You know the media are corrupt when there is not one mention of the facts you know that are critical to a story, but hear things that Soros wants the public to hear.  Manipulation of the press... Soros bought 100 reporters—two per state capital.

From mkt. control with his “philosophy” of Reflexivity (after Karl Popper’s), to finding legal loopholes with the Fallibilism “philosophy” (Popper, again), there’s nothing Soros won’t try to own.  Everything he does as “a philanthropist” is to get people attached to him, but when a govt. fines him for things like tax and currency violations ($3M, Belarus), it’s part of a campaign to destroy independent society.  He continues to give money to “independent” media... that say what you may hear in the “mainstream” today.

Pythagoras Conference on 2011.11.11

Guest on Coast To Coast AM this morning: The energy that goes into the aurora borealis is rather local.  NASA said it’s from the sun, the poles, a predictable discharge... and when that was disproved, it was “cosmic bullets from outside, bombarding Earth,” but even that claim was brief—the guest doesn’t buy into any of NASA’s theories on this.

When planets form, they do one of 3 things: 1. fall apart; 2. its hard mass flies off to form a moon; 3. goldilocks—the crust/core goes through a lasting cycle of crack, cool, harden.  Because this planet is close to #3, there would be multiple seas underneath the crust, 800-900 miles down, where species we thought were extinct are showing up again (1,500 new species of stingrays recently).  Holes connecting the seas aren’t fixed; world-wide floods may occur regularly.  Oceanic depression.

The center of gravity of the Earth is really the center of the crust.  According to Newtonian physics, standing in the center of a planet would make you weightless because the planet’s gravity is around you, pulling at you from all angles.  People in Japan saw that the center of the Earth is a single solid crystal that’s rotating at a particular speed, and they measured its temperature—consistent.

Observation modifies the future

Observation is more powerful than you know.  Just think—the right action/intention at the right time...you can do anything.  It’s just a matter of having the information/tools.  And as everything spatial depends on math, everything physical is governed by the Golden ratio (gr=1/gr+1; ≈1.61803398875).

The guest talked about going to an alternate world (in a matter of state of mind) during meditation over the years.  Everyone can do this.  For whatever goal, you just have to set your mind on it, and the universe will give you steps on how to get there.  A caller says he was at one point “one with the universe” during an NDE, adding, “there is no beginning and there is no end” to the universe.  Seeing life from the perspective of a photon.  Empirical data that has to be matched up with the technical data.

There is too much for the press to keep track of at this point; it will be days before everything is known.

Skeptics don’t disbelieve something secret is going on

Area 51 appears to be more of a toxic dumping ground more than “a site for stockpiling alien bodies, man!

The push by Soros’ organs to silence people

Juan Williams has been fired from NPR for his comments on The O’Reilly Factor exploited by Media Matters, his views of Muslims taken out of context.  Political correctness can lead to some kind of paralysis where you do not address reality, said Williams.  About an hour after George Soros gave money to Media Matters, about a day and a half after making his comments, he was fired.
On Tuesday, Glenn Beck challenged Soros to come on his TV and/or radio program.  What does Mr. Soros, practically a govt. now, do but send $1 million directly to Media Matters, the tax-exempt org. created by Clinton, to try to shut people at FOX News up.  Previously, the money would just be laundered through Tides connections.
What does NBC Nightly News do but repeat from the head of Media Matters For America: right-wing lies, efforts to undo the 2008 election results, Beck may call for violence...  Every single sentence is fraudulent, but NBC repeats it unchallenged.

$1.8 million to own journalists, journalism

Four arms of the White House are doing whatever they can to silence Beck, and another arm of Tides Foundation (Soros) has stuck a tentacle in Huffington Post via Investigative Fund to go even further, and anonymously.  $1M doesn’t compare to the accumulated $60M+ at Media Matters.
You cannot regard these “sources” as anything but propaganda, even though CNN uses HuffPost as a source.
Taxpayer-funded propaganda: Tides is now used to buy journalists at NPR.
Anybody who says, ‘hey, wait a minute‘—they’re (immediately) taken out.
At this point, it isn’t difficult to see that intelligent voices are disappearing in the news biz.  The power, and the ignorance is why.
David Axelrod: Don’t treat FNC as news; if you do, we will treat you the same.

Already, Arianna Huffington does not believe in the First Amendment; she is selective, saying that some should have their right revoked, repeating the extremism rhetoric as a justification.  Some still naively dismiss her words because of the smile and accent.  Please get that these are corrupt individuals and propagandists; they work to get people to close their eyes, one way or another.

It’s crazy to think that there might be another Islamic extremist attack.
Vivian Schiller first says, “working at FOX News,” then insulting Williams’ intelligence and sanity: it’s not up to me, that’s for his psychiatrist or publicist— take your pick.  “We have ethical standards.”  Standards like, it would be good if God infected a GOP Sen. and family with AIDS (Nina), or things would be better if millions of Christians suddenly evaporated.  This scandal defines the term ‘double-standard’.
Heterodoxy will not be tolerated: Speech and diversity are so great at National Public Radio, Juan Williams was the last African American there.
Mara Liasson is the other FOX News contributor that works at NPR.

