AS I AM A BIG BELIEVER in Promoting the work of other people – especially when they are on point and continue to generate Great Work…

I would like to Introduce you to Richard D Hall and his website to all those within my circle (and follow the content I discuss here at The Rollman Revolution)

Richard’s website along with much of his content is available for free via YouTube or directly from RichPlanet.net. If this is the first time you have heard of Mr. Hall, then you are in for a treat.

He has been investigating a broad range of topics for numerous years now -producing many videos/lectures/shows since early 2010 – focusing on (False Flags, Media Manipulation, Phony Journalism, UFOs, 9/11 as well as many other “Controversial Topics“).

Now you may not be interested in all of the work/subjects he covers; however, if you go to his website and check out the large list of his lectures or shows – I can promise you there will be something that will peak your interest.

Richard’s process is all based upon verifiable & factual information (as he is all about following the evidence). Furthermore, if he make’s any opinions or speculates – He will say – “In my opinion…” or “I am speculating here…” (which is almost unheard of within the News and information we receive today)

In a world where everyone is competing for your attention, it becomes very difficult to determine which websites, television programs and/or other written publications to focus on, while avoiding all the others that are just handing out rubbish – designed to keep you in the dark & feeding you shit!

The work that has been done at Richplanet in my opinion is Master Class, and worth your time. So when you have time please check out the links below. If you find his work to be well presented and something that raises your interests – subscribe to his YouTube page and his website,  to keep up to date on all his latest information.

***Thank you Richard for your continued pursuit of Truth within the Content you provide*** 

Namaste my friends.

-David S. Rollman

THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTIONs:

People keep emailing me and asking me David, Do believe in Flat Earth or are you a Flat Earther? So let me put this to bed right now on this page, and I will do a follow up podcast episode in the near future to answer this as well. When I heard about Flat Earth about 2 years ago, I was off the chain apposed to the idea, and would not even consider it worth my time. However, people kept telling me David you need to look into this issue, knowing that I have had been very outspoken and skeptical about NASA for Years. I still to this day believe 90% of the info that comes from NASA and other privet/government controlled agencies is mostly a Nonsense. Furthermore, I do believe that most of those who go to work for NASA, do so for positive reasons. Having said that, “The road to Hell is paved with good intentions”. Most of these folks, set out to do good work, and many in my opinion, are not let in on the BIG SECRETS as most of the work done within Government Controlled entities, is highly compartmentalized!

But as many people knew, that I was not a believer in the Moon missions, and BS that comes out from the scientific community of Government Corporations, figured I would be on board with believing in Flat Earth as well…. and that was not the case when this issue was brought about 2 years ago.

It wasn’t until Jan-Feb 2016, that I was introduced to a man Named Santos Bonacci. I received a video documentary titled “The Awakening of a new wave of Consciousness” (which is still available on YouTube). This film discussed the new age of awakening and Mr Bonacci discussed some very interesting things about Astrology and History, that got me to thinking about The Bible and some of the quotes I remembered in College about Greek philosophy.

This “Dome Firmament” topic, came to mind (as I only recently received a 4 year Lay Pastoral Certification in 2010 from the USCCB when I was involved with Religion to a High degree. I no longer am a believer in Organized Religion or Religious Dogma Practices (which is a different story for another time) but this 4 year certification was the “Linchpin” that allowed me to recall many of the topics that these Greek Philosophers were discussing thousands of years ago. So…with re-reading Genesis from many different Bible translations, I kept reading this “Firmament” being used, which linked me to this future topic called “Flat Earth” for the next 11 months.

So I opened my search page, and typed “The Flat Earth Debate”!!! And I was blown away that there were Hundreds-of-thousands entries (articles, videos, and commentary) covering a topic, that I felt at the time — was a NON-issue. This new discovery, definitely peaked my interest now, as I am an intelligent guy, but to this point knew nothing of this conversation. So what I did next was what any intelligent person would/should do…..I started reading! I read both sides of the issue – those that were saying the Earth is Flat and those who were saying the Earth is a Globe, but the more I read the more questions I started to have. I mean, how could so many people think the Earth is Flat, when Science “proved” over 500 years ago that we were mistaken and we just didn’t have the right know-how at the time to make the discovery we were living on a globe!!?

