I think it's safe to say that we can all agree on that much.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But the complete oversaturation of this symbol that we see constantly in all forms of mass media and advertising demonstrates that there is clearly more involved here than just some natural, innocent, coincidental affection and appreciation for the little creatures.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Like me, and many other people, you may find yourself asking reasonable questions such as, "So, why&amp;nbsp;IS there such an overwhelming fascination with butterflies in the mass media and entertainment business?"&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Q9WVimQClGU/TsiT96kJOAI/AAAAAAAACa0/rDyFY6Nbnsg/s1600/hummer.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" hda="true" height="302" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Q9WVimQClGU/TsiT96kJOAI/AAAAAAAACa0/rDyFY6Nbnsg/s400/hummer.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hey, my wings beat up to 90 times per SECOND...that's pretty cool, huh?!?!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And further, "Why not&amp;nbsp;some &lt;em&gt;other &lt;/em&gt;beautiful and impressive creature - like the hummingbird, or maybe one of the many small, furry and amazingly cute&amp;nbsp;little creatures on God's earth...perhaps a squirrel or something?"&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cUpk8Iso9Dg/TsiUFSylcTI/AAAAAAAACa8/2WrYMu7Di5Q/s1600/squirrel.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" hda="true" height="265" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cUpk8Iso9Dg/TsiUFSylcTI/AAAAAAAACa8/2WrYMu7Di5Q/s400/squirrel.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What's not to love about this little guy??&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Squirrels and hummingbirds are pretty darn awesome, too -&amp;nbsp;don't you think?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; :)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Yet, somehow,&amp;nbsp;only the butterfly seems&amp;nbsp;to enjoy&amp;nbsp;this very intense preoccupation and fascination within&amp;nbsp;the mass media, advertising and entertainment worlds.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oPM0EwWC6yg/TsiKaGSjHwI/AAAAAAAACag/kFjvHJpu2Eg/s1600/cialogo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="395" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oPM0EwWC6yg/TsiKaGSjHwI/AAAAAAAACag/kFjvHJpu2Eg/s400/cialogo.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What has become&amp;nbsp;clear to many aware people is that the overwhelmingly ridiculous overuse of this symbol represents not only a deliberate effort to overexpose the public to this symbol, but also that &lt;em&gt;it is a psychological trigger for those who are the unfortunate victims of trauma-based mind control processes -&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;commonly known to have their inception in the late 1940s with the &lt;em&gt;CIA's MK-ULTRA&lt;/em&gt; project.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Although it was kept secret for many years, the CIA eventually&amp;nbsp;openly admitted that MK-ULTRA involved experimenting&amp;nbsp;with&amp;nbsp;hundreds of dangerous mind-altering drugs, electro-shock "therapy", numerous kinds of torture and abuse, among other things,&amp;nbsp;on thousands of human beings - both US citizens and non-citizens, military and civilian alike. These "experiments" were done for a number of years on certain people who were aware (at least on some level)&amp;nbsp;of being involved in some kind of experiment.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But a deeper truth has now finally become known - that these mind control experiments also included large numbers of people who were completely unaware and who had not given their consent, and did not agree to participate in any way. Unfortunately, they were given no choice in the matter.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-b-ue0zGTa3I/TsicRQcuYwI/AAAAAAAACbU/MCNKBIAjlX0/s1600/mkultra.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" hda="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-b-ue0zGTa3I/TsicRQcuYwI/AAAAAAAACbU/MCNKBIAjlX0/s1600/mkultra.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;MK-ULTRA&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;was the&amp;nbsp;code name given to the&amp;nbsp;larger umbrella project that included many other related sub-projects including, most notably, &lt;em&gt;Project Monarch.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This&amp;nbsp;is the relevant issue involved here in this article.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It has been said that a picture is worth a thousand words.

Officers found the Arizona man “bleeding from the neck, arms and back.” He told cops that after arriving at the home of a woman he met online, he “was bound and was stabbed numerous times over a timeframe of what he described as ‘two days.’” &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;The man was transported to a local hospital, where medical personnel “&lt;em&gt;estimated the number of wounds to be in excess of 300&lt;/em&gt;,” according to a search warrant affidavit sworn by Detective Michael Walisiciwicz. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;“He suffered multiple puncture wounds as well as lacerations and slash wounds to his back, face, arms, legs and neck,” noted Walisiciwicz. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Officers responding to the reported stabbing discovered “bloody duct tape, which was fashioned in a manner that appeared to be a restraint, as well as a bloody length of rope” in the area where the victim was found. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;A blood trail led police to Apartment 9 on the third floor of 918 East Knapp Street. Inside, cops spotted a “large amount of blood on the floor and on bedding in a bedroom.”&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_lVqmYKUT94/TryJTD73w4I/AAAAAAAACYY/20oIIPPYd84/s1600/sanaticduolarge.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="257" nda="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_lVqmYKUT94/TryJTD73w4I/AAAAAAAACYY/20oIIPPYd84/s400/sanaticduolarge.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rebecca Chandler and Raven Larrabee, arrested&amp;nbsp;on "reckless injury" charges for two day bloody Satanic ritual in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;While at the apartment building, police were approached by &lt;em&gt;Rebecca Chandler&lt;/em&gt;, 22, who stated, “I think you are here looking for me.” &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Chandler told cops that she had engaged in sexual relations with the Arizona man “and that the cutting was consensual but that it got quickly out of hand.” &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Chandler claimed that her roommate--whom she identified only as “Scarlett”--was “the one who did the majority of the cutting” during the incident. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Chandler, police reported, “&lt;em&gt;also made reference to ‘Scarlett’ possibly being involved in satanic or occult activities.&lt;/em&gt;” Chandler was placed in custody at the scene.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4ZY3Bwk3ljE/TryKE7_i0XI/AAAAAAAACYg/ZfGq4dbRmIc/s1600/thenecromantic.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" nda="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4ZY3Bwk3ljE/TryKE7_i0XI/AAAAAAAACYg/ZfGq4dbRmIc/s400/thenecromantic.jpg" width="253" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;During a subsequent search of the apartment, investigators seized copies of "&lt;em&gt;The Necromantic Ritual Book&lt;/em&gt;” and "&lt;em&gt;The Werewolf’s Guide to Life&lt;/em&gt;,” a humor book. The former book promises to enable a reader to “&lt;em&gt;share consiousness with the Angel of Death&lt;/em&gt;.” &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Paperwork seized from the home was described by police as the “&lt;em&gt;7 Pentacles” of planets&lt;/em&gt;. Additionally, a black folder was described as an “&lt;em&gt;Intro to Sigilborne Spirtits&lt;/em&gt;,” an apparent reference to “&lt;em&gt;The Sigil-Born&lt;/em&gt;,” metaphysical entities that are “occultic practitioners” of necromancy, the purported ability to contact the dead. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Cops subsequently identified &lt;em&gt;“Scarlett” as Raven Larrabee&lt;/em&gt;, 20. She was arrested and booked yesterday into the Milwaukee County jail, where she is being held in lieu of $100,000 bond. Chandler is also in the county lockup, where her bond was set at $150,000.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-r5P0uT3rxpU/TryKdwvhAXI/AAAAAAAACYo/Z4h8n1_Blnc/s1600/4satanicassault.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" nda="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-r5P0uT3rxpU/TryKdwvhAXI/AAAAAAAACYo/Z4h8n1_Blnc/s400/4satanicassault.jpg" width="308" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;The women, who have not yet been charged by prosecutors, are being held for suspicion of reckless injury, a felony.

