Eli Pariser on "The Filter Bubble: What the Internet Is Hiding from You”


The internet is increasingly becoming an echo chamber in which websites tailor information according to the preferences they detect in each viewer. When some users search the word “Egypt,” they may get the latest news about the revolution, others might only see search results about Egyptian vacations.

The top 50 websites collect an average of 64 bits of personal information each time we visit—and then custom-design their sites to conform to our perceived preferences. What impact will this online filtering have on the future of democracy? We speak to Eli Pariser, author of The Filter Bubble: What the Internet Is Hiding from You.

"Take news about the war in Afghanistan. When you talk to people who run news websites, they’ll tell you stories about the war in Afghanistan don’t perform very well. They don’t get a lot of clicks. People don’t flock to them. And yet, this is arguably one of the most important issues facing the country," says Pariser. "But it will never make it through these filters. And especially on Facebook this is a problem, because the way that information is transmitted on Facebook is with the 'like' button. And the 'like' button, it has a very particular valence. It’s easy to click 'like' on 'I just ran a marathon' or 'I baked a really awesome cake.' It’s very hard to click 'like' on 'war in Afghanistan enters its 10th year.'" [includes rush transcript]

7 Revolutionary Icons Being Used to Pimp Capitalist Excess, War and Vanilla Ice Cream

By Stokely Baksh and Jamilah King

Here are revolutionaries who, in their death or retirement, have been used to represent the sorts of things they spent their lives opposing.

It’s a sad, but predictable cycle: an outspoken person of color captures the world’s attention with a powerful call for justice—sometimes offering his or her life to the cause—and years later winds up on some well-meaning kid’s t-shirt. Or on the walls of your local Apple Store. And now, on the side of a Navy cargo ship. Over the past four decades, it seems that nothing sells better than revolution.

We’ve rounded up just a handful of the most laughable examples of revolutionaries who, in their death or retirement, have been used to represent the sorts of things they spent their lives opposing.

Revolutionary: Cesar Chavez

Re-branded: A U.S. Navy ship

Recently, the U.S. Navy named one of its cargo ships after Chavez. So, the tireless advocate for migrant labor who worked passionately against oppressive borders is an instrument of imperial war to help enforce them. “His example will live through this ship,” said Navy Secretary Ray Mabus at the dedication, before a crowd of Latino ship builders.

Revolutionary: Ernesto “Che” Guevara

Re-branded: Fashion icon

From t-shirts to designer handbags, the Argentine-born revolutionary’s image has become omnipresent in the very system of commercial capitalism that he reviled. The revolution begins at Urban Outfitters, it seems.

Revolutionary: Malcolm X

Re-branded: Enlightened U.S. patriot

In 1999, Malcolm X’s image appeared on a collectible U.S. Postal Service stamp for the government that he spoke openly, passionately, and repeatedly about wanting to dismantle.

Revolutionary: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Re-branded: Happy-go-lucky hero.

Last summer, Glenn Beck scheduled his own “Restoring Honor” gathering on the National Mall to coincide with the anniversary of King’s “I Have a Dream Speech.” That fact requires no further comment, but Beck is just the most extreme example of MLK’s rebranding as a diversity teddy bear.

Revolutionary: Native American resistance leaders

Re-branded: U.S. military symbols

Just days after Osama bin Laden’s death, news broke that the covert military operation that led to his killing was nicknamed “Geronimo.” In an interview with “Democracy Now!”, Winona LaDuke noted that the U.S. military is filled with Native American nomenclature: Black hawk and Apache longbow helicopters, tomahawk missiles.

Revolutionary: Mohandas K. Gandhi

Re-branded: Luxury goods pitchman

These days, Gandhi’s image is used to sell almost anything, but especially luxury consumer goods built with sketchy labor in poor countries. Most prominently, Gandhi’s likeness became a key part of Apple’s “Think Different” ad campaign in the late 1990s.

Revolutionary: Bobby Seale

Re-branded: Vanilla ice cream enthusiast.

Seale, who co-founded the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense in the late 1960s, became a pitch man for Ben & Jerry’s in the early 1990s. In the ad Seale sports the Panther’s signature black beret while holding up a clenched fist in one hand and a serving of vanilla ice cream in the other.

French protesters urge Paris to ‘wake up’

French police forces face protesters during a demonstration in front of the Bastille opera in Paris on May 29, 2011

PressTv
May 29, 2011

French protesters gathered in Paris and rallied against their government, as they modeled Spain’s M-15 movement, with banners calling for Paris to wake up!

About 1,000 protesters gathered on Sunday in Bastille square in Paris according to the French police and demonstrated against the country’s rising unemployment level and corruption, AFP reported.

The demonstration was modeled after the M-15 movement in Spain that has witnessed 2 weeks of violent clashes between security forces and protesters.

The protesters, unfolded giant banners that read; “Real democracy now” and “Paris, wake up”, on the steps of the Opera House in Bastille square.

The Bastille square is known as the place where the French Revolution began.

