been into this for about 3 years, Tucker only a year and a half since he was fired and could truly investigate and speak freely. I have been at it for about 30 years. I didn’t find what I wanted to find. I found what held up over time as consistent and true.

This is also why former Democrats like Kimberly, myself, Bobby Kennedy Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, Dave Rubin, Jillian Michaels, Joe Rogan, Russell Brand, Glenn Greenwald, Michael Shellenberger, Michael Rechtenwald, Larken Rose and on and on… have left the Democratic Party — because what used to be a stand for equality, free speech and peace was taken over by the globalists and the CCP and became the party of censorship, equity (DEI), war, fraud, identity politics, race baiting, violence and child grooming.

This is not coincidence. This was part of the Cloward/Piven strategy, and the tactics of Saul Alinsky in his Rules for Radicals. One of Alinsky’s guidelines is to “accuse the enemy of exactly what you yourself are doing.” I believe you have been inadvertently doing just that with me in your accusations of gullibility, confirmation bias, arrogance, polarization etc.

These are two of the operating manuals for the violent and deceptive approach to controlling humans into which so many well intended liberals have been lured. Hollywood, the education system, and most of the US government were all intentionally taken over by the social Marxists in the huge woke scheme to turn America communist. This is laid out in a famous interview from the 80s by a refugee — Yuri Bezmenov — from the Soviet KGB. This agenda pits classes and races against each other and spreads Postmodernism — the nihilistic philosophy that all truth and all morality are relative… and therefore it doesn’t matter what you believe or what you do. The Alinsky rules prescribe lies, manipulation, censorship and violence to turn the society socialist in preparation for full on state control through communism. I am not exaggerating. You and I share so many values in our vision for humanity… and our strategies for fulfilling them are very different because of our different sources of information (here are a couple hundred of mine) and different depths of historical and strategic knowledge.

Bubbles

If you stay in the bubble of NYT, New Yorker, Google, WaPo, NPR, CNN, MSNBC, Politico, the Atlantic, Blue Sky etc., you can literally mistake what’s really going on… and end up on the wrong side of history — supporting censorship, mandates, war, identity politics, polarization, communism etc.

Every day I watch CNN, MSNBC, PBS, etc. I read the CFR’s Foreign Affairs. I see much of what you are relying on. I could easily “steel man” your perspective. I wonder if you could do the same for mine.

So why would anyone, like yourself, not want to know enough to step outside of their homogeneous info bubble to explore the potential coherence of alternate narratives?

This is an important and very real question, because on the front end, we are certainly not delivering cheerful good news. So, actually opening one’s mind to the potential realities that we have been conveying is first of all a deeply emotional challenge, then a daunting intellectual puzzle to solve, then psychologically a threat to the worldview that constitutes for most people their very sense of who they are. And finally, perhaps most importantly, the fear of being ostracized by one’s tribe seems in numerous studies to be often more significant than the fear of death itself. It is very true for most people that as they come to grips with the actual unfolding global scenario, they may well lose their job, many or most of their friends, their old reputation and their sense of self. That is a lot to ask of anyone. That is why I do not try to push my perspective on people who do not want to hear what I have to offer. I now ask most often, “Where do you get your news?” and “Would you be willing to entertain a perspective very different from your own that may be more accurate?” If they are not, I usually say “Come back to me if that changes and then let’s talk.”

The best news is that in my experience the people who have made the leap, eventually, to unconditional truth seeking and speaking, end up landing in a tribe that is based on the principles of truth and freedom, rather than on politics, power and popularity. They end up in primary, friend and working relationships that are more relaxed, open and creative because the conversation can go anywhere despite disagreement.

Feelings

On the level of feelings…

I have felt anger about what I see as your un-informed dismissiveness toward so much of our work.

I have felt sadness about the distance you keep between you and me through your unwillingness or inability to have real, in-depth and mutually respectful calm conversations across differences in worldview.

I have felt afraid about you and your wife potentially injuring yourselves and your children through ignorance of the nefarious agenda behind most vaccines, and I have felt afraid about the potential cost to health and personal relations of your censoring differences of opinion and conversation. This is another Saul Alinsky virtue-signaling approach — escalate, censor, leave, and cancel.

Elephant

I think the “elephant in the room” has been your unwillingness and/or inability to actually have these conversations with me in real time. A common denominator I have noticed in your generation, both in your family and mine and many others, is a lack of a conversational space characterized by “I don’t know much about that. What have you learned?” In this era of social media, it seems like most people think they are expected to have a knowledgeable opinion about virtually everything, especially politics and world events. That can be very scary for an uninformed person to feel like they’re on the spot in a discussion where they simply haven’t done much homework. Hence the polarization and other efforts to halt the conversation and shut the other person up.

The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), the Paris Climate Accord, and the WHO Pandemic Treaty were all designed to eliminate individual and national sovereignty, while enshrining the one-world government. We dodged each of those by the skin of our teeth and now we’re starting to head the other direction toward national sovereignty, then state sovereignty, then local sovereignty and ultimately to individual sovereignty which will be the salvation of humanity, in my opinion.

Trans-Political

Remember I am not a political being. I am not a Republican or Democrat. I am not a Conservative or Liberal. I’m not an Independent or a Libertarian and I haven’t voted in 20 years. All of my work has been dedicated to shining the light on natural principles and how we can align with them. That is what I came here for this lifetime and I’m living out my twilight years with a deep sense of satisfaction that in some way I, in partnership with the most amazing human I’ve ever met — my courageous and beloved wife Kimberly — have done our parts to help elucidate and pass on to future generations some core truths: moral, spiritual, and scientific principles by which each of us and our loved ones, our species and our planet may flourish in harmony and be invited into a greater cosmic alliance.

Thank you for asking and for listening.

And I respectfully ask in return, “What have been the downstream benefits to society and to you of your views and actions regarding our situation as a society?”

Sincerely,
Foster

To his credit, Mr. X wrote a respectful response, elucidated his own beneficial impact and we agreed to continue the conversation by email, rather than in person, because it seems to be working.
