Millions Of Italians Rise Up Against New Mandatory Vaccination Law

Millions of Italians are rising up against a government determined to take away the rights of the individual by passing a brutal mandatory vaccination law. The streets of major cities throughout the country are heaving as mainstream media continues to suppress the scale of events.

New Studies Reveal Vaccine Harm

^{By Dr. Mercola}

^{When it comes to vaccine safety, a complaint that I've frequently expressed is the lack of credible studies comparing vaccinated and unvaccinated populations.}

^{At best, we've had vaccination surveys based on self-reported data,2 and while that evidence strongly suggested unvaccinated children experience better health and fewer health problems, they were dismissed by most public health officials as unimportant. There are also published studies showing annual influenza vaccination takes its toll on your health, 3,4,5,6 and may do more harm than good in the long term.}

^{Now, two pilot studies led by Anthony Mawson,7 an interdisciplinary epidemiologist and social scientist with a doctorate in public health, have helped to shed some light on the topic.}

^{The gold standard in scientific research is replication and, while the conclusions of these studies need to be replicated using other data sources, they are another piece of evidence showing there are negative health outcomes for vaccinated children, and that unvaccinated children are actually healthier. It's a good start, and it's important to know these studies exist.}

Led by an innocent into a web of evil

The investigators had seen so much, but the image of the toddler clutching a stuffed rabbit floored them. They had to find him, and they did, building a case that led from a Milford man, Robert Diduca . . .. . . to a serial abuser in the Netherlands, Robert Mikelsons, and to child pornography traffickers in 7 countries and counting. It was a vast global network and, unthinkably, just the tip of the iceberg.

Blackwater (Xe): The Secret US War in Pakistan

by Andrew Hobbs, Brittney Gates, Kelsea Arnold

According to a bipartisan commission report released to the U.S. Congress in February 2011, the heavy reliance on private security companies in current contingency operations, begun during the Bush Administration, has effectively surged under President Barack Obama, raising use-of-force issues and creating a gap in legal accountability. Private contractors flying under the radar are being used on an unprecedented scale to perform the dirty work for the U.S. military involving a myriad of human rights violations, as described in this article addressing the situation in Pakistan.

STRANGE LOUD "TRUMPET" SOUNDS FROM THE SKY (Astara County, Iran) 2017

www.claudionaranjo.net/content_phoenix_english/education_english.html

I have denounced traditional formal (i.e. patriarchal) education to be a most destructive waste at a time when there is nothing that we need so much as true culture, understanding and good heart. I believe that education is our greatest hope, partly because it has already developed the institutional basis for what it has thus far only purported to do and may one day carry out in reality (assisting personal development).

Since our gravest and most basic common problem is the underdevelopment of consciousness, and the healing journey against the stream of deterioration is difficult, we need to emphasize prevention--and we have the vehicle for it in compulsory education, if only we realize how destructive it has been to seek to educate the young to be the reflections of what we are, and how, when we believe that we are passing on our values, we are being arrogantly blind to how and to what an extent we transmit our plagues.

If the great hope of changing education is to be fulfilled - and better soon than never - it will have to rest on the healing and transformation of teachers, for it would be ludicrous to imagine that this could be done through curriculum reform alone. And then the question arises: do we have an effective and feasible method through which we might educate teachers to give them with the experiences and training that were never provided by the academic world and yet are indispensable in view of an education for personal and social evolution?

I believe I have created such a method, and proved its effectiveness to my own satisfaction and to that of my colleagues and alumni. The interested reader may find the relevant information in the sections on SAT and on SAT-in-Education, as well as in my book Changing Education to Change the World, originally written in Spanish and also published in Portuguese and Italian. (I am enclosing the table of contents, its brief introduction and a sample chapter, describing the experiential work with groups that I have developed, and believe to be precisely what education needs for its transformation.)

Most importantly, perhaps, I seek to convince people that the transformation of education is our best hope of the massive change in consciousness that may answer the challenge of our present crisis.

Claudio Naranjo 

Introduction

For a long time, I have resisted "displaying my wares" publicly. However, now I feel happy at the thought that through the Internet I may be able to interest people in my prescription for social healing, in Tótila Albert's heritage and in my own-- as I walk away from the integrative psycho-spiritual school that I created some 36 years ago.

Not only have I resisted coming into the Internet because I have been too absorbed in my various endeavors to occupy myself in giving notice about them; also out of a faith that it is good for the organic unfolding for a community of seekers to be somewhat removed from the limelight, and the trust that a little hiding might bring into operation a process of self-selection according to motivation among those attracted to what I have to offer, since I have believed that this serves what I seek to do.

A stimulus for my having accepted some months ago Martin Cohen's offer of creating a web site for me, has been that of being told that there are thousands of entries in the Internet in my name (and I imagine that I would scarcely feel represented by most of these if I had the time to read them). And I have also accepted in view of the appropriateness of the fact that this offer comes from one who not only has been a librarian and head of a media department of an American University, but a disciple and assistant of both Buckminster Fuller and Ivan Illich.

Mainly, however, my motivation for having a web site now, is triple:

1. it gives me the opportunity to share my vision in regard to the unique potential of education to take us to a better world than the one in which we are living, in the twilight of patriarchal civilization;
2. it is also an opportunity to discharge a great responsibility at a time in life when, at the age of seventy-four, such a responsibility would not be wise to postpone: that of giving voice to Tótila Albert in our contemporary world;
3. and, since nowadays the book market promotes best-sellers and I write for minorities, I hope that a web site may serve as a bridge between my books, tapes and DVD's and the public, for whom they have been written and for whom they are usually difficult to find.