“There has to be a change in the economic structures to improve the sharing of world resources, because if we continue like this, in unfairness and misery, it could end up badly,” said protester Chantal Piganau.

Security forces monitored the protesters as they called for popular uprising against their government.

Another banner said “The people united will never be defeated.”

Demonstrations are also taking place in other locations in France, such as the southern city of Toulouse and the southwestern city of Bayonne, where people have set up camps and have used other banners saying “We all have reasons to be indignant … join us.”

France has witnessed demonstrations against the government, where many violent clashes between protesters and police forces have occurred, for over a year now.

The latest demonstrations occurred in response to the 26-27 May, G8 Summit that France hosted.

Spain’s M-15 movement was born on May 15. Since then the country has witnessed nationwide anti-government demonstrations.

Cornwall Council Shame


... 7:00AM BST 28 May 2011

The council’s credit card statements show it has spent almost £9 million on items from home cinema systems to silk ties and hotels around the world.

Councillors or executives at the local authority have travelled to Thailand, India and Honduras.

Tens of thousands of pounds of taxpayers’ money was spent at hotels and restaurants during overseas trips, which also included visits to Spain and Japan.

Last night, after being given three days to justify the expenditure, the council was only able to give a brief defence for a handful of the items. Documents obtained by The Daily Telegraph show how officials and councillors used the credit cards to pay for luxury items including £1,051.63 on “pure silk ties” and £1,652.15 on a home cinema.

They also spent thousands on disco equipment, fish tanks and musical instruments.

The credit cards were used to spend more than £1 million on advertising and publicity as well as more than £200,000 on training and conferences and £500,000 on stationery and office equipment.

Highland council, Inverness, had the third-highest credit card bill, with £2.8 million spent on items including electric guitars and a stay in a South African lodge featuring saunas and hot tubs.

Wrexham, the fourth highest spender, ran up hotel bills of £14,000 and paid £37,000 for staff training. Staff at Bury council, which spent the fifth highest amount, splashed out on flights to

Canada and expensive restaurant meals, as well as running up a £24,000 bill with local travel agents.

Cornwall’s credit card bill is in stark contrast to those submitted by dozens of other councils, who spent little or nothing on their cards.

...HERE'S THAT LIST IN FULL...

Total: £8,973,444
Maintenance: £615,913 Training: £615,913
Other: £2,170,990 Stationery: £536,307
Legal: £622,690 Furniture: £674,445
IT equipment: £386,804 Travel: £905,384

Magazine for the Elderly's Reader Poll: A Shocking Eighty-Five Percent Favor Marijuana Legalization


Reprinted from NORML:

Attitudes about the criminalization of marijuana may be changing among the elders of our society, as the more than 70 million of the baby boomer generation, one to widely experiment with recreational drug use, have and will become grandparents.

GRAND Magazine, the online magazine for today’s grandparents, released today results from their poll question which appeared in the March/April issue. It asked readers if it was time to legalize marijuana. 85% responded that they agreed it was.

The reader respondents who are pot proponents argued in their responses that it is hypocritical to outlaw pot when cigarettes, alcohol and fat-laden foods are legal but account for so many health issues among our population. They point out that marijuana is used to treat medical symptoms such as pain and nausea, and that in some states it is legal for shops to dispense medical marijuana. The billions that are spent in the U.S. on policing and courts related to this issue could be spent on better schools or infrastructure.

Grandparents who are part of the baby boomer generation (those born from 1946 to 1964)(1) have a unique perspective on marijuana, having come of age during a time when pot use became mainstream. 21st century grandparents are a group with a significant influence on the country’s youth as they are the primary caregivers for more than 6 million children(2). In fact, approximately 75 percent of all non-parental care of children is provided by a grandparent(3), representing a large shift in family dynamics. Now it seems that as they guide and influence new generations, they view marijuana use increasingly as a harmless indulgence rather than a gateway to a lifetime of drug abuse.

Among the reader response comments were:

“I am a grandparent strongly in favor of decriminalization. I would much rather my grandkids smoke pot than use cigarettes or alcohol. I expect I will need cannabis for my health soon and don’t want (it) to be illegal. The whole charade needs to stop; we are blowing far too much money on the drug war and have no positive results to show for it. The whole approach is counterproductive,” said D.W., Guysville, OH.

Graphic Video Of Police Brutality On Protesters In Spain

Police in Barcelona have attacked protesters that have been camped out since May 15 in the city's Plaza Catalunya. The protesters originally were trying to apply pressure to the public to not vote in last weekend's local Spanish elections. Those elections resulted in sharp losses for the country's Socialist Party government.

Protesters have remained in squares across Spain since the election, demanding government reforms and renewed attention to the country's unemployment crisis.

The forceful move against the protesters today in Barcelona was staged to clear the square out ahead of FC Barcelona's Champions League final match against Manchester United tomorrow evening. But to many, it may just appear the beginning of a government crackdown on the country's protesters.

