"We
need more understanding of human nature, because the only real danger
that exists is man himself. He is the great danger. And we are
pitifully unaware of it. We know nothing of man ... far too little. His
psyche should be studied -- because we are the origin of all coming
evil." - C.G. Jung
"If
those in charge of our society - politicians, corporate executives,
and owners of press and television - can dominate our ideas, they will
be secure in their power. They will not need soldiers patrolling the
streets. We will control ourselves." - Howard Zinn
"They
could be made to accept the most flagrant violations of reality,
because they never fully grasped the enormity of what was demanded of
them, and were not sufficiently interested in public events to notice
what was happening ." - George Orwell

Neuro Cars to Be Driven by Thought, Mood and Emotion
By Dahr Jamail, Truthout | Climate Change Series
The
reality of Anthropogenic Climate Disruption (ACD) continues to outstrip
our ability to model worst-case scenarios, as it is happening so much
faster than was ever anticipated. Sixty-three percent of all
human-generated carbon emissions have been produced in the last 25
years, but science shows us that there is a 40-year time lag between
global emissions (our actions) and climate impacts (the consequences).
Hence, we haven't even begun to experience the worst of our emissions,
and won't, until at least 2054.
Since
the industrial revolution began, the human species has increased the
average global temperature by .85 degrees Celsius. In December 2010, the
UN Environment Program predicted up to a 5 degrees Celsius increase by
2050. This is a shocking piece of information, because a 3.5 degrees
Celsius increase would render the planet uninhabitable for humans due to
collapsing the food chain at the level of oceanic plankton and
triggering temperature extremes that would severely limit terrestrial
vegetation, and hence, our ability to feed ourselves. And even higher
temperature increases have been predicted.
The
four life-giving aspects of the planet: Earth, Water, Air and Fire, are
under assault from the ecocide that "industrial civilization" has
wrought upon the globe, coming in the forms of ACD and the myriad other methods of polluting the planet. <read more>

- Humanity is being pushed
to the brink. We’re seeing it in every walk of life. The continuing
question remains, when will each of us wake up and draw the line and say
no further, no matter what the personal cost? When will a rising tide
of personal commitment begin to take serious root? What will it take?
Will we wait until it’s virtually too late to make a serious difference?
Do the fascist police have to bust down your door, shoot your dog as well as Grandpa reaching for his wallet to prove to the machines who he is? Does the State have to take away our children before we wake up? How many more “signs of the times” will it take before individuals begin to take a stand?

Rachel Corrie was killed March 16, 2003, by an Israeli soldier who
crushed her to death with an American-built Caterpillar bulldozer.
Eleven years later, March
16, 2014, on the anniversary of her death, Rachel Corrie is remembered
by her family and friends, also by those who celebrate and cherish a
young American woman who said no to Israel's occupation and no to the
constant attacks on Palestinians and the destruction of Palestinian
homes.

- In an historic ruling on
Thursday, Brazil’s Federal Appeals Court unanimously decided to cancel
the release for cultivation of Bayer’s Liberty Link GM Maize.
The ruling is another legal
disaster for the biotech industry as it follows the decision taken
earlier this week by a court in Mexico to ban GM Soybean cultivation, to
protect the traditions of the Mayan people, namely beekeeping.
The decision is reported to
have created new legal paradigm and may force Brazilian authorities to
reconsider all other commercial releases of GMOs in Brazil. Never before
has a Judge stated that there is a need for studies on the negative
impacts of GMOs in all major biomes in the country.

Two Brazilian inventors claim to have invented a free energy device and
are now selling this device to the public in the Brazilian city of
Imperatriz, Maranhão.
The device is called the Earth Electron Captor Generator, or “GERADOR CAPTOR DE ELÉTRONS DA TERRA” in Portuguese.
The device requires a small
amount of initial input power to initiate the movement of a sensor,
which then produces over-unity power. The device is small, which means
it can be used to power vehicles, homes, and businesses. The site
claims the input power needed to run it is around 2% of its output
power.
