Sharing Works: 100,000 concert recordings for free

Posted on March 27, 2012 by brewster

We just hit a milestone: 100,000 free concert recordings from over 5,200 bands!

A fun trip through the history:

The Grateful Dead started a tradition in the 60′s to allow taping of their concerts and sharing those tapes as long as no one made any money. Key: no one made any money.

A generation of deadheads became fantastic archivists. The songs were annotated, the loss in quality through copying was minimized. New tapers were brought into the fold.

Other bands, and their fans, started to join in: taping became one of the ways to participate in a community around a band’s music.

When music went digital, they wanted to put an end to generational loss through copying by passing on uncompressed files. They even developed a way to compress these files losslessly saving file size without losing quality: shn then flac formats, I believe, were developed by the tapers.

The Internet made digital music trading possible, but the files were big. The ETree community started a database of shows to help facilitate accurate transfer. John Gilmore and John Perry Barlow translated the Dead’s taper permission to the Internet generation.

The Internet Archive offered to the ETree community to provide “unlimited storage, unlimited bandwidth, forever, for free” in an email in 2002. The reply came back: “We don’t believe you. But if you could, that would be our dream.” We decided to give it a try. But posting concerts on a website was different from tape trading so we decided to ask for some sort of permission from the taper friendly bands. ETree volunteers started to ask for email confirmation and these were then put in each band’s collection page.

About 1-3 bands sign up and 30 concerts are uploaded every day ever since! Volunteer administrator Tyler Huff has been keeping a milestone post going.

These concerts have been downloaded or listened to almost 800,000,000 times. The Grateful Dead collection alone is over 65,000,000 for the over 8,000 concert recordings on the site.

The total data space for the live music archive is now 112,000,000,000,000 Bytes (112TB), and the Grateful Dead collection is 12TBytes.

This is working for the Internet Archive because our mission is to make the cultural works of humankind available to all. It is also showing that we can share and be happy about it.

Thank you to all the 5,200 bands that have participated. Thank you to the over 5,800 people that have uploaded shows. Thank you to the fabulous admins Tyler Huff, JohnD, Dave Mallick, Diana Hamilton, Peter Hedeman, Brad LeBlanc, Marc Pujol, Tom Horton, and Tom Anderson. Thank you to the Grateful Dead and those that created and supported this tradition such as John Gilmore, John Perry Barlow, Geoff Sears, and Matt Vernon. Thank you to the Archive staff such as Jon Aizen, Parker Thompson, Tracey Jaquith, Alexis Rossi, and Jeff Kaplan.

Support Live Music! Please go out to see a band or join one.

The LSD Cure

stefaniesara

According to a recent study by Krebs (a neuroscientist) and Johansen (a clinical psychologist), LSD may help treat alcoholism. This study was the first-ever quantitative and clinical meta-analysis of the efficacy of LSD in treating alcoholism. Krebs and Johansen performed thousands of random, double-blind trials comparing LSD to a placebo. Of those who were given LSD, 59% attested to lower levels of alcohol consumption compared to 38% of those who were given a placebo. Krebs explains that these results have been consistent, and that the positive lifestyle-changing effects of LSD lasted up to six months for some patients.



How a single dose of LSD can have such a profound effect remains somewhat of a mystery. LSD has a similar structure to serotonin, a neurotransmitter responsible for feelings of pleasure. However, LSD triggers quite different responses to the serotonin-receptor site and also acts at several other receptor sites.



Perhaps we have to zoom out from the microscopic level of neurotransmitters and synapses to understand how hallucinogens can have such a powerful effect on human behavior. Carhart-Harris, a psychopharmacologist at Imperial College London states that psychedelics work at both biological and psychological levels—as if the two, mind and body, can even be conceived of as separate! He suggests that psychedelics help addiction by making the brain function more chaotically for a period, “like shaking up a snow globe, weakening reinforced brain connections and dynamics.” Whether taken with a therapeutic intention or not, psychedelics surely have this power to shake things up, to project before one’s own eyes (and third-eye) in typically dramatic visions, those un-integrated shadow aspects of one’s own psyche which need attention. Their ability to show us how certain habits of thought and deed are affecting us on multiple levels, reveal that psychedelic therapy may really help addiction.

the Free Universal Construction Kit

by fffffat

Ever wanted to connect your Legos and Tinkertoys together? Now you can — and much more. Announcing the Free Universal Construction Kit: a set of adapters for complete interoperability between 10 popular construction toys.

Consider the frustrating experience of purchasing a new computer (a Mac, say) and discovering that it will not play your aunt’s Windows Media video of your little cousins. Likewise, imagine your aunt’s corresponding annoyance when she finds that her PC will not play the Apple Quicktime video you sent her of your cats. This humiliating little episode isn’t an accident; it’s just a skirmish in a never-ending battle between giant commercial entities, played out, thousands of times every day, in exactly such micro-punishments to customers like you. If you’re well-informed, you may happen to know about VLC — a free, open-source video player, developed by independent hackers as a grassroots remedy for exactly this problem. Until the advent of ubiquitous 3D printing, software remedies like VLC weren’t readily available for hardware products, like toys. That’s changing.

Today’s manufacturers have little or no intrinsic motivation to make their products compatible with anyone else’s. Indeed—despite obvious benefits to users everywhere—the implementation of cross-brand interoperability can be nearly impossible, given the tangled restrictions of patents, design rights, and trademarks involved in doing so. So we stepped up. The Free Universal Construction Kit is the VLC of children’s playsets.

Overview

F.A.T. Lab and Sy-Lab are pleased to present the Free Universal Construction Kit: a matrix of nearly 80 adapter bricks that enable complete interoperability between ten* popular children’s construction toys. By allowing any piece to join to any other, the Kit encourages totally new forms of intercourse between otherwise closed systems—enabling radically hybrid constructive play, the creation of previously impossible designs, and ultimately, more creative opportunities for kids. As with other grassroots interoperability remedies, the Free Universal Construction Kit implements proprietary protocols in order to provide a public service unmet—or unmeetable—by corporate interests.

