Hidden Hand Dialogue reveals Extraterrestrial factor in Illuminati control of Earth

BY DR MICHAEL SALLA ON APRIL 3, 2016

The “Hidden Hand Dialogue” is a set of questions and answers given by a self-described Illuminati insider and members of the Above Top Secret Forum that was recorded in October 2008. The insider responds to questions in a sincere and consistent way, and reveals valuable information about the secret control mechanisms used by an elite group of insiders he calls “The Family”.

Among the many insights s/he gives is that the leadership of the family is very much aligned with a group of extraterrestrial visitors. If genuine, the Hidden Hand dialogues provide many answers to how our world is secretly run, how the extraterrestrial question applies to it, and what may happen as we approach what many describe as an “Ascension Event.”

The Hidden Hand dialogue is based on the premise that secret elite groups control our planet and have been doing so for millennia. These elite groups have been described as the “Illuminati,” the “Incunabula,” “Nephilim,” etc., in books such as Rule By Secrecy, Gods of Eden, and The Biggest Secret. The basic idea is that a select group of families with distinct bloodlines have accumulated power and pass this on from one generation to another. In fact, this is precisely how the insider (the “Hidden Hand”) introduces him- or herself, and describes the group to which he belongs:

I am a generational member of a Ruling Bloodline Family, our Lineage can be traced back beyond antiquity. From the earliest times of your recorded “history”, and beyond, our Family has been ‘directing’ the ‘play’ from behind the scenes, in one way or another. [Note: all Hidden Hand quotes are cited from here]

The Hidden Hand reveals the number of core bloodlines making up “The Family”:

There are 13 ‘base’ or ‘core’ original bloodlines. Yet there are many many other lines that spring from these, as do rivers from the oceans. If you imagine the 13 Original lines as Primary colour, that can be mixed to create a vast array of other colours, then you will have some comprehension. Again, no competition, just Family.

Hidden Hand describes the structure of the ruling bloodlines as follows:

In the grand scheme of things, the Line is not as important as the House, the House, is not as important as the Family. The Family is all. No matter the House or Line, we are One (truly international) Family. Imagine if you will, a body. A House would represent a vital organ or body part within the Body itself. Each part has an important role to play in the functioning of the whole, and to each of us, the ‘whole’ has our undivided loyalty. As I say, many lines, (far more than you are aware of), One Family.

So for example, a particular bloodline, the Rothschilds, is part of a House that controls international finances in this global Family.

Of the thirteen base bloodlines, the Hidden Hand says that only three are indigenous to Earth. The rest have off-world origins, the so called Fallen Angels or Nephilim as described in the Book of Enoch. S/he clearly identifies where the most power is found among the thirteen bloodlines: “I want to be clear on this Bloodline issue. The ones you know, they are of earthly lineage. Yes, they have their place in the Family, but the Real Power lines, do not originate from this planet.

Further clarifying the identity of the most powerful bloodlines, the Hidden Hand says they derive from the “group soul” or entity known as Lucifer:

Our Creator, is the one you refer to as ‘Lucifer’, “The Light Bearer” and “Bright and Morning Star”. Our Creator is not “The Devil” as he has been spuriously portrayed in your bible. Lucifer is what you would call a “Group Soul” or “Social Memory Complex”, which has evolved to the level of the Sixth Density…. In appearance, were you to gaze upon Lucifer’s fullest expression of our Being, the appearance would be that of a Sun or a “Bright Star”. Or, when stepping down into a 3rd Density vibration, we would appear as what you may term an ‘Angel’ or ‘Light Being’.

So while the Family is led by ten extraterrestrial bloodlines, all thirteen bloodlines see themselves as physical manifestations of Lucifer – a highly evolved spiritual being who has taken on the assignment of creating a negative polarity which gives humanity the opportunity to evolve by making better moral choices.

While this admission would lead to fundamentalist Christians describing the Family as devil worshippers, and extraterrestrials as demons, the Hidden Hand is suggesting that Lucifer is performing a form of spiritual service. Importantly, as I discuss later, the Family and its Luciferian power structure, is also a problem for extraterrestrial civilizations. This is how the Hidden Hand justifies why The Family engages in behaviors that many describe as evil:

[W]e need a very high percentage of Negative Polarity, if we are to achieve a Negative Harvest. In other words, we have to be Self-Service-Centred to an extreme degree, in order to become Negatively Harvested. This is why we work so hard to be as Negatively Polarized as we possibly can be.

Put simply, this means that the more highly negative or “evil” the Family is in maintaining its control over the rest of humanity, the more likely that the Family can achieve its ultimate goal. While this appears paradoxical, the Hidden Hand elaborates a complex philosophy as to why this is so.

