How Engineering the Human Body Could Combat Climate Change
| By Ross Andersen
From drugs to help you avoid eating meat to genetically engineered cat-like eyes to reduce the need for lighting, a wild interview about changes humans could make to themselves to battle climate change.
The threat of global climate change has prompted us to redesign many of our technologies to be more energy-efficient. From lightweight hybrid cars to long-lasting LED’s, engineers have made well-known products smaller and less wasteful. But tinkering with our tools will only get us so far, because however smart our technologies become, the human body has its own ecological footprint, and there are more of them than ever before. So, some scholars are asking, what if we could engineer human beings to be more energy efficient? A new paper to be published in Ethics, Policy & Environment proposes a series of biomedical modifications that could help humans, themselves, consume less.
Some of the proposed modifications are simple and noninvasive. For instance, many people

CLEARLY THE OIL MARKET IS MANIPULATED. IT IS WELL PAST TIME SOME BEGAN THE HERCULEAN TASK OF TAKING ON THE OIL GANG AND ALL THEIR VESTED HANGERS-ON.
|
“Foolhardy perhaps. But brave nonetheless. Taking on the entrenched might of the oiligarchs, their vested government cohorts, the financial world’s speculation driven excess, the lame oversight agencies and just the rote power of all that oil money pushing to keep the status quo intact requires a remarkable spirit and act of faith. Are the good souls of FairFuelUK dreamers. Probably yes, but it is well past time some began the Herculean task of taking on the oil gang and all their vested hangers-on. No easy task. To set the stage clearly please appreciate that no less than three years ago on July8th, 2009 Prime Minister Gordon Brown and French president Nicolas Sarkozy joinly scripted an opinion piece “We Must Address Oil Market Volatility: Erratic Price Movements In a Market of Such Importance is Cause For Alarm”

Nick Bryant on Pedophilia & Politics
 Two stories have brought the topic of pedophilia front and center. The first story involves continuing allegations regarding priests and children in the Catholic Church worldwide. It is now estimated that the Catholic Church has paid out more than $3 billion in settlements related to sex abuse allegations in North America alone. Eight Catholic diocese have declared Continue reading → |
Portugal: Number of Drug Addicts Halved a Decade After Drug Decriminalization
 On July 1, 2001, Portugal decriminalized every imaginable drug, from marijuana, to cocaine, to heroin. Some thought Lisbon would become a drug tourist haven, others predicted usage rates among youths to surge.Eleven years later, it turns out they were both wrong.
Over a decade has passed since Portugal changed its philosophy from labeling drug users as criminals to labeling them as people affected by a disease. This time lapse has allowed statistics to develop and in time, has made Portugal an example to follow. First, some clarification. Portugal’s move to decriminalize does not mean people can carry around, use, and sell drugs free from police interference. That would be legalization. Rather, all drugs are “decriminalized,” meaning drug possession, distribution, and use is still illegal. While distribution and trafficking is still a criminal offense, possession and use is moved out of |
UN Treaty Bans Guns. Leaked Document
Treacherous wording upholds “States” gun rights but not individuals
Masked behind the language of promoting peace in an international world by preventing genocide, the UN has unleashed a great Trojan Horse that calls upon States to enact national legislation sufficient to meet the minimum goals outlined in this treaty– including gun registries, background checks, import/export controls and more for arms of all types, including small & conventional |
The text of the anticipated and hotly-contested United Nations Arms Trade Treaty has been leaked, with the treaty itself set to be adopted and signed by member States as early as tomorrow, July 27. President Obama, today joining the chorus for gun control inside the United States in the wake of the Batman massacre, has previously indicated that he would sign the treaty, which would then have to be ratified by the Senate.U.K Police State: Olympic Verdict Places British Residents Under Military Rule Indefinitely
| It’s official: an Englishman’s home is no longer his castle.
In a move that is hardly witnessed in wartime, let alone in peacetime, the UK’s military establishment has been given the green light to quarter residential homes without any permission or notice. In the run-up to the 2012 Olympics in London, the UK’s Ministry of Defence (MOD) has taken the unprecedented step of erecting surface-to-air missile batteries on top of multiple residential locations around East London. A group of local council tenants from Leytonstone, East London, lost their high court battle to prevent the military missile encampment from being stationed on the roof of their tower block before and during the Olympics. The action to use their residential block as a military |

The Greek Experiment
This is my editing of an interview Professor Michael Hudson gave to The Real NewsNetwork. I have edited Professor Hudson’s interview for clarity and have not changed the meaning of any of his statements. It is posted on this site with Professor Hudson’s permission. PCRThe Greek crisis is being used to find out how far finance can drive down wages and privatize the public sector.Transcript PAUL JAY, SENIOR EDITOR, TRNN: Welcome to The Real News Network. I’m Paul Jay in Washington. In Greece, the financial elites of Europe have received agreement from the Greek government to another round of what some people are calling savage austerity measures, for example, lowering the minimum wage by 22 percent, a new round of privatizations, and cuts to pensions and many other social programs. Now joining us to discuss all of this: Michael Hudson. So, Michael, what should we be learning from what’s going on in Greece? HUDSON: We should be learning what the European bankers are learning, which is that a great experiment is being conducted. For the last five years in Latvia, the neoliberals have |

