Israeli siege on Gaza hurts people, strangles economy: UN
Jun 28, 2016
United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has condemned the Israeli blockade on the Gaza Strip, saying the siege inflicts pain on people and damages the economy of the Palestinian coastal enclave.
Ban made the criticism on Tuesday during his trip to Gaza in a press conference at the al-Zaytoun school run by the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA).
Tel Aviv’s blockade of Gaza “suffocates its people, stifles its economy, and impedes construction,” he said, warning that the siege fuels tensions between the Palestinians and Israelis.
The UN chief further highlighted the UN support for the people of Gaza, saying that the world body “will always be with you.”
The Gaza Strip has been under an Israeli siege since June 2007. The blockade has caused a decline in the standards of living as well as unprecedented levels of unemployment and unrelenting poverty.
Meanwhile, UNRWA Commissioner-General Pierre Krahenbuhl, who accompanied Ban in his trip to Gaza, stressed that the visit “comes at a time of deep despair in Gaza,” calling on the world community “to pay far more attention” to the situation in the blockaded coastal sliver.
The pair are expected to visit a UN-run center for reconstruction works in the Gaza Strip.
Ban is also scheduled to speak at a news conference in the Tel al-Hawa neighborhood of Gaza City and meet with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in the West bank city of Ramallah.

Israel has waged three wars on Gaza since 2008, including the 2014 offensive, which left more than 2,200 Palestinians dead and over 11,100 others injured.
Ban had visited the Gaza Strip in late 2014 in the wake of the deadly Israeli onslaught.
In a relevant development on Tuesday, a senior official of the resistance movement of Hamas and deputy speaker of the Palestinian parliament released a statement, urging Ban and the UN to “work seriously” towards ending the decade-long siege imposed on Gaza.
Ahmad Bahar criticized Ban's visit as “part of the ongoing efforts to resume negotiations to reach a compromise that serves occupation and to contain the Al-Aqsa Intifada.”
The UN has “remained silent towards the Gaza siege crime for ten years” by trying to “treat the victim and the executioner evenly,” he added.
The occupied territories have also witnessed heightened tensions since August 2015, when Israel imposed restrictions on the entry of Palestinian worshipers into the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in East al-Quds (Jerusalem) in an alleged bid to change the status quo of the holy Muslim site.
Nearly 220 Palestinians have lost their lives at the hands of Israeli forces in what is regarded as the third Palestinian Intifada (uprising) since the beginning of last October.

PM's 'very clear' message to Swamy: Publicity stunts won't benefit nation
'Nobody's Bigger Than System'
PM Narendra Modi has sent a direct message of disapproval to Rajya Sabha MP Subramanian Swamy over the MP's attacks on RBI governor Raghuram Rajan and senior finance mini stry officials questioning their loyalty to India's interests, saying such comments were inappropriate and that Rajan's patriotism is beyond doubt. In an interview to Times Now editor Arnab Goswami, the PM said: “Whether it is someone from my party or not, I believe that such things (Swamy's remarks) are inappropriate. The nation won't benefit from such publicity stunts. People should be more responsible while conducting themselves. Anyone who believes he is bigger than the system is wrong.“ Asked that this seemed to be a clear message, the PM said, “I have a very clear message. I have no two minds about it. “Swamy's attacks on chief economic adviser Arvind Subramanian and economic affairs secretary Shaktikanta Das were seen to be aimed at finance minister Arun Jaitley, who said the attacks were unfair and false. Modi's sharp put-down signals his view that Swamy overstepped his limits and the MP's free-flowing commentary on Rajan, Jaitley and officials does not have the backing of the BJP leadership .
Modi's remarks are significant as this is the first time he has so emphatically expressed his displeasure over Swamy's controversial references.
Defending Rajan, but on ly after he quit, the PM strongly countered Swamy's allegation that the RBI governor was not “fully Indian“, saying “I believe Raghuram Rajan's patriotism is no less than any of ours. It will be doing injustice to him if one says that he will serve the country only if he is at a particular post...Those who speak such language are doing great injustice to him.“
The PM also made detailed and significant references to Pakistan when asked about what will be the “Lakshman Rekha“ when dealing with the neighbour. “The first thing is that with Pakistan, to whom do we talk to decide about the 'Lakshman Rekha'. Will it be with the elected government or with other actors?
That is why India will have to be on alert all the time.“
“But the government only engages with a democratically elected system. Our effort for that engagement is continuing. Our supreme objective is peace,“ he said.

Breaking: FBI Will Make A HUGE Move Against Hillary Rodham Clinton
This is bombshell announcement! Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-TX) shared damning news for Hillary Clinton on The Steve Malzberg Show :
The FBI is ready to indict Hillary Clinton and if its recommendation isn’t followed by the U.S. attorney general, the agency’s investigators plan to blow the whistle and go public with their findings, former U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay tells Newsmax TV.
