"Reporter" Outed As CIA Propagandist, Continues To Work For America's Largest News Agency

will's picture

If anybody needs proof of exactly how corrupt the U.S. media is, here you go: Back in September it was revealed that "reporter" Ken Dilanian was not only running his stories by the CIA, but actually conversing with them "about how the CIA could bend public opinion of drone strikes their way". Dilanian was one of the main people spreading the atrocious lie that drone strikes were only killing the "bad guys" and no innocents were being harmed. After he was outed by The Intercept, his employer, the LA Times, made a big show of publicly denouncing and firing him, as if he was some isolated problem and now we can trust the mainstream media again.

So he's no longer a reporter, right? No real newspaper would actually hire someone who's been outed as willingly spreading military propaganda, right? Any newspaper that does that would lose all credibility, at least in the minds of an informed populace. Well, it turns out he's still employed by the Associated Press, still writing articles, and still spreading pro-CIA military propaganda. Even big name news sources like the New York Times, ABC News, San Francisco Chronicle, CBS News, Al Jazeera, and hundreds of others still publish his stories.

The mainstream media isn't even trying to hide their corruption anymore...

Fine and Dandy

How are you today? Why not be fine and dandy! Are you not alive and living in the world? Truly, life on Earth doesn’t have to be a hardship. Will there be storms? Yes, there are storms, and you ride out the storms. You always weather what life brings. When you are in a tunnel, there is always an end to it. When you have blinders on, you can take them off, or they will come off by themselves or they are torn off. Life changes.

When you are wounded, do you not heal?

Life on Earth is not always a piece of cake. True enough. Regardless, you can be fine and dandy. The thing is that you are fine and dandy. The last time I looked, you are doing fine even as you may not see the forest for the trees, even as you may see only so far as you can see.

You have been told to live in the present, in this very moment. In this very moment, you are okay. You get into trouble when you look to the past and when you look to the future. You can’t live in the past, and you can’t live in the future. Any time you spend in the past, there is memory, and you feel either longing or you feel regret. Life moves fast, and you are to move with it.

Living in the future is either longing or fear and doubt. By golly, you have to let go of the past. Desire the future. Look forward to it. Don’t worry about it as you often do, all the what if’s. Desire what you desire and not hold on to it so tight. Do not add worry of the future to your life. The future will come to you as it comes. Be open.

To me, "this" plus "that" is God. That's why I say very contradictory things. I would like to give you two things: roots into this earth, into all that is earthly, and wings into that heaven, into all that is abstract for you now, into all that you cannot even comprehend, that cannot be conceptualized. Roots into the finite, wings into the infinite... And you need not renounce "this." If you renounce "this," you are renouncing your roots. That has happened; that is why your monks, your sadhus, look so dead. They have renounced "this;" they are uprooted beings. Uproot a tree and you are exposing the part that was hidden in the earth. Soon the flowers will die, the branches will die, the leaves will start falling.

Levitation Is Now A Reality Thanks To Quantum Mechanics

levitation

Levitation is thought of as an act of magic. Magicians have used the idea of levitation as their prime act in many shows around the world but most of the time the act has been nothing but a trick of the eye. In most people’s opinions, levitation cannot really be accomplished. However, now it seems that it is quite real, and it can be done without magic. Science shows us how.

The experiment

The act of levitating objects is simple in procedure, but it is necessary to understand the role of physics in the idea. An experiment conducted by Harvard physicist Subir Sachdev shows how levitation can indeed be done with the implementation of three basic tools: magnets, liquid nitrogen and a superconductor.

How Every Part of American Life Became a Police Matter

From the workplace to our private lives, American society is starting to resemble a police state.

If all you've got is a hammer, then everything starts to look like a nail. And if police and prosecutors are your only tool, sooner or later everything and everyone will be treated as criminal. This is increasingly the American way of life, a path that involves "solving" social problems (and even some non-problems) by throwing cops at them, with generally disastrous results. Wall-to-wall criminal law encroaches ever more on everyday life as police power is applied in ways that would have been unthinkable just a generation ago.

By now, the militarization of the police has advanced to the point where "the War on Crime" and "the War on Drugs" are no longer metaphors but bland understatements. There is the proliferation of heavily armed SWAT teams, even in small towns; the use of shock-and-awe tactics to bust small-time bookies; the no-knock raids to recover trace amounts of drugs that often result in the killing of family dogs, if not family members; and in communities where drug treatment programs once were key, the waging of a drug version of counterinsurgency war...

Alfalfa is associated with earthly providence because its roots penetrate so deep into the dirt. Adding fresh alfalfa sprouts to a meal is thought to ground etheric energies and increase the physical sustenance of foods. Alfalfa tea is a stress-reducing infusion that works by calming nerve endings to relieve the pain of arthritis and neuralgia. [Earth ++]

Two Supermarkets Deviate from the Status Quo

Waking Times

Video – These two inspiring London supermarkets support the production of safe, healthy food by sourcing food locally, or growing it themselves. Their efforts are a perfect example that we don’t have to rely on Big Agra and multi-national food producers but can take back control over our food chain.

