Not Everyone Agrees Deficit Is Major Problem | CommonDreams.org
Ever since concerns over the deficit took center-stage in Washington earlier this year, several prominent economists -- all progressives --- have been pushing back, claiming not simply that proposed spending cuts are too deep, or that the rich should be asked to sacrifice more. Rather, they've challenged the entire premise of the debate: that a budget shortfall caused by over-spending and under-taxation stands to put an undue burden on future generations, and that cuts to government programs, including Social Security, can help fix the problem. That view, they say, is based on a fundamental misunderstanding of what's driving the deficit and how government spending works. In fact, they argue, as one recently put it, that "the current deficit is a positive."

The Secret History of the World

Xenophobia continues to rise, as societies and nations still struggle to define themselves, amidst changing demographics and continuous conflicts over natural resources. Our definition of the self is still confined to narrow religious interpretation and emotional nationalism, rather than the unique opportunity of self discovery that life provides.
Political Ponerology
THE STUDY OF EVIL
Ponerology reveals itself to be a new branch of science born out of historical need and the most recent accomplishments of medicine and psychology. In light of objective naturalistic language, it studies the causal components and processes of the genesis of evil, regardless of the latter’s social scope.
discussions in moral philosophy - the study of right conduct - have failed to systematically investigate the origin, nature, and course of evil in a manner free from supernatural imaginings. Evil was often considered something to be endured rather than something that could be understood and eliminated by rational measures. And - as Lobaczewski demonstrates - the origin of evil actually lies outside the boundaries of the conventional worldview within which the earlier moral inquiries and literary explorations were conducted. Evil requires a truly modern and scientific approach to lay bare its secrets. This approach is called “ponerology”, the study of evil, from the Greek “poneros” = evil. The original manuscript of this book went into the furnace minutes before a secret police raid in Communist Poland. The second copy, painfully reassembled by scientists working under impossible conditions of violence and repression, was sent via courier to the Vatican. Its receipt was never acknowledged - the manuscript and all valuable data lost. In 1984, the third and final copy was written from memory by the last survivor of the original researchers: Andrew Lobaczewski. Zbigniew Brzezinski blocked its publication.
After half a century of suppression, this book is finally available.
Cassiopaea.org and Cassiopaea.com and Quantum Future.net are the websites founded by Theoretical Physicist Arkadiusz Jadczyk and his wife, amateur historian and writer, Laura Knight-Jadczyk.
Quantum Future Physics is the website devoted to the work of Professor Jadczyk. There you will find information relating to Event Enhanced Quantum Theory, Quantum Jumps, EEQT and the Five Platonic Fractals., Transdimensional Transfer Techniques, Jacques Vallee, Quantum Fractals , Critical notes on Richard Hoagland and Tom Bearden, Critical notes on Val Valerian's "Matrix III", ideas about Knowledge and Freedom, technical papers on "Quaternions and Monopoles", and most exciting of all, the views of a theoretical physicist on Physics of the Mysterious.

The Trouble with Physicists
The corruption of physicists falls off the radar screen of interest for the majority of the public. Perhaps this could be a reason why not much has been printed in the news media. The recent Climategate scandal is just one of the many stories reflecting such corruption. Many politicians do not care about the scientific truth, but instead about gaining more power and wealth. Many physicists do not care much about the blacklisting by the arXiv.org at Cornell University as long as it does not affect them...
Witches, Comets and Planetary Cataclysms (download free PDF!)
Scape-goating was utilized to get rid of a lot of individuals who threatened the status quo – the control over the masses – and that included a great many strong, independent women.And so, today, we associate witches with Halloween, the end of October, and the anniversary of the destruction of nearly all life on Earth. It is just a variation on the 'Eve ate the apple and brought about the fall in Eden' story, created by psychopaths who hate women and all they stand for: Creation, Nurturing and Service to Others.

Gulf Coast Toxicity Syndrome: Alternative Medical Treatments
The average life span of a person who did cleanup on the 1989 Exxon Valdez spill is 51 years, meaning almost all of them are already dead, and many of those still alive complain of debilitating chronic disease. Today, almost forty thousand people are working in or around the Gulf of Mexico and a few million on shore are in harm's way, yet British Petroleum is not informing doctors nor making communications that help the public. The BP Gulf spill is at least an order of magnitude greater (possibly much more). As in the case with the Valdez spill, massive amounts of Corexit dispersant have been sprayed throughout the Gulf region...