“I have friends that are in the FBI and they tell me they’re ready to indict,” DeLay said Monday on “The Steve Malzberg Show.”
“They’re ready to recommend an indictment and they also say that if the attorney general does not indict, they’re going public.”
Clinton is under FBI investigation for her use of a private server to conduct confidential government business while she was secretary of state. But some Republicans fear any FBI recommendation that hurts Clinton will be squashed by the Obama administration.
DeLay, a Texas Republican and Washington Times radio host, said:
“One way or another either she’s going to be indicted and that process begins, or we try her in the public eye with her campaign. One way or another she’s going to have to face these charges.”
Team Hillary is already admitting this will likely happen. Amazingly, the Clinton campaign has been busy accusing Obama’s intelligence Inspector General, Charles McCullough, of coordinating releases of information to help Republicans. (!) McCullough’s investigations found Clinton was sharing documents which were “beyond top secret”… a crime that should not only disqualify Hillary Clinton from the White House, but should carry a lengthy prison sentence!
Here is Tom DeLay sharing the major news:
The vaccine matrix: covert birth control, female sterility
“Part of the vaccine covert op involves turning humans into social constructs who can only think, in the most shallow terms, about ‘protecting the group’. Such people would lose any semblance of individuality, as well as the ability to analyze vaccines and understand what harm they do.” (The Underground, Jon Rappoport)
In the vaccine research community, it’s an open secret that the Rockefeller Fund, the UN, and other groups have been backing the development of vaccines that function as agents of population control. This work has been going on for decades.
We’re talking about inducing female sterility.
Through which vaccine? Tetanus, for example, which is given with the diphtheria and pertussis vaccines in a one-shot combination.
The combination has a number of names (and the contents of the vaccines may vary to some degree): DPT, DTP, DTwP, DTaP, Tdap. Tdap is the version currently recommended by the Centers for Disease Control.
Note: The recently mandated vaccine bill (SB277) passed in California lists the tetanus vaccine on its schedule of shots that must be given to every public and private school child.
Here, from BBC News (13/10/2014) is a bland denial that there is a serious problem with the tetanus vaccine. “Kenya Catholic Church tetanus fears ‘unfounded’”:
“Kenya’s government has dismissed allegations made by the country’s Catholic Church that a tetanus vaccine can cause sterility in women.”
“‘It’s a safe certified vaccine,’ Health Minister James Macharia told the BBC.”
On the other hand—“‘The [health] ministry must stop making noise and allow the Church to sample the vaccines before they are given,’ Dr Stephen Karanja, the chair of the Catholic Doctors Association in Kenya, told the BBC. He said tetanus vaccines tested earlier in the year contained an antigen – an agent that triggers antibody production by the body’s immune system – which could cause sterility in women.”
“But Mr Macharia [Health Minister] said the vaccine had been approved by the World Health Organization and Unicef.”
Let’s dig a little deeper. In fact, a lot deeper.
Here is a blockbuster article published at lifesitenews, a month after the BBC article posted above. Written by Steve Weatherbe, it reveals, among other things, that the Kenyan government and a teacher’s union were taking the Catholic Doctors Association charges very seriously. The headline reads: “Kenyan gymt [government] launches probe into claim UN is using vaccines for ‘mass sterilization’”:
“The health committee of Kenya’s National Assembly has ordered an independent inquiry into the Catholic Church’s claims that a national anti-tetanus vaccination campaign is covering for a sterilization scheme aimed at suppressing the country’s population.
“The news comes as health ministry officials have called for professional discipline against Dr. Stephen Karanja, head of Kenyan Catholic Doctors Association, who raised the alarm about the vaccine.
“At the same time, a teacher’s union has called for a boycott of the vaccination campaign until Catholic claims are disproven.
“The Health Ministry, which is conducting the five-injection, two-year vaccination project on female Kenyans aged 14-49, and the vaccine’s supplier, the World Health Organization, deny the claims of the Church, which has called all along for an independent inquiry.
“Robert Pukose, the government MP who is vice-chairman of the National Assembly’s health committee, explained, ‘We are at loss about who to believe since both sides have tabled [submitted] conflicting results. That is why we need new tests conducted jointly for us to give final and conclusive results,’ according to the Nairobi Standard.
“The inquiry will consist of submitting vaccine samples to a committee of Catholic, government, and independent medical experts. What they will be looking for are traces of HCG, a female hormone produced during pregnancy, which if injected along with traces of tetanus, will produce antibodies. And just as these antibodies will react to a real tetanus infection, so will they react to a pregnancy, causing a miscarriage.
“The Health Ministry submitted its test results on the tetanus vaccine to the committee last week, showing no trace of HCG.
