Musical Interlude: "Debussy "Clair de Lune" on Piano for 80 Year Old Blind Elephant"
*"Debussy "Clair de Lune" on Piano for 80 Year Old Blind Elephant"* by Paul Barton "Debussy "Clair de Lune" for a gentle female elephant called Ampan. Ampan is 80 years old and lives with us as Elephants World in Thailand. She is blind in one eye and can barely see with the other. 80 years old is very old indeed for an elephant, it’s about 10 years past the natural life span of an elephant in the wild." - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1qQOGCyRbY

The Event May Not Be What You Expect
I've heard and read a great deal about the supposed, upcoming Event in recent years. More and more YouTube channels are saying that the Event is imminent, or is happening now, and will entail a shift from 3D to 5D reality, that there will be a blast of white light that will influence everyone on the planet, that timelines are merging, that the Earth realm will switch from duality to unity, that twin flames will (re)unite, that there will be many high profile arrests in the news, an economic reset, and on and on it goes, in an endless chorus of pseudo-spiritual, pseudo-astrological, ... more »
Cold War Agreements Are Disintegrating
*Pavel Felgenhauer, RCD/Eurasia Daily Monitor:* *Agreements That Ended the Cold War Are Disintegrating* The North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s (NATO) Nuclear Planning Group (NPG) was probably the Alliance’s most important and secretive institution during the Cold War. Notably, it worked out NATO members’ joint strategy and tactics for using non-strategic nuclear weapons in a possible all-European war with the Soviet-led Warsaw Pact. Such a confrontation seemed all too possible—and sometimes almost inevitable—during acute crisis situations that brought the Cold War opponents to t... more »

"Danger..."
"At the approach of danger there are always two voices that speak with equal force in the heart of man: one very reasonably tells the man to consider the nature of the danger and the means of avoiding it; the other, even more reasonable, says that it is too painful and harassing to think of the danger, since it is not a man's power to provide for everything and escape from the general march of events; and that it is therefore better to turn aside from the painful subject till it has come, and to think of what is pleasant. In solitude a man generally yields to the first voice; in so... more »

Taxpayer Money Used to Fund Drug Research – Drug Companies Robbing Americans
The high cost of prescription drugs has recently made headlines, evidenced by price-gouging schemes that cause drug prices to skyrocket 5,000% (as in the case with the infamous Martin Shkreli and the drug Daraprim) or Mylan’s more recent price hike on EpiPen’s to over $600 for a two-pack. What’s often left out of these stories, however, is how the federal government helped the pharmaceutical industry have this kind of power over drug pricing by allowing the industry to take advantage of publicly-funded research.

A Defence of BBC Question Time
The BBC is biased toward establishment politics. As Tom Mills points out in his excellent *BBC Myth of a Public Service*, it has always protected establishment interests and is now a thoroughly neoliberal institution to boot. That doesn't mean, however, the political leanings and assumptions underpinning the culture of BBC journalism are on show at all times. Part of the corporation's professional *ethos* is a standard of impartiality and balance, and while it often falls short I've met enough BBC journalists to know this is taken seriously by thousands of its employees.

Collusion Is Not a Crime, Trump Campaign Argues
Back in May 2018, a lawyer for the Trump campaign stood before a federal judge and cheerfully hinted at a version of the same argument that Rudy Giuliani had suggested repeatedly to the public: Even if the Trump campaign did collude with the Russians, so what? The lawyer’s point was that any “collusion” between the campaign and Wikileaks or the Russian government regarding the release of hacked emails would constitute protected First Amendment activity. The case, *Cockrum v. Trump*, was soon dismissed from the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia for unrelated reasons:... more »
