Who built the moon ?


The Moon is certainly the most puzzling object in our corner of the universe. The many visits made by mankind to the Moon during the 20th Century did little to answer any of the pivotal questions regarding its origin or importance. Our closest neighbor in space is probably more of an enigma now than it has ever been. In Who Built the Moon (Watkins 2005), authors Christopher Knight and Alan Butler have opened a discussion for new questions regarding the existence of the Moon.


Although it is extremely large relative to the Earth, the Moon is very light in mass, in fact only 1/81st part the mass of the Earth, despite being just under 1/3rd the size. This is all the more perplexing now that it is known for certain that the Moon is made from exactly the same sort of rock as the Earth – though with very few of the heavy metals that give our world is mass.


The same observable facts about the Moon that made it so attractive and mysterious to our ancient ancestors still display themselves on a regular basis. The most significant of these is the Moon's ability to exactly cover the face of the Sun at the time of total eclipse. This is possible because the Moon is 'exactly' 1/400th part of the size of the Sun and also that its orbit takes it to a position 1/400th of the distance between the Earth and the Sun. In so large a universe as ours outrageous coincidences are certain to happen but this is far from being the end of the story. Such are the orbital characteristics of the Moon that its movements in the sky, when seen from Earth, exactly mirror those of the Sun. As an example, when the Sun sets north of west at midsummer, the full Moon sets south of west at the same time. Although not immediately obvious, this phenomenon might be even more remarkable than the possibility of total eclipse.


The size of a planetary body such as the Moon has little or nothing to do with its orbital characteristics, which are specifically tied to its speed. Yet time and again Knight and Butler came across number parallels that simply defy logic. For example the Earth is 3.66 times larger than the Moon and takes 366 days to go around the Sun. Another peculiarity emerged when it was realized that the Moon, which orbits the Earth in 27.322 days, takes a very neat 10,000 days to complete 366 orbits.


"We discovered so many peculiar mathematical relationships that we were astounded, but we eventually pared them down to a few very specific facts," said Knight. "It amounts to this: The Earth is 109.3 times smaller than the Sun and the Moon is 400 times smaller than the Sun. This inevitably means that the Moon must be 3.66 times smaller than the Earth. Add to this the fact that the Moon orbits at a distance exactly 1/400th that between the Earth and the Sun and what you are left with is so unlikely that it cannot be accounted for by simple chance."

The Mystery Of Water



Ever feel that every day life is crowding in? That matters of the mundane are obscuring your view of the enchantment? Life can be complicated at times. If you find mundane issues are clouding your judgement I have a tonic for you :>)

Take a multi faceted cut glass crystal wash it well. Hang it at a sunny window, take note that the crystal is blessing you with rainbows on your ceiling or walls. Use a large glass, rinse well and fill with water. Hold the glass by the crystal so that tiny intense rainbows are held within the water. As you do this look out of the window into the world, relax and watch as the crystal continues to charge the water.

When you feel ready drink the water, sip it, as you do so visualize the spirit of the rainbow in you life. Feel yourself filling up with crystal light. If you do not finish the water keep it with you and drink it through out the day.You may find that you see things differently in all aspects of your life and the rainbows will continue to bless you with energies that will make your work in the mundane much simplified. Leave the crystal hanging in the window, remember to wash it regularly.

In these short winter days a candle will do just as well for sun light.

Together We Walk The Lands We Love

American Isolation


I have been worried for some time now about the attitudes coming from American individuals, there seems to be even more sensitivety than usual lately, which is why I’m writing this, to clear the air and try and get a grip on what is really happening. Americans, along with everyone else are being asked to “Wake up” to look at our respective governments and cultures and challenge what we see to be part of the conspiracy to enslave all of us. Yet time after time when it comes to the crunch Americans will retreat into a defensive position, quoting propaganda such as “We are Free” yet when a definition is sought for “freedom” none is given.

Clearly we are none of us free and are all the victims of the propaganda machine. We each have to see through it for ourselves, find our way through the rabbit hole, learn critical thinking and make our own minds up, as long as it really is our own minds then rational debate and discussion will not be a problem. What concerns me, particularly recently is that rational debate is very hard with brothers and sisters across the pond, not only for me, many friends of mine are finding that American people are becoming very emotional when their programming is challenged and cut themselves off from further contact.

The whole body scanner in the US and TSA scandal and lack of funds has stopped Americans travelling abroad, this together with the false flag of terrorism means that for the past ten years we have seen very few American tourists in England, travellers are open to new ideas and concepts and may well have taken some home with them. Now with the TSA and body scanners many people will be put off from travelling to America. People who could have told you what is really going on here will not be visiting.

The Wikileaks seems to be designed to ridicule the US government and to highlight the prejudices you may have against foreigners and has already caused a lot of anti American rhetoric here. The call from US senators to make Wikileaks a terrorist organisation has met with sighs and shakes of disapproval, many here are already astonished at how much the American individual will allow their own government to get away with, and are perhaps beyond words.

My worry at the moment is that Americans, the individual men and women that we know and love are becoming increasingly isolated from the rest of the world, that real communication is becoming harder and harder, debate, already hard is now becoming impossible. As even the gentlest attempt at waking up an individual is met with emotive accusations at everyone "hating America" we don’t, we hate enslavement of us all, and most truly believe that unless we are all free no one is, many people are putting up with all sorts of abuse just to stay in touch, we don’t want to loose you Americans, we want your freedom too!

