Zeitgeist, the first film, had a phenomenal impact with young people who had the itch, that itch that says - this ain't right, something ain't right with the world. After dealing with organised religion and the monetary system, many felt their itch very well scratched, and with that, a 'cult' (and I am using that word very carefully and in the usual context) following developed, including the &lt;a href="http://thezeitgeistmovement.com/"&gt;Zeitgeist Movement&lt;/a&gt;. ZMV talks more about society's problems and how our current system is, well, rubbish.  Peter Joesph then goes on to elaborate on the solution in more detail than ever. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;An interesting debate developed after &lt;a href="http://www.freedomainradio.com/"&gt;Stefan Molyneux&lt;/a&gt; posted a response on his YouTube channel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Pg5K07c72Tw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This was followed up by Peter Joesph himself, releasing the following response.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ozy52bZ6JTw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stefan than released another response which as far as I am aware of has not been replied to yet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/b9WEWcbfnHg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And here's my review of all these reviews, and a perspective on the debate. Stefan's first video I felt was rather condescending and his points would have much better received if he hadn't been laughing at his own jokes all the time. For a philosopher its all a bit strange, you'd have thought he would have been more, well, wise. He did also use some fairly weak circumstantial examples to criticise ZMV with. I think this did a lot to agitate Peter Joesph and shape his tone of reply. &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;However &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;in Stefan's reply to the reply, his tone gets more serious, as he probably realises his earlier mistakes. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;I tend to agree with Stefan's overall philosophy and also assessment of ZMV. The Zeitgeist solution involving the resource-based economy and central planning is a scary concept and no matter how well intentioned this system might be, it is still a system, and systems need to be run by someone. That opens the small problem of power being available, power corrupting - which it always has and always will do, not least because psychopaths drift towards positions of power whilst the rest of us stand by and watch because, well, we're too nice. Stefan challenges Peter to agree to a non-aggression means of implementing the Zeitgeist solution and its an interesting point that goes unmentioned by PJ in his films. What about people who don't want to be part of the new system...what happens to them? We can't help but look at history for examples. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6735383821693864337-7087866529076176188?l=challengingyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/feeds/7087866529076176188/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2011/02/debating-zeitgeist-moving-forward.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/7087866529076176188'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/7087866529076176188'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2011/02/debating-zeitgeist-moving-forward.html' title='Debating Zeitgeist Moving Forward'/><author><name>Jon Hoff</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15218703884601180050</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='14' src='http://ab.bebo.com/ab/large/2005030813/9831954a2664179b128288488l.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://img.youtube.com/vi/4Z9WVZddH9w/default.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735383821693864337.post-6228564524660013843</id><published>2010-12-09T17:57:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-12-09T20:40:04.882-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Students protest in the UK, media fawns to the elite ruling class</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;The British press, a fawning, spineless sorry excuse for a profession, are pulling on the heartstrings of the sleeping masses who are already fed up and chilled to the bone at home by the fireside. The Daily Mail, the most despicable of the bunch when it comes to this sort of thing, leads with the story of Prince Charles's car getting pelted with paint bombs and being attacked by an angry mob - which, strangely, was led directly through a protest area.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6p5qxFdx9Ko/TQGMgtzfPlI/AAAAAAAAAbY/vjGNrFXC66I/s1600/charles.bmp"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 156px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6p5qxFdx9Ko/TQGMgtzfPlI/AAAAAAAAAbY/vjGNrFXC66I/s320/charles.bmp" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5548870709576416850" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hmm, how did that happen? Terrible planning by MI5, wot wot. Amazing how the photographers were right there to take close up pictures of the shocked Prince. He does have a bloody good PR company you know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The press go on to describe the 'horror' and terror of the precious couple, as the 'baying mob' surrounded them. The Telegraph says it was an 'attack'. I think their bombproof, bullet proof Rolls Royce was fairly safe to be in.  Quite an amusing place to stare out at the unhappy serfs on the street. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In not one paper is there any kind of mention of a genuine cause for social unrest, a rise in tuition fees that will either cripple prospective students with debt or put them off higher education completely. And then what...what choices will this generation have, and how can the press be so short sighted in ignoring the issue. This is of course the bigger picture and unfortunately emotion and patriotism sell papers;  publishing a picture of a student swinging from a Union Jack on the Cenotaph will move more copies than a boring article on social justice. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Cricketer Graham Swann, at the height of popularity - a wealthy young man commenting from the sunny climes of Australia on Twitter says:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6p5qxFdx9Ko/TQGQzMehnGI/AAAAAAAAAbg/17GRG4KmOa0/s1600/swann.bmp"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 136px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6p5qxFdx9Ko/TQGQzMehnGI/AAAAAAAAAbg/17GRG4KmOa0/s400/swann.bmp" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5548875425094147170" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Swanny has over 100,000 followers on Twitter. I'm sorry Graham, stick to the spin bowling and clowning around in your &lt;a href="http://www.ecb.co.uk/news/england/england-in-australia-2010-11/swannys-ashes-video-diary/"&gt;Ashes Video Diary&lt;/a&gt; please. First of all, the vote is already passed, 323 to 302. A majority of just 21. That means almost half of parliament along with the student unions and students themselves have spent some time debating the issue. It's passed, don't you get it? Despite vociferous opposition from a very large and important part of society, they passed it. No amount of polite, articulate argument is going to change anything. The greedy, selfish and bloated MP's in parliament passed it, safe in the knowledge that &lt;i&gt;their&lt;/i&gt; kids won't be affected. P&lt;a href="http://flashnewstoday.com/index.php/swann-broad-want-to-join-ipl/"&gt;robably yours neither Swanny&lt;/a&gt;. The thought that we have an open and fair democracy is laughable. The reports say that Parliament Square was surrounded by a 1000 police officers, as the politicians voted away the future of many many lives. Probably not wise to let in 30,000 protesters, but also not wise to ignore public opinion this strong. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I'm sure many, like Graham Swann, were outraged this morning with images of the capital being 'violated'. However, let's just take a quick reality check. I'm not going to defend anyone defacing the Cenotaph but please - it's fascism to use it as a stick to beat the entire movement with. If those glorious dead from the Great War could see how it got to this stage, I am sure they'd be stood there with their placards amongst the student protesters. Most of them were young men too. They didn't give their lives for out of control private banks to bring the world economy to its knees, and then use public tax money - your labour - to save themselves. And this is the result. Austerity measures home and abroad are bringing down the quality of life, which I believe to be an intentional climax to a long term plan, but that's irrelevant. The point is it's happening, and I have respect that people so young in my country are very aware of what this means. More so than the armchair upper-middle class who sit and comment in disgust at shop windows on Oxford Street being broken.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;object width="640" height="385"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/CrgzpPvJxmQ?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_GB"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/CrgzpPvJxmQ?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_GB" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As with any genuine protest movement, the line is crossed by some and this can sometimes lead to a loss of public opinion. Is it too far-fetched to suggest that there is some state/intelligence involvement in the more radical elements of the protest group? Is there evidence of government's using agent provocateurs in the past? Of course there is. It's not hard to figure out. &lt;a href="http://aangirfan.blogspot.com/2010/12/agents-provocateurs-london-student-demo.html"&gt;The case of the abandoned police van&lt;/a&gt; - a photo opportunity for the press - you can even see the 'police aware' sticker on the windscreen! Then of course, there are some people out on the streets taking advantage of the situation too. Anarchists maybe. However, it only reflects the civil unrest felt across broader sections of society, that others also have the urge to take to the streets. In times of economic andsocietal breakdown and government oppression, radicalism takes hold. Certainly, a whole swath of young people have just been radicalised by being ignored by their elected officials, most notably &lt;a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/profiles/nick-clegg-no-apologies-no-regrets-no-shame-2151708.html"&gt;Nick Clegg&lt;/a&gt; and his Liberal Democrats. &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So with one portion of society feeling distanced and forgotten by a wealthy ruling class, other members of society who are psychologically unstable come out of the woodwork, driven on by their hatred of humanity and disdain for freedom.  A comment in the Telegraph is a chilling example:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6p5qxFdx9Ko/TQGk4FI346I/AAAAAAAAAbo/WpWBvRclk3g/s1600/comments.bmp"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 279px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6p5qxFdx9Ko/TQGk4FI346I/AAAAAAAAAbo/WpWBvRclk3g/s400/comments.bmp" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5548897499256185762" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And there you have it. This is how tyranny takes hold. I ask, which is more dangerous - the protester on the street, or the man who does nothing and applauds when the troops roll in and start brandishing their batons and tazers.   &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Through the press and propaganda, the government convinces the general population that the protesters are radical and should be feared, that they are just a bunch of crazed bloodthirsty lunatics, ignoring the socio-economic situation that caused the problem in the first place.  The public calls for the solution, which in some cases involves violent repression. Incredibly, the majority will support it without realising they are building their own invisible prison around them. They spit hateful remarks because &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;their&lt;/span&gt; selfish lives have been interrupted, &lt;i&gt;their &lt;/i&gt;twisted view of the world distorted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Revolt, disobedience and social unrest are key factors in any truly free social democracy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a letter to James Madison in 1787, Thomas Jefferson wrote:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Malo periculosam, libertatem quam quietam servitutem&lt;/span&gt;. Even this evil is productive of good. It prevents the degeneracy of government, and nourishes a general attention to the public affairs. I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Malo periculosam, libertatem quam quietam servitutem&lt;/span&gt;. Translates literally as "I prefer the tumult of liberty to the quiet of servitude." - or alternatively: &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;I prefer dangerous freedom to peaceful slavery&lt;/span&gt;." &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Amen to that. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div

Every day the news reader is choc full of interesting links and videos, there's barely enough time to digest all this information. I'll just note a couple of the good ones I have perused very recently.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First up is one of the mad hatters in the House of Lords telling the other half-dozing peers an insanely important piece of information that is basically as follows - a private company is attempting to BUY the British economy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;object width="640" height="385"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Y8tvz8oICgg?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Y8tvz8oICgg?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just mind boggling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next up is a 90 minute interview with one of the great cult figures of research into 'alternative' theories on ancient civilizations, Graham Hancock. Here he is chatting to David Wilcock, another well know researcher and lecturer who we'll come to in a minute.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the interview they talk through Graham's books and cover many interesting subjects. This is a great way to spend some time, but then again you could watch &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvRRbFgMO4A"&gt;this&lt;/a&gt; and similar things as well if its too much for you...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;object width="640" height="385"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/WvNEVvHgOOY?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/WvNEVvHgOOY?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;David Wilcock who interviews Hancock above is an interesting guy in his own right. His website is &lt;a href="http://divinecosmos.com/"&gt;Divine Cosmos&lt;/a&gt; which covers a vast array of material. He is especially interested in the evolution of consciousness, universal consciousness and 2012. His latest YouTube video lecture is a fascinating watch too, well worth tuning into - unless of course you missed &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D13zilh0OOA"&gt;last nights X Factor&lt;/a&gt; - then don't bother. If you have got the time, its called '2012 Event Horizon, Prophecies and Science of a Golden Age'. This lecture contains some fantastic points for continued research, definitely keep a pen and paper handy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;object width="640" height="385"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/cEyqT2_ricA?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/cEyqT2_ricA?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Following on in the same theme, I've also recently taken delivery of &lt;a href="http://www.pyramidcode.com/"&gt;The Pyramid Code&lt;/a&gt; DVD set and it is a nice production outlining some of the interesting alternative theories and the anomalies surrounding ancient Egypt and especially the Great Pyramid. I've moved James Dunn's &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Giza-Power-Plant-Technologies-Ancient/dp/1879181509"&gt;The Giza Power Plant&lt;/a&gt; to the top of my wishlist after watching.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Moving on, as mentioned before on Challenging You, (&lt;a href="http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2010/10/oopswe-lied.html"&gt;Oops...We lied&lt;/a&gt;) The Telegraph further confirms our fears of being completely lied to in a brazen fashion in an article called &lt;a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/law-and-order/8127156/Warning-of-new-era-of-surveillance-state.html"&gt;Warning of new era of surveillance state&lt;/a&gt;. God bless, well, us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Britons are already the most watched citizens in the democratic world because of an army of surveillance systems including CCTV, cameras that track vehicles, vast Government databases and the sharing of personal data such as air passenger details.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Regarding broken promises, &lt;a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/commentators/johann-hari/johann-hari-clegg-ndash-the-man-who-betrayed-us-all-2131652.html"&gt;Clegg, The Man Who Betrayed Us All&lt;/a&gt;. It would be funny if wasn't so breathtakingly embarrassing. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Vigilant Citizen pulls another great great article out of the bag - &lt;a href="http://vigilantcitizen.com/?p=2536"&gt;The Hidden Hand that Shaped History&lt;/a&gt;.

Icke's newest book also focuses on the moon as being a suspicious object that effects human life. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As clearly pointed out in '&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Who-Built-Moon-Christopher-Knight/dp/1842931636"&gt;Who built the moon&lt;/a&gt;' the fact that our satellite has a very real effect on our ability to exist on this tiny planet is not debatable. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The authors point out the many things that the moon contributes to life on earth, such as maintaining the tilt of the earth on its axis, which creates the seasons and allows life to flourish in a comfortable and minuscule temperature range. In the chapter 'The impossible message' the origins of DNA is discussed. The chances of DNA originating by itself by chance on Earth are mind bogglingly high, the probability being higher than the estimated number of particles in the universe, such is its complexity. The authors suggest how the moon played a role in the creation of DNA on earth. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The book summarizes the current scientific theory on how the moon was formed - and to the reader they point out that all such theories are just that, and that they all have massive holes in them. Interestingly, the moon's mass almost exactly that of the missing portion of earth's crust that today holds the oceans. Coincidence? Just one of many that are pointed out in the book - including the infamous megalithic yard - a measurement system that has some eerie coincidences of its own both in the ancient world and when compared to today's metric system. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Concluding the book the authors propose three theories of how the moon came to be in place. To be brief they are 1) Aliens 2) God and 3) Time traveling humans! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Personally, I'm in the number 1 camp!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6735383821693864337-5044861555436804937?l=challengingyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/feeds/5044861555436804937/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2010/10/recently-finished-book-who-built-moon.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/5044861555436804937'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/5044861555436804937'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2010/10/recently-finished-book-who-built-moon.html' title=''/><author><name>Jon Hoff</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15218703884601180050</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='14' src='http://ab.bebo.com/ab/large/2005030813/9831954a2664179b128288488l.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735383821693864337.post-1575708063367367526</id><published>2010-08-31T21:28:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-31T22:54:59.089-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mexico'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='nwo'/><title type='text'>Mexico</title><content type='html'>What the hell actually is going on in Mexico. I've no idea if the BBC or CNN are reporting from Mexico very often because I don't watch prefabricated corporate garbage. Even flicking over BBC World news on my cable channel and getting a brief flash of someone saying 'terrorism' is too much. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I know a little about Mexico in that it is basically a warzone where lawlessness rules and murder is commonplace in drug related gang violence. &lt;a href="http://www.mcclatchydc.com/2010/04/29/93136/as-drug-war-death-toll-rises-mexicans.html"&gt;Over 22,000 dead in 3 years&lt;/a&gt; apparently. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, we know that things are unstable and violence and intimidation are prevalent, I'm sure we can assume that corruption is rife amongst elected officials and supposed public servants. A perfect testing ground for social experiments. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few weeks ago one particular story shivered my spine more than most - &lt;a href="http://tommytoy.vox.com/library/post/big-brother-is-here-global-rainmaker-introduces-retinal-scanning-for-the-masses.html"&gt;this one&lt;/a&gt;. Retina scanning technology being trialled in a Mexican city of 1 million people. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"In the future, whether it's entering your home, opening your car, entering your workspace, getting a pharmacy prescription refilled, or having your medical records pulled up, everything will come off that unique key that is your iris," says Jeff Carter, CDO of Global Rainmakers, who, before coming to GRI, headed a think tank partnership between Bank of America, Harvard, and MIT.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hmm. Bank of American, Harvard and MIT. Haven't we seen those names somewhere before! Well yes, we know they are slimy little suckers on one of the tentacles of the New World Order. What's contained in this report is nothing less than petrifying, and Mr Cater's response to people having choice about being in this scheme was scripted by Orwell himself...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"And it's interesting: When you get masses of people opting-in, opting out does not help. Opting out actually puts more of a flag on you than just being part of the system. We believe everyone will opt-in."&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You're are not helping the cause if you opt out! We all know that any scheme that is 'voluntary' to begin with becomes 'required' and then 'law'. It's a means of introducing the idea into public consciousness (Hollywood having laid the foundations). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Following on from this I saw a report posted on Prison Planet via 'The Economic Collapse Blog' called '&lt;a href="http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/the-death-of-cash-all-over-the-world-governments-are-banning-large-cash-transactions"&gt;The Death of All Cash&lt;/a&gt;'. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;In Mexico, a bill before the legislature would completely ban the purchase of real estate in cash.  In addition, the new law would ban anyone from spending more than MXN 100,000 (about $7,700) in cash on vehicles, boats, airplanes and luxury goods.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;$7,700 is not a very high limit, and this legislation has some real teeth to it.  Anyone violating this law would face up to 15 years in prison.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We all know the ultimate goals of our new world - that is a micro-chipped prison planet where we can all truly be free in utopia...nowhere does it seem to be more scarily real at the moment than Mexico. Societal breakdown, minority report style technology being used and cash seemingly being phased out.

Starting with &lt;b&gt;national security&lt;/b&gt;, they have suddenly started sounding American - they will start a 'National Security Council' and a 'National Resilience Team for Homeland Security' - HOMELAND SECURITY! This is of course to protect us from all the nasty people who want to blow us up (like MI5).

Heavily heavily documented on this blog and thousands of others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Second problem...do you have any idea what reducing our 'carbon emissions' by 80% actually entails! Well, I'd stock up on paraffin lamps if I were you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;The EU&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The media has slyly turned the debate away from the European issue and Cameron has escaped on the 'referendum question'. With Liblabcon there is no way out of the EUSSR and what it has in store for us in the next couple of decades.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Liberal Democrats are heavily pro-EU and also have gone 'green' mad - from their&lt;a href="http://www.libdems.org.uk/our_manifesto.aspx"&gt; manifesto&lt;/a&gt; - '&lt;i&gt;there are only a few years to stop runaway climate change&lt;/i&gt;'. Large portions of their policies consist of environmental fascism in the name of the carbon religion. Utter Al Gorian nonsense. They also support the war in Afghanistan. That's poor form. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And do we really need to comment on the Labour party? They've shown us their policies quite clearly in the last 13 years. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The other major area of concern is of course the economy. Hahahahaha. Read this: &lt;a href="http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&amp;amp;aid=18948"&gt;Britain's Election: Welcome to No Choice Democracy &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Your next leader is already ordained anyway.

Forget the Apollo moon hoax, that's dismissed in the first chapter as a NASA disinformation campaign to deflect attention from the undeniable evidence of the ruins of an ancient alien civilization on both Mars and our own Moon. A little background knowledge of the theory of Earth's hidden history is helpful before reading this book. If Dark Mission is truly the first introduction to all material contained within it, then it will be even more astonishing for you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://comicsnbeer.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/marsfacebw.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 360px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 360px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://comicsnbeer.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/marsfacebw.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cydonia_(region_of_Mars)"&gt;Face on Mars &lt;/a&gt;takes up a lot of the discussion in the book, and the first chapter discusses this and other anomalies in the Cydonia region such as 'The City' and the 'D &amp;amp; M' pyramid. The mathematics of the region are also looked at, a model constructed by one of the authors, Richard C Hoagalnd (see his website, &lt;a href="http://www.enterprisemission.com/"&gt;enterprise mission&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.robertreckmeyer.com/image-files/phy_hyper.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 350px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 304px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.robertreckmeyer.com/image-files/phy_hyper.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hoagland continues in chapter two (the book is written entirely in the third person) with an explanation of his hyperdimensional physics model, the foundation of which (as is my limited understanding of blowing-Einstien-and-Newton-out-of-the-water-physics) is that 3-D tetrahedrons within the interior of galactic bodies play a part in drawing in energy from other planes of existence (4th dimension and above). At 19.5 degrees the geometric shape inside a sphere would reach the planets surface, and this number is incredibly significant, as the book shows throughout.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Taking an abrupt turn the 3rd chapter is dedicated to political maneuverings and postulates that JFK was assassinated because of his wish to unite with the Soviets in a joint mission to the moon. Chapter 4, 'The Crystal Towers of the Moon', shows the evidence of incredible glass ruins on the moon through photographs taken over various Apollo missions. By careful analysis of images the authors show some of the unusual features that have been spotted in various frames. Chapter 5 is entitled 'A Conspiracy Unfolds' and is an investigation into the history of NASA, its occult ties, and the bizarre ritualistic system of numerology and star-alignments it follows. The authors submit this is based on the Egyptian Pantheon of Osiris, Isis and Horus (represented by Orion, Sirius and Leo), the pagan worship of these gods having been continued through the ages by 'initiates' - starting with the Egyptian priests, through to the Knights Templar and other secret societies and into world freemasonary at its higher orders. The story includes Alan Parsons, L Ron Hubbard and Werner Von Braum (a Nazi rocket scientist bought over in breech of Operation Paperclip) amongst others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To be extremely brief, the remainder of the book focuses on more anomalies on Mars, and the long battle with NASA over the images and intereptation of these images released from the various Mars missions since Viking 1 in 1976. Deep analysis of the images released from NASA often showed strong implications of being tampered with in order to hide the real information in the frame. The book covers the political issues within NASA and government and the effects they had on their relationship with the alternative research community, as well as the authors sometimes troubled relationship with the aforementioned independent researchers. At times it reads like a crime novel, with inside leaks, mysterious clues and half-truths - at other times it gets very personal and you feel like a fly on the wall during heated email exchanges and scientific arguments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is an absolutely fantastic book, with the range of subject material covered, its hard to not be absorbed. Alien civilizations, assassination, political and professional deceptions and cover-ups, a new model of physics for our understanding of the physical universe...and lots of pictures to boot. Highly recommended for any alternative book shelf!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://imzadiradenoy.tripod.com/DatasHead.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 478px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 503px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://imzadiradenoy.tripod.com/DatasHead.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6735383821693864337-1451583374000105529?l=challengingyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/feeds/1451583374000105529/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2010/04/book-review-dark-misson-secret-history.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/1451583374000105529'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/1451583374000105529'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2010/04/book-review-dark-misson-secret-history.html' title='Book Review: Dark Misson, A Secret History of NASA'/><author><name>Jon Hoff</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15218703884601180050</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='14' src='http://ab.bebo.com/ab/large/2005030813/9831954a2664179b128288488l.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735383821693864337.post-3344391143312360422</id><published>2010-04-19T06:45:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-04-19T07:11:22.204-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Book Review'/><title type='text'>Book Review: HeartMath</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51329BHAfbL._BO2,204,203,200_PIsitb-sticker-arrow-click,TopRight,35,-76_AA300_SH20_OU01_.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51329BHAfbL._BO2,204,203,200_PIsitb-sticker-arrow-click,TopRight,35,-76_AA300_SH20_OU01_.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The HearthMath Solution looks and for all intent and purposes is a self help book, however I wish the cover designers and authors had made the front cover look a little more scientific rather than so self-helpy - I fear many would be put off by the claims of how you can instantly improve your life with the methods included within. It looks like just another fad, another scheme which may work for some people and not others and involves stack loads of money. It isn't. It deserves a more scientific outlook because the book starts with just that, the foundation of the techniques discussed later. Experiments reveal a field of energy that is emitted from the heart of every person and extends around 8 feet from the body. You know how someone's bad mood can affect you, and how the atmosphere of 70,000 people in a sports stadium feels...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.lawyertopeacemaker.com/images/heartfield.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 275px; height: 230px;" src="http://www.lawyertopeacemaker.com/images/heartfield.gif" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The authors show how the heart has its own measurable intelligence due to a small nervous system that is connected to the brain, therefore able to communicate emotion and 'thoughts' to our control center. This is first science that I have come across that explains intuition in a clearly defined way. There is note made of the number of metaphors and idioms we use to describe our heart intelligence through language - following our heart, my heart wasn't in it, and so on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The various techniques come later in the book and teach you how to center in on your heart, listen to what it is saying whilst trying to blank out that untrained monkey that is our 'head' intelligence, the mind. The authors argue that much of our (undue) daily stress that effects physical well being comes from our habit of listening to the head first and reacting in a very primitive way to our environment. If we learn how to step back, breath, and focus, we give the heart a chance to speak and then with all the best intention, wisdom and integrity backing us up, we can make the right decision - that being whatever means our mental balance is unaffected. This is eastern philosophy for on-the-go yuppies, meditation for those who prefer it packaged in a western container - either way, I am a fan. The same as any meditative practice in our modern lives - the hardest thing is finding the time and discipline to follow through these techniques. I am sure however that those who do tune into their heart will be rewarded.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6735383821693864337-3344391143312360422?l=challengingyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/feeds/3344391143312360422/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2010/04/book-review-heartmath.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/3344391143312360422'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/3344391143312360422'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2010/04/book-review-heartmath.html' title='Book Review: HeartMath'/><author><name>Jon Hoff</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15218703884601180050</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='14' src='http://ab.bebo.com/ab/large/2005030813/9831954a2664179b128288488l.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735383821693864337.post-2529399468017762643</id><published>2010-03-21T00:39:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-03-21T06:33:37.636-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ancient mysteries'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hidden Knowledge'/><title type='text'>Sacsayhuamán</title><content type='html'>Mentioned in Sitchin's fourth book of the Earth Chronicles, &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Lost-Realms-Book-Earth-Chronicles/dp/0380758903"&gt;The Lost Realms&lt;/a&gt;, Sacsayhuaman is a walled complex predating the Incas in Peru.