Understand, that we HAVE to be Negative. That’s what we were sent here to be. It is our contract, and it has always been to help you, by providing the “Catalyst” I spoke of earlier.

By “catalyst,” the Hidden Hand means performing actions that force the rest of humanity to make important moral choices. He explains further:

[W]e must be as Negatively Polarized as possible. Service to Self in the extreme. Violence, War, Hatred, Greed, Control, Enslavement, Genocide, Torture, Moral Degradation, Prostitution, Drugs, all these things and more, they serve our purpose.

This is how the Family sanctions such highly negative behaviors as ritual human sacrifice, and child abuse as documented by researchers such as John DeCamp. The ultimate goal is to awaken humanity to take actions to stop these negative things from happening.

Stanley Kubrick’s final movie, Eyes Wide Shut, revealed the power and rituals of the Illuminati/The Family. Kubrick was found dead shortly after its completion.

Basically, the Hidden hand claims that the Family is teaching humanity to be more empathic. For most, empathy is a defining characteristic of our humanity. Not caring for others suffering from deprivation, acts of violence, would make us less than human.

For those belonging to the Family, empathy is something that would hold one back on the path to “negative polarity” which, paradoxically, will help humanity become more empathic. The paradox here is described by the Hidden Hand:

The ultimate paradox in all this, is that in this storyline we are all co-creating together, in order for us to be of the most Service to you, we must be utterly self serving. I do so love our Creator’s sense of irony.

In answer to a question about a race of extraterrestrials called “Reptilians” being the real power group on the planet, the Hidden Hand claimed: “We are most certainly NOT Reptilian, and there is nothing remotely reptilian about the True Power Bloodlines.” This is an important admission by the Hidden Hand.

While the most powerful elements of the Family are extraterrestrials, the Reptilian species has nothing to do with the real power behind the Family. This is contrary to what authors such as David Icke have been claiming that our world is secretly controlled by Reptilian entities.

What the Hidden Hand is suggesting instead is that there is a Luciferian group soul that is working in our Galaxy that has established power not only on our planet, but on other worlds. Reptilian worlds under the influence of the Family, or Luciferian entity, would be as highly manipulated as our own by off-world bloodlines. In other words, just as the Family has historically manipulated nations of our world into countless wars that increase the power of the Family, so too the Family has played a similar role in fomenting galactic wars.

In short, the Hidden Hand has not only revealed the secret power structure that manipulates life on our planet, but also the power structure that dominates many planets in our galaxy and beyond. This appears uncannily similar to the Star Wars saga where a group of dark spiritual entities called the Sith secretly infiltrate and take over political and spiritual organizations in the Galaxy.

If the Hidden Hand and his Luciferian peers belong to something similar to the Sith, is there a positive counterpart similar to the Jedi Knights? This is how the Hidden Hand describes the modern equivalent of the Jedi Knights – a positive polarity “Family”:

There is such a family (or group more accurately), but you cannot see them, and neither are you aware of their existence. They help the planet from a secret “Inner” location, by the Quality of the Energy work they engage in and project outward to you, from the Source.

How accurate and genuine is the Hidden Hand? In terms of some predictions, s/he was way off. E.g.,

San Francisco and Damascus, will be uninhabitable by the end of 2010, possibly even sooner. There will be raging tsunamis and widespread devastation; and a solar emission in late 2009 early 2010 that will cause major melting of the ice caps, and subsequent drastic rise in sea levels, leaving many (international) metropolitan areas underwater.

These failed predictions suggest that, even if genuine, the Hidden Hand and the Family are not infallible when it comes to predicting and/or controlling world events.

In terms of philosophy, the Hidden Hand dialogue is very consistent with the RA material (Law of One) which is the most widely cited set of channeled materials on the planet. The RA material (1981-1984) was the first to introduce concepts such as negative and positive polarities, densities, a Harvest around 2012, and social memory complexes that are repeatedly cited by the Hidden Hand.

The RA material also revealed that it was possible for a group of entities to spiritually evolve through densities by negative activities. This idea is unique to the RA material, and appears counter intuitive at first, but has a solid philosophical background to it. Importantly, the Hidden Hand cited the RA material as largely accurate, and a solid basis for understanding the metaphysical reality behind how our planet operates.

In terms of agenda, the Hidden Hand says that s/he has been instructed to participate in revealing the truth of Earth’s hidden rulers since this is a requirement for the upcoming “Harvest.” In the Harvest, all individuals are tested for their core ethical orientation for whether they evolve or not out of our third density existence, into a more refined fourth density.

The End of the Mayan Calendar (December 2012) was widely predicted to be when the Harvest would occur based on the work of authors such as John Major Jenkins. His 2002 book, Galactic Alignment: The Transformation of Consciousness According to Mayan, Egyptian, and Vedic Traditions, predicted that the Mayan Calender’s end would coincide with a rare Galactic Alignment of our solar system with the galactic core.

