Rothschild Plot To Crash African Nation’s Economy Revealed
A Wikileaks cable uncovered by Your News Wire revealed that the Rothschilds were involved in a corrupt billion dollar money laundering plot in Africa designed to benefit the country’s elite while at the same time crashing the nation’s economy. The lives of millions of Senegalese people were expected to be thrown into economic chaos, all so the nation’s ruling family, with their Rothschild connections, could “wash” and pocket a “cool and corrupt” $1.2 billion dollars. The secretive Rothchilds are rarely in the news and never publicly rebuked by their minions in government, however the... more »

"A Look to the Heavens"
“While hunting for comets in the skies above 18th century France, astronomer Charles Messier diligently kept a list of the things he encountered that were definitely not comets. This is number 27 on his now famous not-a-comet list. In fact, 21st century astronomers would identify it as a planetary nebula, but it's not a planet either, even though it may appear round and planet-like in a small telescope. Messier 27 (M27) is an excellent example of a gaseous emission nebula created as a sun-like star runs out of nuclear fuel in its core. The nebula forms as the star's outer layers are... more »
Free Download: Mark Twain, "Letters From the Earth"
*Mark Twain’s “Letters From the Earth”* by Wikipedia “Letters from the Earth” is one of Mark Twain’s posthumously published works. The essays were written during a difficult time in Twain’s life; he was deep in debt and had lost his wife and one of his daughters. Initially, his daughter, Clara Clemens, objected to its publication in March 1939, probably because of its controversial and iconoclastic views on religion, claiming it presented a “distorted” view of her father. Henry Nash Smith helped change her position in 1960. Clara explained her change of heart in 1962 saying that “M... more »

Chet Raymo, "Lessons"
"Lessons" by Chet Raymo "There is a four-line poem by Yeats, called "Gratitude to the Unknown Instructors": "What they undertook to do They brought to pass; All things hang like a drop of dew Upon a blade of grass." Like so many of the short poems of Yeats, it is hard to know what the poet had in mind, who exactly were the unknown instructors, and if unknown how could they instruct. But as I opened my volume of The Poems this morning, at random, as in the old days people opened the Bible and pointed a finger at a random passage seeking advice or instruction, this is the poem that p... more »
The Poet: Rainer Maria Rilke, "A Walk"
*"A Walk"* "My eyes already touch the sunny hill. going far ahead of the road I have begun. So we are grasped by what we cannot grasp; it has inner light, even from a distance- and changes us, even if we do not reach it, into something else, which, hardly sensing it, we already are; a gesture waves us on answering our own wave... but what we feel is the wind in our faces." - Rainer Maria Rilke

"Declaring Our Intentions: Ready For Change"
*"Declaring Our Intentions: Ready For Change"* by Madisyn Taylor, The DailyOM "If you are feeling stuck in your life and are ready for change, take time to declare to the Universe that you are ready. There comes a point in most of our lives when we feel ready to experience a change we’ve had trouble carrying out. Maybe we’ve been stuck in a home, a relationship, job, or a town that hasn’t felt right for a long time, but we’ve been unable to shift our circumstances in the direction we want to go. At times like this, it can help to declare to the universe that we are ready for a chang... more »

We’re either moving towards what we want, or we’re moving away from what we don’t want. It might seem like moving away from what you don’t want accomplishes the same thing as moving towards what you do want. If you’re successfully moving away from pain, dullness and disappointment, what could you be moving towards, other than pleasure, excitement and fulfillment? It should be a simple matter to decide which way to g...more »

New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte and Arizona Sen. John McCain were both asked if Mr. T could be trusted with the nuclear codes and each-- clearly embarrassed, since both understand that he absolutely can't but are afraid his legions of fans will hurt their reelection bids-- refused to answer.

When did homes start becoming unaffordable?
When did homes start becoming unaffordable? Good question. From 1957 to the late-1980s the median New Zealand house price was between two-to-three times the median annual household income. Back then they were affordable.(A city’s housing affordability is generally defined as having the median house price less than or around three times the median income.) By the late 1990s, the average house price had already risen to four times the average household income, and houses began becoming inexorably unaffordable. It wasn’t until 2008 however that headlines began happening and home... more »

Too few unemployed
Controversy in the Parliament this week as politicians accuse each other of lying. It would be a rarer thing if they weren’t. Labour’s Grant Robertson accused National of manipulating unemployment figures to make them look better. *In a media release Robertson, Labour’s finance spokesman, said National was “actively massaging official unemployment statistics” by changing the measure for joblessness to exclude those using websites, such as Seek or TradeMe.* There was manipulation going on, but not any that Robertson was headline-hunting about.

Stop The Hypocrisy: Medical Marijuana Advocates Take On DEA
The Drug Enforcement Agency refused to relax restrictions on cannabis last week, meaning marijuana will remain Schedule 1 — the strictest category of the Controlled Substances Act, designated for dangerous and addictive drugs with no medical value — in spite of growing evidence that marijuana is relatively safe and medically useful. The DEA is claiming marijuana lacks medical value. If that’s true, why did the U.S. government file a patent for cannabis — stating that the plant has multiple therapeutic benefits — way back in 1999?

Obama Just Hinted That He May Serve A Third Term

Iraq’s Use Of Chemical Weapons In Iran-Iraq War And Their Western Origin
Several western countries and companies assisted Iraq when it set out to build its chemical weapons programs in the 1970s.

Olympic Fun
Since I missed all the Olympics while in Korea I found this piece to be quite a laugh. Years ago at an international peace conference in Greece I learned that the Olympics were originally founded as a disarmament policy. Each year the winner of the Greek city-state games had to go home and tear down the walls surrounding their city. Wouldn't it be great if the cumulative winner of the Olympics these days had to go home and totally disarm!? If that was the case the US likely wouldn't be spending alot of time and energy trying to get Russia banned from the games. Bruce

Nukes at Incirlik: Congressional Briefing - Power? Blockade?
*I'm having a bit of difficulty accepting the continued fear mongering narrative regarding nukes and Incirlik airbase - What's the real situation with these bombs? What about the blockade? What about the power situation? Took the time to search this morning and from all reports I could find there is presently no blockade of Incirlik. The power has been on since July 23/2016. And the nukes according to a report to congress are quite safe.

How pop science manipulates with the status of the Schrödinger equation
In a blog post, Sean Carroll says that you should love or respect the Schrödinger equation and you should appreciate that the Schrödinger equation may be applied in a wider range of situations, not just in the non-relativistic of mechanics of point-like particles. I agree with these two points. You could wonder why Sean Carroll hasn't written down the simple sentence in the first paragraph of this blog post and instead, added some three pages of redundant text. Well, it's because he needed to keep the percentage of misconceptions and distortions well above 50%, just like in almos... more »