He theorized that the blocks at Sacsayhuaman were put into place by carving them and then lowering them into place. The stones would have been precisely carved in advance to create the tight joints made to fit into prepared pockets in the wall. Then the stones would be towed up a ramp and above the wall, where they would be placed on top of a stack of logs. The logs would be removed one at a time to lower the stones into place.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;There is much unknown about how the walls were constructed. The stones are so closely spaced that a single piece of paper will not fit between many of the stones. This precision, combined with the rounded corners of the limestone blocks, the variety of their interlocking shapes, and the way the walls lean inward, is thought to have helped the ruins survive devastating earthquakes in Cuzco. The longest of three walls is about 400 meters. They are about 6 meters tall. The estimated volume of stone is over 6,000 cubic meters. Estimates for the weight of the largest &lt;/i&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limestone" title="Limestone" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; "&gt;&lt;i&gt;limestone&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;i&gt; block vary from 128 tonnes to almost 200 tonnes&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;It goes on to give some rather pathetic attempts at explaining how these walls were constructed. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Lee supervised an experiment to see if his proposed theory could work on a small scale; this accomplished limited success. If the Killke were unable to obtain the tight joints the first time, they would have had to be able to lift the stones up to correct their mistakes. The modern workers were not able to obtain as much precision as the Killke, but they thought with more practice, they could have achieved more precise joints and done it with larger stones.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div&gt; 'We could have done it with more practice' seems to be the excuse after failure of trying to replicate these walls. We are fed the same cock &amp;amp; bull stories with the Great Pyramid and &lt;a href="http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/03/book-review-stairway-to-heaven.html"&gt;Baalbek in Lebanon&lt;/a&gt;, just as equally unexplainable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.mysticland.cz/wp-content/uploads/sacsayhuaman_zed.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 597px; height: 397px;" src="http://www.mysticland.cz/wp-content/uploads/sacsayhuaman_zed.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;Yeah, they did that with logs.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;From '&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Lost-Realms-Book-Earth-Chronicles/dp/0380758903"&gt;The Lost Realms&lt;/a&gt;':&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;The three lines of zigzagging walls are constructed of massive stones and rise one behind the other, each one somewhat higher than the one in front of it, to a combined height of about sixty feet. Earth-fills behind eachwall have created terraces that, it is presumed, were meant to serve the promontory's defenders as parapets. Of the three, especially the lowest (first) wall is built of colossal boulders, weighing between ten to twenty tons. In one instance a boulder twenty-seven feet high weights over 300 tons. Many stones are fifteen feet high and are ten to fourteen feet in width and thickness. As in the city below, the faces of these boulders have been artifically dressed to perfect smoothness and are beveled at the edges, which means that they are not fieldstones foudn lying around and used as nature had shaped them, but rather the work of master masons......&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;.....as all studies have shown, the gigantic stone blocks were quarried miles away and had to be transported to the site over mountains, valleys, gorges, and gushing streams...&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;The rock was quarried, but they had no iron or steel with which to do it.

I don't think so. Human behaviour does however mean that we like to belong, we feel comfortable in the security of thinking what others think. If you stopped the average man on the street and asked him 'I've heard there is a secret human colony on Mars that people have been teleporting to' - he'd &lt;i&gt;probably&lt;/i&gt; think you were crazy. And if you did stop a man on the street to say that, perhaps you are crazy - I'm not here to say it's crazy or not, it is what it is. Neither can I say I believe it or not - but it's certainly interesting, that's for sure. If you are the kind of person who struggles to believe that a small group of bankers could possibly have gotten together a long time ago to forge a (whisper it) conspiracy (gasp!) to control and manipulate people for their own personal gain, then this kind of stuff will well and truly be beyond your disbelief. Suspension of disbelief is essential - either that, or knowing  'the only true wisdom is knowing you know nothing'. By the way - the situation I presented isn't a joke, there &lt;i&gt;are&lt;/i&gt; 'whistleblowers' who say they have teleported to Mars.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://democrashield.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/tardis.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 298px; height: 298px;" src="http://democrashield.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/tardis.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;Andrew D Basiago is a name you may want to look up.

Some people witnessed the crucifixion of Jesus Christ using this machine. Andrew claims he met Barak Obama when he was a college student and he already knew he would be president one day, as did Clinton and Bush.

Well, NASA was basically set up by the Nazis who were bought over (to the USA) with project Paperclip after WW2. The Nazis are well known for their UFO building and their obsession with the occult. They are heavily linked with the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thule_Society"&gt;Thule society&lt;/a&gt;, which in turn links up with what all secret societies and freemasonry pertain to: hidden knowledge. Knowledge widely believed to have been passed down from &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Underworld-Mysterious-Civilization-Graham-Hancock/dp/1400049512/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=books&amp;amp;qid=1266423775&amp;amp;sr=8-4"&gt;pre-diluvian civilisation&lt;/a&gt;(s) to initiates in Sumeria/Egypt who have forever kept this metaphysical/astophysical information about the true nature of physics, our universe and the origins of humanity secret. These initiates eventually turned into the secret societies we know today (Skull and Bones, Illuminati, Freemasonry at its highest levels)   The fact that our world leaders still worship Egyptian gods and symbols of various star systems and all their incarnations in the various civilizations since then through ritual and ceremony is well known in some quarters - worse still, they do it in front of us. Symbology is not just a fictional area of study made up by Dan Brown. Read the &lt;a href="http://secretsun.blogspot.com/"&gt;Secret Sun&lt;/a&gt; before doubting this fact. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Jordon Maxwell's '&lt;a href="http://www.jordanmaxwell.com/articles/questions/index.html"&gt;Have you ever wondered&lt;/a&gt;' pages will keep your mind busy as well...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;To say there's more going on in the world than we could ever possibly understand is an understatement. To say that our inability to see these things as they are hidden in plain sight is due to our suffering indoctrination from an educational system that never teaches us to see beyond what is presented to us is not an understatement - it's just a tragic fact. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And I haven't even mentioned underground bases, Alien species, Draco, Pleidies, reptiles, hollow earth theory, pole shifts, comets, solar pulses, galatic center, missing planets in our solar system, Niburu and the Annunaki, other theories of Planet X, fake alien invasions, project Blue Beam, CERN allegedly trying to create a stargate, the 'Yemen stargate', or crop circles...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

last chapter of his book '&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Weapons-Mass-Instruction-Schoolteachers-Compulsory/dp/0865716315"&gt;Weapons of Mass Instruction&lt;/a&gt;' he slips in the phrase 'new world order', something he alludes to throughout the book without ever quite getting there. But you know he knows. He even mentions Carol Quigley's Tragedy and Hope a couple of times. He knows. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gatto is an ardent advocate of school reform, and this book is a collection of musings, anecdotes and an open plea to common sense. This book was confirmation of what I have always suspected was true but was never quite sure how to articulate it to others - institutionalized schooling was introduced across the world as a means to create a servile, dumbed down mass of consuming zombies. And my, how successful they have been. Gatto is no intellectual slouch, consistently refering to the philosophical history of education (vs schooling) and also the sociological factors which influenced the appearance of the modern school system. Incredibly, the name 'Rockefeller' appears in the book fairly often. Is there anything this lot don't have their slimy beaks involved in? So yes, the eugenicists who obviously favored the appearance of behaviorism as a model for schooling are also mentioned. Gatto abhors standardized testing and argues against some of the common criticsims leveled at home schoolers such as socialization being a problem. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once the truth is pointed out in such concise terms and your own journey to that truth is fast-forwarded (in other words, realisation is forthcoming) then it is hard to imagine how you once put &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;any&lt;/span&gt; faith in the bizarre ritual of sending your precious cargo to one of these prisons (I mean schools). I always knew it was like this as my intuition told me so, a nagging doubt. I thank Gatto for having done the hard time and the research and not least for his fantastic list of what a real education consists. One that I will no doubt adapt and use in the planning for my daughters freedom from the box mind that is the school.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Given a Nobel Prize and slated as 'the best non-fiction book of the Twentieth Century' by Time Magazine, '&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Gulag-Archipelago-1918-1956-Abridged-Investigation/dp/0061253804/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=books&amp;amp;qid=1260193884&amp;amp;sr=1-4"&gt;The Gulag Archipelago&lt;/a&gt;' by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn has a lot to live up to. I only purchased the abridged volume, which crammed the three original volumes into one book, 470 pages long. For whatever reasons you decide to read this book, it is one you will not forget. My reasons are summed up by another of Solzhenitsyn's works, '&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Warning-West-Aleksandr-Solzhenitsyn/dp/0374513341/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=books&amp;amp;qid=1260194778&amp;amp;sr=1-1"&gt;A Warning to the West&lt;/a&gt;'. As someone who detects similar patterns of tyranny occurring in the western world right now, it is a timely place to read the account of how the Bolsheviks set up and operated their communist police state.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Haunting in its harrowing account of the prison and labour camp networks of the Soviet Union under Lenin and then Stalin, even more chilling is the way Solzhenitsyn maintains a sense of humour about the whole thing, albeit a bitter, twisted and often scornful reproach to his fellow countrymen, repeatedly asking how this could have happened. The humour is an incredulous appeal to reason and common sense, a vivid disbelief of how this insanity was applied to an entire society. These are the lessons I was looking for from reading this epic. How were the German's brainwashed by national socialism, how did the 'party' establish such power in the Soviet Union, and how we in the western world are being driven down a similar path through the fake war on terror and the fake global warming problem. Indeed, the &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Street-Bolshevik-Revolution-Antony-Sutton/dp/089968324X"&gt;Russian social experiment&lt;/a&gt; provided many of today's techniques. &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We are taken through, chapter by chapter, gory detail after gory detail; the  ink on these pages will often make you shudder, other times have you pausing for thought - but mostly devouring pages of this human suffering, this alternate version of what we consider life.  These millions and millions of people have a different version of it for you. Not least the (estimated) 60 million who perished. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The chapters form a procession through the inner workings of the Soviet state, from arrest, prison, interrogation,torture, transport, forced labour camps, exile, escape, prisoner and guard psychology, camp revolution and camp recapture. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Several passages  particularly stuck in my mind from reading this epic book of human suffering and ultimately, spirit. One particular anecdote reflects a common theme in the book - a ridicule of the insanity of the entire system;  at a party function  a round of applause was started in honour of Stalin and all attending were too scared to stop! Glancing uneasily round the room, the applause went on and went on and got more and more raucous! Finally one guy was brave enough to stop, meaning everyone else could stop. He was arrested a few days later and sent to a prison camp. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This passage describes the author signing the contract of his own imprisonment: &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;Was I really just supposed to sign and leave in silence? I looked at the major - to see whether he intended to say something to me, whether he might not provide some clarification. No, he had no such intention. He had already nodded to the jailer at the door to get the next prisoner ready.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;To give the moment at least a little importance, I asked him, with a tragic expression: "But, really, this is terrible! Eight years! What for?" And I could hear how false my own words sounded. Neither he nor I detected anything terrible. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;"right there." The major showed me once again where to sign. I signed. I could simply not think of anything else to do. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;"In that case, allow me to write an appeal right here. After all, the sentence is unjust."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;"As provided by regulations," the major assented with a nod, placing my sheet of paper on the left-hand pile.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;"Let's move along," commanded the jailer.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;And I &lt;/i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;moved along&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Scary. Most moving of all however are the lucid descriptions of the prison conditions, the interrogations, the torture and the cruelty, and the unbelievable labour camps. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;What is most relevant however is how a pathological kind of political tyranny can take hold of an entire nation and destroy any semblance of freedom or sanity that ever was - something I believe is also happening across the western world today. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

He was totally paralysed. After 23 years however a neurologist called Steven Laureys discovered that his brain was functioning normally. It turns out this man was totally conscious throughout the entire 23 years. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Can you imagine, alone with your mind, how you could come to terms with such an event. The shock, the fear, the horror...and then...acceptance? It seems like this would be the only way to survive...accept, or face insanity - making a conscious decision to physically die is surely impossible. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;He told doctors he had "travelled with my thoughts into the past, or into another existence altogether". Sometimes, he said, "I was only my consciousness and nothing else". &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;What an incredible story this man must have to tell - and he says he'll write a book too! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6735383821693864337-5133181465555307754?l=challengingyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/feeds/5133181465555307754/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/11/23-years-of-meditation.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/5133181465555307754'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/5133181465555307754'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/11/23-years-of-meditation.html' title='23 years of meditation'/><author><name>Jon Hoff</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15218703884601180050</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='14' src='http://ab.bebo.com/ab/large/2005030813/9831954a2664179b128288488l.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735383821693864337.post-926762038617264168</id><published>2009-11-24T23:59:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-25T00:39:51.143-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='globalwarming'/><title type='text'>Climategate</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6p5qxFdx9Ko/SwzntFpvsvI/AAAAAAAAAU0/Ye0-CKaEO_w/s1600/Al_Gore_CreditCard.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6p5qxFdx9Ko/SwzntFpvsvI/AAAAAAAAAU0/Ye0-CKaEO_w/s320/Al_Gore_CreditCard.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407952014362522354" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Climate-gate' has rocked the alternative blogosphere in the last week or so. It hasn't really rocked mainstream as much as it should have. But it has made some headlines, and the ramifications are enourmous. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Basically, if you are not aware,1079 emails and 72 documents were hacked from the Climate Research Unit (CRU) at East Anglia University. This is one of, if not the premier center of 'global warming' research and these guys supply the science to the UN's IPCC. In the hacked documents leading scientists such as Phil Jones and Michael Mann (hockey stick) are found colluding and consipring on how to manipulate data, how to silence global warming skeptics and how to keep them out of peer reviewed journals. Mainstream is employing many tactics to whitewash this huge scanadal, not least the main one of ignoring it. However, the issue has been reported and is continuing to pick up coverage which is a good sign. The Telegraph have a couple of excellent blog posts by James Delingpole (&lt;a href="http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/jamesdelingpole/100017393/climategate-the-final-nail-in-the-coffin-of-anthropogenic-global-warming/"&gt;Climategate: the final nail in the coffin of 'Anthropogenic Global Warming'?&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/jamesdelingpole/100017546/climategate-why-it-matters/"&gt;ClimateGate - Why It Matters&lt;/a&gt;) and then the Daily Mail has a &lt;a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-1230113/The-devastating-book-debunks-climate-change.html"&gt;good piece from Charlie Brooker&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;In other words, as a growing army of genuine experts across the world has been trying to tell us, there is not a single item on the list of apocalyptic predictions we have been fed for so long by the IPCC and the likes of Al Gore which is not being called into question by what is actually happening to the world's climate. &lt;br /&gt;The scientists who have been challenging almost every aspect of the official theory on global warming have ranged from world-ranking physicists such as Professor Richard Lindzen, of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Professors Will Happer and Freeman Dyson of Princeton University, to 700 scientists of many disciplines. &lt;br /&gt;These include Nobel Prize-winners and former contributors to the IPCC, who signed a 'minority report' of the U.S. Senate's environment committee. &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's still a little tentative for my liking, and still has no semblence of real investigative journalism, but at least these guys are publishing something closer to truth. Other UK papers picked up the story originally reported on the wire by AP along with the &lt;a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704888404574547730924988354.html"&gt;Wall Street Journal&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/21/science/earth/21climate.html?_r=1"&gt;The New York Times&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.examiner.com/x-17018-Environmental-Headlines-Examiner~y2009m11d24-CRU-hacked-emails-taint-global-warming-researchers"&gt;The Examiner&lt;/a&gt; and of course a bevy of articles and updates on Infowars, some examples &lt;a href="http://www.infowars.com/climate-alarmists-finally-admit-the-debate-is-not-over/"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.infowars.com/lord-monckton-prosecute-the-climate-change-criminals/"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.infowars.com/hacked-climate-emails-include-calls-for-earth-government-as-foundation-of-new-world-order-splitting-of-america/"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.jonesreport.com/article/11_09/20climate_bombshell.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; - all with great analysis and links - use these as a starting point for further research. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Experts have also been speaking out on radio, check out Dr Tim Ball on the Alex Jones Show: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;object width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/dY3eaymWSQg&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/dY3eaymWSQg&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mark Morano also on the Alex Jones Show, who also runs &lt;a href="http://www.climatedepot.com/"&gt;Climate Depot&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;object width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/vtVsXJXyIw8&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/vtVsXJXyIw8&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just going off topic for a minute - Al Gore's latest book also came in for a ridicule recently, and not even the contents...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/DZxCijDxH9g&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/DZxCijDxH9g&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, what does all this mean? Well, we hope, no agreement will be reached at Copenhagen. The noise generated from this shocking exposure of the fraud going on at the highest levels of climate science will surely be heard by the Copenhagen crowd - they will know that now is not a good time to push their de-industrialisation carbon-taxation agenda. This means at the very least a delay whilst they try to rebuild the public's confidence in the global warming story...but have we reached the tipping point? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People of the world, the information war continues!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6735383821693864337-926762038617264168?l=challengingyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/feeds/926762038617264168/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/11/climategate.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/926762038617264168'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/926762038617264168'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/11/climategate.html' title='Climategate'/><author><name>Jon Hoff</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15218703884601180050</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='14' src='http://ab.bebo.com/ab/large/2005030813/9831954a2664179b128288488l.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6p5qxFdx9Ko/SwzntFpvsvI/AAAAAAAAAU0/Ye0-CKaEO_w/s72-c/Al_Gore_CreditCard.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735383821693864337.post-1782473844776852091</id><published>2009-11-10T04:45:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-20T05:23:44.432-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mind Control'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Book Review'/><title type='text'>Mind Control - Part One</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.skybooksusa.com/images/books/masscontrol.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 472px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.skybooksusa.com/images/books/masscontrol.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Jim Keith, author of this book and others, was a renowned conspiracy researcher, and perhaps he paid the ultimate price for exposing some of the most secretive and 'deniable' operations ever undertaken by shadowy agencies and peoples. I picked up this book because Michael Tsarian mentions it in the fantastic documentary &lt;a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3818584392743397407#docid=-578967458658767522"&gt;Architects of Control&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;When we come to understand the power of social engineering on a nation-wide scale, we also begin to understand how much the elite covet knowledge of human behaviour, the sub-conscious, and also how far the human mind can be trained and controlled to be at the will of another. Whilst you and me spend our evenings hypnotized in front of a flickering blue and white light, and our days at the mill, those running the show are making damn sure it stays that way - pouring their money into reseaching all the above fields and making sure they have all the facilities available to them to implement the findings. Our consumer culture is one very, very good example of this - it is simply the devious exploitation of our subconscious urges and human instinct, and it has subverted humanity in the last century in the name of profit and greed. All that is good, such as knowledge, wisdom, decency and compassion has been (or in many cases in the developing world, is being) replaced with corruption, greed, self-obsession and egotism, and all because s&lt;a href="http://video.google.com.vn/videoplay?docid=8953172273825999151&amp;amp;ei=l2P5SoG5I4q8wgPi2tz4CQ&amp;amp;q=deward+bernays&amp;amp;hl=vi#"&gt;ome wealthy fat cats had followed the developments of the study of the human mind in the early 20th century&lt;/a&gt;, and then applied them. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In Mass Control however, Jim Keith goes beyond the social engineers into the secretive world of 'black op' sponsored research into the human mind and how to control it. We learn of electronic brain implants and brain experimentations on animals and humans. We look at the people, both docters and 'subjects' involved, and all the evidence and testimony surrounding it. We uncover the history of the mapping of the advances in such technology and their current applications by the US military. The book also explores the link between various patsies that have been suspected mind-control victims, possibly the most famous being Jim Jones. The use of mind control is often considered in so-called conspiracy literature to be behind similar incidents in history, especially those involving religious cults and assassinations. For a more detailed look at this history read the book, or watch the documentary below, The New Pheonix Project - which is a look at the history of mind control.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;embed id="VideoPlayback" style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 326px" src="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docid=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" hl="en&amp;amp;fs=" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt; &lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;None of this is in the realm of consipracy, projects like MK-Ultra are well documented now. There is no reason to consider that this kind of research has ceased today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/IStoyUb697c&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/IStoyUb697c&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also have no doubt that many stories, books, movies and TV programs subtly include mind-control themes and symbolism in them. An oft quoted example is Alice in Wonderland. It may sound ridiculous, but &lt;a href="http://www.apfn.org/apfn/oz.htm"&gt;some serious analysis of this has been done&lt;/a&gt;. Disney is another often cited as having sexual and occult symbolism involved in their movies, as a few famous examples demonstrate. I really suggest reading the &lt;a href="http://pseudoccultmedia.blogspot.com/2009/03/disney-twenty-three-part-1-alice-oswald.html"&gt;PseudOccult Media blog&lt;/a&gt;, which has fascinating and in-depth research into MK-themes that run through modern pop-culture., especially on the after-mentioned Alice and Disney.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/22281ozthe-wizard-of-oz-posters2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 283px;" src="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/22281ozthe-wizard-of-oz-posters2.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;All this spills over into our modern pop stars, who some say are mind-controlled slaves with multiple personalities. Sound ridiculous? Are you telling me that the &lt;a href="http://vigilantcitizen.com/?p=2191"&gt;MTV music video awards wasn't an occult celebration&lt;/a&gt;? One of the fundamentals of mind control and especially the creation of a 'Manchurian Candidate' is the split personality, which is the only way the human mind can deal with horrific trauma at an early age (which is allegedly what some of these secret projects did). &lt;a href="http://vigilantcitizen.com/"&gt;Vigilant Citizen&lt;/a&gt; also details other pop stars and the symbolism in their videos such as &lt;a href="http://vigilantcitizen.com/?p=2153"&gt;Beyonce&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://vigilantcitizen.com/?p=1948"&gt;Jay-Z&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://vigilantcitizen.com/?p=2737"&gt;Lady Gaga&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://vigilantcitizen.com/?p=551"&gt;Rhianna&lt;/a&gt;. All very compelling evidence that something is not quite what it seems here, you really have to be a coincidence theorist of mind boggling proportions to deny that. However, my mind continues to be boggled by the cognitive dissonance of some, so I don't blame you if all this is just too much to take on board...others of you may be starting to feel uncomfortable in the realisation that  millions of young people around the world (and adults, bless em)  literally worship these idols - who may be implanting a slightly more complex message into impressionable minds. Disturbing, isn't it? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img.vctv.vn/Images/Uploaded/Share/2009/10/20/beyonce2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 350px; height: 417px;" src="http://img.vctv.vn/Images/Uploaded/Share/2009/10/20/beyonce2.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;So, if we are to understand all this, a number of dots need to be connected. Basically, the entire entertainment industry, especially Hollywood and the music industry, are controlled by the masons, who see the whole thing as a method of keeping the sheep dumbed down and busy, whilst they run the world. Masonry at its highest levels interconnects with secret societies and occultism - or one could say that masonry at it's highest level was taken over at some stage by that most famous of all secret societies.  Secret societies are closely linked with the highest levels of government and government agencies. The CIA for example. And so it goes on. If the agenda is control, then it makes sense that all means and methods of disposal are used...and it seems like they are doing just that...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6735383821693864337-1782473844776852091?l=challengingyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/feeds/1782473844776852091/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/11/mind-control-part-one.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/1782473844776852091'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/1782473844776852091'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/11/mind-control-part-one.html' title='Mind Control - Part One'/><author><name>Jon Hoff</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15218703884601180050</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='14' src='http://ab.bebo.com/ab/large/2005030813/9831954a2664179b128288488l.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735383821693864337.post-4911832914853904952</id><published>2009-11-09T16:45:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-09T16:46:11.680-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='videos'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='money'/><title type='text'>Can't even give away gold...</title><content type='html'>So much for the mass awakening...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Gk5aRIz17fk&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Gk5aRIz17fk&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6735383821693864337-4911832914853904952?l=challengingyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/feeds/4911832914853904952/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/11/cant-even-give-away-gold.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/4911832914853904952'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/4911832914853904952'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/11/cant-even-give-away-gold.html' title='Can&apos;t even give away gold...'/><author><name>Jon Hoff</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15218703884601180050</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='14' src='http://ab.bebo.com/ab/large/2005030813/9831954a2664179b128288488l.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735383821693864337.post-8049101156190673510</id><published>2009-10-25T03:01:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-25T04:04:52.951-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='globalwarming'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='nwo'/><title type='text'>Climate Change and Copenhagen</title><content type='html'>For a background to my opinions and research into 'Climate Change', please read my previous post &lt;a href="http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/02/convenient-and-scary-lie.html"&gt;A Convenient and Scary Lie&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://z.about.com/d/space/1/5/Y/Q/sun_tour.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 387px;" src="http://z.about.com/d/space/1/5/Y/Q/sun_tour.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I must make my opinion very clear. I believe that man-made global warming is a giant fraud, and that the sun is the main driver of earth's climate. Claiming that CO2, one of life's building blocks, is a poison and should be regulated is audacious at best. At the very least, the citizens of the world (as this is a global issue) should be presented with the clear, compelling evidence of our role in heating the earth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Upon requesting this evidence, rather large problems begin to emerge. We find that the 'international consensus' doesn't exist, except within the IPCC, a politicised body which pushes an agenda and &lt;a href="http://www.junkscience.com/Greenhouse/"&gt;junk science&lt;/a&gt;. We find that the majority of the world's climatologists are not at all impressed with Al Gore and his theories. Even Paul Hudson, mainstream BBC climate correspondent, is having a hard time understanding what is going on, as explained in his article '&lt;a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8299079.stm"&gt;What happened to global warming&lt;/a&gt;'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;For the last 11 years we have not observed any increase in global temperatures.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even so, his article gives short shrift to the likelihood that climate change is a political fraud, instead the article focuses on some research by the Royal Society which apparently disproves the suns role in warming, and the article finishes up the opinion of one IPCC scientist and the MET office, both of whom assure us that warming will resume. Yawn. If you read the article and are interested in learning more about the Ocean Theory, &lt;a href="http://www.infowars.com/global-warming-or-global-cooling-a-new-trend-in-climate-alarmism/"&gt;read this&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This article was followed by an excitable response from the sheeple getting on their high-horses as they like to when given such an opportunity, spouting off gleefully about a 'change of tune' from the Beeb. So much was the reaction that Richard Black, another BBC climate correspondent, &lt;a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/thereporters/richardblack/2009/10/climate_issue.html"&gt;replied on the Earth Watch blog&lt;/a&gt;. Unfortunately he has entirely missed the point , the problem is that any real attempt to investigate the truth and report would never be allowed on the BBC - 'balanced reporting' is all done within a fuzzy little comfort zone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_tb0lU7SbvKE/Sa5tIovB-II/AAAAAAAAAbc/m5mNAEW0kIo/s400/AlGore.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 260px; height: 284px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_tb0lU7SbvKE/Sa5tIovB-II/AAAAAAAAAbc/m5mNAEW0kIo/s400/AlGore.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;a href="http://en.cop15.dk/"&gt;Copenhagen Summit&lt;/a&gt; is coming up in December, and here's another chance for the global elite to push their control grid agenda through with the fictional CO2 scare story. Copenhagen will be the successor to Kyoto. &lt;a href="http://worldviewtimes.com/article.php/articleid-5507/Brannon-Howse/Henry-Lamb"&gt;Henry Lamb points out a few things&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Climate change has nothing to do with the negotiations or the meetings, or the treaties. It never has. Climate change is simply an excuse to construct a monstrous international bureaucracy that meets many times each year in exotic venues around the world. Billions of dollars flow into and out of the climate change industry. No one involved in the climate change business wants to hear anything other than a new horror story to put the fear of catastrophe into appropriators.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, it gets far worse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/PMe5dOgbu40&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/PMe5dOgbu40&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Monckton,_3rd_Viscount_Monckton_of_Brenchley"&gt;Lord Christopher Mockington&lt;/a&gt;, an interesting chap, delivered the speech above, a warning of what the Copenhagen Treaty promises to do. That is, establish global governance, a world government. After all, this is where all this is heading, right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then on the other hand, &lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2009/oct/19/gordon-brown-copenhagen-climate-talks"&gt;Gordon Brown can't wait to deliver us from a watery death once sea levels rise. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/y-jZlB-ta_o&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/y-jZlB-ta_o&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, if you go with your gut instinct, who do you trust?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.giacngo.vn/UserImages/5/2009/05/02/gordon-brown_1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 431px; height: 500px;" src="http://www.giacngo.vn/UserImages/5/2009/05/02/gordon-brown_1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again, in my opinion, formed not by emotional responses to leaders pratting around on the tele, but by careful research and logical consideration, we are heading deeper into a suffocating control grid imposed by a political elite. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Expect restrictions on travel, already being discussed. As this report shows, just one example of future restrictions and taxes being dreamed up to make your life miserable for emitting carbon, you bastard..(&lt;a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1219682/Pay-drive-plan-meet-green-targets.html"&gt;Drivers should be forced to pay per mile to save the planet, finds climate watchdog&lt;/a&gt;). Yeah, problem is, HUMANS DO NOT CAUSE GLOBAL WARMING! SCAM ALERT! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Expect restrictions on air travel, taxation on any form of carbon emission, carbon credit schemes and on and on. De-industrialization of the western world must take place before the entry of the world government. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Further reading: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.campaignforliberty.com/article.php?view=296"&gt;Distrusting Climate Change Globalism &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://fightinwordsusa.wordpress.com/2009/10/15/obama-poised-to-cede-us-soverignty-claims-british-lord/"&gt;Obama Poised to Cede US Sovereignty, Claims British Lord&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.globalclimatescam.com/"&gt;Global Climate Scam&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.green-agenda.com/"&gt;The Green Agenda&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6735383821693864337-8049101156190673510?l=challengingyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/feeds/8049101156190673510/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/10/climate-change-and-copenhagen.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/8049101156190673510'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/8049101156190673510'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/10/climate-change-and-copenhagen.html' title='Climate Change and Copenhagen'/><author><name>Jon Hoff</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15218703884601180050</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='14' src='http://ab.bebo.com/ab/large/2005030813/9831954a2664179b128288488l.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_tb0lU7SbvKE/Sa5tIovB-II/AAAAAAAAAbc/m5mNAEW0kIo/s72-c/AlGore.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735383821693864337.post-6935398342895918940</id><published>2009-10-23T06:01:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-23T06:03:24.090-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='videos'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='nwo'/><title type='text'>Fall of the Republic</title><content type='html'>&lt;object width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/F8LPNRI_6T8&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/F8LPNRI_6T8&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6735383821693864337-6935398342895918940?l=challengingyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/feeds/6935398342895918940/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/10/fall-of-republic.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/6935398342895918940'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/6935398342895918940'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/10/fall-of-republic.html' title='Fall of the Republic'/><author><name>Jon Hoff</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15218703884601180050</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='14' src='http://ab.bebo.com/ab/large/2005030813/9831954a2664179b128288488l.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735383821693864337.post-6120448753843480884</id><published>2009-10-11T06:03:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-11T07:08:35.929-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Book Review'/><title type='text'>Book Review: Full Spectrum Dominance</title><content type='html'>&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZxKAf8oOwtI/Sktq4kYGxWI/AAAAAAAAcAc/wdpkt7KXRms/s320/fullspectrum.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