Now that reality has set in and they can't find good jobs, are struggling to pay back student loans and have moved back into their parents' basements, the enthusiasm for &lt;i&gt;"hope and change" fantasy &lt;/i&gt;has taken a well-deserved hit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, the uninspired, uneducated, unskilled and stoned have been conditioned for generations to expect something for nothing. They will always be in the tank of the left-wing movement - and they will always be unmotivated and poor and will continue to blame others for their condition. Instead of busting their humps working two or three jobs, they have time to protest on Wall Street. Fascinating.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;America has embraced big government for decades. Embracing Fedzilla's anti-free-market principles has been and will continue to be a job killer. It is the uneducated and unskilled who are feeling the most pain.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Yes, people, especially young people, have a right to be angry, and the smart ones are focusing their anger on President Obama, Rep.

A true soldier, who suffered for his art and what he truly loved to do. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And he loved every minute of it, because he loved music, guitars, and the entire creative process - not just creating music, but creating musical instruments and the electronic devices he used to capture&amp;nbsp;their beautiful tones.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;He was a "REAL MAN", as well as being a really cool, intelligent and humble man. There aren't many more of those left in our world, sadly.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But if&amp;nbsp;even those few of us can learn and grow from what men like Les Paul have taught us, there is still a very good chance that many of us will carry on the ideas and values that he stood for and lived by.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3ebZm-NZAm0/TnFrhC7XkeI/AAAAAAAACNo/HH_E7Z3bXUM/s1600/lespaul1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="338px" rba="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3ebZm-NZAm0/TnFrhC7XkeI/AAAAAAAACNo/HH_E7Z3bXUM/s400/lespaul1.jpg" width="400px" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The true Master, Les Paul.

'Hangar 18'&lt;/i&gt;, which allegedly houses evidence from the Roswell UFO incident in 1947.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://video.designworldonline.com/video?vid=dec4f49a2af648bcbff3ffbaea7a4e9f"&gt;Click here to watch this video and see how the US government is planning to use these 'Bugbots'&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;After watching this video, there is no doubt that despite using the justification of traditional war (against the military forces of hostile nations) and terrorism, the US government would not limit the use of such powerful spying tools as these to only those purposes.&lt;/b&gt;

The hybrids have been produced secretively over the past three years by researchers looking into possible cures for a wide range of diseases.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;The revelation comes just a day after a committee of scientists warned of a nightmare&lt;i&gt; ‘Planet of the Apes’ &lt;/i&gt;scenario in which work on human-animal creations goes too far.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Last night a campaigner against the excesses of medical research said he was disgusted that scientists were &lt;i&gt;‘dabbling in the grotesque’&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Figures seen by the Daily Mail show that 155 ‘admixed’ embryos, containing both human and animal genetic material, have been created since the introduction of the 2008 Human Fertilisation Embryology Act.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This legalised the creation of a variety of hybrids, including an animal egg fertilised by a human sperm; ‘cybrids’, in which a human nucleus is implanted into an animal cell; and ‘chimeras’, in which human cells are mixed with animal embryos. Scientists say the techniques can be used to develop embryonic stem cells which can be used to treat a range of incurable illnesses.&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7_ofMPJcYUQ/TipikkANO3I/AAAAAAAACKY/NQam5O6mS6o/s1600/warwick%2Buniv.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="244px" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7_ofMPJcYUQ/TipikkANO3I/AAAAAAAACKY/NQam5O6mS6o/s400/warwick%2Buniv.jpg" width="400px" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Three labs in the UK – at &lt;i&gt;King’s College London, Newcastle University and Warwick University &lt;/i&gt;– were granted licences to carry out the research after the Act came into force.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;All have now stopped creating hybrid embryos due to a lack of funding, but scientists believe that there will be more such work in the future. The figure was revealed to crossbench peer Lord Alton following a Parliamentary question.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Last night he said: ‘I argued in Parliament against the creation of human- animal hybrids as a matter of principle. None of the scientists who appeared before us could give us any justification in terms of treatment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;‘&lt;i&gt;Ethically it can never be justifiable – it discredits us as a country. It is dabbling in the grotesque&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;‘At every stage the justification from scientists has been: if only you allow us to do this, we will find cures for every illness known to mankind. This is emotional blackmail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;‘Of the 80 treatments and cures which have come about from stem cells, all have come from adult stem cells – not embryonic ones. ‘On moral and ethical grounds this fails; and on scientific and medical ones too.’ &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Josephine Quintavalle, of pro-life group Comment on Reproductive Ethics, said: ‘I am aghast that this is going on and we didn’t know anything about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;‘Why have they kept this a secret? If they are proud of what they are doing, why do we need to ask Parliamentary questions for this to come to light?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;‘The problem with many scientists is that they want to do things because they want to experiment. That is not a good enough rationale.’ &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sJkYrmlA80c/TipkOXQrh0I/AAAAAAAACKg/8Q7RcgsPClc/s1600/newcastle.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="368px" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sJkYrmlA80c/TipkOXQrh0I/AAAAAAAACKg/8Q7RcgsPClc/s400/newcastle.jpg" width="233px" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Test centre: Newcastle University was another site where human animal hybrid testing was being undertaken&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Earlier this week, a group of leading scientists warned about ‘Planet of the Apes’ experiments. They called for new rules to prevent lab animals being given human attributes, for example by injecting human stem cells into the brains of primates.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the lead author of their report, Professor Robin Lovell-Badge, from the Medical Research Council’ s National Institute for Medical Research, said the scientists were not concerned about human-animal hybrid embryos because by law these have to be destroyed within 14 days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He said: ‘The reason for doing these experiments is to understand more about early human development and come up with ways of curing serious diseases, and as a scientist I feel there is a moral imperative to pursue this research.