With what is widely viewed as an “uneventful” passage of 2012, many are now describing a forthcoming“Ascension Event” corresponding with other galactic processes. Among these is Corey Goode, who says that while he served in secret space programs from 1987-2007 he read classified reports about regions of the galaxy with “superwaves” that would eventually be encountered by our solar system.

It turns out that the Secret Space Programs and even some programs on Earth and the Black Ops programs had been studying a region of space that we were entering in the galaxy and some – what they had called “super waves” coming toward our solar system that were clouds of energetic particles. And, they knew that it was going to directly affect our solar system and our sun. And indeed, we have seen changes in the sun and changes in all the planets, occurring since at least that time period, if not, probably before. And this has been a slow change in the background-energy of our solar system. These are vibratory energy-waves that are ebbing and flowing into our solar system.

The superwaves would subsequently impact humanity in ways that could lead to profound changes, for better or worse. The critical factor according to Goode, is how well individuals can raise their consciousness and collectively co-create a better world.For some of these reasons, Goode claims that operatives in the secret space programs were encouraged to study the Ra Material (Law of one). This is consistent with what the Hidden Hand had earlier revealed about the Ra Material.

These predicted planetary and galactic changes therefore correspond to an Ascension Event allegedly foreseen as early as the 1980s, when, according to Goode, giant spheres belonging to very advanced extraterrestrial civilizations began entering our solar system.

Consequently, during the predicted “Ascension Event,” individuals get to decide what is most important in their lives – the polarities of “service to self” or “service to other”. Those in the middle, who haven’t yet chosen a polarity, are at real risk during the Harvest according to the Hidden Hand and also in the RA material – which is consistent with Goode’s more recent disclosures.

The agenda behind the Hidden Hand’s revelation therefore appears to be very plausible given what has been described in the RA material, and more recently by Goode. Most importantly, the agenda may not be exclusive to Earth, but also applies to extraterrestrial worlds where “The Family” has great influence.

So what can one conclude from the Hidden Hand dialogue? In my opinion, it is a genuine revelation by an insider belonging to an organization called “The Family” that has both Earthly human and extraterrestrial membership. The Family has been secretly involved in ruling both the Earth and other planets through highly placed elites in key social and political institutions for centuries, if not millennia.

No one extraterrestrial race is the nexus of negative activities as mistakenly claimed by Icke and others.

This includes Stephen Quayle’s recent speculations about giants as demons who are being awakened from advanced stasis chambers to take over the planet. If my analysis is correct, then the giants, like any advanced conscious entity, can be subverted by “The Family” to adopt a Luciferian agenda.

The nexus of evil (or negative polarity) therefore comes from a Luciferian entity or group soul that has physically manifested itself in terms of a transnational and transgalactic elite called “The Family.” Humanity and extraterrestrial civilizations have similar problems in dealing with “The Family,” which has succeeded in attaining power to varying degrees in their respective societies, especially so as we continue to experience planetary and solar changes triggered by cosmic waves associated with a possible Ascension Event.

Coconut Breaking Ritual, alternate to Human Ego Sacrifice

Coconut water spilling electrolytic plasma similar to water of RBC in human blood. It has lauric acid content similar to breast milk.

Coconut is NariKela in sanskrit, where nari is water and kela is fruit.

Young, tender coconuts are extracted when they have maximum water.

In older days, few humans used to offer blood as sacrifice to pure themselves and get relief from bad karma (similar to Jesus Christ shedding his blood to clean up the sins of fellow humans).

In later days, human sacrifices were banned and coconut with 3 dark spots (assumed to be similar to human head with 3 eyes.

Offering coconuts in temples is not mentioned anywhere in vedas.

This tradition emerged after sage Brahmarshi Viswamitra fought against human blood sacrifices, while freeing Sunahsepa and created coconut as an alternate to human head.

Coconut Breaking Ritual, Quantum Intention Accelerator Experiment

Coconut breaking ritual is a form of bloodless sacrifice.

Humans who want to clear their negative karma, remove obstacles in life would assume coconut as their head and offer it to god by breaking it.

Coconut water is electrolytic plasma, similar to what is found in RBC of human blood.

The idea here is to offer something similar to human head and blood and breaking it signifies, breaking of human ego and karma.

It causes the Butterfly Effect, as explained in quantum physics.

Human intentions are sent into cosmic consciousness through scalar waves when Beej Mantras are recited and rituals like this are performed.

There is nothing on earth purer or more sterile than tender coconut water. This water has a divine quality as it contains lauric acid found in mothers breast milk.

