BASTA! Enough phony-global-terror-threats

Posted on October 16, 2012 by Ken McMurtrie

The source article by Jim Kirwan includes this “I wasn’t anything special at the time, so keeping me quiet then was easy—but the SILENCE of the public that I had to notice then has only grown louder, and what was foreshadowed in those long ago and now forgotten days has come to pass. Just read the table of contents of that still unpublished project and know just how much of this has become REALITY because this nation still refuses to think for itself about anything here.

Stop Bullying: In Memory of Amanda

Posted on October 15, 2012 by Ken McMurtrie

Bullying has been a part of life’s challenges in my lifetime, looking at historical records it seems it has been prevalent in the human lifetime, even a natural characteristic in the animal world.  Perhaps it is a component of evolution, survival of the fittest theory.

When I say perhaps, it’s because of obvious ramifications. Undoubtedly, in the animal world the natural selection process applies and the strongest and/or smartest would surely relate to higher breeding expectations. ‘Smartest’ is included because that parameter would potentially negate the ‘strongest’ being completely dominant.

In the human arena, this theory would still apply, but to a much lesser extent. Bullied persons may have consequential relationship problems lessening their breeding expectations, but human society reactions in assisting these persons would counteract this tendency to some extent. Suicide cases obviously add to this lessening.

What I see as interesting is that, unless the ‘smartest’ aspect comes into play and the social assistance also, the dominance of bullies, if reflected in breeding, is contrary to the desirable outcome of enhanced human evolution. Not that the natural selection aspect of evolution theory has anything to do with improving the niceness and intelligence of the human race! But it would be distinctly beneficial, IMHO, if the number of bullies, or the repercussions of bullying were somehow on a reducing trend.

Bullying at school ages has become a far greater issue now that the internet provides ready avenues for the feeble-minded and twisted, unhappy persons who derive pleasure in hurting others. Society in general, the media in particular, is contributing to bullying when it supports unjustified warmongering and terrorism in the adult world.

Having had child-caring experience, I support ‘ article as posted on ‘Care2’:

I feel compelled today to write about bullying after reading the tragic story of Amanda Todd, a beautiful girl from Port Coquitlam, BC, Canada who committed suicide after being bullied and abused by kids at her school and online by the same kids.

Battling the Self

Posted on October 15, 2012 by Ken McMurtrie

This ‘Care2’ post reveals some important information from which a lot of us might benefit.

dalia

I know people who have this issue to some degree or other, I cannot exclude myself. Reading this may not provide a revelation, but it might filter through the consciousness.

There is no such thing as being a victim. This doesn’t mean that people can’t hurt you or do things to you that are wrong. This doesn’t mean that you can’t contract a disease or be caught in a war or in someone else’s fight. This doesn’t mean you can’t be innocently attacked. It means that life is what we interpret it to be. This may seem plausible in certain cases, but hard to swallow in others. The Dalia lama said it beautifully when he stated:

“When you think everything is someone else’s fault you will suffer a lot. When you realize that everything springs only from yourself, you will learn both peace and joy”

When we embrace the spiritual path and live our life accordingly, all roads lead back to the self. All challenges can be seen as based on our own personal misconceptions. Every enemy turns out to be only an aspect of ourself. What would happen if every time we encountered a problem, we sought the solution in ourselves. What would happen if we stopped trying to change the external world in order to solve our personal problems and only focused on changing ourselves. Looked at from the perspective of ego, these statements might seem unrealistic. From a psychological perspective it may sound complicated. Taken from the perspective of Soul it is simple, healing and profound.

Ego‘s perspective

Let’s look at this from the perspective of Jed, a fictitious character who is made up of a composite of people I have worked with over my years as a therapist and healer.

Life hasn’t been going so well for Jed. He is at odds with his cantankerous boss. His job is stressful, money is tight and last night his girlfriend walked out on him. Everyone agrees that his boss is difficult to work with. Working conditions are undeniably stressful. The company is struggling financially so Jed’s modest paycheck is not a reflection of his value. As for his girlfriend, she is delightful and charming and it is no surprise that Jed fell in love with her.  Unfortunately for their relationship, her parents died when she was young and she lives in fear that she will be abandoned again. This leads her to assume that anyone she gets close to will leave her. This fear grew as she and Jed became closer, finally developing into anxiety attacks. She developed an obsession with the belief that if she left Jed the anxiety would stop. Despite some faulty reasoning, in a convoluted way she was correct. By leaving Jed she would no longer suffer from anxiety attacks stemming from the fear that he would leave her. Jed feels powerless in all these situations and sees himself as an innocent victim of circumstances. Why, the ego asks, is Jed so unlucky?