And no more time is more apt than the present, as in the last few days Obama has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Orwell is not exactly rolling in his grave, he is nodding his head knowingly and saying - 'You never understood that 1984 was a blueprint for the future'...!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Engdahl's colleague, Michel Chossudovsky, so eloquently puts it in &lt;a href="http://globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&amp;aid=15622"&gt;his latest Global Reasearch article&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;When war becomes peace, When concepts and realities are turned upside down,When fiction becomes truth and truth becomes fiction. When a global military agenda is heralded as a humanitarian endeavor, When the killing of civilians is upheld as "collateral damage", When those who resist the US-NATO led invasion of their homeland are categorized as "insurgents" or "terrorists". When preemptive nuclear war is upheld as self defense. When advanced torture and "interrogation" techniques are routinely used to "protect peacekeeping operations", When tactical nuclear weapons are heralded by the Pentagon as "harmless to the surrounding civilian population", When three quarters of US personal federal income tax revenues are allocated to financing what is euphemistically referred to as "national defense", &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;When the Commander in Chief of the largest military force on planet earth is presented as a global peace-maker&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, When the Lie becomes the Truth. &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, back to the book! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The full title reads 'Full Spectrum Dominance: Totalitarian Democracy in the New World Order'. The book is a meticulously researched and well referenced account of the post Cold War world from a military perspective, and what the author reveals to us is that for the planners in the bowels of the Pentagon, it never ended. Full Spectrum Dominance is a term taken from the military strategists and means simply complete and utter hegemony across the world, the ability to strike first from anywhere and also to defend, from anywhere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We learn of the 'Revolution in Military Affairs' which was a policy heavily adopted by an immovable Pentagon Dinosaur, 89 years old and named Dr Andrew Marshall. Cheney and Rumsefeld worked with this guy years before they got their chance in an administration - the neo-con agenda they bought with them to power had been an ideaology years in the making. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We learn how the 'colour revolutions' of Eastern Europe, the Georgian invasion of South Ossetia and the NATO/UN support for Kosovo are all driven by the need to ensure FSD, to expand NATO westwards surrounding Russia ensuring military dominance over the strategic pipeline routes and raw materials the region has to offer. The author exposes International Affairs as a cynical game of chess where natural resources and dominance over oil fields is at the heart of the agenda of the military-industrial complex. A good example can be found in the real reason for the support of Kosovo:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Washington's bizarre diplomatic recognition of the tiny breakaway province of Kosovo was indicative of their determination to use any and all means to extend their military reach into vital strategic areas of the globe after 2001....It didn't seem to bother the US State Department that Kosovo independence and its recognition openly violated UN resolutions for Kosovo, making a farce of the UN, as well as violating international law...The new Kosovo regime was headed by Prime Minister Hashim Thaci, a 39 year-old man identified by Interpol as well as German BND intelligence reports as a criminal, a boss of Kosovo organized crime in charge of drug running, extortion and prostitution. These facts were well known in Washington.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The so called Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) was supported from the outset by the US Defense Intelligence Agency and MI6...why were Washington, NATO, the EU and the German government so eager to legitimize the breakaway Kosovo...A Kosovo run internally by organized criminal networks was easy for NATO to control. It insured a weak state that was far easier to bring under NATO domination. And, it was a prime piece of real estate in a strategically critical location. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Immediately after the bombing of Serbia in 1999, the Pentagon had seized a 1000-acre parcel of land in Kosovo...and awarded a contract to Halliburton (when Dick Cheney was CEO) to build one of the largest overseas US military bases in the world, Camp Bondsteel.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The book also covers the way that missile defense shields in Europe and elsewhere are part of an aggressive push for nuclear primacy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chapter Four, 'Weaponizing Human Rights: Darfur to Myanmar to Tibet', shows the way a new military tactic is used to cause trouble and upset regimes. It also goes into detail on the maneuverings in Africa with regard to the battle between the US and China over resources - ruthless battles that have led millions of dead through covertly funded armies hoping for a regime change. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a time when information and the truth is precious, when so much disinformation is propagated on TV and in school, this book is a valuable weapon in understanding the last 20 years of history, and for understanding upcoming world events, such as the drum beating surrounding Iran presently. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is not the book to read if you think Obama DID deserve the Nobel Peace Prize...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6735383821693864337-6120448753843480884?l=challengingyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/feeds/6120448753843480884/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/10/book-review-full-spectrum-dominance.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/6120448753843480884'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/6120448753843480884'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/10/book-review-full-spectrum-dominance.html' title='Book Review: Full Spectrum Dominance'/><author><name>Jon Hoff</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15218703884601180050</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='14' src='http://ab.bebo.com/ab/large/2005030813/9831954a2664179b128288488l.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZxKAf8oOwtI/Sktq4kYGxWI/AAAAAAAAcAc/wdpkt7KXRms/s72-c/fullspectrum.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735383821693864337.post-7355763809847127784</id><published>2009-10-08T05:45:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-08T05:49:29.966-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='videos'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='nwo'/><title type='text'>Fall of the Republic -

Some truth please...</title><content type='html'>In amongst all the disgusting propaganda unleashed in this mornings press only one news site carries some worthwhile opinion on the case of poor Natalie Morton, a 14 year old girl who died after receiving the cervical cancer jab. That article is from &lt;a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/027151_cancer_cervical_cancer_Natalie_Morton.html"&gt;Natural News&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Today, the mainstream media is reporting an obviously-fabricated explanation for her death. A pathologist is declaring that Natalie died from a "malignant chest tumor" that just coincidentally and suddenly killed her within hours after she received the cervical cancer vaccine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This explanation is obviously a cover story to protect the vaccine industry; and it's not even a convincing cover story at that. Natalie Morton had never been diagnosed with a chest tumor before, and she showed absolutely no symptoms of a cancer tumor. Chest tumors don't just "lash out" and attack their hosts all of a sudden, without warning. A typical death from a cancer tumor is more often a slow, painful wasting away that can take months or years. Natalie Morton was killed in hours, and the description of her symptoms exactly matches what might be expected from an inflammatory reaction to a chemical vaccine.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Indeed, as common sense screams, you would have to be a 'coincidence theorist' of the most mind boggling proportions to be convinced that she died of a cancerous chest tumour just hours after she had an injection, turned dizzy, fainted and then collapsed and died. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All over the world the propaganda is spreading in a desperate attempt by the pharamceutical companies to cover up their dangerous toxic products. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reuters - &lt;a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/healthNews/idUSTRE5905EN20091001"&gt;Cancer not cervical cancer vaccine killed teenager&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Times of London - &lt;a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/health/article6856774.ece"&gt;Cervical cancer jab girl Natalie Morton died of chest tumour&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Independent - &lt;a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/girl-who-died-after-cancer-jab-had-tumour-1796385.html"&gt;Girl who died after cancer jab had tumour&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wall Street Journal Blog - &lt;a href="http://blogs.wsj.com/health/2009/10/01/cervical-cancer-vaccine-didnt-kill-uk-teenager/"&gt;Cervarix Cervical Cancer Vaccine Not At Fault In Death Of Natalie Morton&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And on, and on, and on. Not one piece questioning the coronors report, questioning the sudden 'official' story that cancer caused this sudden death and it the slightly suspicious timing of the jab just hours before. Once again, to understand how the media can be so compliant in this big pharma cover up, I highly recommend reading the book 'Flat Earth News' (&lt;a href="http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/08/book-review-flat-earth-news.html"&gt;see my review here&lt;/a&gt;) which dissects the world's media industry into the grizzly, pathetic little pieces it is made of. The book talks a lot about the influence of PR, and this story being transmitted around news channels of the globe smacks of a PR campaign from big pharma to protect their name and more importantly their profits. Let's get this clear once and for all, PUBLIC HEALTH DOES NOT ENTER THE EQUATION. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If we step beyond the media circus for a few brief seconds, we can actually learn some of the facts behind this vaccine. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An &lt;a href="http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/08/hpv_vaccine_facts_all_parents.html"&gt;article in the American Thinker &lt;/a&gt;states: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;In a just-released article in the Journal of the American Medical Association, federal researchers report that after analyzing 12,424 "adverse events" [out of the 13,758 reports of problems as of May 1] voluntarily reported by girls vaccinated with Gardasil that two problems are common.  One -- fainting -- is not inherently serious, but can be if the girl falls and hits her head.  The other side effect -- "dangerous blood clots" -- is quite troubling.  Most of the problems with Gardasil (93 percent) are minor: headache, nausea, and fever.  But a disturbing seven percent included hospitalization, permanent disability, life-threatening illness, or death&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The excellent UK based site &lt;a href="http://childhealthsafety.wordpress.com"&gt;Child Health Safety&lt;/a&gt; carries a couple of articles and links to interesting research regarding the vaccines being used for HPV, such as this article &lt;a href="http://childhealthsafety.wordpress.com/2009/05/31/germany-hpv/"&gt;'HPV Vaccine questioned Internationally&lt;/a&gt;' and a tragic listing of the 39 cases of death from the shot so far : &lt;a href="http://childhealthsafety.wordpress.com/2009/07/06/gardasil-victims/"&gt;Gardasil Victims - In Memoriam - Healthy Young Women aged 15-21&lt;/a&gt;. Most revealing of all is &lt;a href="http://cynthiajanak.com/United_Kingdom_Concerns_Regarding_HPV_doc20-05-09.doc"&gt;a document written by Freda M Birrell and  Christina England&lt;/a&gt;, Student Journalist writing for the American Chronicle, New Media Journal and Blitz Weekly on adverse reactions to vaccines. They say in their report:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Within the small print of the Cervarix package leaflet and GP Advert,  GSK makes the following points:  “There is no data on the use of Cervarix in subjects with impaired immune responsiveness;”  “Duration of protection has not been fully established;” and “Timing and need of booster has not been investigated.”&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amazing stuff, that small print! The manufactueres (GSK) not only had no idea how long the 'protection' would last or when or even if boosters would be needed, but they had no idea how it might affect young girls with 'impaired immune responsivness'...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here, a summary from Dr James Howenstine's  excellent article &lt;a href="http://www.newswithviews.com/Howenstine/james170.htm"&gt;'HUMAN PAPILLOMA VIRUS VACCINE FRAUD'&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;• HPV vaccine increases the risk of developing a precancerous cervical lesion by 44.6% in women .previously infected with a HPV viral type found in the vaccine.&lt;br /&gt;• HPV virus does not cause cervical cancer.&lt;br /&gt;• HPV viral infections are self limiting and are not a health threat to healthy females.&lt;br /&gt;• This valuable information about the etiology of HPV viral infections has been suppressed from public knowledge.&lt;br /&gt;• Allowing untruths about Gardasil to be disseminated in public hearings and planting fear have been used to promote sales of this worthless vaccine.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just a &lt;a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/GoogleSearchResults.html?q=HPV+vaccine&amp;cx=010579349100583850635%3Aw_kzwe9_yca&amp;cof=FORID%3A11&amp;ie=UTF-8#1080"&gt;quick search on Natural News &lt;/a&gt;brings back 8 pages of results on the HPV vaccine, browsing these articles will strengthen your knowledge of the truth. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Natalie, my thoughts to you and your family, the hope we can draw from this tragic occurance is that one more pocket of society has been awakened to the lies and deciet of those who pretend to be concerned for our health.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6735383821693864337-219358949704542064?l=challengingyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/feeds/219358949704542064/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/10/cervical-cancer-jab-truth-now.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/219358949704542064'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/219358949704542064'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/10/cervical-cancer-jab-truth-now.html' title='Cervical Cancer Jab - Some truth please...'/><author><name>Jon Hoff</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15218703884601180050</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='14' src='http://ab.bebo.com/ab/large/2005030813/9831954a2664179b128288488l.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735383821693864337.post-5408349881792310583</id><published>2009-09-28T07:12:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-28T07:17:30.578-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='videos'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='nwo'/><title type='text'>Is this our world?</title><content type='html'>Recent footage from the Infowars team over at the G20 shows what can only be described as frightening intimidation and violence from the police.

The ratification of the Treaty has been completed by EU countries except Ireland and the Czech Republic, who have recently threatened to delay ratifying it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Lisbon Treaty is the single most important thing to happen in European history since the Second World War. Think about that for a minute. How much do you know about the Lisbon Treaty? The Lisbon Treaty is history in the making, it is the legalisation of a European Super State. It's the European Constitution repackaged, and it turns the EU into a STATE, it gives the EU legal and diplomatic status, it will hand all control over every part of life to Brussels. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, you might say, so what! It all might seem fairly innocent, those trustworthy politicans just want what's best for us don't they? Unfortunately, this is not the case. The Lisbon Treaty is the final centralisation of power for the European continent, a stepping stone in the 'totalitarian tip-toe' towards a world government. I suggest watching the video &lt;a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4291770489472554607&amp;hl=en#"&gt;EU, End of Nations&lt;/a&gt; for a fuller understanding of the way the EU works. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other aspects of the Treaty have been discussed by Jim Corr of The Corrs, including the death penalty which is nicely tucked away in the small print. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fCPicGUQv4M&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fCPicGUQv4M&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to Anthony and Derek from Wise Up Journal in &lt;a href="http://www.redicecreations.com/radio/2009/09sep/RIR-090917.php"&gt;their interview on Red Ice Creations&lt;/a&gt;, Jim Corr has been flying his plane over Dublin with a 'Vote No' message. Fantastic stuff...! The Red Ice page has some great links for those who wish to explore more. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Always worth checking out is Nigel Farage, the leader of the UK Independence Party (UKIP), orator of famous speeches deriding the EU and the political leaders who champion it, and now doing his best for the 'No' vote through representing a group of MEPs who have formed the EFD (&lt;a href="http://www.efdgroup.eu/"&gt;Europe of Freedom and Democracy Group&lt;/a&gt;).

The article states: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;The European Union is developing a 21st century panopticon, a beast surveillance system that critics describe as “Orwellian,” “sinister,” and “positively chilling,” that would collate data from numerous sources, including surveillance cameras and personal computers, in order to detect “abnormal behavior” across the entire continent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a broader sense, this is part of the move towards creating a pan-European federal police force, where information and powers are shared as part of a centralized system. It is also a giant step towards the creation of a European CIA tasked not with keeping tabs on foreign enemies, but spying on its own population.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Abnormal behaviour"? What, like having a blog that's anti-EU?! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And here it is in all it's hellish glory : &lt;a href="http://www.indect-project.eu/"&gt;Project Indect&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Come on Ireland, vote NO!

