FAQ: Why are Globalist Think-Tank Documents Public?

Tony Cartalucci, Contributing Writer

Q. Why are such research documents -- Which Path to Persia? or "String of Pearls" -- made public on the Web? If these are in fact strategic and provide a view into the world powers that run the show on our globe, why would they allow such "sensitive" information and "plans" to be made public for everyone to read?

Image: Despite producing the vast majority of rules, regulations, laws and policies that dictate the destiny of Western civilization, as well as drawing up plans for war, these corporate-funded, corporate-serving think-tanks are little known amongst the general public. Despite publishing much of their work on publicly accessible websites, most people will never know about it, let alone take the time to read it.

A. You can't keep global empire a secret -- by necessity you need people to believe in your cause -- even if you dress it up and spin it as something other than naked conquest. The global corporate-financier elite manage access to information by marketing different levels of it to different demographics. This has been done throughout all of history. The reasoning used with the aristocracy to keep them in line was more straightforward and pragmatic than the absolute fantasies used to dupe and manipulate the common man.


It works in layers -- papers like "Which Path to Persia?" being toward the top are aimed at people who believe in global governance and globalization -- professors, senior editors, CEOs etc. who falsely believe they have a stake in the process -- and while it is made public, it is generally inaccessible to the average reader because of its use of academic English, length, and very high minimal requirements in understanding the history, strategy, geopolitics, and human nature necessary to understand the contents.

On Brookings' own website you will also see their policy makers pen articles & op-eds for newspapers, sufficiently dumbed-down, in plainer English, and with noticeably more spin in place of the straightforward frankness of pieces like "Which Path to Persia?" Consider Kenneth Pollack, co-author of "Which Path to Persia?," then penning this fluff piece, "Iran's Covert War Against the US" for the Daily Beast.

Below that, is your corporate-media propaganda which is almost entirely useless and also the most widely viewed by the greatest number of people. Those that believe anything they see on CNN or Fox are generally unaware that organizations like Brookings even exist -- despite their "experts" often being brought on for commentary & analysis.
As much as the alternative media has grown, a tremendous amount of ordinary people have still never heard of PNAC, Agenda 21, Brookings (let alone any specific work of theirs) and so on. Also, keep in mind that "Which Path to Persia?" while being incredibly frank and incriminating, is not necessarily the pinnacle manifestation of their conspiracy -- which most likely would not be "public." However, human nature being what it is, we can take what they do make known, and what human history has already taught us and extrapolate what indeed they are really up to and why.

I am acutely aware of a possible strategy of tension created by dictating the tempo & nature of global conflict by publicly releasing apparent intentions -- then again the global elite of Wall Street and London really are subverting governments with US/UK funded NGOs and there is a paper trail overtly, publicly proving it. Since these NGOs are defended publicly as doing "humanitarian" work when targeted governments crack down on them, they must show where their funding comes from and appear, at least to the ignorant, to be legitimate. Despite both governments -- the aggressor and the besieged -- knowing the truth, the fact that so many gullible people don't understand that the "National Endowment for Democracy" is actually a corporate fascist front, tips the balance of power in favor of the greater propagandist -- Wall Street/London.

Of course, the only thing we can ever be sure of is ourselves, our family and friends, and people in our immediate community. That is why facing the vast landscape of geopolitics, and a means of implementing change across it, is better off being started in your own backyard, on your own block, and in your own community. It is easy to identify those in society who have acquired unwarranted influence, and just as easy in many cases to immediately begin boycotting and replacing them with local solutions.

The Pirate Bay now lets you download physical objects

Other file sharing sites may be shutting down in the aftermath of the MegaUpload raid, but the Pirate Bay is expanding instead. The site announced Monday that users can now download physical objects as well — sort of, anyway. The Pirate Bay introduced a new content category called “Physibles” that’s being used to trade digital designs that can be used with 3-D printers to recreate physical objects. From the announcement blog post:

We believe that the next step in copying will be made from digital form into physical form. It will be physical objects. Or as we decided to call them: Physibles. Data objects that are able (and feasible) to become physical. We believe that things like three dimensional printers, scanners and such are just the first step. We believe that in the nearby future you will print your spare sparts for your vehicles. You will download your sneakers within 20 years.

The idea to share these kinds of designs online is, of course, not new. Thingverse has been offering tinkerers a way to share their own 3-D designs for years. However, the Pirate Bay’s approach is to completely ignore any property rights to these objects. The category itself currently only contains a handful of designs, but the folks at the Pirate Bay seem to think it’s a big enough deal for them to almost change the name:

We believe that the future of sharing is about physible data. We’re thinking of temporarily renaming ourselves to The Product Bay – but we had no graphical artist around to make a logo. In the future, we’ll download one.