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;‘As long as we have sufficient controls – as we do in this country – we should be proud of the research.’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, he called for stricter controls on another type of embryo research, in which animal embryos are implanted with a small amount of human genetic material.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Human-animal hybrids are also created in other countries, many of which have little or no regulation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2017818/Embryos-involving-genes-animals-mixed-humans-produced-secretively-past-years.html"&gt;http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2017818/Embryos-involving-genes-animals-mixed-humans-produced-secretively-past-years.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All Original Content (C) Copyright 2011 LVB Research, All Rights Reserved.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8470602373263017827-1792960371706734911?l=lvb-research.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lvb-research.blogspot.com/feeds/1792960371706734911/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://lvb-research.blogspot.com/2011/07/150-human-animal-hybrids-secretly-grown.html#comment-form' title='9 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8470602373263017827/posts/default/1792960371706734911'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8470602373263017827/posts/default/1792960371706734911'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lvb-research.blogspot.com/2011/07/150-human-animal-hybrids-secretly-grown.html' title='150 Human-Animal Hybrids Secretly Grown in UK Labs'/><author><name>LVB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03274553336218519156</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_d3Tzjzhz9V8/TONrk3JESXI/AAAAAAAABqI/6Ke2fIvrJu0/S220/beethoven.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lXhfjZG3AO4/Tipha8SU0yI/AAAAAAAACKQ/OM3EBw6qnUo/s72-c/labwork.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470602373263017827.post-1499028674307460639</id><published>2011-07-09T14:49:00.002-07:00</published><updated>2011-07-19T22:30:13.918-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Ultra-Deep Field</title><content type='html'>&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="390" width="640"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/oAVjF_7ensg&amp;rel=0&amp;hl=en_US&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;version=3"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/oAVjF_7ensg&amp;rel=0&amp;hl=en_US&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="390"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;This is an awesome video explaining what happened when professional astronomers pointed the Hubble Space Telescope at what they thought was absolutely nothing and left it there searching - first for 10 days, and then for 11 days. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What they found was mind blowing, especially for many scientists who often tend to believe they have everything figured out. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What we are looking at here are thousands of galaxies that we never knew existed - this view is &lt;i&gt;the most distant place in our universe that we have ever seen in the entire history of humanity&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

All of you make it worthwhile, and I can't thank you enough for your love and support...and even the criticism. It's all good, because no one knows everything, and we're all learning from one another - which is really what it's all about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope to give you plenty more to think about in the coming year, and somehow I don't think this world will disappoint us as far as having a lot of crazy things to discover and talk about. Without a doubt, we live in some very interesting times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As always, I wish you all peace, wisdom and all of God's blessings in your lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- LVB&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All Original Content (C) Copyright 2011  LVB Research, All Rights Reserved.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8470602373263017827-2033276778061647274?l=lvb-research.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lvb-research.blogspot.com/feeds/2033276778061647274/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://lvb-research.blogspot.com/2011/06/100000.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8470602373263017827/posts/default/2033276778061647274'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8470602373263017827/posts/default/2033276778061647274'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lvb-research.blogspot.com/2011/06/100000.html' title='100,000'/><author><name>LVB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03274553336218519156</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_d3Tzjzhz9V8/TONrk3JESXI/AAAAAAAABqI/6Ke2fIvrJu0/S220/beethoven.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sIbpFmZuZgM/TgwUvZXT3sI/AAAAAAAACIc/VKf32mfcIVc/s72-c/100000hits.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470602373263017827.post-182133307832318368</id><published>2011-06-25T23:56:00.014-07:00</published><updated>2011-06-26T21:33:46.642-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Anatomy of Conspiracy</title><content type='html'>&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-b7TGlWEGIOo/TgK5pLn7IoI/AAAAAAAACHk/gc218eeu-qc/s1600/thenumber23.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="310px" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-b7TGlWEGIOo/TgK5pLn7IoI/AAAAAAAACHk/gc218eeu-qc/s400/thenumber23.jpg" width="400px" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Jim Carrey in 'The Number 23', as the stereotypical 'conspiracy nut'.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;What Is Conspiracy?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;In criminal law, a conspiracy is an agreement between two or more persons to break the law at some time in the future, and, in some cases, with at least one overt act in furtherance of that agreement. There is no limit on the number participating in the conspiracy and, in most countries, no requirement that any steps have been taken to put the plan into effect (compare attempts which require proximity to the full offence). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the purposes of concurrence, the &lt;em&gt;'actus reus'&lt;/em&gt; is a continuing one and parties may join the plot later and incur joint liability and conspiracy can be charged where the co-conspirators have been acquitted or cannot be traced. Finally, repentance by one or more parties does not affect liability but may reduce their sentence.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;What is Theory?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Originally, the word theory is a technical term from Ancient Greek. It is derived from &lt;i&gt;theoria, θεωρία&lt;/i&gt;, meaning "a looking at, viewing, beholding", and refers to contemplation or speculation, as opposed to action. Theory is especially often contrasted to "practice" &lt;i&gt;(Greek praxis, πρᾶξις)&lt;/i&gt; an Aristotelian concept which is used in a broad way to refer to any thing done for the sake of any action, in contrast with theory, which is not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While theories in the arts and philosophy may address ideas and empirical phenomena which are not easily observable, in modern science the term "&lt;i&gt;theory&lt;/i&gt;", or "&lt;i&gt;scientific theory&lt;/i&gt;" is generally understood to refer to a proposed explanation of empirical phenomena, made in a way consistent with scientific method. Such theories are preferably described in such a way that any scientist in the field is in a position to understand, verify, and challenge (or "falsify") it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this modern scientific context the distinction between theory and practice corresponds roughly to the distinction between theoretical science and technology or applied science. A common distinction made in science is between theories and hypotheses, with the former being considered as satisfactorily tested or proven and &lt;i&gt;the latter used to denote conjectures or proposed descriptions or models which have not yet been tested or proven to the same standard.