Because of its capacity to dissolve numerous substances in large amounts, pure water rarely occurs in nature.

There are three eyes on top of the coconut shell. Only piercing the middle one will allow you to access the water inside. This middle eye is referred to as Lord Siva’s third eye. Rather it is the mediator of yin-yang or tamas-rajas (mediator being sattva guna).

Coconut water is an electrolyte and boosts circulation and is also anti bacterial.

During this coconut breaking ritual, one has to intend properly. Only then one can tune himself to the quantum level energy matrix, and this energy is transferred to his DNA.

Human intention can create quantum fluctuations in the Zero Point Fielf, a vast unharnessed energy source.

We resonate in Zero Point Energy and human intention can influence the universe.

Nikola Tesla was introduced to this ocean of energy (Akasa or Ether) by Swami Vivekananda.

He told Tesla that the “emptiness” of empty space is in fact not empty, but a great ocean of seething energy!

This included the empty space within the atom in which electrons zoomed around.

Akasha is the womb of creation bringing forth every physical aspect that can be perceived with the senses according to ancient Indian traditions.

Consciousness, is a form of EM energy, that focused thought, with intent can achieve extraordinary things.

Each individual mind has access to the universal mind. Human perception occurs because of interactions between the subatomic particles of our brains an the quantum energy sea. We literally resonate the Cosmos.

The quantum field or pure consciousness is influenced by intention (Sankalp).

Scalar waves from your mobius supercoil DNA couples with intention and consciousness. Intentions enhance the body’s natural flow of scalar energy produced by DNA. Your DNA can send and receive powerful data through the universal network of ether.

Intention is like the tuning fork which causes other forks to resonate to the same frequency.

The seemingly magical operations of psychoenergetics, sometimes called “psychotronics,” cannot be achieved with ordinary transverse EM wave energy. But they are possible with longitudinal scalar waves because the mind itself is scalar in nature.

When thousands of human minds have similar thoughts and perform coconut breaking ritual, the frequencies produced resonate with cosmos.

When you break the coconut you must shut off your internal mind chatter, be in the moment for the brief alpha state without ego, make your “intention” ring the tuning fork of your consciousness, to resonate to the quantum level energy matrix, as a vortex of group coherent memory.

Then unleash the scalar waves at speed of thought, and wait for them to do their own miracle.

If the coconut does to break into two halves, it is a divine indication that what you intend may not succeed.

Coconut is revered as a symbol of a Brahmin hence it is advised not to remove the Shikha from it before breaking it.

Only after breaking into 2 halves, shika is removed and offered to god.

The speed of light (communication), or electron to electron reaction, is slower than the speed of gravity, or quark to quark reaction – hence the higher the scalar wave frequency, the faster the time rate.

This is the reason why intention of doctor and positivity of patient are more important than prescribed medicine.

The same applies to a spiritual guru – disciple relation, when a mantra is initiated by guru.

Consciousness affecting reality is called the Placebo Effect. Our body is brought back to the original 

DNA blue print state. It is about “remembered wellness“.

Quantum healing works outside the fabric of space time, and does not follow cause/effect rules. 

Human brain is the ultimate pharmacy which releases natural body friendly chemicals in the right dosage without side effects.

Nutrition from Coconut and Medical Usage

Coconut water is the clear liquid inside young green coconuts (fruits of the coconut palm).

If the shell of the coconut has not been cracked, the coconut water inside is usually sterile – that is, free of bacteria for many months.

In 1942, Dr Pradera in Havana, Cuba filtered coconut water and injected it into the veins of 12 children, at rates of around one-to-two litres per 24 hours. He reported no adverse reactions.

During World War Two, both the British in Sri Lanka and the Japanese in Sumatra regularly used coconut water when the standard intravenous fluids ran out.

Coconut water is not identical to the human blood plasma. Instead, it is closer to the liquid inside the red blood cells, with low sodium and high potassium.

By drinking coconuts we give ourselves a instant blood transfusion.

5 Ways Modern Science Is Embracing Ancient Indian Wisdom

I bow my head in reverence to our ancestors for their sense of beauty in nature and for their foresight in investing beautiful manifestations of nature with a religious significance.

– Mahatma Gandhi

The embrace of Eastern philosophy and mysticism in the West has a long history, from the writings of “the first American yogi” Henry David Thoreau, to the Beatles’ famous 1968 pilgrimage to India, to the current scientific interest in ancient contemplative practices like meditation and yoga.

The dissemination of Indian ideas and practices has shaped the way we view spirituality in the West. But ancient Indian ideas have also influenced a more unlikely domain — modern science, medicine and psychotherapy.

As scientific interest in the inner experience of the individual has grown, we seem to be witnessing a meeting of the minds between Western science and Eastern spirituality. Scientific American featured meditation on its November cover, while the Dalai Lama is working with neuroscientists to study the dimensions of consciousness.