Videos are now surfacing of the police assault. The video includes violence on unarmed protesters (via Zero Hedge):

Burderop Down, nr Nr Wroughton, Wiltshire. Reported 22nd May


The Triune

Diagram Fred Rusher 2011 Copyright 2011

Key 106:1. “Enoch explained that our local universe has a triangular Light core of ten million light years with a surrounding veil of twenty million light years. This veil consists of heat envelopes which form a biochemical testing zone necessary to divine life.

2. The biochemical testing zone surrounds the core or Central Sun known as the Kolob.” (The center of this crop circle)

There are seven circles and the Pleiades has seven stars. Not all the stars are the same size so not all the circles are the same size.

Key 106:9 “The Pleiades represents the key to physical protocreation; it represents the galactic beginning of the physical Adamic household.”

So this crop circle – The Triune - presents us with a STAR KEY.

Key 205:60 “The Higher Evolution comes first to awaken and raise the consciousness of the species by very intricate maneuvers and regenerate intelligence by placing a higher color coding around a given specie.

61. Oftentimes this is done by giving a very elaborate system of star keys (crop circles) and through these star keys or messages various levels of specie creation can be holistically remapped.

62. The star keys given in the past are timepieces deposited within the Earth’s energy fields to enable succeeding generations of the Earth’s inhabitants to discover how their consciousness can be influenced by these timepieces and connect them to an Infinite Way.”

Crop circles and sacred geometry influence us in ways we do not really understand on this 3d reality of physical existence. They affect parts of our brain, mind, and heart in many ways that we find hard to comprehend, yet we deeply appreciate their beauty.

Key 205:65 “The Merkabah shows Man how to use a universal language of multi-level instruction through its intricate maneuvers and the star keys which they leave behind. Their language is a language of Light which communicates to any creation through light and graphics and pulsations. Through this language Man acquires an understanding of the levels of higher Intelligence.”

The quotes are from the book “The Keys of Enoch: The Book of Knowledge” by Dr. J.J. Hurtak

Splitting the Sky turns up the HEAT on Bush

Surrey BC Mayor Diane Watts forewarned of torture issues with George W Bush Invite in October by Peace Activists
Surrey BC Canada May 2 2011

WeAreChangeVancouver has just released new video of Surrey BC Mayor Diane Watts's Office being notified by Peace Activists of her impending complicity in harboring/inviting a credibly
accused and self admitted torturer and war criminal to Surrey BC this October.

The video clearly depicts Diane Watts' Communication Specialist Tara Foslien being notified of specific Canadian Laws and Agreements that will be broken by inviting Mr Bush to speak at the
Surrey Economic Forum. Professor Anthony Hall of the University of Lethbridge and Mohawk

Peace Activist and Author John Boncore aka Splitting The Sky clearly serves the Mayor's Office

Notice citing specific laws and agreements.

- Witnesses on video include many RCMP officers, members of the press , citizens and peace activists.
- Specifically cited were Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions and Section 35 of the Canadian Immigration
and Refugee Act barring war criminals and torturers.

- The Peace activists and groups such as Lawyers Against War insist that torture should not be ignored
for political reasons and Canadian laws and international agreements should be upheld.

- In the case of Mr Bush he admitted to ordering the torture programs at CIA rendition/black sites in an
NBC interview with Matt Lauer and also in his book "Decision Points".
The accusations of torture have now been validated by Bush's own admissions.

- Water boarding has always been condemned universally as well as considered torture by
the US military, The United Nations, The Red Cross, Amnesty International etc...

- The torture programs instituted by the Bush administration led to a massive surge in US
Troop deaths and casualties as well as boosted recruitment levels for the Taliban and Al
Qaeda. This is well documented with many members of the US government including even
Bush Adminstration's Homeland Security Director Tom Ridge stating emphatically that water
boarding is definitely torture.

- CIA Chief Leon Panetta and Senator John MCain came out recently out against the defense of torture and those tryng to claim that torture lead to Bin Laden.


On Monday, May 2 a coalition of activists and civil resisters marched on Surrey City Hall in an attempt to school Mayor Dianne Watts on the voluminous domestic and supranational legislation that exists pertaining to credibly accused war criminals and other violators of human rights. Mayor Dianne Watts' ill conceived invitation to George W. Bush to come to Surrey, British Columbia to attend the annual Surrey Regional Economic Summit this coming Oct. 20 stimulated the demonstration, which was organized by Mohawk activist and author Splitting the Sky.

the PROXY trick - Tutorial: How To Get Around Government Censorship Of YouTube Videos

Step By Step Guide Explaining How To Get By Government Censorship Of YouTube Videos
Alexander Higgins, Contributing Writer
Activist Post

Our so-called liberty loving democratic governments are resorting to tactics of a fascist totalitarian dictatorship and censoring YouTube videos, which show nothing more than people protesting for their civil liberty. Here is the story behind the government censorship along with a tutorial on how to defeat it. Enjoy!

12610 points us to an Infowars article revealing that the Government is censoring YouTube videos, not for “piracy” or “cyber attack” videos, but to hide the massive uprising of the middle class that is spreading worldwide due to unbearable contempt.