It remains to be seen whether the sharing of “physibles” will be as popular as traditional file sharing any time soon. But it could complicate the copyright debate even if it remains a fringe phenomenon for the foreseeable future, as one of the Bay’s users pointed out in the comments to a torrent labeled “1970 Chevelle Hot-Rod 3d model”:

Disclosure: Thingverse is run by Makerbot Industries, a company that has received an investment from True Ventures, which is also an investor in GigaOM. GigaOM’s founder Om Malik is also a venture partner at True.

Dan Bull Releases His Own Megaupload Song

by

While the takedown of Megaupload last week came as somewhat of a shock, some things in life are a little more predictable – like the speed and sharpness of UK artist Dan Bull.

Dan, who has covered many online issues such as those involving The Pirate Bay and SOPA, is back again today with another track, this time about Megaupload.

“Back in 2009 I published my first album ‘Safe’ via Megaupload, and sent the link to numerous music bloggers and reviewers. The Megaupload URL became the de facto home of my album,” Dan told TorrentFreak when asked about his motivation to write the song.

“Now, through no fault of my own, that URL has disappeared without any warning. All the links on those music blogs? Dead, along with three years of stats which I used to track where downloads were coming from.”

“Regardless of the legal case against Megaupload, the owners of the site haven’t been convicted of anything. By taking all content down it’s a case of shoot first, ask questions later. As a result of the RIAA pushing for this action, supposedly to defend music, independent artists like myself get hurt. It’s even been suggested to me that I should pursue a legal case against the US authorities for ‘stealing’ my album,” Dan adds.

Enjoy the song

Happy Chinese New Year


Image Source: Water Dragon Inc.

Today is the Chinese New Year, calculated through the lunisolar calendar. Hence it is also known technically as the Lunar New Year, celebrated as well in other cultures. In the Chinese astrological tradition, this is the year of the Water Dragon, and the beginning of the Chinese Spring Festival. According to this site, a Water Dragon year, last experienced in 1952, is one where conformity and authority can be challenged and innovation encouraged. The watery aspect is a positive one, and calms the dragon's showy enthusiasm and gives the expansive fire a measure of introspection and contemplation.


As for Chinese astrological parallels with the past - what happened in 1952?

In January of that year, there were riots in Cairo and many downtown landmarks were burned in anti-British protests. The 750 buildings that were destroyed or damaged included the Opera House. These buildings were associated with Europeans. The country exploded in a nationalist, anti-imperialist revolution on July 23, overthrew King Farouk, and kicked out the British occupation, which had been there since 1882. Within a year, Egypt became a republic and Sudan became independent. The major strategic concern was the Suez Canal, which fell under Egyptian control.


The French were at war in Vietnam in the First Indochina War, which culminated in the Battle of Nà Sản.

There was a communist campaign to suppress nationalist guerrillas and bandits in southern China. There was also an Islamic insurgency in China. Supported by the nationalist Kuomintang and the CIA, Chinese Muslim insurgents operated out of Tibet to counter the spread of communism in China.

The University of Tennessee admitted its first African-American student.


Ernest Hemingway published The Old Man in the Sea. This seems a pretty fitting work of literature for a Water Dragon year! You can read the full text of the story for free, here. For rare pictures of Hemingway in Cuba go here. The fisherman who inspired him died in 2002.

Sony, a new Japanese company, introduced the first pocket-sized transistor radio.


Elizabeth became Queen of the UK and Commonwealth through a trick of fate. Her accession made the Brits hope that things would get, um, better. Time voted the young queen Person of the Year,
"finding that her significance was that 'of a fresh young blossom on roots that had weathered many a season of wintry doubt. The British, as weary and discouraged as the rest of the world in 1952, saw in their new young Queen a reminder of a great past... and dared to hope that she might be an omen of a great future.'"
A list of 1952 events is here. Perhaps the wheel will turn full circle and that omen for a great future will be fulfilled in 2012. There is also a New Moon in the sign of Aquarius today, which stresses new beginnings, while wrapping up older concerns.

The Pirate Bay is enemy #1 for digital piracy foes

ThePirateBay.org is one of the Internet's most popular trading  posts for copyright-protected media like TV shows and movies.

