Play I some music! Root’s Rock, Reggae! Everyday I go to the beach for sunset and swim in the sea but before I dive in I make sure I play loudly my master blaster, by startin off the jammin with Bob Marley – Play I some music.
So what’s been happening over the past few days is people have been coming to me at the shoreline and thanking “I” for supply the tunes, which I play loud via Charge 4 Harmon Acoustics and I mention to a few folks, now and then, that it’s Bob Marley’s 75th Birthday, and we’ve been granted permission (from the top) to play Reggae-Rock to commemorate Bob Marley.
The Supreme Commander and Head Creator of all things, RasTafari Jah, has demanded and commanded, that this the 75th Anniversary of the Prophet Bob Marley, be recognized in all hamlets of all boroughs of terra firma. Hereby, it is dictated from on above high, to play “Roots, Rock, Raggae” until the heavens bounce it back on earth.
You are hereby granted (by Jah) authority to Rock Bob Marley!
Root’s Rock, Reggae was written to embrace all music enthusiasts, all together in one song to introduce Reggae to the mainstream. People everywhere in the world identify with Bob Marley, his message has the largest possible circumference of fans, compared to any other genre or niche of music, all people, even babies, love Bob Marley.
So, now that I’ve pitched you, let me tell you my own experience, if you just play his songs when people need to hear them, and no one else is providing soundtrack for our great lives, then you go ahead and play Roots Rock, Reggae and make the world a better place by bring a vibe of peace and truth.
“Roots, Rock, Reggae”

Dear Digital Soldiers, I am requesting assistance in defending the Be Best Hashtag, as my Facebook account was terminated and had been the primary defender of that hashtag. Note that I don’t use that tag outside of direct support of original actions of FLOTUS. Each time she produces new digital content, download, sort, save and re-purpuse as content to support her intentions. Attempt to keep the tag use very focused.
Please refrain from spamming that tag or the digital art work of Melania Trump, by altering or water-marking her content. Remember it is her Intellectual Property and she has freely given it to the public domain, which still doesn’t make it right to rip her off (using for other purposes). Note that jacket from Zara where it was written “I really don’t care, do you?” (I call that courage) was an Epoch for child slavery in the garment industry.
Melania Trump gave us this important piece of powerful code, almost like a magic incantation. The Be Best tag is vitally important for our generation because it is a very short and yet extremely evocative. It reads as an action verb and it’s oh so sweet to say, perfect for parting words to a loved one. “Be well and be best”.
If we nurture this moniker that Melania has gifted us, we can make miracles happen for children everywhere. Practising incantations of positive intentions and harnessing the hidden power of collective focus. Abracadabra (search that meaning), we have the BeBest tag, please put it to work. Thank you Melania and God Bless America.

Lorde - Solar Power (Lyrics)
I hate the winter
Can’t stand the cold
I tend to cancel all the plans (so sorry, I can’t make it)
But when the heat comes
Something takes a hold
Can I kick it? Yeah, I can
My cheeks in high colour, overripe peaches
No shirt, no shoes, only my features
My boy behind me, he’s taking pictures
Lead the boys and girls onto the beaches
Come one, come all, I’ll tell you my secrets
I’m kinda like a prettier Jesus
Forget all of the tears that you’ve cried, it’s over (over, over, over)
It’s a new state of mind — are you coming, my baby?
Acid green, aquamarine
The girls are dancing in the sand
And I throw my cellular device in the water
Can you reach me? No, you can’t
Turn it on in a new kind of bright, it’s solar (solar, solar, solar)
Come on and let the bliss begin
Blink three times when you feel it kickin’ in
That solar power

Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O’Connor (born 7 November 1996), known professionally as Lorde (/lɔːrd/LORD), is a New Zealand singer-songwriter. Taking inspiration from aristocracy for her stage name, she is known for employing unconventional musical styles and introspective songwriting. Lorde’s music is primarily electropop and contains elements of subgenres such as dream pop and indie-electro.