“This week the Catholic bishops’ doctors presented their own test results, all of which showed traces of HCG. Karanja told the committee, ‘The hormone, Beta HCG, is neither a byproduct of, nor a component required for, the manufacture of the tetanus vaccine. It being part of the vaccine is nothing short of a scheme to forcefully render our women incapable of bearing children.’
“The Health Ministry’s Immunization Technical Group, Dr. Collins Tabu, challenged the validity of the Catholic doctors’ test results, asking, ‘Were the samples sent to the labs indeed vaccines? Were they sent in their primary containers and what was the condition of storage? What types of tests were run on them?’
“Unless the tests were done at either of two specialized government labs, they could not be valid, he added.
“But the Kenyan Catholic doctors have told LifeSiteNews via email that the government won’t let anyone get samples of the vaccine for tests—the ones used had to be obtained surreptitiously by devout Catholics. All along the doctors wanted to conduct tests jointly with the government but could not get co-operation.
“Dr. Karanja also told the committee the tests were simple and could be conducted at any lab. Dr. Pukose further undermined Tabu’s argument, noting that both the Health Ministry and the Catholics had submitted results from the Lancet Kenya lab—with contradictory findings.
“Meanwhile Akello Misori, secretary general of the Kenya Union of Post Primary Education (Kuppet), advised women to avoid the tetanus shots…
“One big reason for the Church’s concern is that the vaccines are provided by the World Health Organization and UNICEF, two United Nations organizations with a documented involvement in developing a sterilization vaccine using the HCG hormone as an antigen.
“Karanja’s colleague Dr. Wahome Ngare told LifeSiteNews, ‘WHO conducted massive vaccinations campaigns using the tetanus vaccine laced with HCG in Mexico in 1993 and Nicaragua and Philippines in 1994.’ The opposition of the Catholic Church stopped those drives. [emphasis added]
“’What is downright immoral and evil,’ said Ngare, ‘is that the tetanus laced with HCG was given as a fertility-regulating vaccine without disclosing its contraceptive effect to the girls and the mothers. As far as they were concerned, they had gone for an innocent injection to prevent neonatal tetanus.’
“…The [Kenya] National Assembly’s Dr. Pukose issued a stern warning after announcing the joint investigation, saying, ‘Those found to have been misleading Kenyans, whether it is the experts advising the Catholic Church or the Ministry of Health, will be held individually accountable. Playing with the safety and health of Kenyans is a criminal matter.’”
I have made inquiries about the final disposition of the Kenyan government inquiry, and so far I’ve received no answers. It’s possible that the government has left the matter unresolved.
Here is additional background on attempts to develop a vaccine that would cause pregnant women to miscarry.
An astonishing journal paper. November, 1993. FASEB Journal, volume 7, pp.1381-1385. Authors—Stephan Dirnhofer et al. Dirnhofer was a member of the Institute for Biomedical Aging Research of the Austrian Academy of Sciences.
A quote from the paper:
“Our study provides insights into possible modes of action of the birth control vaccine promoted by the Task Force on Birth Control Vaccines of the WHO (World Health Organization).”
A birth control vaccine?
Yes.
A vaccine whose purpose is to achieve miscarriages. This particular vaccine was apparently just one of several anti-fertility vaccines the Task Force was promoting.
Yes. There is a Task Force on Birth Control Vaccines at WHO. This journal paper focuses on a hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin B (hCG). There is a heading in the FASEB paper (p.1382) called “Ability of antibodies to neutralize the biological activity of hCG.” The authors are trying to discover whether a state of non-fertility can be achieved by blocking the normal activity of hCG.
Another journal paper. The British Medical Bulletin, volume 49, 1993. “Contraceptive Vaccines.” The authors—RJ Aitken et al. From the MRC Reproductive Biology Unit, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, UK.
“Three major approaches to contraceptive vaccine development are being pursued at the present time. The most advanced approach, which has already reached the stage of phase 2 clinical trials, involves the induction of immunity against human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG). Vaccines are being engineered … incorporating tetanus or diptheria toxoid linked to a variety of hCG-based peptides … Clinical trials have revealed that such preparations are capable of stimulating the production of anti-hCG antibodies…” [emphasis added]
The authors are talking about creating an immune response against a female hormone. Training a woman’s body to react against one of its own secreted hormones. The authors state, “The fundamental principle behind this approach to contraceptive vaccine development is to prevent the maternal recognition of pregnancy by inducing a state of immunity against hGC, the hormone that signals the presence of the embryo to the maternal endocrine system.”
Stop the female body from recognizing a state of pregnancy. Get the body to treat the natural hormone hCG as an intruder, a disease agent, and mobilize the forces of the immune system against it. Create a synthetic effect, an engineered effect, by which the mother’s “maternal endocrine system” does not swing into gear when pregnancy occurs. The result? The embryo in the mother is swept away by her next period—since hGC, which signals the existence of the pregnancy and halts menstruation cycles, is now treated as a disease entity.