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;"Conspiracy Theory"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rZS198Vq75o/Tga5xhCgdRI/AAAAAAAACH0/6DXcCF-Om5Q/s1600/global-warming-conspiracy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="262px" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rZS198Vq75o/Tga5xhCgdRI/AAAAAAAACH0/6DXcCF-Om5Q/s400/global-warming-conspiracy.jpg" width="400px" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;So, when combined, we arrive at the oft-used modern term known as a &lt;i&gt;"Conspiracy Theory". &lt;/i&gt;Based on the general and accurate definitions, this term should then simply mean a proposed explanation or hypotheses relating to the people and/or events involved in the planning of certain criminal activities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instead, this phrase, &lt;i&gt;"Conspiracy Theory", &lt;/i&gt;and in particular when it is used in singular form to label any individual as a &lt;i&gt;"Conspiracy Theorist", &lt;/i&gt;has become among one of the more perjorative and insulting things one can accuse another person of being. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is largely due to constant and repetitive negative portrayals of &lt;i&gt;"Conspiracy Theorists"&lt;/i&gt; in all forms of mass media - films, tv shows, books, magazines, the mainstream corporate "news" syndicates and even official government information sources.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RU_6nIS9SgY/TgbEKMuIcdI/AAAAAAAACH8/CWbGcaNGe-Y/s1600/web-conspiracy-lg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300px" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RU_6nIS9SgY/TgbEKMuIcdI/AAAAAAAACH8/CWbGcaNGe-Y/s400/web-conspiracy-lg.jpg" width="400px" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;The mere mention of the phrase &lt;i&gt;"Conspiracy Theorist"&lt;/i&gt; in recent times, is equivalent to the outright labeling of that person as "crazy", obsessed, mentally-ill and unstable, and generally outside the bounds of what "normal society" would ever consider to be "real", rational or acceptable thought patterns - whether or not their claims have some basis in truth or not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And, to be quite honest, there are unfortunately quite a few of those who do exist, which doesn't help the cause of reasoned, legitimate seekers of truth and justice on any number of issues that could fairly be called conspiracies; i.e., situations in which crimes are being committed and secrets are being kept by those who are committing the crimes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Therefore, this very insulting and inaccurate phrase that has come to be so widely used by mass media (and therefore so widely accepted in the general public mind) as the umbrella term for all "conspiracy nuts", serves as a very convenient way to dismiss and discredit anyone who would dare to question the "official story" on any given set of events - generally, the most suspicious ones.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;It's quite simple, you see - when anyone makes any allegation or even questions certain things, the mere act of labeling them a &lt;i&gt;"Conspiracy Theorist" &lt;/i&gt;instantly unleashes the mental attachments to this phrase of irrational drooling lunatics, obsessing over any and all of the most irrelevant details, and moreso, the suggestion that they are somehow in a deliberate frenzy to find a certain conclusion, whether or not it actually exists - which is quite ironic, being that is precisely what the mainstream mass media does on a daily basis! &lt;/b&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZTUbb1x7zTg/Tgdyf30Th_I/AAAAAAAACIU/rH4_pUvKMMY/s1600/Al_Gore_Global_Warming_Hoax_Dees1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="355px" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZTUbb1x7zTg/Tgdyf30Th_I/AAAAAAAACIU/rH4_pUvKMMY/s400/Al_Gore_Global_Warming_Hoax_Dees1.jpg" width="400px" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One glaring example of this would be the theory of "Global Warming", which has been completely disproven, yet is still trumpeted from the rooftops of global mass media in desperate fashion, even after a multitude of evidence has been shown to the contrary - and numerous examples of academic, media and government collusion and conspiracy have been exposed in falsifying data to mislead the public about the truth of the matter. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet they still continue pushing their false doctrines and bogus "science" (i.e., massive winter blizzards allegedly being caused by all the "warming", etc.), with the ultimate goal being massively increased energy taxes and unified government control over the activities of all businesses and individuals on a global scale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, this portrayal of "Conspiracy Theorists" has become the standard, as opposed to any possibility of more logical and rational-minded individuals, who are rightly questioning situations and are quite simply not finding the official stories that are being given to be altogether acceptable, or at all truthful - often, with very good reasons to think so, such as solid evidence to the contrary. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are your legitimate seekers of truth and justice, who work very hard to find and publish the truth to the masses, regardless of the consequences.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This all-too common method of character-assassination also has the dual effect of "scaring off" other people who may potentially hear what a &lt;i&gt;"Conspiracy Theorist"&lt;/i&gt; has to say and find it to be compelling and truthful, and it thus might even inspire some rational, independent thought and research on their own part. A very healthy thing in any free society, wouldn't you say?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But obviously, if this psychological hook of the false negative characterization of the &lt;i&gt;"Conspiracy Theorist" (or "CT" for short) &lt;/i&gt;being a fanatical, dangerous lunatic is implanted deeply enough by mass media into the psyche of the random viewer/reader, then the odds are very good that the person will simply think and do exactly as they have been programmed to - they will simply dismiss and laugh away whatever ideas (and even any hard facts) that the &lt;i&gt;"CT"&lt;/i&gt; has to offer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-a7wCEP-Ih9w/Tga3AWJa7fI/AAAAAAAACHs/ok_ujEokTAg/s1600/survivoru_following_the_herd.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="264px" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-a7wCEP-Ih9w/Tga3AWJa7fI/AAAAAAAACHs/ok_ujEokTAg/s400/survivoru_following_the_herd.jpg" width="400px" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;This is a rough example of the &lt;i&gt;"herd mentality", &lt;/i&gt;and that of there being &lt;i&gt;"comfort in numbers"&lt;/i&gt; - &lt;i&gt;not strength&lt;/i&gt;, mind you, but merely &lt;i&gt;comfort&lt;/i&gt; (which is most often just a false sense of security) in knowing that "most other people feel just like I do" - or at least that is what you are being led to believe. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This works quite well, for the most part, and is very effective at keeping many people in line, due to the fact that people generally prefer not to leave their "comfort zone" to venture into confrontation (even mentally), when given the choice. &lt;i&gt;Almost always.