RIP Falardeau

Pierre Falardeau, 28 12 1946—25 09 2009
Distinguez bien la figure de style du fond de la pensée. Et le contenu par-delà le contenant.
Tout seul, je ne suis pas convaincu que j'aurais été capable d'aller jusqu'au bout. Monnonc' est fatigué! (en parlant du comité 15 février 1839.)
Dans ce pays fictif, le plus meilleur au monde, on peut bien nous empêcher de tourner les films qu'il faudrait tourner, mais on ne peut pas, pour l'instant du moins, nous empêcher de montrer les films qu'il faudrait montrer.
Dire qu'on est de gauche ne rend pas intelligent!
L'important n'est pas de bien ou mal parler mais de parler.
Étouffer le politique en faisant du social! Ça ne vous rappelle rien?
Ce n'est pas comique (Elvis Gratton); c'est un portrait de nous pas très reluisant! Il y a des petits jeunes qui, la première fois, avaient perçu le film au premier degré. Ils avaient ri des farces et des coups de pied au cul. Mais en vieillissant ou quand ils arrivent au cégep et que leurs profs leurs disent : Savez-vous ce que c'est, Elvis Gratton ? Avez-vous saisi de quoi ça parle? certains se réveillent.
On va toujours trop loin pour les gens qui vont nulle part.
Moi, Pierre Perrault, je trouve ça 1000 fois plus intéressant que 98% du cinéma américain. Mais on ne peut empêcher le monde de préférer Mac Do! Faut rêver plus haut que Las Vegas.
On est responsable de l'époque où on vit, de la situation où on est. J'ai toujours cru qu'un intellectuel doit intervenir dans la société.
Une oeuvre est à la fois politique, artistique, humaine et philosophique. Je fais des films pour que ça reste. Une fois qu'on sera indépendant, c'est un film qui peut servir au reste de l'humanité.
C'est nos histoires, pourquoi est-ce qu'on n'a pas le droit de se les raconter?
Si tu te couches, ils vont te piler dessus. Si tu restes debout et tu résistes, ils vont te haïr mais ils vont t'appeler 'monsieur'.
Jusqu'aux films de Perrault, je m'imaginais un ouvrier comme quelqu'un de très exotique, en vélo et une baguette de pain sous le bras. Avec lui, je me suis aperçu qu'il parlait de mon voisin, avec sa boîte à lunch et sa casquette de chasse.
Dès mes premiers documentaires, en 1971, j'ai voulu sortir du ton Radio-Canada pour parler au monde des tavernes, dire des choses intelligentes sans utiliser un ton universitaire.
Je trouve inacceptable que les artistes soient coupés de cette lutte (pour la libération nationale de son peuple). Du coup, je déteste de nombreux cinéastes ou artistes qui refusent de prendre position.
Aujourd'hui, contrairement à ce qu'on pense, les artistes ne sont pas à l'avant-garde, ils sont à l'arrière-garde. Ils reculent. Aujourd'hui la société québécoise est assise sur son cul et on a un cinéma assis sur son cul.
Des Elvis Gratton y en a mur à mur au Québec. Aussitôt qu'il y en a un qui meurt, y en a mille qui sont prêts à prendre sa place!
Au Ghana, les pauvres mangent du chien. Ici, c'est les chiens qui mangent du pauvre, et ils prennent leur air surpris quand on en met un dans une valise de char.
Quand un résistant tombe, dix autres se lèvent pour ramasser son arme.
Pour les lâches, la liberté est toujours extrémiste.
Au-delà des lettres de Chevalier de Lorimier, il y a son combat. Et nous devons apprendre les leçons de l'histoire pour ne pas répéter les mêmes erreurs.
Comme si la lutte de libération nationale n'était pas, en soi, un projet de société. Le bateau coule et des passagers veulent discuter de l'aménagement intérieur de la chaloupe. Ramons, câlice! On discutera ensuite de la couleur de la casquette du capitaine ou de la forme des rames. L'indépendance n'est pas le paradis. Ce n'est pas la solution à tous nos problèmes. Mais il s'agit de choisir enfin. Ou le statut de nation annexée à jamais ou la liberté.
Chaque film, chaque maison, chaque poème, chaque robe, chaque chanson que nous créons fait exister le Québec, un peu plus chaque jour. Nos chefs d'œuvres, comme nos cochonneries. Parce que ce sont nos cochonneries. Le Québec existe dans nos rêves. Par nos rêves. Et le jour où nous cesserons de rêver, le pays mourra.
Et quand j'entends hurler les hystériques de l'Ouest de Montréal qui se prennent pour des orangistes d'Irlande du Nord, je me dis qu'il est grand temps d'envisager l'envisageable.
Je me bats pour ma libération et l'indépendance de mon pays.
Un peuple esti, qui a demandé de voter pour la liberté, pis qui vote pour l'esclavage, je trouve ça effrayant!
La lutte pour la libération de notre pays n'est pas une lutte constitutionnelle. C'est une question de vie ou de mort. Ou rester à jamais une minorité de braillards et mourir à petit feu comme à Sault-Sainte-Marie ou devenir enfin un peuple libre et vivre debout. La lutte pour la liberté et l'indépendance n'appartient ni à un parti ni à une classe, mais à l'ensemble du peuple québécois. Chacun, quelle que soit sa langue, son origine ethnique ou la couleur de sa peau, est personnellement responsable. Responsable de tous. Il y a un prix à payer pour la victoire ou pour la défaite. Chacun devra rendre les comptes. Le choix est simple: Ou la liberté ou la mort!
Non mais écoutez, Jean Charest c'est comme Elvis Gratton en blond, c'est exactement pareil!
Non mais, un gars (Jean Charest) qui à 13 ans rêvait de devenir Premier ministre du Canada, faut qu'tu sois taré en quelque part! Non mais toi à 13 ans, tu rêvais de devenir police ou pompier ou de baisser les p'tites culottes d'la p'tite fille d'à côté de chez vous! Mais pas de devenir Premier ministre du Canada!
J'avais quinze ans. Chez mes parents, à Châteauguay, il y avait quatre ou cinq livres, pas plus. Dans le tas, Les Patriotes de David. Je découvrais un trésor.
Moi, ce que j'espère toujours, c'est qu'un jeune, quelque part dans un Cégep, voit mon film et que, dans les semaines qui suivent, il se mette à lire pour en savoir plus et qu'il avance.
Je suis certain que chaque cinéaste, intellectuel, écrivain, sait très bien de quoi ne pas parler s'il veut survivre.
Ça se peut bien que je sois devenu le bouffon de service. Mais dans la cour du roi, le fou, c'est encore le seul qui pouvait dire des vraies affaires.
Ou ben le peuple se lève pis on se donne un pays, ou ben on s'écrase pis on reste une minorité.
Nous ne nous battons pas pour faire inscrire deux mots, genre société distincte, sur un torchon de papier. Nous nous battons pour la liberté et l'indépendance de notre PAYS. Minorité.

RIP Nino...

Joe Dassin a eu un très touchant et esthétique hommage aux FrancoFolies.
2009 08 09

Les FrancoFolies de Montréal ont rendu un bel hommage à Nino Ferrer avec plusieurs artistes sur scène. Inimitable l'irréparable...
2009 07 31

Nino Agostino Arturo Maria Ferrari, chanteur, auteur, compositeur et peintre d'origine française et italienne, né le 15 août 1934 à Gênes (Italie). Mort le 13 août 1998 à Montcuq (Lot, France). Connu sous le nom de Nino Ferrer.
Nino Ferrer a passé les premières années de sa vie en Nouvelle-Calédonie où son père, ingénieur, travaillait. Nino étudie l'ethnologie et l'archéologie préhistorique à la Sorbonne. Il se livre avec passion à de nombreuses activités dont la peinture et la musique.
En juillet 1998, sa mère Mounette meurt, laissant un vide existentiel en Nino. Un mois après son décès, le 13 août 1998, l'artiste se tire une balle dans le cœur en plein champ de blé alors qu'il avait commencé à enregistrer avec les Leggs son dernier album, intitulé Suite et Fin. Il aurait eu 64 ans deux jours plus tard.
Écoutez sa musique. Il y a là l'art d'une sensibilité écorchée. Sa peinture est sublime.

