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. In the second hour, he discusses scientific observations related to "hands-on healing" in controlled experiments and speculates about why such things are possible.

Claude Swanson:  Science, Energy Fields, and Healing — 19 May 2010 — Most scientists dismiss phenomena they cannot explain with their theories and measurements. A few, like Claude Swanson, have studied things like energy healing, torsion-field energy, and manipulations of objects and radiation via paranormal approaches. There is much evidence that supports the reality of such abilities and pathways, even if modern science cannot yet explain them.

GP COMMENT

GP COMMENT

This is worth listening to, but keep a few things in mind. The framing of the problem and the solution by "Austrian" economists, at least as it is presented here, fails to deal with the fact that the financial system has become a huge criminal conspiracy. It's not merely an academic argument about whether the Austrian model is better than Keynesian economics—neither can possibly work if they're run by dishonest people. And libertarianism, for all its surface appeal, is essentially an "every man for himself" system—the wild west brought up to date with lawyers, financial engineers, corporate polluters, and all manner of other high-powered gangsters, who will always profit at the expense of the little guy. Ponder this phrase: "cooperative capitalism." Sounds good, but we need to start thinking through what it would look like.

The Blessing of Hopelessness — If you truly believe there is a universe-driven transformation coming soon to us earthlings, then it may be time to get realistic.

In this light, food storage and intentional community building and other physical attempts to prepare for the chaos that will be associated with transition would be futile and misguided.

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.

COOL & COSMIC
(AND POSSIBLY CATASTROPHIC!)

Coast To Coast

picture of dancing skeleton 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.

A Better World

Pluto Rising — 21 Jul 2010 — "History doesn't repeat, but it does rhyme." So it is with the cycles associated with alignment of planets and other cosmic collusions. Monty Taylor and Eileen McCabe connect emerging alignments to prior cycles in history, and they forecast a "long ride, permanent of total transformation" of earth's structures and human society. Money changers and corporatists look out!