Paul Joseph Watson
Infowars.com
May 20
In a frightening example of how the state is tightening its grip around the free Internet, it has emerged that You Tube is complying with thousands of requests from governments to censor and remove videos that show protests and other examples of citizens simply asserting their rights, while also deleting search terms by government mandate.
The latest example is You Tube’s compliance with a request from the British government to censor footage of the British Constitution Group’s Lawful Rebellion protest, during which they attempted to civilly arrest Judge Michael Peake at Birkenhead county court.
Peake was ruling on a case involving Roger Hayes, former member of UKIP, who has refused to pay council tax, both as a protest against the government’s treasonous activities in sacrificing Britain to globalist interests and as a result of Hayes clearly proving that council tax is illegal.
Hayes has embarked on an effort to legally prove that the enforced collection… because no contract has been agreed between the individual and the state. His argument is based on the sound legal principle that just like the council, Hayes can represent himself as a third party in court and that “Roger Hayes” is a corporation and must be treated as one in the eyes of the law.
The British government doesn’t want this kind of information going viral in the public domain because it is scared stiff of a repeat of the infamous poll tax riots of 1990, a massive tax revolt in the UK that forced the Thatcher government to scrap the poll tax altogether because of mass civil disobedience and refusal to pay.
When viewers in the UK attempt to watch videos of the protest, they are met with the message, “This content is not available in your country due to a government removal request.”
more: http://www.infowars.com/government-orders-you-tube-to-censor-protes…
Of course, the first thing I did before starting to write this article was to vet the story. I clicked on the link to the censored video and it loaded absolutely fine for me. But as the article clearly states, it has been censored by the UK government, so viewers in the UK can’t view it.

So, I needed to trick YouTube into thinking I was visiting from within the UK to verified the video was actually censored. Here is how I did it.

1. Since I am using Firefox, I installed the FoxyProxy plugin from the Mozilla addons website. In short this will allow me to send a fake computer address (IP Address) to YouTube — or any other website — when I go to visit it. (It is really much more complicated but that should make it simple enough to understand).

FoxyProxy Plugin

After clicking add to Firefox it prompts me to restart Firefox.
2. I then Google for “proxy servers in the UK”. The first result in google gives me exactly what I want, “A List Of Fake Computer Addresses” I can use to send to YouTube.

3. I Open FoxyProxy (Within Firefox – Tools –> FoxyProxy Stand –> Options). Then Click Add New Proxy. On the form that pops up I enter the IP and Port of the Server I found in step 2.As shown in the example, you can enter 77.73.149.10 for the IP Address and 8080 for the port. Click OK and then OK Again!

FireProxy - Add New Proxy Server Dialog
As shown in the example, you can enter 77.73.149.10 for the IP Address and 8080 for the port. Click OK and then OK Again!

4. To start using the proxy server, in Firefox, Go to Tools->FoxyProxy Standard and Click on “Use Proxy 77.73.149.10:8080" for all urls.

5. Just to be sure its working go to WhatsMyIP.com and make sure you see this.

WhatsMyIp.com - Should show the IP Address you entered for the Proxy
- And in this case a message saying your using a proxy

Okay, that’s it; we are all set up. Now I attempt to pull up the YouTube video, this time tricking YouTube into thinking I am visiting from within side of Great Britain . . . and . . .

YouTube Video  Censored In the UK
YouTube Video Censored In the UK

Now, People in the UK can simply reverse the process and enter an IP Address from a proxy server from any other nation beside the United Kingdom.

Do Psychopaths Misrule Our World?


In recent days the political news has been like an episode of some TV drama about high-level corruption – call it Criminal Minds meets The West Wing. The head of the International Monetary Fund – the global financial organization that sets terms for development aid -- was jailed in New York for allegedly assaulting a housemaid sexually at his hotel. Meanwhile, in California news broke that the state’s movie-star governor – known as both the Terminator and the Gropinator – fathered a love-child almost a decade ago and it didn’t come out until he was about to leave office.

Then, of course, there’s the presidential campaign of Newt Gingrich, a poster child for bad behavior, launched last week with a series of disastrous missteps and rationalizations.

What the three men have in common, aside from wielding more influence than they can handle or deserve, is that their serial misbehavior went unchecked for years. In fact, it was rationalized as mere exuberance, frequently excused in “exceptional” people, when it actually demonstrated something else – ruling class impunity.

Ask yourself: Is it possible that these were isolated lapses in judgment? In other words, was this the only time Dominique Strauss-Kahn went after the help, or the only instance of Arnold Schwarzenegger cheating on his wife and exploiting those beneath him? Not too likely. And it’s surely not the only time Gingrich has excused his own bad behavior as a side effect of patriotism – while simultaneously trashing the basic humanity of a political opponent.

If these are patterns, why are millions so fascinated, often even seduced, by people whose behavior actually points to pathology? Perhaps we are wired to be attracted by psychopaths, sociopaths, narcissists, people so focused on their own central role in whatever takes place that the rest of us are sucked into their reality.

