Trans Pacific Partnership, Monsanto and Global Food Dominance

Dr. Evil and Mr. Gates (image source)

“Control oil and you control nations,” said US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger in the 1970s. ”Control food and you control the people.”

Global food control has nearly been achieved, by reducing seed diversity with GMO (genetically modified) seeds that are distributed by only a few transnational corporations. But this agenda has been implemented at grave cost to our health; and if the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) passes, control over not just our food but our health (see posts in Black Hat Biotech menu), our environment and our financial system will be in the hands of transnational corporations. And our governments of course already are.

Global Warming Was A Money Making Scam - But Is Global Cooling A Serious Threat?

We would love to say that for years we were the lone voice of sanity crying out against the climate change madness, but the truth is that despite all that "the science is settled" bullshit there were always armies of ethical researchers, environmentalists and media commentator who saw the tax raising scam for what it was. Now the AGW scaremongers are in full retreat and every week new evidence of their fraud emerges.

The latest has been the extent of Arctic ice which we were told would disappear completely by 2012. Well in case you hadn't noticed, last year was 2012 and the Arctic ice sheet staged a modest recovery. And this year it has expanded with a vengence.

In Bond - age to the twin demons

Bondage? (
Image source)

I sometimes get accused of being unfair to science tits who are, as they like to remind me, a bunch of altruistic superior beings who devote their lives to a quest for truth and an effort to improve the miserable lot of humankind, often working for peanuts. In the highly paid industry I worked in it was often said, "Pay peanuts, you get monkeys". What does that say about people who work for peanuts?

The latest project to fall into the category of absolutely useless research unless its objective was to flush taxpayers' money down the toilet, is a report on what effects the lifestyle a typical secret agent (licensed to kill), which involves compulsory heavy drinking and smoking, regular encounters with skilled torturers and explosives experts and alluring women who keep stilettos in their stilettos would have on a man's body.

In what is probably the most useless piece of pseudo - scientific research ever, a bunch of OCD bell ends from the Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trusthave discovered an adult male human cannot drink five bottles of spirits and ten bottles of wine a day, smoke seventy cigarettes an hour, get killed at least once a week and still be a secret agent (licenced to kill). That's the finding of researchers who say that they've plotted James Bond's alcohol intake across his career and that far from being a superhero, he was a physical wreck. OK, I know these blokes are scientists and we have to make allowances, but FFS, don't they realise James Bond is not a real person and that fact alone enables him to break all the rules. Fictional character drink as much as the author wants them to withour getting drunk, eat as much as the author wants them too withouir getting fat and have unprotected sex with millions of dodgy partners without geting any diseases. That's because its not real, it's fiction. The humorless nerds will be telling us next that having studied the aerodynamics of the Kryptonian body they conclude Superman can't fly.

They report in their humourless way, "This consistent but variable lifetime drinking pattern has been reported in patients with alcoholic liver disease". A person with this lifestyle would be impotent and he wouldn't be able to shoot straight. So less a case of Goldeneye than Blurred Vision. Really? Can't get it up, poor physical coordination, bad breath, tunnel vision? Sounds like if he could learn poor pesonal hygiene as well he'd make a great scientist.

Sadly these sexless science lovers are unfamiliar with Thorpe's law, that that the more dissolute your lifestyle the more sex you get and the better you are in bed.

What I loathe most about this type of scientists is the lofty tone they adopt when stating what is starkly effing obvious as if they are imparting some gem of wisdom non scientists could not possibly be aware of.

Do these guys think we mere mortals do not know Bond is a fantasy figure or that we are unaware a lifetime of heavy drinking and smoking is likely to ruin a person's health.

Do they not understand that while fully conversant with these things some people will choose to smoke or drink too much, drive fast cars, surf the biggest wave in the world, boff the local gangster's wife (It was a long time ago, OK) or try to ride an inflatable elephant down the black slopes at Val d'Isere because we are human and doing stupid things proves we are alive.

When will someone fund some research into why so many scientists find it impossible to GET A LIFE.