Born in the Auckland suburb of Takapuna and raised in neighbouring Devonport, Lorde expressed interest in performing at local venues in her early teens. She signed with Universal Music Group (UMG) in 2009 and collaborated with producer Joel Little in 2011 to start recording material. Initially self-released in 2012 for free download on SoundCloud, UMG commercially released the pair’s first collaborative effort, an extended play (EP) titled The Love Club, in 2013. The EP’s international chart-topping single “Royals” helped Lorde rise to prominence.
Her debut studio album Pure Heroine was released that same year to critical and commercial success. The following year, Lorde curated the soundtrack for the 2014 film The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 and recorded several tracks, including the single “Yellow Flicker Beat”. Her second studio album Melodrama (2017) received widespread critical acclaim and debuted atop the US Billboard 200.
Lorde’s accolades include two Grammy Awards, two Brit Awards, and a Golden Globe nomination. She appeared in Time‘s list of the most influential teenagers in 2013 and 2014, and the 2014 edition of Forbes 30 Under 30. In addition to her solo work, she has co-written songs for other artists, including Broods and Bleachers. As of June 2017, Lorde has sold over five million albums worldwide.
The children of Jacob sell their brother Joseph by Konstantin Flavitsky, 1855. Judah was the one who suggested that Joseph be sold, rather than killed.
First, we must start with the origins of both words Jew and Jewish. Both are recent modern words found nowhere in the NT or OT Greek or Hebrew. Modern translations put both words there. The original words used are Yudaean, Yehudite, Yudaite. The letter J was never in the original Hebrew.
The term Jew is an attempt to describe heritage.
The term Jewish is an attempt to describe religious belief (Judaism).
Portrait of Yehuda (Judah), son of Jacob (oil on canvas)
Mixing these terms up is done often and on purpose to bring confusion between heritage and religion. It’s why most people can’t explain the difference of both terms.
Literally anyone can become Jewish. Not everyone can be a Jew. Also, the vast majority of those that say they are Jews aren’t actually Jews but rather from the lineage of Esau. They are a mixed race.
The term Jew isn’t derogatory whatsoever. It’s often the goal of those who convert to Judaism, but conversion doesn’t make you a Jew.
To be a considered a “Jew”, you’d have to either be from the tribe of Judah or have lived in Judea. It’s impossible to prove who are actually Jews today. After the destruction of the temple in 70 AD records were destroyed.
God’s people Israel, the people not the state (descendants of Jacob) had 12 tribes. Judah or the Jews were one of them. They were considered by Christ as stiffed necked and hard hearted. The Pharisees and Sadducees by example were real Jews. Born of a virgin, Christ came through the lineage of Judah, so that is why Jews think they are special and or chosen. It’s the cornerstone of the Jewish religion. Yet ironically they deny Christ.
Over the centuries, the Synagogue of Satan and or the global cabal has figured this out. How to use this for their benefit. The goal was to hijack a heritage to use for political and financial gain. It’s become a gang moreover than a religion because of this. The perversion of the Torah via the Talmud has made this possible and is the blueprint for doing so dating back since Babylon. The Canaanites created Kabbalah, Jesuits, Illuminati, Templars, etc..
Judah (left) talking to Tamar (right) (1606–1669), by Rembrandt
Not all Jewish people are evil or bad. Many are ignorant to all of it. Nevertheless, they have gained from this ignorance. You rarely hear someone who is Jewish call out another Jewish person publicly. It is extremely rare. There are social and financial consequences for doing so.
The people who are destroying the world identify as Jewish but are not actually even Jews. They all converted. Bill Gates, George Soros, Klaus Schwab, Rothchild family. Communism is Jewish, put forth by the Jewish Bolsheviks. The goal is total world domination and control. Up unto this point they have been extremely successful. Therefore, this topic is extremely important. Hiding behind terms like anti-Semitism is a cover to allow all of this to be unexamined and criticisms to be silenced.
If you identify as a good Jewish person, the way you can help is simple. Lose the chosen mentality and help join the fight in exposing the hypocrisy and wickedness of the Talmud at all costs, as it’s destroying the world.