Regardless, of what I thought back in Jan 2016, I made the decision to really give this issue a look. So being taught at a young age that we all live on a tilted sphere that spins about 1,000 Mph and hurling itself around the Sun at some wicked speeds and the sun as well traveling in the universe even faster… My brain kicked in and just asked a question —> How did we come to these conclusions? or Better yet… What is the proof that all of this is true? (what has Science proven?).

After about 3 weeks of reading anything in sight, every night when I got home from work, I became more over-whelmed by the information. I kept having new questions arise, and in asking myself these new questions with trying to find a plauseable answer, I would develop more questions. So needless to say my brain started to cramp up.
I remember one night, beginning to get so frustrated from this NEW information I decided to walk away from this topic for a week. I didn’t open my computer the entire week because I knew if I did, my mind would try to continue to work on this problem. After the week ended, I decided to take another approach, and this is when it started to get interesting. I made the decision to try to disprove all of these people who were pushing out this Flat Earth Business. I thought this was going to be the easiest approach, simply because there have been contradicting arguments among some flat earthers online. So I began posting within several forums to FE groups asking them to answer my questions using data that could be validated. Within in two days time, I received 50 plus responses to my questions, and this my friends is where the things began to get interesting.
By posting within different forums, I was able to weed out those who were just pushing their own ideas vs. those who had done the work to prove their theories with data, experiments, logical reasoning, and honesty. And when I say “Honesty” there were many within these groups who said – The just don’t know….when they Honestly — Did Not Know, which for me that speaks volumes as the Scientific community for decades always seems to have the Answer. It is very seldom today that NASA (or High-Brow Scientific publications) say we have no clue. And with my years of experience with studying provable government conspiracies and learning to question authority (and asking questions in general) I was glad to hear people within their method of inquiry say we just don’t know.
After weeding out those who were taking this topic seriously and those who were not, I received an email from a guy in Australia who saw my questions online. This Man had been on a similar quest as I and pointed me to a video on YouTube. The title of this video was called The History of the Flat Earth, by Eric Dubay.
Now…Up to this point I didn’t watch YouTube videos or documentaries about Flat Earth, as I was looking for hard data, not someone’s opinion or commentary. However, within any journey sometimes you will come to a point where taking a different road might be the best option. This gentleman from Australia reached out to me, seeing my concern, and offered me advice that helped him along his journey – so I decided to give it a look.
Before I go any further, I believe anyone in this life is entitled to their opinion or view. My only concern to those out there, who believe the Earth is a Globe or is a flat stationary Plane, is to know why you believe it to be so. This is my only criteria when I engage in conversation with anyone with opposing view on a subject. Don’t just say this is what I believe, and not have a reason for your decision. I personally feel that everyone should have an informed opinion about every subject, as that is how we develop these things called: Virtues, Knowledge, and Belief!
If you have made it this far my fans, friends, and family….I am finally going to answer the question that many continue to keep asking me. Do I believe the Earth is Flat? Okay…so here it goes —> and this is a two part answer.
After watching Eric Dubay’s Video this lead me to many more videos and conversations that I would have over the course of 11 months. During this time I befriended, Santos Bonacci along with many other free thinkers. Anyone who know me well, are aware that I am not a person who gets caught up in “GROUPS”. I believe in sharing knowledge as it is acquired, and keeping an open mind during your journey for truth. Around November-December 2016, I did a podcast episode titled “The psychology of Flat Earth”. Within this episode, I discussed the journey that many people have had in discovering this topic (as well as myself), and my gut feelings about FE as it stands today, with all the data I have gathered. I have done several experiments on my own and compared this with others who have been doing the same thing in different areas around our planet. MY CONCLUSION is as follows. Is the Earth Flat? My answer is I don’t know entirely. Having said that….Is the Earth Round or Oblate? My answer is a Big Hell NO!!
Now if you don’t like this answer, that is understandable (from both sides of this debate). First you must understand, if I am to be taken seriously as a person who looks at things with an open mind, I must also answer to myself (honestly)! After looking into this topic for over a year now… all I can say to my fans, and those who follow my work is I continue to research this topic every week, and my journey is still not complete yet. When I say “I don’t know entirely” that is me being honest with you. Do I believe the Earth Could be Flat, absolutely! There is more and more logical and experimental data coming out every single day. And as more folks get involved with this topic, I feel I will have a more confident answer by the end of 2017. Sadly many people who will read this post will over-look the most important part of what I said, focusing on that fact that I am not 100% convinced we are on a flat motionless plane; missing my comment that I believe with are not spinning on a globe.