The Universe Is A Hologram - Step Forward David Icke

The Universe is a hologram according to a bunch of theoretical physicists in Japan. The same thing has been said by eccentrics such as David Icke of course and indeed the theory is not new, it was first proposed by scientific researchers in the 1980s. But these latest guys to publish their ideas on the theme seem to think they have proof. This theory is not confined to theoretical physicists of course, the ancient Hindu philosophical concept of Mya proposes that the physical reality around us is an illusion and reality is only found in The Oneness.

Leaked TPP Documents Show The Extent Of Obama's Betrayal

Work sets you free, or as George Orwell put it in '1984' "freedom is slavery"

Ever heard of the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP)? Not many people have because the American and other governments negotiating the deal are being very secretive about what is supposed to be a free trade agreement. The reason for their cover ups is the TPP is really a massive transfer of power from elected government to corporate cartels, which will be immune from prosecution when their products or processes do harm and will be able to veto new law and challenge existing ones. And the USA is already engaged is negotiating a similar deal with the European Union, the TTIP

Free Speech Under Threat

The New World Order, Illuminati, Scientific Dictatorship, Global elite, call them whatever you like, do not care for the idea of free speech. We have heard various rumblings from elitist gatherings like The bilderberg Group, G20 and G8 conferences, the world economic forums and the other expensive jamborees the elitists treat themselves to AT OUR EXPENSE - OH YES, about criminialising dissent, taking down websites and closing broadcast and print media outfits that argue against climate change, globalisation, redistribution of wealth (Most people mistakenly believe this means redistribution from the wealthy to the poor but everywhere socialism has gained power the redistribution has been from the poor, who became destitute, to the already wealthy and powerful, who not only had all the money but made sure they did not have to pay for anything).

The action in this war on free speech has shifted to Britain - The Editor In Chief of the left wing Guardian newspaper has been virtually accused of treason for telling the truth about governments spying on their own citizens accused.
The right to free speech is under threat from intolerant, authoritarian elitists.  They pay lip service to left wing ideas like fighting poverty and working for peace but are actually more authoritarian in their political outlook than Hitler or Stalin. Their goal is absolute power and they know that while the right of free speech, the free press and free access to information exist they cannot succeed.

In politics the left is not about global government, it is about small government and maximum freedom for individuals. big government is fascism.

The ravings of doctors about obesity in the case of people who are a few pounds overweight really make their profession look stupid. Now, in response to surveys that show slightly overweight people live longer comes the science whore to tell us it’s impossible to be overweight and healthy.

Scientists Launch Serious Debate On Robot's Rights

We’ve been telling you for ever that scientists are insane, devoid of ethics, totally detached from reality and hellbent on destroying humanity and the planet that supports us simply because we will not give them all the money in the world to buy new toys.

They are on about Robots being given human rights now, fecking eejits. Do they really think robots are going to be the cicddly, cute, squeaky voiced creatures of sci - fi films aimed at eight to eleven year old. When we consider that the people who will build robots are sociopathic nerds, then clearly robots will be bastards like the one pictured above.

Just before we get into the latest scientific madness, ask yourself what kind of people we are dealing with that would insist on making machines look vaguely humanoid in order to enable socially incompetent science heads to more easily form relationships with them. Why do robots have to look human? Why do they have to have little legs so they can walk like spazzas? Caterpillar Tracks would work much better?

Nature Gives Us Another Cancer Cure That Doctors Will Never Tell You About

There are many such substances that work on different kinds of cancer, the spice Turmeric is one that was recently in the news. Big Pharma Corporations are doing their best to keep a lid on information about these natrual therapies, some companies have even tried to patent wild flowers and herbs that have had a place in traditional healing for centuries. Cancer has become a highly profitable industry and the very last thing that industry wants is a cheap, simple cure.

The Spy In Your Smartphone

by Ian R Thorpe

Just a little update in this as the legal wrangle between the FBI and Apple Inc. crawls through the labyrinthine US legal system. As someone who spent thirty years in the field of digital technology I can tell you the National Security Agency has been able to 'unlock iPhones from the first product launch. So all this kerfuffle about Apple refusing to unlock a terrorists iPhone for the FBI can only come down to one thing. The NSA consider Apple to be their exclusive asset.