&lt;/i&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In one sense, this is simply proper human behavior - it is being polite and decent - but in another, it is social conditioning and being programmed to not question or resist ANYTHING at any time, at least not resisting in highly aggressive and possibly even violent ways.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People have been conditioned to slowly forget, and younger ones have never learned at all, that there are certain things worth fighting for, sacrificing everything - even our lives, if necessary. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Human freedom and liberty against tyrannical government control is one of those things, but spiritual wisdom and discernment are necessary to recognize what those things really mean and when those times are actually upon us. This is something that each of us must consider for ourselves - and consider with great care.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Confrontation, though necessary, is often difficult and painful. For many, it is understandably so much easier to just move quietly along with the herd...that is, until the herd reaches those proverbial slaughterhouse gates. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then, well...then, it's already way too late.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;Prime Examples&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-m2AtFVBE7Hs/TgbTAf3INJI/AAAAAAAACIM/4HQ9NrlrVfw/s1600/beautiful-glass.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400px" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-m2AtFVBE7Hs/TgbTAf3INJI/AAAAAAAACIM/4HQ9NrlrVfw/s400/beautiful-glass.jpg" width="258px" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;In the coming days and weeks, you will see sections added to this article which are examples from three separate films, illustrating this deliberate false and negative stereotyping of "Conspiracy Theorists", as they are portrayed in high-budget mainstream film productons for mass consumption. There are plenty more, obviously, but I will focus on these three first, as I feel they are good examples to prove this theory of mine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would also like to invite all of you who are reading this to please feel free to submit your ideas with further examples of this concept, whether from film, tv, mass media "news", etc. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I get enough good ideas, I would see it as a great thing to continue adding more chapters to this article, based on the ideas you send me.

If so, he would have served as prime minister or president for 24 years in all.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dIu78izPlbU/TdnvVsJe3KI/AAAAAAAACEg/OsxKdLMM65g/s1600/Medvedev_Putin.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="248px" j8="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dIu78izPlbU/TdnvVsJe3KI/AAAAAAAACEg/OsxKdLMM65g/s320/Medvedev_Putin.jpg" width="320px" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Current Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, with Vladimir Putin&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The sources said recent criticism by Mr. Medvedev had made Mr. Putin suspicious. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"Putin will run for president. He's made up his mind for good. Rumours that he's still weighing his options are false," said one source.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"There's mounting tension between Medvedev and Putin. The view in Putin's camp is that Medvedev has started behaving with too much arrogance and wants to challenge him. Putin is starting to doubt his loyalty."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Russian constitution allows the president to serve no more than two consecutive terms.&lt;/em&gt; Mr. Putin stepped down in 2008 and handed the reins to Medvedev&lt;em&gt;, &lt;u&gt;on the tacit understanding that he could come back next year if he wished.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oLreq3n5pAw/TdnwYHe6oLI/AAAAAAAACEk/tiJUEk5nQ7I/s1600/medvedev_puppet.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="280px" j8="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oLreq3n5pAw/TdnwYHe6oLI/AAAAAAAACEk/tiJUEk5nQ7I/s400/medvedev_puppet.jpg" width="400px" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DeuGD0hjQ8k/Tdn29LlQP6I/AAAAAAAACEs/LRVksw_M2-8/s1600/SNF03PUPPET_682_445881a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="233px" j8="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DeuGD0hjQ8k/Tdn29LlQP6I/AAAAAAAACEs/LRVksw_M2-8/s400/SNF03PUPPET_682_445881a.jpg" width="400px" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;At first, Mr. Medvedev was regarded as a puppet. He even took to imitating Mr. Putin's distinctive macho stride and speaking style. But three years later, Mr. Medvedev, who at 45 is still Russia's youngest leader in more than seven decades, is understood to be reluctant to step aside for Mr. Putin.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The President is said to be frustrated at the perception, both at home and abroad, that he is a lame duck. A second term would give him the&lt;u&gt; power to pursue a more liberal agenda of greater political freedom and sweeping judicial reforms&lt;/u&gt;, in contrast to that of Mr. Putin, who is viewed as authoritarian.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"Both Putin and Medvedev see themselves as the next Russian president," said another Kremlin source.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"Given that the former brought the latter to power, &lt;em&gt;that's a problem&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"It's the classic tale of the pupil trying to overtake his master. Putin's camp thinks Medvedev is getting too cocky, while the President and his people say it's time for the old man to retire."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;﻿ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZqvZZC9V8sw/Tdn4p9vtAdI/AAAAAAAACE4/IYzP83G8tsY/s1600/800pxDmitry_Medvedev_and_Vladimir_Putin_edit.jpg" imageanchor="1"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="266px" j8="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZqvZZC9V8sw/Tdn4p9vtAdI/AAAAAAAACE4/IYzP83G8tsY/s400/800pxDmitry_Medvedev_and_Vladimir_Putin_edit.jpg" width="400px" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;﻿ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;REALITY CHECK:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mm68XGUOb80/TdoJ-pn1GjI/AAAAAAAACFE/PxwhCbqsVQE/s1600/putin+uniform+winter.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="243px" j8="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mm68XGUOb80/TdoJ-pn1GjI/AAAAAAAACFE/PxwhCbqsVQE/s400/putin+uniform+winter.jpg" width="400px" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The "old man" is not at all too old, but is the younger man in question really qualifed? Well, Mr. Medvedev is certainly a thousand times more qualified than&amp;nbsp;the shameless, communist-organizer, military hater and creator of the highest&amp;nbsp;debt burden in the history of the United States - in only 18 months time - that would be Mr.&amp;nbsp;BHO, the current occupant of the White House.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We would gladly trade Mr. Obama for Mr. Medvedev anytime our Russian friend Mr. Putin is feeling generous, or a little drunk, perhaps -&amp;nbsp;just&amp;nbsp;give us a call, Vlad, and we'll work out the details and do the swap very quickly.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; :)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So, to continue the previous thought&amp;nbsp;- are either of these men truly the best choice for the top Russian leadership position, at this critical time in world history?