My plans for 2017 is to discover what exactly we are living on! The year 2016 allowed me to remove 1 part of the puzzle, and that was to remove the information of what we are Not living on. Now, that I have erased 500 years of BS (and added it to my file cabinet of other government BS – NASA BS etc..) I can now continue to reach out the world for new information, with a new premise of knowledge in mind.

I want to thank Santos Bonacci and Eric Dubay in particular (as well as many others who have played a smaller role in my journey) for the insights you bring to the table every day. As there are so many people out there who have been on this FE road much longer than I have, I am still pacing myself in the hope to catch up with all of you sometime soon.
I know this story answers the question for all of you who have been reaching out to me. At the same time, I believe I am not the only one who is still on a quest for Flat Earth.
So from my heart to yours, Namaste my friends.
-David S. Rollman

As many know…I am a very knowledgeable person about pharmacology ( pharmacokinetics & pharmacodynamics) as I enjoy this subject immensely. And even though, I am not a user of Marijuana for recreational or Medical use —- I still have a huge issue with THE DEA’s scheduling of Marijuana as a Category (schedule) “1” drug. My issues again with “Drugs in America” has been the same for the past 10 years as majority of the time answer to the question is written within the wording of the Law. Having said this (and referring to the Picture below of the DEA’s verbiage) you will see the problem. The words “No Current ACCEPTED Medical Use…” is the highlight. And to go a step further…You will see the other drugs Marijuana is grouped with (Heroin, LSD, MDMA etc..). Now here is the deal my friends, there has been numerous studies looking into the use and practical applications for medical reasons (on all of the drugs listed in the Schedule 1 group). Furthermore, every drug listed here…has had several studies linking themselves to an effective (temporary cure) to certain medical conditions Under controlled applications! Now… before I get pounded by anyone, I do not support the de-regulation of these drugs, as 97% can and do have long-term side effects if not used under a controlled dose and/or supervision (eg. dependency or overdose) EXCEPT MARIJUANA. ***THERE have been countless studies…that continue to go on to this day, showing the great potential this Plant has done for people suffering from: Alzheimer’s disease, MS, Anxiety, Cancer, Dravet’s Syndrome, Inflammatory Bowl Disease, Arthritis, regulating metabolism, Parkinson’s Disease, Crohn’s Disease, PSTD, as well as protecting the brain after a person has a stroke AND…has been known to allow people to become more creative (and find an over-all sense of well being).

Hello everyone – I have missed you all!

Seeing that I have been a bit busy lately – I figured the best way to answer some of my fans and followers, who have asked a similar question, was to place it in a blog post, as I predict this question will surface again down the road.

More podcasts to come over the month of December, with interesting topics to dive into.

The question that keeps getting asked is about success, failure and the journey of self discovery…so read below, as I use myself as the example knowing that I have mastered the art of Succeeding and Failing and in this process I have found real liberation!  