Psychological perspective – with a spiritual twist

Jed is filled with deep insecurities and doesn’t believe he deserves to get what he wants. There are good reasons he feels this. After all his father was an alcoholic and one thing he said to Jed on a regular basis was “You good for nothing fool. You don’t even deserve the roof over your head and the food I give you. If it were up to me I would throw you out into the street.” He became painfully affected by his Father’s anger. After he heard it enough times be began to  believe it and one’s beliefs are very powerful. New age thought says we create from our beliefs.  I think this is true but not through magic, but through basic psychology – with a spiritual twist.  How does this manifest in Jed’s world?

Jed is bright and competent but so hesitant and insecure that he makes people uncomfortable.  He was sure he was undeserving and would be fired from his first job – which caused him to make enough mistakes and then apologize so inappropriately that he finally managed to get himself fired. He couldn’t see this and felt unjustly accused, rejected and a victim – all very familiar feelings for him. He defined himself as a victim and therefore acted like one. If he had perceived himself as worthy he would have reacted differently and not only kept his job, but moved up in the company. He had the skills, but unconsciously sabotaged his ability to use them.  While looking for a new job, he was offered two different positions. One was with a successful company with great working conditions. The staff seemed friendly and accepting of him, which made him feel like an imposter. He turned them down. If he didn’t even deserve a roof and food from his Dad, how could he trust or accept what these strangers were offering. The second job was with his current company. When the boss offered him the position, he did so with a sneer and some subtly veiled insults – not because he didn’t like Jed. He spoke to everyone that way.  Basically, he was just a bitter angry man. Sadly, that hint of mistreatment felt familiar and comfortable to Jed. He took the job. He would have been much better off with the other one.

Spiritual perspective

We as individuals have much more power over our lives than we realize and unconsciously use this power to create what we expect. Jed expects to be a victim so he acts like one, makes his decisions based on what he expects and then helps it manifest. All his life, he has unconsciously chosen situations, jobs and women that would prove to himself that his feelings of inferiority and expectation of rejection were correct. If these unconscious assumptions don’t change he will just make the same choices again, so before he blows up the life he has created, he needs to battle and change his own damaged self concept. In other words, if he wants to live his life consciously as a spiritual warrior, all his battles start and end with himself. So, I will end where I began:  there is no such thing as being a victim. There are only interpretations and decisions made from these interpretations. Facing ourself and facing what we hold buried in our psyche is never easy, but it is possible. People can change. It is the essence of what healing is about. As human beings we are willing to look at what is light and easy, but tend to lock away our hurts and wounds below the level of conscious awareness. It is always easier to blame the other person, rather than look honestly at oneself. Hopefully by more fully understanding this process, more people will have the courage to honestly face and when necessary, do battle with themselves. The ensuing freedom from pain will be well worth the battle. We may be our own worst enemy, but we are also capable of being our own best friend.

Cool facts about blood vessels

Posted on October 14, 2012 by Ken McMurtrie

More than interesting.
Some Important facts regarding fats, sedentary life-style, excercise and genes on your cardiovascular health.

Rehabilitate Your Heart

Are you raising a family? If so you want them to grow strong and healthy. When you consider their growth, think of their blood vessels.   I know that seems kind of out of the ordinary, but if we can work to keep not only ourselves healthy and consider those who we share our lives with.  Their health is important! Encourage your family to adopt healthy lifestyles  and prevent disease.

Fact: Every pound of fat gained causes your body to make 7 new miles of blood vessels.

Knowing this, it’s easy to see why obesity and heart disease often go together. Most of the new blood vessels are tiny capillaries, but also include small veins and arteries. This means if you are “only” 10 pounds overweight your heart has to pump blood through an extra 70 miles of blood vessels.

 The good news is that this also works in reverse…

Vaccination Data Misrepresentation.

Posted on October 14, 2012 by Ken McMurtrie

Good to see some substantive evidence that makes the ‘anti-vacciners’ seem genuine and less like ‘loonies’.

Just ME in T's Health Stuff

The Entire Vaccine Industry Is Being Exposed
For Unproven Assumptions
and Misrepresentations of Data

 

This wonderful article is frompreventiondisease.com

 
There are no safe vaccines. There never was and never will be with the current misrepresented data and unproven assumptions that have spanned over a century in the making. The fact is, every single vaccine is now being exposed for the lack of demonstrated evidence to actually prevent a single case of disease over a placebo. Think it’s an exaggeration? Think again.