It's the kind of accurate 20th century history that I will be encouraging my offspring to read when they are being educated. For probably over a year now I have been waiting to buy Engdahl's second book, 'Seeds of Destruction', two weeks ago finally I made the purchase and it arrived on my doorstep. Following on in the same informative and revelatory fashion as 'Century of War', 'Seeds of Destruction' tells the story of agriculture in the post second war world, the American century.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.fairstyle.nl/tl_files/afbeeldingen/seeds_of_destruction%5B1%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 254px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 367px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.fairstyle.nl/tl_files/afbeeldingen/seeds_of_destruction%5B1%5D.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Engdahl starts with the story of Dr Arpad Pusztai. Pusztai was involved in one of the only truly scientific studies of the effects of GMO foods. A renowned scientist and working for the prestigious Rowett Research Institute, the research had a budget of $1.5 million. The results were not what the industry wanted to hear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;The rats fed for more than 110 days on a diet of GM potatoes had marked changes to their development. They were significantly smaller in size and body weight than ordinary potato-fed control rats in the same experiment. More alarming, however, was the fact that the GMO rats showed markedly smaller liver and heart sizes, and demonstrated weaker immune systems. The most alarming finding from Pusztai's laboratory test, however, was the markedly smaller brain size of the GMO-fed rats...&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pusztai was then to appear on the British documentary show 'World in Action', where his comments left the GMO industry in serious danger - even though he withheld some of the most important details. He said:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;We are assured that this is absolutely safe. We can eat it all the time.....but as a scientist, working in the field, I find that it is very, very unfair, to use our fellow citizens as guinea pigs...if I had a choice, I would certainly not eat it until I see at least comparable scientific evidence.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.columban.org.au/assets/images/gm/Gmo_Tomato__451868_cut.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 313px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.columban.org.au/assets/images/gm/Gmo_Tomato__451868_cut.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The story continues, unsurprisingly, in the following fashion:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Within 48 hours, the 68-year-old researcher was told his contract would not be renewed. He was effectively fired, along with his wife who had been a Rowett researcher for 13 years. Moreover, under the threat of losing his pension, Pusztai was told not to ever speak to the press about his research. His papers were seized and placed under lock. He was forbidden to talk to members of his research team under the threat of legal action...&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cooperativegrocer.coop/images/GMO-in-trash.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 368px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.cooperativegrocer.coop/images/GMO-in-trash.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The author then follows the investigation to try and understand what happened in such a short space of time, the political agenda behind discrediting the research showing GMO was wholly unsafe for human consumption...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Monsanto had spoken with Clinton, who in turn had directly spoken to Blair about the "Pusztai problem". Blair then spoke to Rowett's director, Philip James. Twenty four hours later, Dr Arpad Pusztai was out on the street...if it was true, it meant that a private corporation, through a simple phone call, had been able to mobilize the President of the USA and the Prime Minister of Great Britain on behalf of private interests.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We then move onto the planning of the post-war world which the American strategists knew was to be theirs to dominate. Part of the plans was the domination of world food production, turning as Kissinger famously stated, food into a weapon. The transformation of agriculture into 'agribusiness' and its very close ties to the biotech and later the GMO research are all exposed, and the people involved named. Most of them have the surname 'Rockefeller'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The eugenics movement is also exposed as being an interlocking part of the same agenda, particularly the notorious National Security Study Memorandum 200 written by Kissinger (a document which named 13 developing countries to be targeted for population reduction). In the chapter 'Brotherhood of Death', Engdahl recalls some of the family history:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chases's (David Rockefeller’s bank) most profitable business during the 1950's was via Puerto Rico...financing runaway sweatshops fleeing higher wages in the US. The family controlled company, International Basic Economy Corporation (IBEC) built up vast assets on the island. The only straps (reference to Operation Bootstrap) were those used by sweatshop owners on the island to force a higher level of productivity from their workers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While Nelson was busy encouraging the spirit of free enterprise among&lt;br /&gt;Puerto Ricans, brother John D III was running human experiments on mass sterilization on the poorer citizens of Puerto Rico.....J.D.III made Puerto Rico into a huge laboratory to test his ideas on mass population control beginning in the 1950's. By 1965, an estimated 35% of PR's women of child bearing age had been permanently sterilized, according to a study made that year by the Island's public health department'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A lovely quote from scientist Rhoads who worked at Rockefeller University:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Porto Ricans are without doubt the dirtiest, laziest, most degenerate and thievish race of men ever inhabiting this sphere. What the island needs is not public health work but a tidal wave or something to totally exterminate the population. I have done my best by killing off 8.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He injected live cancer cells into his victims to see what happened, 8 died.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://studentbusinessuniverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/rockefellerjohnbio3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 300px;" src="http://studentbusinessuniverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/rockefellerjohnbio3.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;b&gt;J.D.Rockefeller III - lovely guy&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The chapter goes onto to explain the origins of Eugenics with Dalton and then the Rockefeller financing of German and Nazi Eugenics, and finally the repackaging of the science post second world war - later becoming 'sustainable development' in Orwellian double-speak.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The book then goes on to explain the way the giant grain producing corporations turned food into a commodity with markets and the way Argentina was used as an experiment - not only for the IMF but also for the use of GMO seeds. A few private businesses and families totally destroyed the Argentinean farming industry, and also the standard of living of that entire country. The full story of what the New York banks did to that country is sickening and justifies alone the tagline on the back cover of this book - 'a must read for all those committed to the cause of social justice and world peace'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;In the more tranquil era of the 1970's, before the New York banks stepped in, Argentina enjoyed one of the highest living standards in Latin America. The percentage of its population officially below the poverty line was 5% in 1970. By 1998, that had escalated to 30% of the population. And by 2002, to 51%. By 2003, malnutrition rose to levels estimated at between 11% and 17% of the total population of 37 million. &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moving on, the book then covers the methods in which the giant corporations and tax-free foundations organized their political juggernaut to push through their unsafe GMO technologies and also the creation of the WTO as the world's policeman on trade, of course representing the powerful lobby of corporate interests and not the peasant farmers losing their land and being entrapped in a 'new kind of serfdom' by Monsanto's seed patenting methods.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can probably guess what the chapter 'Iraq gets American Seeds of Democracy' entails - open season for the US corporations and their insidious agricultural technologies. This included the adoption of Order 81 in the new laws of Iraq, basically written by Monsanto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;In plain English Order 81 gave holders of patents on plant varieties (which all happened to be large foreign multinationals) absolute rights over use of their seeds in Iraqi agriculture for 20 years......what Order 81 did, in fact, was amend Iraq's patent law to recognize foreign patents, regardless of the legality of such patents under Iraqi law....The protected plant varieties were Genetically Modified or Gene manipulated plants, and Iraqi farmers who chose to plant seeds were required to sign an agreement with the seed company holding the patent, stipulating that they would pay a "technology fee" and an annual license fee for planting seeds....At the heart of Order 81 was the Plant Variety Protection provision. Under the PVP, seed saving and reuse would become illegal....the plant varieties being protected were not those which resulted from 10,000 years of Iraqi farm cross-breeding an development. Rather, the protection was given to back up the rights of giant multinational companies. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.pacificseed.com/images/seeds.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 600px; height: 391px;" src="http://www.pacificseed.com/images/seeds.gif" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 'Planting the Garden of Earthly Delights' we learn about the corporations who have poisoned the environment over the year as being the same corporations who now come to dominate the worlds seeds and GMO markets. The author discusses the proliferation of GMO crops around the world and especially in the US food supply. The devastating effect of GMO crops ion our previously virgin soil is also discussed, and how the changes in chemistry and DNA of other organisms could effect whole animal and plant species and entire ecosystems. The scariest thought is that there is no way to reverse the effects either.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next chapter entitled 'Terminator, Traitor, Spermicidal Corn' may well send a chill down your spine. It draws together the long term agenda of world population reduction as laid down by Rockefeller eugenics and Kissinger’s NSSM 200 and then the GMO/agribusiness giants in collusion with the US Department of Agriculture, the WTO, the World Bank and IMF.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;In October 2002, the London Guardian reported that the US Government offered emergency famine relief during a sever drought, aid worth $266 million, to six countries in southern Africa. However, it offered it only in the form of genetically modified corn from US surplus stocks, although ample conventional corn was available on the market. Corn was the staple food in that region of Africa. Zambia, Malawi and Zimbabwe all refused the GMO corn, citing possible health hazards....Professor David King, Science advisor to Britain's prime minister, denounced the efforts by the United States to force GMO technology into Africa, calling it a "massive human experiment". The British aid organization, Action Aid, criticized the US action, declaring, "farmers will be caught in a vicious circle, increasingly dependent on a small number of giant multinationals for patented seeds." That was precisely the plan. &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The chapter also speaks of the development of Terminator/Traitor technologies, where seeds do not reproduce and some have gene switches which can turned on and off to affect the development of the plant. They can only be turned on and off by herbicides made by the same companies who have patented the seeds. Most scary of all, a US company developed a spermicidal corn..the implications are there for all to see. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I say to anyone who doubts that there is a eugenics agenda operating in the world today, and one that is &lt;em&gt;well&lt;/em&gt; under way already, to read this book and make their own conclusions. The political history and involvement of the Rockefeller ideology throughout speaks for itself. The millennia old human skill of cultivating the land and reusing seeds is coming to an end thanks to a handful of private individuals and corporations who think they are better than you and me, quite literally. The following quote sums up the elitist attitude and provides a window into the bizarre, brazenly arrogant world of eugenics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;We have failed to take into account a trait which is almost universal and is very deep in human nature. People are simply not willing to accept the idea that the genetic base on which their character was formed is inferior and should not be repeated in the next generation...They won't accept the idea that they are in general second rate....Fredrick Osborn, founding member of the American Eugenics Society, first head of J.D Rockefellers Population Council. &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6735383821693864337-1186366147799763351?l=challengingyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/feeds/1186366147799763351/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/09/book-review-seeds-of-destruction.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/1186366147799763351'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/1186366147799763351'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/09/book-review-seeds-of-destruction.html' title='Book Review: Seeds of Destruction'/><author><name>Jon Hoff</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15218703884601180050</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='14' src='http://ab.bebo.com/ab/large/2005030813/9831954a2664179b128288488l.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735383821693864337.post-287936644346322069</id><published>2009-09-06T01:24:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-19T21:31:52.133-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='philosophy'/><title type='text'>Good Thinking vs Poor Thinking</title><content type='html'>This quote and subsequent definitions are from the book '&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Brave-New-Schools-Berit-Kjos/dp/1565073886/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=books&amp;amp;qid=1252234834&amp;amp;sr=8-1"&gt;Brave New Schools&lt;/a&gt;'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Good thinkers are willing to think and may even find thinking enjoyable. They can carry out searches when necessary and &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;suspend judgement&lt;/span&gt;.

Only those who perhaps have a disposition for inquiry or a cynical nature may be naturally good thinkers. It's so easy for 'them' when they know and study the nature of the human speicies to then train us through indocrination to think in a certain way. Part of this is our education system. One of the most basic things school does is teach a child how to obey authority. Yes sir, no sir. Don't do that. Bad boy. Detention after school. Training for the future in a society of people who don't question their authority. Never mind the fact that students leave school having learnt nothing of value, the curriculum devoid of meaningful content. This is the dumbing down - it isn't particularly visible but it's more what is omitted that is dangerous.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.familyanatomy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/stockxpertcom_id21487051_jpg_eeb5e901d923e7cb08a5e05a922682962.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 346px; height: 347px;" src="http://www.familyanatomy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/stockxpertcom_id21487051_jpg_eeb5e901d923e7cb08a5e05a922682962.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Not only do we produce 16 year olds who don't question authority and who know nothing of their rights or the bigger picture in the world, we also produce 'Poor Thinkers'. This is a combination of the educational system and also poor thinking parents and teachers who know no better. We have a population who somehow base their judgements on emotional responses and not a logical thinking process. This has been cleverly interwoven into the fabric of our schools and our society.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Almost every conversation I have about today's issues reflects this. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A) "911 was an inside job, it's well documented. There are literally hundreds of books, websites and movies on it. They even found thermite at ground zero."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Now, it is my opinion that a sane person would take this seriously and not dismiss it out of hand. They would say something like this: &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;B) "Really, you think that. Wow. I only know what the mainstream media told me, I'll check out some of those sites and movies and get back to you once I've made up my mind" &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;An &lt;i&gt;insane&lt;/i&gt; person, someone who has lost the ability to think properly through a combination of upbringing, schooling and TV (too much TV actually reduces your ability to think rationally as well) would say something like this: &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;B) "What, there's no way that's true! Why would the American Government kill it's own people, that's ridiculous!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51N6Fm2dNVL._SL500_AA240_.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 240px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51N6Fm2dNVL._SL500_AA240_.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It says quite a lot about the state of the mental health of the western world. Indeed, as Lobaczewski pointed out in &lt;a href="http://www.ponerology.com/"&gt;Political Ponerology&lt;/a&gt;, when an entire population is suffering from a mass psycological disorder (in this case the inability to think properly) they then allow psycopaths to lead them. How could a sane society carry on as if everything was normal whilst Tony Blair sent our young men to their deaths and stands jointly responsible for 1 million dead Iraqis (2 million+ including sanctions). How could a sane society allow the police state prison to be constructed around them whilst their liberties are dismantled at the same time - and then take comfort that the government, the same government who lie about wars and kill innocent people, were doing it to protect them? This is not sanity, this is a mass psycosis of people who can not think for themselves.  Does a sane society allow its children to be injected and drugged without investigating what's in those vaccines, or without questioning their blind trust of giant pharamceutical companies...? The level of insanity is immense in our society, and I believe it stems from the way we have been trained to think - in other words to not think very much at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://zipline.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/sheep_racing.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px; height: 354px;" src="http://zipline.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/sheep_racing.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;div&gt;Please, next time you hear some information from a friend which you can't quite believe, stop for a minute and decide if you are having an emotional response or a logical one. I tell someone that vaccines are bad and my daughter isn't having any. Some people actually end up defending big pharma! I tell people man-made global warming doesn't exist. I tell people Obama is a puppet, I tell people swine flu was made in a lab, I tell people there is a plan to depopulate the planet by 80%, the same story over and over. Emotional responses over logical ones. WAKE. UP! The very health and safety of your life and your children's lives depends on it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are literally thousands of people out there on the Internet just screaming at people to listen. They are not doing it for fun because this isn't a game. They are doing it out of desperation because they know the truth of what is coming ultimately and the frustration that very few people share the understanding can be consuming.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think this interview with Steve Quayle regarding the American economy, the recent Chinese announcement and swine flu should show people the gravity of the situation.

The reptile thing makes more sense when you begin to understand that activity on the Earth extends well beyond our 'textbook' knowledge of the first civilizations, namely the Egyptians and Sumerians. These early cultures possessed technologies that were handed down to them, not created from scratch. The monoliths, the knowledge of the stars, the matching myths and legends, the mysteries - all can not be explained and so are conveniently ignored by mainstream academia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Am I saying I believe in alien reptiles? Not really, no. Firstly, I haven't investigated it enough. But who am I to say it's impossible...how could I know everything about the nature of reality and this incredible universe we find ourselves in. What I do know is that after reading &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Fingerprints-Gods-Graham-Hancock/dp/0517887290/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=books&amp;amp;qid=1250916206&amp;amp;sr=8-1"&gt;Fingerprints of the Gods&lt;/a&gt; by Graham Hancock I saw the history of the planet and our species in an entirely different light, and then Zecharia Sitchin's '&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Twelfth-Planet-Book-Earth-Chronicles/dp/0061379131/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=books&amp;amp;qid=1250916407&amp;amp;sr=1-1"&gt;The Twelfth Planet&lt;/a&gt;' continued to breakdown my previously rigid barriers of possibility - whether his theories are right or wrong, they force you to think of their implications.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instant dismissal of David Icke makes me cringe. How ignorant of you to brush aside a man with twenty years of research into the system that controls our lives, a man who has an intricate understanding of the history of the human race, a detailed knowledge of the political history of the 20th century, and for me, is one of the leading thinkers on the nature of reality, albeit more 'irate cabbie' than brilliant scientist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the very least if the reptile thing is too much for you forget about it and focus on the rest of his work, for example currently exposing the EU and the swine flu hoax - it's so important.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Icke's work is highly respected and aside from his range of books, DVDs, lectures and his world tour, he often appears on radio shows such as Alex Jones, Red Ice Creations and Consciousness Media Network - he also recently appeared on &lt;a href="http://www.projectcamelot.org/"&gt;Project Camelot&lt;/a&gt;. In Britain, mind-trash newspaper 'The Sun' has featured stories of both &lt;a href="http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizarre/article720160.ece"&gt;Robbie Williams&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizarre/728619/Noel-Gallagher-Oasis-singer-Is-a-fan-of-David-Icke.html"&gt;Noel Gallagher&lt;/a&gt; being fans of David Icke - these guys and millions of others appreciate his work. Although it is not fashionable in the Western world to be 'intellectual' and discuss 'serious issues', Icke appeals to those who buck the trend of wallowing in their own stupidity, ignorance and delusions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.davidickebooks.co.uk/images/uploads/david_icke_guide_300.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 415px;" src="http://www.davidickebooks.co.uk/images/uploads/david_icke_guide_300.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Icke's most recent book is called 'The David Icke Guide to the Global Conspiracy and How To End It', a compendium of two decades of research. You can call it 'The Bible'; for anyone looking for an introduction to what is happening in the world today you need this book on your shelf - within it the dots are connected - as each chapter is entitled a 'dot'. From the nature of reality to the history of the human race to the modern scientific application of methods of control in our society to the names and families who fund these agendas, it is all found between the covers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To follow someone like Icke does not prove you are a jabbering lunatic as the media would have you believe, it shows you have the vigor of mind to do your own thinking and consider the evidence presented before you independently of the spoon to mouth method of information acquirement which most seem to base their knowledge on. The truth will set you free!

