He also discusses "prophaganda"—the way some people use faux prophesy to drive an agenda, as well as the unintentional boomerang effect of genuine prophesy counter-influencing people's behavior once they hear the prediction.

John Michael Greer:  Dance the Apocalypso But Bet on Reality — 24 Dec 2011 — Greer gives a very intelligent review of the tendency among groups—from Christian zealots to new-age transitionists to beans-bullets-bullion survivalists—to plan their lives according to a coming mega-change. But the news of the death of society is greatly exaggerated, and it would be better to plan your responses to more data-supported problems like peak oil.

Unwelcome Guests

Chris Hedges:  Nonviolent Citizen Resistance Is All We Have Left — 31 Dec 2011 — In a speech before a college audience, Chris Hedges says that the traditional mechanisms by which political and social reform can happen are broken beyond use, beyond repair. Electoral politics is now a waste of time; action must be more direct. If we don't take down the psychopathic bankster/corporate beast—and soon—all remaining opportunity for self-governance will be lost. It comes down to a simple question for each of us: Am I a rebel or a slave?

Financial Sense NewsHour

Ann Barnhardt on MF Global and the Financial House of Cards — 04 Jan 2011 — Ann Barnhardt says the MF Global collapse was driven by JP Morgan in an illegal manner that cheated customers and perverted the entire financial system. Moreover, the MERC's decision not to bail out MF Global underlines that the system has reached a state where it CAN'T be bailed out. The Big Banks collectively are a house of cards that will collapse. You'd be better off with your money in small, privately held local banks, though that is no guarantee—in a big-bank collapse, the black hole may suck in EVERYTHING.

(GP comment:  To expect the members of the Press-Politico Club of D.C. to do more than playfully jab each other in the ribs is to misread the game. It's totally fixed. The important issues are decided completely outside the electoral and media processes, so what we really watch is theatre to keep us entertained and distracted.)

Fukushima—From the Big Lie to Truth & Consequences — 28 Dec 2011 — The Japanese government and TEPCO recently announced that all reactors at Fukushima are in cold shutdown, the situation is stable, and the crisis is over. Nuclear expert Arnie Gundersen explains what a "cold shutdown" status should mean and why Japan's declaration is nothing more than PR. The crisis will take 40 more years to resolve, and in the meantime, we'll be dealing with its radiation releases and all of the contaminated equipment and materials that have resulted from the accident and the efforts to contain it. ~~ In part 2, several guests discuss a new peer-reviewed paper that says the Fukushima accident may have contributed to 14,000 premature American deaths in Mar/Apr 2011 as the initial wave of radioactive air swept from Japan over North America.

The New UFOs—Unidentified Farming Organisms — 10 Dec 2011 — Dr. Don Huber, an agricultural scientist and expert in microbial ecology, discusses the unintended consequences of Monsanto's genetically engineered "RoundUp Ready" crops. His discussion includes glyphosate's impact on the health of the soil ecosystem, including a lower ability of non-weed plants to uptake nutrients; how genetic mutations related to glyphosate application could make certain human foods unsafe; and that the concentrations at which glyphosate is documented to be a potent biocide are lower than the levels of residues allowed in food. Perhaps most shockingly, he discusses a new, unidentified microorganism that is causing disease in a broad spectrum of animals that eat RoundUp Ready corn and soy—and most likely will cause human disease too.

Awakening To Conscious Co-Creation

Timeless Essence, Infinite Being — 14 Dec 2011 — As a college student, Peter Russell noted that psychiatry professors were far less interested in consciousness than yogis were. So he studied eastern philosophy and yogic practice, exploring questions such as... What level of consciousness do animals and insects have compared to humans? Is every atom of everything brought into being by consciousness? Russell talks about such issues and discusses how meditation techniques can relax the mind and help you escape your self-limiting, self-centered existence and be happy, at peace.