Over the past 15 years, I have worked my way up to the top, in various jobs (within Retail and in my own business adventures) just to lose it all, and start again. Many bad decisions and life choices had played a huge role during this process, however, that was never the real reason as to why I let it all go. During this journey, I changed my habits, my focus, my vision, and my drive so drastically that I began to notice that I was not this Man our world was telling me to be; but an illusion that I created just so I could feel part of the Painting manifested by our society – As I wanted to fit in and not be judged. Sometimes it may appear to those on the outside – that you have it all – because you have the nice car, the great job, the large circle of friends and integrity (Still Something is not right… and that something may be YOU) In some cases (like mine for example) you wake up a realize you don’t recognize the person you see in the mirror, and scratch your head wondering where did it all go wrong? There will be days when we overthink, and wish we could have approached something from our past a bit different, as that one decision sent us on a roller coaster creating more problems and situations we could of avoided if we just made a different choice. Having said all of this, I would not be the Man I am today, had I not succeeded and failed in the way I did.
Ten years ago, if a person were to ask me “What is it that I do for a living?” I would detail them with boring jargon as it related to my job. I would have an answer like a I am my own boss working in a small company, Or I am a Dept Manager for a Large Grocery Retailer…. ETC.. ETC… ETC…. Now there is nothing wrong with this answer, however; my response at that time never got down to the realities of what I did…it only explained the title of my JOB. It would of been more clear if I would of responded like, “I lead, develope, prepare, and organize a crew of 18 people to unload, merchandise and present food and non food items in one of the United States’ Largest grocery retailer.” as that would of been more accurate description of what my JOB was. My point in all of this is simple. Too often we define ourselves by what we do (for a living), and not who we really are.
Today… If someone was to ask me the same question of what it is that I do, I would have to clairify as to what they meant…as this question is very vague. What I do for a living? (as to what generates Money) Or What it is that I do? (Meaning My Purpose in this life). So When I respond by telling those who ask the question, “I Motivate, Challenge, Encourage, and Inspire people to become the best version of themselves, by changing the way they see the world and the way the world sees them one internal revolution at a time.” You would be amazed at how many werid looks I will get. However that is a proper answer, as that is my true motivation in this life.
For those who I have had the honor to meet and engage with over my 20+ years of good conversation, will agree that the statement above is the most accurate response to what it is that I do. Yes I may still work retail to pay the bills, but My motivation today (after years of non committed decisions and not knowing the real me) has shifted to making the next few years of my life more facinating and lucurative. By discovering the real me, making the focused decisions have come a whole lot easier. The climb back up to the top takes time, and requires patience; but when the energy is focused by the plans I have made and the goals set… I know there is nothing that will prevent me from achieving my dreams.
I already know that 2017 is going to be a very positive year as many key life changing decisions will have to be made. I am very good at what I do, just ask those who have called upon me for guidence in there life story? I am going to succeed and generate One-million dollars within the next few years. I am so confident of this, because I visualize the outcome long before the curtain opens and the surprise reveiled.
I have repeatedly said, and will continue to say (no matter what you do) If you are not working to make the lives of other people better everyday, you are wasting your time. Life is sharing the gifts you have so that those around you can benefit. To hord all your gifts and talents and not share them freely, will only make you feel lonely at the end of the day. The connections we create, the networks we build, and the Relationship we cherish will automatically generate the future you never thought possible. It is through this hard lesson but easy practice, that we will find success. And by giving of yourself everyday, the people in this world that become your biggest fan as they will get to see the REAL you and the journey you are creating as they want to be part of something greater than themselves as well.
So where ever this world decides to send me, I have faith someday our path will cross. As every choice, circumstance, push, pull, jump or run – plays a interesting role as to where you are in this moment. And believe it or not, You are the one in control! That is so powerful!

2017-2018 is going to be something really special, just you wait and see.

Namaste My friends,

-David

To those out there who follow my podcast show will know that The Main Stream Media is a topic of which I discuss at length.  Mainly because it has become very difficult today to locate non-biased News and Information.

Majority of Americans and people around the world, receive there News and Other “Factual Information” from the Main Stream Television, News Papers and Radio Shows.  The question that must be asked before you go any further is: Do you know who owns or controls these entities?  It may be shocking to most, as I was blown away when I came to this discovery about 5 years ago, that 90% of all the Information we Read, Watch or Listen to is owned and controlled by 6 Major Media Giants. Now, if this is not alarming to you…well it is time to understand that the information you gather everyday has probably been released by one of these 6 Agencies.

Why this is an important fact – and – something to be concerned about is quite simple!  The way people in this world can make conscious (contemplated and educated) decisions, is solely based on the quality of the information we have been provided with.  For example, when we make financial decisions we look to the experts who understand this subject. After hours of consultation, questions and reflection, we will make a decision based upon the New Found Knowledge we have just acquired.  However, if the person or people who have provided you with the information were not very honest, had another motive, or another motivation in mind, you will become the victim of Bad NEWS.

So if we are to take this example on a larger scale – and look at World Events, Wars, Health, Politics, Economics, Society, Culture, Science etc… –  and majority of people are tuning into the “Experts” aka The Main Stream Media, everyday for Factual Information to make an educated decision; if these Networks are dishonest in anyway it will effect the World Narrative.

Below I will list the 6 major Media Giants in America today and provide you with alternative sources for information.  Within the 6 major corporations, I highly recommend you research what each of these Giants own or control within Media. (Do not be shocked if you find your favorite, Television program, News Paper, Magazine publication, or Radio Show under the umbrella of one of these companies).