In many ways, modern science is just catching up with the wisdom of early Indian teachings, rooted in ancient Vedic texts and still pervasive in the culture of the Indian subcontinent. Today, many concepts in early Vedic philosophy have been backed up with empirical evidence. As the French Nobel laureate Romain Rollandput it, “Religious faith in the case of the Hindus has never been allowed to run counter to scientific laws.”

A close cooperation between Western scientists and Eastern contemplative traditions like Buddhism can “truly contribute toward expanding the human understanding of the complex world of inner subjective experience that we call the mind,” the Dalai Lama said in 2005.

In honor of the launch of HuffPost India, here are five pieces of ancient Indian wisdom now backed by modern science.

Yoga can heal the mind and body.

Yoga, the ancient Indian mind-body practice, has become a $27 billion dollar industry in the U.S. While Western yoga bears only a partial resemblance to the traditional Indian meditative practice and school of philosophy, yoga is arguably the most widespread and influential Eastern spiritual practice to spread outside the Indian subcontinent. In the West, we tend to use the term yoga to refer solely to the physical postures, or asana, while traditionally, the physical aspect of yoga is just one small part of the practice that was meant to prepare the body for long periods of meditation.

Created for the purpose of stilling the mind and achieving eventual oneness with the divine, yoga (which means “unity” in Sanskrit) has long been believed to bring health to the mind, body and spirit.

“Health is a state of complete harmony of the body, mind and spirit,” said B.K.S. Iyengar, the famous Indian yoga master. “When one is free from physical disabilities and mental distractions, the gates of the soul open.”

While evidence of the positive spiritual benefits of yoga remains mostly anecdotal, a growing body of research has linked an asana-based yoga practice with a slew of positive physical and mental health impacts. Yoga has been found to lessen symptoms of depression and anxiety, ease chronic back pain, lower stress levels,boost brain function and improve heart health.

Scientists now know why. Almost immediately upon starting a practice, yoga’s positive impact extends all the way down to the cellular level, affecting gene expression in immune cells, according to a 2013 Norwegian study. The beneficial changes may lead to boosts in immunity and reduced inflammation.

“There are rapid (within two hours of start of practice) and significant gene expression changes... during a comprehensive yoga program,” the research team wrote in the study. “These data suggest that previously reported effects of yoga practices have an integral physiological component at the molecular level which is initiated immediately during practice and may form the basis for the long-term stable effects.”

Breathing affects our health and well-being.

According to the 15th century yoga manual Hatha Yoga Pradipika, one must learn to control the breath in order to achieve good health, longevity and peace of mind. The yogic practice of breath work known as pranayama — which is Sanskrit for “extension of the life-force” — has been used for centuries as a means of healing the mind and body.

“When the breath wanders the mind also is unsteady,” the Pradipika reads. “But when the breath is calmed the mind too will be still, and the yogi achieves long life.”

The way we breathe can have a significant impact on our well-being and stress levels, and can even create physical changes in the body, including lowering blood pressure levels. Practicing controlled breathing during meditation can increase the size of the brain, boosting cortical thickness, according to a 2005 Harvard study. Among musicians, 30 minutes of deep breathing can reduce performance anxiety, while third-grade students who practice deep breathing before an exam experience less anxiety and self-doubt, as well as heightened concentration. Practicing deep breathing can also lower blood pressure, according to Dr. David Anderson of the National Institutes of Health.

“We take our breath for granted the way we take our heart beat for granted,” Carla Ardito, a breathing expert at the Integral Yoga Institute, told The Huffington Post last year. “The difference is we can work on our breathing.”

Turmeric really is a miracle cure.

Much of the delicious, spicy scent of traditional Indian cooking and vibrant yellow color comes from turmeric, a flavorful spice and powerful anti-inflammatory agent. The use of turmeric in the Vedic tradition dates back at least 4,000 years. Historically, turmeric was used not only as a seasoning element, but also played a role in religious ceremonies and was used medicinally within the ayurveda(“science of life”) holistic health tradition.

Modern nutritional science has confirmed that turmeric does have powerful healing properties. Clinical trials have found turmeric to ward off indigestion and heartburn,lower risk of heart attack, repair stem cells in the brain, and possibly even fight off cancer cells.

It may be particularly beneficial for an aging population. According to recent research, adding just a gram of turmeric to breakfast can help to improve the memory of those at risk for cognitive impairment.

Meditation does lead to a sort of enlightenment.

According to ancient yogic texts, years (or lifetimes) of practicing meditation can lead to eventual enlightenment, or union with the divine. When the fluctuations of the mind are completely stilled, one is free to experience the true Self — the divine soul.