An article in OS news opens by saying those of us with experience in digital technology have known about  the nasties hidden in your internet enabled computers and gadgets for years.This is absolutely true. Why did people like me not sound the alarm then, you might well ask? In the case of smartphones I confess tosheer indifference.

I have a ten year old Nokia cellphone that gives me everything I want in the way of communications. One hearing this a lot of people immediately assume I am some kind of technophobe. On the contrary, I work from home hand have an office full of high tech tools, camcorder, digital SLR, voice recorder, video mixing desk, five computers from a heavyweight tower to a lightweight notebook, I run Linux mostly because Windows is too clunky.

And when I am out of the office the only people I want to talk to if they call are members of my family and close friends. So a very basic cellphone is a logical choice, why spend money on something I will not use. And anyway, I've always known about the posterns in Smart Phone technology and so I'm happy to not share my life with manufacturers and service providers.

The True Debt Disaster America Faces - Only A Fraction Of Government Debt Is Known To The Public

Image source: standupforamerica.com

Politicians and the media talk about the $17 trillion debt the US Government owes to creditors. They are lying, the $17 trillion is a fraction of what america owes. The real figure is $200 trillion. And the loonytoons economics of the Obama administration and the dimwit economic advisers they have hired from Harvard Business School are driving that up at an accelerating rate.

The $17 trillion is not the total government debt, it is the national Debt, i.e. what the government owes the American people. The figure represents the value of US Treasury bonds issued over the years by various administrations and bought in by the Federal Reserve, the central bank of the USA, either as stimulus money (Quantitative Easing) or to prop up the US dollar when it was under pressure due to weak economic performance or international crises.

Several prominent economists have recently spoken out about how this $16.7 trillion figure is used to misdirect discussion about the US economy and conceal the true situation. Dr Laurence Kotlikoff , professor of economics at Boston University and a research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research, was recently interviewed by the Financial Sense Newshour about the true state of fiscal affairs in the nation that likes to boast it has the world's most powerful economy. He has recently revealed how the government uses creative accounting to hide from the public just how bad a financial mess the USA is in. Dr. Kotlikoff estimates the US actual debt-load, at $205 trillion versus the $17 trillion you often here in the news.

The real problem lies in highly refined sugars and carbohydrates and the processed fats sold to us as health foods in the form of "low fat spreads"

How ironic is that? The very things they told us were clogging our arteries and making us fat are actually healthy while the shite we were sold as the healthy choice was kiling us in several ways at once.

STEM Education and Scientism - the curse of modern education. We need a renaissance

Education, education, education, said Prime Minister Tony Blair. He meant indoctrination, indoctrination, indoctrination of course. The thing the Politically Correct intellectual bullies of the new left fear most is an educated working class capable of questioning the dogmas of the scientific dictatorship.

In common with Bill Clinton, Gerhard Schroeder and Jaques chirac in his own ear, and Barack Obama, Angela Merkel and Francois hollande among the current generation Blair, extolled the benefits of the STEM education, Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, subjects on which, in the view od politicians, all education should focused from a very early age.

It's bollocks of course, from an early age children need to be given a broad base on which they can later build their specialisations later. The Renaissance education which my generation had the benefit of, was designed to do this. It produced whole, rounded human beings not nerds with heads full off book learning and no life experience, or semi - autistic OCD bell ends who get twithchy if the have not heard the word 'science' for more than thirty seconds.

The values and purposes of Renaissance education were to improve the society, increase the economy, and refine religious beliefs by equipping people to question dogma. The social lives of people were greatly influenced by advancements in education during the Renaissance. More people then ever before were sent to schools and educated.

The Theory of The Renaissance Education or Liberal Arts Education as it is sometimes called was that a broad grounded in language, mathematics, the arts and natural sciences (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) prepares its graduates to pursue a wide range of interests in later life.

Rather than producing highly focused people with a very narrow skill set, the Renaissance Education should equip those who benefit from it to pursue a wide range of interests throughout their lives.

But now the news is out and being loudly proclaimed by leading German newspaper Spiegel,  it makes her chances of forming a stable coalition look a lot shakier. Read more:

Area 51: Another Million Points To The Conspiracy Theorists

Helllllooooooo all you truth deniers out there. So Area 51 is real.