&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Only the Russian people can tell us how that part is going to shake out.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cccccc; font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Glee Club&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nJ8aSx9zdec/Tdn57stY_3I/AAAAAAAACE8/kaWn-B84Rn8/s1600/Obama-Berlusconi-And-Medvedev.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="276px" j8="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nJ8aSx9zdec/Tdn57stY_3I/AAAAAAAACE8/kaWn-B84Rn8/s400/Obama-Berlusconi-And-Medvedev.jpg" width="400px" /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Same circus, different clowns...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In a comment seen as a veiled attack on Mr. Putin, Mr. Medvedev said last week: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;"A person who thinks he can stay in power indefinitely is a danger to society. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Russian history shows that monopolising power leads to stagnation or civil war."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4GPrBfoqQPo/TdoGTh49TpI/AAAAAAAACFA/IUi4wm7Azs8/s1600/medvedev+-+face.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="266px" j8="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4GPrBfoqQPo/TdoGTh49TpI/AAAAAAAACFA/IUi4wm7Azs8/s400/medvedev+-+face.jpg" width="400px" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Anyone who&amp;nbsp;can tell me who this creepy golden face represents will get&amp;nbsp;a nice prize.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7nj4lAK5Yao/Tdn0drSRv-I/AAAAAAAACEo/klFTm76Wsko/s1600/power+behind+the+throne.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400px" j8="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7nj4lAK5Yao/Tdn0drSRv-I/AAAAAAAACEo/klFTm76Wsko/s400/power+behind+the+throne.jpg" width="277px" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We already know who this guy with Medvedev is -&amp;nbsp;"Mr. Babylon" himself - perhaps the real power behind the throne, both symbolically and literally.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In the past, Mr. Medvedev, a &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://lvb-research.blogspot.com/2010/05/brief-history-of-stars-part-one.html"&gt;Led Zeppelin&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt; fan and &lt;em&gt;iPad&lt;/em&gt; devotee who speaks fluent English, has been careful to avoid open criticism of Mr. Putin, but they have clashed recently.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"Make no mistake, Medvedev is an impressive leader who would be good news for Russia if he stays on," said a Kremlin source.

Like anyone, he is presumed innocent until court proceedings prove otherwise.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-itd3-zVJy_o/TdNDskavVTI/AAAAAAAACDA/7sAce2vXC5s/s1600/66266900-imf-director.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="252" j8="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-itd3-zVJy_o/TdNDskavVTI/AAAAAAAACDA/7sAce2vXC5s/s400/66266900-imf-director.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We do know, however, that at the time of the reported incident on Saturday, Strauss-Kahn was resident in a $3,000-a-night luxury suite at a posh midtown Manhattan hotel. We also know that when he was taken into police custody hours later, aboard a Paris-bound jetliner that was moments from takeoff at John F. Kennedy International Airport, police found him comfortably ensconced in the first-class cabin.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I didn’t think this was how socialists were supposed to roll.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The tinge of opulent decadence that colors the whole episode would seem, at first impression, to cast a dishonorable light on powerful, unaccountable, jet-setting international bureaucrats in general, with perhaps a special spotlight of shame for the French-intellectual variety. But Strauss-Kahn, who is based at IMF headquarters in Washington, was apparently in New York on private business. It is conceivable that he and his peers, while carrying out their official duties on behalf of humanity, make do with hotel rooms costing less per night than most workers of the world earn in a year.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-13eFeiU1Vig/TdND3z-pogI/AAAAAAAACDE/6m091CPWnYM/s1600/IMF_headquarters.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="315" j8="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-13eFeiU1Vig/TdND3z-pogI/AAAAAAAACDE/6m091CPWnYM/s400/IMF_headquarters.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;International Monetary Fund HQ, Washington, D.C.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Then again, had it been an IMF trip, Strauss-Kahn would have been covered by diplomatic immunity — and thus, perhaps, might have avoided the indignity of being held overnight in the Special Victims Unit lockup while detectives searched his person for potential DNA evidence. He almost certainly would have been spared the handcuffed “perp walk” before a frenzied scrum of photographers as he was transferred to court for arraignment.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It’s hard to look at Strauss-Kahn’s predicament without a sense of irony and perhaps a touch of schadenfreude. There is nothing remotely amusing, however, about the alleged assault — which, I should note, his attorney categorically denies.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-J2fYgKuhFKU/TdNHYqPu-5I/AAAAAAAACDg/PGxf_HoLCKQ/s1600/sofitel+ny.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" j8="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-J2fYgKuhFKU/TdNHYqPu-5I/AAAAAAAACDg/PGxf_HoLCKQ/s400/sofitel+ny.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Crime Scene - Sofitel Manhattan, NYC&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Whatever happened took place at the Sofitel, one of the sleeker of New York’s upper-echelon hotels. A 32-year-old female housekeeper — according to published reports, an African immigrant — entered Strauss-Kahn’s suite to clean up, believing the guest had already departed. In her account, Strauss-Kahn emerged naked from the bathroom. She apologized and tried to leave, but Strauss-Kahn allegedly blocked her way, accosted her in the suite’s bedroom and then sexually assaulted her in the bathroom.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The housekeeper reported the alleged attack to her supervisors, but by the time police were called, Strauss-Kahn had checked out. He later called the hotel to say that he believed he had left his cellphone behind, however, and, according to published reports, a fast-thinking hotel employee told him — falsely — that the phone had been found and asked where it could be delivered. This is apparently how authorities learned he was at JFK, waiting to board an Air France flight to Paris. Airport police swooped in and made the arrest as the jet prepared to push back from the gate.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-T5rHQI7bpYc/TdNEIv6onwI/AAAAAAAACDI/ZOamelwZWTY/s1600/IN11_IMF_179484f.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="282" j8="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-T5rHQI7bpYc/TdNEIv6onwI/AAAAAAAACDI/ZOamelwZWTY/s400/IN11_IMF_179484f.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Strauss-Kahn’s arrest had immediate and far-reaching impact. The most definitive seemed to be the extinction of his political career — and with it, perhaps, the best chance the Socialist Party might have had of defeating President Nicolas Sarkozy in next year’s election. A perp-walk photo is the kind of thing no politician recovers from. Well, no politician except former D.C. mayor Marion Barry.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And the arrest came amid delicate, complicated and urgent negotiations to rescue the European Union’s most threatened economies. Strauss-Kahn was a key figure in the ongoing talks, and while others can pick up where he leaves off, the financial markets could be unnerved by his sudden absence.