Think about entering a portal and emerging into the head of Donald Trump. What could that level of self-absorption be like? Begin by imagining a complete lack of empathy, one of the tell-tale signs of the psychopath.

Is Trump a psychopath? Well, he does score well on a 20 item checklist. And are there more psychopaths around us than we think? Not just serial killers and the violent type, but successful, powerful psychopaths who will do anything to win and affect our lives in profound ways?

The checklist, a way to help identify potential psychopaths among us, was developed by Bob Hare, a prison psychologist who conducted remarkable experiments and eventually codified his findings. Jon Ronson has provides an excellent history and analysis in his new book, The Psychopath Test.

Here’s the basic list, a collection of tendencies and an analytical tool to spot those who might be functioning psychopaths. The last two items relate specifically to criminals, but you don't have to be caught to have "criminal versatility." Keep in mind that having mild tendencies doesn’t make you a psychopath. But a high score – more than 30 on Hare’s 40 point scale – should be a warning sign. Personally, I give Trump and Gingrich high marks:

1.Glibness, superficial charm
2.Grandiose sense of self-worth
3.Need for stimulation, proneness to boredom
4.Pathological lying
5.Conning, manipulative
6.Lack of remorse or guilt
7.Shallow affect
8.Callous, lack of empathy
9.Parasitic lifestyle
10.Poor behavioral control
11.Promiscuous sexual behavior
12.Early behavior problems
13.Lack of realistic long-term goals
14.Impulsivity
15.Irresponsibility
16.Failure to accept responsibility for own actions
17.Many short-term marital relationships
18.Juvenile delinquency
19.Revocation of conditional release
20.Criminal versatility

the HEAT is ON, Rumsfeld!

Saad Ali- We Are Change Chicago
Anthony- We Are Change Ohio


CHICAGO, IL- Former Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld strolled into Chicago on May 17, 2011, for a speech at the globalist think tank, Chicago Council on Global Affairs. The audience was mainly comprised of your average "Coke drinking, McDonald's eating" yuppie, ready to bow down to Mr. Rumsfeld. They clapped and cheered as he approached the podium and delivered his globalist speech. The praising of such a criminal was mind blowing, and something had to be done. Mr. Rumsfeld's "accomplishments" have caused humanitarian suffering worldwide.

To start off, Rumsfeld is responsible for contributing to the approval of the artificial sweetener Aspartame. The known carcinogen has caused millions of people suffering around the world. Headaches, dizziness, neurological degeneration, macular degeneration, optic neuritis, insomnia, seizures, irregular heart rhythm, multiple sclerosis, lupus, Alzheimer's disease, autism, Tourettes syndrome, birth defects, Lou Gehrig's disease, Parkinson's disease, leukemia, low blood platelet, and diabetes are a few of the illnesses and disease caused by this poisonous drug. Think about how much better our health could be had Mr. Rumsfeld not pushed Aspartame into the market for human consumption. (Visit Natural News for more information)

Furthermore, Rumsfeld is highly responsible for the destruction of Iraq, the death of one million Iraqi's, and thousands of US soldiers. Based on the false claim that Saddam Hussein had WMD's, they took the initiative and bombed Iraq. Extensive evidence proves that 9/11 was absolutely an inside job. Recently on the Mancow Show, Rumsfeld was asked what he tells people about building 7, and he replied by asking, "What is building 7?"... "I have no idea. I have never heard that."

With all this in mind, how can people actually sit there and listen to this murdering terrorist praise his latest globalist, garbage, and worthless book? Saad Ali of We Are Change Chicago and Anthony from We Are Change Ohio attended the event. Fortunately, the heavily controlled Q&A session did not follow through as planned.

Saad was given a chance to ask a question, so he asked, "Some of your greatest accomplishments have been cause to some of the most horrible human suffering... One million dead in Iraq, thousands of dead Americans, legalizing Aspartame, How do you live with that sir?" Rumsfeld announced that he would take on the Aspartame part, and the audience chuckled.

He completely lied about the truth of what Aspartame can do to the human body, and in turn said that it was "the most studied food additive." He said that it was "good" for the body and that people who believe that Aspartame causes various health issues, as it has been proven to do over and over, are "conspiracy theorists."

Unsatisfied with his answer, Saad demanded a response for the one million innocent Iraqi's who were murdered during the Iraq war. He stood up and asked, "What about the one million Iraqi's?" Security immediately ran towards Saad and began grabbing his camera, while the globalist, shoe-licking mediator demanded Saad to sit down. He refused to sit down, and spoke his mind, hoping the audience would realize that this traitor had deceived America at the expense of the people of Iraq and our own US soldiers. Security grabbed Saad and dragged him out of the building.

Anthony of We Are Change Ohio walked in as Saad was kicked out, and security immediately grabbed him and escorted him out of the building. How or why they knew we were together is still unknown.

The audience members walking out of the building had mixed views on the confrontation. Some felt that it was necessary to scold and question him on such issues, and some were completely disgusted by the confrontation (The guy at the end.)