And speaking of repeating talking points, Alvin Greene on Last Word kept answering, “Jim DeMint caused the recession,” even for questions that had nothing to do with DeMint or SC’s economy.  Several times in 6 min.

Your tax dollars at work.  PBS Kids: Loop Scoops w/ Annie Leonard (Story of Stuff) features over-calculating cartoon kids that are subjected to tests via trapping them...the tests teach kids that entrepreneurial spirit hurts the planet, and mercury in video game consoles/handhelds is worse than any brain-atrophy video games promote.  Grand Theft Auto good, Nintendo DS bad.

In a landscape of Fs, companies can somehow buy an A+ rating at the BBB for $350?  People like Anthony Weiner will say anything to attack sponsors.  Now Food Insurance is being targeted (and “reported” on MS-NBC).

Starvation and death.

TIME.com: will the Federal Reserve cause civil unrest.  Ben Bernanke plans to drive down the already low interest rates by buying bonds—by our debt with more debt.  The writer paints a broad brush by going on to say that Tea parties and militia groups make up a powder keg looking for a catalyst (no mention of leftist, revolutionary groups).
There is a point in crazy; the largest spenders in the country tend to be individuals, and the vast majority tend to be in lower income neighborhoods.
This isn’t compassion; this is suicide.

The things you are seeing now are not about the election, they are about preparing for what is to come.  The brewing civil war is coupled with the debt.

Progressive audience reveals ignorance in reaction

Christine O’Donnell asked Chris Coons the trick question, “Where in the U.S. Constitution is the Separation of Church and State?”  “Separation of Church and State,” or as Thomas Jefferson put it, “Wall of Separation,” is not in the Constitution!  The First Amendment only limits federal powers in regards to religion.
O’Donnell still hasn’t memorized the amendments though...what’re the 14th and 16th Amendments again?

And then Evolution was brought up... Ann Coulter calls it is a heckling point.
To show how much more smarter or legitimate you are by making it appear that you know everything...by backing something with racist intentions (eugenics, the “smarter of the species”).  Politically correct racism...
Progressivism depends on ignorance, therefore it is about manipulation.  Andy Stern, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama even emulate dialects to say I’m one of you.

Let me clear up what is observationally true regarding evolution.
Cases of generational chromosomal addition has not been documented, therefore certain parts of special evolution cannot be stated as fact.  However, epigenetic evolution, the study of generational changes in DNA gene markers, has been proven fact through observation.  These switches make sort of a “software” type of adaptation that is limited in scope.  And because of these inevitable limitations in scope, the sort of “natural knowledge” stored is very limited; we are unable to really evolve without adapting our communications into education, writing, and parental guidance.

How do you progress from We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights?  The answer: you don’t.

Soros Lemmings

From the people who brought you Story of Stuff (Tides Foundation, in 4.5K schools) comes Let there be...Stuff?, an age 13-18 curriculum that depicts humans as consumers needing regulation.  Some truth, mostly nihilism (man at the bottom of the food chain).
Thankful to the waters, not for them—the new Stuff? (propaganda) is coming to a church, synagogue or mosque near you.

Ton of Bricks to Come Down (Controversial)

There are already attorneys for...plants.  You go to jail for killing an endangered species, but are protected in killing a human fetus.  Reverend Wright’s church has a room for failed abortions (leave the baby in the room until it dies).
Let there be...Stuff? can already be seen in non-denominational areas.

Clouds are part of a balancing act in the self-correcting environment; they provide cooling.

Those who predicted the weather controlled the lands.

Crops are tied to weather.  And with some worshiping a god similar to the god of Babylon, the 21st-century marks limited control of the weather.

A Deranged Obsession

Hardball’s Chris Matthews: if the people in the hole were members of the Tea Party, as only some of them are good, it is every man for himself—that is no more Social Security, no more government, no more safety net, no more nothing, they would have never gotten out; they would have been killing each other.  AFL-CIO Pres.

New MoveOn.org (Soros) ad targets Target: No way, We don’t like that!  Childish to attract loons; more ‘trying to steal our Democracy’ rhetoric; the character w/ a target head carts the Statue of Liberty, the major Parties, the flag...
Target gave money to a group that makes their own decisions; that group donated money to a candidate that’s against gay marriage, and MoveOn.org is a tool for scheming against capitalism, so...yeah.

The AFL-CIO has many worldwide affiliates, and now this xenophobic story.  No one knows all of\ the identities that posed as one woman in donating up to $175K to the Obama-Biden 2008 campaign, according to the Washington Post.
You can see it in Juan Williams’ eyes last night as he pointed out polling and turnout expectations for Dems. being low: they’re gonna throw out whatever they can, even if whatever they are throwing has no basis in fact.  The FEC says that there is no illegal activity whatsoever, but the Admin. doesn’t believe in a nation of laws.