Whether or not meditation is a path to the direct realization of God is, of course, difficult to prove. But modern science has shown that regular meditation can enlighten the mind in a number of ways.

Stilling the mind through a meditation practice leads to actual changes in the brain — mindfulness training has been found to boost neuroplasticity, and even to physically rebuild the brain’s gray matter. An eight-week course of meditation shrinks the amygdala — the brain’s fight or flight center — and thickens the prefrontal cortex, an area associated with awareness, concentration and decision-making.

This can have a powerful physical and psychological effect. Mindfulness decreases stress by lowering levels of the stress hormone cortisol in the body. Meditation is also a powerful way to combat mental health issues: A group meditation training was recently found to be just as effective as a traditional course of individual Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in lessening symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Among highly experienced meditators, incredible feats of mind have been documented. One study found that years of meditation can create changes in the brain neural networks that break down the perceptual and psychological barrier of self/other, causing the meditator to experience a sense of total harmony between themselves and the world around them. Normally, the brain switches between the extrinsic network (used when we focus on things outside of ourselves) and the intrinsic network, which involves self-reflection, emotion and self-referential thought. Rarely do these networks act together. But brain scanning studies revealed that some monks and experienced meditators are able to keep both networks active at the same time during meditation, allowing them to feel a literal sense of oneness.

“Meditation is not just blissing out under a mango tree,” French Buddhist monk Mattheiu Ricard, “but it completely changes your brain and therefore changes what you are.”

Everything really may be interconnected.

We might think of physics and spirituality as being completely antithetic to one another, but recently, some research in theoretical and quantum physics has lent scientific support to the basic tenets of Eastern mysticism. Austrian physicist and bestselling author Fritjof Capra writes, “physics leads us today to a world view which is essentially mystical.”

Here’s the short story: According to Eastern metaphysics, everything in the universe is interconnected, and consciousness pervades all matter, while the view most commonly held in Western science suggests that consciousness only occurs in humans as a byproduct of physical changes in the brain. But some research in quantum physics now supports the Eastern view that perhaps mental states do not rely exclusively on material states, and therefore consciousness may exist separately from any sort of changes occurring in the physical brain. In other words, there can be non-local connections between physical and mental phenomena — even matter that appears to be separate may, in some way, be connected.

“Quantum theory... reveals a basic oneness of the universe,” Capra writes in The Tao of Physics. “It shows that we cannot decompose the world into independently existing smallest units. As we penetrate into matter, nature does not show us any isolated ‘building blocks,’ but rather appears as a complicated web of relations between the various parts of the whole. These relations always include the observer in an essential way. The human observer constitutes the final link in the chain of observational processes, and the properties of any atomic object can be understood only in terms of the object’s interaction with the observer.”

Noted theoretical physicist David Bohm, too, came to the conclusion that there is an underlying unity to the elements that, to our limited perception, appear to be separate.

“Mind and matter are not separate substances,” Bohm wrote in The Undivided Universe. “Rather, they are different aspects of our whole and unbroken movement.”

Frankenmosquitoes About to be Released

April 4, 2016

(This is so-called “science” at it’s worst…)

The FDA is about to complete the release of genetically modified mosquitoes in the Florida Keys—unless we respond in force.

Action Alert!

Earlier this month, the FDA made available a draft environmental assessment predicting that the release of genetically engineered mosquitoes in Key Haven, Florida, would have “no significant impact”—which means that the approval for their release is imminent.

The FDA’s determination is based largely on data submitted by Oxitec, the company producing the GM mosquitoes.

The stated purpose of this experiment—and make no mistake, this is all wildly experimental, and widely criticized—is to eradicate mosquito populations that are responsible for spreading diseases like dengue fever and Zika. The idea is this: genetically engineered male mosquitoes released into the wild breed with disease-carrying mosquitoes, resulting in offspring that die before they are able to breed.

As we’ve pointed out before, this is a terrible idea for a number of reasons.

First, concerns have been raised that the Zika outbreak may be linked to the release of Oxitec’s GM mosquitoes in Brazil three years ago, which was also done for the purpose of combating dengue fever. Some critics of the GM mosquitoes speculate that the presence of the antibiotic tetracycline in the environment could override the genetically modified DNA in the mosquitoes, resulting in increased survival rates of the disease-carrying insects.

Additionally, a recent study showed that the GM mosquitoes released in Brazil did not, in fact, lead to a drop in dengue fever. The number of mosquito eggs fell by an impressive 92% in the city of Jacobina in eastern Brazil—but it did not lead to a drop in the incidence of dengue itself.

Other concerns have also been raised:

The Aedes aegypti mosquito is not native to the Keys. Will the more virulent Asian tiger mosquito, which also carries dengue fever, fill the void left by the reductions in numbers of aegypti? Will the dengue virus mutate (think antibiotic-resistant MRSA) and become even more dangerous?