@CNNMoneyTech

ThePirateBay.org is one of the Internet's most popular trading posts for copyright-protected media like TV shows and movies.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- One day after a massive online protest against proposed new anti-piracy laws, federal agents shut down Megaupload, a popular hub for illegal file sharing.

But the most famous nexus for digital piracy sailed through the week unscathed. It's called The Pirate Bay, and it's the poster child for the kinds of "rogue" overseas sites Congress took aim at with a pair of bills called SOPA and PIPA. (Click here for our explainer: What SOPA is and why it matters.)

Run by an organization registered in the Seychelles, The Pirate Bay bills itself as the "world's largest tracker of BitTorrent files."

BitTorrent is a free software program that lets its 150 million users swap and download large media files. The tool has many legitimate uses, but it's also heavily used to illegally trade movies and other copyrighted content. The Pirate Bay can be confusing to those who aren't fluent geeks. Downloading files requires installing and learning to use torrent software, and the site's ad-choked pages aren't easy to understand at a glance.

But the system is extremely resilient -- and it's a haven for digital piracy. On Friday afternoon, one day after Megaupload's death, more than 36 million computers were connected to The Pirate Bay's network. Recent episodes of the TV shows "Vampire Diaries," "Big Bang Theory" and "The Mentalist" were among the day's most popular downloads, along with the video game "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3" and the just-released movie "War Horse."

The Pirate Bay is firmly in the U.S. government's crosshairs. Senator Orrin Hatch, who co-chairs the Congressional International Anti-Piracy Caucus, once denounced it on the Senate floor, and in December, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative highlighted The Pirate Bay on its list of "markets notorious for privacy."

The Pirate Bay simply operates a tracking network, so none of the copyright-protected files users commonly swap ever sit on the site's own servers. That makes it very hard to kill.

The site has successfully survived a number of assassination attempts in its nine-year existence.

Swedish anti-copyright organization Piratbyrån started The Pirate Bay in late 2003, taking advantage of the country's lax copyright laws. By October 2004, a handful of individuals were running the site independently.

It became a non-profit organization in 2006 -- the same year that brought The Pirate Bay a boatload of legal woes.

On May 31, 2006, police raided The Pirate Bay's office in Stockholm and confiscated the site's servers. The site went down for three days -- some users initially thought it was an April Fool's joke -- and temporarily moved its servers to the Netherlands. Protests broke out on the Swedish streets.

The Pirate Bay blamed the police raid on the Motion Picture Association of America, which acknowledged to Wired that it had "made criminal complaints" to Swedish authorities.

In 2007, Swedish officials charged three Pirate Bay operators and one of its financiers with "promoting other people's infringements of copyright laws." The trial took two years and ended with the conviction of operators Fredrik Neij, Peter Sunde and Gottfrid Svartholm as well as businessman Carl Lundström.

The four were sentenced to one year in jail and a fine of $905,000 each. All except Svartholm, who was ill and skipped his scheduled court appearances, appealed the sentence, and in 2010 it was amended to include less jail time but a higher fine. The case is still ongoing: The three plan to take their battle to Sweden's Supreme Court.

Svartholm hasn't been seen publicly in several years. His whereabouts are unknown.

"Nobody is in contact with him," Sunde told online news site TorrentFreak late last year. "For all we know he might be dead, since no-one can reach him."

'0 torrents will ever be removed': The Pirate Bay's operators aren't fazed by the past legal actions, nor are they ruffled by threats of future lawsuits. They publicly thumb their noses at cease-and-desist letters from copyright holders, some of which are compiled on the site's "legal threats" section.

The Pirate Bay's responses to these letters are also posted: merry, expletive-laden missives that deride companies that cite U.S. laws in their complaints.

As the site told Dreamworks: "As you may or may not be aware, Sweden is not a state in the United States of America. Sweden is a country in northern Europe. Unless you figured it out by now, US law does not apply here. For your information, no Swedish law is being violated."

At the bottom of the Legal Threats page, The Pirate Bay makes its stance even more clear.

"For the law firms who don't get the hint above: we used to have a nice graph here, but it's simpler to just say: 0 torrents has [sic] been removed, and 0 torrents will ever be removed."

BIG BROTHER NEVER GOES AWAY.

Big brother never goes away, the tentacles of the corporate empire wriggle their way into ever aspect of your life. Government is there to further the aim and to protect the wealth of the corporate empire. It always takes a consolidated effort by the people to stop this continued attempt at control over all aspects of our life, the Internet is there for you as a tool of self expression and creativity and they don't like that, if they can't control it then they will do their damnedest to destroy it. This bill going through Congress is just another example of the corporate fascism that demands total control over our lives. Only the strength of people power can stop their strangling the creativity of the people.