The authors put it this way: “In principle, the induction of immunity against hGC should lead to a sequence of normal, or slightly extended, menstrual cycles during which any pregnancies would be terminated…”
Miscarriage would then be the “normal” state of affairs. These authors leave no doubt about who the target of this vaccine would be:
“During the next decade the world’s population is set to rise by around 500 million. Moreover, because the rates of population growth in the developing countries of Africa, South America, and Asia will be so much greater than the rest of the world, the distribution of this dramatic population growth will be uneven…”
Two other vaccine methods are described. They “aim to prevent conception by interfering with the intricate cascade of interactive events that characterize the union of male and female gametes at fertilization.”
The diphtheria and tetanus vaccines would function as a social and political mask—to hide the sterilizing intent, as millions of women in the Third World would receive vaccines they’re told would protect them against infections and disease.
A letter to a medical journal, The Lancet, p.1222, Volume 339, May 16, 1992. “Cameroon: Vaccination and politics.” Peter Ndumbe and Emmanuel Yenshu, the authors of this letter, report on their efforts to analyze widespread popular resistance to a tetanus vaccine given in the northwest province of Cameroon.
Two of the reasons women rejected the vaccine: it was given only to “females of childbearing age,” and people heard that a “sterilizing agent” was present in the vaccine.
The late well-known journalist, Alexander Cockburn, on the op ed page of the LA Times on September 8, 1994, in his piece “Real U.S. Policy in Third World: Sterilization : Disregard the ’empowerment’ shoe polish—the goal is to keep the natives from breeding,”reviewed the infamous Kissinger-commissioned 1974 National Security Study Memorandum 200, “which addressed population issues.”
“… the true concern of Kissinger analysts [in Memorandum 200] was maintenance of US access to Third World resources. They worried that the ‘political consequences’ of population growth [in the Third World] could produce internal instability … With famine and food riots and the breakdown of social order in such countries, [the Kissinger memo warns that] ‘the smooth flow of needed materials will be jeopardized.’”
In other words, too many people equals disruption for the transnational corporations, who steal nations from those very people. Therefore, reduce the population.
Therefore, develop a vaccine that does that job.

Indian Ocean Tsunami - Why Did The Information Not Get Out?
One of the most destructive and powerful earthquakes in recorded history, more than a quarter of a million recorded deaths, local economies destroyed, the lives of entire communities shattered, and no serious investigation into the flaws of the global seismic warning system is contemplated.
According to Columbia University’s Earth Institute the M-9.0 Sumatra – Andaman Island earthquake on December 26th released energy, equivalent roughly to 700 million Hiroshima bombs.
Seismic information regarding what scientists identify as a “rare great earthquake”, was available in near real time (i.e. almost immediately) to seismic centers around the World.
Other types of data, including satellite imagery were also available in near real time.
The advanced global seismic information and communications systems were fully operational.
Why then, did the information not get out on the morning of December 26th?
Ten of thousands of lives could have been saved.
The issue has been skirted by the Western media, sidestepped by the governments and the UN, not to mention the international scientific community.
The blame was casually placed on the Indian Ocean countries, described as having “inadequate communications systems”, not to mention the local people who “have to be trained to know what to do…If the people don’t respond, don’t understand what the communication is all about, it is for naught.” (Washington Times, 30Dec 2004)
What Happened on the Morning of December 26th?
The tsunami was triggered within minutes of the earthquake, prior to the release of the first tsunami advisory bulletin by the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center (PTWC) in Hawaii, so it was no longer a question of emitting “a warning” of an imminent danger. The catastrophe had already happened.
In other words, by the time the first tsunami bulletin had been issued at 01.14 GMT, the deadly seismic wave was already sweeping Banda, the capital of Aceh province in Northern Sumatra, causing thousands of deaths.
Moreover, this ex post facto bulletin emitted by the PTWC, not only failed to acknowledge an ongoing disaster, it did not even warn of the potential danger of a tsunami, when the deadly seismic wave had already started, devastating densely populated areas. (PTWC bulletins apply to the Pacific as well as regions adjacent to the Pacific. For details, see:Discrepancies in the Tsunami Warning System )
Inconsistencies in the Tsunami Bulletins
Three days earlier, on the 23d of December, a M-7.9 earthquake was recorded with an epicenter off the South Pacific MacQuarie islands The PTWC issued the following routine tsunami advisory:
“THIS EARTHQUAKE HAS THE POTENTIAL TO GENERATE A WIDELY DESTRUCTIVE TSUNAMI IN THE SEA NEAR THE EARTHQUAKE. AUTHORITIES IN THAT REGION SHOULD BE AWARE OF THIS POSSIBILITY.”