According to the Ascended Master Teachings, Francis Bacon made it appear that he died on Easter Sunday, 9 April 1626, and even attended his own “funeral” in disguise. It is believed by the adherents of the Ascended Master Teachings that he then traveled secretly to Transylvania (then part of Hungary, now part of Romania) to the Rakoczy Mansion of the noble family of Hungary. Finally on 1 May 1684 he is believed to have attained (by his knowledge of alchemy) his physical Ascension (attaining immortality and eternal youth – the sixth level of Initiation), at which time Francis Bacon adopted the name “Saint Germain”
I am guided to share something else about Saint Germain, two things of importance. First, that a Trust has been growing in it’s vast wealth in offshore banks accounts and asset holdings of unfathomable value, people inform me that it is going to liquidate via global disbursement, to every bank account on earth, with recurring monthly payments until all the holdings are spent. Secondly that a powerful set of instructions was published and shared to all people everywhere, in every language, to learn how to manifest your own destiny.
This is a brief list of I am affirmations from the “I Am” Discourse of St. Germain. When using “I am” you are sending pure consciousness and the essence of all creation towards the statement.
By claiming these with I am you are using the power of the mighty I am as it is referred to in the discourses. You may also enjoy our I am affirmations for financial and spiritual abundance.
I am the omnipresent all-powerful protecting intelligence governing this mind and body
I am the perfect intelligent activity within this mind and body
I am the only presence acting in my world
I am the illumination in this room
I am the invincible I am
I am the presence of divine harmony
I am the heart of god and I now bring forth ideas and accomplishments to change the world
I am always the majestic power of pure love that transcends every human concept
I am the limitless
I am the full comprehension and illumination of this thing I want to know and understand
I am the resurrection and the light
I am the open door which no man can shut
I am the mighty presence of God in action
Many groups honor Saint Germain as a supernatural being called a Master of the Ancient Wisdom or an Ascended master. In the Ascended Master Teachings he is referred to simply as Saint Germain, or as the Ascended Master Saint Germain. As an Ascended Master, Saint Germain is believed to have many magical powers such as the ability to teleport, levitate, walk through walls, and to inspire people by telepathy, among others.
In New Age beliefs, Saint Germain is associated with the color violet, the jewel amethyst, and the Maltese cross rendered in violet (usually the iron cross style cross patee version). He is also regarded as the “Chohan of the Seventh Ray”. According to The Theosophical Society, the Seven Rays are seven metaphysical principles that govern both individual souls and the unfolding of each 2,158-year-long Astrological Age. Since according to Theosophy, the next Astrological Age, the Age of Aquarius, will be governed by the Seventh (Violet) Ray (the Ray of Ceremonial Order), Saint Germain is sometimes called “The Hierarch of the Age of Aquarius”. According to the Ascended Master Teachings, Saint Germain is “The God of Freedom for this system of worlds“. According to the Ascended Master Teachings, the preliminary lead-up to the beginning of the Age of Aquarius began on 1 July 1956, when Ascended Master Saint Germain became the Hierarch of the Age of Aquarius, replacing the former Astrological Age Hierarch, the Ascended Master Jesus, who had been for almost 2,000 years the “Hierarch of the Age of Pisces“.
In the works authored by Alice A. Bailey, Saint Germain is called Master Rakóczi or the Master R. In the Ascended Master Teachings, the Master Rakoczi, otherwise known as the Great Divine Director, is regarded as Saint Germain’s teacher in the Great White Brotherhood of Ascended Masters. Alice A. Bailey’s book The Externalisation of the Hierarchy (a compilation of earlier revelations published posthumously in 1957) gives the most information about his reputed role as a Spiritual Master. Saint Germain’s spiritual title is said to be Lord of Civilization, and his task is the establishment of the new civilization of the Age of Aquarius. He is said to telepathically influence people who are seen by him as being instrumental in bringing about the new civilization of the Age of Aquarius. Alice A. Bailey stated that “sometime after AD 2025,” the Jesus, the Master Rakóczi (Saint Germain), Kuthumi, and others in the Spiritual Hierarchy would “externalise”, i.e., descend from the spiritual worlds, and interact in visible tangible bodies on the Earth in ashrams, surrounded by their disciples.
