Chapter 9 – The Vatican Rules the World | Michael Toups The Vatican Rules the World: The Rothschild Connection For anyone not to believe that this 2,000 year old body with vast holdings in gold, art, real estate, multinational corporations and most importantly, knowledge, is not the most powerful institution in the world, cannot be thinking straight. The following article sheds light on the power of the Vatican, and the influential rankings of the Rothschild family and the Windsor queen. You should be aware that the current head of the Rothschild dynasty is Baron David Rene James de Rothschild. Ironically coined by the Romans, the phrase “All roads lead to Rome”. They are and were all funded, controlled and implemented by the ruling Rothschild elite via the Vatican. The Pope and the Vatican, not wanting to appear to get there hands dirty with money, they hired the House of Rothschild, to handle their finances, who in turn hired the Rockerfellers to take over the Americas, and so it goes on and on. All Roads Lead to Rothschild Knights of Malta

Where the Five-Day Workweek Came From “Seven days,” wrote Witold Rybczynski in the August 1991 issue of The Atlantic, “is not natural because no natural phenomenon occurs every seven days.” The year marks one revolution of the Earth around the sun. Months, supposedly, mark the time between full moons. The seven-day week, however, is completely man-made. If it’s man-made, can’t man unmake it? For all the talk of how freeing it’d be to shave a day or two off the five-day workweek, little attention has been paid to where the weekly calendar came from. The roots of the seven-day week can be traced back about 4,000 years, to Babylon. The earliest recorded use of the word “weekend,” Rybczynski notes, occurred in 1879 in an English magazine called Notes and Queries: In Staffordshire, if a person leaves home at the end of his week’s work on the Saturday afternoon to spend the evening of Saturday and the following Sunday with friends at a distance, he is said to be spending his week-end at So-and-so.
Watch Free Documentaries Online The Industries Plagued by the Most Uncertainty It’s a cliché to say that the world is more uncertain than ever before, but few realize just how much uncertainty has increased over the past 50 years. To illustrate this, consider that patent applications in the U.S. have increased by 6x (from 100k to 600k annually) and, worldwide, start-ups have increased from 10 million to almost 100 million per year. That means new technologies and new competitors are hitting the market at an unprecedented rate. Although uncertainty is accelerating, it isn’t affecting all industries the same way. That’s because there are two primary types of uncertainty — demand uncertainty (will customers buy your product?) Demand uncertainty arises from the unknowns associated with solving any problem, such as hidden customer preferences. Technological uncertainty results from unknowns regarding the technologies that might emerge or be combined to create a new solution. Consider the 2×2 matrix below. The table below ranks industries into the top 10 and bottom 10.
Hundreds of mental health experts issue rallying call against austerity | Society Austerity cuts are having a “profoundly disturbing” impact on people’s psychological wellbeing and the emotional state of the nation, hundreds of counsellors, psychotherapists and mental health experts have said in a letter to the Guardian. They said an “intimidatory disciplinary regime” facing benefits claimants would be made worse by further “unacceptable” proposals outlined in the budget. These amounted to state “get to work” therapy and were both damaging and professionally unethical, they said. Increasing inequality and poverty, families being moved out of their homes and new systems determining benefit levels were part of “a wider reality of a society thrown completely off balance by the emotional toxicity of neoliberal thinking”, according to more than 400 signatories to the letter. The consequences were “most visible in the therapist’s consulting room”. Labour first introduced work capability assessments but the coalition introduced a much more stringent regime.
Economic growth doesn't create jobs, it destroys them | Guardian Sustainable Business After so many years of being told the same thing, it is barely surprising that we believe it. Economic growth is good, we are told, and essential to all we do. Growth creates work. Work creates wealth. Wealth closes the gap between rich and poor. Once we have a stronger economy, the economists say, we can tackle our environmental problems. The only trouble is, this is all wrong. 1. The way the current economic system is designed, it does the opposite. Before the 1980s this didn’t matter much, because many new manufacturing businesses were established to soak up a rising working population. In the last 35 years, the world has experienced the fastest economic growth in human history. 2. Because the system is designed to reward those who already have money and assets, the free market economic model takes wealth from the poor and gives it to the rich. The coming wave of new technology will make these problems worse. 3. Economic growth is the cause of them. Moving forward
In Italia in 10 anni le rinnovabili non programmabili fino al 90% della domanda oraria Quasi tutta la nuova potenza che si installerà da qui al 2025 in Europa verrà da fotovoltaico ed eolico, in crescita rispettivamente del 60 e 80%. Lo prevede Entso-E, l'associazione europea degli operatori di rete. In calo fossili e nucleare. Le rinnovabili non programmabili in 8 Stati saranno in grado di coprire fino al 100% del carico orario. In Italia fino al 90%. Gli operatori delle reti europee vedono un futuro prossimo con una sempre maggiore penetrazione delle energie rinnovabili, che impone di rendere i sistemi elettrici più interconnessi e flessibili. È quanto emerge dall'edizione 2015 dello "Scenario Outlook & Adequacy Forecast" dell'associazione degli operatori dei sistemi di trasporto elettrico europeo, Entso-E (allegato in basso). Un outlook basato su una domanda prevista in crescita dello 0,8% l'anno nel periodo considerato grazie ad una graduale elettrificazione dei settori riscaldamento e trasporti e alla ipotizzata ripresa economica.

Sacred Economics | Charles Eisenstein | Money, Gift and Society in the Age of Transition. The end of capitalism has begun The red flags and marching songs of Syriza during the Greek crisis, plus the expectation that the banks would be nationalised, revived briefly a 20th-century dream: the forced destruction of the market from above. For much of the 20th century this was how the left conceived the first stage of an economy beyond capitalism. The force would be applied by the working class, either at the ballot box or on the barricades. The lever would be the state. The opportunity would come through frequent episodes of economic collapse. Instead over the past 25 years it has been the left’s project that has collapsed. If you lived through all this, and disliked capitalism, it was traumatic. As with the end of feudalism 500 years ago, capitalism’s replacement by postcapitalism will be accelerated by external shocks and shaped by the emergence of a new kind of human being. Postcapitalism is possible because of three major changes information technology has brought about in the past 25 years.