The Free Universal Construction Kit offers adapters between Lego, Duplo, Fischertechnik, Gears! Gears! Gears!, K’Nex, Krinkles (Bristle Blocks), Lincoln Logs, Tinkertoys, Zome, and Zoob. Our adapters can be downloaded from Thingiverse.com and other sharing sites as a set of 3D models in .STL format, suitable for reproduction by personal manufacturing devices like the Makerbot (an inexpensive, open-source 3D printer).

ORANGES AND SUNSHINE Trailer - in UK cinemas 1st April 2011

Uploaded by PREMIERPRONLINE on 1 Mar 2011

The story of Margaret Humphreys, a social worker from Nottingham who uncovered one of the most significant social scandals of recent times: the deportation of
thousands of children from the United Kingdom to Australia.

Almost single-handedly, against overwhelming odds and with little regard for her own well-being, Margaret reunited thousands of families, brought authorities to account and drew worldwide attention to an extraordinary miscarriage of justice. Children as young as four had been told that their parents were dead, and been sent to children's homes on the other side of the world. Many were subjected to appalling abuse. They were promised oranges and sunshine: they got hard labour and life in institutions.

Oranges and Sunshine is based on the novel Empty Cradles by Margaret Humphreys.

Gravitics. Release Free Energy Secrets.

EXTRACT - My early childhood was defined by My father's excitement for His work in electrogravitics, then (1950's) being worked on openly by all major aerospace companies. My father, a CalTech graduate and one of the top electrical engineers at one of these companies, would tell Me about the successes of His experiements (gravity control and overunity (free energy)), and tell Me what the world I would grow up in would look like.

Cars would fly, cities would float, and We would have all the energy We could use.

Then, one night He came home from work late and woke Me up to tell Me We couldn't talk about the flying cars, the floating cities, the free energy anymore. "They want it secret for now."

Sent in by Zheng Yong.

Comment from Agent6a

Eric Laithwaite got in trouble with the Royal Institution for looking into these things http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Laithwaite

EXTRACT - He was involved in creating a self-stable magnetic levitation system called Magnetic river which appeared in the film The Spy Who Loved Me where it levitated and propelled a tray along a table to decapitate a seated dummy.

In the 1980s, he was involved in creating a device to extract energy from sea waves (see patent GB2062114); although the technology was successful in trials, it could not be made storm proof, hence it never became a commercial success.

Laithwaite was an able communicator who made many television appearances. Memorable among these were his Royal Institution Christmas Lectures to young people in 1966 and 1974. The latter of these made much of the surprising phenomena of gyroscopes.

In 1974, Laithwaite was invited by the Royal Institution to give a talk on a subject of his own choosing. He decided to lecture about gyroscopes, a subject in which he had only recently become interested. His interest had been aroused by an amateur inventor named Alex Jones, who contacted Laithwaite about a reactionless propulsion drive he (Jones) had invented. After seeing a demonstration of Jones's small prototype (a small wagon with a swinging pendulum which advanced intermittently along a table top), Laithwaite became convinced that "he had seen something impossible".

In his lecture before the Royal Institution he claimed that gyroscopes weigh less when spinning and, to demonstrate this, he showed that he could lift a spinning gyroscope mounted on the end of a rod easily with one hand but could not do so when the gyroscope was not spinning. At this time, Laithwaite suggested that Newton's laws of motion could not account for the behaviour of gyroscopes and that they could be used as a means of reactionless propulsion. The members of the Royal Institution rejected his ideas and his lecture was not published. (This was the first and only time an invited lecture to the Royal Institution has not been published.)

They were subsequently published independently as 'Engineer Through The Looking-Glass'

Joseph Kony & other Phony Jokes

....UPDATE - latest phony joke "you couldn't make this shit up department -

“Kony 2012” Director Arrested For Public Masturbation - Jason Russell, star and co-creator of viral phenomenon Kony 2012, was arrested in San Diego for public masturbation and vandalizing cars. NBC San Diego is reporting Russell was detained last night, with police describing his behavior as “very strange.”...

Why the Kony Video Could be a Hoax (But It's Not) ... The astounding success of Invisible Children's Kony 2012 video has all the earmarks of a huge hoax, most likely perpetrated by Banksy, the artist who produced Exit Through the Gift Shop. That, at least, was Rob Frankel's response to me, via email, when I asked about this particular video that is making internet history. Kony 2012, of course, is not a hoax, although Frankel makes his "what if" case well (among his arguments the viral velocity is too fast to be real and, in the how-weird-is-that category, Joseph Kony is an anagram for Phony Jokes.) – Erika Morphy, Forbes

Dominant Social Theme: This guy, Kony, the one who eats the hearts of children – get 'im! And when he's gotten, send in NATO to make sure these abuses do not continue.

Free-Market Analysis: Gee, it's getting harder and harder to be the Internet's leading analyst of elite dominant social themes. Take Kony 2012. (Please, TAKE it!)

We saw an article about the Kony 2012 "viral video" probably on Wednesday, the day it was posted. We were shocked and angered at the obviousness of the meme. But BEFORE we could write a word, everybody else had started to!

We've never seen anything like it. It bears out our contention regarding what we call the Internet Reformation – and how it is reaching a kind of critical mass.

The entire alternative media, for all its internecine quarrels, seems perched on a knife-edge now – watching carefully to see what new false-flag the "non-existent" power elite has up its sleeve. And as soon as it senses, aggregately ... even a whiff of a new ploy or gambit ... boy, does it pounce!

This must be debilitating to the powers-that-be. They haven't had this much pushback since the Gutenberg Press began threatening the Catholic Church – apparently causing them to intervene putatively by funding Luther and Calvin.

KONY 2012: State Propaganda for a New Generation

By VC | March 13th, 2012 | Category: Vigilant Reports | 201 comments

The overnight viral sensation KONY 2012 brought worldwide awareness to the African war criminal Joseph Kony. Beneath this commendable cause, lies however an elaborate agenda that is presented in the video in a very manipulative way. We’ll look at the agenda behind KONY 2012 and how it uses reverse psychology to not only justify a military operation in Africa, but to actually have people demand it.