Isolation is a real danger to Americans, you are living in a huge country with a well-oiled propaganda machine, and you have been “dumbed down” for generations both through propaganda and through your diet. You can be told what it’s like out here and many of you will believe it. You government is already shutting down web sites, with out warrants and it seems this situation will escalate. Your government has already built 600 internment camps in the US and the whole Denver Airport situation seems very creepy.

Please, please do not allow yourselves to be isolated any further, dislike me and other “alien nationals” all you want, debate with me all you want, prove me wrong, which I would love, I do not want to think we are all so easily manipulated and I would hate to loose any more friends from over the pond. My maiden name is Alden, highly likely therefore that one of my ancestors sailed on the Mayflower, and I do, as do many others, all over the world think of you as brothers and sisters, members of a great family that is man, my hand will always be held out in friendship, many others are here for you too, please remember that through the days ahead.

With love and best wishes, always

Leslie Nielsen


Leslie William Nielsen, OC (February 11, 1926 – November 28, 2010) was a Canadian-American actor and comedian. Nielsen appeared in over 100 films and 1,500 television programs over the span of his career, portraying over 220 characters. Born in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, Nielsen enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force and worked as a disc jockey before receiving a scholarship to Neighborhood Playhouse. Beginning with a television role in 1948, he quickly expanded to over 50 television appearances two years later. Nielsen appeared in his first films in 1956 and began collecting roles in dramas, westerns, and romance films. Nielsen's lead roles in the films Forbidden Planet (1956) and The Poseidon Adventure (1972) received positive reviews as a serious actor.

Although Nielsen's acting career crossed a variety of genres in both television and films, his deadpan delivery as a doctor in Airplane! (1980) marked a turning point in his career, one that would make him, in the words of film critic Roger Ebert, "the Olivier of spoofs." Nielsen enjoyed further success with The Naked Gun film series, based on a short-lived television series Police Squad he starred in. His portrayal of serious characters seemingly oblivious to (and complicit in) their absurd surroundings gave him a reputation as a comedian. In the final two decades of his career, Nielsen appeared in multiple spoof and parody films, many of which were met poorly by critics but performed well in box office and home media releases. He was recognized with a variety of awards throughout his career and was inducted into both the Canada and Hollywood Walk of Fame. Nielsen married four times and had two daughters from his second marriage. On November 28, 2010, Nielsen died in his sleep in a Fort Lauderdale, Florida hospital of complications from pneumonia.

Wikileaks


WikiLeaks is an international non-profit media organization that publishes submissions of otherwise unavailable documents from anonymous sources and leaks. Its website, launched in 2006, is run by The Sunshine Press. Within a year of its launch, the site claimed a database that had grown to more than 1.2 million documents.

The organization has described itself as having been founded by Chinese dissidents, as well as journalists, mathematicians, and start-up company technologists from the U.S., Taiwan, Europe, Australia, and South Africa. Newspaper articles and The New Yorker magazine (7 June 2010) describe Julian Assange, an Australian journalist and Internet activist, as its director.

WikiLeaks has won a number of awards, including the 2008 Economist magazine New Media Award. In June 2009, WikiLeaks and Julian Assange won Amnesty International's UK Media Award (in the category "New Media") for the 2008 publication of "Kenya: The Cry of Blood – Extra Judicial Killings and Disappearances", a report by the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights about police killings in Kenya. In May 2010, the New York Daily News listed WikiLeaks first in a ranking of "websites that could totally change the news".

In April 2010, WikiLeaks posted video from a 2007 incident in which Iraqi civilians were killed by U.S. forces, on a website called Collateral Murder. In July of the same year, WikiLeaks released Afghan War Diary, a compilation of more than 76,900 documents about the War in Afghanistan not previously available for public review. In October, the group released a package of almost 400,000 documents called the Iraq War Logs in coordination with major commercial media organisations.

WikiLeaks was launched as a user-editable site, but has progressively moved towards a more traditional publication model, and no longer accepts either user comments or edits, which means, according to Jimbo Wales, that it is not a wiki.

(watch the future of food)

Vandana Shiva

Vandana Shiva was born on November 5, 1952 in Dehra Dun, Uttarakhand, India in the valley of Dehradun. Her parents were intimately involved with the natural world; her father was involved in forest conservation and her mother was a farmer. Their love of nature must have played a significant role in shaping her commitment and her devotion to conservation and preservation of those natural resources so essential to life.

Shiva received her early education at St. Mary’s school in Nainital and at the convent of Jesus and Mary. She went on to receive her B.S. in Physics. She was awarded a PhD in philosophy from the University of Western Ontario, Canada in 1978. Her academic training was in the area of nuclear physics; the title of her thesis was, Hidden Variables and Locality in Quantum Theory. She is a renowned scientist who has published over 3000 papers in peer-reviewed journals.

She is well known, moreover, for her activism regarding ecological, environmental and economic issues, especially in relation to healthy food and clean water accessibility and safety. She is a staunch opponent of agribusiness. As we shall see, she is an unrelenting critic in regards to the role of globalization in destabilizing local societies, local economies and what she often refers to as the commons.

The commons represents the resources that are collectively owned or shared by a particular society or between societies. These resources can include amenities such as clean water, public land, accessibility to healthy food, essential services such as fire and police protection, emergency medical care, etc. In some societies the commons is more expansive than others. For example, access to medical care is seen by many countries as an integral part of the commons, while others do not.

Through a good portion of her adult life, Shiva has participated in activist movements especially in regards to the deleterious effects of so-called “Globalization.” We will examine her views in some detail.