The wars have resulted in the death of millions of innocent men, women, and children. Their God given right of living, loving, and enjoying this life has been stripped by criminals like Rumsfeld. Billions of people have fallen victim to the poisonous chemical Aspartame, and their lives will never be the same.

These are crimes on humanity, and not on an individual race, religion, creed, nation, or people. A crime on humanity is a crime on us all. We are in this together, and we must fight for justice for one another. Please, take advantage of the few rights we still have, and get out there while you still can. Peacefully demand answers from these murderers and wake up your friends and family.

Spanish protesters challenge status quo


Uploaded by on 22 May 2011

In Spain's most politically conservative of cities, an unexpected and growing revolt - against the status quo, established political institutions, and against the old acceptance that nothing much will ever change.

The country's ruling party is facing growing anger over Spain's economic problems, and many people shunned the polls and chosen to protest instead.

Robert is an educational activist who specializes in any form of activism stretching from school corruption to political parties and how they operate. Hopefully this video serves as a reminder that you may be right, but many people have no heart to base their own opinion so you will receive hate no matter what your beliefs may be. Stand strong, don't let anyone tell you why you are doing what you do. Only you know your true motivation for action, as long as you hold your morals close and beliefs in your heart nobody can stop you from spreading the truth.

Magic Mushroom Medicine

Psilocybin mushrooms, much loved by alternative and tribal cultures, but reviled and ridiculed by the mainstream, are once again gaining acceptance by researchers who see value in their healing potential.

UCLA School of Medicine professor Charles Grob observed in a study done with terminal Stage IV cancer patients that psilocybin helped to alleviate their anxiety.

“They told us that their experiences helped them to live in the moment, to take each day as it came in the time they had remaining, instead of becoming immobilized because of their predicament,” Grob said.

While psilocybin is similar to conventional anti-depressants in that it bolsters mood and produces feelings of happiness, it has a more substantial, long-lasting impact. Anti-depressants merely mask symptoms of depression, while psilocybin, according to Grob, “facilitates what’s been called a psycho-spiritual epiphany.”

Prior to the 60s and 70s, when psychedelic research became the subject of sensational journalism and hyperbolic government scare tacts, leading to their illegal status in 1968, studies found psilocybin to be effective in treating schizophrenia and alcoholism. Now after all these years, controlled experiments are “experiencing a rebirth,” according to William Richards of the John Hopkins Bayview Medical Center.

Because the side effects of psilocybin are relatively benign compared to those of many pharmaceuticals, they demonstrate great potential in being utilized once again in mainstream research. Rick Doblin, executive director of MAPS, the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies, speaks optimistically of these possibilities but at the same time fears that they might work too well to be accepted in the pharmaceutical industry, which thrives on the short-term effectiveness of medications for profit

“No one’s going to take one psilocybin pill before breakfast and another one after dinner for thirty years,” Dobin said.

It’s up to us as consumers to reject products that drain our wallets and ridicule our conditions by slapping on bandaids that don’t cure our sickness so much as distract us with other sicknesses. It’s up to those of us who have experienced the benefits of psychedelics to speak openly and positively of these benefits.

Mike, a San-Francisco based software engineer who forages for magic mushrooms in his spare time, said, “Psilocybin allows me to see things with a fresh point of view. When I’m on them, I’m not as burdened by cynicism or other self-protective layers in my psychology.”

The Spanish are Rising…

Thousands have taken to the streets this week in Spain to protest against corruption, precariousness, unemployment, and a political structure that favors a two-party system. “We’re not merchandise in the hands of bankers and politicians,” was the motto of tens of thousands who demonstrated all over the country on May 15, a few days before the upcoming regional elections.

It did not stop there. The demonstrations were followed by a peaceful sit-in on May 16, with hundreds camping at Madrid’s main square, la “Puerta del Sol.” The movement, mainly coordinated by the youth organization Democracia Real Ya [es], has been extremely active online.

The huge gap between politicians and the rest of citizens is really alarming news. 15M is not the only symptom that proves this democracy is not a healthy one and will not survive if injustice, corruption and impunity prevail. The fact that politicians are considered as one of the country’s main problems (according to CIS, the Spanish Center for Sociological Research) is something parties should not ignore if they don’t want to be run over by society.

Thousands of citizens were surprised to see so many people demonstrating to demand jobs, yes, but also demanding more democratic participation adapted to the possibilities technology offers nowadays, fair international relations based on human beings instead of big corporations, the elimination of justice and poverty in the world… “We’re sick of being sick,” “Politicians lie, bankers rob us, the rich laugh,” “We’re mad and outraged”…

Demanding the Evidence on Abbottabad: Even the Media Establishment Is Wary


Since the Navy SEAL raid in Abbottabad, we’ve been raising questions (here and here) about the stories we were told—and what we were not told.

It seems we have company in feeling that the government is not leveling with us.

The Associated Press is the establishment, and so they tend to be quite cautious. Yet look at this, as reported by Atlanticwire:

President Obama’s decision to withhold the visual evidence of Osama bin Laden’s death has created a fundamental disagreement between the White House and one of the largest journalism organizations in the world. “This information is important for the historical record,” said Michael Oreskes, senior managing editor at The Associated Press. “That’s our view.”