KONY 2012 is a viral sensation that swept the entire world in less than 24 hours. Its main subject is the African rebel leader Joseph Kony, his war crimes and the clearly defined “movement” to stop him. Countless celebrities have endorsed the movement, news sources have reported it and social media is buzzing with it. While the problem of guerrilla warfare and child soldiers has plagued Africa for decades, and several documentaries have already been produced regarding the issue, this particular 29-minute video made managed to obtain mass exposure and support.

KONY 2012 is less of a documentary than it is a highly efficient infomercial that is tailor-made for the Facebook generation, using state-of-the-art marketing techniques to make its point. Young people like “underground movements” and want to feel like they are changing the world. KONY 2012 taps into these needs to bring about something that is not “hip” or “underground” at all: A military operation in Uganda. Not only that, it urges the participants of the movement to order stuff, to wear bracelets that are associated with an online profile and to record their actions in social media. This makes KONY 2012 the first artificially created movement that is fully track-able, monitor-able and quantifiable by those who engendered it. In other words, what appears to be a movement “from the people” is actually a new way for the elite to advance its agenda.

A Propaganda Experiment

The video begins with an interesting statement: “The next 27 minutes are an experiment. But in order for it to work, you have to pay attention”. It is an experiment as it tests a new, groundbreaking way to get an agenda accepted by the Facebook generation. In the past, when the government needed to justify the invasion of a country, the President would sit in front of the camera and tell the public why war should be declared in this area of the world. In the case of KONY, the military agenda is disguised as grassroots activism, where the US army entering Uganda would be perceived as a “victory of the people”, effectively reversing the communications model.

KONY 2012 Psy-Op Collapsing

Invisible Children disables comments on viral propaganda video + meet the real Joseph Kony.

by Tony Cartalucci

March 14, 2012 – As the US State Department, USAID centric Invisible Children psy-op KONY 2012 collapses, Invisible Children has disabled comments on their viral YouTube video.

When last checked, negative comments were voted to the top and a cascading effect of skepticism as well as damning facts began drowning out the initial confusion, sympathy, and emotional knee-jerk support the propaganda video purposefully created and preyed upon.

Image: A screenshot of Invisible Children’s Kony 2012 video on YouTube. Comments have been disabled. (click image to enlarge)

….

As comments are now being censored – it is suggested that people simply go to the video and click the “dislike” button to voice their opposition to this stunt. Most likely, even that feature will be disabled, and the video KONY 2012 will become the one-way Wall Street infomercial it really is, rather than the faux-participatory “social media” “activism 2.0″ experience it masquerades as being.

The Establishment-Funded “Anti-Establishment” Charity

It has been revealed that indeed Invisible Children has been working with USAID, a US government agency that helps lay the groundwork for what could best be described as a modern-day imperial administrative network. It is now also revealed that Invisible Children attended the 2010 US State Department and Fortune 500 sponsored Alliance for Youth Movements (AYM) summit in London.

AYM (also called Movements.org) it was reported, played a central role in preparing armies of US State Department funded, trained, and equipped activists to carry out the so-called “Arab Spring” years in advance. Much like KONY 2012, the Arab Spring took many by surprise and in the wave of confusion, entire nations were upturned and US proxy regimes installed. Tunisia and Libya are now full fledged client states of Wall Street and London, while the fates of nations like Egypt and Syria still hang in the balance.

Unlike the “Arab Spring” however, the KONY 2012 scam has collapsed almost as fast as it first swept the globe. And as it falls, it is taking with it the credibility of all who participated in it and promoted it, including the deceitful International Criminal Court (ICC) and its chief prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo, as well as Hollywood and the corporate-media who did all in their power to lie, manipulate and make fools out of millions once more in the pursuit of perpetuating the imperial ambitions of Wall Street and London.

KONY 2012 is Casus Belli for Emptying Out Africa

It was reported in “Libyan Rebels Inspired by Globalization” that US-proxy rebel leader, Gibril (Jabril) Elwarfally before the Fortune 500-funded Brookings Institution, would claim Libya’s role in the future was to transition to a service economy, focus on education, and turn Libya into “a lake” to develop the skills of Africans to serve the needs of the European Union. If Africa is a treasure trove of resources, Libya will be the doorway through which the West loots it.

And as the West breaks down the door in North Africa, US Africa Command (AFRICOM) has been concurrently deploying military assets throughout Africa, from Nigeria, across Central and East Africa and southward toward Kenya and even as far as to menace the former British holding of Rhodesia, now known as Zimbabwe.

It has been reported already that in Uganda British firms have participated in land grabs violently displacing up to 30,000 people in single transactions in direct cooperation with Ugandan dictator-for-life Yoweri Museveni. In fact, it is troops under Museveni’s command, who helped displace these people, and who stand to receive additional weapons and funds from Invisible Children’s KONY 2012 campaign.

The Biggest Event of the 2012 Great Awakening

David Icke will be speaking to a crowd of upwards of 10,000 people this October. Don't miss this opportunity to be a part of the biggest awakening event of 2012. Get tickets here.

GET TICKETS HERE

Activist Post

Twenty years ago David Icke was told that he would go on a world stage to reveal hidden truths to humanity. At the time it seemed ludicrous to Icke that people would turn out to hear him speak about alternative history and the true nature of reality. After all, he was a normal chap working as a television presenter and mainline political operative.

With a profound spiritual awakening guiding him to forbidden knowledge, he faced years of ridicule because he spoke of a reality vastly different from what we've been taught by society. In those early years he would speak to small groups with little indication that the world was ready to hear what he had to say. Yet, his research allowed him to make predictions that seemed improbable but have proven out over time. As such, his resilience and reputation for uncovering the truth has won over huge crowds including some of his early detractors.

