The (Not So) Brave New World

If ancient aliens, higher beings or multidimensional life forces did not have anything to do with the creation of life, then the current accepted scientific explanation of the evolution of life means that I should be able to throw some yeast in a field of wheat and eventually, given enough time, perfectly formed loaves of bread would appear. Why would that action be considered lunacy yet the scientific theory of the creation of life out of primordial ooze considered fact? If the solar system has remained relatively unchanged for millions of years, why are there so many ancient references to Saturn as a sun? With the naked eye, Saturn is a tiny dot of light. Why would the ancients revere, worship or respect that particular "star" in the night sky and refer to it as Sol the Sun God, Helios, the "best sun" and other similar sun referencing names. And why was this far away dot considered the God of Agriculture? Did humans originate from some place like ...

In a world where money is everything, we should have an understanding of how economics works. We are bombarded with explanations of economics and made to feel we either support the current economic rules or we are socialists, communists or terrorists. Firstly, here are the fundamentals: INFLATION , we are told ad nauseum, is good. The fact that prices are on the rise is apparently a sign that our economy is healthy. DEFLATION is bad. If prices go down our economy must be unhealthy. ECONOMIC POLICY establishes a preferred rate of inflation so we can all be happy when prices go up. ECONOMIC DATA measures a nation's success. Success is not measured by the wealth or well being of its total population but by how much profit it makes, exactly like a corporation. Employees (population) are not important, the share price (economic indicator) is. This is what they teach us from the day we start consuming. Inflation is good. Deflation is bad. We are assured that o...

There is a growing number of people that are waking up to the fact that the current system is unsustainable. The planet is being systematically destroyed, millions die from hunger, wars and curable disease, the inequality of wealth is at its peak and humanity is becoming inhumane. Politicians are owned and controlled by the Corporatocracy and the laws and policies in place are to protect profits and corporations at the expense of people. We all know the problem. The Corporations and Banksters are working to their own agenda that is destroying our liberty, our privacy and our planet.  The irony is that we are the ones who are making all of this possible. We are the ones that make the whole system work. Without us, there would be no system. We, the slaves of the Corporations and Governments, are the enablers of our Corporate Masters.  Imagine what would happen to all the Corporations, Governments and Agencies (Police, IRS, DHS, Armed Forces, etc) if we all decided not to w...

Unfortunately, Putin is correct. The US is intent on dragging Russia into a war and is using every opportunity to pit Europe against Russia.  The sanctions will hurt Europe and they will eventually be forced into supporting NATO action as the only solution to end the sanctions. So far Putin has played the situation masterfully but every move he makes is met with bluster, propaganda and bullying by the US. It is a move by the Obama administration to force European countries to choose between Russia and the US driven by the possible growth of the Russian economy through BRICS, the China Russia gas deal and the move away from the US petro dollar and reserve currency.  The US policy of not allowing any nation to become as powerful as themselves, drives the strategy of a European versus Russia war where the US can watch both sides pay a heavy price, both in economical and human terms, then profit through the supply of arms, loans and other support when the timing is right....

Once it may have been a noble act to join the Defence Force and protect your country. Today, the forces have become little more than a tool of corporatised politics that do not protect their country. Instead, they put their country in further jeopardy by creating enemies where, before, there were none. They enact futile acts of supposed revenge to satisfy politicians' bloodlust. They fight and die for the sake of oil, gas, land and dollars. Fighting in far off lands to satisfy someone else's greed, is not a noble profession. Nor is the murder of innocents for the sake of corporate profits and politicians' agendas.  Do not let your children enlist for there is nothing noble in today's wars.  They are not protecting the country. They are protecting the interests of corporations and politicians. 

In a world driven to make more profits, regardless of the moral or human cost, is it feasible that people would create and maintain wars just to make money? Isn't there a safety switch to ensure that the line is never crossed? The safety switch, which would normally be a government acting on the will of the people, seems to have been bought out by the very corporations that stand to make massive amounts of money if the wars continue. War is good business for some and any conscientious voice from the population that dares to stand against one or all of the multitude of wars in progress at this moment, is ignored or silenced. The media that we rely on to keep us informed either disregards the truth or spins it to suit their corporate sponsors. Defense companies are all doing well it seems. At a human cost too horrific to contemplate, the marćh to bigger profits continues unabated. Despite the fact that there is a growing inequity in most of the western countries, the lure of b...

As you are no doubt aware, Facebook has been caught out conducting "mind" experiments on their customers. The results of these experiments showed that people who received nothing but negative feeds became negative themselves. Pictures of dead dogs it seems creates a negative outlook. But was this experiment really necessary? Didn't we already know that? Governments and people in power have been using similar technique for centuries. Just take a look at today's Israel as an example. The Government of Israel run a strict regime and carefully manage the information they allow their citizens to have access to. From the moment they start learning, they are taught about the evils of Palestine and the threats Palestinians pose to Israel, their families and their friends. Their leaders highlight the evil nature of Hamas and the need to rid the world of all Palestinians. In fact all Arabs are evil according to the Israeli leadership. All Arabs present a very real ...
