Valerie Plame and Joe Wilson Speak Out on the NSA and PRISM Spy Project
We got to know them when they stood defiant against the Bush/Cheney/Scooter
Libby cabal over their government's cooked up claims about Saddam and his
supposed arsenal of weapons of mass destruction.
Joe Wilson was the former diplomat who exposed the "yellowcake" claim to be
bogus. His wife, former CIA spy, Valerie Plame, was outed as a
consequence, her career ended and her contacts put in jeopardy.
So what do Val and Joe think of the NSA's PRISM metadata scandal? Plenty.

Alberta Warned - Stop Development on Flood Plains - Nobody Listened, as Usual.
My view of Alberta's Conservative government were formed decades ago when
the issue of mandatory infant car seats came up in the legislature. Car
seats - for kids - huge controversy, really.
Conservative members were quite outspoken. Alberta motorists didn't need
any more laws tying them down. Sure infant car seats were a good idea but
that should be left up to the parents, not forced on them by the
government. The good people of Alberta had the right not to be told what
to do by their government.
It was astonishing. They were speaking up for the parents, voters, instead ... more »

How the Declaration of Independence got Hijacked
Susan Boskey
This July 4th Americans celebrate their 237th Independence Day. The
Declaration of Independence, signed during the midst of the American
Revolution in 1776, was not just a statement of grievances against the
British monarchy but also a declaration of freedom from it, citing
unalienable rights of self-governance. I said un-alienable, not
in-alienable rights. Most believe there is no real difference between the
two words. But not so fast. When unalienable was replaced with inalienable
it diminished the original intention of personal rights; among which are
“life, liber... more »
The False Flag "War On Terror"
Dees Illustration Timothy V. Gatto
The recent revelations about government intrusion into everyone's privacy
are alarming. More alarming however, are the justifications that the
government uses for invading its citizens privacy. The entire argument that
we must balance our liberty against our security is a pernicious falsehood
based on lies and propaganda.
The constant propaganda about threats to national security is what every
regime throughout history has used to keep the support of the people.
External threats from the enemy are a scare tactic that was used by the

Facebook Privacy Blunder Highlights Online Security Gaps

Facebook and the corporate media are trying to downplay a glitch that
exposed the personal information of 6 million users. The problem occurred
with their Download Your Information tool when it was revealed that
additional email addresses and telephone numbers of user contacts were
automatically shared. Facebook asserts that this gap has so far been proved
benign, since it occurred only between previously authorized contacts.
Nevertheless, it highlights the fact that even the leader of social media

Nutrition 101: How Processed Foods Make Us Fat, Malnourished, and Sick
Daisy Luther
Did you ever wonder how people who exist on a diet of mainly processed
foods can be both overweight and malnourished at the same time? Despite
overly abundant calories, people who live off of boxed macaroni and cheese,
frozen dinners, Ramen noodles, and other packaged foods aren’t getting the
nutrients that people who eat a whole foods diet are getting. Deadly GMO
ingredients aside, the sheer amount of chemicals in processed foods can
lead to disease, obesity, and malnutrition.
If you aren’t entirely familiar with the way processed foods can affect
your health, read ... more »

WHO IS THE REAL TRAITOR?
*On 1 Year, Snowden, Manning and More*
by Julian Assange
It has now been a year since I entered this embassy [Ecuador embassy in

As a result of that decision, I have been able to work in relative safety
from a US espionage investigation.
But today, Edward Snowden's ordeal is just beginning.

fatal consequences for democracy.
Government secrecy has been expanding on a terrific scale.
Simultaneously, human privacy has been secretly eradicated.

How—or Why—Do Viruses Become Lethal?

Those of us who research vaccine safety issues, which can include the

Pavlov’s Duck: Behaviorism and Control of Society
*Obedience is learned through the reinforcement of reward.*
Aaron Dykes
Do the elites control society? At the very least, they have developed
techniques to steer it, including incorporating the integrated
Pavlovian/Skinnerian conditioned response technique that has been used in
animal training and reinforced with an incentive (or scheduled reward). The
same concept works on humans, too.
The values of compliance are taught to 20th and 21st Century populations
through electronic stimulation, opiating foods, misinformation and the
illusion of choice.

Crazy Nuclear Safety
Critics of nuclear power often denounce it as unsafe, yet they very seldom
focus on answers to the question: "What can be done to make nuclear power
safer." As it turns out, it is possible to make nuclear power so safe that
there would never be a human casualty from a nuclear accident during the
entire period of human life on earth. Even at this level of safety, it
might be possible to make nuclear power even safer. This might sound
crazy, but there may be plausible reasons for adopting such safety
standards.

Will summer camp make my kids rich?
Paul Krugman, commenting on my recent article, thinks it is noteworthy that
the rich have increased their spending on child enrichment programs. To
me, that is not a surprise. The incomes of the rich have risen, and this
category of spending, like many others, has a positive income elasticity.
I am a parent of three, and as far as I know, Paul does not have any
children. So I have probably spent a lot more on this category than he
has. And I can report that much of it is consumption, not investment.

Edward Snowden departs Hong Kong for Moscow - whether he stays in Moscow , transits from there to Iceland / Cuba or any other country , the point has been made.

PUNCHING A WOMAN seems to be RCMP best-practice, when they don't have a
Taser handy. Halifax Media Co-op has a report by Miles Howe, "12 more

gas and are protesting to stop it. Grrrrrrrrr . . .
What Mattered This Week?
The Supremes held off on the headline cases this week, but decided a bunch

That's what I have. What do you think mattered this week?
OCCUPY NATURE
New documentary Grasp The Nettle shows how state inaction on climate change
fosters direct action on society’s margins.
Two years before the Occupy movement sprang forth in New York and London, a
motley group of land rights activists occupied a piece of disused land in
west London to create an alternative model of moneyless, sustainable
living. Little did they know they were about to embark on an extraordinary
journey, at once harrowing and inspiring, that would take them into the
heart of Westminster.

Manly P. Hall On Homer (From His Lecture 'Porphyry on the Wanderings of Ulysses')
Manly P. Hall on Homer:
"Thus, we have largely our knowledge or opinion of Greek religion from the
writings of Homer, and one or two other early fragments. There is a popular
story that Homer was blind. This apparently was doubted, however, as early
as the time of Plato. For already an effort had been made to understand the
inner meaning of this account. *And the philosophers of the Platonic school
and those of the Neoplatonic favored the idea that Homer's blindness was
symbolical, that it indicated not his inability to see on the objective
level but that he had voluntarily turne... more »

Heroes, fake hope, and real hope in the Matrix
Jon Rappoport
The occasion for this article is the controversy swirling around Edward
Snowden, who recently exposed secret programs of the National Security
Agency.
It’s about one corner of that controversy: should we accept him as a hero
even if the possibility exists that he isn’t?
The Matrix is designed to stimulate certain emotions.
For example: “We had a hero. Then he was taken down. Now we will feel
sadness, desolation, and eventually nostalgia for what might have been.”
For example: “We have a hero. Let’s not look too closely at what he is. Now

3 Reasons Why You Should March Against Chemtrails and Geoengineering on 8/25/13