Are newspapers seriously damaging your insight? Does what you read every day contain lies, PR, Propaganda and Distortion? Find out who's controlling your news in this shocking expose from the ultimate insider.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The book breaks down into four parts, Flat Earth Stories, The News Factory, Hidden Persuaders and Inside Stories. Starting with Flat Earth Stories, Davies explains how a story once originated can spread around the world's news agencies and become regarded as fact, despite not one person bothering to check if the story was true or not. His example to begin with is the millenium bug which we know now did absolutely nothing. The 'weapons of mass destruction' story is a more damaging example of what the author calls 'flat earth news' throughout the book.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Part Two the people involved in the news are discussed including the agencies and journalists and the nature of their work. We find out that their world is one of intense pressure and an inability to work professionally (checking sources etc). In a Chapter entitled 'Rules of Production' the rules to which stories are produced are laid out: 1) Run cheap stories, 2) Select safe facts, 3)Avoid the electric fence (controversial stories), 4)Select safe ideas, 5)Always give both sides of the story, 6) Give them what they want (the customers), 7)The bias against truth, 8)Give them what they want to believe in, 9) Go with the moral panic and 10)If someone else is running the story then we should too. Interesting examples are provided for each rule which combine to paint a desperate picture of what we expect to be served up as the truth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rule number three, avoid the electric fence, unsurprisingly brings up the following: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;...the most potent electric fence in the world is the one erected on behalf of the Israeli government...journalists who write stories which offend the politics of the Israeli lobby are subjected to a campaign of formal complaints and pressure on their editors; most of all, they are inundated with letters and emails which can be extravagant in their hostility...there is now a network of pro-Israel pressure groups who specialise in orchestrating complaints against the media. HonestReporting has offices in London, New York and Toronto and claims to have 140,000 members on whom it can call to drench media organisations in letters and emails (he goes on to describe many more pro-Israel pressure groups)....the result is that some facts become too dangerous: to report Palestinian casualties; to depict the Palestinians as victims of Israeli occupation; to refer to the historic ousting of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from their homes; to refer to the killing of Palestinian civilians by Zionist groups in the 1940s...words become dangerous: to speak of 'occupied territories'; to describe Palestinian bombers as anything other than 'terrorists'; to reject the Israeli government euphemism of 'targeted killings'. Crucially, there is no lobby of similar force on the Palestinian side&lt;/blockquote&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And later in the chapter:  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;A report in July 2005, by the Genocide Intervention Fund and the American Progress Action Fund, compared the scale of coverage of three stories on US television during the previous month: the fighting in Sudan which ahd killed 400,000 people in Darfur and now spread to the east of the country; the activities of Tom Cruise who had announced his engagement and publicly defended his involvement with the Church of Scientology; and the trail on charges of child molestation of Michael Jackson. The found that Tom Cruise got twelve times as much coverage as Darfur, and Michael Jackson got fifty times as much...&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And we wonder why the public is ignorant and entire nations are mislead over their military-industrial complex led empire projects (read USA/UK). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe the most fascinating part of the book is 'The Hidden Persuaders'. Its chapter 'The private life of public relations' explains the sickening influence of PR on the media, including political spin from press officers. In 'The Propaganda Puzzle' we learn of the role of the military, secret services (MI5, MI6) and CIA in manipulating the press and planting false stories. Most of the examples provided are from the most recent invasion of Iraq. The chapter explains how post world war two the CIA actually owned a massive chuck of the worldwide press including newspapers worldwide. Evidence of MI6's 'large' influence in the British press is also provided. Also discussed is the now common place military 'psyop' - psychological operations to deceive and brainwash the public (ongoing, you understand). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;The illustration was very clear. It showed a cross-section of the interior of a mountain containing an enormous man-made cave: cut deep to avoid thermal detection; concrete stairs linking at least ten subterranean floors with domitories, office space, a fuel depot and storage area for weapons, including Stinger missiles; electric lighting, sophisticated ventilation, computer systems and telephones, all powered by the cave's own hydroelectric power generated from mountain streams; with secret exits and a main big entrance big enough to take trucks and tanks. This illustration ran in media outlets across the world in November 2001, describing the refuge of Osama Bin Laden in the mountains of Tora Bora in north-eastern Afghanistan. The then US Defense Secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, commented on it in the US television programme Meet the Press. 'Oh, you bet,' he said. 'This is serious business. And there is not just one of those. There are many.' In truth, there were none. Somebody fabricated the illustration. &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is more of a light hearted example of the lies thrown into the media during the Iraw war, the author provides several cases of damaging misinformation provided by the US leadership which eventually turns out to be completely false and simply part of military psyops to serve their agenda. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The last part of the book provides some very interesting case studies of British newspapers and why they are so bad at what they do, including the destruction of the Sunday Times once infamous Insight team who lead the brilliant investigation into the story of Guy Burgess, soviet spy and all that. That, as the author laments, was real journalism. This book exposes what we are left with today for a media industry, and its a pretty pathetic excuse for an industry, now confirmed.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6735383821693864337-7609476497712897439?l=challengingyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/feeds/7609476497712897439/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/08/book-review-flat-earth-news.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/7609476497712897439'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/7609476497712897439'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/08/book-review-flat-earth-news.html' title='Book Review: Flat Earth News'/><author><name>Jon Hoff</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15218703884601180050</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='14' src='http://ab.bebo.com/ab/large/2005030813/9831954a2664179b128288488l.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735383821693864337.post-2216729300550593194</id><published>2009-07-26T08:26:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-09T19:50:38.153-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='chemtrails'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='nwo'/><title type='text'>You Are Being Sprayed With Chemicals...</title><content type='html'>&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.redicecreations.com/specialreports/2006/01jan/chemtrails.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 480px; height: 319px;" src="http://www.redicecreations.com/specialreports/2006/01jan/chemtrails.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For anyone living in the western world, especially the UK or the USA it seems, you are being sprayed like a pest on a crop by your very own military. &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Of course, the history of testing chemical and biological weapons on populations is not hard to dig up lest we forget that it has happened before in the past. The Guardian reported on the rather infamous case of Porton Down in Anthony Barnett's article '&lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/Archive/Article/0,4273,4398507,00.html"&gt;Millions were in germ war tests, Much of Britain was exposed to bacteria sprayed in secret trials&lt;/a&gt;'. Strangely enough :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;military personnel were briefed to tell any 'inquisitive inquirer' the trials were part of research projects into weather and air pollution.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is an excuse you'll come across today as well, albeit with different spraying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you think there is a war on, you are right. But it's not in Iraq or Afghanistan, it's a silent war against you and your family, a war which uses 'soft kill' techniques and is bankrolled by the enormous wealth of a small group of international bankers and their clique, who over three hundred years if not more have been allowed to develop their twisted ideologies unchecked - an ideology which openly states the following:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The common man is stupid and needs to be ruled by those who know what is best for him, selective breeding is necessary to prolong and improve humankind (eugenics) and the best way to do this is through covert means - if he knew he might get angry and start to realise what is happening, this is not good cause there's only a few of us and many of those common men. It's better to keep man in a constant state of fear through the use of problems we create ourselves (fake wars, fake terror, fake diseases, fake environmental problems) - then he is easy to control, always worried about other things (we've already created the clever system of lifetime slavery through debt with our ownership of all banking and fiat currency systems anyway...). We should also work on 'dumbing down' the common man. There are a number of ways we can do this: through the education system (teaching nothing of value), through the food supply, through an attack on the general health of the population...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I feel it worth republishing Aldous Huxley, as he seemed to know all this 50 years ago:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;There will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods. And this seems to be the final revolution.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Talking of an attack on your health, today I am not mentioning your contaminated and aspartame riddled GMO food supply or your fluoridated water, not talking about the scandal that is vaccines and the ridicule of natural medicine, not the dangers of electromagnetic pollution and its effect on your cells, not even how modern culture (TV, Movies, Video Games etc) is slowly rotting your ability to reason - today I am talking about chemtrails...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;First, the evidence. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;These are pictures I took myself in sunny Bournemouth in June this year early in the morning. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jonhoff/3758065066/" title="Image087 by jonhoff, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2465/3758065066_961495483f.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="Image087" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jonhoff/3757266967/" title="Image092 by jonhoff, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2662/3757266967_955682ed6d.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="Image092" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And some pictures Mr Ski took from an area just outside London on the very same morning:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jonhoff/3758064616/" title="IMG_1361 by jonhoff, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3452/3758064616_460dffc905.jpg" width="500" height="281" alt="IMG_1361" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jonhoff/3758064924/" title="IMG_1364 by jonhoff, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2671/3758064924_6bae3af299.jpg" width="500" height="281" alt="IMG_1364" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And one more from myself, on a different day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jonhoff/3757267147/" title="Picture 042 by jonhoff, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2673/3757267147_810593093f.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="Picture 042" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just do a Google image search for 'chemtrail', you'll be amazed. Some of the pictures from the US are astonishing! Criss-cross patterns, whole grids and crosses of these things. Of course, the first Google search result for 'chemtrail' is Trueipidia, sorry I mean Wikipedia's 'Chemtrail Conspiracy Theory' page. But seeing as the FBI, &lt;a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/6947532.stm"&gt;CIA&lt;/a&gt;, Pentagon and Vatican all edit Wikipedia pages...and &lt;a href="http://www.dailypaul.com/node/52885"&gt;Eric Schmidt is a recent invitee&lt;/a&gt; of the Bilderberg conferences...no no, it's all just coincidence!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the &lt;a href="http://www.chemtrailsuk.net/"&gt;Chemtrails UK&lt;/a&gt; site, time lapse footage one summers morning. This is a good way to observe the military style operation in progress.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/pL50vs899uw&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/pL50vs899uw&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An area often disputed with chemtrails is that they are actually just normal contrails. Well even without going into the science of that I would ask the following: why are they in the sky some days and not others...I know the regular flight paths around my house in the UK.. these patterns are totally random and not those of the usual routes the jets take. I also know that normal contrails disappear very soon after they have left their trails in the sky. Chemtrails, notoriously, linger in the sky for many hours, slowly dissipating into a wider, larger area. &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We can go further now. For those still skeptical, Chycho.com carries an interesting article, &lt;a href="http://www.chycho.com/?q=Chemtrails"&gt;Germany becomes first country to admit clandestine chemtrails operations.&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;The TV news report states that “the military planes of the German Federal Army are manipulating our climate; this is what the weather researchers are presuming and their suspicions are confirmed…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“We can state with a 97% certainty that we have on our hands chemical trails (chemtrails) comprised by fine dust containing polymers and metals, used to disrupt radar signals.”&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now chemtrails are 'coming out of the closet' in classical NWO psy-op style. They are being edged into the public conciousness, and are (and will be in the future) touted as heroic efforts to alter earth's climate in the face of the horrific threat posed by global warming (despite &lt;a href="http://www.infowars.com/global-warming-or-global-cooling-a-new-trend-in-climate-alarmism/"&gt;the fact that all scientific data shows the Earth is in a cooling trend&lt;/a&gt; - but that doesn't matter, as long as Al Gore says we're getting hotter, we are).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is one of the ways to get chemtrails recognised by the sleeping herd, slowly introducing them in whatever form. Here it is being done by the History channel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/n3gKa0z7rjM&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/n3gKa0z7rjM&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another form of 'predictive programming' is done through subliminal means. Check out this clip from the film &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxNeoXkL0mM"&gt;Don't talk about the weather&lt;/a&gt; which shows just a few examples of chemtrails featuring in Hollywood, advertising, computer games and &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;kids animation movies&lt;/span&gt;. Just getting their little minds ready for skies permanently filled with trails. Sick, isn't it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/JIJLkYXfc3U&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/JIJLkYXfc3U&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then we have an article recently in the Wall Street Journal nonetheless. This is a classic case of forming public opinion before the issue even arises. The article entitled '&lt;a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204771304574181522575503150.html"&gt;It's time to cool the planet&lt;/a&gt;' argues that chemtrails 'could' be used to disperse reflective particles into the Earth's atmosphere using jet liners. Just one small problem - we all know that &lt;a href="http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/02/convenient-and-scary-lie.html"&gt;man-made global warming is bollocks&lt;/a&gt;. At least I hope we do. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Two approaches hold the most promise: injecting tons of sulfates—essentially solid particles of sulfur dioxide—into the stratosphere, and pumping seawater into the lower atmosphere to create clouds....everal studies have shown it could be done using some combination of high-altitude balloons, dispersal in jet-aircraft exhaust, and even more exotic platforms such as artillery shells&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This article serves the purpose of 'giving' mediocre minds their arguments and their moral highground and their ability to participate in an intelligent sounding conversation about saving the earth. The reality is very different. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, what is all this about, if it &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;is&lt;/span&gt; happening but it &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;isn't&lt;/span&gt; about altering the Earth's temperature? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What's in a chemtrail? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, Barium for one. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;The soluble salts of barium, an alkaline earth metal, are toxic in mammalian systems. They are absorbed rapidly from the gastrointestinal tract and are deposited in the muscles, lungs, and bone. Barium is excreted primarily in the feces. At low doses, barium acts as a muscle stimulant and at higher doses affects the nervous system eventually leading to paralysis. Acute and subchronic oral doses of barium cause vomiting and diarrhea, followed by decreased heart rate and elevated blood pressure. Higher doses result in cardiac irregularities, weakness, tremors, anxiety, and dyspnea. A drop in serum potassium may account for some of the symptoms. Death can occur from cardiac and respiratory failure. Acute doses around 0.8 grams can be fatal to humans.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh good - and this is in these trails being dispersed in our skies regularly? Read more about the &lt;a href="http://www.healthfreedom.info/Chemtrails%20Barium%20Toxicity.htm"&gt;Barium toxicity in chemtrails here&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, Aluminium. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Nervous System - in animal studies, aluminum blocks the action potential or ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE OF NERVE CELLS, REDUCING NERVOUS SYSTEM ACTIVITY.  Aluminum also inhibits important enzymes in the brain (Na-K-ATPase and hexokinase). &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But hey, I'm just paranoid. Those subliminal trails in the kiddies movies are just a coincidence! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Theories are emerging that the metals in these trails also attract and hold the molecules of diseases up in the atmosphere and the heat of the sun allows bacteria to prosper on them. They then float down to our repository system. Lovely! And whose there selling drugs to cure all your new illnesses...big pharma...yeah! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some more information recently came this way regarding Chemtrails and it is worth reading through &lt;a href="http://members.iimetro.com.au/~hubbca/chemtrails.htm"&gt;this page of articles&lt;/a&gt; for more details on the agenda, history, and health implications of this outrageous scenario. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Operation Cloverleaf is the alleged name of this military operation: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;We can trace the beginnings of Operation Cloverleaf right to the Strangelove brain of Dr. Edward Teller, father of the hydrogen bomb and proponent of nuking inhabited coast lines to rearrange them for economic projects. Before he died in 2003, Teller was director emeritus of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, where plans for nuclear, biological and directed energy weapons are crafted. In 1997, Teller publicly outlined his proposal to use aircraft to scatter in the stratosphere millions of tons of electrically-conductive metallic materials, ostensibly to reduce global warming.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Shortly after Teller's presentation, the public began seeing frenetic chemtrailing. In 2000, CBS News admitted that scientists were "looking at drastic solutions for global warming, including manipulating the atmosphere on a massive scale." CBS confirmed that the plan to load the air with tiny particles would "deflect enough sunlight to trigger global cooling."&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, I suggest you do your own research on the subject and come to your own conclusions, but here I have documented my case. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And don't forget your swine flu shot!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6735383821693864337-2216729300550593194?l=challengingyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/feeds/2216729300550593194/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/07/you-are-being-sprayed-with-chemicals.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/2216729300550593194'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/2216729300550593194'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/07/you-are-being-sprayed-with-chemicals.html' title='You Are Being Sprayed With Chemicals...'/><author><name>Jon Hoff</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15218703884601180050</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='14' src='http://ab.bebo.com/ab/large/2005030813/9831954a2664179b128288488l.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2465/3758065066_961495483f_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735383821693864337.post-1257108662779403765</id><published>2009-07-19T09:17:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-21T01:01:52.556-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bilderberg'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='nwo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Book Review'/><title type='text'>Book Review: The true story of the Bilderberg Group</title><content type='html'>&lt;center&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://justgetthere.us/blog/uploads/bilderberg_group_cover.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 250px; height: 378px;" src="http://justgetthere.us/blog/uploads/bilderberg_group_cover.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Daniel Estulin is the author of this cult book, acknowledged as the authority on the true influence of the secretive Bilderberg Group. Daniel's grandfather was a KGB agent whose contacts have helped him over his years of Bilderberg chasing. The book reads in parts like a spy novel as Estulin recounts real life encounters from the murky world of chasing the Bilderbergers around the world to their annual meetings, but in other parts reverts to the true agendas and circumstances behind the veil. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The book is divided into three parts. Part one deals with the Bilderberg Group, Part 2 deals with the Council on Foreign Relations and Part 3 deals with The Trilateral Commission, and the 'interlocking' nature of all three groups and how they are being used by the as vehicles towards their desired one world government. Documents, attendance lists and photographic evidence are also provided in the back of the book.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Chapter Seven, 'Watergate Con Game', Estulin describes how Nixon was set up for disagreeing with the real government, Rockefeller/Kissinger.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Once Kissinger was installed as National Security Advisor he, Ellsberg and Haig were then able to set in motion the RIIA's (Royal Institute for International Affairs) Watergate plan to oust president Nixon after he publicly declared he did not approve of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), a statement that infuriated David Rockefeller.....As Nixon's National Security Advisor, Kissinger and his staff received all intelligence, foreign and domestic, law enforcement information, including FBI top-clearance and most-secret information before any of it was released to Nixon....For Kissinger, it was the zenith of his career. Disgracing Nixon and drumming him out of office handed Kissinger unprecedented powers....With Nixon's resignation the Bilderbergers finally saw "their" president, Gerald Ford, move into the White House. The New World Order's yes man took direct orders from Henry Kissinger, an agent of David Rockefeller, a servant to the Bilderbergers. &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I suggest reading the book for the full story including the role of the RIAA and the Tavistock institute, who implemented their brainwashing techniques to confuse and manipulate Nixon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chapter Twenty, 'Packaging a President' shows the role of Rockefeller influence and the Trilateral Commission in first getting President Jimmy Carter elected and then dominating his administration after being picked by the elite establishment and then funded into the number one spot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;...immediately on entering the White House, he filled many of the administrative positions with CFR and Trilateralist insiders. An astounding 40% of the American Trilateral members joined the Carter Administration. In all, 291 members of either the CFR or TC formed part of the Carter presidency...&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The section on the CFR also provides extremely interesting information with regard to the CFR's role in shaping American foreign policy, it's relationship with the media, it's role in "psyops" (Psychological Operations) against the American public and also it's hand in the Marshall plan, the Bolsheviks and communism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Chapter Fourteen, CFR and Psycho-Political Operations, the author writes:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;As Ken Adachi has noted, "What most Americans believe to be 'Public Opinion' is in reality carefully crafted and scripted propaganda designed to elicit a desired behavioural response from the public." ...Implementation of the insidious propaganda is executed in the United States by well over 200 "think tanks" such as the RAND corporation, Planning Research Corporation, Hudson Institute, International Institute for Applied Behavioural Sciences, Heritage Foundation and the Brookings Institution...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...As John Coleman in 'Conspirators Hierarchy' writes, "Today, the Tavistock Institute operates a $6 billion a year network of Foundation in the US, all of it funded by US taxpayers' money. Ten major institutions are under its direct control, with 400 subsidiaries, and 3000 other study groups and think tanks that originate many types of programs to increase control over the American People. The Stanford Research Institute, adjoining the Hoover Institute, is a $150 million a year operation with 3,300 employees. It carries on program surveillance for Bechtel, Kaiser, and 400 other companies, and extensive intelligence operations for the CIA....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Rockefeller-funded RAND Institute and the Rockefeller-financed Tavistock Institute in England investigate the "dynamics of evolution"; that is the logic behind why people of various backgrounds, interests, loyalties, and information levels hold certain opinions. The Establishment elitists refer to it as "the engineering of consent". As Coleman makes absolutely clear in his book: "Tavistock and like-minded American foundations have a single goal in mind - to break down the psychological strength of the individual and render him helpless to oppose the dictators of the World Order." &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Chapter Eleven, Journalistic Courtesans, we learn of the 'interlocking' nature of the media natures in the US and indeed globally.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;NBC is a subsidiary of RCA, a media conglomerate. On RCA's board sits Thornton Bradshaw, president of Atlantic Richfield Oil, and member of the World Wildlife Fund, the Club of Rome, the Apen Institute for Humanistic Studies and the CFR. Bradshaw is also chairman of NBC.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Among the NBC directors named...were John Brademas (CFR, TC, Bilderberg), a director of the Rockefeller Foundation; Peter G. Peterson (CFR), a former head of Kuhn, Loeb &amp;amp; Co (Rothschild), and a former U.S Secretary of Commerce; Robert Cizik, chairman of RCA and of First City Bancorp, which was identified in Congressional Testimony as a Rothschild bank; Thomas O Paine, president of NOrthrup Co. (the big defense contractor) and director of the Institute of Strategic Studies in London; Donald Smiley, a director of two Morgan Companies, Metropolitan Life and U.S Steel; and the above mentioned Thorton Bradshaw...clearly the NBC board is considerably influenced by the Rockefeller-Rothschild-Morgan troika, leading exponents of the New World Order intiative.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ABC is owned by Disney corporation...it has 153 TV stations. Chase Manhatten Bank controls 6.7% of ABC's stock - enough to give it a controlling interest. chase, through it's trust department, controls 14% of CBS and 4.5% of RCA. &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Estulin goes on to deal with the board of ABC and CBS (owned by Viacom). We all know who owns FOX, and yes, he is a Bilderberger.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For anyone who doesn't believe, understand, or know of the influence of the Bilderberg group and its cousins the CFR and the Trilateral Commission, this is an excellent starting point.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6735383821693864337-1257108662779403765?l=challengingyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/feeds/1257108662779403765/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/07/book-review-true-story-of-bilderberg.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/1257108662779403765'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/1257108662779403765'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/07/book-review-true-story-of-bilderberg.html' title='Book Review: The true story of the Bilderberg Group'/><author><name>Jon Hoff</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15218703884601180050</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='14' src='http://ab.bebo.com/ab/large/2005030813/9831954a2664179b128288488l.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735383821693864337.post-4480110434842100344</id><published>2009-07-13T03:33:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-13T08:10:27.466-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Obama's biggest radical: John Holdren</title><content type='html'>When Barack Obama nominated John P. Holdren as his Science Adviser last December 20, the president-elect &lt;a href="http://change.gov/newsroom/entry/the_search_for_knowledge_truth_and_a_greater_understanding_of_the_world_aro" style="color: rgb(128, 0, 0); text-decoration: none; "&gt;stated&lt;/a&gt; "promoting science isn’t just about providing resources" but "ensuring that facts and evidence are never twisted or obscured by politics or ideology." In nominating John Holdren, his words could scarcely have taken a more Orwellian ring.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some critics have noted Holdren's penchant for making apocalyptic predictions that never come to pass, and categorizing all criticism of his alarmist views as not only wrong but dangerous. What none has yet noted is that Holdren is a globalist who has endorsed "surrender of sovereignty" to "a comprehensive Planetary Regime" that would control all the world's resources, direct global redistribution of wealth, oversee the "de-development" of the West, control a World Army and taxation regime, and enforce world population limits. He has castigated the United States as "the meanest of wealthy countries," written a justification of compulsory abortion for American women, advocated drastically lowering the U.S. standard of living, and left the door open to trying global warming "deniers" for crimes against humanity. Such is Barack Obama's idea of a clear-headed adviser on matters of scientific policy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.frontpagemag.com/readArticle.aspx?ARTID=34198"&gt;Read the whole article...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;object width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/XGOmlZGqfbg&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/XGOmlZGqfbg&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6735383821693864337-4480110434842100344?l=challengingyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/feeds/4480110434842100344/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/07/obamas-biggest-radical-john-holdren.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/4480110434842100344'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/4480110434842100344'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/07/obamas-biggest-radical-john-holdren.html' title='Obama&apos;s biggest radical: John Holdren'/><author><name>Jon Hoff</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15218703884601180050</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='14' src='http://ab.bebo.com/ab/large/2005030813/9831954a2664179b128288488l.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735383821693864337.post-2065182784601530852</id><published>2009-07-11T21:29:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-11T22:00:29.597-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='nwo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Book Review'/><title type='text'>Book Review: None Dare Call It Conspiracy</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.lust-for-life.org/Lust-For-Life/NoneDareCallItConspiracy/none-dare_files/nonedare-199ae4c4.jfif"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 400px;" src="http://www.lust-for-life.org/Lust-For-Life/NoneDareCallItConspiracy/none-dare_files/nonedare-199ae4c4.jfif" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Author Gary Allen's most famous book is undoubtedly this one, None Dare Call It Conspiracy. A short and compact yet damming revelation of the powers that be and the way they operate. The book exposes the fact that Marx, Lenin and future Soviet regimes (i.e communism) was in fact funded and aided by rich international bankers (shock) thus exposing the total fallacy of the academic version of the political spectrum (left/right). The doctrine of socialism, as the author points out, is fundamentally flawed as it still leads to a system of total dominance by a tiny elite, indeed that's the whole point - the workers paradise being a façade to con the people out of their property and wealth - just as western 'democracy' pertains to give us the illusion of freedom. It is this creeping socialism (fabianism) that is the goal of those behind the push for a one world government, and we see this fabian implemntation happening in western states across the world right now. This book, considering it was written nearly 35 years ago, is a brilliant wake up call for someone looking to a short and shocking introdcution to an alternative view of 20th century history.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also enjoy authors who articulate the difficulty of the masses to understand they have been conned throughout their lives, intelligent, well educated, it doesn't matter. Allen sums this predicament up very well in the opening chapter, 'Don't confuse me with facts'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Those who believe that major world events result from planning are laughed at for believing in the "conspiracy theory of history". Of course, no-one in this modern day and age really belives in the conspiracy theory of history - except those who have taken the time to study the subject. When you think about, there are really only two theories of history. Either things happen by accident neither planned nor caused by anybody, or they happen because they &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;are&lt;/span&gt; planned and somebody caused them to happen. In reality it is the "accidental theory of history" preached in the unhallowed Halls of Ivy which should be ridiculed. Otherwise, why does every recent administration make the same mistakes as the previous one.....If you believe it is all an accident or the result of the mysterious and unexplainable tides of history, you will be regarded as an "intellectual" who understands that we live in a complex world. If you believe that something like 32,496 consecutive coincidences over the past forty years stretches the law of averages a bit, you are a kook!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why is it that virtually all "reputable" scholars and mass media columnists and commentators reject the cause and effect or conspirational view of history? Primarily, most scholars follow the crowd in the academic world just as women follow fashions. To buck the tide means social and professional ostracism. The same is true of the mass media.....Secondly, these people have over the years acquired a strong vested emotional interest in their own errors. Their intellects and egos are totally committed to the accidental theory. Most people are highly reluctant to admit that they have been conned or have shown poor judgement. To inspect the evidence of the existence of a conspiracy guiding out political destiny from behind the scenes would force many of these people to repudiate a lifetime of accumulated opinions. It takes a person of strong character indeed to face the facts and admit he has been wrong even if it was because he was uninformed&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;It is well worth reading this book as an intro to the names and faces behind the great events and illusions of the 20th century. Studying REAL history is essential to understanding what is happening in the world today.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6735383821693864337-2065182784601530852?l=challengingyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/feeds/2065182784601530852/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/07/book-review-none-dare-call-it.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/2065182784601530852'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/2065182784601530852'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/07/book-review-none-dare-call-it.html' title='Book Review: None Dare Call It Conspiracy'/><author><name>Jon Hoff</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15218703884601180050</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='14' src='http://ab.bebo.com/ab/large/2005030813/9831954a2664179b128288488l.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735383821693864337.post-4062547999064217465</id><published>2009-07-03T21:55:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-04T23:42:22.876-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Waxman-Markey and Environmental Terrorism</title><content type='html'>WOW. &lt;br /&gt;They actually did it. The 1,200 page Waxman-Markey bill passed about a week ago 219-212. This bill may become more infamous than the Patriot Act. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To understand more about the part of environmentalism in the creation of a 'new world order' I strongly suggest listening to Alan Watt's most recent interview with Alex Jones which you can find &lt;a href="http://www.informationliberation.com/?id=26921"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;object width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/X6ebDW4-fls&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/X6ebDW4-fls&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This bill and the surrounding political initiative to regulate and tax people's carbon emissions could be extended to anything - food, power, water. That's the whole point.  The well planned fraud (man-made Global Warming) is used to scare the people into submission before controlling them completely along with being an excellent addition to the eugenics and population reduction agenda that is a cornerstone of elite ideology. Climatologists the world over are literally screaming the fraud of man-made global warming from the rooftops but are subjected to media criticism, ignored, or called names - the old classic. When Al Gore was questioned recently regarding the 31,000 climatologists who have signed &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oregon_Petition"&gt;the Oregon petition&lt;/a&gt; he said 'they must also believe man didn't land on the moon, they must be conspiracy theorists' (not a direct quote). All 31,000 of them Al? What a slick con-man this guy is - cause if you believe anything out of his Malthusian oiled gob, you've been had. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now we have a dual reality that you must choose, which do you reside in? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Reality 1&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Al Gore doesn't realize the fundamental scientific errors in his film and has mistakenly taken up the cause because of his kind-hearted nature. Congress passed Waxman-Markey because just over 50% honestly believe that the bill is necessary in order to begin a cap and trade system with carbon credits and to curtail carbon emissions by 80%. They haven't read the bill because they trust the people who wrote it. In this reality Congress is still operating in its constitutional capacity, full of elected representatives who vote for what they believe is best for the people. Man-made global warming is real. The world is a tough place to live these days but we all have to make sacrifices when our leaders ask us too, we trust them. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reality 2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You've been presented with information - videos, links, books - that opened your eyes to an incredible deceit perpetrated by a ruling elite who have a shadow government pulling the strings of nation states across the world either directly or indirectly. Your research leads you to The Club of Rome and its first book, 'Limits to Growth'. You are astonished by the open calls for a way to restrict growth and indeed decrease population using a suitable scare tactic. You start to research the history of Al Gore and Maurice Strong. You can't believe it! Both with a history of involvement, books and speeches, in favour of population control measures. When you find out the Al Gore owns a carbon credit trading company, your suspicions grow! Eventually you come to realize that man-made global warming has been a carefully crafted fabrication designed to terrify and guilt-trip people into giving up their rights. It fits into the agenda for a new kind of world society, a high-tech control grid where every facet of your life is micromanaged by a tiny minority at the top and with the ultimate goal of depopulating the earth (new world order). As a tool for achieving the new world order, man-made global warming ticks all the boxes. It  will limit growth and lead to further economic destruction. The new bill aids the control aspect of the grid, with government legally able to dictate aspects of your life to you with the justification of CO2 emissions. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Congress passed the bill because it is obviously corrupt and is trampling on the Constitution. Congressmen and Senators are bullied, coerced, bribed and scared into passing the bill for the criminal elite who write it and benefit from it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Which reality are you? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm number 2 by the way. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Alan Watt said in his interview, Baron Rothschild once spoke alongside Maurice strong advocating a new UN bank (i.e his bank) to handle global carbon credit taxation. This is the new feudalism. Us, the peasants, believe the sun will fall out of the sky and we will die a fiery death if we don't pay our taxes, the masters at the top sit and laugh at our pathetic ignorance as their coffers swell ever more grossly. What kind of dictatorship has the human race gotten itself into?! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Further resources on the immediate issue of the WM bill were found at informationliberation.com which covered the story well. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.informationliberation.com/?id=26874"&gt;New World Order Rams Through New Sham Cap And Trade Bill&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.informationliberation.com/?id=26862"&gt;House Passes Nightmare 'Cap and Tax' Bill&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bob Chapman also discusses the bill on his site &lt;a href="http://theinternationalforecaster.com/International_Forecaster_Weekly/Economy_In_Turmoil_Cant_Be_Fixed_With_Farcical_Regulation"&gt;The International Forecaster&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you want to get started researching environmental terrorism and the NWO for yourself, read my post &lt;a href="http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/02/convenient-and-scary-lie.html"&gt;A Convenient And Scary Lie&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

For the purposes of this post I will simply provide the letter you need, as provided by Chris, to send to your accounts department, HM Customs and whoever else needs to see it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jonhoff/3661699955/" title="img087 by jonhoff, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3411/3661699955_602c06ded2.jpg" width="309" height="500" alt="img087" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Larger version &lt;a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3411/3661699955_602c06ded2_b.jpg"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jonhoff/3661700675/" title="img088 by jonhoff, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3580/3661700675_560fcd5bf4.jpg" width="322" height="500" alt="img088" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Larger version &lt;a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3580/3661700675_560fcd5bf4_b.jpg"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6735383821693864337-3909073959586681540?l=challengingyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/feeds/3909073959586681540/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/06/withold-taxes-from-criminal-state.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/3909073959586681540'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/3909073959586681540'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/06/withold-taxes-from-criminal-state.html' title='Withold taxes from a criminal state'/><author><name>Jon Hoff</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15218703884601180050</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='14' src='http://ab.bebo.com/ab/large/2005030813/9831954a2664179b128288488l.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3411/3661699955_602c06ded2_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735383821693864337.post-5994460150924255527</id><published>2009-06-10T09:22:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-12T09:08:49.021-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Book Review'/><title type='text'>Book Review: Remotely Controlled - How Television Is Damaging Our Lives.</title><content type='html'>&lt;center&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41gWJoF8bML._SL500_AA240_.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 240px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41gWJoF8bML._SL500_AA240_.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Television plays a massive role in shaping our society and is the cause of cultural and social change, it affects brain chemistry especially in children. This book takes us through piece by piece the various effects that exposure to television has. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sudden rise in ADHD can be attributed to children having their attentional abilities not develop properly due to being distracted by a TV. When they would have been listening to a conversation or exploring the real world they were sat semi-hypnotized in front of an array of light and colour. It's not rocket science really is it? The educational benefit of any 'kids' TV is non-existent for under threes who couldn't make head nor tale of what's going on on that screen. The author recommends absolutely NO exposure to TV to under threes - and if you think about, it is totally pointless. Yes, parents succumb to the pressures of modern life and use the TV to keep Junior distracted for a few minutes, but ultimately only the parent can decide just how much responsibility they will have in the development of their child. (We mentioned concious parenting in the review of &lt;a href="http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/05/book-review-biology-of-belief.html"&gt;Bruce Lipton's book Biology of Belief&lt;/a&gt;). Now that we know that genes play a minor role and environment a major role in our physical and mental development there are surely no excuses. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For older children TV is comprised of exciting cartoons and action movies, lots of highs and plenty of excitement. This causes the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with feelings of pleasure and excitement. This is how the drama of a soap opera or the thrill of a game show becomes addictive. It is also unrealistic as everyday life is NOT full of these constant excitements, and the problems this may lead to should be self explanatory. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The author outlines the obvious fact that TV companies aren't exactly going to broadcast public health warnings regarding TV on TV...not a great business model. However, he feels the health risks are MORE severe than second hand smoking. Would you let your child be over exposed to second hand smoke? No? Then why TV? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr Sigman also points out the effects on the adult brain of too much television. Television transfers the activity between your brain's hemispheres, changing from the logical left brain to the random and subjective right brain. It also dampens the operation of the frontal lobe, the controller of brain activity. Let me give an example : you tell someone that man made global warming is a political scam. They give you a right brain retort: irrational, not based on facts or logic and superficial (it's what they &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;think&lt;/span&gt; they believe but isn't based on their research, rather someone else's opinions from a mainstream media source). Your argument is left brain based on logic and facts, but you can't seem to get anywhere. Has this person spent too much time in front of the TV operating in a semi-hypnotic right brain state and lost the ability to process information in a rational way? It is no shock to see a link between too much TV and alzheimer's. Use the brain in a way that keeps those synapses firing or allow it it turn into a sponge. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr Sigman also covers societal change in the book. He gives examples of far flung cultures who received TV and suddenly started wearing baseball caps and attempting to break dance even though they had never left their dusty village. Behaviour is learnt from TV, of that there is no doubt. Soap operas in Britain portray arguments being solved by shouting and fighting and generally people are rude. Sigman also points out other interesting aspects of British culture that have been changed by the idiot box such as the the way single parent families are portrayed, the inclusion of 'token' ethnic minorities and the lack of Chinese/Indian characters compared to the percentage of the population and the number of black actors compared the their percentage of the population. This again leads to a skewed sense of what is real. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All this research is neatly collated within Dr Aric Sigman's book and easy to read in short sharp chunks. It is all of course additional to the fact that as we know, TV is the elite's biggest weapon of the 20th century and continuing today, providing manufactured news and creating flase reality for the vast majority of the unquestioning half hypnotised public.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6735383821693864337-5994460150924255527?l=challengingyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/feeds/5994460150924255527/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/06/book-review-remotely-controlled-how.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/5994460150924255527'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/5994460150924255527'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/06/book-review-remotely-controlled-how.html' title='Book Review: Remotely Controlled - How Television Is Damaging Our Lives.'/><author><name>Jon Hoff</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15218703884601180050</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='14' src='http://ab.bebo.com/ab/large/2005030813/9831954a2664179b128288488l.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735383821693864337.post-6661638651492452384</id><published>2009-06-06T22:12:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-08T12:11:06.023-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='israel'/><title type='text'>The kind of reporting that SHOULD be on the BBC...</title><content type='html'>Australian journalist John Pilger certainly isn't afraid to tackle real issues and isn't a journalist with an editorial duty.

