Time to heed warnings of Syriza’s ex-finance minister Yanis Varoufakis — RT Op-Edge. After serving in the Georgia Legislature, in 1992, Cynthia McKinney won a seat in the US House of Representatives. She was the first African-American woman from Georgia in the US Congress. In 2005, McKinney was a vocal critic of the government’s response to Hurricane Katrina and was the first member of Congress to file articles of impeachment against George W.

Bush. In 2008, Cynthia McKinney won the Green Party nomination for the US presidency. The former finance minister of Greece says people must work to save democracy from capitalism, otherwise the voracious economic system will completely devour the fragile political philosophy, he warned in a recent talk. I was in attendance at a conference in Beirut last year when it was reported that Syriza, the left-wing Greek party, originally founded in 2004, had just done the impossible—or at least what we all thought was impossible. I asked those around me, “What part of ‘n-o’ don’t they understand?” Read more His solution? Professors & Politicians Gather To Warn Us About The New World Order (NWO) “We are dealing with a criminal undertaking at a global level … and there is an ongoing war, it is led by the United States, it may be carried out by a number of proxy countries, which are obeying orders from Washington … The global war on terrorism is a US undertaking, which is fake, it’s based on fake premises.

It tells us that somehow America and the Western world are going after a fictitious enemy, the Islamic state, when in fact the Islamic state is fully supported and financed by the Western military alliance and America’s allies in the Persian Gulf. … They say Muslims are terrorists, but it just so happens that terrorists are Made in America. They’re not the product of Muslim society, and that should be abundantly clear to everyone on this floor. … The global war on terrorism is a fabrication, a big lie and a crime against humanity.” (source) (source) The quote above comes from prominent author and Canadian economist Dr. The conference featured numerous speakers, such as Dr. US Intelligence Officer: “Every Single Terrorist Attack In US Was A False Flag Attack”. By Arjun Walia for Collective Evolution. Apart from documents that have outlined supposed terrorist threats, like Al-Qaeda, and their connection to US intelligence agencies, like the CIA, there are a number of whistleblowers that have come out adding more fuel to the fire.

Because not many are even aware of these documents, letting people know about a truth that can be hard for people to accept, let alone ponder the possibility is very important. It’s just one aspect of the veil that’s been blinding the masses for quite some time now. The latest whistleblower is David Steele, a 20-year Marine Corps intelligence officer, and the second-highest-ranking civilian in the U.S. Marine Corps Intelligence. “Most terrorists are false flag terrorists, or are created by our own security services. What Is A “False Flag Attack?” “The truth is, there is no Islamic army or terrorist group called Al-Qaeda, and any informed intelligence officer knows this.

Not long ago, FBI whistleblower stated that: Aristocrats, tycoons and billionaires ... the people who really own Scotland - Sunday Post. One of the world’s youngest billionaires is on course to become Scotland’s biggest landowner. A major investigation by The Sunday Post has laid bare the 30 aristocrats, foreign tycoons and charities who own the largest chunks of the 19.5 million acres that make up the country. It found Danish retail magnate Anders Povlsen, 42, has increased his portfolio to more than 170,000 acres the equivalent of 265 square miles.

The acquisitions have seen the father-of-four, who is worth almost £4 billion, cement his place as the third-biggest private landowner in Scotland, behind charity the National Trust of Scotland and hereditary peer the Duke of Buccleuch. If he continues buying estates at the same pace he is likely to top the list within a decade. Incredibly, there is no definitive register to show who owns what in Scotland. Just 432 individuals like Povlsen own more than half of Scotland’s non-public land. “But the same isn’t true over our land.” High time for land to be divided up fairly. Researchers Predict That A “Mini Ice Age” Is Coming Very Soon. ***This has nothing to do with human impact on climate change, but more so the activity of the sun and how solar cycles impact our climate as well. It’s based on a mathematical model that shows the sun might “quiet” down in the coming years thus impacting our climate as well. This is not a climate change denial article, please read it before commenting.

A few months ago, NASA published a study showing that Antarctica is actually gaining more ice than it is losing. They made the announcement after using satellites to examine the heights of the region’s ice sheet. The findings contradict the prevailing theory that Antarctica has actually been shrinking, however.

