Experience has demonstrated that nothing is instantaneous in the physical Universe and that things are oriented on a time scale. It was not that long ago that light was thought to be instantaneous and that all star light was instantaneously and simultaneously reaching earth regardless of the star’s distance away from earth. We now know that light travels at ~670 million mph ….. fast but not instantaneous. When we observe familiar groups of stars like the Big Dipper, Orion, etc they appear as if they were in a flat plane (plane geometry conditioned reflex) equal distant from us, but as we now know, they are at vastly different distances from earth and that the light we’re seeing from each star took vastly different times to reach us (partially overlapping) and that the star radiating the light might not actual be there anymore (scenario). Of our senses, sight is the fastest (~880K times faster than sound) and packs the most information (just to be clear, when you see a tree, although closer than a star, it’s not instantaneous it’s from the past), sound is ~760 mph (on earth) with less information, and smell touch and taste are very much less.
As a side note it’s important to note that our five senses are just that, sensors, as we have never experienced anything out side of ourselves (might be in part why video realism is so absorbing, it’s a cool new sensor). Before the late 1800 our reality was what our five senses/sensors told us it was but we’ve now discovered that 99.999% of reality is invisible and can not be tuned in by our five senses, it can only be tune in by math, science, instruments, etc. As an example there are radio waves all around you but you can’t pick them up unless you have a radio that can tune into them and convert them to a frequency of sound that your hearing can pick up. A very low percentage of the population understands math and science so they will never see the trend/change coming at them and will unfortunately back up into and future, lagging the event (late to the game).
Lag times are also part of our social economic life. For example the lag time between invention and application is ~2 years for electronics, ~5 years for aeronautics, ~25 years for commercial building, and ~50 years for single family buildings. It’s interesting to note that where expert opinion, tradition, unions, monopoly, (schemers) etc are predominate over math, science, and logic, lag times increase. Lag times can increase in complexity, as for a simple example in the mining of metals, the output could be varied/distributed over time, perhaps like a simple bell curve due to issues pertaining to price, labor, etc, and when that metal returns back as scrap in a ~21.5 year cycle (combined average) it comes back in a more complex pattern altered by events like being diverted to create scarcity. When you have thousands/millions/billions of independent actors affecting the subject matter of your analysis, simple narratives/causal relationships give way to complexity which tends to increase lag times. High frequency trading is just an exploitation of ones longer lag time; a second could be an eternity.
Once a corporation sinks capital cost into a mass production line it is almost impossible to get new technologies/innovation upgrades integrated, the conditioned reflex is to “Milk It” (the company Lawyers won’t allow the CEO to do anything that jeopardizes share holder return). The Department of War found this out initially using the auto industry for the WW II aviation build up. The Milk it lag time could last a long time before its abandoned, fear and profit are powerful motivators. The benefit needs to be sufficiently reduced before abandonment; it needs to be played out. Individual action is no different; we act in our own best interest. At such time when the system’s rate of growth/return/beneficent is in mid-decline the individuals, groups, and businesses (heretics) peeling off early from the declining system reach a critical mass (often times less than 20%) and then the leveraged system starts to fail a little at a time then all at once.
We were born into the current social/economic structure and depending on where we checked in at our feeling/physiognomy of what’s normal/what works evolves for each generational time step. At each time step we collectively tend to maintain the inertia of what’s normal (like the sunk capital cost in a production line) until such time (lag time) that it’s to far removed form the current normal/reality that it doesn’t work and is abandon. Early peeling off seems more favorable than to holding on right up to the abandonment.
It may be that the power of holding on is under estimated/discounted and can unexpectedly extend the lag time of a declining system through (as one example) the collective coercion of the majority to realign the peeled off heretics back into the system. Another aspect of unexpectedly extended lag times can be summed up from a quote from Voltaire “I am very fond of the truth, but not at all of martyrdom”.
Outside of me, you’re the first person I’m aware of that ever mentioned the “Speed of Sight”… I always figured, it wss much faster than the “Speed of Light”…
Anyway, I’ll share with you, one of my original quotes pertaining to God and Time…
The Present bears witness of the Past, and the Future shall make all things clear…
In other words…
The Son bears witness of the Father, and the Holy Spirit shall make all things clear…
The present is a conceit; the present is always the past because there is always a lag in our senses and perception. Even the past and future can be relative, an observer can only ever have a delayed view; even the fastest instruments.
I regarded religion as a silly distraction from observing actual being, and having will to act or not act, the consequences are up to “cruel” nature, not some god. We make our own paradise, mundane or hell, and even those are only relative and temporary.
From what we know of time, the Past, Present and Future all exist within the smallest possible fraction of a second… There’s no real space between the Three… In other words, the Three are One…