Shiva participated in the non-violent Chipko movement during the 1970s in the Garhwal Himalayas of Uttarakhand. The Chipko movement practiced non-violent resistance or satyagraha as developed by Gandhi (see the section on Mahatma Gandhi for more detail). The movement, some of whose main participants were women, adopted the approach of forming human circles around trees to prevent their felling. The noteworthy event in this struggle took place on March 26, 1974, when a group of female peasants in Reni village, Hemwalghati, in Chamoli district, Uttarakhand, India, mobilized to stop the cutting of trees; they were threatened by the contractor working for the state Forest Department. In spite of these threats, hundreds of such grassroots level actions blossomed throughout the region and eventually throughout India. This movement was significantly successful in its original mission.

Shiva is one of the leaders of the International Forum on Globalization, (along with Jerry Mander, Edward Goldsmith, Ralph Nader, Jeremy Rifkin, et al.), and a key figure in the global solidarity movement known as the Alter Globalization Movement. She has long been a staunch and vocal opponent of globalization as epitomized in the policies of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Trade Organization (WTO). What follows is a brief history of these organizations.

It all began in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire in 1944. Economic leaders from the Allied powers met to plan for the aftermath of the Second World War. The institutions that were created are with us to this day exerting enormous influence over the economies of the nations of the world. The IMF and the World Bank had their beginnings here. The IMF is a specialized agency whose stated purpose is to stabilize exchange rates and facilitate international trade. Each member contributes to the fund in gold and currency. The World Bank is otherwise known as the International bank for Reconstruction and Development. The Bretton Woods Conference set up the World Bank, GATT and the IMF so that the US dollar would take the place of gold as the medium of international exchange once the war was over and provide long-term loans to countries devastated by the war. The essential ingredient of the Bretton Woods policies was the dollar, which would replace gold and which the US government could print as much as needed. In October, 1947 GATT was created to ensure the dismantling of trade barriers.

The World Bank lends money to the so-called third world so that they can use that money towards development. The nations that agree to the terms of these loans often find themselves so deeply in debt that they find it difficult to repay. The usual response of the lending institution is to insist that the debtor nation cut back on its social programs. A Structural Adjustment Program (SAP) is often proposed which basically calls upon the debtor nation to make cuts in programs that benefit the poor and often to privatize industries and services if they expect to receive additional loans to stay afloat. Shiva and outspoken opponents of these institutions claim that the net effect of this relationship is that money is loaned to build the appropriate infrastructure to allow access to natural resources and ultimately export these resources to the wealthy countries that have financed the loans. Nations caught up in this relationship find that they have lost much of their economic base especially in agriculture that had previously afforded them a modicum of self-sufficiency.

Shiva’s particular concerns revolve around industrial farming especially as practiced by agribusiness and the role of global institutions in subverting local agriculture. She has spoken out strongly in opposition to industrial agriculture when applied to shrimp farming and its impact on India and what she sees as the rising threat of the use of genetically modified seeds. In response to the application of this new technology to seed production, Shiva started an organization called Navdanya created to stress the importance of biodiversity, practice chemical-free agriculture and free agriculture from monopoly control. According to Shiva, “As farmers are transformed from producers into consumers of corporate patented agriculture products, as markets are destroyed locally and nationally and expanded globally, the myth of “free trade” and the global economy becomes a means for the rich to rob the poor of their right to food and even their right to life.”

To exemplify the deleterious impact of the foreign domination of trade, Shiva sites the horrendous Bengal famine of 1943 (see the section on Muhammad Yunus for further details) that devastated what is now Bangladesh. Three and one-half million Bengalis starved to death as previously described. At the time the region was dominated by the British who engineered the forceful exportation of 80,000 tons of food grain prior to the famine.

In regards to the global economy and agribusiness, Shiva has fundamental and over-lapping concerns. One is the increased use of genetically modified crops worldwide as previously cited. The fact that companies like Monsanto have actually patented genetically modified life forms like soybeans and that the farmers who use these crops cannot legally save seeds creates a serious impediment to small independent farms and the assurance of food safety. An additional concern, from Shiva’s perspective, is the displacement of varieties of agricultural products that have developed over thousands of years of human agriculture by the use of fragile and vulnerable monocultures that may jeopardize food production in the future.

There is the additional pressure of international financial institutions like the World Bank that encourages the shift in the production of food products for the local economy to products intended solely for export. An example of this, and there are many, is the production of cotton for export in the south of India. In addition, there has been an analogous shift in Central and South America towards the production of crops destined for export to be used in so-called “biofuels.”

Vandana Shiva continues to be an outspoken critic of agricultural policies that have been dictated by international financial institutions in the name of globalization. The preservation of the commons is of fundamental importance to her and she has been a strong and powerful advocate for the powerless worldwide.

Wake Up America!


Americans, I have some bad news for you:

You have the worst quality of life in the developed world – by a wide margin.

If you had any idea of how people really lived in Western Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and many parts of Asia, you’d be rioting in the streets calling for a better life. In fact, the average Australian or Singaporean taxi driver has a much better standard of living than the typical American white-collar worker.

I know this because I am an American, and I escaped from the prison you call home.

I have lived all around the world, in wealthy countries and poor ones, and there is only one country I would never consider living in again: The United States of America. The mere thought of it fills me with dread.