His understanding and explanation of who really runs the world, the "5 sense conspiracy" as he calls it, is second to none. He gets high praise from everyone who can easily confirm that he is indeed correct on the facts pertaining to this control structure. Still, many find his cutting edge material about the unseen forces behind the control structure too bizarre to comprehend. It's easy to call foul when hearing a passing comment about reptilian or interdimensional entities, or vibrational or holographic reality. Yet, Icke speaks for nearly 12 hours at his events precisely because there is so much evidence and backstory to digest for these foreign concepts to come into focus.

At the end of his presentations, few will question Icke's sanity or how he came to these seemingly outrageous conclusions. Most researchers would be content proving one or two complicated concepts over a lifetime. But each and every year David Icke adds a deeper and more interesting layer to this unseen reality which, again, if taken as single sound bites, seem thoroughly ridiculous.

For instance, his latest book The Lion Sleeps No More alleges that the Moon is artificial and purposely affects the vibrational (informational) field that we decode as reality. Given what we all learned in school about the Moon, this is crazy talk. However, upon examining the volumes of information referenced by Icke outlining the indisputable anomalies with the Moon, one would find much more logic in Icke's interpretation than any mainstream science theory. As with many of his other revelations, in time this will become just another mainstream lie that Icke gets credit for exposing.

Besides the knowledge gained from his all-day presentations where he connects all of these seemingly random dots into a compelling story, audiences are utterly fascinated and entertained for twelve full hours. Scarcely any other performer on earth, of any persuasion, can claim this same ability. And everyone who attends his shows will not soon forget the profound experience of the event. Even those who enter with closed minds walk away with an expanded awareness -- as David Icke is found of saying "You cannot unhear something" whether you want to believe it or not.

Now, Icke seeks to show the world the true level of the great awakening taking place by holding the biggest single event in history dedicated to expanding human awareness. This October 27th, 2012, he will be presenting his most groundbreaking material yet at the famed Wembley Arena in London. With seating capacity up to 10,000 people, it's expected to be nothing short of a rock concert atmosphere that will send a powerful message to the corrupt control system that their days are numbered because humanity is finally "Remembering Who They Are."

Be a part of this extraordinary event. To help organizers plan for the expected capacity, it is recommended to secure your seats to this event by July 31st, 2012. Get your tickets here. We hope to see you there.

The kony Scam, the Bigger Picture, It is about AFRICOM and more wars we cannot afford.

This "Stop Kony" campaign is now being rammed down the kid’s throats in the public schools. I have to undue the Kony lie from my children's minds sharing from my own personal experience. My kids are well meaning and impressionable. They can be naive and gullible because propagandist will exploit children's good intentions to advance an agenda. I just wonder was this campaign thought out in the White House so they can have an excuse to invade Uganda. They are using are kids to influence the parents to think we have to invade a sovereign country?

Many parents did not want the kids to see Obama on the big screen in the Public schools when he was addressing the kids. They see that Obama was trying to use the kids to get to the parents to sell his agenda. Many dictators in the past used the children for their purpose. Since Obama cannot use the school big screen anymore to get kids to sell the President's agenda to mom and dad using the children. Can this be a well-crafted public relations stunt to form a public outcry to invade Uganda to stop Kony? The truth will come out if it was a planned agenda coming out of the White House to justify invading an African country. The agenda to invade Uganda under AFRICOM was already planned way before Kony sob story gone viral all over YouTube.

It sounds very familiar when almost twenty years ago. President H.W. Bush invaded Somalia because the reason the warlords were stealing the relief food. They were using food as a weapon starving the children. When we left the country months later, it was because we messed that up imposing our will on them. It was a quagmire because we invaded a country that was not a national security risk. Seeing George H. W Bush's globalist leanings for his New World Order he always talked about. There was a different reason why we invaded Somalia. I do not trust humanitarian reasons to invade a country anymore. It has not worked in Libya and it is not going to work in Syria. We can see there is always an ulterior motive why we invade sovereign nations.

Where I was really deceived was in my teens watching MTV. In late 1984 and 1985, a campaign was started to stop the hunger in Ethiopia. Bob Geldoff of the Boomtown Rats releasing a song with Britain's famous musicians and celebrities Called Band Aid singing "Do they Know it is Christmas time" and the American version with Producer Quincy Jones and American entertainment celebrities singing "We are the World". Later that year in Philadelphia and London, a big even was planned as a major fundraiser. They had a big concert called "Live Aid". This really tugged at my heartstrings. I purchased both 45-RPM records thinking I was feeding Starving Africans children. When Live Aid came that following summer of 1985 with satellite up-link between the UK and the US broadcasted on MTV. I donated $25 thinking I was helping people.

When the truth came out years later, I was appalled. All that money raised was diverted away from were it was supposed to go. It went to feed the Ethiopian communist rebels instead. The money was not for the starving people. What a waste. I was suckered exploiting my good intentions thinking I was helping people; instead, I was funding the communist. When I was younger in elementary school who did not know any better. I would go out, stand in front of the supermarket, and ask people to donate to UNICEF. It was after the fact I leaned years later, these UNICEF funds were used to fund Communist takeovers in other countries. They use to send these UNICEF boxes home with my kids. I would not allow them to go out and raise money for the UN, if the money is going to be used to enslave people. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

The Kony campaign exploiting the good intentions of the young children could be a White House ploy to get the children to influence the parents and public opinion. Why are they using the public schools to sell this? Why are they not selling this to the adults like us? It is because we would see right through it. Kony is Uganda's problem. It is not an American problem. We have enough trouble here on American soil to be really outraged about. Kony is not the only war Lord to recruit children as soldiers. Africa is full of these War Lords using these children for their armies. They are pickling on Uganda, It is because the White House and the Pentagon already has plans to invade the African nations. They are just selling Kony as an excuse as they used Saddam's weapons of mass destruction that never existed and Iran's nuclear program they cannot prove exist as a reason to start a war.

