"Have You Ever Wondered How You Were Going To Make It To The Next Paycheck?"

noreply@blogger.com (Coyote Prime) at Running 'Cause I Can't Fly - 23 hours ago
*"Have You Ever Wondered How You Were Going * *To Make It To The Next Paycheck?"* - Michael Snyder "America is becoming a very cold place. If you don’t have money, you don’t really matter much in our society. The ads on television aren’t for you – they are directed at people that actually have good jobs and that can afford to buy the nice little “extras” in life. The politicians aren’t really interested in you either – they figure that they can buy your vote with all of the money that they are getting from the wealthy people. When you don’t have money, even friends and relatives sta... more »

"A Meter Is Running..."

noreply@blogger.com (Coyote Prime) at Running 'Cause I Can't Fly - 23 hours ago
"The monstrous thing is not that men have created roses out of this dung heap, but that, for some reason or other, they should want roses. For some reason or other man looks for the miracle, and to accomplish it he will wade through blood. He will debauch himself with ideas, he will reduce himself to a shadow if for only one second of his life he can close his eyes to the hideousness of reality. Everything is endured- disgrace, humiliation, poverty, war, crime, ennui- in the belief that overnight something will occur, a miracle, which will render life tolerable. And all the while a...more »

"The Entire Western World Lives In Cognitive Dissonance"

noreply@blogger.com (Coyote Prime) at Running 'Cause I Can't Fly - 23 hours ago
*"The Entire Western World Lives In Cognitive Dissonance"* by Paul Craig Roberts "In this column I am going to use three of the current top news stories to illustrate the disconnect that is everywhere in the Western mind. Let us begin with the family separation issue. The separation of children from immigrant/refugee/asylum parents has caused such public outcry that President Trump has backed off his policy and signed an executive order terminating family separation. The horror of children locked up in warehouses operated by private businesses making a profit off of US taxpayers, w... more »

Councillor Who said Islamic State Doesn't Exist Given Anti-Terror Role

Not a sheep at Not a sheep - 23 hours ago
A few years ago this sort of news would have shocked me but now it's just par for the course. This is along the lines of Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Syria being elected to United Nations positions on women etc. 'Birmingham council has appointed a controversial Muslim Labour member who has previously claimed that Islamic State does not exist and has dismissed Islamist attacks to a committee tasked with protecting children from radicalisation and terrorism. Safia Akhtar Noor was suspended and then forced to resign as a school governor at Yew Tree Community School in Birmingham after seve... more »

Michael Turton at The View from Taiwan - 23 hours ago
Bookish Asia has an author interview with the brilliant Tonio Andrade, who has written extensively and beautifully on the turbulent 17th century. What’s interesting is that the Dutch colony on Taiwan was, in the 1640s and early 1650s, one of the most profitable of the Dutch East India Company’s holdings, but by the mid-1650s, and especially moving into the late 1650s, it became less profitable. In part this was because the Zheng family organization was increasingly carrying out trade embargoes, and competition heated up. But in part it had to do with the changing pattern of trade, a... more »

Greg Hunter, “Weekly News Wrap-Up 6/22/18”

*“Weekly News Wrap-Up 6/22/18”* By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com "The Democrats and their mainstream media (MSM) lackeys are grasping at straws with the border battle with Trump. The vast majority of Americans want immigration enforcement, not more illegal immigration, which comes with a high price tag in the form of welfare. The MSM ignores the separation and children lost in the system under the Obama Administration and is only looking for a vote getting issue come November. They are not going to get it and are left with, as the President says, “terrible policies.” All the atten... more »

"The Great Canadian Shoe Heist"

noreply@blogger.com (Coyote Prime) at Running 'Cause I Can't Fly - 23 hours ago
*"The Great Canadian Shoe Heist"* by Bill Bonner "Yesterday, when the Chinese woke up and heard The Donald threatening to impose an import tax on Chinese-made goods, they practically fell out of bed. There’s a 10% daily circuit-breaker limit in the Chinese stock market. As the name suggests, when stocks fall too far, too fast, they flip a ‘circuit breaker’. Trading stops to stem the losses. By the end of the day, more than 1,000 Chinese stocks had hit it. US investors were worried, too. Our message for today: They should be. After falling for five days in a row, the Dow slid almost... more »

Ancient History - The future has already happened - Rewriting our past.

Mike Philbin at Mike Philbin's free planet blog - 1 day ago
in this charmingly cogent video gently narrated by Barry Fitzgerald the topic of THE MISDIRECTION OF OUR HISTORY is discussed. This *Misdirection*, Barry insists is reinforced by those who report upon our history, write our history books and teach our children what's supposed to have happened. Barry takes his cue from the work of Silvie Ivanova who has put out many Ancient History videos through her hypnotic NEW EARTH youtube channel, several of which I've already featured here on the Free Planet blog.