Attachments: Breaking Free from What’s Weighing You Down

identifying-attachments

“The root of suffering is attachment”- Buddha

Attachments come in many forms; so much so that there are probably hundreds of attachments you are holding on to right now that you had no idea even existed. They come in the form of anything from beliefs (about ourselves and others), expectations of how situations should go or ways people should behave, to more obvious things like relationships & material possessions.

Anytime we are dead set on something happening, or are holding on to an idea, belief or plan, or object so tightly that we are unable to entertain any other points of view or options of outcomes, this is an indication that we have formed an attachment.

What we may not realize, however, is that in doing so we are also setting ourselves up to experience some level of suffering...

The Fear of Fear: How To Beat It

fear (1)
Julian Rose, Contributor
Waking Times

Fear is real enough isn’t it?

I mean, there are times when each one of us feels ‘afraid’. If we didn’t we most probably wouldn’t be around to tell tell the story.

Biological fear is instinctual – but non biological fear is not instinctual. So firstly we have to sort these two out. Fear as an instinct is that inner warning bell – or shiver – which tells us that we are probably or actually – in danger. It needs heeding.

But fear also comes as something superimposed. A form of indoctrination which renders us fearful about things which we have no business being fearful about. And it is this type of fear that we need to get a grip on – and ultimately reject completely.

Proof Positive: Our Thoughts, Emotions Affect Our Physiological Health

proof-positive-our-thoughts-emotions-affect-our-physiological-health

We have known that cognitive bias (where we live, if we are a man or woman, our cultural and religious leanings etc.) colors how we interact with the world since Plato, but scientists are now continuously finding that emotions may have more to do with our physical health than anything else.

HOW THOUGHTS, EMOTIONAL HEALTH AFFECTS PHYSICAL HEALTH

Did you know, for example, that the heart speeds up without any physical activity when we are stressed out? This can lead to heart attack and a higher overall resting heart rate, which could lead to earlier death.

Furthermore, it isn’t just the foods you eat that can lead to elevated levels of ‘bad’ cholesterol. If you have a positive, upbeat outlook, you will more than likely experience lowered cholesterol levels and better heart health.

3 Children Whose Stories Support The Case For Reincarnation

3-children-whose-stories-support-the-case-for-reincarnation

Past-life recognition in children is being studied extensively by various scientists and psychiatrists around the world to prove the survival of consciousness beyond the physical realm.

Reincarnation research was advanced by Dr. Ian Stevenson in the 1960’s, who interviewed thousands of people who had recollections of past lives. Dr. Stevenson discovered that recollection of past lives by children was much more common than many expected and he developed categories to help screen for cases worthy of further study. Dr. Jim B. Tucker, colleague of the late Dr. Stevenson and an associate psychiatry professor at the University of Virgina Medical Center’s Division of Perceptual Studies, has compiled over 2500 case studies of reincarnation, which document young children recollecting their previous lives.

New Study Provides Compelling Evidence For The Healing Power Of Exercise

Source: www.themindunleashed.org | Original Post Date: September 25, 2014 –

new-study-provides-compelling-evidence-for-the-healing-power-of-exercise

While scientists, psychologists and health care professionals have long known about the connection between exercise and well-being, a new study published in the September 25th edition of Cell has uncovered the mechanisms that may underlie this link. This study showed that having strong, toned muscles can make people more resistant to stress and help filter a depression-causing toxin away from the brain.

When we exercise hard, our muscles produce a compound known as PGC-1α1, which is known to have positive effects on the body, such as stimulating the production of blood vessels. In this study, researchers genetically altered the amount PGC-1α1 in the skeletal systems of lab mice...

Scientists Implant Mice With Human Brain Cells

I have some mixed feelings about this, scientifically it's very interesting, but it also raises some ethical concerns...

What would Stewart Little make of it? Mice have been created whose brains are half human. As a result, the animals are smarter than their siblings.

The idea is not to mimic fiction, but to advance our understanding of human brain diseases by studying them in whole mouse brains rather than in dishes.

The altered mice still have mouse neurons – the "thinking" cells that make up around half of all their brain cells. But practically all the glial cells in their brains, the ones that support the neurons, are human.

"It's still a mouse brain, not a human brain," says Steve Goldman of the University of Rochester Medical Center in New York. "But all the non-neuronal cells are human."

By Derek Lovell 
 

In her article, “Master of Love” author Emily Smith states that of all the couples that get married, only 3 in 10 remain in healthy, happy marriages, as psychologist Ty Tashiro points out in his book “The Science of Happily Ever After.”

Every day in June, the most popular wedding month of the year, about 13,000 American couples will say “I do,” committing to a lifelong relationship that will be full of friendship, joy and love that will carry them forward to their final days on this earth.
