Be Afraid: Russia and China Seek To Put In Place Top-Down Regulation Of The Internet

It's a bunch of countries who are seeking to use the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) to create a top-down regulatory scheme for the internet.

This issue is going to pick up steam pretty quickly in the next few months, so educate yourselves now...

McDowell highlights a few of the key points in the plan:

Vultures stomp human remains

Post by Tomas »

Texas vulture study upends forensics

-snips from story-
The vulture study, conducted on 26 acres near the south-central Texas campus, stemmed from previous studies that used dead pigs, which decompose much like humans. Scientists set up a motion-sensing camera that captured the vultures jumping up and down on the woman's body, breaking some of her ribs, which investigators could also misinterpret as trauma suffered during a beating.

Researchers are monitoring a half-dozen other corpses in various stages of decomposition, and they have a list of about 100 people prepared to donate their bodies to the project, which the school says is the first of its kind to study vultures.

At the farms, forensic pathologists observe the decomposition process in natural surroundings to see how corpses react to sun and shade, whether they decay differently on the surface or below ground and what sort of creatures - from large to microscopic - are involved.

The body in the vulture study was that of Patty Robinson, an Austin woman who died of breast cancer in 2009 at age 72. She donated her remains to research, and they were placed in a five-acre fenced area.

Her son, James, said the Texas State research seemed like a worthy project.

She's be delighted "if she could come back and see what she's been doing," he said. "All of us are pretty passionate about knowing the truth."

As for the vulture research, "we're not a particularly squeamish lot," he added.

The Stages of the Soul

Post by Tomas »

The Stages of the Soul and How Religiosity-Fundamentalism is Holding up Evolution

Jesus was never a Christian; in fact the term 'Christian' was not even coined until the days of Paul, about 3 decades after Jesus walked the earth as a man. Jesus was a social justice, radical revolutionary Palestinian devout Jewish road warrior who rose up and challenged the job security of the Temple authorities by teaching the people they did NOT need to pay the priests for ritual baths or sacrificing livestock to be OK with God; for God already LOVED them just as they were: sinners, poor, diseased, outcasts, widows, orphans, refugees and prisoners all living under Military Occupation.

Stage one upon this journey -that begins from within-is essentially our infancy in the spiritual life. Like a wild child, a person in this stage reflects the inner chaotic and anti-social, unregenerate soul that is much like the stereotypical spoiled child.

Stage one people may claim to love others, but their behavior reflects they love their own pleasure, money, power, prestige, and security above any other. For stage one people, it really is all about them.

Stage two souls seek to

Seven questions to the 14th Dalai Lama

Post by Tomas »

BEIJING, March 24 (Xinhua) -- China's major Tibetan website http://www.tibet.cn has published a harsh commentary which criticises the 14th Dalai Lama for instigating self-immolation and advocating Nazi-style racial segregation ideas.

Editor's note: It is a universal rule that all religions and their sects should forbid murdering and telling lies, and protect the interests of the country and its people.

It is also a rule of Buddhism and a common understanding that life should be cherished and truth should be respected. However, reviewing some remarks and actions of the 14th Dalai Lama in recent years, the writer cannot help raising some questions to him.

The following is the full text of the commentary:

Dental X-rays

Post by Tomas »

WASHINGTON, April 10 (Xinhua) -- People who received frequent dental x-rays in the past have an increased risk of developing meningioma, according to a study published online Tuesday in Cancer, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society.

Additionally, researchers report that there was an even greater risk of meningioma in patients who reported having a panorex x-ray exam.

California state mental hospitals plagues by peril

"We're not only not providing people help, we're making people sicker,"

A costly federal effort to reduce heavy drugging and improper restraining fails to improve care and help patients control violent impulses. Instead, assaults by patients mount and confinements grow longer.

"Can you smell this freedom now?"

American Slaves, Our Real Destiny

Nothing Biblical About It, It Is Forced Breeding Of Slaves

Americans can't talk about race, not without making total asses of themselves. Europeans are worse.

Most "whites" came to America as slaves, not "indentured" as we are taught. They stayed slaves for life with only a few being freed.

America was built on "the enlightenment," the move in Europe against Christianity, toward science and learning, this is all who the founding fathers were.

Individual colonies were Catholic or Quaker but America was never meant to be white, only free of religion in government.

There isn't a single word in the constitution about race but lots about religion. We didn't want any part of it. We had seen it destroy the world for 1700 years, and it has gotten only worse since.

Physicist: HAARP Manipulates Time

Post by Tomas »

A brilliant physicist published a revolutionary paper citing 30 other scientific papers that reveal HAARP has incredible powers beyond what most investigators of the high frequency energy technology suspect. Dr. Fran De Aquino asserts a fully functional HAARP network, activated globally, can not only affect weather and geophysical events, but influence space and gravity... even time itself! Now the network is almost complete with the activation of the newest HAARP facilities at the bottom of the world: the desolate and alien Antarctic. Will the masters of HAARP become the masters of time too?

The most dangerous man in the world may be Brazilian physicist Dr. Fran De Aquino.

De Aquino hasn't developed a death ray or obtained secret launch codes to the world's nuclear missiles. He's done something potentially much worse: he's spilled the scientific and technological beans of the greatest secret in the world: the ultimate purpose of HAARP.