How will the genetically modified mosquitoes affect the bat population that relies on them for food? Bats are an exceptionally important part of most natural systems, and other animals could be affected as well.

Where are the peer-reviewed safety studies to support Oxitec’s safety claims? What evidence led the FDA to deem this new population of mosquitoes to be ecologically safe? The FDA has not been at all transparent about their clinical trial for safety. And, as noted above, the FDA’s determination is based almost exclusively on Oxitec’s analysis.

This is the same crony scenario we’ve seen played out countless times. The FDA approves elaborate science-fiction experiments to combat diseases that can be treated with safer, more affordable natural health options. Why? Because natural alternatives compete with pharmaceutical drugs and large biotech companies like Oxitec.

Action Alert! Write to the FDA and urge them NOT to approve Oxitec’s release of GM mosquitoes in Florida. Please send your message immediately.

Biggest Ever Data Leak Reveals Firms Linked to World’s Most Powerful People

04.04.2016

A data leak by a Panama firm selling offshore companies has exposed alleged illegal financial activities of some of the world’s most powerful people in tax havens, Germany’s Sueddeutsche Zeitung said Sunday.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — SZ, which says it has obtained the documents from the database of Panama-based law firm Mossack Fonseca, turned to the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) to help them sift through this tremendous bulk of data.

The Making Of #PanamaPapers: How 400 journalists around the world collaborated on the leak http://panamapapers.sueddeutsche.de/articles/56febff0a1bb8d3c3495adf4/ …

The trove of over 11.5 million secret files totaling 2.6 terabytes – e-mails, pdf files, and files – covers a period spanning from the 1970s to the spring of 2016. This is by far greater than the combined total of the Wikileaks Cablegate, Offshore Leaks, Lux Leaks, and Swiss Leaks, SZ estimated.

The documents reportedly provide information on current and former leaders, as well as celebrities and others who allegedly laundered billions of dollars, evaded taxes and dodged sanctions with the help of shell firms abroad.

Some of the companies were purportedly linked to prime ministers of Iceland, Pakistan, the Saudi King, presidents of Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, Argentina, the father of the British prime minister, the family of Azerbaijan’s president, cousins of the Syrian president and a close friend of the Russian president.

Earlier on Monday, the Kremlin announced that an information attack on the Russian leader and his friends and family was set to be launched in several countries in the upcoming days.

According to ICIJ, the documents also show that a law company of the FIFA Ethics Committee had business ties to three people indicted in the ongoing world football corruption scandal.

Mossack Fonseca responded by refusing to validate the information contained in the leaks and accused reporters of gaining unauthorized access to its proprietary documents. It warned that using unlawfully-obtained data was a crime that it would not hesitate to punish by criminal and civil means. Representatives of the above mentioned officials weren't available for immediate comment.

In Whose Interest? - Why The U.S. Went to War for Profit

The United States proudly identifies itself as the major purveyor of 'peace' and 'democracy' across the world.

But does this self-promoted image match up to their actual policies and military engagements throughout recent history, and is warfare actually a befitting means to achieving peace?

Those are the central dichotomies addressed in the documentary short 'In Whose Interest?', a searing investigation of several key conflicts during the last half century and the crucial role the United States played in each of them.

Gone are the noble and justifiable efforts waged in conflicts like World War II.

As reflected in the film, U.S. involvement in international conflicts since that time has often been in direct opposition to the notion of democracy.

Take Guatemala, where their financial and military support led to the ousting of that country's president in 1954, the deaths of hundreds of thousands of citizens, and an end to a democratic revolution in the region.

The reason? The actions of the democratically elected president ran counter to the economic interests of the country's largest corporation - United Fruit - and the United States by extension.

The film contends that the same was true in East Timor, a region that gained the attention of the U.S. due to its close proximity to Indonesia during the mid-1970s.

When Indonesia's lucrative oil and corporate structures were under threat by the promise of democracy in neighboring East Timor, they called upon the assistance of the United States in strategizing and supporting a militarized intervention.

The ensuing conflict resulted in more than 60,000 casualties, and the severe repression of a people.

The film continues to explore this narrative by exploring U.S. involvement in El Salvador, the ongoing Middle East conflicts, and Vietnam, which is perhaps the most profound wound that still festers within the consciousness of the United States after nearly five decades.

Conversations with haunted veterans and scholars of history highlight the contrasts between how a war is sold to soldiers and the American people, and the selfish economic reasons that really motivate them.

Urgent, probing and appropriately incensed, 'In Whose Interest?' seeks to look behind the façade of false patriotism, and understand the reality of the United States' legacy through the world.