Tell Congress not tocensor the Internet NOW! - fightforthefuture.org/pipa

PROTECT-IPis a bill that has been introduced in the Senate and the House and ismoving quickly through Congress. It gives the government andcorporations the ability to censor the net, in the name of protecting"creativity". The law would let the government orcorporations censor entire sites-- they just have to convince a judgethat the site is "dedicated to copyright infringement."
The government has already wrongly shut down sites withoutany recourse to the site owner. Under this bill, sharing a video withanything copyrighted in it, or what sites like Youtube and Twitterdo, would be considered illegal behaviour according to this bill.
According to the Congressional Budget Office, this bill wouldcost us $47 million tax dollars a year — that's for a fix thatwon't work, disrupts the Internet, stifles innovation, shuts outdiverse voices, and censors the Internet. This bill is bad forcreativity and does not protect your rights.

Dead body found on royal front lawn raises questions about personal lives of the elite

J.G. Vibes
Activist Post

In the alternative media we are known to cover some very controversial and sensitive topics. Many of us, myself included, normally prefer to stay with topics like war, banking, genetically modified food and the growing police state. These are all issues that are backed with mountains of cold hard evidence. However, there are some other issues that are equally as important, but far more difficult to bring up in the public arena.

One particular topic that is hotly debated in activist circles is the depravity of the private lives led by those in power, such as the British Royal Family. We know and understand that these people are capable and obviously guilty of directing some of the most horrific acts of violence seen on this planet, but all of this violence is most often carried out through organizations and other people so they can maintain their benevolent image.

Sadly, the reality and intentions of those in power is often far from benevolent. In almost every case of royalty and authority across the planet, and throughout history, we have seen time after time that those who lust for and hold power are driven to commit extreme acts of violence and authoritarianism. Even if mass murder and slavery were at one time more socially acceptable, that does not change the moral injustice that has taken place -- and it does not excuse the crimes of these historical aggressors.

Out of all of the bloodthirsty tyrannies in the world, the British Royal Family is without a doubt the most vile, in terms of their global influence, as well as their deep history of corruption and violence. If the native populations slaughtered by the British crown in the past century were tallied, there is no doubt in my mind that the body count would surpass that of Stalin and Hitler combined.


The queen holds over 1/6 of the world’s land, and this territory was in no way acquired by peaceful or legitimate means. We could even argue that the war crimes carried out by British colonies like America and Israel are also a direct result of the global policy that is handed down by the royal family and their cohorts in the banking industry.

With all of this being the case people still have a hard time believing that some really sick stuff may be happening behind the closed doors of those in power. There is plenty of evidence that makes the case for these kinds of accusations, but because these people control the police, the media and the entire public discourse, they are always able to sweep their crimes under the rug.

One such controversy has presented itself in the first weeks of 2012, when the body of a teenage girl was found on the royal family’s private estate in Sandringham, Norfolk. The media and the police are of course denying that there is any evidence linking the royal family to the body and claiming that any accusations at this point are purely circumstantial. However, they seem to be overlooking the history of mysterious deaths surrounding the royal family, as well as their involvement in human trafficking for the purposes of torture and sex slavery.

One thing that I personally find very curious about this developing storyline is that the victim here was not a local, but was in fact a woman that was from Eastern Europe, thousands of miles from the royal estate. The victim and a close friend were said to be staying in a migrant worker camp, in slave like conditions.

This is interesting because aristocratic elites with close ties to the Royal Family have actually been convicted of importing sex slaves from various areas of Eastern Europe. The Royal Family has even been implicated by many victims in this horrible kidnapping ring. Last year, billionaire hedge fund manager and close associate of the royal family, Jeffrey Epstein, was charged with various counts of kidnapping, pedophilia and human trafficking. Despite damning evidence and multiple witness testimonies, Epstein used his political pull and financial resources to beat the case and get a minimal sentence.

Due to this controversy Prince Andrew took a lot of heat from the public, as he was a very close friend of Epstein’s and spent a whole lot of time with him. Some victims in this case have even claimed that Epstein “shared” his sex slaves with the Royal Family and would present them in the form of “gifts”.

If we combine all of this information with the fact that this is not the first time that a dead body has mysteriously appeared on a royal estate in the past year, we have every right to be suspicious. What’s worse is that the royal family enjoyed their Boxing Day shoot, just yards away from the crime scene, just about a week before the body was discovered.