Alice A. Bailey said that St. Germain is the “manager of the executive council of the Christ”. (Theosophists regard “the Master Jesus” and “Christ” as two separate and distinct beings. They believe in the GnosticChristology espoused by Cerinthus (fl. c. 100 AD), according to which “Christ” is a being who was incarnated in Jesus only during the three years of the ministry of Jesus.) According to certain Theosophists, “Christ” is identified as being a highly developed spiritual entity whose actual name is Maitreya. This Maitreya is the same being known in Buddhism as the Bodhisattva Maitreya, who is in training to become the next Buddha on Earth. According to Alice A. Bailey, the “executive council of the Christ” is a specific subgroup of the Masters of the Ancient Wisdom, charged with preparing the way for the Second Coming of Christ and the consequent inauguration of the Age of Aquarius.
Telsa Healing Device has been in existence since 1934 and a very guarded secret, for as you can imagine, widespread use of such simple science would destroy the profits from traditional pharmaceutical medicine. These patents were hidden and the knowledge suppressed, in order to keep the sick unwell and keep the merchants of death rich and furthermore science belongs to those who can afford it.
The Nikola Tesla Company
In 1895, Edward Dean Adams, impressed with what he saw when he toured Tesla’s lab, agreed to help found the Nikola Tesla Company, set up to fund, develop, and market a variety of previous Tesla patents and inventions as well as new ones. Alfred Brown signed on, bringing along patents developed under Peck and Brown. The board was filled out with William Birch Rankine and Charles F. Coaney. It found few investors; the mid-1890s was a tough time financially, and the wireless lighting and oscillators patents it was set up to market never panned out. The company handled Tesla’s patents for decades to come.
Telsa Healing Device
Tesla’s electromagnetic medical marvels brought healing fields to the patient via his Tesla coil. … These devices, known as Radionic machines, were medical devices capable of broadcasting a special healing field to the patient – even if they were not present in the room.
Clouds taking over La Gomera before the sunset, Tenerife, Spain.
If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too: If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies, Or being hated don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream – and not make dreams your master; If you can think – and not make thoughts your aim, If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same:. If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build’em up with worn-out tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings, And never breathe a word about your loss: If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on!”
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings – nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much: If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it, And – which is more – you’ll be a Man, my son!
MED BEDS (Holographic Medical Pods also known as Celestial Chambers) – One of Many Healing Technologies Expected to Come Forward Upon Disclosure Med Bed technology has been “suppressed” and hidden from the public for a long, long time. Fortunately, due to the planetary shift from 3D to 5D happening at this time, and the increasing demand for transparency by the human collective consciousness, an increasing number of courageous people are coming forward to disclose what they know has been hidden for decades, even centuries, and most likely for thousands of years.
Two of these courageous souls are Ileana the Star Traveler (her internet name) and Jared Rand. Ileana wrote the information on the Holographic Medical Pods from her personal experiences as a Secret Space Program Asset on Mars. Her information is posted in the second-half of this article. Jared is a highly intelligent and knowledgeable man who has been working with the global transition for decades, and has information about many topics the general public is not aware of, including but not limited to, off-world ET technology gifts to humanity like the Quantum Financial Computer System, Anti-Gravity Propulsion, Replicators and Med Beds.

Free Energy Special Interest Group
The 63rd FESIG Meeting started off with Crystal Goh, the Chair, welcoming the 100 meeting attendees to FESIG, the Free Energy Special Interest Group, where science meets spirituality in the quest for truth and knowledge to free humanity and transform this planet into a paradise! SUBSCRIBE! Share and Donate!
She showed the FESIG site pointing out how to navigate for info and then went through the Meeting Agenda before introducing the speaker Jared Rand of the Global Guided Meditation Call to speak of his Celestial Chamber. 9 feet long in structure. Powered by plasma and tachyon particle field. Controlled AI and database of the human body – frequency field energy range of the body. Melatonin infused- so the person goes into a deep sleep. Body carries DNA memory. The energy field is still there in the DNA. The halo flows over the body, completely analyze the human form, identify all the anomalies in the human form. There’s no pain nor cutting or anything – the body is completely unviolated – Process takes 3 mins. Organs, limbs are regenerated. Implants are atomised or eliminated. It will also reverse the ageing process, mostly controlled to the age of 35, but could go down to a very young age. This is not an Earth technology. A quantum entanglement design.
