Wow!

“The NSA has no constitutional right to secretly obtain the telephone records of every citizen on a daily basis, subject them to sophisticated data mining and store them forever. It’s time government officials are charged with criminal conduct, including lying to Congress, instead of going after those exposing the wrongdoing.” -James Bamford, NSA expert @ http://goo.gl/f0RvDe

Love means forever. What a lovely photo! http://www.naturalnews.com/031269_joy_health.html


Love each other, y'all. Or at least be kind.

Thanks Give a Shit about Nature for the image!

Mind-expanding video...

While we work to restore liberty and curtail illegal surveillance and frightening post-9/11 laws, it's important to remember our amazing privilege to be part of the human community at the height of our technology & interconnectedness as a species.

From the video description: "Humans are part of the natural order. We're risen apes that acquired language and learned to use tools. Skyscrapers and spacecraft may seem unnatural, but they're just as much a part of the natural order as beaver dams and bird nests. Boring electrical lines hint at the energy solution of a mammalian species. Open your eyes to the world you've grown accustomed to, and rejoice in the fact that you can participate in the human project."

"The best film of the summer isn't an epic tale of horror or adventure, but an eye-opening, heart-moving and mind-expanding reminder that millions of people in this richest country in the world don't have enough to eat. The film's called A Place At The Table, and it's one of the best documentaries I've seen in years." -BM

A Kansas sinkhole swallowed a pasture as it continues to grow. As previously reported by The Inquisitr, a car was swallowed by a Kansas sinkhole in Toledo and the driver got away. But one man in New Jersey wasn't so lucky when a New Jersey sinkhole swallowed him alive. A Kansas sinkhole measuring 200 feet across and 90 feet deep has been spotted in Wallace County. The Kansas sinkhole is apparently still growing so the town sheriff is warning people to stay away. Officials are still waiting on experts to come out and examine the Kansas sinkhole. They're not sure what has caused it since there's no nearby irrigation wells or oil drilling happening anywhere in the region. Whatever the cause, large cracks are spider-webbing their way along the edge of the giant Kansas sinkhole. Fortunately, no one has been reported as being injured from the Kansas sinkhole. But locals continue to visit the sinkhole as it grows, so the landowner is attempting to stop the curious from visiting before someone gets hurt. Local resident Gavin Mote says it's not that obvious how big the Kansas sinkhole is until you see it in person: "I'd seen pictures and I knew it was deep, but I didn't think it was this deep. You get out here and you get a whole different perspective on how deep it is." In the end, the local residents are calling the Kansas sinkhole a "God thing."

In some industries, the damage actually outstrips the value of products created : think of the profit of 73 tankers of US fracked Oil vs the cost to the citizens; the town and the business destroyed in Quebec ?

Without Harper and the CPC issuing a 'special permit' in May 2012 : this disaster could not have happened : what corporate media does not report ; Corporate Homicide and planetary destruction ; they ought to pay for it if they are allowed to do it, not taxpayer's !
had to properly account for the real costs of doing business; taxpayer's and future generations should not pay their profits now SMOKE and MIRRORS CORPORATE ACCOUNTING: MM&A and Lac Megantic ought to be a lesson .. August 3rd 2013

"Businesses use water from rivers and lakes, without replacing what they take. They put pollution in the atmosphere and don’t pay associated health care bills.

These are "externalities," or uncompensated costs, that pose an increasing risk to the planet, as well as to companies themselves, according to a new report.

If you put a financial figure to the 100 most serious environmental impacts that industry doesn’t currently pay for--everything from greenhouse gases to land pollution--the number is huge: $4.7 trillion a year.

Greenhouse gases make up the largest share (38%), followed by water use (25%), land use (24%), and air pollution (7%), according to Trucost, the research firm that prepared the study. The report was published by the United Nations-backed TEEB for Business Coalition, which wants to establish "natural capital accounting" alongside traditional balance sheets.

The report looks at extractive industries like forestry, fisheries, and mining, and processing ones like cement and steel, comparing natural costs and revenues regionally. East Asian coal power generation has $453 billion in costs and only $443.1 in revenue. Cattle ranching and farming in South America has $354 billion in costs, and just $17 billion in revenue. North American coal has $317 billion in costs, and $66 billion in revenue.

This poses an inherent risk to investors, the study says, as companies could not afford to meet costs if they had to (say, if regulators got tough). That, in turn, would probably raise prices at the grocery, and the pump.

"No high-impact region-sectors generate sufficient profit to cover their environmental impacts. Therefore if unpriced natural capital costs are internalized, a large proportion would have to be passed on to consumers."

"The risk to agricultural commodity prices is particularly striking, where the natural capital cost is universally higher than the revenue of the sectors."

Scientists from the US Department of Agriculture as well as the University of Maryland published a study this past week that linked chemicals, including fungicides, to the large scale die-off of bees that has recently plagued the planet, you can read that study here. It’s not just the United States, Elmwood Canada also recently reported a discovery of over 30 million dead bees. The massive bee deaths in Elmwood came shortly after approximately 50 thousand bees were found dead in an Oregon parking lot. If we look overseas, the United Kingdom recently recorded its largest ever honey bee loss in history.


A fascinating documentary, "Cancer - The Forbidden Cures", exposes the corruption of the cancer industry and the extreme measures they will undertake to discredit, imprison, and professionally destroy any physician who treats cancer patients naturally. http://bit.ly/19BhNUI


"...free enquiry in science is all but extinct. In reality, only a tiny proportion of research in biology gets done outside of straightjackets imposed by funding agencies. Researchers design their projects around funding programs; universities organize their hiring around them, and every experiment is carefully designed to bolster the next grant application.

The consequences of this dynamic are that individual scientists have negligible power within the system; but more importantly it opens a route by which powerful political or commercial forces can surreptitiously set the science agenda from above.

In the case of medical genetics that power has been used to deform our understanding of human nature itself. Thus public money has bought not scientific ‘progress’ but the domination of intellectual inquiry by an entirely malevolent project, conceived fully outside of science. This project was intended only to ensure political paralysis and the consolidation of economic power and whatever agenda scientists thought they were following was entirely incidental. What we observe is in fact a full-blown enlightenment malfunction."