Remember how you used to rubbish everything us truth seekers told you, those open minded people who question everything and think for ourselves?

"Oh no, the government would never lie to us," you said, "oh no, scientists would never participate in a Conspiracy of silence with politicians and big Business there are no conspiracies except in your fevered imaginations" you told us. Area 51 is a fairy story, the government is not experimenting with changing the weather and 'the science is settlled.'

Now don't get the idea I totally believe this stuff. I don't disbelieve it either, but I do know from personal experience governments cover up a lot of intersting information. In fact I have been part of cover ups (not about UFOs but, well without giving official secrets away, exposing people to nasty shite while denying it was harmful. My approach to Area 51 then is, I don't care much if UFOs are real or not.

My reason for posting such items is that some people, whose belief in reason, order and logic should be pitied, get so would up at even jokey references to UFOs, ghosts, paranormal activity etc. that it's our duty to annoy them. And another thing, if these eejits are so sure UFOs etc. don't exist, why do they get so worked up about people talking of such things. I mean I'm sure God does not exist but I would not dream of telling other people they should not pray or talk about The Bible.

Are We Being Brainwashed To Accept Transhumanism (human / robot hybrids)?

We live in a world of deception and illusion, nothing is what it seems to be. It what was claimed to be the last basion of free speech, The Internet, has been hijacked by government and corporate propagandists, what can we trust? And all the time, mad scientists are plotting to turn us into humandroids, human / machine hybrids.

OK, you can yell "Conspiracy Theory" if you like, there is even a word for it in scientific circles, Transhumanism. The Wikipedia entry for that presents a pretty scary picture. here's an extract:

Transhumanism (abbreviated as H+ or h+) is an international cultural and intellectual movement with an eventual goal of fundamentally transforming the human condition by developing and making widely available technologies to greatly enhance human intellectual, physical, and psychological capacities.^[1] Transhumanist thinkers study the potential benefits and dangers of emerging technologies that could overcome fundamental human limitations, as well as study the ethical matters involved in developing and using such technologies. They predict that human beings may eventually be able to transform themselves into beings with such greatly expanded abilities as to merit the label "posthuman"

Statism has turned Detroit Into Ayn Rand's Starnesville

Socialist thinking, Big Government and Nanny State turn The Motor City into a junkyard

When the city of Detroit, once the greatest car making city in the world, declared bankruptcy, it seemed like the formal announcement of the death of the American dream. But from another perspective the plight of Detriot should concern us all. Writers who try to warn of the dangers of big government paternalism usually talk of George Orwell's 1984 vs Huxley's brave New World. Now there is a new contender, Ayn Rand's Starnesville.

The once great motor city now languishes in squalor as a result of Nanny State restrictions on business, punitive taxes and and the dependency culture high unemployment and an economy based on social welfare payments encourage. Add to that the uncompetitiveness that results from over regulation and you have Blade Runner meets '1984'.

Serves 'em right though for letting the Motown record label church out all that nice, safe, sanitized bubble gum music and call it soul. Come to think of it, the music was as anodune as the cars they turned out through the 1980s and 1990s.

We say that as far as the ordinary punters are concerned we have been in recession since 1991, with government and banks propping up failed economies by printing money and inflating asset values to underwrite their ruinous borrowing. But not everybody does badly when there is an economic downturn.

What Is All That War Aid Money Really being Used For

No matter how much money we throw at the third world, things never seem to imporove (image source)

The marketing hype accompanying wars becomes progressively more boring and predictable. Whenever a "coalition of the willing" of western governments and their rather unsavoury regional allies deploys military intervention, it is certain the USA will call for an international effort to help the poor and European Union will host or participate in a “donors’ conference”. These grotesque charades have become a feature of the Afghan campaign since 2001. When Gaza was bombed for three weeks in late 2008 and early 2009, the EU rushed to get involved. In Libya in 2011 The USA, France and the UK (The FUKUS axis) ganged up on little libya (OK, a vast land area but population 5 million counts as little against the millions of UK and France and at over 300 million population, the USA is in the big league in every respect (including their waistlines).