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Commentators in France expressed shock, outrage and embarrassment. Even if the New York allegations turn out not to be true, the incident revived memories of an admittedly improper affair that Strauss-Kahn had with a subordinate. French newspapers quickly produced stories recounting what they described as Strauss-Kahn’s long history of aggressive, obnoxious, even predatory behavior toward women.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It’s useful to be reminded that there was a time when powerful men could expect such incidents to be dismissed as misunderstandings or indiscretions or peccadilloes, not prosecuted as criminal assaults. Yes, this sounds like the age of the dinosaurs. Dominique Strauss-Kahn gives every evidence of being one."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cccccc; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Ongoing Pattern of&amp;nbsp; Sexual Misconduct at IMF&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LrXyEh1803c/TdhkfKIKYZI/AAAAAAAACEU/njEzzIi52MI/s1600/IMF%252520Headquarters.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" j8="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LrXyEh1803c/TdhkfKIKYZI/AAAAAAAACEU/njEzzIi52MI/s400/IMF%252520Headquarters.jpg" width="315" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Now that these criminal charges have been brought against Mr. Strauss-Kahn and this&amp;nbsp;story has&amp;nbsp;been exposed to the public on a global scale,&amp;nbsp;evidence is emerging of an ongoing pattern of sexual misconduct for many years on the part of several other high ranking IMF officials, with direct subordinate employees.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Most disturbing and disgusting is the fact that, unlike all US government agency and private corporation employees, apparently none of the laws protecting employees (victims) against sexual harrassment in a workplace apply to&amp;nbsp;the IMF, being that it is an "international quasi-governmental agency".&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cnbc.com/id/43106893"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Click here to read this&amp;nbsp;related article&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;, which&amp;nbsp;provides further details of what is now obvious would&amp;nbsp;amount to&amp;nbsp;criminal conduct in any other workplace environment in the United States - conveniently excluded are&amp;nbsp;these "Special status" globalist organizations, including the International Monetary Fund, The World Bank and the United Nations, itself.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;The UN is the Definition of Corruption&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YiIsoWHM-Lw/TdfBTjA00BI/AAAAAAAACEE/XCydwbdZiiI/s1600/un-corruption.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" j8="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YiIsoWHM-Lw/TdfBTjA00BI/AAAAAAAACEE/XCydwbdZiiI/s400/un-corruption.bmp" width="248" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Since its inception, UN&amp;nbsp;officials have clearly been treated as being above the law, and have taken every possible advantage of these opportunities to get away with all manner of inappropriate and illegal conduct - sexual, financial and otherwise (such as the fact that traffic violation fines, even felony-related injury traffic accidents, cannot even be given to UN officials, who hide behind their precious "diplomatic immunity").&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;All of this, of course, completely ignores&amp;nbsp;the fact that these organizations and their officials work and&amp;nbsp;reside&amp;nbsp;IN the United States, and the majority portion of their grossly inflated salaries are paid for&amp;nbsp;with money&amp;nbsp;confiscated&amp;nbsp;from&amp;nbsp;US taxpayers.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Yet, somehow the laws of the United States do not apply to these officials. Indeed, as it was already stated above in Eugene Robinson's article, if Strauss-Kahn had simply been on IMF official business at the time of&amp;nbsp;this alleged sexual assault, no criminal charges could be filed against him at all. What a sweet deal for these globalist criminals!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;With&amp;nbsp;this in mind, it would be safe for us&amp;nbsp;to assume that many UN, IMF and World Bank officials have commited numerous such crimes over the years, knowing full well that they&amp;nbsp;cannot and will not be&amp;nbsp;arrested and&amp;nbsp;prosecuted&amp;nbsp;under US laws.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-W1q32ASUXwk/TdfCA2EHXgI/AAAAAAAACEM/uoCtYW3yIbI/s1600/un-food-scandle.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="252" j8="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-W1q32ASUXwk/TdfCA2EHXgI/AAAAAAAACEM/uoCtYW3yIbI/s400/un-food-scandle.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So, if you haven't&amp;nbsp;already&amp;nbsp;arrived at this conclusion on your own, please allow me to boldly speak the words out loud - &lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;The United Nations and its affiliated partner agencies, such as the IMF and World Bank, are without a doubt the most financially corrupt organizations ever to exist on this earth.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;They would probably tell us&amp;nbsp;that we&amp;nbsp;are terribly fortunate to have the honor of&amp;nbsp;hosting them on our precious American soil and funding their every degenerate desire. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;After all, who could possibly be better qualified to finally bring about an end to national sovereignty and appoint themselves as the commanders in charge of their long&amp;nbsp;awaited&amp;nbsp;one (and only) world government -&amp;nbsp;all-powerful and accountable only to themselves?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I would personally be in favor of the UN being immediately evicted and relocated somewhere else - &lt;em&gt;anywhere else&lt;/em&gt; -&amp;nbsp;perhaps Paris, or better yet -&amp;nbsp;Beijing. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And what a joyous moment&amp;nbsp;that would be for all of us.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: #fff2cc;

text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;﻿&lt;strong&gt;So, the real question becomes, what did this individual &lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;really do&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt; to deserve the wrath of the ruling elite cult, of which he has been a member for many years? &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You have to know that when they throw one of their own "under the bus", there is a reason that does not have anything to do with any nation's laws, or whether the person raped a hotel maid...or a supermodel. It makes no difference to them.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Those things are of minor concern to the ruling elite, whose lives are defined by sexual deviance and criminal activites far more heinous than&amp;nbsp;the simple rape of a single woman. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If Mr. Strauss-Kahn were a cult member in good standing, his crimes would simply be&amp;nbsp;"cleaned up", and the victim made to disappear so quickly and quietly&amp;nbsp;that it would sicken most of us to know just how routine, efficient&amp;nbsp;and sociopathic they truly are in their methods.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thus, even if this rape allegation against Strauss-Kahn is true, you also have to know that there are literally hundreds of these degenerate wealthy members of the ruling elite cult who have done far worse, including sex crimes, murder and disposing of the "witnesses" so that they will never, ever see a courtroom, much less a prison cell - or be held accountable in any way for their crimes. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Except, of course,&amp;nbsp;by the ruling elite cult, itself.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But, what's in a name anyway?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SN5ZR_A8a3c/TdNhHSlGYDI/AAAAAAAACD0/PMxRcvF4SQs/s1600/global+citizens.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

