The dictionary defines gatekeeper as "a person in charge of a gate, usually to identify, count, supervise, etc., the traffic or flow through it. When I watched Michael Moore's film Fahrenheit 9/11, I didn't have much to say about the evidence, but Michael Moore's conclusions seemed to be highly suspect -- that our air force and intelligence screwed up, that George Bush is just a clueless idiot who is in charge of our nation, etc.
Later, I listened to an interview of Alex Jones with Noam Chomsky. As is sometimes the case, Alex is not exactly on his best behavior towards the end of the interview, but the interview for me really exposed Noam Chomsky, a person I previously admired for his work in linguistics and as a political critic. In the interview, Chomsky expresses his distaste for the current administration and the development of this nation and then he backtracks to defend it towards the end. Chomsky is very elegant with words. He reminds me of Alan Greenspan who could make a long speech with quite a few points but leave many people scratching his head at the end as to the meat of his points. In this case, I see Chomsky acting as an intellectual gatekeeper because there are few who would have the intelligence to debate his facts. The interview is available at

Since then, I've noticed quite a few other gatekeepers. As I see it, there are many people like us on Avalon who have somewhat of a consensus on certain issues: 9/11 is a fraud, the economy is going down for the count, knowledge that tyranny is increasing on a worldwide scale, and knowledge of the plans and details to implement world currency/world government. I've seen some debate on the details for these topics, but I haven't heard any intelligible argument here or elsewhere that these things aren't happening.
The way I see it is the purpose of a gatekeeper is to take someone's viewpoints and influence them to where they conclude that everything is ok and the government is doing it's job and there is no need to do anything that might upset the system. In other words, stay in your seat and don't rock the boat!
The mainstream media is the gatekeeper for the profane. For us who know a little bit more, they must get a little bit more creative. Here's some ideas for bringing people who have above knowledge of these issues back to the status quo:
1) We will all ascend in 2012. No need to worry or do anything, since those of us who are spiritually "advanced" and at a "higher vibration" will simply leave this planet and move into 4D/5D.
2) TPTB are really being controlled by the Reptilians and are doing their job to save humanity with the upcoming spacewars in order to free the human race from those ETs.
3) The ETs will save us or provide assistance to us.
4) TPTB is comprised of many fighting factions and the good side will eventually prevail.
I'd like to address these issues one at a time and hear from anyone with additional information and differing opinions.
The Ascension Issue:
I've heard estimates from the proponents of the ascension that 20-33% of the human population will be ascending. Most of these say that we are becoming accustomed to the new energies that are helping in the ascension process. If this is the case, we have just less than 3 years for the ascension process. For the so-called leaders of the ascension process, most seem to skimp on details. For example: will we leave our physical body and then ascend into 4D/5D? Do we bring our physical body into 4D/5D? If so, will we just start seeing people disappearing or might we in fact disappear ourselves?
Here's my take: we have no proof that this process has ever happened before. Perhaps some of the descendents of Atlantis and Mu did in fact ascend, but we have no proof. Another issue is that if the Earth and its people are going to get back to balance, it will require leaders in 3D -- i.e. the people who would be ascending. Another issue is that all of us have built-up karma here. How can any of us ascend when we are not fully complete -- i.e. when we still have substantial remaining karma? Last, and this is the part that always sticks in my mind: are we really waking people up? I'll use myself as an example here: until about 4 years ago, I was not completely aware of all of the issues "behind the scenes" so to speak, but I wasn't a sheeple. I was as aware as I am now, but I was lacking the information on the occult agenda that is being implemented. Many of the awake and aware people I've met here on Avalon and in person seem to be the same way -- they weren't ever sheeple, but they just didn't know how far the down the rabbit hole this whole thing goes. Yes, we are growing to be many in numbers, but we are still a minority. Most of the people I know are completely clueless and don't want to know anything beyond their viewpoints. Can someone ascend if they are in denial?
Per the David Wilcock thread, it appears he was promoting ascension as an event that would occur in the year 2000. Is this just a meme that goes across the internet? If we don’t ascend in 2012, will they start promoting ascension in 2020?
When I look back in history, I see two times that provide a historical precedent for the current times: pre-WWII Germany and the American Revolution. In the US, we have both a rotting economy and a fast implementation of tyranny/fascism. During the Revolution, only 3% of the colonists fought against King George's men. There are groups right now like the 3%ers and the Oath Keepers. My point is that in this current environment, how is it possible there will be an opportunity for 20%-33% to go from their current state (sheeple) to ascension status in less than 3 years?
TPTB Are Controlled By Reptilians:
All of the literature on this suggests that contact between the US government and certain ET races happened around the 1950s or 1960s. In order for this to be true, it must be the case that TPTB were at one time not controlled by the reptilians, certainly in the 19th and 20th centuries and that they have altered their plans as a result of their contact with the reptilians or negative “ETs”.
One issue is the story of Jacob Lanz, a courier who was struck by lightning and killed while delivering papers for the Bavarian Illuminati. Upon his death, details of the world government plan were revealed to the authorities.

This is the whole event that caused the “disbanding” of the Illuminati that many people are familiar with from the movie Angels & Demons, which of course was followed by the establishment of secret societies to continue out the mission.
Another issue is the work of Manly P. Hall and the secret origins of America. The thesis for much of his work is that during the establishment of America, there were Freemasons on both sides guiding the plan of the creation of America as a world superpower. Once America had established world dominance, it could be used as a tool to establish world government.

With all of this information, where is there any room left for a secret reptilian agenda? Aren’t they doing exactly what they said they would do prior to the “reptilian influence”?
ETs Will Provide Assistance:
Is there any evidence to this one? After all of the genocides and wars and plagues that have hit humanity, why would they help us? Of course, this doesn’t take into effect that fact that we are collectively responsible for 100% of the mess we are in right now. In other words, even if they wanted to intervene, how could they shield us from our own karma? And even if they could, why would they? Are we somehow special, as in more special than people who lived on planet Earth at other times in history?
TPTB is Comprised of Fighting Factions
In order for "good" to prevail, someone must give up their power. In many ways, the history of the world is just a series of power struggles between liberty and tyranny (the individual and the government) or between nations. In the past, I can’t recall one single historical precedent where a member of the privileged elite gave up what they had for truly altruistic purposes. Think of it this way: for the common man, it may well be a good idea that all men are created equal and to have a sense of equality but for a privileged elite, the idea of equality means you must give up what you have: the ability to command others to serve you, the ownership of your property and your entire lifestyle. In other words, equality cannot exist so long as there are people who exist as parasites at the top. And for the parasites, why would they give up their power without a good fight?