As we draw closer to the end of 2016, with the World Wide Web along with so many distractions & Information sources battling for your attention, it will become more overwhelming everyday going forward.  This is why I will provide you with the Major Players, and Some better alternatives that will allow you to make a more informed decision.

The information below is a Guide: And remember that even alternative sources will have at times a leaning or opinion in mind (that is normal as everyone is Human).  The main focus in discovering a better information source is Simple: Look for Reporters (Not Repeaters).  If a story sounds like it is the same as the Main Stream (esp. in its wording… Keep Searching for another alternative).

HERE WE GO:  “The Big 6”

1. Comcast
2. News Corporation
3. Walt Disney Company
4. Viacom
5. Time Warner
6. CBS Corp.

A poll done by the Pew Research Center, in the Fall of 2011, found that, “Fully (all facts presented) 66% (of the public) say news stories often are inaccurate, 77% think that news organizations tend to favor one side (baised reporting), and 80% say news organizations are often influenced by powerful people and organizations (Information manipulated).” A Gallup poll, taken in September of 2015, showed that 60% of the American public still do not trust the main stream media to deliver the news fully, accurately and fairly.

Yet, Americans will continue to Read, Watch and Listen to what the Main Stream puts out daily – simply because they do not know where to go for non-biased, alternative investigative reporting.  Below are some Options to check out!  They are different than your family’s traditional News Source.

Alternative Options: (And Again There are many others, and if you find better ones please let me know via email: david@rollmanrevolution.com)

*My Top 5 are as Follows:

1. Gary Franchi’s Next News Network (nextnewsnetwork.com)
2. The Real News Network (therealnews.com)
3. Reveal (The Center for Investigative Reporting) (revealnews.org)
4. World Affairs Brief (worldaffairsbrief.com)
5. Sputnik (sputniknews.com)

Other Popular Mentions:

1. Truthout (truth-out.org)
2. Reuters (reuters.com)
3. The Nation (thenation.com)
4. ProPublica (propublica.org)
5. The Center for Public Integrity (publicintegrity.org)
6. FAIR (Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting) (fair.org)
7. Who, What, Why (whowhatwhy.org)
8. Watchdog.org
9. WikiLeaks (wikileaks.org)

And another favorite of mine:

• AllSides (allsides.com) – Brings all Main Stream Media Talk Together – Usefull tool for gathering All Major Media together on one page.  It shows the Left – Center – and Right of Issues that come out from different media markets. (Not an alternative media site, but a useful place to see the articles together)

* Will Update this list periodically when I find better sources (or if the sources take a turn in the wrong direction) your involvement – comments and suggestions – is welcomed thank you

THIS IS WHAT IS MEANT BY MEDIA REPEATERS (Remember…Look for original Investigative Reporting not Media Repeaters)  Conan O’Brien Exposed the repeaters which shows that much of Network News is just a script.

I watched the 3rd and Final US Presidential debate

and I am troubled by what the #MSM (main stream media) and polls are saying. According to CNN, NBC, ORC polling, they give the 3rd debate to Hillary Clinton, which if you watch the debate closely there is no way in HELL that she won on any count. I rate debates on substance, not political BS, but actual talk. When you listen to Hillary Clinton speak, it is all pre-written talking points. I have told my audience, friends, and family…that I have no stake in the outcome of this election, as I feel the best candidates will never make the stage. However; only a mindless person would think Hillary Clinton won this 3rd and final debate. I watched intently as to the substance within each comment from each candidate, and the score I came to at the end of the debate, was TRUMP 25 – CLINTON 6. As many may know I was a debate prep person back in high school, and did the same when I went to USF. I know that debates are won on content, and how a person delivers that content. 2nd is how you sound when you deliver the content, do you sound presidential, or do you sound like a whiner. On just these two principles alone, Clinton loses. She smiles when she is pissed, she doubles talks when she is caught in a lie, and furthermore; I am tire of the main stream media, and the BS Polling in this country framing the election for one candidate – as to give the people the illusion they have choice. I will predict that after the 3 debates, Hillary Clinton will win this election by about 6-7% more Electoral Votes. That will hold the case unless there is a further October surprise…that the Trump campaign is holding back. And Regardless who wins, If you want to see what I saw last night. Hillary did not WIN….but the #MSM will not tell you otherwise as that is how rigged the Media is in this country and around the world. PROVE ME WRONG…as I have predicted with 100% accuracy over the last 4 major elections. Watch the debate…share the message. I will be doing a podcast that I hope will stimulate the minds of the dumb asses in America this weekend. Until then READ, RESEARCH, and Look into Facts on your own…because the Media is not your ally.