The reality of two centuries of mortality graphs, and disease declines and vaccine effectiveness vs. dangers is always in stark contradiction to the claims of government health officials.

People are now listening more than ever and the message is spreading like wild fire. The evidence being highlighted is that the historical significance and effectiveness of vaccines is nothing more than repeated myths absent of any…

AGW – Global Heating due to CO2, OR Cooling due to nature?

Posted on October 13, 2012 by Ken McMurtrie

Just a brief look at some planetary weather anomalies.

Spring in Australia, cold and snowy. Ref.  COTO post: Australia storm gives rare snow – First October snow in a century.

“An unusually cold storm in southern Australia has dished out the first October snow in a century.”

Autumn in Arizona, cold and snowy. Ref. COTO post: Arizona October Snow? Strong fall storm headed for northern Arizona.

“A strong fall storm moving into Arizona on Thursday is expected to drop up to three inches of snow in the higher elevations. The National Weather Service said the greatest likelihood of severe storms will be from Thursday evening through Friday morning. Daytime temperatures Friday will be about 15-20 degrees cooler than earlier this week.”

My bet is that global cooling is real and global warming is not real.

Sure, weather patterns are not conclusive. Neither is the evidence that CO2 levels are a significant factor in controlling global temperatures.

What is conclusive is the evidence that computed average global temperature increases are due more to urban heating and manipulation of data, than CO2 or any pollution factors.

Washington is Conquering Africa using France, Human Rights, Terrorism, and the National Endowment for Democracy

Posted on October 11, 2012 by Ken McMurtrie

This ‘nsnbc‘ post by Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya and Julien Teil, was published in October 2011, but appears still relevant.

This blog has had enough issues to tackle without including the Africa situation, albeit of great importance in the world game of domination. (reminds me of one of the Bond movies and the evil adversary planning to control the world). This time we are talking facts but the scenario is the same. The resources of Africa need to be controlled by the globalists and various means are being applied by various people and organizations in order to achieve that end. If a few million Africans lose their lives or livelihoods in the process, few qualms are evident.

My interest in this abhorrent situation, though it is worthy of any interest based on humanitarianism, is related to truths concerning “who is doing what to whom and who is paying the rent?” This arises from an interesting debate with a reader commenting on my post “As The War Drums Beat” concerning the degree of nastiness and world peace threat presented by the Islamic people power.

I am advocating that, relatively, Islamic militants and fanatics are more or less insignificant, world endangering-wise, compared to the Western powers and globalists. One of the arguments countering my beliefs was – from a link referenced in the reader’s comment, http://oyiabrown.com/2012/09/12/a-germans-view-on-islam-worth-reading/, “ It is the fanatics who systematically slaughter Christian or tribal groups throughout Africa and are gradually taking over the entire continent in an Islamic wave.”

Of course it should now be clear where I am coming from and where I am going.

I publish this post as “the other side of the story”.

A repeat of the disorder and pandemonium generated inside Afghanistan is in the works for the continent of Africa.   The United States, with the help of Britain, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia, created the brutal Taliban and then eventually waged war on its Taliban allies. Similarly, across Africa, the United States and its allies are creating a new series of future enemies to fight, but after initially working with them or using them to sow the seeds of chaos in Africa.

Washington has literally been helping fund insurgencies and regime change projects in Africa.  “Human rights” and “democratization” are also being used as a smokescreen for colonialism and war.  So-called human rights and humanitarian organizations are now partners in this imperialist project against Africa.

France and Israel:  Is Washington Outsourcing its Dirty Work in Africa?

Africa is just one international front for an expanding system of empire.  The mechanisms of a real global system of empire are at work in this regard. Washington is acting through NATO and its allies in Africa. Each one of Washington’s allies and satellites has a specific role to play in the global system of empire.

An Alarming Two Thirds of All Scientific Publications and Research Retracted Found to Be Fraudulent

Posted on October 11, 2012 by Ken McMurtrie

This ‘Globalist Report’ post, an article by Andrew Puhanic, leaps into our consciousness for its amazing facts and its relevance to several issues that drive this blog. Main responses to this from my point of view are:

1. A mockery of true science. It has always been understood (especially with hindsight), that science theories are potentially vulnerable because of measurement ability and accuracy, reproducibility, environmental factors, sample sizes and/or bias, the ability (or lack of), to be remote and independent from the physical factors as well as the human factors of agenda and personal ego. Many things! Usually beyond our control!