Many technologies that this civilization is to be blessed with – they’re here to see to it that it’ll be delivered safely and securely. Every person of the team has to have a deeper understanding, respect in consciousness and awareness, a sacred act! Everything starts with the mind , ‘cos our intention has set it forth, according to our ultimate goal is for homeostasis for all subjects of the world, to have a total balance over any stress that could be visiting them. Our most amazing gift is to repair and heal only, but why are we not healing?
The Celestial Chamber – bio organic material of the chamber encases the patient that conforms to the shape and size of the body. It picks up the DNA genetic blueprint…The CC is to eliminate the stress, anxiety and fear that this civilization is being literary saturated with, to free it, to think for itself and to lead itself to progress on a measured basis. The DNA memory of imperfections is to be erased as the body would not have anymore resonance to these anomalies. The end product of the CC applications is that the body is in a much different on the health position on the health perspective, genetic defects from family members are removed it’ll be in a more pristine position than ever was in the 1st round!
In the immune system in the body a harmonic field is generated to protect the degradation of the body tissue. The protection is supercharged after the treatment and nothing will affect it anymore. Re-aging is instant! If you understand the electric Plasma frequencies in the hyper quantum field of physics, like a voice analyzer, it goes up and down, up and down, the CC re-atomize that frequency to an absolute a smooth line frequency so the body in disharmony begins to deteriorate rot. It was genetically modified to be that way but if you genetically demodified the human body, so that it’ll accelerate at whim, at will, its ageing and it’s de-aging. It’s as if a time field frequency is placed in the body so that it accelerates and reverses as if the wrinkles and the anomalies were never there! Life extension. A prototype is in production right now. Body must be in a state of stasis (deep sleep) in order for it to be harmonized thru’ the CC with the Plasma and Tachyon control particulate.
This is a 39th Universe/Dimension galactic technology. Take an 85 yr old man and re-atomized into a 35 yr old young strapping guy with all imperfections taken away from him – younger than his kids, emotional ramifications here! Will cause riots. A lot to think about to make sure that every human will have access to this device. Eventually, every household will have one A self-powered micro cube wirelessly through Light communication powers the device!

There were great questions asked in the chat room where James Rink had fired in rapid succession to Jared. Listen and watch all for details. Then this meeting was adjourned to the 2nd session where Pontus Hassbjer will share the making of the Buie-Morin motor generator towards beta testing and training preparations. Do Join us at FESIG’s 64th Meeting on the 1st of May when Jared Rand speaks again at FESIG, this time, about the RV, Funding, Free Energy and Disclosure intel and then some updates on the Celestial Chamber.

MEDBEDS (Celestial Chamber) AND FUTURE HEALING
Imagine, if you dare, your free will and fantasy allowing you to envision the most mind-wrapping methods that your body could endure to heal the human body. These alien technologies were suppressed for decades via the Military-Industrial Complex and DC politics and alphabet government agencies; that’s correct, alien technologies!
Envision a place where physics meets with reversed technology and engineering, where lightyears meet with human contemplation respecting the laws of people, animals, and the earth’s environment.
Have we as a human race become VEXED by the Military-Industrial Complex and the DC Political Boogiemen, whereby our history as a civilization was coveted from unimaginable truths residing between fact and fiction like the Wizard of Oz behind the iron curtain, controlling and manipulating all aspects of our life here on earth, from our food, belief systems, health, environment and more.
Secret Space Whistleblower Jared Rand, and Editor of “Stillness in the Storm,” is one of the latest alleged secret space insiders to step forward.
In conversation, he talks about the highly advanced off-world technologies such as tachyon healing chambers (Celestial Chamber), portal technology, resurrection beds, replicators, and rejuvenation pills; he is not the first nor the last person to discuss these covert patented technologies.
These life-altering inventions are literally from out of this world. They involve the ability not only to grow back missing limbs and cure diseases yet rejuvenate the atoms and cells in the body and reverse the aging process.