Now, I’ll admit, this evidence wouldn’t be enough to put someone away. However, if you or I were implicated in a similar situation, this evidence would without a doubt make us prime suspects in the murder, and justify the search of our belongings and full investigation into our activities.

Unfortunately, we do not yet live in a world where everyone is held to the same standards, so people who have silly costumes and own a vast amount of the planet will never even be looked at as potential suspects in a murder case, even if a dead body appears of their front lawn.

So much can be said about the Royal Family, from their relation to the historical Count Dracula, to their involvement in human trafficking, to their support of the Nazi regime. Prince harry has even been seen at parties dressed like Hitler, complete with swastika patch and all. As horrifying as all of this is, and as important as it is that we know these things, it is also important to understand that these transgressions are minor in comparison to the institutionalized violence that this bloodline and others employ through governments, corporations and multinational control systems such as the United Nations.

Joseph Stalin said "One death is a tragedy, one million is a statistic." This may not be true, but, sadly, this is how people look at things. So while the millions killed in the Middle East and elsewhere are a far greater crime than one body found on a royal estate, this is a tragedy that is easier for people to wrap their minds around. Therefore, digging deeper into this crime could expose the overall sentiment of the elite and push the public dialogue about war and oppression closer to reality.

Integral Pychedelics: Tripping and the Word of God by http://www.NeuroSoup.com

During many of my trips, I experienced a language that came to me in the form of chants and songs. It wasn't a language I'd spoken before yet it seemed as though it was the language that formed reality. Likewise, it felt familiar. Oh so familiar. It was precious and full of love. It was like the one mind had enveloped me and was flowing through me, as it always is. The eternal now given voice. It helps me navigate altered states, fills me with light, and gives me strength.

And ever since those initial trips, I've sought out people who have shared similar experiences as mine. One of these people I believe is John, the apostle of Jesus in Christianity.

The Banking Backstory Behind Friday The 13th

J.G. Vibes
Activist Post

The unlucky Friday the 13th is one of the most well-recognized superstitions in the Western world. This tradition is over 700 years old and has a very interesting origin.

During the 12th century there was a massive religious war that consumed most of Europe and Asia. Europeans referred to these times as “the crusades”. This war lasted centuries and allowed an elite class of knights to accumulate so much power and wealth that their influence rivaled both the monarchy and the church. The knights of the temple of Solomon, or more commonly known as “The Knights Templar” were the most influential political force of their time. They were the world’s first international bankers and were the corporate giant of the middle ages.

The Templar Knights were a military force throughout the entire crusades, but didn’t become a strong political organization until they were given diplomatic immunity by the church in 1126. Their close relationship with the church was unusual for the time, as the lifestyle of a knight was usually associated more with the monarchy. The Knights Templar represented both the warrior and the priest, and were often referred to as the “fighting monks”. This best-of-both-worlds diplomacy allowed the knights to form their own political dynasty that transcended the established powers of the time. They did not have to abide by the same rules as the church or the monarchy, but they had the advantage and privileges of both institutions.

During the crusades it was rumored that the Templars studied alchemy and discovered forbidden knowledge on their journeys. This would not be the first time that this has happened in history, it is actually quite common for conquerors to return home with ancient artifacts, just like Napoleon did with the Rosetta Stone, for example. Some say that instead of offering their discoveries to museums, the Templars kept the artifacts and knowledge within their own order. This is all speculation and legend, but what we do know for certain is that the Templars were sneaky businessmen and became the world’s first multinational bankers.


They had most of the known world caught in a complex pyramid scheme that is eerily similar to the scams that are being run by international bankers today. They collected taxes for protecting trade roads, bankrolled both sides of all the wars and exploited the massive peasant class and used them as workhorses to build their fortunes. Through these shady practices the knights ended up having more money than the monarchy and the church combined. Both the church and the monarchy were deeply in debt to the Templars from loans they had taken out, so one would be able to argue quite easily that the Templars were the most dominant political institution of the time.

Eventually the monarchy grew very threatened by the immense power of the Knights Templar. The person to finally take action against the Templars was King Phillip the 4th of France. Since the Templars were under the protection of the church, King Phillip needed papal permission to overthrow them. In order to get this blessing Phillip covertly murdered two popes in less than a year until a candidate of his choice was in power. With all the necessary steps taken King Phillip made his move.

