Integrating information across sensory domains to construct a unified representation of multi-sensory signals is a fundamental characteristic of perception in ecological contexts.We provide evidence, based on magnetoencephalography (MEG) recordings from participants viewing audiovisual movies, that low-frequency neuronal information lies at the basis of the synergistic coordination of information across auditory and visual streams. In particular, the phase of the 2–7 Hz delta and theta band responses carries robust (in single trials) and usable information (for parsing the temporal structure) about stimulus dynamics in both sensory modalities concurrently. These experiments are the first to show in humans that a particular cortical mechanism, delta-theta phase modulation across early sensory areas, plays an important “active” role in continuously tracking naturalistic audio-visual streams, carrying dynamic multi-sensory information, and reflecting cross-sensory interaction in real time.
Neurophysiological and human imaging studies are increasingly exploring the response properties elicited by natural scenes. In this study, we recorded magnetoencephalography (MEG) data from participants viewing audiovisual movie clips. We developed a phase coherence analysis technique that captures—in single trials of watching a movie—how the phase of cortical responses is tightly coupled to key aspects of stimulus dynamics. Remarkably, auditory cortex not only tracks auditory stimulus dynamics but also reflects dynamic aspects of the visual signal. Similarly, visual cortex mainly follows the visual properties of a stimulus, but also shows sensitivity to the auditory aspects of a scene.

Fidel Castro Ruz: The World Government (Part One)
“Between 1964 and 1966, the so-called British invasion led to the emergence of a series of British rock singers and groups who became popular in the United States and besieged American culture. […] Toward the end of 1964, it was demonstrated that this ‘English invasion’ had been well planned and coordinated.”
“‘These recently-created groups and their lifestyles […] became a new and very visible ‘type’ (Tavistock jargon), and it was not long before the new styles (clothing, hairstyles and use of language) swept millions of young Americans into the new cult. The youth of the United States suffered a radical revolution without even being aware of it […] and reacted in an incorrect manner against the manifestations of that crisis, namely by using every kind of drug – first marihuana and then lysergic acid (LCD), a powerful drug that altered people’s state of consciousness.’ […] at the MI6 headquarters in London and the CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, it can be taken as fact that British intelligence and its affiliate, the U.S. Office of Strategic Services, were directly implicated in a secret investigation to control human behavior. Allen Dulles, director of the CIA at the time when the agency began Project MK-ULTRA, was head of the OSS in Berne, Switzerland during the initial stage of the Sandoz research.”
“…in the United States and Europe, large outdoor rock concerts were used to halt the growing discontent of the population.”
“The offensive launched by Bilderberg-Tavistock led a whole generation down the yellow brick road of LSD and marihuana…”
“The high priest of the British opium war was Aldous Huxley, the grandson of Thomas H. Huxley, founder of the Rhodes Roundtable Group and also the well-known and eloquent biologist who helped Charles Darwin develop his theory of evolution.”
“‘His tutor at Oxford was H.G. Wells, director of British intelligence during World War I and the spiritual father of the Aquarian Conspiracy. Aldous Huxley was one of the initiates of ‘Children of the Sun’, a Dionysian cult in which the sons and daughters of the British Roundtable elite participated.’ His most famous novel Brave New World is a blueprint (ordered by several world councils) for an authentic socialist world under one sole government or, as his Fabian mentor H.G. Wells said – and used as the title for one of his own popular novels – a blueprint for the New World Order…’”
“In Brave New World, Huxley focused on the scientific method for keeping all populations outside of the minority elite in an almost permanent state of submission and enamored of their chains. The principal tools used to achieve this state were certain vaccines that altered brain function and medicines which the state forced the population to consume. In Wells’ opinion, this was not a conspiracy but rather ‘a world brain working as mind police.’”
“In 1954, Huxley published an influential study of mind expansion via the use of mescaline titled The Doors of Perception(1954), the first manifestation of the culture of psychedelic drugs.”