Why then in the case of a M-9.0 earthquake, which is more than ten times greater in magnitude than a M-7.9 earthquake, did the PTWC authorities fail to even issue a tsunami warning?
An event of this type and magnitude is known as a “megathrust,” which in its specific Indian Ocean location is said to occur “approximately every few hundred years.” (See Columbia University Earth Institute ).
Scientists in fact suggested that the quake had unleashed enough energy that “it could have rocked the earth off its axis.” (See: Huge quake resonates, Carolyn Y. Johnson, Boston Globe)
In other words, the least one would have expected in the case of a “megathrust” was a similar routine statement to that issued in relation to the McQuarie islands earthquake, three days earlier, on December 23. (see:Discrepancies in the Tsunami Warning System )
The first bulletin emitted on the 26th not only failed to conform to established criteria used in previous and subsequent seismic occurrences, it casually dismissed an established and scientifically accepted relationship. According to
“If it were a 9 earthquake … with the thrusting in an ocean basin margin, the likelihood is almost 1:1 that it would generate a tsunami” (Dr. Charles Groat, Director, US Geological Survey in testimony to the Science Committee of the US House of Representatives, 26 Jan 2005).
The Earthquake took place at 00.58.50 GMT on the 26th of December. Roughly five minutes later it had hit the coast of Northern Sumatra, 11 minutes after the earthquake it devastated Banda, capital of Aceh. Fifteen minutes after the earthquake, at 01.14 GMT the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii confirmed in its bulletin:
“THERE IS NO TSUNAMI WARNING OR WATCH IN EFFECT”
Moreover, both official and news reports out of Aceh province, following the disaster, were either delayed or were not transmitted on time.
In other words, despite the dramatic nature of the quake, the seismic information, which was available in real time, failed to reach the countries affected by the seismic wave.
Why were the countries not informed of an impending disaster?
In the words of Maine Senator Olympia Snowe:
“… what efforts, if any, were made to contact those other nations in the region that were also in harm’s way? If NOAA did not have the appropriate contacts, as has been reported, why was this the case? Was an attempt made to obtain that contact information – and if not, why not? These are questions that must be answered.”
The Western media not only failed to address the failures in the warning system, they admonished those who raised the issue.
In fact, any serious analysis of the warning system was dismissed outright.
A few press reports, nonetheless, confirmed that, with the exception of Indonesia and Australia, the Indian Ocean countries had not been informed. These same reports, largely based on statements of the Pacific Tsunami Warning system (PTWC) in Hawaii, also acknowledged that the US State Department and the Military, including the US Navy base on the island of Diego Garcia in the Chagos Archipelago had been duly notified.
In retrospect, however, these earlier press reports (including our own analysis ) need to be qualified. Published in the immediate wake of the disaster, they quote official statements to the effect that the US government and military had been informed by the PTWC, when in fact the PTWC was on the “receiving end” of the flow of seismic data. (See Foreknowledge of a Natural Disaster , Richard Norton Taylor, US island base given warning: Bulletins sent to Diego Garcia ‘could have saved lives’, The Guardian, Jan 2005).
The Information was Known to an Entire Network of Organizations

If Universal Healthcare Can Be Implemented In Countries Like Thailand, Why Not India?
Award-winning novelist Dr Arun Gadre has made it his life's mission to combat unethical medical practices in India. He was in Hyderabad on Sunday to deliver a talk in the city as part of his ongoing campaign to revive the “endangered species of ethical doctors from the rot of commercialisation“.
Commenting about the state of affairs in the city, he says, “Hyderabad is no different from any other city . Here, doctors are just as corrupt and driven by the commission they get from corporate hospitals, rather than the well being of their patients. Ever since I began exposing malpractices, offers to work here stopped coming in. But as a city at the forefront of medicine, Hyderabad is at the crossroads to decide whether we're going to continue the commodification of medicine, or change it.“
But Dr. Arun decided to stand up against this commodification over two decades ago. As a young doctor, he came in with a fair amount of idealism and romantic perceptions about the field. “I went into practice along with my wife Jyothi in a tribal area across Adilabad, but had to leave because of financial troubles,“ recalls Arun, who went on to work as a private gynaecologist. “Initially, it was all fine, but gradually, I began to feel suffocated with the rampant malpractices. For example, I would normally charge only `6,000 for a C-section -the entire process, including medication -but others would charge `5,000 as commission,“ he says.