This was the second AV conference and in its own words its purpose is 'to advance awareness and facilitate discussion of Political, Scientific and Spiritual alternatives without constraint by Consensus Reality and/or Received Wisdom'. Consensus reality is a term I must use more often...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The line up included &lt;a href="http://www.tetrahedron.org/"&gt;Dr Len Horowitz&lt;/a&gt; as the keynote speaker. We managed to catch his Saturday night presentation entitled 'The LOVE CODE: Musical Healing Celebration' all about the relationship between maths, water, music, frequencies and our bodies and our health. I've mentioned Len on this blog many times before. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also &lt;a href="http://www.avll.co.uk/viewpage.php?page_id=51"&gt;on the list &lt;/a&gt;was Dr Susan Barcodz PhD who spoke in great detail about the dangers of GM foods and the importance of what we put into our bodies. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tony Gosling (the man behind bilderberg.org amongst others) spoke on the nature of the media in Britain and the history of the politics of the BBC. He seemed to think that it was a battleground where glimmers of real investigative journalism can still be found, but mostly where frustrated journalists know that certain areas are career suicide. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Scott Tips is the only man allowed to represent a natural health organisation (the &lt;a href="http://www.thenhf.com/index.html"&gt;National Health Federation&lt;/a&gt;) at Codex committee meetings. If you don't know what Codex Alimentarius is I suggest you do some research! He gave an insight into what it is like fighting this insidious 'food code' which is being implemented globally out of the public eye. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brian Gerrish then spoke on Sunday morning and was one of the highlights. The people of the UK know that something is amiss but can't quite put their finger on it. Brian helps people to understand the exact root cause of the decay in our society, and shows how serious, and we mean serious, the problems we face are. THIS IS NOT YOUR RUN OF THE MILL POLITICS, THIS IS A BATTLE AGAINST THE INTENTIONAL SUBVERSION OF OUR SOCIETY FOR MANY YEARS AND TREASON BY AN ELITE SET OF POLITICIANS CURRENTLY IN CONTROL OF OUR COUNTRY AND ALL WORKING TOWARDS THE SAME GOAL - THAT IS THE COMING EU POLICE STATE. Brian is the driving force behind the &lt;a href="https://www.thebcgroup.org.uk/"&gt;British Constitution Group&lt;/a&gt; (conference coming up on June 13th, Kings Cross, London) and their campaign for '1 million rebellious Brits'. Brian is an ex-naval officer, and when you hear some of the things he has to say, it is is deeply disturbing. Brian and his team have also started the &lt;a href="http://www.ukcolumn.org/"&gt;UK Column&lt;/a&gt;, the ONLY newspaper in Britain that is independent enough to tell the truth. Brian is also &lt;a href="http://cpexposed.com/"&gt;exposing Common Purpose&lt;/a&gt; in its role as preparing (or brainwashing) 'future leaders' for the coming European Union police state. Brian showed at the conference how neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) is being used in their videos and therefore most probably in their training. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I strongly suggest watching some of Brian's talks and interviews online if this is all new information. Here's the first part of Brian's presentation 'The State of the Nation' from the British Constitution Group's first conference. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;object width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/58Pvs-pgbic&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/58Pvs-pgbic&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6735383821693864337-1262850270000304144?l=challengingyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/feeds/1262850270000304144/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/06/alternative-view-conference.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/1262850270000304144'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/1262850270000304144'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/06/alternative-view-conference.html' title='AVII - Brain Gerrish and the subversion of British society'/><author><name>Jon Hoff</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15218703884601180050</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='14' src='http://ab.bebo.com/ab/large/2005030813/9831954a2664179b128288488l.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735383821693864337.post-537934024513380253</id><published>2009-05-21T13:22:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-21T13:43:13.092-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Book Review'/><title type='text'>Book Review: The Biology of Belief</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.infiniteunknown.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/bruce-lipton-biology-of-belief.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px; height: 500px;" src="http://www.infiniteunknown.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/bruce-lipton-biology-of-belief.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bruce Lipton is a scientist who started off in 'mainstream' cell research and was bought up on a diet of Newtonian Darwinism, where the world is made up of genetically pre-destined material creatures. After a Eureka moment however he was transformed into a spiritually inclined scientist who believes in the power of energy and positive thinking to effect our health and our destiny. Bruce takes us through this journey in his book. The 'New Biology' as it is called shows us that we are not predetermined by our genes but by our environments. Despite the byline of the book being 'Unleashing the Power of Conciousness, Matter &amp; Miracles', this is not some new age hypothesis. Bruce goes deep into the cells anatomy and actually shows how our positive thinking effects our biology at the cellular level.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the chapter 'Growth and Protection' Bruce looks at the chemical reactions in the body and their effects on our cells. If we are not growing, we are in a state of protection, the fight or flight mode, ready for danger. Societies are constantly kept in a state of fear - be it terrorism or the latest pandemic - possibly those at the very top are very aware of our true nature and use it against us. In the chapter 'Conscious Parenting' Bruce encourages all to be aware that any messages we send our young children are downloaded into their subconscious minds and become truths. A child reared in a loving nurturing environment will develop into a healthy and well rounded human being. Bruce even cites studies that show I.Q is linked to the environment of the foetus in the womb. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is one thing to have an opinion on spirituality and the power of the mind, it is another to refute the scientific evidence that it is this way. Some may read this book and find it life affirming or inspiring. For others it may be water off a ducks back. Personally I do like to have the wonderfully intuitive theory of self-healing backed up by a little cell biology...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6735383821693864337-537934024513380253?l=challengingyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/feeds/537934024513380253/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/05/book-review-biology-of-belief.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/537934024513380253'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/537934024513380253'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/05/book-review-biology-of-belief.html' title='Book Review: The Biology of Belief'/><author><name>Jon Hoff</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15218703884601180050</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='14' src='http://ab.bebo.com/ab/large/2005030813/9831954a2664179b128288488l.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735383821693864337.post-79369234770996928</id><published>2009-05-16T12:50:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-16T13:13:54.420-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Book Review'/><title type='text'>Book Review: Political Ponerology</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://redpillpress.com/retail/images/ponerology_ds.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 350px; height: 500px;" src="http://redpillpress.com/retail/images/ponerology_ds.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A modern classic of psychology and a must have on every intellectuals bookshelf, &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;ponerology &lt;/span&gt; is defined by the author as 'A science on the nature of evil adjusted for political purposes'. Infamously this book has been suppressed for fifty years before finally being pieced together from memory by the last remaining researcher involved in the original project in Poland, author Andrew Lobaczewski. Most recently, Zbigniew Brezezinski blocked the books publication in 1984. Why would someone like ZB not want this book released? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the back cover: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Politcal Ponerology is a study of the founders and supporters of oppressive political regimes. Lobaczewski's approach analyzes the common factors that lead to the propagation of man's inhumanity to man. Morality and humanism cannot long withstand the predations of this evil. Knowledge of its nature - and its insidious effect on both individuals and groups - is the only antidote. &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other words, this books manages to explain the actual pathological drives and makeup of our leaders, explaining how they gravitate towards politics, how they are attracted to power and how they can lie to entire populations so convincingly. This shows why Brezezinski and other elites of global strategy wanted the book banned, it is exactly this kind of knowledge that they use to manipulate and recruit their puppets that pretend to lead us (Bush, Blair, Obama and on and on). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the book: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Subordinating a normal person to psychologically abnormal individuals has severe and deforming effects on his or her personality: it engenders trauma and neurosis. This is accomplished in a manner which generally evades conscious controls. Such a situation deprives the person of his natural rights: to practice his own mental hygiene, develop a sufficiently autonomous personality, and utilize his common sense. In light of natural law, it thus constitutes a kind of crime - which can appear at any social scale, in any context - although it is not mentioned in any code of law.&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This book helped me to understand that entire societies can suffer debilitating mental illnesses due to the 'abnormal personalities' placed in front of them as leaders. If you've ever been in a situation where you feel like &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;you&lt;/span&gt; are the only sane person amongst a nation of insane people, this book may well be reaffirming. Indeed I see the same patterns in society in England today that the author describes as occurring in communist Poland and Russia - people who use 'paralogical' arguments that have no basis in common sense, reason or truth but are instead derived from a mentally ill society and its leaders / media. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is not a book to be taken lightly and I doubt any who attempt it will be disappointed.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6735383821693864337-79369234770996928?l=challengingyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/feeds/79369234770996928/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/05/book-review-political-ponerology.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/79369234770996928'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/79369234770996928'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/05/book-review-political-ponerology.html' title='Book Review: Political Ponerology'/><author><name>Jon Hoff</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15218703884601180050</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='14' src='http://ab.bebo.com/ab/large/2005030813/9831954a2664179b128288488l.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735383821693864337.post-1949951896295845570</id><published>2009-05-04T03:38:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-04T03:39:34.768-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='nwo'/><title type='text'>Using Shock to Control Society...</title><content type='html'>&lt;center&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/xzCP6JFjRhY&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/xzCP6JFjRhY&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6735383821693864337-1949951896295845570?l=challengingyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/feeds/1949951896295845570/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/05/using-shock-to-control-society.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/1949951896295845570'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/1949951896295845570'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/05/using-shock-to-control-society.html' title='Using Shock to Control Society...'/><author><name>Jon Hoff</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15218703884601180050</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='14' src='http://ab.bebo.com/ab/large/2005030813/9831954a2664179b128288488l.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735383821693864337.post-4388180262217235329</id><published>2009-05-03T02:50:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-03T03:05:37.994-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='birdflu'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='swineflu'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='nwo'/><title type='text'>Who's making money from swineflu?</title><content type='html'>Len Horowitz discusses his inside knowledge.

It affects us on levels most people don't understand. Not only does it affect society, but it affects the human body on a fundamental level. Cellular biologist &lt;a href="http://www.brucelipton.com/"&gt;Bruce Lipton &lt;/a&gt;is famed for his research and he established long ago that cells develop according to their &lt;em&gt;environments. &lt;/em&gt;Therefore, a climate of constant fear creates certian biological reactions (fight or flight) leaving us constantly on edge and our cells unable to develop naturally as they would in a world of peace, sharing and a true and profound understanding of human nature. God forbid the human race ever understood that or several multi-billion dollar industries including the pharma cartel and the military-industrial complex would collapse. So the next time you here some industrial leader, politican or WHO official spouting off in the media, think about it a bit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It seems to me that the MSM (mainstream media) is becoming a paradox to the point of being a farce. The gulf between reality (facts) and the trumped up corporate-elitist propaganda that serves the agenda of a tiny group of the world's most powerful people (faithfully represented by the MSM) is widening. This will lead to honest people needing to make a decision - who is telling the truth?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How is it that on the same day I can read in the Murdoch mouthpiece &lt;a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/"&gt;The Times &lt;/a&gt;a headline like &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/article6194859.ece"&gt;'Swine flu: pandemic alert level raised amid warning of 'imminent' emergency'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, and then read an opinion piece in The Gaurdian entitled &lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/apr/29/swine-flu-mexico-uk-media1"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;'Swine flu? A panic stoked in order to posture and spend - Despite the hysteria, the risk to Britons' health is tiny - but that news won't sell papers or drugs, or justify the WHO's budget'&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;. &lt;/strong&gt;Finally, a MSM piece that I can agree with!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Global warming is the same:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This week I hear pathological liar Al Gore spouting the most ridiculous crap so far:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"The principal problem is carbon dioxide, but a new understanding is emerging of soot," said Gore. "Black carbon is settling in the Himalayas. The air pollution levels in&lt;br /&gt;the upper Himalayas are now similar to those in Los Angeles."&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Black carbon - something else to be scared of. It's from this article, &lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2009/apr/28/black-carbon-emissions"&gt;Al Gore calls on world to burn less wood and fuel to curb 'black carbon' .&lt;/a&gt; Then I read in the Aussie news an article called &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/Global%20warming%20alarmists%20out%20in%20cold"&gt;Global warming alarmists out in cold &lt;/a&gt;, one of many that vehmently attacks the theories - the fear generating propaganda associated with climate change.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These paradoxes within the mainstream media prove that they are only reporting what they are told to report, save for the odd opinion piece that may have some sensible notion to it. Investigative journalism, real journalism, is dead in the mainstream media.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thankfully we have the Internet and the independent media, where people interested in the truth can flock and share their work. A WHO official has declared only &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://willyloman.wordpress.com/2009/04/29/only-7-swine-flu-deaths-not-152-says-who/"&gt;seven&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; people to have died from the Swine. All I am saying is, be careful what reality you create for yourself, it affects you on many levels including your health!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Look at the power of information - the power to cause a global panic. Look at who's controlling this information. Look at &lt;em&gt;your&lt;/em&gt; sources of information. Most importantly, use your brain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most people don't know, they think they know. They know what they've been told. And that's all they know. If Al Gore or Tony Blair told you something, would you believe it? If Al Gore told you to stop burning wood, would you? Learn about the men and you see what revolting charlatans they all are, and what a sham they have created as a world view throughout the world.

This 'new' theory of physics was in fact published in 1991. It proposes that the entire universe is in fact a holographic projection of a wave vibrations and frequencies. The Chapter titles alone should have you salivating; 1) The Brain as a Hologram, 2) The Cosmos as a Hologram, 3) The Holographic Model and Psychology, 4) I Sing the Body Holographic, 5) A Pocket Full of Miracles, 6) Seeing &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Holographically&lt;/span&gt;, 7) Time Out of Mind, 8) Travelling in the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Superhologram&lt;/span&gt; and 9) Return to &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Dreamtime&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The book discusses many many unexplainable events that human minds have been evidenced to be capable of - psychic powers, the ability to see into the future or the past, self-healing and healing (miracles), stigmata and other religious &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;phenomena&lt;/span&gt;, multiple personalities and their incredible nuances, remote viewing, the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;significance&lt;/span&gt; of dreams, out-of-body experiences and near-death-experiences, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;poltergeists&lt;/span&gt;, psychokinetic abilities, auruas and energy fields - can all be explained by the holographic model of reality. The sprinkling of quantum physcis throughout  is just enough for us to get a grasp on how this model could work. For those new to the subject or considering the nature of reality for the first time, this book is the definition of a mind bender. Some of the more extraordinary recorded events by gifted psychic individuals across the world are staggering, and they include mass psychic events heavily documented. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Explaining all this with a mainstream scientific model leads to the usual problem. If our 'consensus' science can't explain it, then it is unexplainable. Physics would rather say that then admit it can't account for the entirely different set of rules at the quantum level and their implications on our understanding of the nature of reality - one which the author dismisses in light of his evidence as a childish, primative understanding. As is discussed, we are taught at school that things are made of atoms and that's what makes things solid. The reality, the scientifc fact, is that this just isn't the case.  Quantum physics provides reasonable evidence that particles do not even exist unless they are observed, meaning conciousness creates matter. Why wasn't this mentioned at school, as well as other bizarre notions such as &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-local"&gt;non-locality&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Also especially interesting is the chapter on health and the nature of reality, and its implications on our body's abililty. As our conciousness is closed to the idea that we can heal ourselves we clearly don't. Some still manage to defy the odds however through their belief. An example in the book has a man who had degenerative bone cancer in his hip and given 18 months to live. The man, from Italy, took a bath in a 'holy spring' that he had total faith would cure him. His bone completly regenerated itself to the astonishment of his doctors. The chapter discusses the placebo effect as well, and it's evidence enough of the power of the mind over our health. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;In a study of a tranquilizer called mephenesin, researchers found that 10 to 20 percent of the test subjects experienced negative side effects-including nausea, itchy rash, and heart palpitations-regardless of whether they were given the actual drug or a placebo. Similarly in a recent study of a new kind of chemotheropy, 30 percent of the individuals in the control group, the group given placebos, lost their hair. &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;The evidence of the suppression of the knowledge of the nature of reality is evidenced in the book as well, as all the ancient cultures knew about all this long, long ago. We need to reeducate ourselves, and the true nature of our world is a massive part of the jigsaw. This book is a good starting point. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6735383821693864337-60358618723748483?l=challengingyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/feeds/60358618723748483/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/04/holographic-universe.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/60358618723748483'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/60358618723748483'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/04/holographic-universe.html' title='The Holographic Universe'/><author><name>Jon Hoff</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15218703884601180050</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='14' src='http://ab.bebo.com/ab/large/2005030813/9831954a2664179b128288488l.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735383821693864337.post-3590701786260836755</id><published>2009-04-26T07:35:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-26T08:03:20.908-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='videos'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='swineflu'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='health'/><title type='text'>Swine!</title><content type='html'>Bioweapons testing has commenced.

The highest or most comprehensive loss of status. This occurred when a man's condition was changed from one of freedom to one of bondage, when he became a slave. It swept away with it all rights of citizenship and all family rights. (Blacks Law Dictionary, Revised 4&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt; Edition 1968). &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So, hang on, this isn't good. Slavery? What does this mean? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Basically, the United Kingdom is bankrupt. So is America. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This is from the article '&lt;a href="http://www.serendipity.li/jsmill/us_corporation.htm"&gt;The United States isn't a country, it's a corporation&lt;/a&gt;'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div&gt;The date is February 21, 1871 and the Forty-First Congress is in session. I refer you to the "Acts of the Forty-First Congress," Section 34, Session III, chapters 61 and 62. On this date in the history of our nation, Congress passed an Act titled: "An Act To Provide A Government for the District of Columbia." This is also known as the "Act of 1871." What does this mean? Well, it means that Congress, under no constitutional authority to do so, created a separate form of government for the District of Columbia, which is a ten mile square parcel of land.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Congress realized our country was in dire financial straits, so they cut a deal with the international bankers — (in those days, the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Rothschilds&lt;/span&gt; of London were dipping their fingers into &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;everyone's&lt;/span&gt; pie) thereby incurring a DEBT to said bankers. If we think about banks, we know they do not just lend us money out of the goodness of their hearts. A bank will not do anything for you unless it is entirely in their best interest to do so. There has to be some sort of collateral or some string attached which puts you and me (the borrower) into a subservient position. This was true back in 1871 as well. The conniving international bankers were not about to lend our floundering nation any money without some serious stipulations. So, they devised a brilliant way of getting their foot in the door of the United States (a prize they had coveted for some time, but had been unable to grasp thanks to our Founding Fathers, who despised them and held them in check), and thus, the Act of 1871 was passed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In essence, this Act formed the corporation known as THE UNITED STATES. Note the capitalization, because it is important. This corporation, owned by foreign interests, moved right in and shoved the original "organic" version of the Constitution into a dusty corner. With the "Act of 1871," our Constitution was defaced in the sense that the title was block-capitalized and the word "for" was changed to the word "of" in the title. The original Constitution drafted by the Founding Fathers, was written in this manner:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The Constitution for the united states of America".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The altered version reads: "THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA". It is the corporate constitution. It is NOT the same document you might think it is. The corporate constitution operates in an economic capacity and has been used to fool the People into thinking it is the same parchment that governs the Republic. It absolutely is not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div&gt;Oh dear, that doesn't sound good. So hang on, the UNITED STATES is a corporation, as is CANADA, the UNITED KINGDOM and also (probably) all the other commonwealth nations. Remember, corporations are &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;owned&lt;/span&gt; by someone. Oh dear. Still not convinced? This video gives you plenty of starting points for your own research. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-0Itvml2mgQ&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-0Itvml2mgQ&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; So why is your name in capital letters as well? Is it because you are owned by someone? In a word, yes. That's why you can be thrown in jail (even if you may have been innocent), have your property confiscated or destroyed, or even your kids taken away (because they don't legally belong to you). &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;How did you become little more than &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;chattel&lt;/span&gt; property? We need to start with law. Two kinds of law must ye be aware of. The first is common law, the law of the land. This is the law that governs (or &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;governed&lt;/span&gt;) us humans, flesh and blood and born free on the land. It states that you shouldn't harm anyone or their property. If you do, you'll be tried in a court of &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;justice &lt;/span&gt;by a jury of your peers. Common law also of course &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;encompasses&lt;/span&gt; a lot of legal maxims passed down by civilizations such as 'all are equal to the law', &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;habeas&lt;/span&gt; corpus and 'innocent until proven guilty'. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We now come to the second type of law known as 'maritime' or 'admiralty' law, the law of the water, the law of commerce. This law is administered worldwide by the &lt;a href="http://www.law.cornell.edu/ucc/ucc.table.html"&gt;Uniform Commercial Code&lt;/a&gt;. It apparently comes from the &lt;a href="http://phoenicia.org/history.html"&gt;Phoenician Canaanites. &lt;/a&gt;This kind of law governs all commerce, in other words transactions that take place between corporations. The &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;UCC&lt;/span&gt; uses the law of contracts (very important). &lt;a href="http://www.jordanmaxwell.com/"&gt;Jordan Maxwell&lt;/a&gt; is one of the prime researchers and teachers in this area. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/jlOUXWQP-KM&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/jlOUXWQP-KM&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Now we know the difference between the two kinds of law. So as we know all corporations use capital letters only, and your name is in capital letters on certain documents. Does this mean you are a corporation? In a word, yes. The governments went bankrupt a long time ago and they had nothing to pay the bankers with (who owned them even then). They decided to use you and your lifelong labour as collateral. They incorporate you when you register a birth (or a berth, as in a ship - maritime law remember...) and create an account on your behalf represented by your national insurance number, social security number etc. Your certificate of registration is actually a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;transferal&lt;/span&gt; of ownership. That's right, anything you &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;register&lt;/span&gt; you no longer own including your children (car as well). You have legal title, but not legal ownership. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.federicopistono.org/files/img/debt.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 350px; height: 412px;" src="http://www.federicopistono.org/files/img/debt.gif" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Along with your incorporation comes your &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;strawman&lt;/span&gt;, legal fiction or PERSON (look up the legal definition of &lt;a href="http://dictionary.law.com/default2.asp?selected=1516&amp;amp;bold=||||"&gt;person&lt;/a&gt;...). This is your name in all capital letters, your &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13"&gt;strawman&lt;/span&gt;. This &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14"&gt;strawman&lt;/span&gt; is a slave, a surety to the national debt, and if you don't realise that it &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;is &lt;/span&gt;a corporation and not actually you, you'll spend your whole life a slave, being charged taxes, bills, registering things and generally begging for your rights to exist. This is not freedom. If you do realise it, you can step out of their system. They had to provide a remedy you see, otherwise it is fraud, and there is a remedy. They just didn't tell you. Once you understand the difference between true freedom and being a tricked into debt slavery by your friendly government, then you begin to see through the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15"&gt;fraudulent&lt;/span&gt; nature of the very fabric of society. For example, as John Harris explains in his presentations below, all 'laws' created in the UK (statutes) are in fact contracts. Think about what a contract is and what it requires. The definition of a statute is 'given the force of law by the consent of the governed'. That's right, it isn't law if you don't consent to it. You consent to it by being tricked into contracting. The cheeky buggers! &lt;a href="http://www.tpuc.org/former-councillor-chris-lees-asks-south-gloucestershire-council-about-its-corporate-status"&gt;You're paying your council tax to a private company&lt;/a&gt; and they don't even send you a real bill. The police, the government, the health service, the schools - they are all corporations. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;embed id="VideoPlayback" src="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docid=4024663011008894776&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=true" style="width:400px;height:326px" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt; &lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Further investigation leads to discoveries that we all have an unlimited amount of credit and literally don't need cash to operate.  Our signature is the thing that makes us creditors.This could make you a little angry when you realise that the bank created your entire mortgage based on your signature and can take your house if you fail to pay them with your labour for the next 30 years, with interest. Don't worry, you'll never own the house anyway, you are just the tenant (check the deeds). &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A legal and lawful method of payment (&lt;a href="http://www.opsi.gov.uk/RevisedStatutes/Acts/ukpga/1882/cukpga_18820061_en_1"&gt;Bills of Exchange Act 1882&lt;/a&gt;) is called 'Acceptance For Value' and entails simply writing across your &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16"&gt;statement&lt;/span&gt; from the credit card company (or any other bill) 'Accepted For Value' with some other details and sending it back to the company. Of course, they'll have no idea what you are talking about, but this is the remedy. Those at the very very top are perfectly aware that in a fiat currency system there is no value, only book keeping entries in an accrual accounting system. Theoretically, if everybody was operating in commerce as they should, you would go to a shop and only need to take the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17"&gt;receipt&lt;/span&gt; as everything is &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18"&gt;pre&lt;/span&gt;-paid already. In actuality, there is a process where you can claim back any money that you have transferred from the private (your labour) into the public (commerce). Tax for one. Mortgages another. Basically any money you've ever spent, if you have the evidence. In the US it is called 1099 &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19"&gt;oid&lt;/span&gt; (original issue discount). &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Operating in commerce as a &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;secured party creditor &lt;/span&gt;(in other words someone who has learnt how to handle their affairs) means you can do all this. The process is popularly known as &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;commercial redemption. &lt;/span&gt;Some have opted out of the commercial system &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20"&gt;altogether&lt;/span&gt; and become a &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;freeman-on-the-land&lt;/span&gt;. This involved sending a 'claim of right'. If you don't claim your rights you have none. Until then, you'll be treated like a child by the state.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I'd imagine a few readers may want to research further, so here's where to start. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;-Robert Arthur Menard has been a forerunner in the freeman movement and you can find his videos (start with &lt;a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7040453665540929835"&gt;Bursting Bubbles of Government Deception&lt;/a&gt;) at &lt;a href="http://www.thinkfree.ca/"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21"&gt;Thinkfree&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.