Watch Out, Africa, Bill and Melinda Gates Are coming!
Melinda Gates has just unrolled her new program to reduce population in Africa and South Asia. Speaking at the Family Planning Summit in London, the other half of the Gates-Messiah operation pledged to bring contraception to millions of women and girls in the Third World.
Flying under the radar; however, is the partnership between The Gates Foundation and drug giant, Pfizer, and therein lies the dirty little secret. The method of choice to prevent births? Injectable Depo-Provera, long known as a highly dangerous drug. It actually carries a black-box warning on its label, stating that severe bone loss is a consequence of its use. It also thins the vaginal lining, and research is ongoing to investigate the possibility that it increases the risk of breast cancer. Here is the relevant black-box quote: “Women who use Depro-Provera Contraceptive Injection may lose significant bone mineral density. Bone loss is greater with increased duration of use and may not be completely reversible.” Change.org and several other groups are petitioning the US Congress to cut all federal funding |
Bill Clinton’s Mentor Carroll Quigley Reveals Fraud of the ‘Two Party System’
“In American politics we have several parties included under the blanket words “Democratic” and “Republican.” In oversimplified terms, as I have said, were the party of the middle class, and the Democrats were the party of the fringes. Both of these were subdivided, each with a Congressional and a National Party wing. The Republican Congressional Party (representing localism) was much further to the right than the National Republican Party, and as such was closer to the petty-bourgeois than to the upper-middle class outlook. The Democratic Congressional party was much more clearly of the fringes and minorities (and thus often further to the Left) than the Democrat National Party. The party machinery in each case was in Congressional party control during the intervals between the quadrennial presidential elections, but, in order to win these elections, each had to call into existence, in presidential election years, its shadowy National Party. This meant that the Republicans had to appear to move to the Left, closer to the Center, usually moving to the Right. As a result, the National parties and their presidential candidates, with the Eastern Establishment assiduously fostering the process being the scenes, moved closer together and nearly met in the center with almost identical candidates and platforms, although the process was concealed, as much as possible, by the revival of obsolescent or meaningless war cries and slogans (often going back to the Civil War). As soon as the presidential election was over, the two National parties vanished, and party controls fell back into the hands of the two Congressional parties, leaving the President in a precarious position between the two Congressional parties, neither of which was very close to the brief National coalition that had elected him. The chief problem of American political life for a long time had been to make the two Congressional parties more national and international. The argument of two parties should represent opposed ideas and policies, one perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to doctrinate and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can “throw the rascals out” at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy. The policies that are vital and necessary for America are no longer subjects of significant disagreement, but are disputable only in details of procedure, priority, or method.” Carroll Quigely – “Tragedy and Hope” pp. 1247-1248
From Wikipedia: Quigley was born in Boston, and attended Harvard University, where he studied history and earned B.A, M.A., and Ph.D. degrees. He taught at Princeton University, and then at Harvard, and then at the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University from 1941 to 1976. From 1941 until 1969, he taught a two-semester course at Georgetown on the development of civilizations. According to the obituary in the Washington Star, many alumni of Georgetown’s School of Foreign Service asserted that this was “the most influential course in their undergraduate careers” In addition to his academic work, Quigley served as a consultant to the U.S. Department of Defense, the U.S. Navy, the Smithsonian Institution, and the House Select Committee on Astronautics and Space Exploration in the 1950s. In his freshman year in the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown, future U.S. President Bill Clinton took Quigley’s course, receiving a ‘B’ as his final grade in both semesters. Clinton named Quigley as an important influence on his aspirations and political philosophy in 1991, when launching his presidential campaign in a speech at Georgetown.

Bulgaria Terror Attack: A Pretext for an Israeli Invasion of Lebanon
|
Israel will likely use the attack in Bulgaria as a pretext to take out Hezbollah in Lebanon. Earlier this month, we reported on comments made by the IDF that revealed Israel plans to invade Lebanon and “the damage will be enormous.” Israel claims Syria is transferring missiles and chemicals weapons to Hezbollah, the Shi’ite paramilitary organization established following the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982. The New York Times has weighed in on the suicide attack in Bulgaria that claimed the lives of five Israelis:
A senior Israeli official told the newspaper the attack in Burgas was part of a larger plan to carry out terrorist bombings against Israeli targets by Hezbollah and the Iranian Quds Force in response to the assassination of Iranian nuclear scientists. The U.S. and Israel are pushing the Hezbollah-Iran narrative despite a complete lack of evidence. The New York Times reports “that there were no details yet about the bomber — his name, age or nationality. He also declined to describe what specific intelligence — intercepted communications, analysis of the bomber’s body parts and other details — that led analysts to conclude that the suicide bomber belonged to Hezbollah.” Earlier today it was reported that the man was Mehdi Ghezali. He was purportedly detained at the Guantanamo Bay camp from 2002 to 2004. According to The Times of Israel, Ghezali previously studied at a Muslim religious school and mosque in Britain, and traveled to Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, where he was renditioned. Infowars.com has extensively documented links between mosques in Britain and British intelligence. The CIA and Pakistani intelligence collaborated together to create and run the Afghan Mujahideen in the war against the Soviet Union in the 1980s. A faction would later be converted into al-Qaeda and would be used as a destabilization force in the Balkans and elsewhere. Source: Infowars.com, July 19 2012 |