This was an everyday fight. Disenchanted with medical consumerism, Arun decided to resettle in a small town, Lasalgaon, Nashik, which had no gynaecologist for 70 kilometres.“Most people ask how we've survived in Nashik for over 20 years providing cheap healthcare services. My wife and I would rather do justice to the profession. The fact is that we do this so that we can survive. It's ridiculous for a doctor to think about money while treating his patients,“ says Arun, adding, “We were happy that neither of our daughters chose medicine. Many doctors have deliberately pushed their children out, but luckily, we didn't have to.“
Listing out the top three problems ailing the healthcare sector in the country, Arun points out, “Firstly, it's the pharmaceutical companies coaxing doctors into swindling patients by prescribing costly medicines. Secondly, doctors don't fight against the virus of commission practices. Thirdly, private medical colleges encourage fraudulent medical practices themselves.“
In India, the private sector has grown catastrophically, and healthcare has become inequitable, rues Arun. “The middle class is getting poorer at the hands of corporate bigwigs -it's a toxic circus. We must take a leaf out of the universal health care policies in countries like UK, Canada, Brazil, and Thailand. In Thailand, if a labourer meets with an accident, he is taken to a hospital nearby, shifted to a major hospital where he stays even for 20-30 days, signs a form and leaves. If this can happen in Thailand, why not India?“ Definitely some food for thought from a “medical whistleblower“ fighting against corruption in the healthcare industry .

High Court To Telangana Government: How can you cut trees? How can you even think of doing that?
Ticking off the state government for planning to fell trees in and around the KBR National Park for the Strategic Road Development Plan project, the Hyderabad high court on Wednesday said the park was a national asset and sought to know how the government could think in terms of shrinking the green space in the heart of the city.
The bench of acting Chief Justice Dilip B Bhosale and Justice P Naveen Rao was hearing a public interest litigation petition filed by senior advocate K Pratap Reddy on increasing green cover in Hyderabad and in all major towns and cities of Telangana. During the course of the hearing, Justice Naveen Rao referred to the park which is in the news because of the government's controversial SRDP project.
“I have read an article in a newspaper on the state's intention to make some changes to the KBR Park and its vicinity,“ the judge told the government's special counsel S Sarat Kumar.
Intervening, the acting CJ said he too was hearing about plans to cut trees at the park and commented:
“How can you even think of doing that?
KBR Park is a national asset and it belongs to people. It doesn't belong to any individual or government ? “While the bench had directed the state on April 27, 2016 to furnish details about the total number of parks in all the towns and called for the master plan copy of the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority, the HMDA authorities have not furnished anything to the court so far. When the matter was taken up for hearing on Wednesday, Justice Naveen Rao sought to know from the special counsel their plans on KBR Park. A cornered Sarat Kumar then sought a week's time to file reply detailing the government's plans.
Later, the petitioner's counsel S Niranjan Reddy, told the court about two ancillary pleas he had filed seeking the details of land allotments made by the state in the last 20 ye ars to various projects and parks in Hyderabad and Ranga Reddy districts.The bench directed the state to file its counter furnishing all the details within three weeks.
“There are industrial parks, textile parks, software parks and IT parks, but there are no green parks,“ the counsel said. The bench agreed with him and underlined the need for developing new parks. He also urged the court to set up a court-monitored expert committee to identify areas for developing parks.

Attention: Vaccination Fraud in Hyderabad, India and the World
Jun 15 2016 : The Times of India (Hyderabad)
POLIO `EMERGENCY' AFTER VIRUS STRAIN FOUND IN CITY
After P2 Strain Found, Massive Immunisation Drive From June 20 To 26 l 3L Kids In Hyd, Ranga Reddy To Be Covered As `Preventive Measure'
The Telangana government on Tuesday sounded a `global emergency' after a strain of wild polio virus (P2 strain), that has not been seen in the country for over five years, was traced to the city.
The detection of the Vaccine Derived Polio Virus (VDPV) strain sent the government into a tizzy and prompted the airlifting of two lakh vaccines from Geneva for a massive immunisation programme to be started from June 20. Leaving nothing to chance, officials said that three lakh children in Hyderabad and Ranga Reddy district would be part of the immunisation drive, which they claimed was a `preventive measure'.

Your Brain Is Not Your Mind: True Nature of Consciousness
There’s a fundamental question that’s been asked for ages – are your brain and your mind the same thing? If not, what’s the difference?
First, let’s take a look at the standard definition of mind:
“The element of a person that enables them to be aware of the world and their experiences, to think, and to feel; the faculty of consciousness and thought.” – Merriam-Webster
Now let’s look at how they define brain:
“An organ of soft nervous tissue contained in the skull of vertebrates, functioning as the coordinating center of sensation and intellectual and nervous activity.” – Merriam-Webster
The first thing you’ll notice is that the definitions are very different. The second thing is that the mind focuses more on thoughts and feelings, while the brain focuses more on physical features.
There is no doubt that what you are thinking originates in the brain, but are the mind and the brain the same thing? Is there more to our consciousness then just the firing of neurons across soft tissue?
Most people use mind and brain interchangeably. The truth is that in order for them to be the same thing, the mind needs to be made up entirely from the brain. In reality, your mind does not care what your brain thinks. Psychologists think that the mind can actually control your brain.