This AI-Computer program would create healing within the body, renewing it systemically through a painless atomization process, unaffecting the (memory, wisdom, knowledge, qualities, etc.) where the patient lies in the med-bed and goes into a deep sleep. It is hard to wrap our heads around a concept, so Sci-Fi could recreate a missing body part or a complete rejuvenation of reversing decades and layers of age. @MedbedsTechnology (Celestial Chamber)
Trained healthcare professionals would manage these devices as these miracle med-beds identify DNA while scanning the body for imperfections, then uses plasma and tachyon technology with a controllable AI computer to treat according to the person’s desire. In-depth health maintenance will provide a holistic approach along the lines of naturopathy, Ayurveda, homeopathy, and many others. The practices of these devices will not be used in allopathic hospitals but other appointed clinics. When the patents are released to the public, they will be protected against the greed and political establishment that have infiltrated every arena of our lifestyles. These devices will not replace healthcare, only be an adjunct to it as there are many other patents to be released that will compliment the likes of med beds.
Some of the very first people to receive healing sessions will be those suffering the most painful and severe conditions, and eventually, through time, it is said that every household will have its own devices.
Rand mentions several technologies that certain extraterrestrial people have covertly shared with selected groups on earth for decades.
As part of a research team, Jared Rand claims to have tested and verified all the technologies’ effectiveness. He also claims there are two specific pills to rejuvenate anyone within 24 hours.
There are massive patents and inventions to heal every ill known to man, yet most of us realize why these inventions have been withheld from seeing the light of day. The elite will never allow this as it will tap into the government and globalist greed.
On issues of healing the environment, there is a stunning approach silently existing that cleans the waterway, oceans, soil, and plants, and more, which is a 600 million-year-old microbe; once this is properly fermented, it has the ability to clean up oil spills, and after the cleanup, it exhausts itself, leaving only nitrogen and oxygen behind.
Greater Collective Consciousness and Elon Musk, the power of what can be done with imagination and determination. Once I laughed, at the inception of the Boring Company, and not because I ever thought he was crazy but because he gave away real flame-throwers to the first people to celebrate his new company. Obviously, that wasn’t his first company but it was, like the others, high risk because of the new markets and that had to be pioneered.
Really, the only thing that makes sense is to strive for greater collective enlightenment
Elon Musk
Elon Musk is by anyone’s recon, one of the most interesting men alive. His predictions have been accurate in the past, so to not heed them now or in the future is unwise, therefore I highly recommend the following:
If you thought 2020 was disruptive, wait until you see what Elon Musk is predicting for 2021. Here are his Top Five 2021 Predictions for 2021 and how he sees the world changing in the year ahead. Watch the video for the latest on his plans with Tesla, Starlink and SpaceX, as well as the predicted Tesla share price according to Billionaire investor Ron Baron. And get ready for the game changing business models of FSD, the Tesla Network and Tesla Virtual Power Plants.
Silicon Forest was the perfect place to host an Economic Summit
It’s an amazing thing that happened, I didn’t see coming but the end result is a new collaboration with a 8 year bimonthly meetup into an established website Silicon Forest
Since 2012 a bi-monthly meetup for “appys and beer” has been held in Vancouver, to host friendly debate and exchange ideas. An agenda is available and members are invited to speak their minds and exercise free speech, in a casual atmosphere with polite decorum.
We respectfully allow all participants to share viewpoints, on the topics outlined in the articles and videos selected by the founder from the submission of members. The informal nature of the discourse enables a “speed debate”
HOW TO SPEED DEBATE – “CUT TO THE CHASE”
What is Speed Debating?
A debate is a structured argument. Two sides speak alternately for and against a particular contention usually based on a topical issue. Unlike the arguments you might have with your family or friends however, each person is allocated a time they are allowed to speak for and any interjections are carefully controlled.
Why speed debate?
It is an excellent way of improving speaking skills and is particularly helpful in providing experience in developing a convincing argument. Those of you who are forced to argue against your natural point of view realize that arguments, like coins, always have at least two sides.
The Basic Speed Debating Skills
Style
Style is the manner in which you communicate your arguments. This is the most basic part of debating to master. Content and strategy are worth little unless you deliver your material in a confident and persuasive way.
Speed
It is vital to talk at a pace which is fast enough to sound intelligent and allow you time to say what you want, but slow enough to be easily understood.
Tone
Varying tone is what makes you sound interesting. Listening to one tone for an entire presentation is boring.