The paper is titled “Mass gains of the Antarctic ice sheet exceed losses” and was published in the Journal of Glaciology. The authors of this study are from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, and the cause of this ice gain isn’t entirely known, but a number of theories are mentioned in the paper. Pilot Who Flew The Airplanes That Crashed On 9/11 Blows The Whistle. Capt. Russ Wittenberg is a unique individual in that he actually flew two of the planes that were “hijacked” on 911.

Flight “lets roll” 93 and flight 175, the plane that hit the south tower. This is what he has to say about 911: Former U.S. Video interview 9/11 Ripple Effect 8/07: “I flew the two actual aircraft which were involved in 9/11; the Fight number 175 and Flight 93, the 757 that allegedly went down in Shanksville and Flight 175 is the aircraft that’s alleged to have hit the South Tower. “I flew the two actual aircraft which were involved in 9/11; the Fight number 175 and Flight 93, the 757 that allegedly went down in Shanksville and Flight 175 is the aircraft that’s alleged to have hit the South Tower.

“The airplane could not have flown at those speeds which they said it did without going into what they call a high speed stall. We do not offer theory or point blame.

Sometimes the water is calm, and sometimes it is overwhelming. All we can do is learn to swim.” ~Vicki Harrison Most grief books are written to help you mourn the death of a loved one and learn how to deal with their absence in this world.

Death is probably the most challenging thing a human can face. Losing someone we love is hard. It’s an unfair misconception to think that those who have a hard time letting go or are taking longer than usual time to move on are somewhat weak. Psychology agrees that when a major relationship or marriage ends, the person who was left may feel grief as painfully as someone who lost a loved one to death.

Divorces and break-ups can sometimes be worse than death, because the person who died to us is very much alive, haunting our every thought. I remember how lost I felt right after Mr. I felt as if he had died. I wondered how he would turn out without his father in his life. I felt humiliated. What if the story of life on Earth isn't what you think it is? | Science. The scientific story of life on Earth, as told in palaeontology books for children, museum displays, documentaries and even on university courses is always the same.

It begins with the creation of the universe, then the Earth, represented more often than not by exploding volcanoes. Microscopic single cells bob in the ocean, dividing and swelling, morphing into things with a noticeable front end and a back end. Skip forward a couple of billion years, and emblematic fossils, the trilobites, are scuttling around the ocean floor. Chances are that ammonites are floating around too. Then we get to the more familiar beats: the story proper finally starts. Sometimes the man is wearing a loincloth and carrying a spear. The story of life on Earth is familiar enough to often be riffed on. Is this well-told story, the “objective” telling of evolution of life on Earth, a true telling of geological history? Birds would be understandably miffed. Can We Go to the Very Root of Violence and Be Free from It?

By J. Krishnamurti / jkrishnamurti.org FEAR, PLEASURE, SORROW, thought and violence are all interrelated. Most of us take pleasure in violence, in disliking somebody, hating a particular race or group of people, having antagonistic feelings towards others. But in a state of mind in which all violence has come to an end there is a joy which is very different from the pleasure of violence with its conflicts, hatreds and fears. Can we go to the very root of violence and be free from it?

So let us consider together, those of us who can communicate, whether it is at all possible totally to end every form of violence in ourselves and still live in this monstrously brutal world. If we know how to look at violence, not only outwardly in society - the wars, the riots, the national antagonisms and class conflicts - but also in ourselves, then perhaps we shall be able to go beyond it. Here is a very complex problem. Is this problem of violence out there or here?

Journalist who returned from Islamic State HQ tells RT how jihadists can be defeated. RT spoke to Jurgen Todenhofer, the first Western journalist who was allowed to enter territory controlled by the so-called Islamic State. A year ago, he spent 10 days among the terrorists, also visiting Raqqa, the capital of the self-proclaimed caliphate. To arrange the journey, Todenhofer held Skype discussions with Islamic State (formerly ISIS/ISIL) for six months before they agreed to his visit.

Finally, the jihadists gave him official guarantee safety. “It was in their interest to fulfill their promises that I would come back alive – and I came back alive,” he said. After spending several days with ISIS militants, having long discussions with them and observing their daily life, the German journalist said: “They don’t care if we call them terrorists.”

