(NaturalNews) Ever since ordinary Americans have been able to instantly videotape any given situation, there have been powerful forces working to circumvent the Constitution and prohibit use of such technology.

The most recent example involves a California man who was tossed in jail for four days after he attempted to videotape police officers on a public street.

Autism severity may stem from fear

(Medical Xpress)—Most people know when to be afraid and when it's ok to calm down.

Even more significantly, the Brigham Young University study found that this rigid fearfulness is linked to the severity of classic symptoms of autism, such as repeated movements and resistance to change.

Cancer and stress go hand-in-hand, and high stress levels can lead to poorer health outcomes in cancer patients. The Jefferson-Myrna Brind Center of Integrative Medicine combined creative art therapy with a Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program for women with breast cancer and showed changes in brain activity associated with lower stress and anxiety after the eight-week program. Their new study appears in the December issue of the journal Stress and Health.

NEW DELHI: Hackers attacked and defaced the website of India’s IT minister on Friday amid a growing campaign against a law governing online comments which has been condemned by free-speech advocates.

An amendment to India’s Information Technology Act in 2009, which was championed by Minister Kapil Sibal, makes it illegal to make “grossly offensive” comments online, a measure seen by critics as a draconian limit on free speech.

Bolivian Pres Evo Morales: Dec 21 is the end of hatred & the beginning of love

Foreign minister Choquehuanca anticipates a new cosmic era of community spirit and love
 

My Question is:  How many other world leaders know and understand this?  How many would admit to knowing this?

In MY opinion, the massive changes that are about to happen- politically and financially/economically - are due to the fact that the world leaders KNOW what December 21, 2012 means for humanity.  The push to oust the cabal began in earnest in the spring of 2011, when the non-aligned nations met and said "NO MORE!"  I believe that these people who began incredible change over, knew exactly WHY is was necessary to break the strangle hold of the Cabal over the people of this planet.

Here is the amazing words of Bolivian President Evo Morales to the UN in September 2012

Switching gears

Posted on November 30, 2012

Well, I think it is closing in on the time to shift gears here for several reasons. The biggest reason being that we are almost at the end of our journey. I am running out of things to write about as the world is changing so fast and how I feel about things is changing so fast as well. There was a time when I hoped I could be helpful in suggesting ways to move ourselves ahead and wake up, but now it is time to just let everybody be who they are, not try to help people change themselves. We all are who we are and it is becoming quickly apparent that we are just fine the way we are. It is time to pull our noses out of the self-help books and realize there is nothing to fix. For eons we have been told we were broken and there was much to fix. What a superb distraction that turned out to be. Everybody fixated on making themselves better when in fact there was nothing wrong with them to begin with.

Research finds patterns in dramatic drop in violence over the past millennium

 

(Phys.org)—The evening news shows how dangerous a place the world can be. But Dr. Jacob Bock Axelsen of the Biomathematics Unit at Tel Aviv University's Department of Zoology says that individuals are markedly more peaceful now than throughout human history—and now he's got a mathematical model to show it. Originally designed to explain population densities of language groups, it's the first mathematical model to map the intensity of conflicts through the global demographic history of the past millennium.