On the morning of Friday, April 13, 1307 there was a surprise raid on all of the Templar offices. The knights were being arrested on over a hundred different counts of heresy and treason . . . and confessed after being brutally tortured. After a short, rigged trial the Templars were sentenced to burn at the stake. The Grand Master of the Knights Templar cursed the king and pope before he was executed, and, synchronistically, both died within the year.

It is said that a fleet of Templar warships managed to escape France the night before the raids, and continued to control world events from behind the scenes. They apparently did this by changing their names and moving to various different parts of the known world. In fact, it is said by many that the Templars who managed to escape the Inquisition fled to Switzerland where they reestablished their international banking cartel.

This theory makes sense considering that the country has been a safe haven for bankers and robber barons for centuries. There are over 500 major banking institutions in Switzerland; the majority of them are owned and controlled by various elite bloodlines and covert organizations that I’ll describe in detail later on. It is estimated that 35% of all the private wealth globally is held in Switzerland. The World Trade Organization (WTO) is also based in Switzerland. These banks are among some of the only financial institutions in Europe who aren’t subject to audits and investigations from the new European Union government.

The financial district in London called “The City”, as well as the Vatican in Italy is also given the same kind of protection and secrecy, but they are the only areas in Europe that have those kinds of privileges. It is also rather interesting that the Swiss Guard is responsible for guarding the pope (located in Italy, not Switzerland), a task that was once the job of the Knights Templar.

The flag of Switzerland is actually an inversion of the Templar’s shield, the flag being red with a white cross and the shield being white with a red cross. The banking elite may have ties to the areas government and economy, but they have nothing to do with the people of Switzerland. They do not represent them, and their actions should not be held against the people of this country. In fact, Switzerland is one of the best places on earth to live, with very free social policies. They have a low crime rate, because everyone in the country is armed and drugs are legal. They also remain neutral in all major wars, but, still, when there is smoke there is usually fire.

Although I wouldn’t mind living in Switzerland myself, and imagine it is filled with wonderful people, there are just too many clues pointing to this region as playing a vital role in the many worldwide banking schemes. With this being a very realistic possibility, Templar influence would seem to put the puzzle together nicely, but it’s not something that we have been able to prove yet. Switzerland is just one of the many places where the Elite have established a stronghold to operate from; the same goes with “The City” in London, the Vatican, Washington DC and Zionist Israel. The people that live in these places have nothing to do with the Elite’s plans, aside from being used as workhorses, cannon fodder and political pawns.

Since the days of their fall from grace, the Templar Knights and their predecessors have learned their lesson, and have continued their work in secret. Even if the official order went underground, their business model and diplomatic strategies are still very much alive today and have a deep impact on our way of life. The Templars became an all-powerful “invisible government” by mastering and manipulating economics much like the bankers that influence world events today. In fact, today’s multinational bankers follow the Templars' model precisely and use all of the same age-old tactics to exploit the masses.

New study: nicotine dramatically improves and normalizes failing memory in elders Learn more: http://www.naturalnews.com/034608_nicotine_brain_functi

(NaturalNews) Tobacco is some kind of "devil weed," only good for making chemical-laden products like cigarettes, known to promote cancer. At least, that's the current take on this plant. But that's certainly not the whole truth about tobacco, which has been used historically by many cultures both in religious rituals and also as a natural therapy for various ailments from colds to tuberculosis.

In modern times, science has documented health benefits in tobacco's compounds. For example, a study performed at Stanford concluded that nicotine can boost the growth of new blood vessels and might lead to novel treatments for poor circulation in diabetics. In addition, Duke University scientists found that nicotine patches could help depression.

So why aren't these benefits derived from tobacco widely known? The reason, as Mike Adams covered in a previous NaturalNews report (http://www.naturalnews.com/032795_tobacco_warning_labels.html) is simple: the FDA and mainstream medical doctors continue to equate the dangers of smoking chemically-laced "processed" cigarettes with anything that has to do with natural tobacco and the potentially health-building compounds it contains.

However, a new study just published in Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology, may hopefully change that attitude because it shows nicotine from tobacco seems to do what countless, expensive Big Pharma pills have failed at -- it improves mild memory loss in older
adults.

Dramatic improvements in memory

According to the new research, previous short-term studies have already shown that nicotine helps improve memory and attention span in people with Alzheimer's disease. This shouldn't be a huge surprise because nicotine stimulates receptors in the brain that are important for thinking and memory skills and people suffering from Alzheimer's disease are known to lose some of these receptors.