“In 1958 he collected a series of essays that he had written for Newsday, under the title Brave New World Revisited, in which he described a society in which ‘the primary objective of governors is to avoid at all costs that the governed create problems.’”
“He predicted that democracies would change their essence: the old and strange traditions – elections, parliaments, supreme courts – would remain, but the substratum below would be of non-violent totalitarianism… Meanwhile, the ruling oligarchy and its well-trained elite of soldiers, police, thought fabricators and mind manipulators would tranquilly lead the world as they pleased. In effect, this description of Huxley is perfectly adjusted to the current situation.”
“The public subject of that circle or seminar was religion and its significance in the modern world… In an article published inThe Campaigner magazine in April 1974, Michael Minnicino affirms: ‘During his time at Harvard, Huxley made contact with the president of Sandoz who, in his turn, was working on a CIA assignment to produce large quantities of LSD and Psilocybin (another synthetic hallucinogenic drug) for MK-Ultra, the official CIA experiment in chemical warfare,’ an experiment using humans as guinea pigs for their often lethal experiments which, on many occasions, involved the use of LSD […] Moreover, McGill University in Montreal, Canada, a higher education institute linked to Bilderberg, was also running experiments in the 1960s within the MK-Ultra program under the auspices of John Rees, a degenerate fascist from Tavistock, utilizing as subjects children from national orphanages, whom they tortured and then supplied with various doses of LSD. […] According to documents recently declassified by the CIA (thanks to the Freedom of Information Act), Allen Dulles (at that time director of the CIA) bought more than 100 million doses of LSD, ‘many of which ended up on the streets of the United States at the end of the 1960s,’ according to Minnicino in the previously quoted article.”
“‘…thousands of university students served as guinea pigs. They (the students) immediately began to synthesize their own ‘acid’.'”
“‘…the vast majority of those who demonstrated against the war went to Students for a Democratic Society, prompted by the sense of outrage provoked by the situation in Vietnam. But once trapped in the atmosphere created by the psychological warfare experts at the Tavistock Institute, and inundated with the message that hedonism and defense of the country was a legitimate alternative to the ‘immoral’ war, their scale of values and their creative potential dissipated in a cloud of hashish smoke,’ writes the author in the previously quoted monograph.”
....“‘In the spring of 1980 – Lyndon LaRouche writes in DOPE INC. – a book titled The Aquarian Conspiracy (which sold more than a million copies and was translated into ten languages), became famous overnight as a manifesto of the counterculture.’ […] The Aquarian Conspiracy affirmed that the hour had come for the 15 million U.S. members of the counterculture to join together in order to provoke a radical change in the United States. In fact, this book was the first publication directed at society as a whole which backed the concept of teamwork, a concept that was held to be the most virtuous and was rapidly promoted by the management ‘gurus’.”
“Without using violent repression, they designed a complex combination of actions to obtain a ‘peaceful citizen’ for the New World Order […] They also supported new concepts like ‘Emotional Intelligence’, which is the capacity to love oneself and adequately relate with others. […] A third way for converting this ‘industrial citizen’ into a ‘peaceful citizen’ is a grand marketing campaign to unleash an immense social recognition for collaborators with NGO’s, as I explained in my first bookThe True Story of the Bilderberg Group.”
“MTV, a marketing channel for popular rock music and music videos, invented and directed by Robert Pittman for an adolescent and youth audience, was founded on August 1, 1981. It is now part of the Viacom empire (known as the CBS Corporation). In order to reach youth without society realizing the deception, it became necessary to ‘have available a counter-institution preaching values counter to the dominant values in society.’
“Viewers suffering from brainwashing have only the illusion that they retain the capacity to choose, just like drug addicts believe that they are in control of their addiction instead of it controlling them. ‘MTV – says Ann Kaplan – is designed thanks to a constantly increasing knowledge of the methods of psychological manipulation.’ …The average of television consumption had climbed constantly since its appearance, so that, by the mid-1970s, it was the daily activity to which most time was devoted after sleep and work, with almost six hours’ viewing per day. Since then, with the appearance of the video machine, video consoles, it has increased far more. School age children were spending almost as much time watching television as sleeping.”