Consider this: you are the only people in the developed world without a single-payer health system. Everyone in Western Europe, Japan, Canada, Australia, Singapore and New Zealand has a single-payer system. If they get sick, they can devote all their energies to getting well. If you get sick, you have to battle two things at once: your illness and the fear of financial ruin. Millions of Americans go bankrupt every year due to medical bills, and tens of thousands die each year because they have no insurance or insufficient insurance. And don’t believe for a second that rot about America having the world’s best medical care or the shortest waiting lists: I’ve been to hospitals in Australia, New Zealand, Europe, Singapore, and Thailand, and every one was better than the “good” hospital I used to go to back home. The waits were shorter, the facilities more comfortable, and the doctors just as good.

This is ironic, because you need a good health system more than anyone else in the world. Why? Because your lifestyle is almost designed to make you sick.

Let’s start with your diet: Much of the beef you eat has been exposed to fecal matter in processing. Your chicken is contaminated with salmonella. Your stock animals and poultry are pumped full of growth hormones and antibiotics. In most other countries, the government would act to protect consumers from this sort of thing; in the United States, the government is bought off by industry to prevent any effective regulations or inspections. In a few years, the majority of all the produce for sale in the United States will be from genetically modified crops, thanks to the cozy relationship between Monsanto Corporation and the United States government. Worse still, due to the vast quantities of high-fructose corn syrup Americans consume, fully one-third of children born in the United States today will be diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes at some point in their lives...........

(murder solved)

the first man killed on live television


An official investigation by the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA), conducted from 1976 to 1979, concluded that Oswald shot President Kennedy as a result of a probable conspiracy. This conclusion of a likely conspiracy contrasts with the earlier conclusion by the Warren Commission that the President was assassinated by a lone gunman.

In the ensuing four decades since the assassination, theories have been proposed or published that detail organized conspiracies to kill the President. These theories implicate, among others, Cuban President Fidel Castro, the anti-Castro Cuban community, Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson, the Mafia, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), E. Howard Hunt, and the Eastern Bloc – or perhaps some combination of these.

Others claim that Oswald was not involved at all. Shortly after his arrest, Oswald insisted he was a "patsy". Oswald never admitted any participation in the assassination and was murdered two days after being taken into police custody.

Many researchers have found fault with the official Warren Commission version of events, identifying what they say are inconsistencies and errors in the panel's findings. Some of the authors include Mark Lane, Penn Jones, Jr., Jim Garrison, Jim Marrs, David S. Lifton, Gerald McKnight, Henry Hurt, Michael L. Kurtz, and David Kaiser.

Penn Jones, Jim Marrs and Ralph Schuster have suggested that the number of deaths of people connected with the investigation of the assassination is suspiciously large. Polls have indicated that large numbers of Americans believe there was a conspiracy to kill President Kennedy. These same polls also show that there is no agreement on who else may have been involved. A 2003, Gallup poll reported that 75% of Americans do not believe that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone.

No need for NATO

love, forgiveness and compassion


The founder of the Fetzer Institute, (John Earl Fetzer), was familiar with the call of the sacred within the secular. Trained as an electrical engineer, John E. Fetzer began his career in 1931 by designing, building, and operating his own radio station that he then expanded into a Michigan-based, multistate broadcasting empire including radio, television, cable, and closed-circuit music transmission. In his private life, John Fetzer had an intense intellectual curiosity about the "unseen elements" of life. He studied various forms of meditation, prayer, philosophy, and positive thinking, and explored other ways of healing. Throughout his life he was also passionately interested in baseball, an enthusiasm that led him to purchase the Detroit Tigers baseball club. In his later years, the sale of the team and his media holdings resulted in the endowment of the Fetzer Institute. The interests that shaped John Fetzer's life can be seen as the seedbed for the questions that define the work of the Fetzer Institute: How can the secular and sacred elements of life be better integrated? How can the insights of science and the powers of technological innovation be utilized to explore the capacities of the mind and spirit? How can the wisdom and insight gained through inner exploration be used to better our individual and collective health? And how can the entrepreneurial spirit and financial resources gained from the American business sector be used in the service of creating a better world?

During World War II, he was appointed the national radio censor for the U.S. Office of Censorship and created voluntary censorship of more than 900 radio stations so that they would not broadcast information that would be beneficial to the enemy. When the war started to wind down, Fetzer began asking for smaller and smaller budgets to run the office and began firing the 15,000 people employed by the office. When the war ended, he closed up shop and stored all the information in the basement of the National Archives. He said, "I'm convinced if we hadn't, the Office of Censorship would still be with us today, and I shudder to think how powerful it might be." (read more) (fetzer.org)

Pablo Picasso - "Guernica"


"Art is a lie that makes us realize the truth"

...Pablo Picasso...


Arguably Picasso’s most famous work is his depiction of the German bombing of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War—Guernica. This large canvas embodies for many the inhumanity, brutality and hopelessness of war. Asked to explain its symbolism, Picasso said, "It isn’t up to the painter to define the symbols. Otherwise it would be better if he wrote them out in so many words! The public who look at the picture must interpret the symbols as they understand them."

Comments on -US Drone Strikes in Pakistan-Bill Roggio

Agha,

Pakistanas well as reporting from The *Long War Journal*. Given the Taliban's

ANALYSIS OF BILL ROGGIOS DRONE ANALYSIS AND BEAUTIFUL CHARTS


My dear Friend


This is waste of time and ammo . It is not changing the likely outcome of afghan war. From a close angle I see the extremists adopt improved and subtler methods !

Long War Journal is a commercial site and they have to attract readers and thus the beautiful charts ?

What has the US dine to eradicate drugs in last ten years ?