It’s worth pointing out that “important for the historical record” is a tactful way of dressing up the issue. The United States is supposed to be a democracy, but for a very long time the citizens have had good reason not to trust what they are told about what is done in their name, and why. (Gulf of Tonkin, Iran Contra, Weapons of Mass Destruction, on and on—name your favorite deception.)

Last Monday, the AP filed a Freedom of Information Act request for the photographic and video evidence taken during the raid on bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. The organization’s FOIA request included a reminder of the president’s campaign pledge and a plea to be more transparent than his predecessor. ”The Obama White House ‘pledged to be the most transparent government in U.S. history,” wrote the AP, “and to comply much more closely with the Freedom of Information Act than the Bush administration did.’”

Again, what AP presumably really meant was that there’s a staggering gap between Obama’s promise to open up government and what he has actually done. For more on this, see this recent example from the publication Secrecy News, just one of hundreds. (In this case, a report on corruption in the Afghan Central Bank was removed from the USAID website after the agency reclassified some of its contents.)

Back to the AP story:

Two days later, the president told60 Minutes he would not release any of the footage related to the raid, including video of bin Laden’s deep sea burial and photographs of his slain corpse. Though Oreskes voices his disagreement diplomatically, there’s no way around it: The AP believes the president is wrong to maintain exclusive ownership of the evidence. ”We’re asking to see it,” said Oreskes in an interview with The Atlantic Wire. “It’s about us saying we would like to make our own news judgements about news worthy material.”

Diplomatic as ever. But the difference between what members of the corporate-funded media write and what they say in private over drinks could, well, fill a newspaper. Basically, by now, even the most clueless establishment reporter is starting to get a clear sense that something ain’t right in Washington, and that it doesn’t really matter who is president or what party he calls his own. Not when powerful international interests—and hugely valuable natural resources—are at stake.

The Very Existence of the Queen Is Against Any Notion of Democracy


This is just one of a number of compelling charges set down by Morrissey in an article written for Hot Press, to coincide with the Queen's visit to Ireland

The Queen's visit to Ireland is part of a new Palace PR campaign to re-invent the Windsors. The message from the Queen will be the same as ever: who we are born to is more important than what we achieve in life.

It should be remembered by the Irish people that as recently as the turn of the 1980s the Queen supported Margaret Thatcher by not dismissing Thatcher as she allowed hunger strikers to die at the Maze Prison, most famously Bobby Sands, who was 27 years old. As Sands starved to death in protest at being tagged a 'criminal' and not a 'political prisoner' by the Thatcher government, the Queen sat in her Palace and said nothing. If the Queen had any human feelings for the Sands family or other hunger strikers then she did not express them.

The full meaning of the Monarchy is, like the Queen herself, a complete mystery to most people. It is protected from any investigations by ridiculous stories of trivia and wedding dresses and on-again-off-again soap-drama romances. The most revealing statement came from Commander Christine Jones of the Metropolitan Police last month, when she warned that any British people carrying anti-royal placards who are "seen in the vicinity of the royal wedding would be removed under the Public Order Act." This means that any political dissent in England is silenced in order to protect the royals, which in itself goes against every principle of democracy.

The very existence of the Queen and her now enormous family – all supported by the British taxpayer whether the British taxpayer likes it or not – is entirely against any notion of democracy, and is against freedom of speech. For a broad historical view of what the Queen is and how she "rules", examine Gaddafi or Mubarak, and see if you can spot any difference.

You won't be able to.

The Queen also has the power to give back the six counties to the Irish people, allowing Ireland to be a nation once again. The fact that she has not done so is Fascism in full flow. What else could it be? Name one other European country that is controlled by its neighbour?

SNP SPEAKS OUT ON PALESTINE, LOCKERBIE AND IRAQ

The Scottish Government is speaking out about Lockerbie, Iraq and Palestine.

The Scottish Government curently has limited powers, but hopes to achieve independence for Scotland.

1. On 15 May 2011, we learn that Scotland's new Scottish National Party government aims to publish evidence which suggests that Megrahi may not have done the 1988 Lockerbie bombing.

The Scottish Government plans to change the law to allow the publication of papers from the Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission.

The Commission said there were six grounds for thinking a miscarriage of justice had occurred.

SNP plans law change over Lockerbie files

Currently the release of the Lockerbie files can be blocked by one or more of the parties who gave evidence to the review.

Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond said in February 2011 that he would change the law if the SNP won a second term.

Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill told the Scottish Sunday Express: "This is something the new SNP Government will do in early course. We have always been as transparent as possible.

"And following the announcement last December that the SCCRC was unable to secure the necessary consents to release its statement of reasons in the Megrahi case due to current legislation we now intend to bring forward primary legislation to overcome those problems presented by the consent provisions."

2. Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond says that an independent Scotland would follow its own foreign policy.