Beware of the Kony fraud, this man with child soldiers is a Uganda problem and not our problem. We have enough Americans here in distress that needs our attention right here. Besides, we do not need any more enemies. When it seems like we are going to invade because of moral reasons because it pulls at our heartstrings. We only make things worse for them and us. Do you agree? to the young kids, Charity starts at home and in our communities. Beware of the Kony scam, Do not get burned.

I seen this type of scam they use to pull at our hearts before using different people and situations. As Americans we are decent people, we are generous when the world has a need. We always responded in mass We just have to know be aware not to be scammed one more time by a tear jerking story. Kony sounds like a scam from the get go.

Angelia Jolie openly works for the UN and CFR pushing globalist wars under the cover of humanitarian intervention.

Drunk on the blood of Iraq, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan and scores of other nations Jolie is now pushing military invasion to “help” Africa. She and her masters know full well that they are carrying out destabilization operations in the 3rd world so population can be reduced and resources stolen.

We need to call a spade a spade, this is part of a new branding rollout to launch a AFRICOM take over of Africa. This constitutes a crime against humanity and Jolie is a party to it and needs to be arrested along with other globalist that are using left cover to widen globalist empire.

The problem is you can’t go to the UN because it is at the center of the corporate global government takeover, the people are asleep and wars are being launched against innocents in the name of a bleeding heat liberal agenda. THEY COME IN PEACE!

Project CBD

Just about a year ago, when I began my career in drug policy activism, I came across an opportunity to work with Project CBD.

Conceived by Martin Lee and Fred Gardener; Project CBD is a non-profit educational service dedicated to promoting and publicizing research into the medical utility of cannabidiol (CBD).

Cannabidiol is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid compound that has been found to have enormous therapeutic potential to aid various conditions including: cancer, multiple sclerosis, PTSD, sleep disorders, anxiety, diabetes, epilepsy, alcoholism, neurological disorders and more. CBD has a synergistic relationship with THC. Cannabidiol enhances THC’s painkilling impact, while muting THC’s psychoactivity. Users may be able to use CBD-rich strains without feeling “stoned”. Not everyone enjoys the THC high. Strains that have a higher CBD ratio may be an appealing option for those who want the medicinal benefits of cannabis without the daze.

In the past, some strains naturally had a high CBD content, but the market and breeders favored higher THC ratios. Now CBD is making a reintroduction into the grassroots supply. Project CBD is focused on bringing the latest news related to cannabidiol and other components of the cannabis plant to our readers.

Project CBD believes that the reintroduction of CBD-rich cannabis into the grassroots supply warrants special focus. We work to make sure that developments in cannabinoid science are reported, so that doctors and patients can be kept updated on the most recent research available. We also publicize data regarding patterns of CBD efficacy and report on greater aspects of the cannabis movement.
While CBD is a non-psychoactive component of cannabis, we defend whole plant cannabis therapeutics. Project CBD refutes the slander that medicinal marijuana is “a front for stoners.”

While working with Project CBD, I have been able to meet and befriend medical cannabis users who get enormous relief of their symptoms from using CBD-rich strains. Clark French, a cannabis activist from the UK who works with CLEAR, uses cannabis to manage his multiple sclerosis. He believes that CBD-rich strains have given him the most pain relief. One afternoon he showed me just how much relief CBD gives him. He asked me to feel a muscle spasm in his upper back. Lightly pressing on the spot, I could clearly feel the tension in his back. Then he medicated with Harlequin (a CBD-rich strain) and in less than fifteen minutes he reported that the tension was gone. I confirmed this when I pressed the same spot afterwards.

In the beginning of my work with Project CBD, I knew relatively little about cannabidiol. Now I am better able to understand CBD and even able to feel the relief it gives others and myself. This has given me enormous hope for the future of conscious medicine. When I first focused my life goal to on changing society’s perspective on natural medicines, I was terrified. Everyday I work with Project CBD, my path becomes clearer and I am able to meet others who share my beliefs and experiences. Project CBD has become a huge part of my life and I want to share it with as many people as I possibly can. I encourage you to do the same, because you never know who CBD can help.

There are many people in this world who are suffering from conditions which cannabis, including CBD-rich medicine, can alleviate thereby giving them a better quality of life. I believe it is important to let them know that such a thing exists.

I have shared my experience, and we encourage others to share their experiences – positive and negative – with CBD-rich medicine.

The truth about Greece

by Míkis Theodorákis

Composer and resistance icon Mikis Theodorakis lambastes the joint strategy devised by Greek politicians and financial institutions with the objective of pillaging the country. He explains how Greece was gradually put under IMF tutelage by Dominique Strauss-Khan and former Prime Minister Papandreou. While the Western media point the finger at Syria, Russia and China, a financial government has taken over the reins of power in Greece and in Europe.

Mikis Theodorakis during a demonstration against the new structural adjustment measures, in front of Athens University.

There is an international conspiracy whose target is the complete destruction of my country. They began in 1975 aiming at Modern Greek civilization, continued with the distortion of our modern history and our national identity and they are now trying to eliminate us biologically as well through unemployment, hunger and impoverishment. If Greek people don’t rise as one in order to prevent them, the danger of Greece becoming extinct is evident. I place it within the next ten years. There will be nothing left of us but the memory of our civilization and our battles for freedom.

Until 2009, there was no serious economic problem. The major wounds of our economy were the enormous expenses related to the purchase of war material and the corruption of a part of the political and economic-journalistic sector. For both of these wounds, foreigners are jointly responsible. Germans, for instance, as well as French, English and Americans, earned billions of Euros from annual sales of war material, to the detriment of our national wealth. That continuous hemorrhage brought us to our knees and did not permit us to move forward, while at the same time it made foreign nations prosperous. The same was true of the problem of corruption. The German company Siemens, for instance, maintained a special department for buying off Greek stakeholders in order to place its products in the Greek market. Hence, the Greek people have been victims of that predatory duo of Greeks and Germans, growing richer at their expense.

