Though largely unnoticed in Britain, a political storm is brewing in Germany

While attention in this country was focused on the delights of the Olympics, almost wholly unnoticed here has been the extraordinary drama unfolding in Germany – portending a truly seismic shift in the history of the European Union. The Germans have at last peered into the abyss that opens in front of them as a result of pouring all that money into the debts of their eurozone partners. To say that they don’t like what they see is a wild understatement.

August 17, 2012

In June the National Cancer Institute added text to its online resource "Cannabis and Cannabinoids" highlighting the role of herbal cannabinoids in killing cancer cells (apoptosis). Authors of The Cannabis Papers: a citizen's guide to cannabinoids, cite the 2003 US Cannabinoid Patent and 37 years of US evidence showing how the Cannabinoid System kills cancer.

We’ve known for quite some time the Cannabinoid System (CS) fights cancer,” noted Steve Young, member of Publius and author of Maximizing Harm: Winners and Losers in the Drug War (2000). “We’re happy to see NCI publicize this profound information 37 years after NCI first noted the anticancer properties of cannabis and the CS.”

Crescent Moon Phase - Moon in Scorpio

Today's energy asks us to see the true features - the reality - of situations.  Today is the last day that Mars will be in the sign of Libra.  While Mars has been in Libra, we've been concerned with finding and bringing balance to how we use our energy.  As Mars moves into Scorpio, we are going to change the way we use our personal power.  Remember that this month things are changing form to suit the energetic changes to our bodies that took place last month with the shifting points.  The outcome of the reformation is for the better - like the rainbow after the storm.  There's another theme at work here and it is the idea of bounty.  The photograph above was taken last night by S. Ahmad in Malaysia (posted on the spaceweather gallery).  What you cannot see in this picture (because the box automatically crops it) is the triple conjunction of Mars, Saturn, and the brightest star in the Virgo constellation - Spica.  You can see the full photograph here.  Spica has a special association with the Goddess (and the form of Mother Mary) and with abundance and fertility.  This conjunction of Mars, Saturn, and Spica is embracing us and whispering to us to let things be while they change their forms.  Everything must change form now.  You might get off track of "let it be" if you over-indulge in ANYTHING today (food, drink, vanity, negativity, fear, self-importance, self-pity...).  There is a fast remedy for this however: the goddess Sophia.  She is ready and waiting for us to stop in mid-track and surrender the need to act - to let it be.  After all, there needs to be time for the rainbow to form. (Note: Many thanks to the Oracle Report facebook community for their good wishes yesterday.)

The manuscript of survival – part 184

 

 •August 22, 2012 • 

 

As you have already noticed, things have certainly heated up in more ways than one, and they are not about to lessen in the next couple of days. The reason for all of this will soon be obvious to you all, but let us give you a little sneak preview as it were. For now, things will seem calm, but under the surface, much is going on. And when we refer to the surface, we actually refer to the surface of your planet. Much is getting ready to boil there too, as things have started to be affected in so many ways by the intense bombardement of energy that you have all sustained in these last few weeks. So, the pressure is building, and soon, something will have to give as they say.

Six CIA plans that are stranger than fiction

"The Bourne Legacy" premieres this weekend, continuing the franchise's tale of genetically modified assassins created by a top-secret government agency. But although the Bourne tales may be fiction, they're not so far off from some of the plans hatched by the CIA.

Here are six real CIA ideas that are stranger than fiction:

1. Pigeon-guided missiles
During World War II, behavioral psychologist B.F. Skinner experimented with training pigeons to steer missiles. The pigeons would be strapped into the nose cone and trained to peck the image of a target on a screen, which would keep the bomb on path.

Incredibly enough, there was initial support for the idea, but it was ultimately dismissed as impractical.

Top US Psychologist: Isolation Research Meant To Study Brainwashing

Donald O. Hebb was a pioneer American psychologist. His paper “Drives and the CNS (Conceptual Nervous System)” was one of the most quoted academic papers of his time, garnering 232 academic citations even in a period from 14-22 years after its publication.