Livre qui fait réfléchir

Jean-Sébastien Trudel. Arrêtons de pisser dans de l'eau embouteillée. 2007.
Pourquoi nos voitures brûlent-elles de l'essence quand elles ne roulent pas? Pourquoi chauffons-nous notre eau 24 heures par jour alors que nous ne nous servons d'eau chaude que durant quelques heures? Pourquoi nos imprimantes et nos photocopieuses n'impriment-elles que d'un côté de la feuille? Pourquoi réfrigérons-nous nos frigos en hiver? La voiture de l'an 2000 consomme autant d'essence que la première Ford produite en série… il y a plus d'un siècle. Sa conception est inefficace car 87 % de l'énergie dégagée par la combustion de l'essence ne sert pas à faire tourner les roues. Elle est perdue, principalement sous forme de chaleur. Moins de 1% de l'énergie sert à déplacer le conducteur. Dans un monde où le profit est au centre des préoccupations, ce gaspillage est anormal.
Les aliments, consommés en quelques minutes, sont emballés de plastique et de métaux qui prennent des centaines d'années à se dégrader. Parmi les matériaux les plus utilisés pour les emballages, il y a le polyéthylène. Les usages que nous lui avons découverts relèvent parfois du génie. Les sacs plastique méritent notre admiration. Minces, légers, compacts et résistants (un sac peut porter jusqu'à 2 000 fois son poids!), ils sont une merveille de la technologie. Ils sont également très durables (4 siècles), ce qui fait de leur usage unique une aberration.
Quand on tire la chasse d'eau, c'est de l'eau embouteillée qui part dans les égouts. Les réservoirs de toilettes contiennent 28 bouteilles d'eau de marque Dasani (distribuée par Coca-Cola). Cette eau n'est pas une eau de source; traitée par la ville de Brampton, en Ontario, cette eau coule dans les robinets ou quand nous tirons la chasse d'eau.
À Montréal, 5% de l'eau traitée est consommée. Les 95% restants servent à remplir le réservoir de toilettes, à arroser les pelouses et à laver le linge, la vaisselle et l'entrée de garage. 40% se perd en raison des fuites dans un réseau mal en point.
Le mauvais design est présent partout autour : dans les produits, les procédés de fabrication, notre façon de concevoir nos modèles d'affaires et d'organiser nos sociétés. Ces pratiques viennent d'une autre époque. Il est temps de se questionner.
La révolution industrielle
Aucun ingénieur, politicien ou gestionnaire n'a décidé de concevoir un moteur, un réfrigérateur, un pot de yogourt ou une société inefficaces. Les pères de la révolution industrielle étaient ambitieux. Ils rêvaient d'un monde meilleur, d'une société où chaque individu pourrait choisir librement la façon dont il occuperait son temps. À partir de l'invention du moteur à vapeur, au milieu du XVIIIe siècle, il y a eut une succession d'innovations technologiques qui ont repoussé les limites du monde connu.
Hubert Reeves, astrophysicien québécois mondialement reconnu, pose un diagnostic alarmant. Ce n'est pas la Terre qui va mal. La vie sur Terre est robuste. L'avenir de l'espèce humaine est en cause. «Le sort de l'aventure humaine, entamée il y a des millions d'années, va-t-il se jouer en l'espace de quelques décennies?»
Prenons conscience des limites de la révolution industrielle - dont face à l'environnement. Les acteurs de la révolution industrielle ne sont pas à blâmer pour notre situation. Il faut se mettre à leur place : au tournant du XIXe siècle, la population mondiale fluctuait autour de 800 millions d'individus (elle est aujourd'hui de 6,5 milliards), et les ressources naturelles paraissaient inépuisables.
Nous sommes arrivés au bout du chemin sur lequel nous nous sommes engagés avec la révolution industrielle. Le modèle de développement qu'elle a vu naître a servi l'humanité, en améliorant les conditions de vie, la sécurité alimentaire, l'espérance de vie. Mais en ce millénaire, ce modèle atteint ses limites. S'il persiste, c'est justement parce qu'il a connu tant de succès dans le passé. Ce succès est dépassé.
Le modèle de développement actuel est fondé sur la croissance illimitée. Le produit intérieur brut (PIB) doit toujours croître. C'est impossible, parce que cette croissance requiert la transformation de ressources limitées.
Très jeune, je m'amusais dans mon carré de sable à remplir des seaux, que j'allais vider un peu partout dans le jardin. Après un certain temps, il n'est plus resté de sable dans mon carré. Il était irrécupérable, dispersé dans des trous, sous des roches et autour d'arbres. Ç'a été la fin du carré de sable ; mon père l'a démonté. Nous faisons subir le même sort à nos ressources : elles deviennent irrécupérables, dissoutes ou dispersées dans des sites d'enfouissement, dans l'air et dans l'eau.
Ces problèmes ne peuvent être ignorés. Pour les humains, c'est une question de santé et de qualité de vie. Pour les entreprises, c'est une question d'image à court terme. Dans peu de temps, ce sera une question de survie. Pour les gestionnaires, c'est une question de responsabilité. Ceux qui en doutent n'ont qu'à regarder combien le droit de gérer des entreprises est remis en cause.
Les économistes de l'ancienne école, comme le prix Nobel Milton Friedman, soutiennent que ce n'est pas le rôle des entreprises de s'occuper de l'environnement et des conditions sociales. Si cette affirmation a été vraie, elle l'est moins maintenant. Une des phrases célèbres du gourou financier Warren Buffett révèle la réalité du marché : «Nous avons les moyens de perdre de l'argent - même beaucoup d'argent. Mais nous n'avons pas les moyens de perdre notre réputation, même une parcelle de réputation», répète-t-il régulièrement.
La première évolution industrielle
Le développement durable ne s'inscrit pas dans une approche contestataire. On ne verra pas les altermondialistes prendre en otage les CA et renverser par les armes les PDG de multinationales. On ne verra pas non plus le président de Greenpeace occuper la fonction de premier ministre du Québec à la suite d'une guerre civile.
Le développement durable est une évolution naturelle, nécessaire, du modèle capitaliste.
Il serait plus juste de parler de la prochaine révolution industrielle comme de la première évolution industrielle. Le changement ne se fera pas dans la rupture avec le modèle actuel, mais dans la continuité. Même les purs et durs du développement économique n'y échappent pas : la prochaine évolution industrielle est inévitable. Les sept facteurs suivants expliquent pourquoi. Certains montrent qu'elle est commencée : changements climatiques, fin du pétrole abordable, investisseurs responsables, consommateurs éthiques, responsabilité élargie des producteurs, rareté de ressources, population vieillissante.

Prophecy, prediction

2012 Special
In a special show on 2012 and Mayan prophecy, 3 guests shared perspectives. Author, editor Robert Gleason talked about his new novel, Apocalypse 2012, Mayan and Toltec cultures, and their ruler/deity, Quetzalcoatl. A combination of Alexander the Great, Pericles, and Jesus, Quetzalcoatl was a uniquely compassionate god to Mesoamerican civilizations that faced various cycles of extinction due to droughts and other factors. Mayans had sophisticated astronomical knowledge, and depicted the Milky Way galaxy as a spiraling disc. December 21, 2012 marks the end of several Mayan long count calendars, and the completion of a cycle. Gleason noted all civilizations have Genesis and End Times stories.
Author Daniel Pinchbeck discussed the Mayan concept that in 2012 we are aligning with the center of the galaxy, and this could be a time for evolutionary or psychic change in the world. During an ayahuasca experience in Brazil, he received a prophetic transmission from a voice that identified itself as Quetzalcoatl and spoke about the coming of the next frequency of consciousness. Reality is less fixed than people think. Pathways can be constructed as we shift into new types of awareness. Pinchbeck is featured in the upcoming documentary 2012 Time for Change, and active in the social network site, Evolver.
Medium Christian von Lahr rounded out the evening with his interpretation of Mayan prophecy. Mayans seeked divinity, and the 2012 alignment marks the halfway point on humankind's circular evolution. Humanity is finishing its uphill struggle-- we'll no longer be dense, physical entities, but energetically lighter beings.

