Sophia Love – Why Do I Empathize With War? – 6 January 2015

“At 67 years old I find my life has been aligned with the common male’s empathy with Lords of War thrashing processes of destruction but not really comprehending why. You may be of assistance in my gradual elucidation!”

Hello and thanks for this deeply felt question.  My answer has been pondered for quite some time as I’ve had the privilege to be the parent of four sons.  This allows me to watch the effect of puberty/testosterone and society on four male beings.  It may take some conversation to express in full what I understand.

There is no right or wrong.  All passions are mere expressions of the force of life itself.  We inhabit physical bodies; symphonies of muscles, organs, bones, fluids and hormones that together make us male and female.  There is a methodic tendency that influences both genders, in part inherent and as well impacted by family, society and hormonal change.

Lucas – The Duality Paradox – A Perception Of Contrast In Peace – 6 January 2015

In our individual learning processes we all will find out that playing duality and going to make choices for on or the other side will not help.  The contract of duality makes in  our duality planet and lives the factor of creation and change. Finding balance in opposites is making peace happen and finding extremes in opposites will make the choice for the one or the other work and will always mean exclusion.

We are here to learn about balancing out our duality within that reflects also the way duality is perceived on the outside of you. All the perception of the self all make together the total of perception of the world/planet we as humans live upon. The more people perceive peace and balance in duality as the way in their hearts, lives and the way the act and chose the perception of this planet will change as it will within the humans individually.

ZeroHedge – The ECB “Leaks” Its 3 QE Choices – 6 January 2015

In its usual ‘leak the plans and judge market reactions’ methodology, unnamed sources have released to Dutch newspaper Het Financieele Dagblad, three potential options that the ECB is considering for buying government bonds. As the Jan 22nd ECB meeting looms, Reuters reports that while the ECB declined to comment, this ‘strawman’ appears very similar to comments made by ECB chief economists Peter Praet last week.

Steve Lendman – US Coup In Ukraine: Oliver Stone’s Documentary – 6 January 2015

Coups are a US specialty. Replacing legitimate governments with pro-Western stooge ones.

Ukraine is Exhibit A. The latest example. America’s newest colony. For sure not the last. Washington tolerates no sovereign independent states.

Subservient ones only. Last February, longstanding US plans culminated with ousting Ukraine’s democratically elected President Viktor Yanukovich.

This writer’s edited and contributed to book “Flashpoint in Ukraine: How the US Drive for Hegemony Risks WW III” explains today’s most important geopolitical issue.

The gravest one since WW II. East/West confrontation. Possibly the unthinkable. Potential nuclear war with Russia. Madness if happens.

Oliver Stone is an award-winning screenwriter/director/film producer.

Jon Rappoport – Mind Control: The Pentagon Mission To Program The Brain – 6 January 2015

“Since the dawn of time, the most powerful groups in every society have practiced forms of mind control on populations. They determined it was necessary. Eventually, they decided it was their most important job. Convincing the masses that a fabricated reality is Reality…that task requires formidable mind control.” (The Underground, Jon Rappoport)

DARPA, the technical-research arm of the Pentagon, is leading the way in a mission to program the human brain.

What could go wrong?

In a word, everything.

Truth About Lie Detection: Scientists Develop More Accurate Method Than Polygraphs – 6 January 2015

A breakthrough method of lie detection – an all-body motion capture suit – has a success rate in tests of over 70 percent. The invention by a team of British and Dutch researchers may soon drive out the nearly 100-year-old polygraphs.

The new technology, which “records the position, velocity and orientation of 23 points in the subject’s body”, was reported in a study called ‘To freeze or not to freeze’ by researchers from four major British and Dutch universities at the Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences at Kauai Island on Monday.

The brand-new approach is based on the idea that liars fidget more, so it also utilizes non-verbal communication, like the old-fashioned polygraph. Lie-detector tests are common among the police and intelligence agencies around the world, but the technology that relies on facial tics or heart rate could be completely changed in the next decade.

John Ward – The 2015 Electathon: Why Boos And Hoorays Are Replacing Bricks And Bouquets – 6 January 2015

For the next four months, Britain will be the Over-promised Land

In order to take our minds off how profoundly f**ked we all are going forward, it has been decided to start the May General Election campaign now. The vehicle of choice when distracting the doomed used to be Christmas getting under way in September, but times have changed: things are so ghastly as we go into 2015 – see my post from yesterday – Brits would need to be tempted by a thousand bribes (a day) to destroy any remaining focus they might have.

UK Govt Handed £1Bn To Fossil Fuel Firms, Breaking Pledge – Greenpeace – 6 January 2015

The UK government gave over a billion pounds of financial backing to fossil fuel projects around the world despite a pledge to support green technologies, it has emerged.

UK Export Finance (UKEF) loans were handed out to Gazprom in Russia, state-owned oil and gas giant Petrobras in Brazil and petrochemical companies in Saudi Arabia, an investigation by Greenpeace has found.

UKEF, a government agency overseen by Liberal Democrat business minister Vince Cable, financially supported fossil fuel projects despite apparently contravening the 2010 coalition agreement, which pledged to support green technologies instead of fossil fuel.
