THE SCIENTIFIC BATTLE OVER PARANORMAL HEALING

Coast To Coast

William Bengston:  Anomalous Healing — 12 Aug 2010 — In hour 1, Bengston discusses the scientific resistance to unexplainable healing modalities, and talks about the barrier of "the faithful"—those scientists and practitioners who "know what they know" and are not interested in alternate information.

Claude Swanson:  Science, Energy Fields, and Healing — 19 May 2010 — Most scientists dismiss phenomena they cannot explain with their theories and measurements.

INFORMATION DOMINATION
MOVING FROM "TOTAL INFORMATION AWARENESS" TO "TOTAL INFORMATION CONTROL"

From false flag operations sold by corporate media as reasons for war to the battle for free information flow on the internet to the false choice of the left-right duality, we live in an era when The Powers That Be recognize the importance of shaping the message, and the spin zone has expanded to such an extent that even seemingly trustworthy sources like WikiLeaks may be caught up in the disinformation game. We offer a number of stories on this important theme.

GP Comments:
      It's easy to dismiss this interview as idle doom-spinning. But Deagle seems surprisingly credible and compelling, especially when he offers an opinion that JFK was assassinated because he took on the Federal Reserve (banksters) and the CIA. (Exactly right, in our estimation.)
      Another of Deagle's interesting points is that TPTB are NOT going to shut down the internet (as many doomsters fear) because TPTB see the net as an essential part of the distracting circus that keeps most people's minds focused on trivialities and off of their inner selves and their true nature—that is, the ability to co-create the matrix reality in which TPTB now dominate.

Gulf Coast Update + Whistleblowers Blast Carbon Offsets — 27 Jul 2010 — Three months into the BP Deepwater Horizon disaster, people are seeing the face of unchecked corporate power and are beginning to ask what sort of lasting reforms can make a difference to make sure a disaster like this never happens again. ~~ Also in the show, Congress throws in the towel on cap and trade provisions in the climate and energy bill, while two EPA enforcement attorneys claim that the proposed federal carbon offsets contain "unfixable flaws and waste, fraud and abuse as dangerous as those that nearly brought down the financial system."

Turning Hard Times Into Good Times

Toward "One World Company, Ltd" — 27 Jul 2010 — Daniel Estulin and Adrian Salbuchi discuss the Bilderbergers—players who are powerful, wealthy, and fairly well known—with the world's real power elites—the wealthy families that remain in the shadows, whose fortunes dwarf those of the official "richest people in the world," and who have been running things for a very long time. They also discuss control strategies of TPTB, contrasting the failed Soviet model—a coercive totalitarian system—with the "freedom/propaganda" model of the modern West, where the populace is essentially tricked into voluntarily doing what's best for TPTB.

Clif High:  Web Bot Update — 26 Jul 2010 — In this interview, Web Bot guru Clif High tells us that, among other things, the data/linguistics are predicting the following:

• New short-term data sets indicate a major earthquake in the NW coast of the US for the end of July/beginning of August.
• TPTB have apparently decided to begin the next phase of the economic collapse—they'll be allowing certain derivatives to go bust in August, which will trigger other problems.
• More broadly, TPTB are engaging a four-pronged attack on the populace: (1) unnatural natural disasters (using HAARP and other advanced technologies); (2) a clampdown on internet and the flow of information; (3) manipulation of money, trashing of economy, and impoverishment of the masses; (4) false flag attacks and global war.