Triangular UFOs & Swine Flu
Investigative reporter Linda Moulton Howe discussed Swine Flu, UFOs, honey bee losses, and increasing bat die-offs. The Swine Flu outbreak could herald a more virulent Fall 2009 pandemic, she detailed in an interview with influenza expert Paul Glezen, M.D. He noted the 1957 Asian flu pandemic, the 1968 Hong Kong flu pandemic, and the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic were preceded by a spring outbreak that became more harmful in the fall. The newest Swine Flu virus is a mutation that comes from 4 sources: American swine, Eurasian swine, North American human, and avian.
Witnesses described a football-field-sized triangular craft they saw while on a hunting trip in Idaho in 2000. The vehicle matched an image in the Special Ops Manual, a purported top secret document from 1954, dealing with the recovery of ET entities and technology, that Linda showed them.
Witness Kris Bales said he was under the huge craft which was about 100-200 ft. above him, silently sitting there. It had a central pulsing red light that was about 90 ft. in diameter. His brother, Marc, observed the craft with binoculars, and saw a small dome-like light on its top.

Prophecy Update
Father Andrew Wingate checked in about his prophecy that the US would sink one of its battleships. North Korea is testing Pres. Obama with its recent nuclear demonstrations. The country wants to sell its weapons to rogue states rather than stage an attack. He predicts there will be riots in America, and revolution in cities by the poor.

Waves of Change
Author & teacher Marshall Summers discussed how humanity has crossed a critical threshold and has to adapt to a new set of circumstances such as economic hardship, climate change, and scarcity of resources. Poorer nations bear the brunt of food/water shortages and political instability, yet the world has become interdependent and it's in everyone's interest to unite, and maintain stability.
We've come to the end of a cycle and are entering into a different kind of era, a new paradigm. In the old mindset, people live in the now and don't think in terms of the future. That has to change. If we do nothing, many parts of the planet will turn into desert, and things will increasingly spin out of control.
We must learn about the current dilemmas facing humanity, deeply evaluate our lives, and find strength and faith within ourselves. Those in isolated locations face particular difficulty, and to be an idle bystander is a corrupt position. Change can have a redemptive power for humanity, and thousands of solutions/contributions can be part of it.

The Antichrist & Prophecy
TV producer and theologian Patrick Heron discussed his work researching references to the Antichrist (AC) in the Bible, including how it relates to fallen angels, the US, and prophecy. AC is referred to in the Book of Revelation as the Beast who ascends from the Abyss, with 7 heads and 10 horns. This biblical language is metaphorical with the heads representing 7 kings or heads of state, and the horns, 10 super nation-states that eventually coalesce around AC. We are seeing preparations for this consolidation, with the rise of the NWO.
What to expect from AC:
He's a man who'll present himself as the Messiah, lying with signs & wonders.
He'll die, then be raised from death (counterfeit resurrection).
He'll broker a peace deal between Arab nations and Israel.
His sidekick, False Prophet, will make people bow down to the image of AC.
Heron's interpretation of prophecy in Revelation points to the US as an important location for AC, in particular, NYC. AC is named as the ancient god Apollo.

Predictions & Natural Magic
Witchcraft practitioner Dr. Evelyn Paglini shared predictions, and discussed using Natural Magic to change your luck and life. She has seen a rise in dark forces over the last two years, and had a series of visions about the next 1,000 days. These were accompanied by the song Stars and Stripes Forever and contained a sense of overwhelming pain and emotion.
Here is a rundown of what she sees coming:
3-4 million more homes will be foreclosed in the US.
Crime and suicide will escalate, there will be more massacres like the Virginia Tech. A group will use explosives.
Unemployment will continue to rise until the later part of 2010.
This is a buyer's market with opportunities for good deals, for those with the wherewithal.
The current swine flu is not the virus she previously predicted would be unleashed and kill hundreds of thousands.
The Earth is going through a mini-cleansing over the next 4-5 years. We'll see extreme weather. A storm with huge winds will come up from Florida wreaking massive destruction and flooding along the Eastern seaboard.
Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Wisconsin will have flooding and earthquakes.
California will have 2 earthquakes within a 1-year period that will be stronger than the Northridge quake.
A killer heat wave will hit this summer, and next year. Arson fires will plague California and other states.
Paglini shared methods of using Natural Magic, the harnessing of energy and forces, to achieve a desired goal. The ability to enter into a meditative or alpha state is crucial for conducting rituals. She spoke about the use of specific candles and essential oils for different purposes (her change your luck ritual).

Possibility of war between Israel and Iran
The showdown is coming to a head. Reading the Israeli press, it's clear that Israel is prepared for an attack. They have rehearsed a totally unpredictable war. Consequences in the US would be dramatic and adverse. -- Jerome Corsi.

Living Universe & Humanity's Future
Visionary author Duane Elgin discussed how the universe is alive and how this paradigm can help us work toward a sustainable future. The concept of a living universe is shared by spiritual traditions. There is scientific evidence for it. Attributes support the idea of an alive universe:
It is unified rather than fragmented.
Energy (Zero Point) flows through it.
It is a dynamic system, regenerated moment by moment.
It has sentience.
A vast intelligence created this universe and other universes. Cosmologically, there are infinite dimensions, and we are on the ground floor of evolution, with three or four dimensions.
Humanity is at a crossroads, a storm of catastrophic events will greet us in the 2020s. Climate change will lead to crop failure and famine, then create civic breakdown. We're running out of resources (water, oil).
"We are being pushed into a new future. It's very likely we will pull apart in conflict, rather than pull together in cooperation. That is the key choice that I see. We are profoundly divided as a human family. I am doing everything I can to say there is a higher, more promising future; let's pull together for that." --Duane Elgin

The Dire Future
Remote viewing teacher Maj. Ed Dames discussed cases of his Matrix Intelligence Agency, and issued dire warnings over future events. Here is a rundown of what he sees coming:
In five to six months a powerful quake in the 6.5 to 7 range will hit near Carson City, NV.
In that time frame, Israel will attack Iran, in an Armageddon-like situation.
The global economic collapse is just beginning and will be especially bad this summer. Gold will rise in price to $2000/ounce.
A Bird Flu epidemic will further damage the economy.
The North Koreans will use a nuclear weapon, and the Chinese will allow it. This will tax US military forces.
Within five years, the solar killshot will occur, with the sun emitting some very large solar flares. The first series of flares will take down electrical infrastructures. People need to be underground, and have fresh sources of water to survive.
ET races have been observing humankind. Another race similar to humans in appearance will help us rebuild after the catastrophes.