As it will be seen, I have had a privileged training in many fields and have explored as many to the point of bearing abundant and varied fruits. Most of what I have come to understand or create in time has become interwoven in my work-- and not only in what I write but mostly in my work with people. And it seems to me as if all of this converged into the tasks of assisting individual transformation and militating toward the transformation of patriarchal education in an education for "harmonious three-brained beings".

I had not imagined what it would be like to enter the World Wide Web, and now that the time approaches I feel very satisfied at this impending planetary social birth. I imagine that the circulation of my ideas will be a good thing, and perhaps I am too optimistic but I find it difficult to imagine it not being received with interest. I even imagine and hope that this web site may turn out to be a triggering factor for the on-going process of educational change to enter a stage of acceleration.

This web site is intended to provide a reference point for people interested in my work where they can explore the full range of areas of my contributions, find a sampling of texts that I have written (some of them long unavailable generally), and encounter means both of delving into areas of my past work and keeping current with the new.

After making a list of my different specialties and fields of endeavor, I saw a certain symmetry in it that could be conveyed through the image of a bird with its two wings, head and tail. So I asked my good friend Jaclyne Scardova to draw one for me, and she has given me the firebird that I am using as support for the overview. On the flame-like feathers of the left wing are grouped subjects belonging to spirituality, while the right wing maps aspects of psychology and psychotherapy. The head stands for my writing in the area of social criticism and the envisioning of a healthy society, while the tail, refers to practical endeavors:

1. my ideas about the transformation of education;
2. my description of the SAT program;
3. and a section on the application of SAT to education in the form of a "curriculum for humanization" that may serve as a supplement to academic training.

I apologize to my readers for not making myself available to answer possible inquiries or comments - this does not mean that I am not interested in receiving them - only that it would be incompatible with my life's work at the moment to devote the necessary time to the task of more correspondence than I already have. I am also sorry that I cannot offer at the moment a multi-lingual choice for all the materials attached. I hope that this will slowly come together through the interest of various friends in different countries. I thank them beforehand.

An estimated 200 million people worldwide are exposed to arsenic concentrations in drinking water that exceed the recommended limit of 10 µg/l1 as set out in the guidelines of the World Health Organization (WHO).2 The majority of this exposed population lives in southern Asian countries such as Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Nepal and Viet Nam. In addition, elevated levels of arsenic have been found in several countries in Latin America, such as Argentina, Bolivia, Chile and Mexico. Recent estimates suggest that at least 4.5 million people in Latin America are exposed to arsenic levels higher than 50 µg/l – the Bangladeshi threshold.3 In Peru, the current national regulatory standards for arsenic in drinking water are based on WHO’s recommended limit;4 however, little is known about the extent of arsenic contamination of the drinking water and about its health implications in the country.

Scientists demonstrate quantum phenomenon for the first time using a plastic film

For the first time, scientists at IBM Research have demonstrated a complex quantum mechanical phenomenon known as Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC), using a luminescent polymer (plastic) similar to the materials in light emitting displays used in many of today's smartphones.

This discovery has potential applications in developing novel optoelectronic devices including energy-efficient lasers and ultra-fast optical switches—critical components for powering future computer systems to process massive Big Data workloads. The use of a polymer material and the observation of BEC at room temperature provides substantial advantages in terms of applicability and cost.

MIT researchers used Wi-Fi to recognize people through walls

Researchers at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab have developed software that uses variations in Wi-Fi signals to recognize human silhouettes through walls. The researchers built a device, called RF-Capture, that transmits wireless signals and then analyzes the reflections of those signals to piece together a human form, according to a study published this morning.

www.sott.net/article/250049-Prehistoric-Druidical-Rock-Shelter-Found-in-Srikakulam-India

A prehistoric druidical rock worshipping place and shelter resembling those in Europe and Africa, have been discovered amid the hillocks skirting Chittivalsa village in Srikakulam district by a freelance archaeologist, K. Venkateswara Rao recently. 

The cluster of unique oval-shaped standing rock formations each measuring about eight metres in height and 28 metres in circumference and having well-defined ledge cuts and postholes used for wooden canopy like shelter, could have been a habitation and a place of worship. That a prehistoric circular hut existed here is indicated by circular postholes found on boulders opposite to the cluster of standing rocks within a radius of 3.05 metres. 

Daily mail: Going underground: The massive European network of Stone Age tunnels that weaves from Scotland to Turkey

Is it possible that ancient cultures were interconnected thousands of years ago? According to thousands of underground tunnels that stretch from North Scotland towards the Mediterranean, the answer is a big yes. While the reason behind these sophisticated tunnels remains a mystery, many experts believe that this huge 12,000-year-old network was built as a protection against predators and other dangers 12,000 years ago. Some experts believe that these mysterious tunnels were used as modern-day highways, allowing the transition of people and connecting them to distant places across Europe.

In the book Secrets Of The Underground Door To An Ancient World (German title: Tore zur Unterwelt) German archaeologist Dr. Heinrich Kush states that evidence of huge underground tunnels has been found under dozens of Neolithic settlements all over the European continent. These tremendous tunnels are often referred to as ancient highways.

Study Reveals Some Physicians Not Always Open or Honest

The Charter on Medical Professionalism, which is endorsed by more than 100 professional groups worldwide, "requires openness and honesty in physicians' communication with patients."

A new study in Health Affairs presented data from a survey of nearly 1,900 physicians to see how well they follow this principle … The results were less than impressive, to put it mildly:

• One-third of physicians did not completely agree with disclosing serious medical errors to patients
• One-fifth did not completely agree that physicians should never tell a patient something untrue
• Amazingly 40% believed that they should hide their financial relationships with drug and device companies to patients
• Ten percent said they had told patients something untrue in the previous year