CHECK OUT THE DEBATE: and See how you score this!

There are not enough educators tackling the big social issues in this world today, however; even though many may

already know this woman – I had not discovered her work until a few days ago.  Jane Elliott is REAL EDUCATOR.  Not your typical “TEACHER” as many like to define as a person who stands in front of students and deliver what the text books are sharing.  No, Mrs Elliott is an Educator, a person that strips away the nonsense to deliver the reality of what society and culture has developed as “Truth”.

On the Rollman Revolution audio Podcast – I try every week to tackle Big Issues, and Re-Educate the masses, by stimulating my listeners in a way – to get them off the Ass.  Society and cultures alike have shared ignorance from generation to generation. So, if we as Human Beings don’t pause for a moment and re-visit the core of these teachings – we stand to pass on propaganda and BS to all future generations.

Jane Elliott is someone I wish all my fans, followers, and family to spend a few minutes and Watch the Videos Below. Furthermore, if you see something that peaks your interest, you can find her wisdom at her Website: JaneElliot 

Please Enjoy just a taste of REAL EDUCATION in the two videos below.  You will not find a better voice for the Ignorance behind “RACISM”

-David Rollman

I have nothing else to say but Watch this video.  Before you make any other decisions within this world.  My friends, It comes down to what FUTURE, what LIFE, you want tomorrow.  Don’t stand there idly-by and watch your leaders, rulers, and puppet masters smear and control your good name.  I bring this video, which was shared with me by Santos Bonacci, and It has to be the biggest wake up call this world needs. Namaste my friends!  Please watch and Share this Page and message with all you can.  We do it better when we do it together.

So then let’s consider first of all
what is a mind in the grip a vicious circles.
Well one of the most obvious instances
that we all know is the phenomenon of worry.
The doctor tells you
that you have to have an operation.
And that has been set up so
that automatically everybody worries about it.
But since worrying takes away
your appetite and your sleep
it’s not good for you.
But you can’t stop worrying
and therefore you get additionally worried
that you are worrying.
And then furthermore because
that is quite absurd
and your mad at yourself
because you do it,
you are worried because you worry
because you worry.
That is a vicious circle.
So now, can you
allow your mind to be quiet?
Isn’t it difficult?
Because the mind seems to be like a monkey,
jumping up and down and jabbering all the time.
Once you’ve learned to think you can’t stop.
And an enormous number of people
devote their lives to keeping their minds busy
and feel extremely uncomfortable with silence.
When you’re alone
nobody’s saying anything, there’s nothing to do
just this worrying, this lack of distraction.
I’m left alone with myself
and I wanna get away from myself
I always want to get away myself.
That’s why I go to the movies,
that’s why I go to the donut shops,
That’s why I go after the girls or anything
or get drunk or whatever.
I don’t want to be with myself.
I feel queer.
So well why do you wanna run away from yourself?
What’s so bad about it?
Why do you want to forget this?
Why do you want to become yourself?
Because you are addicted to thoughts.
This is a drug, too dangerous one.
Compulsive thinking, on and on and on
and on all the time.
It’s a habit.
So there’s a difficulty
about stopping that activity.
And you really have to stop it
if you want to be sane.
Because if I talk all the time
I don’t hear what anyone else has to say.
And I’ll end up in the situation of having nothing
to talk about but my own talking.
And so exactly the same way
if I think all the time
I won’t have anything
to think about except thoughts.
So in order to have something to think about,
there are times when you simply
must stop thinking.
Well, how do you do that?
The first rule is don’t try to.
Because if you do,
you will be like someone trying
to make rough water smooth with a flatiron.
And all that will do will stir it up.
So in the same way
as a muddy turbulent pool
quiets itself when left alone,
you have to know
how to leave your mind alone.
Only Then…will it quiet itself.

-Alan Watts