Volume
Speaking quite loudly is sometimes a necessity, but it is by no means necessary to shout through every debate regardless of context. There is absolutely no need speak any more loudly than the volume at which everyone in the room can comfortably hear you. Shouting does not win debates. Speaking too quietly is clearly disastrous since no one will be able to hear you.
Clarity
The ability to concisely and clearly express complex issues is what debating is all about. The main reason people begin to sound unclear is usually because they lose the “stream of thought” which is keeping them going. It is also important to keep it simple. While long words may make you sound clever, they may also make you incomprehensible.
Content
Content is what you actually say in the debate. The arguments used to develop your own side’s case and rebut the opposite side’s. The information on content provided below is a general overview of what will be expected when you debate. The final logistics of how long you will be debating, how many people will be in your group, and how the debate will unfold (ie: which team speaks first etc.), will all be decided by the group.
Case (argument)- the whole
Introduction – The case your group is making must be outlined in the introduction. This involves stating your main arguments and explaining the general thrust of your case. This must be done briefly since the most important thing is to get on and actually argue it. It is also a good idea to indicate the aspects of the subject to be discussed by each of the team members.
Conclusion – At the end, once everyone has spoken, it is useful to briefly summarize what your group has said and why.
Case (argument)- the parts
Having outlined the whole of your argument, you must then begin to build a case (the parts). The best way to do this is to divide your case into between two and four arguments (or divide your case based on the number of people in your group). You must justify your arguments with basic logic, worked examples, statistics, and quotes. Debating is all about the strategy of “proof”. Proof, or evidence, supporting your assertion is what makes it an argument. There are a number of ways of dividing up cases according to groups of arguments (eg political/economic/social or moral/practical or international/regional etc.) or just according to individual arguments if you can’t group any together. Under each of these basic headings you should then explain the reasoning behind the argument and justify it using the methods outlined above. It is usually best to put the most important arguments first. Here is an example of a case outline:
“The media exert more influence over what people think than the government does. This is true for three reasons. Firstly, most people base their votes on what they see and hear in the media. Secondly, the media can set the political agenda between elections by deciding what issues to report and in how much detail. Thirdly, the media have successfully demonized politicians over the last ten years so that now people are more likely to believe journalists than politicians.”
All of the arguments in this case outline are debatable (almost immediately you can see the counter-arguments), but they give the case a wide range which cover all kinds of issues. The trick is not to come up with a watertight case, but a well argued one. Think: “Can I argue that?”
Rebuttal – the parts
Arguments can be factually, morally or logically flawed. They may be misinterpretations or they may also be unimportant or irrelevant. A team may also contradict one another or fail to complete the tasks they set themselves. These are the basics of rebuttal and almost every argument can be found wanting in at least one of these respects. Here are a few examples:
1. “Compulsory euthanasia at age 70 would save the country money in pensions and healthcare.” This is true, but is morally flawed.
2. “Banning cigarette product placement in films will cause more young people to smoke because it will make smoking more mysterious and taboo.” This is logically flawed, the ban would be more likely to stop the steady stream of images which make smoking seem attractive and glamorous and actually reduce the number of young people smoking.
3. “My partner will then look at the economic issues…” “Blah..blah..blah…(5 minutes later and still no mention of the economic issues)” This is a clear failure to explain a major part of the case and attention should be drawn to it. Even better is when a speaker starts with, “to win this debate there are three things I must do…”. If the speaker fails to do any of those things you can then hang her or him by the noose by repeating their exact words – by his or her own admission he or she cannot have won the debate.
Rebuttal – the whole:
It is very important to have a good perspective of the debate and to identify what the key arguments are. It isn’t enough to rebut a few random arguments here and there. Of course the techniques used above are invaluable but they must be used appropriately. There are a number of things you should do to systematically break down a team’s case:
1. Ask yourself how the other side have approached the case. Is their methodology flawed?
2. Consider what tasks the other side set themselves (if any) and whether they have in fact addressed these.
3. Consider what the general emphasis of the case is and what assumptions it makes. Try to refute these.
4. Take the main arguments and do the same thing. It is not worth repeating a point of rebuttal that has been used by someone else already, but you can refer to it to show that the argument has not stood up. It is not necessary to correct every example used. You won’t have time and your aim is to show the other side’s case to be flawed in the key areas.
