'Financial Circles' Vote Down Government for Italy; Another Step Towards Financial Crash
PDF:
[image: PDF icon] 20180528-financial-circles-italy.pdf
Trampling on democracy and probably on the Italian Constitution, the
European Central Bank and London-centered "financial circles" have used
Italy's state President as their puppet in blocking a clear majority
government. The open reason: It might violate the crippling rules of the
euro in pursuing real economic growth, or even decide to leave the
Eurozone.
In refusing the coalition government of the Lega party and the Five Star
Movement party, which was qualified by a majority of voters in March 4
elections and a major... more »

Colombia's Presidential Election Heads To A Runoff Next Month
*BBC: **Colombia election: Run-off expected in first vote since Farc deal*
Colombia is heading for a run-off in its presidential election after no

It is the first election since the government signed a peace agreement with
the Farc rebel group in 2016.

Any attendance by Mr Moon would be dependent on the progress of pre-summit

Can a Bad Man be a Good Citizen?
Aristotle has said that a “good man can be a good citizen only in a good

from Kant’s *Perpetual Peace: A Philosophical Sketch*:

"All people are children when they sleep.
There's no war in them then.
They open their hands and breathe
in that quiet rhythm heaven has given them.
They pucker their lips like small children
and open their hands halfway,
soldiers and statesmen, servants and masters.
The stars stand guard
and a haze veils the sky,
a few hours when no one will do anybody harm.
If only we could speak to one another then
when our hearts are half-open flowers.
Words like golden bees
would drift in.
God, teach me the language of sleep."

98% of the sexual abuse of underage minors playing sports is perpetrated by

2-8% of young athletes are sexually molested with girls more often victims

I Work with Mark Janus. Here's How He Benefits from a Strong Union
It is unfortunate but the union movement has spent much of the past two
generations fighting to retain advantages in the face of huge job
displacement. Opponents have also never been fair in their attacks either.
Socially the movement was a natural response to the power abuse potential
of the capital-driven corporation. Those organizations produced Big Men
whose power was hopelessly outsized and it could be applied even to
industries not needing the capital. This was and is a real problem.
Yet the debate has also never matured and this has driven away those who

Is “Dendritic Learning” How The Brain Works?
*[image: sardi_dendritic]*
Another step on the road. I personally want to use these tools to access a
point in time and space to revisit the data without recording anything
except the preferred pathway. This makes photographic memory plausible
along with an efficient search tree while not .storing junk.
My new understanding of physics identifies pages in time as the working
unit. Thus a bio network for access is indicated. How remains a mystery.
Perhaps narrowed choice is important there.

First Carbon-rich Asteroid Found in the Kuiper Belt
A good explanation of why we do not commonly see these objects. This is a
problem that I had sorted out when i worked up the conjectures regarding
the Pleistocene Nonconformity. I knew they had to exist, but they were not
been detected and that called into question the line of inquiry.
Now i understand why from this.
They very much exist and that is important. Certainly, the Impact 12900 BP
was clearly targeted and that meant a solid population of carbon-rich
objects.

The Disappearing UFO Experiencers - Part II
There has been a number of reports by folks experiencing contact of human
crew members. This is not particularly common but still unmistakable. The
variety of those experiences invite dismissal as well, so it has not been a

well. In that context, we have a large pool of folks disappearing every

As we remember those who died in military service, let us remember that,
among other things, they gave their lives for our right to vote, so use
that right in November or this mentally ill fascist dirtbag gets to make
their sacrifice a sacrifice for nothing.
Some gave all. Some gave nothing. One got a doctor to write a note about
fake bone spurs and then set off on a career as a con man.

HEADQUARTERS GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC
General Orders No.11, WASHINGTON, D.C., May 5, 1868
I. The 30th day of May, 1868, is designated for the purpose of strewing
with flowers or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in
defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now
lie in almost every city, village, and hamlet church-yard in the land. In
this observance no form of ceremony is prescribed, but posts and comrades
will in their own way arrange such fitting services and testimonials of
respect as circumstances may permit.

When Will It Be Time To Bring Out The Guillotines Again?
You can't imagine what a humongous fan I am of the French Revolution. I
also love New Order songs... especially "Age of Consent," so this video
above-- Oh God! No guillotines but, by the end, you get the point where all
that excess it shows was leading. The French came to refer to Marie
Antoinette as *Madame Déficit* and saw her as profligate self-serving,
promiscuous (with Count Axel von Fersen, who looks very hot in the clip
above) and reactionary. She was executed on the Place de la Révolution, now
called the Place de la Concorde-- by everyone but me-- on October 16 1793.

“We used to think that secrecy was perhaps the greatest enemy of democracy,
and as long as there was no suppression or censorship, people could be

anyone who can find it.”