The new study investigated whether nicotine could help people with mild cognitive impairment -- the stage before dementia when people have mild memory or thinking problems but are not disabled. The Vanderbilt University School of Medicine study involved 74 research subjects with an average age of 76 who had mild cognitive impairment and who didn't smoke. Half of the group received a 15 mg. nicotine patch daily for six months while the other half of the study participants received a placebo. At the start of the study, the research subjects were given tests of their memory and thinking ability and these tests were repeated again at three and six months after they were placed on either the nicotine or dummy patch.

At the end of six months, the results were dramatic. Although the placebo group's mental abilities had decreased by 26 percent over this time period, the nicotine-treated group had regained a remarkable 46 percent of normal performance for age on long-term memory.

There were no serious side effects observed the people receiving the nicotine patch, either. Vanderbilt's Paul Newhouse, MD, head author of the study, pointed out in a media statement that the research provides strong justification for further investigation into the use of nicotine for people with early signs of memory loss.

File sharing is now an official religion in Sweden

By:

For many people, file sharing is a way of life. At any given time, they will be seeding handfuls of torrents, downloading several more, and searching The Pirate Bay for something new. The practice provides a cathartic experience that you could even say gives meaning to their lives. So why not take the next step and turn it into a religion? That’s exactly what one man tried to do. The crazy part? He succeeded.

Yes, file sharing has been officially recognized as a religion by the Swedish government. The Church of Kopimism is the fruit of philosophy student Isak Gerson’s efforts. After two unsuccessful attempts to convince authorities to recognize the religion (its methods of praying or meditiaton were deemed too informal), Kopimism was finally granted religious status.

What does Kopimism hold as beliefs? You don’t think that it could have been officially recognized without its own set of creeds, do you? Among others, it holds the following axioms (paraphrased from an English translation):

copying of information is ethically right

spreading information is ethically right

copying or remixing information from another person is an act of respect and an expression of faith

Kopimism even has priests. A file sharing priest is called an Opar. An Opar’s duty is threefold: to live according to Kopimistic values, to help others live according to Kopimistic values, and to actively shape his environment to be more Kopimistic.

Most religions have a formal set of symbols, and Kopimism is no exception. It appropriately uses Control-C and Control-V (keyboard shortcuts for copy and paste) as sacred symbols. The church’s website does denote that any symbol can be reproduced as a Kopimist symbol, so perhaps Mac users will prefer to hold Command-C and Command-V as sacred symbols.

It’s easy to get a chuckle out of file sharing being recognized as a religion, but why not? If someone finds joy, purpose, and a sense of oneness with the universe by visiting The Pirate Bay, then how is that less important or less “right” than someone who has the same experience in a religion that society has deemed acceptable? Of course they’re breaking the law and taking copyrighted content for free, but they’d be doing that anyway. If you’re going to be doing something regardless, I say it’s better to celebrate it than to feel ashamed about it.

One thing that Kopimists won’t likely get, however, is immunity from prosecution based on religious grounds. Rastafarians, whose religion is much older and larger than Kopimism, are routinely rejected by courts when they attempt to defend their marijuana use on religious grounds. While file sharing isn’t prosecuted as often as cannabis use is, the results of such a legal defense — in Sweden or elsewhere — aren’t likely to be different.

Pepsi Co. Admits Mouse Body Would Disintigrate from Mountain Dew

Mike Barrett
Activist Post

There has been some rather shocking news lately concerning the multinational mega corporation Pepsi Co. and their highly popular beverage Mountain Dew.

After reportedly finding a mouse in a Mountain Dew can in 2009, Ronald Ball from Illinois is in the process of suing the soft drink giant after finding a dead mouse in his soda can.

Needless to say, Pepsi Co. is completely refuting his claims, saying that the mouse he found could not have been there as the drink is so acidic the mouse would have disintegrated before he opened it. The company says that the mouse carcass would have decomposed into a “jelly-like” substance.

Although Pepsi Co. is in opposition with Ron Ball's claims, a mouse body disintegrating in a can of soda isn’t any better than finding a dead mouse inside.

It is interesting to see that Pepsi Co. has no problem admitting to such an outrageous effect that could have been caused by their beverage. This information certainly says a lot about the products manufactured by the company.