“‘In Freudian brainwashing terminology – states Emery – viewers of a music video find themselves in an induced state very similar to sleeping. They are helped, or induced to enter that state, by the repetitive appearance of brilliant colors and images that overwhelm their vision, while the pulsating and vibrant rhythm of rock has a similar effect on their ears.’ Not only are we in an era of television, but also in an era conditioned by television – and it is an era of disquiet, of discontent, of frustration, directed nowhere or all over the place at once – as is logical in an environment in which [television] is omnipresent.”
“Bilderberg’s sinister clique and capos, the clandestine spheres of influence and conscious and intelligent manipulation of organized habits are the most recent expression of a more profound campaign of manipulation in order to institute a world government without limits, which does not respond to anybody other than to itself.”
“…the principal successes sold at will to a demoralized population to the benefit of the fundamentalist fanaticism of a group of men who do not have to respond to anybody and who are seeking absolute power at the price of the dignity of modern humans, denigrated, humiliated and scorned by the combined powers of the manipulation apparatus and brainwashing of Bilderberg-CFR-Tavistock with their team of scientists, psychologists, sociologists and scientists of the new science (New Age, mysticism, et cetera), anthropologists and fascists determined to recreate a new Roman Empire.”
History of Kirkham Grammar School
What would we expect of the gentlemen of the parish who now had to adjust to the great change in their circumstances brought by the Reformation? We’re talking about the Catholic landowners, whose civic capital had been stolen or squandered by the king’s commissioners, and who had been told to take a new religion on pain of their personal property being expropriated. What would we expect of them in the period (let’s say) from 1548 to 1603 — between the second visit of the chantry commissioners and the death of the last Tudor monarch?
We’d expect them to view the changes with dismay. As far as possible they’d try to rub along as before. The mass of their neighbours were as Catholic as they themselves, more or less convincedly so — and that at least meant some comfort in an age of troubles.
That far, things were bearable.

That far, things were bearable.
They would have liked as much as possible to go on in the old way — garnering their neighbours’ hierarchic respect; attending church and marking the seasonal folk-festivals; facilitating the processions, solemn or juvenile; helping the unfortunate here and there as finances allowed. Enjoying their advantages at the heart of a known community.
In return for their social leadership, for making a decent charitable contribution to the parish’s needs — of which the school was one — they had their neighbours’ esteem.
Unhappy it was that these Catholic gentlemen who’d been a cornerstone (along with the church) of what little mediæval local government there was — sheriffs and justices, whose sterling worth had been their chief feature — that they were now the butt of the national government’s flinty suspicion.

Tudor rule meant the rule of the South over the North, just as later in American history the federal system was to mean the rule of the North over the South”. For them, religious persecution was the sharp edge of that rule. The Protestant ascendancy taxed and hunted into non-existence what prominent Catholics it could. As far as the Tudor Court was concerned, the loyalty of Lancashire men to the bishop of Rome was a potentially treasonous loyalty to a hostile temporal power.
In an era which saw the first attempts at organised government surveillance of citizens, an Old Catholic would rather not be noticed in any way. He might also be forgiven for wondering, once the Reformation had done its work: ‘Why contribute to the school? It used to be our school; but it’s not ours anymore. The church of our fathers, that church’s school, no longer exist. Why finance entities that we’re told belong to someone else now — which henceforth will be fostering other people’s hostile beliefs?’

I hate science press releases that hype a study beyond its importance. I hate it even more when the investigators who published the study make statements not justified by the study and use the study as a jumping off point to speculate wildly. True, it's not always the fault of the investigators, particularly if they don't have much experience dealing with the press, but all too often scientists fall prey to the tendency to gab glibly and give the reporter what he or she wants: Pithy, juicy quotes that relate the results to what the reporter wants them related to.
