Lie Detector To Weed Out Truth From Social Media – 20 February 2014

Five European universities are working on a social media lie detector in an attempt to verify online rumors. The technology developed in the wake of the London riots is set to help not only journalists and the private sector, but also governments.

Researchers, led by Sheffield University in England, are cooperating on the system, which could automatically ascertain if a rumor can be verified and whether it originates from a reliable source. It will attempt to filter reliable factual information from social media sites like Twitter and Facebook.

The project called PHEME is being funded by the European Union and has already been in development for three years. It is named after the Greek mythological character of Pheme, who was famed for spreading rumors.

The system will classify online rumors into four different types, the group said in their press release:

– Speculation, if interest rates might rise

– Controversy, as over the possible dangers of the MMR vaccine

– Disinformation, where a rumor is spread unwittingly

– Misinformation, where there is malicious intent to deceive

Protests Continue Over Use Of Shannon Airport In Ireland – 20 February 2014

When most people think about rendition or the Second Iraq War, they tend to focus on aggression and human rights abuses perpetrated by the United States or United Kingdom. But what about those lesser-known States who acted as their facilitators?

It’s a little-known fact that one of the most accommodating nations vis-à-vis rendition and the Second Iraq War is none other than the Republic of Ireland, which has allowed over a million US troops to pass through Shannon Airport (located on Ireland’s scenic west coast) on their way to war in Iraq. Similarly, the Irish government has refused to investigate so-called rendition flights landing at Shannon. These flights are conducted by intelligence agencies, often operating under the guise of a civilian shell company, and deliver kidnapped terror suspects to black sites in developing countries where they are – in an appalling re-run of Spanish Inquisition tactics – routinely tortured and mistreated in an attempt to obtain confessions and other information.

Debt Adjusted: EU Rebrands Bankruptcy – 20 February 2014

Patrick L Young is expert in global financial markets working in multiple disciplines, ranging from trading independently to running exchanges.

Even by the acute standards of Euro-buffoonery, a new report beggars belief as the EU seeks to offend nobody but, as always, ends up running from reality.

The terrifying point about EU policy is how often some tiny kernel of idiocy can be written in a report and then find itself doing the equivalent of going viral amongst the Brussels bureaucrats prior to developing into yet another law to add to the burden of paperwork which strangles enterprise throughout the 28 nation, er, free trade zone. The EU is increasingly bound together by red tape as opposed to being free to trade with the much more competitive economies of Asia and elsewhere.

Laura Bruno – TPP – Wikileaks Has Released Another Bombshell – 20 February 2014

Thanks, Lance!

Anyone who thinks the goal of a One World Government by transnational corporations that control every area of our lives is just “conspiracy theory” needs to watch this video. “It is such a huge threat to every aspect of our lives. … Obama has intentionally tried to hide this from the American public and the press.” Flush the TPP down the toilet with intention. Repeatedly. Forget “fasttrack” unless that fasttrack’s going down the john.

HighlightsThe Philly Fed’s headline index for general conditions fell back into the negative column, to minus 6.3 vs January’s 9.4. This is the first negative reading since May.

Last month’s big 7.8 point decline in the new order index signaled the trouble for today’s report.

Unfilled orders are also in negative ground, at minus 2.6 for a 1.6 point decline from January.

Lisa Gawlas – A Little Frequency Update With Adamantine Particles Included – 20 February 2014

Can I just first say how much I love you and honor you and celebrate you… and I can go on and on and on.  How precious the facets of our radiant energy is when connected together and the pearls of wisdom and understanding that can only come thru from that infusion/connection.

As my 8am reading rolled around, I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to read or not, hell I mean speak or not!! lol  But given the ability to see thru my first sharing today, I am not about to miss an opportunity to try!!

Lisa Gawlas – High frequency Upgrades Underway! – 20 February 2014

I am finally pulling myself together after a horrific night (from the human perspective) attempting to breathe and sleep at the same time.  These last few days in my biology (and I am seeing, in so many of yours as well) has been chaotic at best, unpleasant at worst and nothing seems consistent at all.  At least in what we would call “symptoms.”

I fell into a coma like sleep about 2pm yesterday and pretty much been in and out of that kind of sleep until 5am this morning.  I would awake simply because I couldn’t breath, but at least this time, without that pesky cough.  I suppose I should be thankful for that at least.