Messages from the Light
Mellen-Thomas Benedict, one of the most studied near-death experiencers, told of knowledge he's accrued from being on the other side. Since his 1982 NDE in which he was without vital signs for 90 min, and left his body, he's been able to access the light.
Some observations are:
We are all part of a Great Self-- the sum total of all of us and everything that has ever been.
Creation has just begun, and the future is so bright. We've already made it.
There is no plan, there never was. You were given the universe to do what you will. The only meaning to life is what you give it.
Some science fiction luminaries such as Jules Verne and Gene Roddenberry were more accurate in their visions of the future than any psychics or prophets.
In the not too distant future, we'll be able to replicate food and water. We'll no longer need big farms.
In the next 400 years, we'll star-seed planets.
2012 is not the end of the world but a cosmological signpost. We'll see more meteor showers and cosmic events around this time.
Reincarnation is more real and dynamic than people can imagine.
Benedict also talked about inventions he's brought back from the other side, including healing light technology. Light can have enzymatic effects and recharge the cells in your body.
"On my tombstone, I want it written: Leave a message, I'll be right back." --Mellon-Thomas Benedict

2012 & Natural Time
The man who introduced the date December 21, 2012 into mass consciousness, Jose Arguelles discussed how he uncovered Mayan codes, including the Harmonic Convergence (1987), and the need to return to natural time. He was joined by Stephanie South, whose biography of Arguelles is published.
Arguelles believes a solar flare will deliver a knock out punch to modern civilization in 2012. Satellites, the power grid, and communications will go down, creating an irrevocable event. The positive aspect of this is that we'll be placed back in natural time. The biosphere can clean itself of effects from the industrial/mechanized system.
Early Mayans had ET-type contacts from advanced beings, "telepathic transmissions through dimensions where the fractal properties of a particular form remain constant through dimensions, so they get reconstructed in the dimension where they're being targeted," he explained. Arguelles is an advocate for the 13 moon – 28 day calendar, which was one system Mayans used. Living in a natural cycle will bring about a harmonious shift in consciousness.
"We've deviated from nature because of following mechanistic time and an irregular calendar. We can return to sanity and wholeness by returning to living in the universal cosmic cycles of nature. We can reestablish a sane cosmic civilization based on cultivation of self-sustaining economies, non-polluting technologies." --Jose Arguelles

Earth Changes, Prophecy, Preparedness
Authors Stan Deyo and his wife Holly Drennan Deyo discussed earth changes, prophecy, social unrest, and what to do to prepare for the coming upheaval. The sun's protective bubble has shrinked. It makes Earth more susceptible to harmful cosmic rays. Dramatic weather events, with extremes in cold and heat, and more floods and drought are manifestations.
The Deyos recently visited an Indian tribe and discussed with the Hopi nation. According to prophecy, the sun will get so hot that grass will burn, and water will submerge many areas in the United States. A prelude to the earth changes will be a civil war between factions within the U.S., followed by Martial Law, and an overseas invasion leading to the fall of America.
Families have to put together a Disaster Plan with a meeting place outside of the home. Food delivery will be interrupted at stores. Intensive gardening, growing a lot of plants in a small, concentrated area is the solution. Have enough food, medicine and water to regroup.
"Live away from the coast, east of the Rockies, west of the Mississippi, and out of big cities. If you can be within 50 miles of a big city, that would be preferable." --Holly Deyo
C2C, 2009 02 19

Luciferian Codes
Researcher and filmmaker Ken Klein discussed hidden Luciferian codes and the positive and negative forces in the universe which he's deciphered primarily from the Book of Revelation. He has the ability to glean and interpret knowledge from the spiritual dimension. Lucifer was an anointed Cherubim angel, but after his involvement with the Ofanim, a type of creator angel, a war broke out among the angelic orders, and Lucifer was cast out to be the warden of Earth, a kind of prison planet.
Lucifer used the creator code of the Ofanim to create beings that weren't in God's intention-- like the dinosaurs. Lucifer, called Satan, dwells in our atmosphere, and people are puppets of his virus. He talked about Revelation's references to Beasts, Satanic systems begun 5,000 years ago to enslave mankind.
The economic, political, and religious world is infected with Satanic viruses, and we're now arriving at the end game, which is the Mark of the Beast. After the destruction of world fiat currencies, a global control system will be installed, where people will use a bar-coded identity to make purchases. This will curtail free will. The Antichrist will be a being in a specially engineered body, such as a clone.
"The first ghost sighting of Lincoln occurred during Calvin Coolidge's administration...between 1923 and 1929. His wife Grace Coolidge saw Lincoln standing in front of a window in the Oval Office. And then she saw him...in the Lincoln Bedroom...A lot of other interesting personalities have seen Lincoln-- Theodore Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower, they all claim they felt the presence of Lincoln. In fact, Winston Churchill refused to sleep in the Lincoln Bedroom because the first time he was there, he saw Lincoln's ghost and I guess it scared the heck out of him." --Researcher John DeSalvo
C2C, 2009 02 12

Prophecy, Nostradamus, Obama
Prophecy scholar John Hogue discussed predictions for 2009, the future of the economy, the Obama administration, al-Qaeda threats, and the works of Nostradamus. In looking at the economy, we have to redefine depression— what we're experiencing is "an ulcer from within"-- a value system based on speculation that doesn't work. Like Lincoln, Obama will be reeling from one crisis to the next, all the way into his fourth year in office.
Treasury Sec. Geithner may not remain in the cabinet, and treasury secretaries could come and go, until Obama finds the right fit. Obama & Clinton will team, drawing comparisons to past Pres. & Sec. of State combos such as Nixon and Kissinger. The most dangerous situations of 2009 relate to land partitions made in 1947-- India/Pakistan and Israel/Palestine. Israel could move into a confrontation with Iran this year.
This is the year al-Qaeda will try another attack on the US, as Obama is a big threat. The date of the attack will likely have a 9 or 11. For the Lost Books of Nostradamus, Hogue doubts Nostradamus was the creator. Nostradamus had crippling arthritis and it's likely his son, a talented artist, made the illustrations.
"Something that's going to be a major theme in the coming Aquarian Age-- the final frontier is not space. The final frontier is the inner spaces of human consciousness, the brain, the full capacities of what we can do. And so much of that is retarded and suppressed by dogmatic views, both in science and religion, that things are a certain way, and not questioned. And the Aquarian Age is going to be about questioning all of that." --John Hogue

2012 & Mysteries
Filmmaker and scholar Jay Weidner spoke about 2012, prophecy plus mysteries surrounding the Georgia Guidestones and the Denver Airport. Interrelated prophecies point toward around 2012, a time of crucial change, connected with our sun. The decreasing heliosphere of the sun leaves Earth with less buffering from dangerous elements from outer space such as cosmic rays.
2012 is an alchemical moment for humanity to decide who or what it wants to be. Foreseen is a possibility for the populace to live in semi-rural conditions in a slowed down fashion connected via the Internet. A negative outcome would see society turned into a techno-fascist nightmare with robocops and cameras on every corner. People need to figure out how to manage in a world of increasing scarcity.
The Denver Airport appears to be connected to COG (continuity of government) with underground facilities that withstand a nuclear war. A gigantic tunnel system under the airport, with trains running to parts of America. Denver could be slated to become the capitol of a North American Union.
"Something downstream is so amazing that everyone had to inscribe it into stone, into prophecy, into calendars, into the I Ching... The I Ching also ends in 2012. In 2012 we have the transit of Venus which only happens once every 114 years, and we have a total eclipse of the sun in the Northern Hemisphere. It's an amazing year... we're going to be in a lot of turmoil, and we're going to be really examining ourselves." --Jay Weidner

Science, pseudoscience

Underground Bases
Author Richard Sauder presented his long-standing research into underground bases all over the world. His focus of study is mainly the United States. China, Russia, England, Australia, Saudi Arabia, and Israel have facilities. Underground bases in North America include the Cheyenne Mountain facility associated with NORAD, Thunder Bay in Canada run by NATO, and a complex in suburban Maryland. The White House has 17 levels underground.
According to mining documents, it's feasible to sink a shaft 2 miles, then drive a tunnel out from the shaft. The US Naval facility at China Lake used such technology in building a submarine base. Area 51 and other military complexes house recovered alien craft in subterranean chambers. Underground facilities have huge cavernous spaces 600 ft. wide by 1100 ft. tall, but you'd never know they are there walking on the ground over them.
There could be a secret space program. He cited R & D reports done at Los Alamos on how to use machines to make tunnels on the Moon-- described as cutting through rock like butter. There's documentation on nuclear-powered tunneling machines. Anti-gravity research documents seem to dry up in the 1960s, but this technology went classified, and it is part of the clandestine space program. There are unsolved disappearances of citizens-- some taken to underground facilities and used as guinea pigs for secretive cloning and genetic experiments.