It is found in almost all of nature (plants, trees, animals etc) and in the human brain. It is made in the mystical pineal gland and it is one of the most powerful hallucinogenics known to man. This book, The Spirit Molecule, is the report of a set of clinical trials into DMT by injecting high doses of the drug into willing volunteers. It theorises that DMT is the connection between the physical world we construct in our brains and the 'spirit' world, or the dimensions that we can't percieve in normal everyday life. DMT is present when you dream, at birth and at death. Is there a link between these mystical states, life force, the energy that takes physical form and this intriguing molecule?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now if you are thinking LSD type trips, think again. DMT trips involve multi dimensional 'realer than reality' experiences where alien beings or spirit guides exist, where mind and body are truly separated, where people are convinced they have died. People returning from their experiences are no longer afraid of death as they know that consciousness continues. They experience knowledge of time, space and matter that can not be articulated, they become pure energy and awareness. It's best said by the volunteers themselves...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Several people had DNA experiences:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;The visuals were dropping back into tubes, like protozoa, like the inside of a cell, seeing the DNA twirling and spiralling. They looked gelatinlike, like tubes, inside of which were cellular activities. It was like a microscopic view of them.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;There was a spiral DNA-type thing made out of incredibly bright cubes. I "felt" the boxes at the same time that my conciousness shifted.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love this one:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;What's interesting is that I began experiencing sets of hallucinations and then I said to myself, "Ah, this is the Logos." There's the blue-yellow core of meaning and semantics, basically. &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DMT has shown me the reality that there is infinite variation on reality. There is the real possibility of adjacent dimensions. It may not be so simple as that there's alien planets with their own societies, This is too proximal. It's not like some kind of drug. It's more like an experience of a new technology than a drug.&lt;br /&gt;You can choose to attend to this or not. It will continue to progress without you paying attention. You return not where you left off, but to where things have gone since you left. It's not a hallucination, but an observation. When I'm there, I'm not intoxicated, I'm lucid and sober.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's just a brief overview of the stories to be found in this book.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My favourite of all however comes not from the book but from a friend who has actually tried DMT, possibly one of the best sentences ever!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;One minute you're inhaling a lungful, the next your hurtling towards Mars to play blackjack in a casino full of shapeshifting aliens&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joe Rogan also knows a bit about DMT, check out his take in the video.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/grcqs9cDuN8&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/grcqs9cDuN8&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6735383821693864337-9102883897432375527?l=challengingyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/feeds/9102883897432375527/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/04/dmt-spirit-molecule.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/9102883897432375527'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/9102883897432375527'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/04/dmt-spirit-molecule.html' title='DMT, The Spirit Molecule'/><author><name>Jon Hoff</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15218703884601180050</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='14' src='http://ab.bebo.com/ab/large/2005030813/9831954a2664179b128288488l.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735383821693864337.post-7710220381320769848</id><published>2009-04-13T12:29:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-13T12:37:46.288-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='videos'/><title type='text'>Soviet Story</title><content type='html'>A brilliant, compelling documentary ten years in the making.

If it wasn't so brazenly obvious what was happening it would be funny, but the fact that millions around the world are still falling for this personality cult is mind boggling. Even the constitutional lawyer in the video is a bit confused as he says the Bush people must be celebrating...well it makes a lot more sense when you realise they all work for the same team and left/right politics is a farce (it's called a &lt;a href="http://www.crossroad.to/articles2/05/dialectic.htm"&gt;Hegelian dialectic&lt;/a&gt;). Obama is as morally bankrupt as any of the other pathological elites he is surrounded by. His administration is currently working to transfer as much wealth as it can away from the lower chattel classes into private hands that own the economy and the government. Outlined in the videos below are short presentations from Argentinian analyst Adrian Salbuchi. The first two videos describe the economic collapse and predictions for the future. As he mentions, he and his country have been through it all already. More than once. Let's call Argentina the IMF's testing ground. The second set of videos describe very articulately the global system of control. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Global Financial Collapse&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt; &lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/UlDNMB6wYmI&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/UlDNMB6wYmI&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/78ddURofMWs&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/78ddURofMWs&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Will it be global government?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/dEp1D5hAGO8&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/dEp1D5hAGO8&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/X4pDIwMukA8&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/X4pDIwMukA8&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6735383821693864337-1369464565407236233?l=challengingyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/feeds/1369464565407236233/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/04/how-nwo-works-and-more-from-puppet.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/1369464565407236233'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/1369464565407236233'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/04/how-nwo-works-and-more-from-puppet.html' title='How the NWO works, and more from puppet Obama'/><author><name>Jon Hoff</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15218703884601180050</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='14' src='http://ab.bebo.com/ab/large/2005030813/9831954a2664179b128288488l.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735383821693864337.post-6275611554606999394</id><published>2009-04-08T03:38:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-08T03:55:10.396-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='videos'/><title type='text'>What the bleep do we know?

I've chosen an interesting segment as an introduction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's important to know about this area of science (still not mentioned in schools), as the powers that be have a vested interest in your ignorance of our true nature. It's simply another part of the huge manipulation of our species at every available turn. Arriving at spiritual and philosophical ponderings is a natural result of going down the rabbit hole. As you begin to wake up to the fact that governments lie, money is a tool of social control, mind control and manipulation of humans is a tool of the elite, your education was based on lies designed to create a false reality for you and your media perpetrates these lies, then you begin to ask well, what else don't I know? What else is possible? Waking up truly changes your perceptions which leads to new possibilities of understanding and awareness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the program discusses, we affect our reality with our thoughts. Therefore buying into the lies propagated and taking the attitude that 'it doesn't matter' really does matter, as collectively we are all affected by the manifestations of human thoughts in our physical world.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6735383821693864337-6275611554606999394?l=challengingyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/feeds/6275611554606999394/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/04/what-bleep-do-we-know-down-rabbit-hole.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/6275611554606999394'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/6275611554606999394'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/04/what-bleep-do-we-know-down-rabbit-hole.html' title='What the bleep do we know?

Actually, hold that thought, because I know already. I wonder how many innocent chattels around the world are breathing a sigh of relief. 'Thank god! Obama's sorted it! One analogy that stuck in my head of using more money to bailout countries and companies (the main outcome of G20) was that it is like pushing sand against the tide. The entire western monetary system is a debt-based nightmare that will eventually collapse, and anyone who has actually invested the time to research it will know this is true. Those who are still reliant on their belief systems instilled in them since birth and perpetuated by our education systems and poisonous corporate media might actually be buying the crap spewed forth by our so called leaders. If you want to start investigating I suggest a solid understanding of how money, fiat currencies and central banking works. Start with &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Creature-Jekyll-Island-Federal-Reserve/dp/0912986212"&gt;The Creature From Jekyll Island&lt;/a&gt; regarding the creation of the Federal Reserve. &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVkFb26u9g8"&gt;Money as Debt&lt;/a&gt; is a great introduction to how private interests have enslaved the vast majority of the world through their banking system. &lt;a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-515319560256183936"&gt;The Money Masters: How International Bankers Gained Control of America&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; is a three and a half hour history of the private takeover of control of the world's money supply. Understand this, the Fed and the Bank England are run by private families. The IMF and the World Bank are extensions of this private system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These private families who own the world's central banks and all other banks you will find, with a little investigation, are the same people controlling western foreign policy (think tanks - CFR, Trilateral Commission, Royal Institute of International Affairs), intelligence agencies (CIA, MI5, MI6), world institutions (the IMF, the World Bank,the UN, the EU, NATO, UNESCO, the WTO), the corporate world (pharmaceuticals, oil, food and other raw materials) and of course all the world's media. Not to mention all national governments in one way or another. You will find that at the top of these pyramids are the same names, who in their publications and their own worlds have been working towards a new world order, one in which all humans are reduced to a dumbed down chattel class, unable to even have the brain computation power to understand that anything is amiss, let alone raise a voice of dissent. Once the western world is deindustrialized through the current financial disaster, another step has been completed. World population reduction is the ultimate endgame. So, as we speak, the private Federal Reserve bank has created this crisis. Economists know that these bailouts are the proverbial pissing in the wind and that failed companies should be allowed to fail as this is the way the system should work. Recovery would be slow and painful, but then in its place the real market economy would grow based on production and labour, not the slave's existence of perpetual debt, buying things with non-existent worthless paper money, things we don't need and never will. This real recovery would be bleak, but not as bleak as what we could be facing as long as the system is propped up by trillions of dollars. The derivatives bubble is estimated to be over 1 quadrillion dollars. Find out what a derivatives value is based on, and begin to comprehend the amount of money has been scammed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is taken from Bob Chapman's &lt;a href="http://www.theinternationalforecaster.com/"&gt;The International Forecaster&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;It has been 20 months since the financial and economic underpinnings of America started to really come unglued. Yet we can’t get an honest answer out of anyone in Washington or New York. We were promised a new era of accountability, transparence and forthrightness and we’ve received nothing except you don’t have a need to know or it is a state secret. We cannot even find out how much money is left in the $700 billion financial-rescue program. If you back into the numbers you come up with about $53 billion, which means 92% has been committed. The Treasury has yet, even upon request, provided an official accounting. This past week our Treasury Secretary Tiny Tim twice officially refused to say what was left. When he spoke before the CFR, Council on Foreign Relations, he even refused to answer. The retort was very, very, reasonable amounts of money. He told CNBC the same thing. There is no honesty even among peers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Government, controlled from behind the scenes by JP Morgan Chase and Goldman Sachs, wants to seize anything it wants, hence Treasury’s new demand for new regulatory powers. It is a race against time before the derivative monster collapses and takes everything else with it, except gold and silver. Doesn’t anyone realize all this government, corporate and individual debt can never be repaid? It is a giant scam. Even the derivatives that were written were naked. There is nothing in the till; it is empty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stop Obama and who he works for or the US will cease to exist. Not my words, those of Alan Keyes:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/lqkMfToY9Pk&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/lqkMfToY9Pk&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6735383821693864337-1133030818164630695?l=challengingyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/feeds/1133030818164630695/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/04/insanity-continues.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/1133030818164630695'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/1133030818164630695'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/04/insanity-continues.html' title='The insanity continues'/><author><name>Jon Hoff</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15218703884601180050</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='14' src='http://ab.bebo.com/ab/large/2005030813/9831954a2664179b128288488l.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735383821693864337.post-2760912507605763708</id><published>2009-03-30T11:00:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-05T12:24:43.324-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Book Review'/><title type='text'>The Covert War Against Rock</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/092291561X.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 317px; height: 500px;" src="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/092291561X.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This book, &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Covert-War-Against-Rock/dp/092291561X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=books&amp;amp;qid=1238436150&amp;amp;sr=1-1"&gt;The Covert War Against Rock by Alex Constantine&lt;/a&gt;, details the deaths of many of the 20th century's greatest and most inspirational musicians including Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley, John Lennon and Tupac.

He does this through interpretation of Sumerian tablets and their apparent graphic descriptions of 'those who from heaven came to earth', or Annunaki as they are known. Obviously, the first thing you need for Sitchin's books are an open mind. Without freeing your mind the quest for knowledge is severely hamstrung. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 'The 12th planet' Sitchin outlines how the Old Testament is an Astrotheological allegorical tale which describes the creation of the Earth. His theory is that the Annunaki took advanced primates and genetically engineering them to create a race of 'workers'for their mining expeditions. This theory explains the mysterious 'missing links' in our evolution that mainstream science can not answer. The evidence he provides is staggering. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The second book 'Stairway to heaven' as outlined above describes the search for everlasting life that all ancient civilizations undertook including Alexander the Great and the pharaohs of Egypt (the Duat). Sitchin speculates that the mythological journey taken by the pharaohs and also by Gligamesh (the Sumerian legend 'The Epic of Gilgamesh) in order to find eternal life was actually a real journey to the hidden space ports of the Annunaki in the Sinai peninsular and areas of Mesoptamia and Cannan. Sitchin maps the legends to real geographical features and the results are mind boggling. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sitchin talks of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baalbek"&gt;Baalbek&lt;/a&gt;, an incredible structure in today's Lebanon. Despite its remote location, the Romans built a temple there as had the Greeks and obviously civilizations before them. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An extract from the book: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;...the top layers of the Podium were constructed of "cyclopian" stone blocks some of which measure over thirty-one feet in length, about thirteen feet in height and are twelve feet thick. Each such slab represents about 5,000 cubic feet of stone and weighs more than 500 tons. Large as these stones are - the largest ones in the Great Pyramid of  Egypt weigh 200 tons - they were not the largest slabs of granite employed by the ancient master builder in creating the Podium.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The central layer - situated some twenty feet above the base of the Podium - was incredibly made up of even larger stones.....Ancient historians named them the Trilithon - the Marvel of the Three Stones. For there, exposed to view in the western side of the Podium, lie side by side three stone blocks, the likes of which cannot be seen anywhere else in the world. Precisely shaped and perfectly fitting, each of the three stones measures over 60 feet in length....each slab thus represents more than 10,000 cubic feet of granite and weighs well over 1,000 tons!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...the gigantic blocks were hewn, cut and shaped in the valley some three-quarters of a mile south west. It is there that one comes upon a sight even more incredible than that of the Trilithon. Partly buried in the ground, there lies yet another of the colossal granite slabs. Fully shaped and perfectly cut it is an unbelievable sixty-nine feet long and has a girth of sixteen by fourteen feet. It weights, by conservative estimates, 1200 tons. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The mind boggling fact is that even nowadays there exists no crane, vehicle or mechanism that can lift such a weight as 1000-1200 tons - to say nothing of carrying such an immense object over valley and mountainside, and placing each slab in its precise position, many feet above ground. There are no traces of any roadway, causeway, ramp or other earthworks that could even remotely suggest the hauling or dragging of these megaliths from the quarry to their uphill site. &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sitchin continues in the book to outline the function of the Great Pyramids as a beacon for landing aircraft, and the unbelievable alignment of structures and geographical 'coincidences' in the area, including the fact that the Sphinx (builders unknown) is aligned and gazes along the 30th parallel where you will find ancient civilizations constructed their own important cities, including Lhasa in Tibet. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also in this book Sitchin explains how modern or 'mainstream' Egyptology is lacking in answers and riddled with forged evidence and shady characters.Once again a vast amount of evidence is laid out to support his findings and theory.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6735383821693864337-6253709413899433721?l=challengingyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/feeds/6253709413899433721/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/03/book-review-stairway-to-heaven.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/6253709413899433721'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/6253709413899433721'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/03/book-review-stairway-to-heaven.html' title='Book Review: Stairway to Heaven'/><author><name>The Challenge</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11516399617968700351</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735383821693864337.post-5945466178219767561</id><published>2009-03-19T11:58:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-05T12:26:18.386-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='videos'/><title type='text'>Must watch movies to challenge your perceptions</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Dear all,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have some videos you may be interested in if you are a soverign individual interested in disovery, betterment, humanity, truth, history and enlightenment.

The graphics come from &lt;a href="http://www.pagetutor.com/trillion/index.html"&gt;this page&lt;/a&gt;, so thanks to the author for their work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The FED has refused Congress the permission to see where the money has gone. That's right, Congress has NO POWER over the privately owned Federal Reserve whatsoever. Bloombery famously attempted a freedom of information order over the FED but failed. See the article &lt;a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601109&amp;amp;sid=apx7XNLnZZlc&amp;amp;refer=home"&gt;FED refuses to disclose recepients of $2 trillion. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; As pointed out in 'The Obama Deception', Washington has been hikacked by Wall Street in broad daylight. Geithner, formely of the (private) New York Federal Reserve is now Secratey of the Treasury. Fox and chicken coup comes to mind. These banksters have been running the US and most of the world for a hundred years and now they are very publicly consolidating - destroying the economy whilst stealing and looting as much of the nations tax money cash through 'bailouts' and the rest whilst they can. Remember, Geithner, Volkler and Greenspan and all the others are puppets of the shadow banksters - Rothschild and Rockefeller and other  families.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ending the FED is essential in the worldwide fight for more freedom and an end to the tyranny of the banksters over nations and ultimately the people of the world. It seems like there is hope in all of this, with &lt;a href="http://www.ronpaul.com/2009-02-28/ron-paul-introduces-bill-to-audit-the-fed/"&gt;Ron Paul's bill to Audit the FED&lt;/a&gt; attracting more and more support. A real movement is in motion involving a real awakening.

This is how shocking stories arise with such regularity but never get much attention if any at all. If the public at large thought there was a wider agenda connecting most of these stories there would be a riot in the morning!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.whale.to/a/image/fluoride_dees.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 391px;" src="http://www.whale.to/a/image/fluoride_dees.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recently &lt;a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/hampshire/7911820.stm"&gt;the NHS forced 200,000 people in Hampshire to be medicated with fluoridated water&lt;/a&gt;. Despite a drawn out public consultation process and widespread opposition, the NHS panel unanimously decided to proceed with the rise in fluoride in the water based on the age old argument of improving dental health. Unfortunately, this link is not proven. The following point is taken from '&lt;a href="http://www.fluoridealert.org/50-reasons.htm"&gt;50 reasons to oppose fluoridation&lt;/a&gt;'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Fluoridation's role in the decline of tooth decay is in serious doubt. The largest survey ever conducted in the US (over 39,000 children from 84 communities) by the National Institute of Dental Research showed little difference in tooth decay among children in fluoridated and non-fluoridated communities (Hileman 1989). According to NIDR researchers, the study found an average difference of only 0.6 DMFS (Decayed Missing and Filled Surfaces) in the permanent teeth of children aged 5-17 residing in either fluoridated or unfluoridated areas (Brunelle and Carlos, 1990). This difference is less than one tooth surface! There are 128 tooth surfaces in a child's mouth. This result was not shown to be statistically significant. In a review commissioned by the Ontario government, Dr. David Locker concluded:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The magnitude of [fluoridation's] effect is not large in absolute terms, is often not statistically significant and may not be of clinical significance" (Locker 1999).&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another fun fact from this document, amongst many:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;In the first half of the 20th century, fluoride was prescribed by a number of European doctors to reduce the activity of the thyroid gland for those suffering from hyperthyroidism (over active thyroid) (Stecher 1960; Waldbott 1978). With water fluoridation, we are forcing people to drink a thyroid-depressing medication which could, in turn, serve to promote higher levels of hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) in the population, and all the subsequent problems related to this disorder. Such problems include depression, fatigue, weight gain, muscle and joint pains, increased cholesterol levels, and heart disease.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://commendatori.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/2005-5-15-fluoride1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 430px;" src="http://commendatori.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/2005-5-15-fluoride1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As if 50 reasons isn't enough, it gets better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;During wartime, both the Germans and Russians added sodium fluoride to the water of prisoners of war. Were they interested in preventing tooth decay? According to the documentation of the Australian Ian E. Stephen (1987), both Germans and Russians used fluoridation because they had discovered that it made their prisoners “stupid and docile”. Eustace Mullins in Murder by Injection, claimed that the originators of fluoridation in the United States were informed about the Soviet uses of fluoride salts to induce sheeplike, obedient, unthinking behavior, not only in prisoners, but in the general population at large. This “human” experiment was not original. Apparently, the obedience drug-like effect was borrowed from animal studies that showed that breeders of intractable bulls had routinely used sodium fluoride to successfully tranquilize bulls for easier handling. Since the 1940s, the prison camps in the Gulag Archipelago in the Soviet Union were experimental laboratories for discovering just how much sodium fluoride was necessary for producing an easily managed, obedient human population. Using Dr. Murray’s figures, it only takes a concentration of &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;1 part per million&lt;/span&gt; (edit: &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;the same amount that the Hampshire water supply now includes&lt;/span&gt;) of fluoride to significantly impair acetylcholine synthesis in the body.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And it continues to get even worse:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Sodium Fluoride is one of the basic ingredients in both PROZAC (FLUoxetene Hydrochloride) and Sarin Nerve Gas (Isopropyl-Methyl-Phosphoryl FLUORIDE....Fluoride is nothing more (or less) than a hazardous waste by-product of the nuclear and aluminum industries. In addition to being the primary ingredient in rat and cockroach poisons, it is also a main ingredient in anesthetic, hypnotic, and psychiatric drugs as well as military NERVE GAS!&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fluoride also has proven links with &lt;a href="http://www.rense.com/general57/FLUR.HTM"&gt;suppressing the thyroid gland&lt;/a&gt; and suppressing the release of melatonin from the pineal gland in the brain. Indeed, as Dr Jenny Luke discovered with her Phd, the pineal gland is the 'primary target of fluoride accumulation in the human body'. Meh, who needs melatonin anyway. The conclusion to the study included the following:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"In conclusion, the human pineal gland contains the highest concentration of fluoride in the body. Fluoride is associated with depressed pineal melatonin synthesis by prepubertal gerbils and an accelerated onset of sexual maturation in the female gerbil. The results strengthen the hypothesis that the pineal has a role in the timing of the onset of puberty. Whether or not fluoride interferes with pineal function in humans requires further investigation."&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The effect on the pineal gland is especially interesting due its perceived mystical powers. Descartes famously called it 'the seat of the soul'. It is also known as the 'third eye', a connection between the physical and the spiritual. Why is that important you might ask, and why would the NHS possibly want to force this poison onto the population. This is where educating yourself about the true order of the world is essential in order to be able to finally connect the dots. This may be an uncomfortable but necessary process, first and foremost to protect your health which believe me is under attack.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;World fluoridation, from Wikipedia:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Water fluoridation is used by about 5.7% of people worldwide,[18] including 61.5% of the U.S. population.[71] It has been introduced to varying degrees in many other countries, including Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore, Spain, the UK, and Vietnam. An estimated 12 million people in western Europe, 171 million in the U.S., and 355 million worldwide receive artificially fluoridated water.[70]&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't worry, as we are seeing now, whether you like it or not, the UK is heading towards fluoridated water countrywide, &lt;a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3018313.stm"&gt;just as 'the government' declared in 2003&lt;/a&gt;. And it seems like the &lt;a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/nottinghamshire/7928150.stm"&gt;lucky people of Nottingham are the next be force fed an industrial toxic waste product&lt;/a&gt;!

