Economic collapse?

Are we heading to an economic collapse? If you already know the answer, I highly recommend the following podcast in this link, where a eurozone banker is interviewed on the coming crash. It really says all that needs to be said about the situation we find ourselves in.

The bad news of an uncoming collapse is being discussed already on mainstream news, in the alternative news its being discussed for quite awhile. Lets see what Donald Hunt tells us in his blog “Signs of the Economic Apocalyse”:
We make a mistake if we assume that the markets for various commodities act as markets do in economic textbooks. Here is an excellent account by Robert Bell of how, by whom and for whom markets can be rigged, worth quoting at length but too long to quote in full. The article helps explain why those of us who thought the dollar would have collapsed by now were wrong. A major reason for this was the consequence of the law passed by Bush in the fall of 2004 allowing U.S. corporations to "repatriate" profits parked overseas and to have that money taxed at a much lower rate. According to Bell, that had the effect of propping up the dollar.
The Invisible Hand (of the U.S. Government) in Financial Markets

Robert Bell

Summary: The U.S. government is manipulating all major U.S. financial markets - stocks, treasuries, currencies. This article shows how it is possible and how it is done, why it is done, who specifically is doing it, when they do it, and where they get the money to do it. [read the article here]

The present political and climatological factors are already bad enough and it seems that things are getting worse… It is like the feeling that they are not telling you everything because they don’t have your best interests at heart. Obviously the economy of an egocentric world will also mean that the interests of those at the top come first. I guess it will be like the classical corporate-fascist economy. From the same blog:
Classic liberal economics represent one branch of clear STS or Service to Self economic relations. Corporate-Fascist economics represents an alternate STS economic path. Both ideologies propose an ethos of getting as much as you can for yourself without concern for the other. The difference is, the “you” in liberal economic ideology is the “individual” and in corporate fascism the “you” that is maximizing personal benefits is the Nation or the State merged with the powerful corporations. Game Theory, with its rational self-interested actors and two-person games, is essential to both types of STS economic ideologies. What results, then, when societies make these theories and ideologies their fundament, is a culture of psychopathy, a culture where psychopathic behavior is rewarded. (see Laura Knight-Jadczyk’s “'Official Culture’ in America: A Natural State of Psychopathy?” ) and her Adventures with Cassiopaea series).

Good luck! We all are going to need it, but more than that, lets remember that KNOWLEDGE PROTECTS!.

Mordechai Vanunu: “Having the atomic bomb is what has allowed Israel to fearlessly carry out its apartheid policy”

Exclusive Interview for Voltaire Network by by Silvia Cattori
In 1986, Mordechai Vanunu, an engineer at the Dimona nuclear centre, revealed to the Sunday Times the existence of the secret Israeli nuclear program. He was Kidnapped in Italy by the Israeli secret services following his contacts with the British reporters and before the publication of the article with his revelations, he was judged behind doors and jailed for 18 years. Although he is still banned from contacting reporters, Mordechai Vanunu answers Silvia Cattori’s questions in an exclusive interview for Voltaire Network. [Read the article here]

Quantum Future Institute - The Academy of Wisdom

The Quantum Future Institute is conducted according to the principles of Knowledge Protects and should be shared, that Truth is the highest value, that Ignorance Endangers and Wisdom is nothing else but "Knowledge Applied".
Science has been corrupted, it has become an industry, an arm of the Military utilized primarily for dealing death and destruction on our planet, and this process is like a train speeding out of control toward a bridge that has been washed out by a mighty flood. The "truth" does not matter anymore. Greed and corruption rule science even if many scientists are sincere and well meaning.

Today we living in a corrupted society, corrupted to such an extent that the end of human civilisation is highly probable long before the "End of Everything" predicted by theoretical physicists; perhaps even in our lifetime. At the same time, synchronistically, the rate of "natural catastrophes" seems to be accelerating. We understand more and more that our human existence on the planet Earth is rather fragile and can end at any moment. A strike by an asteroid can annihilate most of the population of our planet, and evidence indicates that such can happen with literally no warning. A supernova explosion of a nearby star can all life on earth almost instantly. In this case there will be no warning at all. The star could have already exploded and the deadly radiation is already on the way towards us - with the speed of light.

Much closer to home, an eruption on the Sun, directed towards the Earth, can end nearly all life on our planet in the form that we know about (some sea creatures in the deep ocean may survive). Assigning probabilities to such events is simply meaningless. We do not know enough about the inner mechanisms inside our Sun or stars, we do not have means for shielding our planet from cosmic catastrophes.

And still we use science to build weapons, to kill and maim, to steal and starve others blithely ignoring the facts of history: he who digs a pit generally falls into it.