Your Mind Can Smile
A great example of how the mind and the brain are actually two different components is by examining your ability to smile.
“For example, your brain will interpret the muscles you use to smile as a sign of happiness, even if you are sad. Thus, you can trick the brain into thinking you are happy by placing a pencil in your mouth and biting down on it, because you use the same muscles. Likewise, cortisol levels that habituate slowly are misread as the continuing presence of threat, even though the threat does not exist. This is problematic for the brain, which has not evolved much; it is not problematic for the mind, which constantly changes.” – Billi Gordon Ph.D.
This is what really separates the two. Your mind is something that is constantly evolving based on feelings and experiences. The brain is only there to interpret these things and provide feedback. This means that the mind is really about your desires and the subconscious self. You can form opinions and change them without any input from the brain. This is why there are mental health benefits from just changing your habits.
Right and Wrong
Your mind and the brain cannot possibly be the same thing as they do not share the same attributes. The brain is highly physical in nature. It can process physical pain, which helps you react to danger. It can process light to ensure your eyes operate at optimal efficiency.
However, the brain cannot decide whether or not to walk to work or ride a bicycle. It cannot decide if you should call your mother this weekend or not. In fact, the brain cannot make any decisions. The brain is like a computer that simply takes input and provides an output.
Decisions are emotional, not logical. Your brain may store the information, but it is up to the mind how to use it.
Your brain cannot tell the difference between right and wrong. It is up to your mind to sort that out. The brain simply takes physical inputs and translates them. Much like the smile example above, the mind is able to manipulate the brain. If you can change your mind on whether or not something is right or wrong, your brain will react accordingly, even if the outcome is identical.
For example, if you made up your mind to push someone over for no reason, your mind knows this is wrong, and you will feel bad. These feelings are communicated to the brain, which causes you to physically feel sadness, regret, etc.
If you push someone over to help them avoid getting hit by a train, your mind knows that this is right, and you will feel good. These feelings are communicated to the brain, which causes you to physically feel joy, happiness, etc.
Even though the exact same action and result occurred physically, your brain processed them in two different ways and sends two different signals to your body. What affected this different responses was in the mind, through the decision you made.

Hyderabad delivers its verdict: Save KBR Park at any cost
12 June 2016
Save Greenery Or Face Death, Say Activists
Once again, Hyderabad came together on Saturday evening to save its most treasured 'green' possession the Kasu Brahmananda Reddy National Park. In an overwhelming response to The Times of India's `Janata Darbar' organized to give citizens of mana sheher an opportunity to speak about the need to protect the city's fast diminishing green spaces scores of Hyderabadis including environmentalists, academics, urban planners, fitness experts, artistes, walkers runners and students gathered outside the park to express their solidarity with the raging `Save KBR' movement. Expressing extreme distress over the Telangana government's decision to axe over 3,000 trees li ning the park's periphery to make way for the multi-crore Strategic Road Development Plan (SRDP), the crowds, in unison, demanded that the authorities pay more attention to conserving what is left of Hyderabad's `heritage' including the expansive 390-acre park and not destroy its character, in the name of development.
“First the government wanted to destroy the Osmania General Hospital and now it's targeted the KBR Park. What right does the government have to pull down heritage structures and destroy our natural heritage“ questioned Sarah Mathews, a social activist rejecting outright the proposed road project.
Ditto, urban geographer Anant Maringanti who appealed to government to not try and solve problems by creating new ones. “ Also, how will Hyderabad be called a world class city if it is going to be washed out because of unsustainable city planning,“ he asked the `designers' of the SRDP . If the speakers minced no words to demand from the government what's truly theirs (read: the KBR Park), the artistes participating in the event made sure their voices too were heard, albeit through their works of art.
`Save Trees, Save the Earth' was the message sent out loud and clear by theatre group Nishumbita through its gripping street play titled `Humein Jeene Do'. The moral of its story was simple protect the environment or be ready to die! Stand-up comedian Avinash Agarwal's short act predictably loaded with dollops of wit and sarcasm too made the same point.“Show me one person who can live without oxygen and I will personally chop these trees,“ the young Hyderabadi said, driving home a simple yet significant thought.
The aam janata, with out a doubt, couldn't agree more.
“If they (government officials) are tough, we are tougher,“ said an emotionally charged Vijay Jargal, a runner at KBR Park, promising to fight till the end to protect the last piece of open space remaining in the city.
Taking a similar vow, another regular to the park, Ammulu Katragadda said: “This is my second home. Apart from the fresh air that this park provides me and many others like me, it also, almost instantaneously, takes away all traces of depression, stress and anxiety. I can't imagine a life in this city without this piece of greenery.“
Standing shoulder to shoulder with the rest, Harsha Maheshwari and Bobby Veera's teams too pledged to stand like a wall before the KBR Park the lush green garden that on Saturday acted as the backdrop of their high-energy flash mob performances.Why they were there and not at a happening social do, wasn't tough to guess!