Here is a segment from a copy of Pepsi’s opposition to Ron Ball’s motion obtained by CBC News:
As Dr. McGill explains, if a mouse is submerged in a fluid with the acidity of Mountain Dew, after 4 to 7 days in the fluid the mouse will have no calcium in its bones and bony structures, the mouse’s abdominal structure will rupture, and its cranial cavity (head) is also likely to rupture… By 30 days of exposure to the fluid, all of the mouse’s structures will disintegrate to the point where the structures (excepting possibly a portion of the tail) will not be recognizable and, therefore, the animal itself will not be recognizable. Instead, after 30 days in the fluid, the mouse will have been transformed into a ‘jelly-like’ substance.
Hopefully people will not lose sight of the real news here. We have a mega corporation producing a liquid ingested by millions of people – liquid that is capable of disintegrating the body of a mouse.

It is well known that soda is completely unhealthy and causes obesity diabetes, and all types of other health problems thanks to chemical additives and high sugar content, but this shocking information could very well be the tipping point for many soda-drinkers.

Edible Mushrooms: Nature's Most Researched Anti-Cancer Agent

Sayer Ji, Contributing Writer
Activist Post

Over the course of the past few years we have uncovered a remarkable body of research on the medicinal properties of mushrooms.

In fact, when it comes to natural cancer research, no other category has been the subject of more human clinical research than AHCC and Lentinan, both unique preparations of shiitake mushroom.

AHCC stands for active hexose correlated compound, and is classified as a functional food made from hybridized mycelia of shiitake (and sometimes other mushrooms) in rice bran. It contains both alpha- and beta-glucan polysaccharides, well-known modulators of host immunity. Lentinan, also from shiitake (Lentinula edodes), is exclusively beta-glucan. What is so unique about these compounds is that they are "host-mediated" anti-cancer agents, helping the cancer-afflicted body combat cancer by boosting immune function.

This is a radically different approach versus conventional chemotherapy, which poisons rapidly dividing cells, indiscriminately, killing both cancer and immune cells (among other healthy cell types).

How can edible mushrooms like shiitake protect us against cancer, perhaps the most widely feared disease that presently afflicts our species? Could the reason be that we co-evolved with fungi, and that the essential polysaccharides they contain were present in our diet for so long that the genetic/epigenetic infrastructure of our bodies now depends on them? Beta-glucan, after all, is found widely distributed in whole grains, nutritional yeast, as well as fungi. The friendly bacteria, in and outside of our gut, produce the beta-glucan fraction through the biotransformative processes of digestive fermentation and, in the case of food, culturing. Could it be that, failing to consume (or produce) adequate quantities, our body fails in its cancer immunosurveillance -- not unlike the well-established role that vitamin D deficiency has in maintaining proper immune function, and therefore reducing cancer risk.


But perhaps there is an even deeper reason to why fungi keep us alive and well, even when faced with the most terrible of health challenges: we share a common, unique evolutionary origin, and our fates may still be intimately interwoven.

The microbiologist Mitchell Sogin was interviewed back in 2004 on the topic:
'Animals and sponges share a common evolutionary history from fungi...
...we thought fungi were related to plants or somehow were just colorless plants. Plants had seeds, fungi had spores, and so on. Scientists used to publish fungi articles in plant journals. But the work does not support that. We've shown that fungi and plants are very different from each other, and fungi are actually more closely related to animals.'
When asked the question: "Does all this mean humans are just highly evolved mushrooms?" Sogrin answered:
I'd say we share a common, unique evolutionary history with fungi. There was a single ancestral group of organisms, and some split off to become fungi and some split off to become animals.'
Could medicinal/edible mushrooms "lend us their power"? In certain traditions of herbalism, there is an acknowledgment of the sacred bond between patient and herb, where the plant lends its power to (s)he who is suffering, as a "plant ally." Beyond nutritional and caloric content, biochemical make-up, pharmacology, etc., certain fungi may embody the biological equivalent of compassion, and exude an abundance or superfluity of life energy that we may harness to correct imbalances within ourselves.

First, we must be willing to acknowledge that power in a source outside of ourselves, which is difficult for egocentric, anthropocentric humans to do. Second, we must consider ourselves worthy of the miracle of being healed, of life regenerating itself through us.

To learn more about the sacred bond between fungi and humanity, as well as how "mushrooms may save the world," please watch Paul Stamet's amazing video on the topic below...

The Power of Raw Cannabis

This is a must-watch video featuring some of the top researchers on the healing effects of Cannabis (Marijuana) in it's raw form, eaten or juiced.

Eating raw cannabis as medicine, dietary essential: new research. Cannabis is a dietary essential that helps all cell types function more effectively. Is a medicine: anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, probably has some direct activity against cancerous cells.

This plant can do phenomenal things, but not if [you aren't taking a high enough dose]. Cannabis is the most important vegetable in the world.