Hebb was elected president of the American Psychological Association in 1960. But Hebb was also a major researcher for the U.S. MK-ULTRA mind-control and coercive interrogation program. His primary interest was in the study of how isolation and sensory deprivation affects mind and behavior. An excellent essay on Hebb’s career in this regard is Alfred McCoy’s 2007 article for the Journal of the History of the Behavioral Sciences, “Science in Dachau’s Shadow: Hebb, Beecher, and the Development of CIA Psychological Torture and Modern Medical Ethics” (PDF).

Romney's Death Squad Ties: Bain Launched With Funds From Oligarchs Behind Salvadoran Murders

Published on Aug 10, 2012 by democracynow

DemocracyNow.org - Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is facing new scrutiny over revelations he founded the private equity firm Bain Capital with investments from Central American elites linked to death squads in El Salvador. After initially struggling to find investors, Romney traveled to Miami in 1983 to win pledges of $9 million, 40 percent of Bain's start-up money. Some investors had extensive ties to the death squads responsible for the vast majority of the tens of thousands of deaths in El Salvador during the 1980s.

 

We're joined by Huffington Post reporter Ryan Grim, who connects the dots in his latest story, "Mitt Romney Started Bain Capital With Money From Families Tied To Death Squads." "There's no possible way that anybody in 1984 could check out these families -- which was the term that [Romney's campaign] used -- and come away convinced that this money was clean," Grim says.

Banks Finally Allowed To Count Gold As 100% Money

GFP Note: We have recently posted articles about both gold market manipulation and the fact that central governments have been buying up tons of gold.

 

Off The Grid News
August 21, 2012, by Mike

This summer, a quiet change was made to the accounting rules for gold in bank vaults. It made headlines almost nowhere, but it has the potential to dramatically change how gold is viewed relative to cash in the broader economy. For informed and prepared minds, it’s also the chance to stock up up on gold at an attractive price before the mainstream masses really process the change.


Basically, for banks, gold is now 100 percent money. How is that different than it was before? Previously, banks could only count gold as 50 percent money.

While one may wonder about the implications of the just announced "accelerated windown" of the GSEs, predicated in no small part by the surge in animosity between Tim Geithner and the FHFA's Ed DeMarco, there is one aspect of the announcement that is completely and utterly unambigious: as part of its justification to demand faster liquidation of Fannie and Freddie's "investment portfolio" Tim Geithner gave the following argument:

This will help achieve several important objectives, including... Ending the circular practice of the Treasury advancing funds to the GSEs simply to pay dividends back to Treasury

Parliamentary committee claims Bob Diamond held back evidence during hearings on the Libor rate-rigging scandal.

British parliamentarians have accused former Barclays chief executive Bob Diamond of holding back evidence during a hearing last month over the Libor rate-rigging scandal.

In a report issued on Saturday regarding the manipulation of a key inter-bank interest rate, the cross-party Treasury Select Committee claimed that Diamond offered "highly selective" evidence when he was questioned over the Libor affair.

In December, we brought you the story of Melissa Paris, a former Scientologist who we got to know after her sister Valeska's stunning claims that she'd been a virtual prisoner on Scientology's private cruise ship from 1996 to 2007.

Melissa had her own shocking tales of growing up in Scientology's "Cadet Org" in the UK. (The Paris sisters were originally from Switzerland and had been brought at a young age to England by their father, who had joined Scientology's hardcore "Sea Org.")

From Stephen Cook, The Light Agenda…”Kauilapele – Galactic Missions, Soul Music, Sexuality and That ‘Other’ Spirit – The Light Agenda Tomorrow”

Posted on 2012/08/21 

Here is Stephen’s highlight summary of tomorrow’s “The Light Agenda” show. I’m posting the text here and no photos, but please go to the 2012 Scenario link to see everything. And although the title might imply a bit of “Aretha Franklin” type music, and a bit of “sex talk”, that’s not what this was about. And Stephen explains what “That ‘Other’ Spirit” means.

And by the way, I have not changed my name to “Kuailapele” or my blog to “Kuailapele.wordpress.com”, but you all know what I mean (those darn u’s and a’s get mixed up all the time!). Also, the wonderful cats are technically my landlady’s cats, but neither of them know that. They love us all.

Thanks so much to Stephen for his wonderful extensive work in putting all this together.