Gated Development - is the Gates Foundation always a force for good?
Every January, Bill Gates sets out his vision for a better world and the role the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation can play in achieving this in an annual letter to us all. With assets of $43.5 billion, the foundation is the largest charitable foundation in the world. It is arguably the most influential actor on issues of global health and agriculture, and distributes more aid for global health than any government.
Gated Development demonstrates that the trend to involve business in addressing poverty and inequality is central to the priorities and funding of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. We argue that this is far from a neutral charitable strategy but instead an ideological commitment to promote neoliberal economic policies and corporate globalisation. Big business is directly benefitting, in particular in the fields of agriculture and health, as a result of the foundation’s activities, despite evidence to show that business solutions are not the most effective.
Perhaps what is most striking about the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is that despite its aggressive corporate strategy and extraordinary influence across governments, academics and the media, there is an absence of critical voices. Global Justice Now is concerned that the foundation’s influence is so pervasive that many actors in international development, which would otherwise critique the policy and practice of the foundation, are unable to speak out independently as a result of its funding and patronage.

The #1 Risk To Earth
Ben Davidson explains how the sun can trigger the #1 risk to earth, based on severity and likelihood, and the current state of earth’s magnetic reversal, including how our protection from solar energy is weakening with it. In the second half of 2015 several minor solar upticks (100x weaker than ‘big’ ones) caused geomagnetic events we would expect from the only the largest flares every decade or so. This trend is expected to continue and it is not a pretty picture for the coming decades.

Dictator Erdogan Cries “Stab in the Back”; Exposes Angela Hitler
In a dramatic move against “Nazi” Germany, Turkey’s dictator Erdogan just unleashed his ace against Angela Merkel, i.e. her secret Hitlerian background.
Although we already knew this fact years ago, still the impact on the mainstream media around the world about this revelation would be far greater now that their deepest secrets are slowly coming out directly from their own turf.
RT reports:
‘Stab in the back’: Turkey responds fiercely to Germany’s ‘disgraceful’ genocide vote
Turkish media and government figures have condemned Germany’s vote to recognize the 1915 massacre of Armenians by Ottoman Turkish forces as a genocide.
Multiple Turkish news sources made comparisons between German President Angela Merkel and Adolf Hitler, drawing comparisons between the Armenian genocide and Nazi Germany’s Holocaust.
“Comrade stabs us in the back”, “Turkey will not forget” and “Open the gates” are just some of the headlines splashed across Turkey’s newspapers Friday morning, reports Turkish Anadolu Agency.
“Shame on You” screams the non-government funded Hurriyet along with a picture of the voting German parliament.
Sozcu, a secular-nationalist newspaper writes: “The grandchildren of Hitler accusing Turkey of genocide” accompanied by a photo of Merkel outfitted with a Hitler mustache and swastika flag.
The strongest cover came from the AK Party-related journal, Star, which devoted a full page to Merkel with a Hitler mustache with the headline: “Everything for the PKK”, referring to the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK). Turkish security forces are currently engaged in operations against the PKK in southeast Turkey.
Holocaust comparisons to match those harsh words came from within the Turkish government too.

“They burned Jews in furnaces and now they slander the Turkish people by accusing us of some genocide. Why don’t you look at your own history first,” Justice Minister Bekir Bozdağ was quoted by the Anadolu Agency.
On Friday the Turkish foreign ministry responded to the German vote in a written statement, published on their official website and translated by AA, where they describe the motion as “an example of ignorance” and “disgraceful.”
“This resolution is an example of ignorance and disrespect for the law, politicizing history, preventing free discussion on historical issues and trying to impose the self-created taboo of the Armenian narrative as an indisputable fact,” said the ministry.
“There is nothing that Turkey will learn from the parliament of the Federal Republic of Germany,” they added.
Turkey denies allegations of genocide, instead acknowledging that there were “casualties on boths sides.” Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said these were “Ordinary events that could take place in any society or any country… in 1915, under conditions of World War I,” when speaking to the press on Thursday, Hurriyet reported
“The history of the Turkish nation is clear. There is no single event in our history that we feel ashamed of,” said Yildrim to the Star as cited by AA.
Despite Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan saying relations between Germany and Turkey will be “seriously affected”, by Friday PM Yildirim had adopted a less severe approach.
“Nobody should expect that our relations with Germany to get worse completely and suddenly due to such resolutions,” he said.
This is another proof that the Khazarian Mafia are in big trouble and true to their character, are now after each other’s throat.
Just in case you haven’t notice it yet, Truth has been firing from all directions, and it’s been this way, i.e. it has gone mainstream, since 2012, the year the world as we knew it ended.