Anomalous Phenomena

Investigator of anomalous phenomena and U.K. radio host Ross Hemsworth discussed his latest work on EVPs, parallel dimensions, UFOs, crop circles, and orbs. Something could be tapping into electromagnetic energy in the earth, at various hotspots, to create paranormal activity.
Here are observations:
Clairvoyants can sometimes communicate with orbs, which seem to be a manifestation of energy, typically circular in shape.
An image of a Reptilian or interdimensional alien was captured in a photo taken at Rendlesham Forest. The being was not seen by the naked eye.
The veil between dimensions is coming down as we get closer to 2012. Cultures (the Maya, Hopi, Maori) have pointed to 2012 as a time of pivotal change.
There is a powerful energy line running underneath Loch Ness. Geophysical fault lines could allow for a portal or gateway where creatures such as Nessie come through.
Time slips are views of a parrallel universe in a different time range.
Ouija Boards open a gateway but often to lower realm spirits.
Cases of psychic attack are on the rise.
Cemeteries are not particularly haunted, as spirits leave their bodies at the point of death, not where they're buried.
For recording EVPs, use a cassette tape recorder, ask questions, then leave the room with the recorder running.
Infrared camcorders seem to work well for capturing anomalous activity on video.

Science & The Supernatural
Ian Punnett welcomed Harvard educated brain surgeon Dr. Allan Hamilton for a discussion about his experiences with spirituality and the supernatural, and how they manifested themselves in lives of patients. Reflecting on anomalous events observed over the course of his career, Hamilton said, "it's pervasive throughout medicine and yet we've sort of held the lid on it."
Hamilton talked about having the unsettling ability to know a patient is dangerously close to death because they take on a yellow, waxy color. He noticed this while working as an assistant to a veterinarian and saw it appear on dying animals' faces. As a surgeon, he recognized the hue again on faces of patients who went on to die or came precipitously close to death. He dismissed this was an absolute means of determining a patient's viability but ordered tests on a patient after observing the troubling color.
He shared an amazing story of a seemingly separate form of consciousness which he said was "about as close as I'll get to the holy grail of the soul in this life." A recovering brain surgery patient remembered the doctors' OR conversation and described it with remarkable detail. Due to the nature of the surgery, her brain had no electrical activity at the time and the creation of memories should have been impossible. There's no way this brain can make memories. Yet, memories were made somewhere.
Spying & Espionage

KGB agent and intelligence expert Oleg Kalugin discussed Soviet propaganda, mysterious disappearances, cover-ups, and provided an insider account of what it was like to be a spy working behind the Iron Curtain.

Astral Possession & Spiritual Healing
Author and speaker Dr. Susan Shumsky talked about astral possession and shared her own nightmarish possession experience, which happened the first time she tried psychedelic LSD. Shumsky was plagued by visual and auditory hallucinations, and even sought the help of a psychiatrist to find relief. A cure eventually came through transcendental meditation.
Shumsky explained how people can be bound with psychic ties formed by the residue left over from negative experiences, and stressed the importance of cutting these cords in order to have better more intimate relationships. Shumsky suggested those afflicted by psychic ties say the following prayer: "I now call upon [the god of your understanding] to cut all psychic ties between myself and [name of person]. These psychic ties are now lovingly cut, lifted, blessed, healed, released and let go into the divine light."
Shumsky spoke about psychic vampires and psychic bullies who drain and manipulate their victims. She offered a daily affirmation to help people maintain self-authority and deal with these attacks: "I am in control. I am the only authority in my life. I am divinely protected by the light of my being. I close off my aura and body of light to the lower astral levels of mind and I open to the spiritual world."
Shumsky discussed faker spirits pretending to be other beings in order to attach themselves to living humans and control them. A simple method of astral healing can be employed to de-possess people. Rather than driving out a demonic spirit (which would just go piggy back someone else's soul), she attempts to heal the entity and send it into the divine light.

Consciousness Experiments

Founder of the Global Consciousness Project (GCP), Roger Nelson discussed his efforts to scientifically quantify activity of consciousness in the world. The GCP continuously collects data from a network of random number generators located at 65 sites around the world, and examines correlations that may reflect the activity of consciousness. Specific global events such as 9-11 have set off spikes in the pattern of the number generators that are statistically very unlikely to occur randomly. This type of evidence has led Nelson to conclude that large scale group consciousness can have effects in the physical world.
Spikes in the number generators seen just before major events indicate that global consciousness can have premonitions just as individual humans do. The brain's neurons result in consciousness-- neurons don't know anything about consciousness, but produce it. Humans operate in a similar fashion in the way they create a global consciousness. Humanity may be capable of a consciousness evolution, tapping into the unitary whole.

Telepathy & Technology
Lecturer and author Dr. Nick Begich discussed research on telepathy in the battlefield, where brain waves give commands. Today's science-fiction may be tomorrow science-fact. Begich described DARPA's far-out experiments which allow military communication through analysis of neural signals rather than vocalized speech, using EEG to read brain waves. A similar technique might be employed with mind reading binoculars which pick up threats faster than the conscious mind can process them.
He raised ethical concerns over the use of such neuro-technology, and the possible imposition of learning people's inner/private thoughts. People wrestle with their thoughts, which are later formalized into behavior, so analysis of the thought process may not yield accurate conclusions about a person's actions.
It may be possible to create or delete memory sets-- but how could one discern the truthfulness of testimony such as in a court of law? We are now seeing the convergence of computer, biological, and electronic systems, allowing the unprecedented interface between humans and machines. Check this YouTube video clip that features excerpts from some of his lectures/demos as well as an appearance on the Canadian TV show, Undercurrents.

Cosmology & Discoveries
Physics and mathematics Pr at Columbia University, Brian Greene discussed discoveries in cosmology, and the groundbreaking Superstring Theory and other current research. Einstein's quest for a Unified Field Theory went unfulfilled in his lifetime. String Theory could turn out to be the uniting explanation he was looking for. The theory suggests that inside the smallest known particles such as quarks and electrons even smaller objects exist-- filaments or strings that vibrate and produce different particles.
Related to this is the idea that we may live in a world with as many as 11 different dimensions. These dimensions may not be that exotic-- they could just not be visible to humans. The Big Bang could be happening in an ongoing fashion creating new universes, like bubbles, and it might be possible someday to communicate with other universes through gravitational signals.
It's possible our universe is not curved but like a gigantic cube that goes on forever, such that if you kept going you would never return to your starting place. A black hole could be thought of as a moment where time ends, rather than a specific location.
C2C, 2009 06 02
Premonitions
Medical sage, known for his work on the healing power of prayer, Dr. Larry Dossey discussed premonitions, and how the mind is more powerful than conventional science reports. Premonitions or forewarnings deal with upcoming disastrous incidents or health problems. A mother dreamt about a chandelier that fell on her baby. She acted on the premonition, the child's life was saved. The chandelier did end up crashing into the crib.
There could be a genetic component to premonitions that protects from upcoming hazards, and fosters survival. The ability to have warnings about the future suggests that consciousness is not localized strictly within the brain or body, or aligned to time. One can recognize accurate premonitions by their numinosity, vividness, and whether they are shared by others.
In a 1950 incident, an entire choir avoided a natural gas explosion at their church by showing up late for practice. Each member had mundane reasons for being late. They stayed away because they had an unconscious linked awareness.
A practice of meditation, keeping a dream diary, is useful in becoming attuned to premonitions. The futurist think tank, the Arlington Institute has a project in which people record premonitions/intuitions. http://gotpsi.org/html/gotpsi.htm offers online tests of psychic abilities.