There are not too many women on the streets of Raqqa, and those few are completely covered with a veil. Let's Not Get It Wrong This Time: The Terrorists Won After 9/11 Because We Chose to Invade Iraq and Shred Our Constitution. By Bret Weinstein / commondreams.org What is terrorism? Many are convinced that the word is inherently so vague as to be meaningless. I have never understood this. To me the definition seems singular, and obvious, and it would appear that simply understanding it is the key to avoiding terrible missteps in the aftermath of an attack like the one in Paris. Terrorism is a tactic in which the primary objective is to produce fear, rather than direct harm. The 9/11 perpetrators killed about 3,000 people, and did about $13 billion in physical damage to the United States.

You may find that analogy suspect because bee stings are deadly to those with an allergy. The 9/11 attack was symbolic. The return on the terrorists’ investment was spectacular. The lesson, of course, is that above all else a nation should refuse to do what everyone will expect it to do in response to an attack. Terrorists do not engage in terror attacks because they are strong. This time, let’s not. The Paris Attacks: What You Really Need to Know.

In the late hours of Friday the 13th, 2015, a half a dozen locations in Paris have suffered a series of coordinated attacks by the Islamic State (IS), as recently disclosed in a statement by these radical extremists. Reports are that 129 people have been killed, with over 300 who have been injured. Eight “terrorists” have also been allegedly killed in action, most of which were suicide bombers. The majority of the deaths occurred at the Bataclan concert hall in the city’s East, which was a packed gig by the band “Eagles of Death Metal”. The band escaped unharmed before a ten minute massacre ensued; this was reported to be led by men wielding AK47s and explosive devices. There were also tens of people killed in separate orchestrations across the city, including bombs set off at a sports stadium and bar, as well as a shootout at a restaurant. All up it is reported that six locations were targeted which purposely terrorized the mind-state of France, as well as the rest of the world.

Narendra Modi: the divisive manipulator who charmed the world. In 2005, when Narendra Modi was the chief minister of the wealthy Indian state of Gujarat, local police murdered a criminal called Sheikh Sohrabuddin in cold blood. At an election rally in 2007 for the ruling Hindu nationalist BJP, Modi assured his citizens that Sohrabuddin “got what he deserved”. What should be done, he asked, to a man found possessing illegal arms? The pumped-up crowd shouted back: “Mari nakho-mari nakho!” (Kill him, kill him!) The lynch mob’s cry was repeated in a village near Delhi last month as zealots beat to death a Muslim farmer they suspected – wrongly – of keeping beef in his house. While Modi makes a triumphant visit to the UK after more than a year as India’s prime minister, the Hindu supremacists are, as the novelist Mukul Kesavan wrote last month, in “full hunting mode, head up and howling”. On the day of Modi’s election last May, I wrote in the Guardian that India was entering its most sinister phase since independence.

Greek soldiers refuse to confront refugees (statement); call to mutiny? | UndercoverInfo. Greek police attack refugees on Kos The following inspirational statement deserves the widest possible circulation. It is from Greek conscripts in 50 units of the Armed Forces. The statement is notable for linking all the current horrors inflicted on workers everywhere to a single cause – the ongoing crisis of the capitalist system. In this crisis, which demands sacrifices in lost and ruined lives, all workers, whatever their condition, have a common cause and a common interest.

The document comes from “Diktyo Spartakos” (‘Spartacus Net’), which is a far leftist formation inside the Greek army, mainly composed of the New Left Current (NAP) but it has a broader impact among far leftists and anarchists. These conscripts have clearly had enough of all the dirty deeds (1) demanded of them. (Note: this article is a slightly edited version of an article first published in The Internationalist.)

World When we look at aerial footages of the Amazon Rainforest, we see thick canopy of green foliage, creating the impression that the rainforest is a natural paradise with an endless supply of food. Appearance indeed can be deceptive. And like all things, the surface is often deceiving. The Amazon Forest is a very good example of these proverbial sayings.

In 1971, the American Anthropologist, Betty J. For decades, scientists have thought that the high acidity of the river basin soil in the Amazon made for incredibly poor growing conditions. However, another American Anthropologist, Anna Roosevelt claimed in 1991 that over 1,000 years, an estimated 100,000 people lived in the Brazilian Amazon at any given time. According to the Plaid Zebra, anthropologists now believe that the Amazon civilizations could have had as many as 100,000 people at any given time.
