"Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao (R) holds an umbrella for former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger against the rain to see him off after a meeting in Beijing, capital of China, Oct. 12, 2009. Kissinger and his delegation came to Beijing for the inaugural China-U.S. Track Two High-Level Dialogue, which gathered dozens of retired eminent diplomats and officials from both countries. (Xinhua/Yao Dawei) Track Two diplomacy is a special type of diplomacy social engineering when supposedly "neutral" people, like former diplomats and members of think tanks, get together off-line and try to iron out problems affecting nation states. These people don't have the same constraints as public officials, so the thinking goes that they can speak freely and make better progress. Of course, people conducting track two diplomacy are also not ACCOUNTABLE to the public. So theoretically, if everyone was a former this-or-that in a track two diplomacy meeting, one might argue...

Interesting landmarks in China's neighborhood: Strait of Malacca SOURCE Paracel and Spratley Islands SOURCE Sulu Archipelago SOURCE Oil and Gas Deposits SOURCE "Rothschild, the more-than-200-year-old family-controlled banking dynasty, is making a big move in China, and Yu is leading the charge. It plans to add 15 merger advisers there by March, giving it 55 in all, more than any foreign investment bank, says Olivier Pecoux, co-chief executive officer of Rothschild. Today, the merger business in China is still relatively small. So far this year, China has accounted for about 9 percent of the $1.1 trillion in deals around the globe, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The potential, though, is enormous. China has $2.5 trillion in untapped foreign currency reserves and is mandating that state-owned companies expand abroad to secure natural resources such as oil and metals. "The economic balance of power has already chang...

"By studying people’s reactions to a range of artificially-generated faces, Oosterhof and Todorov were able to identify a set of features that seemed to engender trust. Working from those findings, they were able to create a continuum: faces with high inner eyebrows and pronounced cheekbones struck people as trustworthy, faces with low inner eyebrows and shallow cheekbones untrustworthy." ~~~~~~~ http://socialcapital.wordpress.com/2008/08/20/would-i-lie-to-you-engineering-trust-with-your-face/ http://thrivingtoo.typepad.com/thriving_too/2008/08/faces-you-can-t.html http://mindhacks.com/2008/08/19/judging-trustworthiness-in-the-face/ http://webscript.princeton.edu/~tlab/databases Very interesting research. In 2005, Todorov's lab garnered international headlines with a study published in Science demonstrating that quick facial judgments can accurately predict real-world election results. Taking what they have learned over time -- namely that, rightly ...

We received some excellent comments and links from the last post . Many thanks to our brilliant friends and blogmates. We want to unpack the ideas more fully. This particular piece of information might be the key to some mysteries? When the limbic system was stimulated the patients vigilance weakened, they lost capacity to think, often they began to undress or grope and when the stimulation stopped they did not remember it. SOURCE The limbic system affects behavior and memory. If the limbic system could be dialed up and down by some methods, people would experience a range of behavior and memory states? This would be very useful to the controllers, especially if done by secret methods, without people's consent? Is this possible on a wide scale? Well, look at what the limbic system regulates: Limbic system structures are involved in many of our emotions and motivations, particularly those that are related to survival. Such emotions include fear, anger, and emotion...

After watching Dr. Nick Begich's video a few weeks ago, we ordered one of his books: Controlling the Human Mind . This book informs us of the many decades of research, much of it classified, into mind control technologies. Essentially, energy is the invisible handle by which to control people: frequencies. Or, as we have read before, the NWO is wireless. Meaning: invisible. Invisible signals understood by our bodies. How does a woman's body know how to grow a baby? It just knows. In the same way, our bodies know how to respond to energy whether or not our minds comprehend anything about the science of it. See this pdf of the various frequencies and how they affect our brains. The invisible energy enters our body and affects our various systems.  When the limbic system was stimulated the patients vigilance weakened, they lost capacity to think, often they began to undress or grope and when the stimulation stopped they did not remember it. SOURCE The limbic system...

This is a guest post by James at the Winter Patriot Community . The original can be read here. This post grew out of a discussion in the comment thread at our last post, BS Labs . ^^^^^^^ Many moons ago scientists thought the heavens revolved around the earth. They had fashioned theories and equations to verify this. But every now and then a planet would be observed moving backwards. How was this possible? Explanations were put forward and some involved very complicated maths to 'prove' how this was possible. Of course, only educated/trained and intelligent people could follow these explanations. So the average person of average intelligence and average education had no way of credibly arguing with these 'scientists'. But a critical foundation that these complex calculations were based on was wrong. There was one crucial piece of information, one crucial assumption that was backwards. And that was that the heavens, including the planets, revolved around th...