Extinctions & Climate Change
Live from Manila, Art Bell returned for a discussion with Prof. Peter Ward about his work on mass extinctions and the self destructive nature of our planet, as well as the possibility for life in our solar system and beyond. Saturn's moon Titan may harbor life, but it's so cold there that life forms might be silicon rather carbon-based, and move at an extremely slow pace. Gravity from Earth's moon slows us to our 24-hours in-a-day cycle. If the moon was gone, the Earth would have 4-hour days and a never ending series of storms.
Life is ultimately its own worst enemy. Out of 14 mass extinctions on Earth, only one-- the extinction of the dinosaurs, was related to an asteroid. The rest were due to bacteria that took over and created toxic hydrogen sulfide gas. With the current scenario of greenhouse gases and global warming, we're heading into a future where conditions for this bacteria to proliferate will return. As in the deep past, we'd see the ocean turn purple and skies turn green.
Ward commented that the Gaia Hypothesis, that Earth is a living being that sustains itself, leads to wishful thinking and that we must use technology and engineering to avoid the disastrous effects of climate change. He argued for increasing alternative forms of energy, curbing pollution, and practicing conservation.
Tech Dumbing Down Kids
Ian Punnett was joined by Emory U. Pr Mark Bauerlein who discussed his theory that the digital age, with its promise of quick and easy access to information, has actually produced a generation of young people (less than 30) less knowledgeable about the world and more self-absorbed than any that has preceded.
We keep waiting for the fruits of all of this greater knowledge and information to come forth in younger people. Reading scores are down since the early 1990s, an increasing number of incoming freshmen are placed into remedial courses, and employers complain about poor communications skills in their younger employees.
Bauerlein believes electronic messaging and social-networking (Twitter, MySpace, Facebook, IM) have contributed to the problem, as digital tools allow young people to remain entirely focused on themselves and their peers. Kids communicate with friends 24 hours a day about every trivial detail of their lives. This immersion in the adolescent world is preventing young people from growing up.
Bauerlein pointed out that constant texting, with its simple sentences and peculiar grammar, has reduced this generations' capacity to write cogent arguments, read dense texts and perform well as students. As many as 55% of high school students study or read no more than 1 h/week.
Bauerlein expressed concern over statistics that show the number of young Americans majoring in science, math and technology has dropped over the last 20 years. A larger number of foreign born students are now seeking advanced degrees in these subjects. This shift will cause the United States to lose its intellectual edge to other nations, such as China and India, and diminish the country's economic power.

Mind Programming
Doctor of Psychology and Metaphysics, and student of the human mind, Eldon Taylor discussed his work in mind control and brainwashing, subliminal suggestion, lie detection, and reverse speech. His book Mind Programming is here to make people aware that marketers are spending billions to influence minds, and that armed with this knowledge they take back the power of the mind.
We don't stop to think that we're unable to think-- our perceptual framework has been foisted upon us. Violence depicted on TV and in video games acts to desensitize people to life-affirming values.
Subliminal messages have been employed by advertisers for products such as cigarettes and liquor, planting hidden material that heightens one's sense of arousal, as well as building anxiety. Political campaigns have used these kinds of messages. During the 2000 campaign, a Bush ad against Gore, flashed the word RAT, shortened from DEMOCRAT. Advertising influences, and tipped the election in favor of Bush.
He spoke about his work with lie detection and the polygraph machine, which he characterized as a kind of bio-feedback mechanism. Reverse speech is similar to a Freudian slip.
Happiness Research
Author and futurist Stephan Schwartz talked about research that shows happiness is contagious. Our minds are linked. He suggested a four-fold set of tools to take control of one's life:
Figure out what your purpose is.
Develop a practice of focusing.
Develop a practice of self-healing.
Find a way to look into your future with goals but not cherished outcomes.

Programmed Reality
Scientific truth seeker Jim Elvidge presented the theory of a programmed reality of the universe. Everything we perceive could be under programmed control, with thoughts and intents monitored and generated by a computational mechanism. Theories have been proposed by philosophers, physicists, and sci-fi authors. As technology such as video games and virtual reality becomes more lifelike, this notion might be probable. Programmers of our reality could be humans from the future able to create advanced simulations. Possibilities include an AI-generated reality like in The Matrix, or an alien civilization's program that reveals its own artifacts (UFOs, the anomalous archeology findings Michael Cremo has written about). Paranormal phenomena such as telepathy and clairvoyance tie in with the notion of the Akashic Records, where all future and past events can be accessed. From a programmed reality standpoint, the Akashic field is a data bank of the computer.

The Future of Science
Theoretical physicist Michio Kaku discussed how dreams may become reality in the not-too-distant future. Inspired by the dismissive nature of other scientists to far-reaching ideas, Kaku studied possibilities for such fictional advancements. He found what many believe to be impossible may be a matter of time. He marveled that 80% of science fiction is actually do-able within a few decades to a century.
On a microscopic scale, scientists in Austria have teleported photons over incremental distances. Teleporting more complex structures like whole molecules could become possible within this decade. A breakthrough closer to reality is telepathy. We read rudiments of thought in the lab.
Kaku warned of a dire future scenario: a solar tsunami from outer space wiping out communications on planet Earth. The sun undergoes a polar shift every 11 years, creating a shock wave. The next event is, chillingly, on 2012. Painting a frightening scenario, Kaku said that if the Earth was hit by a massive solar burst, the result could be catastrophic with property damage reaching up to 1 trillion $.
Few things violate laws of physics. Most of what is seen in Star Trek and Star Wars is just an engineering problem.

Doctors confirm woman's imaginary third arm
The brain of a 64-year-old patient reacts as if she had a third arm.
The woman reported to doctors at Geneva University Hospital the presence of a pale, milky-white and translucent third arm.
After examining the case, the woman's neurologist, Asaid Khateb of the hospital's experimental neurophysiology laboratory, called the phenomenon credible.
The arm appeared to the woman a few days after suffering a stroke.
This case of a supernumerary phantom limb (SPL) is a head-scratcher.
The woman can use the apparitional extremity to relieve itches on the cheek. It cannot penetrate solid objects.
She does not always perceive the arm but retrieves it when needed.
It is the first case known of a person being able to feel, see and deliberately move a limb that doesn't exist. Findings are published in the Annals of Neurology.
Khateb and his colleagues examined the patient's brain using functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to see whether the brain is stimulated, and to pinpoint where. Investigations revealed that the woman experienced what she described.
Researchers instructed the woman to move her right hand. The motor cortex and visual processing areas in the left side of her brain mobilised.
The same effects were observed to a lesser extent when the woman imagined moving her right hand. Imaginary movements of the woman's paralysed left hand prompted the same activity on the right side.
When asked to move her phantom arm, the brain reacted as though the arm existed and could be moved. The visual cortex was activated, indicating she saw the imaginary limb.
When instructed to scratch her cheek, regions of the brain relating to touch were activated.
The cause of the imaginary arm remains a mystery. Supernumerary limbs are rare. There are 9 known cases of a patient feeling and seeing an arm.
"Existing evidence from stroke-elicited SPLs implicates the mismatch between the subject's well-established sensorimotor representations and a suddenly aberrant pattern of communication between the brain and the paralysed limb," authors wrote.
It could represent a missing link between classical phantom limbs and phenomena such as out-of-body experiences (OBE).
Phantom limbs are associated with people who have had an amputation. 50 to 80 % of people who have had body parts removed suffer from it. In most cases it is painful, according to a 1984 article published in the Clinical Journal of Pain.
"These conditions might offer a unique way to understand how the brain constructs a normal experience of bodily awareness and the self" .
The ancient Greek physician Hippocrates described symptoms of a stroke.
A stroke occurs when the blood supply to the brain is disrupted. It leaves part of the brain unable to function, leading to paralysis, cognitive impairments and difficulty seeing.
Strokes can cause permanent neurological damage and death, and are one of the leading causes of death in the Western world.
Symptoms of stroke include numbness, loss in brain function, altered sensory perception (smell, taste, hearing, vision), decreased reflexes, change in heart rate and breathing.
People at a higher risk of stroke are those with high blood cholesterol and diabetes, smokers, heavy drinkers, drug users, people with unhealthy diets and obese.
Neurosurgeon John L. Turner M.D. spoke about his spiritual journey and study of metaphysical techniques. During a brain tumor surgery that wasn't going well, he first tried out the power of prayer. "Please let me help stop this bleeding," he thought, and miraculously the patient started to do better almost immediately. It was as though he was tapping into a higher power. This incident launched his quest to study life-after-death, electronic voice phenomena (EVP), remote viewing, and out-of-body experiences.
Setting up a method known as Radio Sweep to capture EVP, Turner captured the voice of a deceased friend, uttering the word "hello." See johnlturner.com/index.php/114-The-Cryptic-Case-of-Martin-Simmonds.html