It is obvious that these two big wounds could have been avoided if the leaders of the two pro-American parties in power hadn’t been eroded by corrupt elements who resorted to excessive loans in order to cover the leakage of wealth (the product of the Greek people’s labor) into the hands of foreign countries, resulting in the public debt reaching 300 billion Euros, i.e. 130% of GDI (Gross Domestic Income).

Due to that confidence trick, the foreigners I mentioned before made a double profit: firstly from the sales of the weapons and their products. Secondly, from the interest on the money they lent to the governments and not to the people. As we have seen, the people were the primary victims in both cases. A single example should convince you: the interests on the one billion dollar loan that Andreas Papandreou received in 1986 from a big European country reached 54 billion Euros and was eventually paid back in … 2010!

Mr Juncker declared a year ago that he had realized the Greeks’ financial hemorrhage caused by the excessive (and compulsory) expenses in buying war materials exclusively from Germany and France. And he concluded that our sellers were leading us on a path to destruction. However, he confesses that he didn’t take any action in order not to hurt the interests of friendly countries!

In 2008 came the big financial crisis in Europe. It was therefore only logical that the Greek economy should be affected. However, our living standards, high enough for Greece to be ranked among the 30 richest countries in the world, remained unaffected. There was an increase, though, in public debt. But public debt doesn’t necessarily lead to financial crisis. There are big countries, like the U.S. and Germany, with debts amounting to trillions of Euros. The key is in economic growth and production. In that case, one can borrow from large Banks with an interest rate of up to 5%, until the crisis ends.

That was exactly our position in 2009, when the government shift took place in November and G. Papandreou took over as prime minister. In order for the current opinion of the Greek to become clearer I cite two figures: in the elections of 2009 PASOK gained 44% of the votes. Today the polls give PASOK 6% of the public support.

Mr. Papandreou could have dealt with the financial crisis (which as I have said reflected the European one) by borrowing from foreign Banks under the usual interest rate of under 5%. If he had done that, there wouldn’t have been the slightest problem for our country. In fact, the opposite would have occurred; because we were on an economic growth path, our standard of living would certainly have risen.

However, Mr. Papandreou had already begun his conspiracy against the Greek people since the summer of 2009, when he secretly met with Strauss-Kahn, with the objective of driving Greece under the domination of the IMF. The information concerning this meeting was released by the former President of the IMF himself.

For the situation to reach that end, the country’s real financial status had to be distorted, so that foreign Banks would become nervous and raise the loan interest rates to prohibitive figures. That odious project began with the phony raising of the Public Deficit from 9,2% to 15%. For that felonious deed, the District Attorney, Mr. Peponis indicted Messrs Papandreou and Papakonstantinou (Minister of Finance) 20 days ago. What followed was the systematic campaign by Mr. Papandreou and the Ministry of Finance throughout Europe that lasted 5 months, during which they tried to persuade the foreigners that Greece was a Titanic about to sink, that Greeks were corrupt, lazy and therefore incapable of dealing with the country’s needs. After each of their declarations the interest rates increased, so that it became impossible for us to borrow any more, giving IMF and the European Bank the appearance of being our slavation, when in reality it was the beginning of our death.

In May 2010 a single Minister signed the notorious Memorandum, our complete subservience to our lenders. Greek law stipulates, in such situations, that the adoption of such an important agreement must be decided by three fifths of the Parliament. Therefore, in essence, the Memorandum and the Troika that essentially govern us today, operate illegally not only under Greek but also under European law.

By now since then, if the steps leading us to our death are twenty, we are already more than half way there. Imagine that with this Memorandum we concede to foreigners our National Independence and our National Property. That is, our harbours, airports, road networks, electricity, water supply, subterranean and underwater wealth, etc., etc. Add to that our historical monuments, like the Acropolis, Delphi, Olympia, Epidaurus and such sites, since we have waived all our legal defenses.

Production has come to a standstill, the unemployment rate has reached 18%, 80.000 shops have closed down, along with thousands of small businesses and hundreds of industries. In total, 432.000 enterprises have shut down. Tens of thousands of young scientists are abandoning the country, which is every day sinking into medieval darkness. Thousands formerly wealthy citizens are scavenging on rubbish heaps and sleeping on the pavement.

In the meantime, we are supposed to be surviving thanks to the magnanimity of our lenders, the Europe of the Banks and the IMF. In reality, every package deal which charges Greece with tens of billions of Euros is repaid in full, while we are burdened with new unbearable interest rates. And since it is necessary to maintain the State, the Hospitals and the Schools, the Troika is burdening the middle and lower economic strata of society with excessive taxes, leading directly to starvation. A famine took place at the beginning of the German occupation in 1941, with 300.000 people dead in a period of 6 months. Since then, the ghost of hunger is now returning to our defamed and unfortunate country.

If one considers that the German occupation cost us one million people dead and the total destruction of our country, how is it possible for us Greeks to accept Ms Merkel’s threats and the Germans’ intention to impose on us a new Gauleiter… This time wearing a tie…

And to prove just how rich a country is Greece and how hard working and conscious the Greek people (conscious of their Debt to Freedom and love of their country), I cite as an example the time of the German occupation from 1941 until October of 1944. When the SS and hunger killed one million citizens and the Wehrmacht was systematically destroying the country, and stealing all its agricultural production and the gold from the Banks, Greeks saved the people from hunger by creating the National Solidarity Movement and a partisan army of 100.000, which tied down 20 German divisions in our country.

At the same time not only did Greeks manage to survive thanks to their hard work, but there was also a large growth in Modern Greek art -especially in literature and music- under the terrible conditions of the occupation. Greece chose the path of self-sacrifice for the sake of freedom and simultaneously of survival.

That is when we were unnecessarily punished, and we responded with Solidarity and Resistance and we survived. Now we are doing exactly the same thing, with the certainty that the Greek people will be the ultimate victors. This is the message I am sending to Ms Merkel and Mr Schäuble, declaring that I remain always a friend to the German People and a fan of their great contribution to Science, Philosophy, Art, and especially Music! And the ultimate evidence of that is probably that I have entrusted the whole of my musical work to two German Publishers, Schott and Breitkopf, who are among the greatest publishers of music in the world and my co-operation with them is extremely friendly.