Calorie Bombs

Pizza Burger, a 2,350-calorie monstrosity that’s 24 cm (61 in) in diameter, carries pepperoni and mozzarella, in a sesame seed bun of 4 burgers—$13 at Burger King; 30-cm (76 in) cheeseburger foot long by Hardee’s (hard to eat all of it w/o vomiting—look at the YouTube video); Red Robin sells burgers stuffed w/ mozzarella sticks; KFC’s “Double Down” doesn’t go far enough for some.  It made them seem edgy, says Brian W. of Cornell U.’s Food and Brand Lab, author of Mindless EatingThese extreme foods are oftentimes just a stunt, something to think about their restaurant.
A larger food portion is foolishly taken as a larger challenge, and a larger flavor, but nothing can “taste longer.”  And these bombs certainly don’t taste better.

Pot calling the kettle black

Rich Iott grilled on AC-360 for reenacting German S.S./(Viking), among other historical figures; the director of the video you see on the web works in theater, and is known for over-the-top performances.  Matthews: is this some kind of homoerotic thing?
Speaking of Anderson Cooper, the silver-haired former host of “reality” Mole was over-the-top offended by the non-sexual use of the word ‘gay’ in a movie preview, not keeping himself honest on Ellen, going as far as to link recent violence to a joke.  Universal has cut the scene in the preview for a new Vince Vaughn movie that also co-stars Kevin James.  It was reported that GLAAD, when asked, wasn’t offended at first.  Paul Blart: Mall Cop is what’s really offensive.

Answers are now rushing in

Coast To Coast AM: What are the chemtrails made of?  AlO2 (aluminum dioxide)?  The flight patterns are rather circular, and don’t stick to the FAA-drawn “highways” that planes are obligated to stay on.
Contrails are rare: planes are too high in alt. for water to condense, and when it does happen, you see it on the wings as well as the tail.

Better transistors means faster computers, more powerful cell phones; super-light means improvements in aeronautics...—the list of potential uses for a mesh that resembles chicken wire—but at an atomic scale—is endless.  The two Russian-born researchers at U. of Manchester in England used Scotch tape to rip off flakes of graphene fm. a chunk of graphite.  (Researchers are trying to find practical ways of making pure graphene a commodity.)  We can’t even imagine the uses we’re going to find, says MIT chemist Michael Strano.  Graphene is so thin that it could be used to make virtually clear touchscreens.

Junk Stories

Jet-packs like in Minority Report?  LAPD ordered 10K?  Nope.  FOX & Friends reported on something fm. the World Daily News/Weekly World News mock tabloid.  The actual models presented are not stable (can buckle), and have only 30 secs of fuel.  The FAA standards are such that any kind of (personal) aircraft must be able to coast to the ground, like a helicopter.  L.A. can’t afford jack.

Ed Schultz tells people to not believe their own eyes: given CBS’s 87K, and NBC’s ~300K, I’d say our crowd size (for 10-02-10) was about equal to 8.28.
There is no comparison bet. the AP and Huffington Post aerial photos; there weren’t even any people on the greens behind the trees, as there were on 8.28.

USA Today’s Sherrod Brown slams The Tea Party as a faux populist movement that would roll back regulations (that are actually bad), and is driven by anger at our government and at our country.  Real populism fights for all Americans, while Tea Party populism divides us.

You Can’t Handle The Truth!

Are you one nation!?

One Nation Working Together rally @ 12PM.  Hosted by mainly Ed Schultz, then Joe Madison, it lasted about 4.5 hrs.  “Not an anti-Tea Party rally,” but Ben Jealous calls it an antidote to the Tea Party,…We want to make the mainstream visible to itself.  People who are really speaking out against the manipulation of others are dangerous?  Well, the U.S. President is endorsing this crowd.  Teachers gave students extra credit in attending.
Not only was it filled w/ socialists, union heads (but not union workers), some of them said to reporters that violence against capitalists may be necessary.  At least one reporter was attacked.
Fear of midterm shifts.  Jane Hamsher (FireDogLake.com) explains to the MS-NBC audience what elections are, so I turn to C-SPAN.  SEIU, and other union T-shirts common.  ~160K showed at the National Mall.  Unlike Restoring Honor on 8.28, people avoided the Vietnam memorial, and here’s why: signs read, Rebuild America Not War; Jobs Not War (w/ MLK)...fill-in-the-blank Not War.  Also, when it was over, the place was covered in litter, and a U.S. flag (or printout) was in the trash; a reporter at the end of the 8.28 rally could find no litter whatsoever.  There was more demonization of conservatives and less quality than at Al Sharpton’s 8.28 march.  Bill O’Reilly’s name came up in a rant of a sign about the ways of the devil beside Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin are racist, as Joe Madison tells a half-truth on stage about the crowd size—“satellite photo,” someone tell...we have more people here than there were on the 29th (sic).