Hey Chris,
Just wanted to take a moment out of my life to thank you for all the life changing decisions/events that have occurred because of the information you've brought to the forefront when I discovered you, DTOM, & the SOL academy.
I shunned the psychopaths in my life, closed my facebook, took every hour of free time to see the academy and read A LOT (a first for me), learned that I have a deep innate thirst for knowledge and teaching, jumped head first on topics I would have NEVER taken an interest in if not for waking up (finance, economics, politics, psychology, to name a few), and view everything in a completely different, but forward thinking and more intricate way.
What you say is so true ... "once your eyes are open, you can never close them again" - EVER.
The magnitude of all the changes that I've made in my life because of the SOL academy are so huge that I can't even begin to put a word on it. It's like a golden seed of life, love & truth, planted in my mind that is making me realize what does matter, what is real, and what I want be at the end of the day to myself, loved ones, and the world.
Hope you're having a well-deserved and wonderful time with your family. A toast to you, the individuals in our group, and all the great and positive things to come despite such times.
Peace.
- Irving A.

You really need to sign up at the Sons Of Liberty Academy! I have been researching, as Chris has, for the last 5 years and have found out many things that have really changed my way of thinking! After signing up with Chris I have learned a lot more and he has vilified that which I have already learned!
Check it out!
He will BLOW your mind and secure your future! Chris Duane ROCKS!!!

I just finished the 10 modules of the Sons of Liberty Academy. I have never been so educated and aware, in such a short time.
I now have a game plan and see my role more clearly. It all makes sense.
It is very important to understand what is going on in our world and how to fight against it most effectively.
45 hours of video is a lot of information (I spend 3 weeks day and night, going through the course).
I would look for information on my own and it would take me a lot of time but to have it done and just to be able to build on that is great.
I do appreciate it to be free otherwise I would not be able to take it.
Thanks;
Raj

I just wanted to drop you a note and thank you. I've been studying the Academy, about to start module 5.
The information I've observed to this point has opened my mind to new ideas, and also reaffirmed some beliefs I've always had. I feel a tremendous sense of confidence now, the fear is subsiding, and I'm excited to complete the Academy and find the direction I can take with my future, as well as my friends and family.
As Bill Hicks said, the next revolution will be a revolution of ideas. I'm glad to be a part of this program.
Many thanks,
Michael

"Silver Shield,
The Sons of Liberty Academy is really fantastic! I highly recommend the Academy and the hard work and dedication to the truth that Silver Shield has put forth for defenders of Freedom and Liberty.
The betrayal of the Tea Party loyalist is becoming evident. A rebellion is brewing day by day, and the Power Elite have every right to be very worried.
Awaken People don't be fooled again! Join the Academy.."

My only regret is that I did not have this knowledge 20 years ago. The Sons of Liberty Academy is truly life changing.
If anyone is on the fence about joining the Academy, I will tell them they are doing themselves, their family and the country a injustice by not taking it.
Don’t let the money stand in the way, the course is invaluable and will pay for it self many times over with the finance info within the course.
I have two masters degrees and the Sons of Liberty Academy has been of greater benefit than all the “formal” education I have received.
Thanks Chris! You are a true Patriot and hero! -Randy H.

"I am very excited about what I've learned so far! I have 3 more modules to complete. I've gone through a few of them twice, especially when there is history discussed. I find that very interesting. I am going to run through the entire Academy again, and review all the additional materials linked below the videos. There is so, so much information. Thank you for your hard work putting this together.
I am spreading the word."

"I have just finished watching Module Six and continue to be amazed at the deception perpetrated on the American people.
I applaud your work and thank you sincerely for these eye-opening truths you have laid out.
I never had an interest in politics or our monetary system because it seemed too confusing, however, the simple way it is taught in the Academy has far surpassed any education I have received in my 35 years on this earth."

"In just a few short months, I've gone from being a skeptic to being a believer.
I'm a born-again Christian, a veteran, and a patriot, but I'm also a realist.
I now prep and am protecting my assets.
DTOM has played a big part in my new education.
Heck, I love the T-shirts, too!
Thanks for doing a great job. Now I Get It!!!!"

Thank you for giving me the wisdom of awareness.
I have been sharing it with others, but there are so many more to reach. I am not afraid of the changes we will soon see, but confident that I am prepared to handle them. We are building a strong group here in my area and have shared your website with several key people of influence here.
Thank God I found you and took the time to go through the Academy. At the risk of sounding overly dramatic, my life will never be the same, and for that I am very grateful.