Alex Salmond says that an independent Scotland would not have taken part in the war in Iraq.

According to Alex Salmond, "(Iraq) stresses why you've got to ... chart your own way in the world so you don't get entangled into illegal and disastrous international conflicts".

(Alex Salmond: Scotland 'would share military' under independence / Scotland's Salmond says could share military / SNP lowers sights to 'independence-lite')

3. The Scottish National Party wants Scotland to be rid of Trident nuclear weapons.

The UK military employs 20,000 people in Scotland.

The UK military spends an average 600 million pounds a year in Scotland on 500 contracts.

Alex Salmond's Scottish National Party wants to keep its military.

According to Alex Salmond:

"Many many countries in the world share military facilities with friendly neighbours, and there is absolutely no reason why Scotland wouldn't be prepared to do that."

4. The Scottish First Minister supports sanctions against Israel

The SNP has called for the suspension of EU-Israel agreements.

Protect IP Act threatens the Internet, blogs that tell the truth, & site operators

Author: Brian D. Hill

Related: Tell your senators to vote No on S.968 the bill number of the ‘Protect IP Act’, Obama Administration To Begin Shutting Down Websites

UPDATE!!! I found the name of the bill and it is S.968. Start calling all your representatives to vote no on the S-968 Senate Bill. It is urgent unless you rather not be legally allowed to get the truth out. If you want to get the truth out then please keep calling and faxing your senators that you want S-968 t0 be thrown in the trash can.

A new bill being supported by the Obama Administration and being sponsored by at least 11 senators of all stripes is being introduced that will threaten news aggregation, truth blogs, documentary filmmakers, political websites, and any website that uses portions or snippets from mainstream media websites or any portion of any copyrighted content.

The bill titled ‘Protect IP Act‘ with the bill number ‘GRA11400′ hosted on Senator Patrick Leahy’s website tells a story that what this bill will do is grant the U.S. Government the power to bring lawsuits against any blog or website that uses any portion or excerpt of any copyrighted materials and obtain court orders requiring search engines like Google to stop displaying links to them. If you don’t believe me then read the bill yourself which is 30 pages long right now. In fact I will embed this scary bill from Scribd for any of you who wish to read this bill to confirm what I am saying.
Protect IP Act by Obama Administration and 11 senators – Read this crazy bill!

This bill is yet another bill that will further give the U.S. Government even more power to shut down any website which criticizes the Establishment or any mega fascist Corporation all under the guise of further protecting copyright. The problem with this new copyright bill is that it violates Fair Use Exemptions. This bill also violates the U.S. Constitution because of the fact that they can sue websites and demand that search engines can censor any website that the Obama Administration or the Supreme Court thinks is committing copyright infringement. This bill also means you cannot post any copyrighted images on your website even if it is for an educational purpose because the Federal Government will view your site as willfully infringing another persons content and use that as an excuse to shut down your site and sue you in Federal Court.

While copyright is necessary to a certain extent, we cannot trade our civil liberties and our 1st amendment for more corporate copyright controls.

In fact this isn’t the only time the U.S. Government has attempted using copyright or some other do-good method to shut down or control the Internet. The U.S. Government has seized many domains under the guise of stopping pirated video streaming websites, Obama attempted to pass a ‘kill-switch’ bill plus giving Joe Lieberman the power to shut down any website he wishes with just a phone call, and U.S. authorities have shut down a WordPress host with around 73,000 blogs.

If the U.S. Government has attempted to control and censor the Internet before it will most likely happen again. The establishments agenda is on the wall that they want to either control the Internet to be more like cable TV or have it shut down. The one that told that agenda is non other then Jay Rockefeller.

Psychological Operations


Uploaded by

Psychological operations are planned propaganda operations to convey selected information and indicators to foreign audiences to influence their emotions, motives, objective reasoning, and ultimately the behaviour of foreign governments, organisations, groups, and individuals.

The purpose of United States psychological operations (PSYOP) is to induce or reinforce behaviour favourable to US objectives. They are an important part of the range of diplomatic, informational, military, and economic activities available to the US. They can be utilised during both peacetime and conflict. There are three main types: strategic, operational, and tactical. Strategic PSYOP include informational activities conducted by the US government agencies outside of the military arena, though many utilise Department of Defense (DOD) assets. Operational PSYOP are conducted across the range of military operations, including during peacetime, in a defined operational area to promote the effectiveness of the joint force commander's (JFC) campaigns and strategies. Tactical PSYOP are conducted in the area assigned to a tactical commander across the range of military operations to support the tactical mission against opposing forces.

PSYOP can encourage popular discontent with the opposition's leadership and by combining persuasion with a credible threat, degrade an adversary's ability to conduct or sustain military operations. They can also disrupt, confuse, and protract the adversary's decision-making process, undermining command and control. When properly employed, PSYOP have the potential to save the lives of friendly or enemy forces by reducing the adversary's will to fight. By lowering the adversary's morale and then its efficiency, PSYOP can also discourage aggressive actions by creating disaffection within their ranks, ultimately leading to surrender.