Then we have religions. They give us a different perspective, they give us hope: they talk about consciousness that transcends physical reality. But religions also tell us a lot of silly things and they have been the cause of probably more human deaths, cruelty and suffering than science and technology together. Religions have also been corrupted. Science ruled by religion or religion ruled by science seem to be equally deadly mixtures.

What to do then? This question occurs only to those that are not satisfied with being simply passive vitnesses and victims of the "unavoidable". This question occurs to those who understand that there is no such thing as "unavoidable", who understand that in a nonlinear universe the flap of a butterfly's wings in Brazil can set off a tornado in Texas. Even if today we may not be able to provide any constructive answer to these probalems of global importance, tomorrow we may acquire a different perspective and our questions may find their "Columbus solutions". Knowledge, too, is nonlinear. But for this a special approach is needed. All corruption in science and in religion have to be spotted and discarded. A healthy marriage of the exact methods science and of the mysterious esotericism is needed.

There is no other solution.

Police state placement...while you sleep


My laptop is about to be unplugged from its 8th internet connection for reasons of traveling… again. By now I’m already an expert in hooking up my computer to any networking cable available.

During the last days I had the chance to live with a classical English family, it proved to be very enlightening for me. Now I have a better idea on why people are not interested in all the lies and injustices of Blair and collaborators.

So well next stop is Italy, but I already been there for quite awhile. I am even afraid to surf the internet there. Everywhere I go, I have to show my documents. To use an internet café, they had to scan my permit of stay and give me a card with a code. At the end they check my code and are able to know how many hours I owe them. And I tried various places, they all need my permit of stay scanned. In the subway they check people’s backpacks, well I will say that they check blacks and Arabs (males). But that doesn’t surprises me either.

Whatever, I am a good immigrant. Its incredible to how much BS we are getting used to.

Dust off the Nuremberg Files

In the article "Dust off the Nuremberg Files", Anwaar Hussain writes:
The Nuremberg Trial Counts One & Two: Conspiracy to Wage Aggressive War and Waging Aggressive War. The "common plan or conspiracy" charge was designed to get around the problem of how to deal with crimes committed before the war. The defendants charged under Count One were accused of agreeing to commit crimes. Accusation for Count Two was defined in the indictment as "the planning, preparation, initiation, and waging of wars of aggression, which were also wars in violation of international treaties, agreements, and assurances."

Abundant evidence is now available that shows that leaders and advisers of the Bush and Blair administrations engaged in "planning, preparation, initiation or waging of a war of aggression." Iraq posed no threat to either the United States or Britain. Its government had neither the means nor the intent of waging war against these countries; nor did it issue any threat to them. It possessed no WMDs. [...]

If all other war crimes could be argued against by legal wizardry, there is one crime of the coalition forces that is enough to surely sentence them ten times over for crimes against humanity. The use of depleted uranium weapons by the US armed forces in Iraq and Afghanistan is as horrific a crime against humanity as there ever could be. This one crime takes its ghastly toll not just on the existing humanity, but successive generations continue to suffer for eons to come. A look here (too graphic, be warned) would confirm that the hideous beginning has already been made. [...]

One problem remains though. And that is that it is always the vanquished that are supposed to have committed war crimes. The current accused are militarily so powerful that inflicting a military defeat on them by any power/combination of powers looks remote at the moment. Additionally, the 'war on terror' has been purposely made so elusive that the lines of legality are blurred enough to muddy the evidence of the crime. [...]

Leonardo Da Vinci: The Last Supper

Much have been said about Leonardo Da Vinci's Last Supper. For example that the apostole next to Jesus' right is a woman, and thanks to the Da Vinci Code and other predecessors it is said that its his wife. But maybe an interpretation of Leonardo Da Vinci himself about his paintings will provide a clue. In Laura Knight-Jadczyk's updated article "The True Identity of Fulcanelli and The Da Vinci Code", there is an analysis of Leonardo's paintings with some reference to his notebooks and manuscripts. Laura Knight-Jadczyk quotes the following for the particular painting in discussion:
Pleasure and Pain represent as twins, since there never is one without the other; and as if they were united back to back, since they are contrary to each other. [...] This represents Pleasure together with Pain, and show them as twins because one is never apart from the other. They are back to back because they are opposed to each other; and they exist as contrairies in the same body...[Leonardo's quotes from: "The Notebooks of Leonardo Da Vinci" compiled and edited from the original manuscripts by Jean Paul Richter, Dover Edition, 1970, first published in 1883 by Sampson Low, Marston, Searle & Rivington under the title "The Literary Works of Leonardo da Vinci. Dover Publications, New York]