Has these drone strikes made the Afghan roads in the areas south of line Kabul Shindand safer for Afghan civilians ?

The whole premise that the extremists should present themselves as sitting ducks to US drone strikes in an area some 20 miles x 50 miles is fallacious !

Suicide bombers and IEDs can train in any area other than the above narrow strip !

How correct is Roggios data ! The charts are beautiful and Roggios site attracts traffic ! But is that the strategic objective of US military in Afghanistan ? To make Roggios site commercially viable ?

How reliable is the Humint ? We have had the Muslim 786 Drone attack on the CIA Quixotes in Khost last December 2009 !

Lets be frank that the perception on the Pakistan side is that USA wants to destroy the Pakistani state and this is their real objective while Al Qaeda is only the stated objective ?

What has the US done to change this perception ? This is being reinforced every day ! As they said “fear made men believe in the worst “ ?

To say that Russia will support the USA fight a victorious war in Afghanistan is fallacious !

Support a country designing missile shields and attempting to encircle Russia in every manner ! Constantly holding dry runs of war against Russia !

If Afghanistan is trumpeted by USA as its victory over USSR , WOULD RUSSIA ALLOW A 100,000 US MUSKETEERS TO LEAVE AFGHANISTAN VICTORIOUS ?

One fact is clear ! The US casualties are low which means that there is no real fight ! US companies in Afghanistan are making big bucks !

The defense contractors you have like RONCO,Dyncorps,Xe, SSSI ,Global ,MPRI etc are making good money selling HUMNIT to the US Government ! These companise are hiring Pashto interpreters , Balochi interpreters and what not !

Louis Burger , Fluor,Black and Veach ,Red Star , Mina Corps ,TRYCO ,Halliburton,KBR and Seven Seas may your Afghan success stories ! Certainly private business did well in Afghanistan ! But what about the soldiers real job i.e the war ?

What is the on ground situation ? From 2001 to 2007 I could travel all the 1050 kilometres from Kabul to Herat in my private vehicle without a single weapon to defend myself ! Since 2007 I cannot ! How easy it is to enter Kabul ! I have driven many times from Jalalabad to Kabul after 2200 hours !

How good is the military virtue of the Afghan Army ? A military machine that the US and its hirelings destroyed in between 1978 and 1992 has still not been created ?

The question is how good is Roggios data in real tangible terms ?

You have a US force in Afghanistan surrounded by all Afghanistans neigbours who want the US to fail for various reasons ?

You pound flies with hammers with your mighty drones ? And this is the cause for a martial celebration !

The americans need to read more about the greatest army in history the Wehrmacht or the Red Army which did the real fighting for the US ! War is not New York Stock exchange and the enemy is not Dillinger who the FBI or BATF can overwhelmingly outnumber and outgun !

Datta Khel is not Ruby Ridge where neo NAZIs from BATF , FBI etc can shoot a man of honours wife like a partridge !

No war in history was won by air power alone while the 100,000 overpaid , over fed musketeers have failed to pacify Afghanistan , failed to interdict the flow of 90 % of worlds heroin to Europe and the states !

Perhaps there is a method in this madeness !

How is that Ali Jalali the most outstanding Afghan professional had to be sacrificed by the US to please the drug mafia in Afghanistan ?

I am not a religious man and this is not about religion !

The bottom line is that US policy since many years is manipulated by the US businesses may it be Oil and Gas, Wall Street or construction ! The sacred business of war has been sub letted to commercial businesses !

There is a deep question mark about Drones and I will base my assessment that God may not be with both drones or the characters that they are targeting !

The other side has an independent will and all may not proceed as Field Marshal Petraeus may desire or as a Wall Street sponsored political supremo may decide !

You have a secretary of state more fit to be in the Wallmart , clueless about strategy or war and a naieve spinster (philosophically) who has never set a squadron in the field !

This is war and it has less or good luck and bad luck and more of logical consequences of our actions and our adversaries actions !

best regards

Agha

COUNTERPOINTS

The Exceptional and the Mundane

The dreamer and the realist

The non-conformist and the boyscout

The believer and the skeptic

The romantic and the pragmatic

The obedient and the truant

Each the antithesis of the other, not understanding but strangely drawn to each other.
seeking that which is beyond them, that which sparks their curiosity but their nature cannot allow,

The Mundane, such simplicity and satisfaction with life that mediocrity is acceptable,

The exceptional, such ambition and a thirst for excellence that nothing else is accepted or expected,

Maybe its the beauty in honesty that brings about such purity,
When pretences are put aside, and guards let down.

when people look beyond the obvious, the superficial, that which wasn't built to last
that counterpoints allow themselves to see each other and see themselves in each other,

Falling hopelessly and hopefully for one another, one riding riding on the dreams of the other, the other finding stability in the other's certainty.

The skeptic fascinated and at the same time awed by the believers blind faith in that which he cannot control,
the believer intrigued by the skeptics never ending questions and curiosity about that which he cannot understand,

The obedient secretly admiring the courage of the truant and openly despising his folly,

The non-conformist impressed by the discipline and obedience of the boyscout.

When we learn that we alone cannot suffice, we put away selfish pride, and learn to compromise.
the essence of life lying not in the success of the entity but rather the whole,
if only we could adopt humility, avoid the ambiguity of duplicity, encourage simplicity, and learn to live in perfect symmetry.