Exorcism & Demons
Journalist Matt Baglio discussed his work chronicling an American priest's training as an exorcist, and how the exorcism ritual is used to combat demonic influence and possession. Baglio took a course in exorcism training offered by a Vatican-affiliated university near Rome. Italy has 350-400 church-appointed exorcists, and 500,000 people seek out exorcisms annually in that country. The United States has 14-15 exorcists sanctioned by the Catholic church.
Demons are fallen angels, incorporeal beings who manipulate matter: opening and closing doors, making objects move around or disappear, changing the room temperature. People open themselves up to demons and become tormented by them, through practicing the occult, hardened sin, curses, cults. Exorcism draws out the demon.
Those who are possessed through a curse are among the hardest to exorcise. A priest can determine if the possession is the result of a curse by touching a cross to parts of the afflicted's body. The possessed vomit up braids of hair, beads, 3-inch nails, a live toad. In the case of the toad, it began to jump around the room, and when the priest caught it, it dissolved into saliva.
"Dangers associated with exorcism have been over-hyped, with respect to how exorcists can be attacked. I asked one exorcist, is it true if you put your hand on a person's head that you become possessed or the demon comes out of the person into you? He laughed, and said it was ridiculous. It's not a disease, you can't catch it. You can't become possessed by living with a possessed person. This is an interior thing that happens through the individual will of the person." --Matt Baglio

Parapsychology & Rhine
Author Stacy Horn discussed her research into the work of Dr. J. B. Rhine who led the Duke University Parapsychology Lab from 1930 to 1980. Prof. Rhine was the first to apply the scientific method in studying parapsychology and came up with repeatable experiments that showed telepathy, psychokinesis, and precognition do exist, to some degree. Zener Cards that depict five different designs were used in double blind studies and demonstrated that some have ESP abilities.
www.psychic-experiences.com/psychic-tests/zener-cards.php
Horn went through boxes of Rhine's correspondence with figures such as Einstein & Nixon, as well as people involved in paranormal activity such as Rev. Luther Schultz who dealt with the possessed boy in the 1949 case that the movie & book The Exorcist was based on. Schultz believed that a poltergeist was the cause of the disruptions rather than demonic possession. The Rhine Lab investigated cases of poltergeist activity, and their possible connections to psychokinetic abilities. It found that 17 out of 65 (26%) cases had no normal explanation.
Throughout his research, Rhine's work faced negative and disparaging reactions from scientists at large. After his death, the Parapsychology Lab left Duke, and reformed as the private Rhine Research Center. PEAR (Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research) Lab closed in 2007. The University of Virginia offers a Division of Perceptual Studies on the paranormal.

A Science of Alchemy?
Investigator of alternative technologies and physics, Joseph P. Farrell discussed his research into ancient alchemy and how the principles behind it have been used by Nazi scientists. Farrell cautioned against dismissing alchemy as a pseudo science, noting that the concept has endured for hundreds of years. "They wouldn't be doing this if, in some cases, they didn't have some success". The historical record is replete with occasions of alchemists claiming to have been successful in their experiments.
Looking at how alchemical science may have played a part in recent history, Farrell pointed out that it is often forgotten by historians that "alchemy was kind of a popular hobby, in between the wars, inside of Germany." There were serious scientific studies being done by German companies, aimed at mastering the ancient practice. He theorized that the infamous project "The Bell" was evidence that the Nazis were working with the same concepts that were used by historical alchemists. However, such experiments had goals far beyond turning base metals into gold.
Some potential possibilities as a result of successfully harnessing the transformative powers attributed to alchemy, are free energy and a new form of propulsion. But the ability to weaponize this advanced science keeps powers that be from revealing it to the world. Farrell said, "we're fast approaching the day when we can no longer afford, as a planet, to ignore its beneficial applications."
"Anytime you're in possession of a technology that can engineer the fabric of space-time itself, directly, then you have a weaponization potential that would make the hydrogen bomb look like a firecracker." --Joseph P. Farrell on the far-reaching dangers of the Nazi's alchemically-based research.

Alcohol Fuel Update
Alternative energy advocate David Blume updated on alcohol fuel. Big oil companies take control of independent fuel markets like oil refiner Valero, buying the corn ethanol plants of bankrupt ethanol producer VeraSun. Bankruptcies are related to the manipulation of futures contracts.
Cars can run on up to 50% alcohol without conversion. Plants such as sweet sorghum and cattails offer a higher yield for fuel than corn.

Synchronicity
Authors Marie D. Jones and Larry Flaxman discussed the phenomenon of frequently seeing 11:11 on clocks, and the Jungian synchronicities of numbers. When people wake up and look at the clock, it's often the same time. Synchronicities are an exterior influence, a guardian angel giving a time prompt, or the matrixing of the brain, the propensity for pattern recognition.
Synchronicities, meaningful coincidences, link an objective experience with a subjective response. The more this occurs, the more we take notice. Time prompts such as 11:11, and other combinations like 4:44, remind to live in the present, be alert, to slow down. This message is more important than the numbers.

State Sovereignty in the USA
Alternative media activist Alex Jones spoke about the issue of state sovereignty-- over 20 states have passed or proposed resolutions to maintain the 10th Amendment which asserts states' rights. The US govt. is intrusive to individual states in their policies on such issues as medical marijuana, home schooling, and gun control. Author Jerome Corsi said we witness the beginning of a movement sweeping the country, with states fed up with the federal level of fiscal irresponsibility.
Representatives Matt Shea, Jim Guest, Dan Itse, & Charles Key described sovereignty efforts in their home states. Shea of Washington state, said they are sending a message, telling Feds to back off. Jim Guest of Missouri cited the Real I.D. act is problematic. Jones suggested the union is already gone and that America has been sold out to foreign banks. States have the right to dissolve the federal government in order to reconstitute it.
"A bunch of Madoffs run the world. They created over 1,000 trillion or one quadrillion in a tsunami of fake money. It had value early on and they bought the whole world up with it and now they're bringing us into the final phase where they implode it. They have all the real assets and then there's a global fire sale. They set up a world bank that sets the world's regulations... they're introducing it like it's the Savior... We're in the final phase, we always said when they finally announce it... that's when you know they're dropping the hammer." --Alex Jones

Democracy
It's coming through a hole in the air,
from those nights in Tiananmen Square.
It's coming from the feel
that this ain't exactly real,
or it's real, but it ain't exactly there.
From the wars against disorder,
from the sirens night and day,
from the fires of the homeless,
from the ashes of the gay:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.
It's coming through a crack in the wall;
on a visionary flood of alcohol;
from the staggering account
of the Sermon on the Mount
which I don't pretend to understand at all.
It's coming from the silence
on the dock of the bay,
from the brave, the bold, the battered
heart of Chevrolet:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.

It's coming from the sorrow in the street,
the holy places where the races meet;
from the homicidal bitchin'
that goes down in every kitchen
to determine who will serve and who will eat.
From the wells of disappointment
where the women kneel to pray
for the grace of God in the desert here
and the desert far away:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.

Sail on, sail on
O mighty Ship of State!
To the Shores of Need
Past the Reefs of Greed
Through the Squalls of Hate
Sail on, sail on, sail on, sail on.

It's coming to America first,
the cradle of the best and of the worst.
It's here they got the range
and the machinery for change
and it's here they got the spiritual thirst.
It's here the family's broken
and it's here the lonely say
that the heart has got to open
in a fundamental way:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.

It's coming from the women and the men.
O baby, we'll be making love again.
We'll be going down so deep
the river's going to weep,
and the mountain's going to shout Amen!
It's coming like the tidal flood
beneath the lunar sway,
imperial, mysterious,
in amorous array:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.

Sail on, sail on ...

I'm sentimental, if you know what I mean
I love the country but I can't stand the scene.
And I'm neither left or right
I'm just staying home tonight,
getting lost in that hopeless little screen.
But I'm stubborn as those garbage bags
that Time cannot decay,
I'm junk but I'm still holding up
this little wild bouquet:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.