Yet, on the whole, man has great understanding and has achieved high levels of accomplishment in establishing scientific theories and practical outcomes. True science has been the goal and has largely been the reward of honest ideals and endeavours.

Now we are to learn that these ideals are not always lived up to. True and honest scientists will be greatly dismayed to learn of this contamination of scientific methodology.

2. Fraud and Corruption:  The degree to which the fraud exists is mind-blowing. In many other areas of human endeavour we have unfortunately come to expect degrees of human frailty to interfere with an honest endeavours. Need I mention them? Policing systems, politics, media, wherever big money exists – pharmaceuticals, agricultural companies, banking, illicit drugs of course but that overlaps into other supposedly innocent areas.

With the commonly claimed exception of #4 below, general science is not expected to be among these areas.

3. The US Connection: The claimed proportion of retracted papers attributed to the US in particular requires more data as the total papers submitted are not catalogued. However, it seems from internet disclosures of suspect and worse, scientific interpretations and applications in these scientific areas, that the US is leading the pack in self-destruction of its own morals, social and political structures and financial system. In effect destroying itself.

4. The Global Warming Example: The science displayed in the global warming debacle is a clear example of this fraud, and vice versa. This exposure makes a mockery of the “peer-reviewed” claim of authenticity.

AN astonishing two-thirds of all biomedical and life-science research publications and research articles that have been retracted from the public domain have been retracted because of fraud.Biomedical and life-science research publications retracted because of fraud by country

An article published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America reviewed more than 2000 scientific articles for reasons why they were retracted from public scrutiny and discovered that 67.4% of retractions were attributed to misconduct, of which includes fraud or suspected fraud (43.4%), duplicate publication (14.2%) and plagiarism (9.8%).

Also, the number of articles retracted from circulation has increased 10 times since 1975.

The Vaccine Hoax is Over by Andrew Baker

Posted on October 3, 2012 by Ken McMurtrie

English: This is CDC Clinic Chief Nurse Lee An...

English: This is CDC Clinic Chief Nurse Lee Ann Jean-Louis extracting Influenza Virus Vaccine, Fluzone® from a 5 ml. vial. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

This Food Freedom News post by , is an eye-opening disclosure of the CDC methodology in aiding and abetting dangerous vaccine programs and cover-ups which reverberate globally. Public health is not only not a priority, it is under attack, according to this revelation.

[The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is a United States federal agency under the Department of Health and Human Services headquartered in Druid Hills] Wikipedia, the free …

Freedom of Information Act in the UK filed by a doctor there has revealed 30 years of secret official documents showing that government experts have:

1. Known the vaccines don’t work
2. Known they cause the diseases they are supposed to prevent
3. Known they are a hazard to children
4. Colluded to lie to the public
5. Worked to prevent safety studies

Those are the same vaccines that are mandated to children in the US.

Educated parents can either get their children out of harm’s way or continue living inside one of the largest most evil lies in history, that vaccines – full of heavy metals, viral diseases, mycoplasma, fecal material, DNA fragments from other species, formaldehyde, polysorbate 80 (a sterilizing agent) – are a miracle of modern medicine.

Freedom of Information Act filed in the US with the CDC by a doctor with an autistic son, seeking information on what the CDC knows about the dangers of vaccines, had by law to be responded to in 20 days. Nearly 7 years later, the doctor went to court and the CDC argued it does not have to turn over documents. A judge ordered the CDC to turn over the documents on September 30th, 2011.

The Innocence of U.S. Foreign Policy – FAILED Journalism

Posted on October 2, 2012 by Ken McMurtrie

An extract: “Whereas Arab violence generates adrenalin-pumping headlines and is mostly reported outside any serious context — e.g., the U.S. devastation of Iraq, Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib, the Koran burnings, the ongoing drone assassinations — the violence that emerges from U.S. policy is softened with so much context it’s often a struggle to figure out if anything happened at all.”

COTO Report

 

By Robert C. Koehler
COTO Report

The Saturday headline in the Wall Street Journal was: “Anti-U.S. Mobs on Rampage.”

The next day, a NATO airstrike killed eight women collecting firewood in the mountains of eastern Afghanistan, an event that garnered virtually zero mainstream U.S. headlines.

Somewhere in the gap between these two phenomena — the overheated news about our violent, irrational enemies in the Middle East and the silence surrounding our war and occupation of the region — lies American politics, values, the presidential race, the national identity. Beyond that gap lies the truth about who we are, and only when we have access to it does the future turn into creative possibility and peace become possible.