"Washington Merry-Go-Round" 1952


The 1952 Washington D.C. UFO incident, also known as the Washington flap or the Washington National Airport Sightings, was a series of unidentified flying object reports from July 12 to July 29, 1952, over Washington D.C. The most publicized sightings took place on consecutive weekends, July 19–20 and July 26–27.

Longtime ufologist Richard H. Hall, who served as the assistant director of NICAP and as the director of the Fund for UFO Research, writes: "The summer 1952 UFO sighting wave was one of the largest of all time, and arguably the most significant of all time in terms of the credible reports and hardcore scientific data obtained."

Turritopsis nutricula


Turritopsis nutricula , the potentially immortal jellyfish, is a hydrozoan whose medusa, or jellyfish, form can revert to the polyp stage after becoming sexually mature. It is the only known case of a metazoan capable of reverting completely to a sexually immature, colonial stage after having reached sexual maturity as a solitary stage. It does this through the cell development process of transdifferentiation. Cell transdifferentiation is when the jellyfish "alters the differentiated state of the cell and transforms it into a new cell." In this process the medusa of the immortal jellyfish is transformed into the polyps of a new polyp colony. First, the umbrella reverts itself and then the tentacles and mesoglea get resorbed. The reverted medusa then attaches itself to the substrate by the end that had been at the opposite end of the umbrella and starts giving rise to new polyps to form the new colony. Theoretically, this process can go on infinitely, effectively rendering the jellyfish biologically immortal, although in nature, most Turritopsis, like other medusae, are likely to succumb to predation or disease in the plankton stage, without reverting to the polyp form.. No single specimen has been observed for any extended period, so it is impossible to estimate the age of an individual, and so even if this species has the potential for immortality, there is no laboratory evidence of many generations surviving from any individual.

Biological immortality

Most jellyfish species have a relatively fixed life span, which varies by species from hours to many months (long-lived mature jellyfish spawn every day or night [the time is also rather fixed and species-specific]). The medusa of Turritopsis nutricula is the only form known to have developed the ability to return to a polyp state, by a specific transformation process that requires the presence of certain cell types (tissue from both the jellyfish bell surface and the circulatory canal system). Careful laboratory experiments have revealed that all stages of the medusae, from newly released to fully mature individuals, can transform back into polyps. The transforming medusa is characterized first by deterioration of the bell and tentacles, with subsequent growth of a perisarc sheet (see hydroid) and stolons, and finally feeding polyps. Polyps further multiply by growing additional stolons, branches and then polyps, to form colonial hydroids. This ability to reverse the life cycle (in response to adverse conditions) is probably unique in the animal kingdom, and allows the jellyfish to bypass death, rendering Turritopsis nutricula potentially biologically immortal. Studies in the laboratory showed that 100% of specimens could revert to the polyp stage, but so far the process has not been observed in nature, in part because the process is quite rapid and field observations at the right moment in time are unlikely. In spite of this remarkable ability, most Turritopsis medusae are likely to fall victim to the general hazards of life as plankton, including being eaten by other animals, or succumbing to disease.

Haiti Protesters Shot Dead

Haiti remains tense in the wake of Monday’s violent clashes between protesters and United Nations troops that left at least two dead and 16 wounded in Cap-Haitien, the country’s second largest city.

The port city, approximately 300 kilometers north of the capital of Port-au-Prince, was still largely paralyzed on Tuesday, with schools, public offices and businesses shut, streets blocked by barricades of burning tires and sporadic gunfire reported. The bridge leading to the city’s airport was blocked with welded metal barriers.

The United Nations sent a contingent of Spanish troops to reinforce its garrison in Cap-Haitien.

Violence erupted on Monday after thousands of demonstrators took to the city’s streets to protest against the UN occupation force (known as MINUSTAH, for United Nations Stabilization Mission In Haiti), which many blame for the cholera epidemic that has now claimed more than 1,000 lives, and to denounce the government of Prime Minister Rene Preval for failing to adequately confront the spread of the disease.

The UN troops and Haitian police attempted to disperse the crowd with tear gas, setting off a stampede in which several people were injured. Demonstrators responded with a hail of rocks and, according to UN officials, gunfire. The troops fired on the crowd, killing one youth with a bullet through the back in Quartier Morin, just outside the city. Another man was shot to death in Cap-Haitien. The number of wounded was reportedly as high as 16, with several in serious condition.......

We Won't Fly


The Plan is Simple

1.If you absolutely, positively must fly, opt out of the scanners. Do it to protect your health and privacy.

2.If you can avoid flying, don’t fly. Hit the airlines in the pocketbook until the scanners and gropers are gone. Make the airlines work for us.

3.Raise holy hell. Register your disapproval of the scanners and gropers to your airline, your hotel and all government officials who claim to work for you. Educate your community.


For your Health

Backscatter X-ray uses ionizing radiation, a known cumulative health hazard, to produce images of passengers’ bodies. Children, pregnant women, the elderly, and those with defective DNA repair mechanisms are considered to be especially susceptible to the type of DNA damage caused by ionizing radiation. Also at high risk are those who have had, or currently have, skin cancer. Ionizing radiation’s effects are cumulative, meaning that each time you are exposed you are adding to your risk of developing cancer. Since the dosage of radiation from the backscatter X-ray machines is absorbed almost entirely by the skin and tissue directly under the skin, averaging the dose over the whole body gives an inaccurate picture of the actual harm. In their letter of concern, the UCSF faculty members noted that "the dose to the skin could be dangerously high". The eyes are particularly susceptible to the effects of radiation, and as one study found allowing the eyes to be exposed to radiation can lead to an increased incidence of cataracts.