A recent comment read: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;This is a new and somewhat disturbing side to you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another read: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;i dont think its a new side (although i find it disturbing, lol), we just did not get to see this side of jon. honestly ive followed jon's blog almost from the beginning, and yes i am one of those people who think ppl who follow conspiracy theorists and paranoid about the gov are delusional.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before I break it down, and I hope this will become clear by the end of this post, I don’t ‘follow conspiracy theorists’, neither do I have any political agenda whatsoever. I have theories about conspiracy at the highest level, as do many other people who are expressing these theories on the Internet because it is the only medium available to individuals to express their opinions. I tend to agree with a lot of these like-minded people. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To label something a conspiracy theory (think, who labelled it in the first place.) is a simple PR trick, a slur to discredit those who are investigating and disseminating the truth. Whenever you see an argument turn to character assassination and away from the facts, you know the person or people behind the personal insults or slurs have nowhere else to go. The best example of this is 9/11, where the &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;government story&lt;/span&gt; is the one that sounds like an outrageous theory, and where the massive 9/11 truth movement, a movement full of people who lost family, first responders and truthers is still labelled as ‘conspiracy nuts’, ‘fanatics’ or whatever the main stream media wants to portray. I defy ANYONE to watch the following three films : Loose Change, Fabled Enemies and 9/11 Truth Rising (all available to watch on Google Video) and then NOT feel embarrassed about labelling the 9/11 truth movement a conspiracy. WHY would all those people (assuming they were sane before they got involved) suddenly decide to conspire together and come up with their theories? This case highlights the need for a shift in attitude and a need to recognise the main stream media for what it is, a tool of mass deception. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;The Iraq/Oil connection is not a &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;conspiracy theory&lt;/span&gt;, but an &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;economic theory&lt;/span&gt;, which theoretically could be wrong, but few pro-war activists choose to counter this theory on an economic basis preferring instead to appeal to our emotions by raising the spectre of genocidal dictators. Compare and contrast this with the notion that Osama Bin Laden had &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;conspired&lt;/span&gt; with 19 hijackers of mainly Saudi Arabian descent to fly four planes into strategic symbols of US financial and military might. If true, that would be one hell of a conspiracy theory.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is worth reading this article, &lt;a href="http://www.dissidentvoice.org/2008/10/confessions-of-a-conspiracy-theorist"&gt;Confession of a Conspiracy Theorist&lt;/a&gt;. Never heard of Operation Mockingbird? Never heard of memes? Please don’t judge and label others before doing your own investigating. Make sure your opinions and your knowledge are your own before projecting them onto other people!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;In religion and politics people's beliefs and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second-hand, and without examination, from authorities who have not themselves examined the questions at issue but have taken them at second-hand from other non-examiners, whose opinions about them were not worth a brass farthing. -- Autobiography of Mark Twain&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let’s break it down a bit more. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2004 I was on holiday in the Philippines and met a guy called George.  He was an American in his 80s and one of the most interesting men I’ve ever met. We spent three warm and breezy afternoons sat on the wooden decking outside our bungalows on Boracay Island, sharing bottles of rum and putting the world to rights.  George was involved in the hotel industry in the Las Vegas during the 70s, a half owner of one of the biggest hotels on the strip. He told me tales of crime, mafia and government corruption, how he had been to court and had his case against the illegal US income tax thrown out, and about the ‘powers that be’.  Later George sent me a booklet from his home in Mexico regarding 9/11. That’s really when my awakening begun. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I left the UK with £500 in my pocket to go to a job in the South Korean countryside, the middle of nowhere. I had to do this (the alternatives of picking up a ‘career’ were too harrowing to consider), but I didn’t know what was wrong with the system and why I didn’t want to be a part of it – it was just a feeling. Now I do. And I am glad I followed that instinct because it led me on a fruitful path – an interesting life of travel, a profession, a business and of course a wonderful family. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Am I delusional, as suggested by an anonymous commenter? Well, make your own mind up after reading what follows. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today I am interested in the history of our species and where we came from and what we are doing here. I am interested in real science and real history and not that which has been published in school systems and taught as gospel truth. I am interested in psychology, spirituality and philosophy (which aren’t considered important in school so there’s a lot of catching up to do) and I am also interested in ancient knowledge, ancient religions and ancient civilizations, and I am interested in the anomalies and gaps in the established histories of the world that can’t be explained and are ignored by those who make a living from and those who fund our established histories of the world. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How did the Sumerians and the Egyptians have such immense knowledge of the heavens and the stars? How did their civilizations suddenly spring up from nowhere with all the knowledge they possessed? How was the great pyramid the oldest and most superbly constructed monument in ancient Egypt and those that followed were of cruder design, suggesting a decline in civilization and not an improvement as might be expected. How is it that the British Museum’s timeline of Ancient Egypt begins in 3500BC with ‘early settlers’ when the Sphinx is considered to have clear signs of water erosion. Egypt was a lush and wet land only between 7-10,000 years ago. Why do all the ancient creation stories from across the world share extremely similar stories of gods and floods? Why is the gap in evolution between homo-erectus and homo-sapiens so unexplainable in terms of natural evolution, one that has such marked skeletal differences it should have taken a million years…Why did ancient civilizations have such high regard for spirituality and their relationship with nature, one which we have had destroyed in our ‘modern’ civilization. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Could our potential relationship with nature and our knowledge of spirituality have been destroyed by design to help enable the creation of a false world view where our species would be more vulnerable to manipulation to the desires of those who benefit, in other words those who imposed our false world view through a required lifelong servitude to debt and the suppression of information through the media. Could groups of people in the world today retain the knowledge that those ancient civilizations had about our origins, our environment and our spirituality and be using it against us? Could they have passed this information down through the ages via secret societies and Masonic orders to be used to their advantage, and could they be literally advertising this fact through symbology which abounds in our cities, our corporate and institutional logos, our television and films….? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A duality exists in many things we see today therefore meaning that those who are not looking or who are unaware what to look for will be unable to see the duality. I want to ask if the people of the world are happy being divided, bickering amongst each other over trivial things (politics, gender, religion, race) which through history have been used to divide and conquer nations. Are people truly knowledgeable when fighting for causes they don’t properly understand the origins of, accepting authority as truth and not truth as authority, having even no awareness that your life, a human life, doesn’t have to be this way, battling with boring meaningless jobs which provide no nourishment for the mind or raising consciousness, eeking out enough money to survive, climbing the social ladder, the ego-mind dominated with swirling thoughts of more money, more possessions, higher status. Have those who understand the human mind and kept its workings from us pushed humans into an ‘ego-mind’ creation of ‘I’ and away from our true ‘self’ through a bombardment of media, advertising, consumer lifestyle and systems that teach us that our life is purely based on the 5 sense physical world?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Incredible advancements in biology help us to understand that there is more than this now : &lt;a href="http://www.consciousmedianetwork.com/members/blipton.htm"&gt;Bruce Lipton&lt;/a&gt; explains that 85% to 95% of our life is controlled by the subconscious mind. Consider the role of parents, schools, television and media implanting our very belief systems in society, including the systems we should adhere to – government education, political beliefs, the notion that intelligence is related to academics, the notion that economic success and status are important, the notion that most of our life should be spent working and then giving large portions of that labour away in the form of taxes to an authority whose jurisdiction you were born into and who you should unquestionable trust and that’s just the way things are.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quantum science is showing that thoughts create matter. Think about that – science is on the verge of proving that consciousness is the creative force of matter, the physical world which we use to experience the ride. In &lt;a href="http://www.consciousmedianetwork.com/members/blipton.htm"&gt;Bruce Lipton’s&lt;/a&gt; experiments he has found that cells do not develop according to their genes, they develop according to their environments. Think about that in the context of the world we live in today, fear and lies being drip fed through the poisonous corporate medias, people divided and confused, over worked and stressed. People drinking water contaminated with fluoride, eating food with no nutritional value, people medicating their bodies with chemical rather than natural solutions…it’s so plainly obvious what has happened to us when we awaken from the hypnosis we have endured since birth and what we can do to free ourselves from the manipulation of our spiritual and physical selves. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The alternatives may still be unfathomable to some, a sign of how far the system of indoctrination of our human spirit has come. I know that in this life, the glory of watching a tropical sunset and the joy of being at leisure are my human rights and not a privilege granted to me by any government, job or else. I work, like anyone else, to provide for my family. But at the same time I have to ask people why they endure their endless Monday-Friday routines at meaningless soul destroying jobs. Why are so many people unhappy with their jobs, living for the weekend and the pathetic benefits we are meant to feel lucky for? Because that human spirit within you, your consciousness, your mind, deep down it is alive. Is it this conflict that is manifesting itself into emotions such as depression, frustration, nervousness and anxiety, a sign that you are not following your true destiny? I know one thing for sure, I was not born to work in an office, backstabbing and backbiting, scrabbling for promotions and privileges. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love to travel, to relax, do yoga, eat well and enjoy stimulating conversation, and I feel that the journey is just beginning. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Delusional? That’s not my concern because I am what I am - without prejudice but with honour, an open mind and some integrity.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;To Conclude&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Large portions of the global population, for example, believe the following: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-The world has not been planned but we have arrived where we are today just by natural progression - world events just 'happen'. &lt;br /&gt;-Government is trustworthy and has the interests of the general population at heart.&lt;br /&gt;-Doctors are the authority when it comes to health &lt;br /&gt;-Global warming is man made. &lt;br /&gt;-The POTUS is the most powerful man in the world. &lt;br /&gt;-That the global depression was an uncontrollable result of greedy mistakes by Wall Street and not intentionally caused&lt;br /&gt;-That people in western government are beyond lies and corruption and that the questioning of government is ‘unpatriotic’. &lt;br /&gt;-That western foreign policy revolves around the need to spread ‘democracy’ and to prevent ‘terrorism’. &lt;br /&gt;-That OBL was responsible for 9/11. &lt;br /&gt;-That global organisations like the UN, the WTO etc have good intentions.&lt;br /&gt;-That their media gives a fair and balanced view. &lt;br /&gt;-And so, so much more...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;delusion - (psychology) an erroneous belief that is held in the face of evidence to the contrary&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6735383821693864337-8517678726653620492?l=challengingyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/feeds/8517678726653620492/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/02/essay-on-intellectual-curiosity.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/8517678726653620492'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/8517678726653620492'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/02/essay-on-intellectual-curiosity.html' title='An essay on intellectual curiosity'/><author><name>Jon Hoff</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15218703884601180050</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='14' src='http://ab.bebo.com/ab/large/2005030813/9831954a2664179b128288488l.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735383821693864337.post-387297993226788333</id><published>2009-02-20T10:02:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-04-05T12:25:58.979-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='videos'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='nwo'/><title type='text'>Some more great videos</title><content type='html'>Just forty minutes - don't bother with the TV tonight, watch these videos.

I &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;am&lt;/span&gt; scared by the ever increasing amounts of propaganda appearing in our press and on our TV screens. Whilst my knowledge of climate change and it's political agenda increases, the disinformation flows ever more rigorously. As the gap between &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;reality&lt;/span&gt; and the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;falsely created world-view&lt;/span&gt; imposed on the population by  politicians, think tanks and the media widens, it is increasingly difficult to believe ones eyes or restrain ones vocal cords. The knowledge that many many well educated and intelligent beings will have been 'brain-trained' by the latter is intellectually excruciating and needs to be rectified. For my part, all I can do is lay down the facts and hope you can respond, if you are not already 'awake' to the true agenda of the 'climate change' movement. Once you are, frequently appearing stories in our media and the names linked to them will begin to make a lot more sense.

If the question was 'Global Warming, only supported by political institutions and bodies and scientists who are funded by those bodies, but otherwise vehemently disputed by huge swathes of climate scientists around the world', then the answer is &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;yes&lt;/span&gt;. Nobody is arguing that the earth isn't warming, the point is that it is not due to human activity, rather a consistent part of Earth's climate going back hundreds of thousands of years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oregon_Petition"&gt;Oregon Petition&lt;/a&gt; currently lists 31,000 signatures. &lt;a href="http://www.wholetruthcoalition.org/2008/12/12/over-650-scientists-challenge-global-warming-consensus/"&gt;650 scientists put their name to a senate report that challenged the IPCC's 'consensus' on climate change&lt;/a&gt;. Those who speak out in the mainstream &lt;a href="http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0%2C25197%2C24700827-7583%2C00.html"&gt;like David Bellamy&lt;/a&gt; soon get put in their place though. The Spectator does manage to speak out with it's article '&lt;a href="http://www.spectator.co.uk/melaniephillips/550481/the-mammoth-global-warming-scam.thtml"&gt;The mammoth global warming scam&lt;/a&gt;'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Watch the videos...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A good starting point are the two following documentaries. The first, made by channel 4, is entitled '&lt;a href="http://www.garagetv.be/video-galerij/blancostemrecht/The_Great_Global_Warming_Swindle_Documentary_Film.aspx"&gt;The Great Global Warming Swindle&lt;/a&gt;'. The second is '&lt;a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3069943905833454241"&gt;Global Warming or Global Governance&lt;/a&gt;'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Left Brain Right Brain&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just a few points to get the left side of your brain working:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;CO2 makes up about 0.0383% of our atmosphere, and a large portion of that is obviously naturally occurring.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Consider the scale of the universe and the size and power of the sun. How can we humans possibly have an impact, over the space of just a hundred years, on planetary climate? &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Plants breath C02 and other natural entities emit it such as the oceans, volcanoes and oh yeah, humans. It is one of the building blocks of life. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;What's the agenda? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now the question we may have to ask is why? Why the lies, the media distortion, the 'climate change' agenda? For many, the answer may be obviously rooted in a cynical political agenda to create new taxes. Granted, this has already happened - the Daily Mail reported a story titled '&lt;a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1050098/800-year-dishonest-green-taxes.html"&gt;British families pay almost £800 per year in dishonest green taxes&lt;/a&gt;'. Just one example. Obama is going to wage all out war against CO2 emissions with his 'cap and trade' plans. However, the financial regulatory control which will eventually extend over everything you and your family do is &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;just one part &lt;/span&gt;of the real founding policies of the global warming myth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Club of Rome&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The C of R was founded in the late 60's and is one of the leading globalist think tanks at the forefront of implementing 'new world order' objectives. Here is a quote from the Club of Rome's book called 'The First Global Revolution'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(71, 0, 184);font-family:lucida grande;" &gt;“&lt;span lang="en-NZ"&gt;&lt;i&gt;The common enemy of humanity is man.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(71, 0, 184);font-family:lucida grande;" &gt;&lt;span lang="en-NZ"&gt;&lt;i&gt;In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(71, 0, 184);font-family:lucida grande;" &gt;&lt;span lang="en-NZ"&gt;&lt;i&gt;with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(71, 0, 184);font-family:lucida grande;" &gt;&lt;span lang="en-NZ"&gt;&lt;i&gt;water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. All these&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(71, 0, 184);font-family:lucida grande;" &gt;&lt;span lang="en-NZ"&gt;&lt;i&gt;dangers are caused by human intervention, and it is only through&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(71, 0, 184);font-family:lucida grande;" &gt;&lt;span lang="en-NZ"&gt;&lt;i&gt;changed attitudes and behavior that they can be overcome.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(71, 0, 184);font-family:lucida grande;" &gt;&lt;span lang="en-NZ"&gt;&lt;i&gt;The real enemy then, is humanity itself."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;This is where it may get difficult for some to believe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Club of Rome, which is contracted by the UN to advise and produce reports, is led by belief in an almost pagan religion and the worship of 'gaia', the mother earth. This philosophy, attributed to Sir James Lovelock (more on him later), teaches that humans are a cancer on the living being that is the earth and that our numbers must be heavily reduced to account for this. The Club of Romes reports are, and have always been, geared towards a solution to relieve poor Gaia of her burden, us. Yes, we are talking about population reduction, the feudalisation of developed societies and the continued restrictions on development for Africa and other third world nations.  They have even talked about sustainable numbers (in double speak, sustainability means population reduction); the Earth's population should not exceed 500,000,000. Someone even put it in stone, in 12 different languages. I'd call them Gaia's Ten Commandments, but they are popularly known as &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgia_Guidestones"&gt;the Georgia Guidestones&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.crystalinks.com/gaguidestones2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 598px; height: 431px;" src="http://www.crystalinks.com/gaguidestones2.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, who is involved with the Club of Rome? A certain Al Gore for a start. Along with other familiar names such as David Rockefeller, Henry Kissinger, Clinton, Blair, the King and Queen of Spain, Queen of the Netherlands and of course human hater Prince Phillip.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Now is the time &lt;b&gt;to draw up a master plan&lt;/b&gt; for organic sustainable growth and world development based on &lt;b&gt;global allocation of all finite resources and a new global economic system&lt;/b&gt;. Ten or twenty years from today it will probably be too late.” – Mankind at the Turning Point, a report by The Club of Rome&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;A new economic system hey...I wonder?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are a bit miffed about all this, have a look at the most comprehensive coverage of the UN and C of R  role in the MMGW scam at &lt;a href="http://green-agenda.com/index.html"&gt;The Green Agenda&lt;/a&gt;. Take your time to read through these pages, you will be astonished - not least by the number of institutions that have been set up by C of R and UN officials, espousing what would seem bizarre ideas - Al Gore and many others are members of the &lt;a href="http://globalspirit.org/index.php"&gt;World Commission on Global Consciousness and Spirituality&lt;/a&gt;. As the author at the Green Agenda suggests, read their &lt;a href="http://globalspirit.org/pages/mission.php"&gt;mission&lt;/a&gt; and tell me you are not worried anymore. To me it hints at the esoteric!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Giai worship or not, the philosophy also ties in with Malthusian eugenics belief systems and also the control grid being imposed on western societies today through reducing freedoms using the war on terrorism hoax. When you understand that the elites are interested in controlling population growth, then the UN's Agenda 21, fluoridation of the water, aspartame, &lt;a href="http://www.infowars.com/alex-jones-brainwashing-and-propaganda-on-tv/"&gt;mercury in high fructose corn syrup&lt;/a&gt; and vaccines, Monsanto, GMOs in a strictly controlled food supply, Codex Alimentarius - it all makes a little more sense. The movie 'Esoteric Agenda' points some of these things out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Sd_Mg0xCvcM&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Sd_Mg0xCvcM&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Al Gore&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You probably think of Al Gore as a cuddly family man who, god darn it, just wants to save the earth. His slick, well funded presentation probably had you drooling didn't it! He probably enamoured you with his little wise cracks during the film...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately Al Gore is a Gaia worshipper who has some rather hard to stomach beliefs when it comes to the 'environment' (and the ability of Africa to develop come to that). Again, I'll let the real researchers do the talking. Over at the Executive Intelligence Review they have an &lt;a href="http://www.larouchepub.com/eirtoc/site_packages/2007/al_gore.html"&gt;Al Gore dossier&lt;/a&gt;. Just read some of those gems...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This may also be of interest:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;In the United States the only operating carbon emissions trading market is the Chicago Climate Exchange(CCX). Coincidentally, or not, Al Gore’s hedge fund, Generation Investment Management, is the largest shareholder in CCX. Now that’s what I call a conflict of interest! The most vocal Global Warming alarmist is the largest shareholder in the USA’s only operating ‘carbon market.’&lt;/blockquote&gt;From&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.green-agenda.com/gaians.html"&gt;The Green Agenda, Gaia's Gurus&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As an aside, Al Gore's daughter is married to the grandson of Jacob Schiff, famous banker who was head of Kuhn Loeb and Co. Anyone who knows their 20th century history knows the links with the Kuhn Leob family and the Warburgs, the Morgans, the Rockefellers and on and on...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Recent examples of the agenda at work in the UK&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I've taken your mind for a meander into reality, let's go back to the bizarre &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;false world-view&lt;/span&gt; being enforced through the mainstream media. A story was carried on Sunday February 1st by the Sunday Times and many others. The headline reads '&lt;a href="http://women.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/women/families/article5627634.ece"&gt;Two Children should be limit says Green Guru&lt;/a&gt;'. The article was based on the rantings of Jonathan Porrit. He is chair of the government's &lt;a href="http://www.sd-commission.org.uk/"&gt;Sustainable Development Commission&lt;/a&gt; which was established by Tony Blair (Club of Rome).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;The Optimum Population Trust, a campaign group of which Porritt is a patron, says each baby born in Britain will, during his or her lifetime, burn carbon roughly equivalent to 2½ acres of old-growth oak woodland - an area the size of Trafalgar Square.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;This ridiculous propaganda is in a national newspaper! The &lt;a href="http://www.optimumpopulation.org/"&gt;Optimum Population Trust&lt;/a&gt; counts as its patrons Jane Goodall (Club of Rome) and &lt;a href="http://www.crispintickell.com/page109.html"&gt;Sir Crispin Tickell&lt;/a&gt; (Club of Rome, former chairman of the Gaia Society...).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Web of the Elite and how the policies come about&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A while back now in 2006 David Miliband, then Environment Secretary, spoke about '&lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2006/dec/11/uk.greenpolitics"&gt;carbon trading credits for everyone&lt;/a&gt;' (remember, MMGW is a lie). Miliband was appointed originally by, yes, C of R and elite insider Tony Blair. Miliband went to Oxford and was a Kennedy Scholar at MIT, a scholarship with intimate ties to Anglo-American elitism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Lovelock&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, February 8th 2009, Sir James Lovelock has a full front page and full page 2 and page 3 spread in the The Sunday Times news review section. To remind you, here's a quote from him:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"What if Mary is another name for Gaia? Then her capacity for virgin birth is no miracle . . . it is a role of Gaia since life began . . . She is of this Universe and, conceivably, a part of God. On Earth, she is the source of life everlasting and is alive now; she gave birth to humankind and we are part of her." – &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Sir James Lovelock, Ages of Gaia&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;The piece is extracted from his upcoming book called 'The Vanishing Face of Gaia'. The problem is, there is no actual science that I can see in the article, just rantings from his philosophy. Yep, I'm more scared than ever. He says:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"No voluntary human act can reduce numbers enough even to slow climate change. Merely by existing, people and their dependent animals are responsible for more than 10 times the greenhouse emissions of all the airline travel in the world". &lt;/blockquote&gt;So it is our fault (and our pets), because we are alive, that the earth is warming. He goes on to say - "It is possible that global heating may all but eliminate people from the Earth". Wow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jonhoff/3262437313/" title="Picture 001 by jonhoff, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3495/3262437313_80c85f95d3.jpg" alt="Picture 001" width="375" height="500" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jonhoff/3263264772/" title="Picture 002 by jonhoff, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3408/3263264772_0f6c0affd1.jpg" alt="Picture 002" width="375" height="500" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Based on what?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Is this journalism worthy of your intelligence? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Look at that graph!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;If you have any doubts, remember, the Club of Rome explain it all &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;in their own writings, books and reports&lt;/span&gt;.

McDonald, 1976, killed in the Korean Airlines 747 that was shot down by the Soviets&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We are grateful to The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the work is now much more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;David Rockefeller, founder of the Trilateral Commission, in an address to a meeting of The Trilateral Commission, in June, 1991.&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"For more than a century, ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure - one world, if you will.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From David Rockefellers autobiography &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See more &lt;a href="http://www.preferrednetwork.com/NWO_QUOTES.htm"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The New World Order operates through secret behind the scenes groups such as the Council on Foreign Relations (the American branch of the Royal Institute of International Affairs), the Trilateral Comission (founded by Rockefeller and Brezinski), the Bilderberg Group and other seemingly harmless 'think tanks', along with intimate ties to secret societies. For rational minded people it must be hard to understand why the Bilderbergers go to every effort to keep their meetings secret, why they are not covered in the mainstream media, and what agendas they are pursuing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you really want the background you need to read stuff like Quigley's book &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Tragedy-Hope-History-World-Time/dp/094500110X"&gt;Tradegy and Hope&lt;/a&gt;. You could go to &lt;a href="http://wideeyecinema.com/"&gt;http://wideeyecinema.com/&lt;/a&gt; and view some of their documentaries. They have a great collection of ebooks as well that can fill you in on where the Rothschilds got their control of basically every banking system in the world including the US Fed and the Bank of England. You can read how JP Morgan was a Rothschild frontman (as well as Paul Warburg) and how JP Morgan bought out the free press of the United States in the 1920s. Yes, 90 years ago. You need to watch movies like &lt;a href="http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=1070329053600562261&amp;amp;ei=UBNzSdv4MovKiQLxxPizBQ&amp;amp;q=endgame+"&gt;Endgame&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8250619454941053618"&gt;Ring of Power&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=-5948263607579389947&amp;amp;ei=ixNzSYGNB5-QiQLLu727BQ&amp;amp;q=terrorstorm"&gt;Terrorstorm&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=7065205277695921912&amp;amp;ei=whNzSfC0No2siAKtkIG8BQ&amp;amp;q=zeitgeist+addendum"&gt;Zietgiest&lt;/a&gt; and one of the &lt;a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3719259008768610598"&gt;Loose Change&lt;/a&gt; movies. That should get you started...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also look up 'The Creature From Jekyll Island' on You Tube, a lecture (that was originally a book) by G Edward Griffin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That should do you for now...happy research!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6735383821693864337-2363601780306018560?l=challengingyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/feeds/2363601780306018560/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/02/beginners-guide-to-nwo.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/2363601780306018560'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6735383821693864337/posts/default/2363601780306018560'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://challengingyou.blogspot.com/2009/02/beginners-guide-to-nwo.html' title='Beginners Guide to the N.W.O'/><author><name>Jon Hoff</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15218703884601180050</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='14' src='http://ab.bebo.com/ab/large/2005030813/9831954a2664179b128288488l.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735383821693864337.post-5967302948959862372</id><published>2009-02-20T09:45:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-20T09:51:59.662-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='EU'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='nwo'/><title type='text'>Eu and the End of Nations</title><content type='html'>If you are reading this and you still think your vote can effect change whether Republican, Democrat, Labour or Conservative, if you think that you live in a real democracy, if you think that Anglo-American fought wars are based on our governments moral desire to spread 'freedom' to the oppressed nations of the world and fight 'terror', if you think Bin Laden was behind 9/11,...you REALLY need to switch off your TV. Switch if off now. Stop reading the New York Times or the London Times, the Washington Post or the Observer. You ARE NOT informed on world events if this is where you get your news, views and opinions, no matter how intelligent it makes you look reading a broadsheet ;-) Unfortunately you are on the receiving end of an endless stream of lies and propaganda, corporate bile produced to a sickening agenda the magnitude of which is at minimum disturbing once fully grasped. The bias of the corpora