Recent tests have shown that a skull fragment with a bullet hole thought to be from Adolf Hitler actually belonged to a woman. The piece of bone had long been held up as evidence that the Fuhrer shot himself in his bunker, as the Russians advanced into Berlin in April 1945.
Joseph P. Farrell, commented on this new evidence, noting that the skull may belong to Hitler's companion, Eva Braun. He also briefly outlined his theory that Hitler escaped to San Carlos de Bariloche, Argentina, with the help of his private secretary Martin Bormann, where they lived out their final days.

Anthrax Attacks & Germ Warfare
Journalists and filmmakers Bob Coen and Eric Nadler discussed their work on the untold story of the 2001 anthrax attacks, dark secrets of germ warfare research, and how it ties in with deaths of microbiologists around the world. Biodefense researcher Bruce Ivins, the suspect the FBI named in anthrax attacks, committed suicide before he could be brought to trial. Ivins' co-workers at Fort Detrick in Maryland, whom Nadler & Coen spoke with, said his death was a convenient set-up. The equipment needed to make the weaponized anthrax used in the 2001 attacks wasn't available to Ivins.
Coen & Nadler investigated the mysterious suicide of biological warfare expert David Kelly, who worked as a UN weapons inspector in Iraq, as well as at the UK's Porton Down in the Defence Microbiology Division. Forensic evidence showed his death was a murder. There were no fingerprints on the knife he used to cut his wrist. Kelly may have worked with Dr. Death Wouter Basson in South Africa, where ethno-specific bioweapons were developed in the 1980s. Kelly might have wanted to get out of his field and reveal secrets, and had to be eliminated as a man who knew too much.
A Soviet biological warfare expert, who defected to the UK, Vladimir Pasechnik, died of a stroke in 2001 and may be another case of someone who knew too much. The big picture is that there's a germ warfare race underway globally, and that the corporate sector is profiting from it. The late Stephen Dresch, an investigator who followed the trail, referred to the international bioweapons mafia, which includes university professors, spooks, corporate leaders, and European industrialists.

Generation Rx
Writer/producer Kevin Miller talked about his film project, Generation Rx, which looks at how serious side effects and suicide are associated with psychiatric drugs like Prozac. The pharmaceutical industry has acted in collusion with the FDA to downplay or hush-up dangers of these substances.

JFK Assassination & Conspiracies
George Knapp welcomed award-winning broadcaster John Barbour for a discussion about the JFK assassination. Parts of Barbour's interview with the late Jim Garrison were played. Garrison was the New Orleans DA who conducted his investigation into the assassination and implicated the CIA. AboveTopSecret.com's Mark Allin joined the conversation to talk about the evolution of conspiracy-related media.
Barbour said his 3-hour interview with Garrison was inspiring and exhilarating. Portions aired on his TV show Real People in 1988, were edited without his consent. It made Garrison look delusional. He told Barbour that he believed 6 people killed Kennedy, acting in 3 teams of 2. 32 individuals were involved in the conspiracy. Included was Lawrence V. Meyers, a businessman with ties to the CIA, who met with Jack Ruby on Nov. 23rd, 1963.
The changing of JFK's motorcade route in Dallas was part of the conspiracy. A CIA agent named Richard Case Nagell who had been assigned to keep an eye on Oswald, claimed he wrote a letter to J. Edgar Hoover in September 1963, warning of a plot to assassinate Kennedy in November. He was ignored and jailed. Allin commented that after all these years, people want answers in the JFK assassination, and that the 9-11 truth movement has served to re-energize public's interest in conspiracies. Barbour's interview The Garrison Tapes, can be viewed in its entirety on AboveTopSecret.com at http://media.abovetopsecret.com/media/1956/The_Garrison_Tapes_Part_1/

Thermite & 9-11
Investigative reporter Linda Moulton Howe discussed explosive material found in 9/11 WTC dust. An April 2009 report in the Open Chemical Physics Journal by a Danish chemist and American physicist said that nanotechnolgy-produced thermite was found in dust samples at the WTC site after the 9-11 attacks. Linda spoke with Pr. David Harrit of the University of Copenhagen who told her that Livermore Lab was producing such material for military purposes and there is no doubt that the explosions of the future will be nanothermitic. She also interviewed Steven E. Jones, Ph.D., co-author of the report with Harrit. He spoke about how NIST (National Institute for Standards and Technology) refused to look for explosives in the residue, in their congressional ordered investigation into 9-11.


On this date in 1776, in Bavaria, Jesuit-taught Dr. Adam Weishaupt formed a secret society, the Order of the Illuminati.

Moon Hoax Theory
Ian Punnett spoke with documentary filmmaker Bart Sibrel, who provided evidence to show moon missions were faked by NASA. The lack of photographic evidence of Neil Armstrong's famous moon walk is suspect, as is the astronaut's unwillingness to talk about his alleged experiences on the moon. Armstrong eluded to this deception in a cryptic speech from 1994, when he told a group of high school students that someday they would be able to remove one of truth's protective layers like the 25,000 mile thick Van Allen radiation belt, which would have kept astronauts from traveling beyond low earth orbit. Apollo 12 astronaut Alan Bean admitted he did not pass through this dangerous radiation barrier. Sibrel spoke about moon mission photos, specifically a fake shot by the Apollo 11 crew showing their progress halfway to the moon, as well as his controversial theory about the Apollo 1 fire, which may have been set by the CIA.
Callers lined up on both sides of the debate, many agreeing in one way or another. Ian invited Sibrel back to speak with Kevin W. Kelley, author of The Home Planet who has looked at every hand held image taken by astronauts and concluded that they went to the moon. Sibrel disagreed since moon photos appear to have been lit using artificial lights in a studio.
Manson
Richard from Connecticut referred Ian to a recent photo of Charles Manson that shows a man who has lived a life of pain. Victoria in Arizona talked about a connection between Manson victim, Sharon Tate, and Robert Kennedy, and suggested Manson used MK Ultra mind control techniques on his followers.


Ian played an audio clip from journalist Seymour Hersh, who claims to have uncovered an executive assassination ring led by former VP Dick Cheney.

Chips, Surveillance, Privacy
PI Roger Tolces spoke about the latest news in surveillance. Computers are assembled in China, and he presented his theory of the Manchurian microchip. According to a source, machines are secretly equipped with a hidden microchip that can be activated at any time by China's military-intelligence service to gather information.
Privacy expert Katherine Albrecht warned of GE's development of a technology baptized "Smart Grid." The plan calls for people to install smart meters and thermostats in their homes to allow outside parties to monitor household activities remotely. Appliances could be turned off during peak usage hours. Detailed monitoring would encroach on privacy.
Albrecht expressed concerns over the increased usage of RFID tags to track drivers in their cars. Tags may be added to enhanced driver's licenses. This would turn the cards into remotely readable tracking devices-- making people trackable all the time.

Military ChemWar Experiments
George Knapp was joined by attorney Gordon P. Erspamer and psychiatrist Dr. James Ketchum, who engaged in a spirited debate over military experiments conducted on troops during the 1950s and 60s. Guests offered different perspectives on how much soldiers were told about tests and who was behind the project on LSD, BZ (the deliriant hallucinogen, 3-quinuclidinyl benzilate administered to U.S. troops by the government in secret to increase fighting power) and marijuana derivatives.
Ketchum, who conducted such tests for the Army at the Edgewood Arsenal facility, said that the research was aimed at protecting soldiers against potential chemical attacks by enemy nations. Soldiers in the program were prepared quite thoroughly. Ketchum detailed a rigorous process in which they have plenty of time to ask questions and have them answered and they also have the opportunity to withdraw from any study they don't want to go into.
Erspamer disagreed with Ketchum's claims that soldiers were extensively informed about experiments, saying it's absolutely contrary to his understanding and discussions with every soldier he'd spoken to. Participants at Edgewood had been duped beforehand and told they'd be testing military equipment. Once there, they just started injecting them with various codenamed substances.