For your Privacy

Aside from the health risks of these devices, the fact remains that they allow strip searches to be conducted on a wide-scale level. That they are automated and mechanical in no way changes the fact that when a government agent looks beneath your clothing you are being strip searched. These strip searches are being performed without any probable cause or reasonable suspicion, as primary screening. A recent article in the San Diego Entertainer on August 31, 2010 stated that "the scans are detailed enough to identify a person’s gender… to identify a passenger’s surgery scars, or to discern whether a woman is on her menstrual cycle or not." Although the TSA purports to be staffed by highly trained professionals who respect the privacy and dignity of travelers, TSA Screener Rolando Negrin was ridiculed by other TSA screeners for having a small penis after being imaged by an AIT device (AKA porno-scanner).

The Sad Truth To Why Most People May Not Wake Up!

The Story so Far


So as far as I can gather what’s been going on is two thousand years ago someone came up with a plan, they would steal the magic from the people, they would do it gradually so people wouldn’t notice at first, the fairies, gentle folk, would offer a gift only to be turned away with harshness. Slowly, slowly they began to fade.

Each generation succumbed to the mundane slightly more, people were happy and living their own lives, so who would think that cruel men had thought of an idea to enslave the world. Bartering and sharing was to stop. There needed to be a measure on things.

Country folks laughed at first, they enjoyed the trade and they knew what an item was worth, an egg was an egg and a cow still a cow. ‘Twas the people in the towns that found it easiest to exchange a coin for a gift. Then it spread gradually till at last everyone born thought that everything had a price and the measure was coin.

The people who first thought of the plan had decided that they would keep all the money in their families, not share it at all with anybody. As time went on they accumulated more and more money, they thought having all the money and enslaving the world would give them power and make them happy.

The Gods were not to be allowed their powers, each legend and fairy tale was to be discredited, there was to be only one god, messengers from the gods were to be destroyed. The first messenger they murdered was Jesus then they hi jacked his teachings to confuse and control people.

It was hard for them at first, people stuck to the old ways, traditions, the things they knew to be true. Then the Church they’d established began to be jealous of the wise ones, the elders, it was natural for people who wanted comfort, advice or just a good old chin wag to turn to the elders. This was when the church began to persecute Witches and other community elders. The Bible was even re written so witches could be murdered.

Witches who held trust with the gods helped to enable magic to flow around the world and fairies could always be sure of a warm welcome at their hearths. It became harder and harder for people from other realms to pass into the mundane, and to be honest they didn’t mind much because the mundane was always a strange place with curious ideas and ways. So the fairies began to stay in other realms.

As time went on the descendants of the people who had decided they wanted to steal the earth and enslave people grew more desperate, they looked at the people and saw that they were happy, they fell in love, had children and enjoyed life. Sometimes life was hard but good people would always share and life would go on. The descendants grew jealous again.

They knew they had all the money and could make all the laws but they weren’t happy. They tortured and killed more innocent people to try and find the truth. They were told more lies because folk are cunning and know how to keep secrets. They were told they could never be happy until they found the truth. “Where was truth?” “Truth is in beauty.”

This is when the descendants came up with the plan to steal truth back from the people they plotted and connived and watched. In London the girls were sweet and kind, if they had no money they earned some however they could. The descendents watched, they saw the sparkle as ladies from the realms of the Fey visited their sisters. The monster of jealousy grew within their hearts and they decided to make their move.

A man watched at a broken window, he watched a girl sleeping, waited until the fairy sparkles came and blessed the sister they missed so much, they could see that the girl was tired and hungry, her clothes weren’t new and her bed clothes were old and tattered. So they blessed her and in her dreams the girl danced with her fairy sisters again.



The man crept away and made his report to the descendants they decided that here was truth, aha if they had truth they would be happy! When the man returned to the girl’s window he had his bag with him. He crept into the room and took out his knife determined to find truth. He cut the girls windpipe first so she could not scream then working quickly, before she died he cut into her body.

When he found nothing he was sent out again and again, he was sworn to find truth and determined to complete his mission. The fairies knew straight away what was happening and feared to come to their sisters in case they brought them into more danger. The Fey were shocked at what could happen to people in the mundane world and as many of the witches were gone it was difficult to develop lines of communication.

The descendants of the people who first decided to steal the world from people came up with another plan, instead of working on the land and in cottage industries they would force people to work five days a week, they would pay them just enough to live and then they would have less time to be happy. They began to build factories and offices. If people wanted to have enough money to live they would have to work long hours.

Generations were born and began to believe that people must work to live. Government took over educating children, true tales began to be lost, nursery rhymes that had kept children safe were rewritten and their meanings lost. Teachers began to confuse children, family ties were cut and more and more the children of the universe began to be lost and frightened and unhappy.

In other realms the gods and goddesses heard the children call, the fey still kept faith with people in the mundane and took messages back and forth across the ether. The descendants tried to destroy all the messengers they could but the Fey are brave and strong and persisted still. Mother Nature herself was worried but the descendants had caused so much damage to the world she was very busy trying to repair the damage.

People who could not be happy any more in the mundane began to escape to the ether, there were always others waiting to help them, guide them through the forest. Until finally everyone learned how to escape to the ether and the gods knew and blessed everybody, although people were charmed by the mundane and didn’t always remember their dreams, the gods and people from other realms all began to look at the mundane. They thought their messages had been getting through, that people were happy and kind still to each other.