Do little countries like Libya, medieval backwaters like Yemen or strategically important but politicicaly insignificant tyrannies like Syria really threaten the security of the west? We think not. So why must the western nations alwayd be at war? Could it be that war is good for business, cruise missiles at a million dollars a pop, fuel for aircraft and tanks, munitions, uniforms, prostitutes ... all funded by the taxpayers. No wonder the money men like war.

And what of all that foreign aid doled out to the tyrants that do cooperate with the plundering of their nations resources by western corporations. Surely you did not think it went to feed and clothe the poor did you?

The Power of Positive

The Power of Positive
When I was in rehab learning to cope with the consequences of a brain haemorrhage (rehab is not just for those suffering from having too much fun for too long) well meaning but very serious little people would come up to my bed and say "you must be positive."

I was always positive, some days I was positive I would get better, other times I was positive I wanted to go home and die.

Positivity is an overrated quality. Misery is good, we all need misery to keep us grounded. What is so wrong with being negative after all we live in a negative universe, let loose a few atoms with positively charged protons instead of negatively charged electrons (aka anti - matter) and in a million years or so, two shakes of a comet's tail in cosmic terms, the Universe would have gone pffffht!

Sometimes all the positive crap really gets up my nostrils. Be cheerful, look on the bright side? Why? I am not against happiness per se its just that being a pragmatist I reckon that in order to know we are happy we have to experience unhappiness. And if we never knew we were happy, if we never had the hope that things could get better how depressing would that be?

Don't you hate it when people ask "is your glass half full or half empty?" People whose glass is always half full have an air of desperation, as if they are trying to cover a great void inside them. Think about it logically. Is your glass half full or half empty? You bought a drink, you drank and with luck enjoyed half of it. Stop fretting over what people think of you and enjoy the other half before it goes rancid. What good is half a glass of stale whatever to anybody? You can always get another drink if you want more when that is gone.

Cheers!

There, see what I mean. Your glass is not empty, your drink has simply relocated to where it can do most good.

Another one that winds me up is "it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." Bollocks! Anybody who says this in the hope of consoling a dumpee is obviously incapable of love and probably of experiencing any powerful emotion. Half the fun of falling in love in the anticipation of that glorious wallow in self pity that follows being dumped. Anybody who has loved truly, madly, deeply and been dumped will know the only cure is abject misery accompanied by large doses of strong drink. "I will never love again," wails the dumpee, "for I could never find another who is nearly so wonderful. And with that they throw themselves into bottle after bottle of beer / wine / vodka without ever stopping to ask if the glass is half full or half empty. The obligatory vow to withdraw from society and follow the celibate path of a hermit lasts just until the next time an attractive stranger makes eye contact and ventures a half smile.

Misery is like germs. Those never exposed to it do not build an immunity and so when their bubble is eventually burst they have nothing to cushion their fall.

In business too the line between positive thinking and delusion is drawn faint and fine. Is it more positive to say "we did not achieve the outcome we hoped for but many valuable lessons were learned," or "it was a cock up from start to finish." It should be simple of course, but whole libraries of serious little books have been written on the subject of positive thinking or the art of lying to ourselves. One such, dedicated to teaching us to model ourselves on "highly effective people" stresses the importance of always "positioning ourselves to take advantage of our opportunity." OK, here's a situation, its early evening and you just got out of work. You had a hell of a day and missed lunch. You pass a fast food restaurant and the smell of frying makes your mouth water. Do you position yourself to take advantage of an opportunity to consume a portion of minced lips and arseholes with onions and relish on a bread roll, or do you grab a burger?

OK so you are a corporate type and you are sitting consuming your portion of minced lips and arsehole and reflecting on your day. It was disappointing to miss out on that promotion. Do you think "I know my value and will resolve to market myself in the corporate environment more effectively in future." This is actually the attitude of a lost soul, somebody prepared to swallow all the corporate bullshit we are spoon-fed. The truly positive person would think "they can stuff their bloody buggering job up their corporate holes, I'd rather starve than swallow any more of their bullshit."

In short, people who try to place every experience in a positive context are afraid of facing reality. They hide their insecurities in a thin skin of conformist attitudes thus sacrificing their individuality. Sadly they also miss out on half of life's rich tapestry. Maybe they should seek counselling.