Chapter 18 Intro to the World’s Pedophilia Epicenter: United Kingdom and its Soccer Pedophilia Epidemic

Joachim Hagopian at American Empire Exposed - 1 day ago
Though each child victim’s story is uniquely tragic in its own devastating way, in far more ways their stories are the same, regardless of sport, perpetrator, nation or time of crime. Sports pedophilia scandals as depicted by mainstream news always casts one abhorrent deviant predator who for many decades exploits both his authority and reputation to get away with chronically abusing multiple generations of children before ultimately being exposed and spending the rest of his life behind bars. The power differential between each authority figure, most often a renowned coach, and ... more »

"What are these humans doing? Dancing. Many humans on Earth exhibit periods of happiness, and one method of displaying happiness is dancing. Happiness and dancing transcend political boundaries and occur in practically every human society. Above, Matt Harding traveled through many nations on Earth, started dancing, and filmed the result. The video is perhaps a dramatic example that humans from all over planet Earth feel a common bond as part of a single species. Happiness is frequently contagious - few people are able to watch the above video without smiling." - http://apod.nasa.gov... more »

Midnight Meme Of The Day!

And now a word about Herr Trump's favorite slogan; "America First": As a slogan, "America First" came to major prominence in the late 1920s. It was the slogan most often used by the Ku Klux Klan. The Klan didn't invent the slogan. In fact, as early as 1916, Woodrow Wilson, a man of racist persuasions, used it as his platform. Presidents Coolidge and Harding used it as well, with various implications. Even as far back as President McKinley, the slogan was in use, but, it wa... more »

St. Clair County Bigfoot

This is a Bigfoot, sure enough and here we have a clear incidence in which the Big foot understood a couple of girls had become lost and then led them to safety. We have seen evidence of this before butnot a specific confirmation. This particular creaure also went out of the way to make its presence known and yes it also harvested some of the livestock. I think that this happens more often than understood as it is easy enough to simply blame a coyote or dog. We have the ability to actually trade with these creatures and they would actually welcome it. We need forest grooming... more »

Evidence Suggesting David Icke Is Actually Right About Reptilian Aliens

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 1 day ago
I am not particularly fond of the reptilian meme but the Pope's audience chamber is a blatant application of symbolism that is not congruent with Christianity and speaks to a deeper conspiracy to subvert the hierarchy of the Catholic church in particular. This certainly has been linked to the NPC or the Natural Pedophile Conspiracy and we have had ample reports of aspects of satanism drawn into that milieu as well. None of this though requires a single alien at all but easily uses the alien meme to provide a higher authority to convince followers. all the underlying symbolism ha... more »

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 1 day ago
In terms of the implied scale all this can not be true. At best we expect plausible local application when best conditions apply. As far as test results are concerned, the principal component of global dust happens to be aluminum based minerals which after all represent twenty five percent of the crust. They are also the lightest components. The claim that refined alumina is involved is suspect and way too expensive to use. The other elements mentioned are all available naturally including many from sea salt. I really need to see the lab work done of snow dust recoveries a... more »

This is excellent advice and certainly reflects much of what i myself have learned. To actually focus on creating duality is sound and this is what therapists surely do without quite spelling it out.

But knowing that and merely becoming objective regarding the junk thoughts stumbling through your awareness begins the process of transformation. this is hugely assisted by meditation.. *Transcending Inadequacy: Healing... more »

"We're all susceptible to it, the dread and anxiety of not knowing what's coming.

Just whatever you do, stop worrying. Because the only cure for paranoia is to be here, just as you are." - Dr. Meredith Grey, "Grey's Anatomy"

Space Force, A Service Of Warrior Geeks. An Opinion On Uniforms and Insignia with Practical Justifications.

Hontas Farmer at Science 2.0 - Physical Sciences - 1 day ago
*E*very Branch of the service has ranks and uniforms which reflect their history, mission, and culture. A potential space force would not be any different in this regard. Consider the lineage it would have being mainly influenced by the US Air Force, the US Navy, and NASA. Each has a rank structure of some kind. It may be wise to establish a “space force” as a corps not within the Air Force... but within NASA, much as NOAA and NPHS have had for a long time. Here is my take on how this could or should look.

Too much sanity may be madness - and maddest of all: to see life as it is, and not as it should be!" - Miguel de Cervantes in "Man of La Mancha"