Former Bush Official Just Confirmed That Our Wars Are for Corporate Interests

MARCH 31, 2016

United States — “I think Smedley Butler was onto something,” Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, former George W. Bush administration heavyweight, told Salon in an exclusive interview.

Major General Smedley Butler earned the highest rank in the U.S. Marine Corps, accumulating numerous accolades as he helped lead the United States through decades of war. He later became an ardent critic of such militarism and imperialism.

“War is a racket,” Butler famously said, and Wilkerson — who has also turned critical of U.S. imperialist policy — agrees with and admires the esteemed Marine.

Wilkerson, who served as chief of staff to former secretary of state, Colin Powell, has grown tired of “the corporate interests that we go abroad to slay monsters for.”

Of the profiteering scheme that wars have come to embody, Wilkerson quoted Butler:

“Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.”

Noting Butler’s brief but accurate characterization of what Eisenhower called the military-industrial complex, Wilkerson added that today’s war machine “is more pernicious than Eisenhower ever thought it would be.”

The willingness of such weapons and military equipment corporations to excuse the transgressions of repressive and abusive regimes in the Middle East and Asia for the sake of profit, Wilkerson asserted, stands as evidence Eisenhower underestimated the extent the to which the problem would manifest.

“Was Bill Clinton’s expansion of NATO — after George H. W. Bush and [his Secretary of State] James Baker had assured Gorbachev and then Yeltsin that we wouldn’t go an inch further east — was this for Lockheed Martin, and Raytheon, and Boeing, and others, to increase their network of potential weapons sales?” Wilkerson asked.

“You bet it was,” he answered his own question.

“Is there a penchant on behalf of the Congress,” he continued, “to bless the use of force more often than not because of the constituencies they have and the money they get from the defense contractors?

“You bet.

“It’s not like Dick Cheney or someone like that went and said let’s have a war because we want to make money for Halliburton,” Wilkerson explained, describing such decision-making as“pernicious.”

Taking his description a step further, Wilkerson characterized those corporations flooding congressional elections and political PACs with cash as “another pernicious influence.”

Relating another ill of the U.S. war machine, Wilkerson repined the creep of privatization of“public functions, like prisons,” for which the former Bush official places greatest blame on Republicans — though Democrats appear as eager about the shift. Salon mentioned Hillary Clinton’s speech from 2011, during her tenure as Secretary of State, in which she stated, “It’s time for the United States to start thinking of Iraq as a business opportunity.”

Indeed, journalist Jeremy Scahill extensively reported and investigated the enormous army of private contractors operating in Iraq and Afghanistan — with a particular focus on Blackwater. Run by notorious mercenary Erik Prince — who recently became the subject of an investigation by the Dept. of Justice and other federal agencies — Blackwater appeared to operate so unpredictably as to essentially be a rogue organization.

Scahill penned an article for the Guardian in 2007, revealing the exact troubles with privatization Wilkerson referred to — there were 48,000 ‘private contractors’ working for 630 companies in varying capacities in Iraq.

“In many respects,” Wilkerson continued, “it is now private interests that benefit most from our use of military force. Whether it’s private security contractors, that are still all over Iraq or Afghanistan, or it’s the bigger-known defense contractors, like the number one in the world, Lockheed Martin.”

Contractors have arguably done the most to damage U.S.’ international relations and accountability than any other factor — except for the corporations paying them. All of this profit for belligerence has clearly benefited one de facto policy: American imperialism.

“We now dwarf the Russians or anyone else who sells weapons in the world,” Wilkerson noted.“We are the death merchant of the world.”

Now, Wilkerson worried, “We’ve privatized the ultimate public function: war.”

Dictator Erdogan demanded this German Video be Taken Down

German ambassador was summoned by Erdogan, lately. Turkey’s dictator wanted the German government to take down a video showing his excellency in reestablishing his Ottoman Empire through friendship with Daesh Islamic State, suppression of free speech and terrorizing Kurdish communities.

Instead of complying, the German authors added some English and Turkish subtitles in it.

This recent attack on the “Big Boss from Bosporus” will surely fuel more refugee flooding into Europe from Turkey.

Erdogan and others like him are very egoistically sensitive people. And creative pieces such as the video above is one way of bringing down an oppressive regime through the inducement of a stroke, or a heart attack.

English subtitles available. For turkish subtitles this way please: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=349VW.... Danke für eure Likes und Kommentare, wir freuen uns über jeden neuen Abonnenten. Ja. Auch über Sie, Herr Erdogan.

In Sachen Pressefreiheit und Menschenrechte tritt der türkische Präsident ziemlich verhaltenskreativ auf. Also diplomatisch ausgedrückt. Das ist bei uns anders. Unser Song für Istanbul.