Two thousand years is not long in eternity but they felt ashamed that they had stayed away for so long. They want to help not least because the way the earth was being controlled was hurting Mother Nature. The descendants of people who had stolen it were trapped in the mundane and knew they could never have any real happiness or true power. They had again grown jealous and had decided to destroy the planet so no one could be happy.

The people from other realms could not let this happen, where would everyone live if our one world was gone? Mother Nature always a kind and loving mother began to be angry, she shook and rumbles but no one was listening and as only innocents were hurt by her protests she began to be very unhappy. No one wanted to see Mother Nature so very sad so everyone tried to decide what should be done.............

USA -NATO -DRUGS TRAFFICKING-AFGHANISTAN-CENTCOM-DEA-ANTI NARCOTICS STRATEGY-WAR ON TERROR


USA -NATO -DRUGS TRAFFICKING-AFGHANISTAN-CENTCOM-DEA-ANTI NARCOTICS STRATEGY-WAR ON TERROR

MY ASSESSMENT OF DRUGS TRAFFICKING CARRIED OUT FOR A NON STATE CLIENT IN 2006 AS A CONSULTANT

MY ASSESSMENT OF DRUGS TRAFFICKING CARRIED OUT FOR A NON STATE CLIENT IN 2006 AS A CONSULTANT
IT IS NINE YEARS THAT THE USA/NATO OCCUPIED AFGHANISTAN .

ONE UNIQUE ACHIEVEMENT OF US/NATO FORCES IS THAT IN THESE NINE YEARS AFGHANISTAN BECAME THE SUPPLIER OF SOME 75 % OF WORLDS HARD CORE DRUGS LIKE HEROIN , MORPHIA PASTE OPIUM  AND HASHISH !

DRUGS ARE BEING MANUFACTURED RIGHT IN THE AREA WHERE SOME 80 % OF NATO FORCES DOING THE ACTUAL FIGHTING IN AFGHANISTAN ARE CONCERNED , I.E HELMAND AND KANDAHAR.A GREAT COMPLIMENT TO THE EFFICIENCY OF US FORCES !

IN 2005 AFGHANISTANS INTERIOR MINISTER ALI JALALI WAS FORCED TO RESIGN BECAUSE THE US COULD DO WITHOUT JALALI BUT NOT WITHOUT THE DRUG MAFIA THAT JALALI WAS TRYING TO TARGET  !
IN THE COURSE OF MY RESEARCH I MET  MANY ANTI DRUG OFFICIALS IN AFGHANISTAN AND PAKISTAN BUT NONE SEEM TO BE MUCH CONCERNED WITH DRUG TRAFFICKING !

THE BILLION DOLLAR OR THE TRILLION DOLLAR QUESTION IS HOW ARE THE DRUGS BEING PRODUCED AND EXPORTED RIGHT UNDER THE NOSE OF THE MOST HIGHLY PAID AND WELEL EQUIPPED ARMY IN THE WORLD !

BADAKHSHAN AND TAKHAR THE CENTRE OF TAJIK DRUG MAFIA HAVE HARDLY ANY NATO FORCES !

AT LEAST 60 TO 70 % OF AFGHAN DRUGS ARE BEING TRANSPORTED VIA PAKISTAN WHOSE BORDER IS CLOSELY MONITORED BY US AND NATO FORCES !

PAKISTANS ANTI NARCOTICS TASK FORCE ALSO TARGETS SMALL PEDDLERS WHILE THE MAJOR SHIPPERS ARE VIPS ? IT OCCASIONALLY TARGETS HEAVY WEIGHTS BUT WITH A POLITICAL AGENDA LIKE RAHMAT SHAH AFRIDI WHO WAS TARGETED FOR BEING AN INTELLECTUALLY HONEST MAN AND WRITING THE TRUTH IN FRONTIER POST.

THE QUESTION IS NOT THAT US FORCES ARE CORRUPT BUT POLICY MAKES ALL STATE ACTORS PART OF THE DRUG MAFIA WITH A STATED POLICY OF STATE INTEREST MIXED PERHAPS WITH A LITTLE PERSONAL INTEREST ! NO DOUBT THAT MANY EX ANTI DRUG OFFICIALS BECAME OWNERS OF BIG BUSINESSES IN UAE  AND SO MANY OTHER PLACES !

SOME OWN TEXTILE MILLS AND CEMENT FACTORIES !

EVERYTHING GOES IN US OCCUPIED AFGHANISTAN AND ITS TACTICAL GARBAGE COLLECTOR , SUBSIDIARY VASSAL PAKISTAN !

IF YOU WANT TO INVEST IN DRUGS COME TO AFGHANISTAN FOR PRODUCTION AND TO PAKISTAN FOR TRANSPORTATION AND UAE OFF COURSE FOR HIGHER STRATEGY !

THE TRILLION DOLLAR QUESTION IS HOW MANY PERCENT ARE BEING TRANSPORTED BY AIR VIA KABUL , KANDAHAR , KUNDUZ , BAGRAM AND HERAT ?

The money and valuables found in this one house alone in Mexico just next to USA , would be enough to pay for health insurance for every man woman and child in the U.S.A. for 12 years!

There are believed to be approximately 27 more of these houses in Mexico alone not to mention the ones in other countries who are enriching themselves in the drug trade.

These people have so much money, they make the Arab oil sheiks look like welfare recipients.

Their money can buy the best politicians, the best cops, and the best judges.   Whatever they need, they just throw down stacks of cash and it is theirs!

This is why the drug problem is so difficult to fight.
