THE MK-ULTRA FILES - iDISCLOSE PROJECT - DOSSIER 1 - WHITNEY HOUSTON - RATED ADEPT As the case of Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston has become more valuable to the ILLUMINATI dead than alive. It has been widely reported this evening on Saturday, February 11, 2012 that at 48 years old, our Beautiful Black Songbird Whitney Houston is Dead as reported by publicist Kristen Foster. As of the the time this evening, it has not been reported when, where, how or why she died, and I hope that it is untrue and false. Already, the press is spreading a widespread illusion and image that her biggest DEVIL was herself. “During the 1960s, the era covered in The Help, legal segregation and economic inequalities limited black women’s employment opportunities.

25 Things Writers Should Stop Doing I read this cool article last week — “30 Things To Stop Doing To Yourself” — and I thought, hey, heeeey, that’s interesting. Writers might could use their own version of that. So, I started to cobble one together. And, of course, as most of these writing-related posts become, it ended up that for the most part I’m sitting here in the blog yelling at myself first and foremost. That is, then, how you should read this: me, yelling at me. If you take away something from it, though? Then go forth and kick your writing year in the teeth. Onto the list. 1. Right here is your story. 2. Momentum is everything. 3. You have a voice. 4. Worry is some useless shit. 5. The rise of self-publishing has seen a comparative surge forward in quantity. 6. I said “stop hurrying,” not “stand still and fall asleep.” 7. It’s not going to get any easier, and why should it? 8. 9. The mind is the writer’s best weapon. 10. 11. 12. Writers are often ashamed at who they are and what they do. 13. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 14.

Author's Craft - Introduction Just as a woodworker uses many tools and techniques to craft a piece of furniture, a skilled author uses tools and techniques of language and storytelling to craft a piece of writing. We have organized author's craft into two categories, Narrative Elements and Literary Devices. We use the term Narrative Elements to describe aspects of storytelling. The term Literary Devices refers to specific tools of language that can appear in any genre of writing. Our Narrative Elements are setting, foreshadowing, and characterization. Our Literary Devices are alliteration, personification, simile, metaphor, allusion, irony, and parallel structure. If you want to learn more about the aspects of author's craft that we have not emphasized in this project, try doing some research online.

Magicology: How Magicians Control Your Mind Magicology: How Magicians Control Your Mind Over the past couple of years, neuroscientists and magicians have been getting together to create a science that might be called "magicology". By Devin Powerll / Source: New Scientist Professional pickpocket Apollo Robbins has an uncanny ability to control minds. Watching Robbins at work is like watching somebody with supernatural powers. After years of ignoring magic, researchers are starting to realise that the methods magicians use to manipulate the human mind might hold important insights into how it works. "We're all thinking about the same questions," says Christof Koch, a neuroscientist at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. Magic is all about appearing to break the laws of nature - making solid objects appear or disappear, sawing human beings in half, reading people's minds, and so on. By plundering the magicians' book of tricks, researchers hope to develop powerful new tools for probing perception and cognition.

Lessons learned in a writing journey Author Michael Smart (see my chat with Michael here) has a pet peeve about using too many words when fewer would do. If you haven’t read his riveting Bequia Mysteries, set in the unusual locale of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, you’re missing out. Michael published “Kill These Words! Lessons learned in a writing journey… The use of weak verbs, plentiful adverbs, and unimaginative words, is a malady I encounter with increasing frequency among many indie-published authors.

Storatarot2 Famous Novelists on Symbolism in Their Work and Whether It Was Intentional Eric Carle's bright, beloved children's classic about an insatiable caterpillar has been collecting awards—and fans—since it was first published in 1969. Here are a few things you might not know about The Very Hungry Caterpillar. 1. The Very Hungry Caterpillar's bright colors contrast a dark period in Eric Carle's childhood. Eric Carle was born in Syracuse, New York, on June 25, 1929. The author has since speculated that he was drawn to the chunky, vibrant colors of painted tissue paper collage in part as reaction to the grimness of his childhood. 2. Herr Kraus, Carle’s high school art teacher, recognized his young pupil’s potential and risked his livelihood for the opportunity to foster it. "I didn't have the slightest idea that something like that existed, because I was used to art being flag-waving, gun-toting Aryans—super-realistic Aryan farmers, the women with their brute arms,” Carle said. 3. The war didn't exactly endear Carle to Europe, and he longed to return to America. 4. 5.

Science and the Scriptures Chapter 11 Science and the Scriptures While scores of theological scholars have been studying the literal meaning of biblical phrases and the historical facts mentioned therein, leading to an endless stream of interpretations, scientists have studied the scriptures and discovered scientific hidden meaning within them. Along with our rapid scientific evolution, our understanding of ancient scriptures such as the Vedas and the Upanishads is growing. Fascinating facts about the Bible have surfaced that are often dismissed or ignored by the Roman Catholic Church because these findings do not fit in with their established dogmas. However unlike theological discussions, scientific facts can neither be ignored nor can they be debated, they can either be proven right or wrong, there is no in between. The Book Genesis Maybe one of the least understood books of the ancient past is the book Genesis, the first book of the Holy Bible. Flame letter in the tent and the first verse of Genesis. Gematria