They are threatening to throw us out of Europe. If Europe doesn’t want Greece to be a part of it, Greece, for her part, is 10 times more unwilling to be a part of this Merkel- Sarkozy Europe.

Today, Sunday February 12, 2012, I am about to take part in the demonstrations, along with Manolis Glezos, the hero who, in the past, took the swastika down from the Acropolis, signaling the beginning of resistance against Hitler, not only in Greece but throughout Europe. Today, our streets and our squares will be flooded with hundreds of thousands of citizens who will demonstrate their rage against the government and against the Troika. I heard, yesterday, the banker-prime minister proclaiming to the Greek people that “we have reached point zero”. But who has led us to this ZERO point within two years? Those same people, who instead of having been imprisoned, blackmail the members of the parliament to sign the New Memorandum, which is even worse than the first one and which will be implemented by the same people following the same methodology which brought us to this point ZERO. Why? Because this is what the IMF and the Euro-Group dictates, blackmailing us that if we disobey, we will go bankrupt…This is a play of the theater of the absurd. All these parties who in fact hate us (foreigners and Greeks) and are the only ones responsible for the dramatic situation to which they have led our country, threaten and blackmail, aiming at continuing their devastating work, i.e. to lead us even beyond point ZERO, to our final elimination.

We have survived very difficult situations throughout the centuries and it is certain that if they lead us to the brink of death by force, Greeks will not only survive but they will be reborn.

At this point in time, I have devoted all my efforts to an attempt to dynamically unify the Greek people. I am trying to convince them that IMF and Troika is not a one-way street, that there is an alternative solution. And that solution is to radically change the course of our nation and turn towards Russia for economic co-operation and the setting up of joint ventures in order to exploit our natural wealth under beneficial terms that will safeguard our national interests.

As for Europe, I suggest we stop buying war material from Germany and France. And that we do everything in our power so that Germany pays back the war reparations they owe us and which currently amount to approximately–including the appropriate interest- 500 billion Euros.

The only force capable of effecting all these revolutionary changes is the Greek people, unified under a huge Front of Resistance and Solidarity in order to remove the Troika (the IMF and the European banks) from our country. At the same time all their illegal actions (loans, debts, interest, taxes, privatization of national wealth) should be considered as if they never took place. Naturally, their Greek partners, already condemned in our conscience as traitors, will have to be punished.

I am totally dedicated, body and soul, to this cause (the unification of the People in one Front) and I believe that I will be proved right in the end. I have fought, gun in hand, against Hitler’s occupation. I have experienced the Gestapo’s dungeons. I have been sentenced to death by Germans and have miraculously survived. In 1967 I founded PAF (The Patriotic Anti-dictatorial Front), the first resistance organization against the military junta. I fought underground, was caught and imprisoned in the junta’s “slaughterhouse”. Once again I survived.

I am today 87 years old and it is very possible that I will not live to see the salvation of my beloved country. But I will die with a clear conscience, because I will continue doing my Duty towards the ideals of Freedom and Justice until the end.

Athens, 12.2.2012 Mikis Theodorakis

Combating the Delphi Technique and Occupy Infiltration

Brandon Turbeville

Activist Post

When Occupy Wall Street first began, it was a force to be reckoned with. Facing the daunting task of challenging the system and coordinating action, the movement also had to contend with the pathetic corporate-controlled media which did its very best to turn a blind eye to what was happening on Wall Street.

Nevertheless, days turned to weeks before the mainstream media even mentioned the intense level of protests occurring all across the country and, even then, the coverage was sparse. However, they were eventually forced to acknowledge the level of discontent with the direction of the country that was being felt by a wide variety of Americans; most significantly, those who considered themselves liberals (real or otherwise). Finally, these individuals were no longer content to sit back and worship Obama while their own standards of living were being drastically reduced and the fabric of the country tragically coming undone.

As is to be expected, the police responded in their typical manner of brutality and thuggery. Yet the protestors refused to yield. As a result, Wall Street itself began to gradually pay more attention to the “little people” in the street. Soon, even smaller cities all across the country and in almost every state had their own group of anti-Wall Street, anti-authoritarian, Occupy protestors gathering around government buildings or banking institutions.

Yet, in what seems to be a repeat of what happened to the Tea Party movement, it was only a matter of weeks before Occupy Wall Street was being morphed into what amounted to a political action committee representing the Democratic Party, an obvious servant of the Wall Street finance oligarchs that Occupy had once so fervently opposed.

Obviously, not all Occupy groups have been completely co-opted by agents of Wall Street, political parties, or Foundation-funded operatives. To these groups, we must say congratulations and offer legitimate support where we can. Likewise for the Tea Party.

However, for the vast majority of both movements this is not the case. It is for this reason that we must identify some of the methods used when one is co-opting a legitimate movement, as well as some of the principal actors involved in the attempt to co-opt Occupy. This article will briefly focus on at least one of the methods of infiltrating and destroying legitimate Occupy Wall Street groups all across the country, particularly those in larger cities, but still reaching out to all the others.

At this point, it appears that Occupy is not being crippled so much by opposition from without, but by paralysis from within. It is well-known that the Occupy Wall Street movement has never been able to articulate or even agree on any set of tangible, political demands. After all, this is one of the issues that psychotic blowhards such as Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity were able to seize upon when attempting to categorize the participants as “dirty hippies” and spoiled children. A movement with no demands will increasingly lend itself to the appearance of being a temper tantrum more than true political resistance.

Yet the Occupy movement is not paralyzed due to a lack of willing participants or a lack of will to fight against oligarchy. It is paralyzed because it has been infiltrated by agents of the oligarchs in an effort to cripple the movement from ever getting back off the ground. This, in effect, is the purpose of the General Assemblies.

Obviously, any activist interested in promoting participation, accountability, and democracy would easily be tempted to accept a system that, at first glance, promotes all of these traits. The average protester might assume that, since everyone can participate in some way, the sessions are open, and everyone apparently gets their say, that this method of decision making suits their own purposes perfectly.The truth, however, is just the opposite. It is the General Assembly which is perhaps the most crippling aspect of Occupy today. It is the General Assembly which keeps Occupy protesters from articulating the tangible political demands which every movement needs.

It is the General Assembly which mires the movement in endless discussions regarding what committees to form and who should serve on them. It is the General Assembly which keeps Occupy protesters bogged down in long drawn-out discussions of what to have for dinner instead of actually protesting.

Not only is the General Assembly crippling Occupy with inaction, it is in reality creating an oligarchical system of domination within the movement, which itself becomes merely a microcosm of the system they are attempting to oppose.

The General Assembly itself is based upon the theory of group consensus, which is itself a model of decision making adhered to within many international organizations like the United Nations and Codex Alimentarius, which I have researched at length. Consensus-based decision making as a political system is rooted in Communitarianism and psychological warfare. It is oligarchical in nature. Even when approached with the best of intentions, Consensus-based decision making tends toward the direction of oligarchy, particularly when large numbers of people are involved. In terms of real application, with any situation where time might be a factor, Consensus building equals paralysis.

As Webster Tarpley wrote in his article, “Occupy Wall Street: Who Wants To Hijack The Movement?”

The consensus method provides immense comfort to the predatory speculators of Wall Street, since it virtually guarantees that no potent and controversial strategy to break the power of finance capital can emerge. Indeed, it guarantees that absolutely nothing will be able to emerge in an emergency after a rapid turn in the overall situation. The US Congress is paralyzed by a minority, but the consensus rules of the general assembly mean that it can be paralyzed by a tiny clique bent on sabotage. In the background, the covert steering committee is busy creating a series of faits accomplis.

The deliberations of the general assembly are one big filibuster. On October 4, much of the session was taken up with an agonized discussion of whether to buy or knit and sew sleeping bags as the nights became colder. Right-wing commentators hostile to the protests had a field day using this grotesque scene to mock the entire movement.

Furthermore, the Consensus method is extremely susceptible to what is called the Delphi Technique. For an excellent summary of the Delphi Technique, please see Albert V. Burns’ article, “The Delphi Technique: Let’s Stop Being Manipulated.”

Essentially, the Delphi Technique, which was originally developed by RAND in the 1950s as a psychological weapon and infiltration mechanism, is also a proven method by which movements can be co-opted and redirected for ulterior purposes.

The Delphi Technique works by infiltrating the protest group with individuals who might appear more experienced or educated in the issues which the organization is trying to address. In relation to the Occupy Movement, one might be seen as having more credibility and respect if one can rely on his “previous experience” in resistance movements in foreign countries and/or domestic protests. As a result of such expertise, these individuals often rise to the top of the group hierarchy.

Interestingly enough, we have been receiving many reports of exactly this happening from the front lines of Occupy. Many of these “protest experts” are funded by Foundations and NGO’s, two types of institutions that any legitimate protest movement should stay far away from lest it become what it is protesting in the first place. Such a model can only lead to centralization, as was seen in Halifax, Nova Scotia, for example, when two protest organizers came to town with experience from Egypt's Tahrir Square ... and plans for a single media source to be established in order to "shape the message." (Source and video)The individuals who are successful at infiltrating the groups will then become the “facilitators” of the General Assembly meetings. It is the facilitator who is almost always in control of guiding the direction of the meetings as well as both the agenda and, as it logically follows, the outcome.

This is made a much easier task for him if he is accompanied by others who can become facilitators of each separate committee formed by the General Assembly which act as specialized “working groups” for their various delegated responsibilities.

In this structure, consensus is formed not by the free exchange of ideas, debate, and decision, but by constant haranguing and misrepresentation of any views expressed by committee members who might disagree with the preordained outcome dictated and managed in secret by the facilitator.

Much like the general society, individuals who express dissenting views are marginalized, harassed, and demeaned until the entire group is coerced to accept the agenda as it was originally presented by the facilitator.

The fact that the Delphi Technique has been successful up to this point, however, should not necessarily be discouraging. This is because most protesters are simply unaware of what is happening. The trend of infiltration and paralysis which is now dragging Occupy down can be reversed.

As Burns writes in his article, there are four steps one must take in order to combat the domination of one’s group by infiltrators. Because the majority of the group is not likely to wake up to what is happening all at the same time, this will likely be the responsibility of one solitary individual in the beginning. Again, I encourage you to read Burns’ article for a great rundown of the Delphi Technique and how to combat it.

Also, please read this two-page document on Delphi and how to combat it, compiled by Freedom Force International.

According to both of these documents, it is important to stay calm and focused and never allow yourself to become angry. Most of all, it is important to be persistent. Maintain charm, but always force the facilitator to answer the question, which should be aimed at exposing him/her, directly. The facilitator should not be allowed to dodge your question under any circumstances. It is also important to have as many of your own supporters as you can find to go with you as well. Splitting up into different committees and confronting the facilitators will go a long way to bringing the Delphi Technique to light and the infiltration to an end.

In the end, however, the General Assembly which has been rife with Delphi Technique infiltration, must be scrapped. It is the General Assembly approach which is robbing Occupy of the leaders it needs to guide the movement into effective political action and in setting forth tangible political demands.

Something based on the traditional Robert’s Rules of Order would no doubt be preferable to the Soviet-style paralysis and misdirection provided by the General Assembly. These rules are not perfect, but they are an enormous step above the General Assembly and consensus-based decision-making. They have, indeed, provided a structure for activist organizations for many years.

Ultimately, if it is oligarchy that Occupy seeks to resist, then it must first demonstrate that it can do so within its own movement. It is imperative that oligarchical change agents be extracted from Occupy, and that legitimate leaders emerge organically. Once the NGO’s and Foundation operatives are removed from the ranks of the protesters, then OWS can once again capture the attention of the oligarchs, Wall Street, and the nation.