will&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;never&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt; be issuing any arrest warrants or indictments&amp;nbsp;to prosecute globalist criminals like George Soros, as just one glaring example, for&amp;nbsp;his&amp;nbsp;countless &lt;em&gt;Financial Crimes Against Humanity&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And, just in case you might be&amp;nbsp;wondering who the victims of these financial crimes are,&amp;nbsp;please take a good, long look in the mirror.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All Original Content (C) Copyright 2011 &amp;nbsp;LVB Research, All Rights Reserved.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8470602373263017827-4249992273533944697?l=lvb-research.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lvb-research.blogspot.com/feeds/4249992273533944697/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://lvb-research.blogspot.com/2011/05/ruling-elite-imf-chief-jailed-at-rikers.html#comment-form' title='8 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8470602373263017827/posts/default/4249992273533944697'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8470602373263017827/posts/default/4249992273533944697'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lvb-research.blogspot.com/2011/05/ruling-elite-imf-chief-jailed-at-rikers.html' title='Ruling Elite IMF Chief Jailed for Rape'/><author><name>LVB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03274553336218519156</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_d3Tzjzhz9V8/TONrk3JESXI/AAAAAAAABqI/6Ke2fIvrJu0/S220/beethoven.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dtY93-y5-XA/TdNMGf3gjtI/AAAAAAAACDs/v1CCD98erbc/s72-c/dominique+strauss-khan.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470602373263017827.post-4131644776599702122</id><published>2011-05-16T21:49:00.009-07:00</published><updated>2011-05-16T22:13:01.228-07:00</updated><title type='text'>We're Sgt.

This is a non-military, non-governmental building," said Mohammed al-Mehdi, head of the civil societies council, which licenses and oversees civil groups in Libya.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The missile completely destroyed an adjoining office in the compound that houses the government's commission for children.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The force of the blast blew in windows and doors in the parent-funded school for children with Down's Syndrome and officials said it damaged an orphanage on the floor above.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"I felt sad really. I kept thinking, what are we going to do with these children?" said Ismail Seddigh, who set up the school 17 years ago after his own daughter was born with Down's.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"This is not the place we left on Thursday afternoon."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;There were no children at the school when the missiles hit early on Saturday morning, since Friday begins the weekend in Libya. Children had been due to come in on Saturday morning.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A mound of rubble was all that remained of one wing of the main building that adjoined the school, though an antenna of some kind protruded from the ruins.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Both Mehdi and Seddigh said they had assumed that the antenna on the building was there to strengthen mobile phone signals and were not aware of any other use.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In the rubble of the main building, a shredding machine packed with sliced up documents lay on its side. A fax and phone were nearby and shelves of files could be seen.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Libyan government has repeatedly said that NATO airstrikes have hurt and killed civilians but has not responded to requests by journalists to visit the hospitals, making it tough to verify casualty figures.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NATO has hit inside or near Gaddafi's compound before, or struck military or logistical sites. Saturday's government-organized visit was the first to bring journalists -- whom government minders watch closely -- to a civilian site.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Inside the school, the power had been knocked out by the strikes, the floor was wet because of a leaking pipe and desks were covered in glass and debris.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Seddigh's school prepared children with Down's Syndrome up to the age of 6 to go to normal schools, giving them speech therapy, handicrafts and sports sessions and teaching them to read and write. It handles 50 to 60 children a day.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/04/30/us-libya-school-idUSTRE73T24620110430"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(Reporting by Lin Noueihed)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/04/30/us-libya-attack-idUSTRE73T2HV20110430"&gt;The Real Target Revealed: Kill His Children and Grandchildren&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_4iJGg38gsc/TbymF3oEGXI/AAAAAAAACBk/0ZYYH-Yyjyw/s1600/libya+bombing.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="263px" j8="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_4iJGg38gsc/TbymF3oEGXI/AAAAAAAACBk/0ZYYH-Yyjyw/s400/libya+bombing.jpg" width="400px" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi survived a &lt;em&gt;NATO&lt;/em&gt; airstrike on Saturday night that killed his youngest son Saif al-Arab and three of his grandchildren, a Libyan government spokesman said.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;﻿﻿ &lt;br /&gt;﻿ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fGZNBin8E0M/Tbyd0bh5F9I/AAAAAAAACBQ/dTlZ6i6LryE/s1600/hillary-libya-arms.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="396px" j8="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fGZNBin8E0M/Tbyd0bh5F9I/AAAAAAAACBQ/dTlZ6i6LryE/s400/hillary-libya-arms.jpg" width="400px" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This witch just really makes me want to vomit...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;﻿ &lt;strong&gt;﻿﻿&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hillary Clinton says: “&lt;em&gt;We Can Arm Libyan Rebels&lt;/em&gt;”, as the &lt;em&gt;NATO&lt;/em&gt; Chief Simultaneously Warns that Al Qaeda And Hezbollah are Present Among the Libyan Rebels.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Have I mentioned this concept of &lt;a href="http://lvb-research.blogspot.com/2010/05/black-eyed-peas-imma-be-rock-that-body.html"&gt;Duplicity&lt;/a&gt; before??

strike was a "pathetic attempt...to break the spirit of the people of Tripoli and allow small numbers of terrorists to cause instability and disorder in the peaceful city."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Libyan officials earlier put the death toll at seven, but Obeidi said there were 9 dead and 18 wounded."&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

"Alasdair has looked for similar tracking code in [Google's] Android phones and couldn't find any," said Warden. "We haven't come across any instances of other phone manufacturers doing this."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Simon Davies, director of the pressure group Privacy International, said: "This is a worrying discovery. Location is one of the most sensitive elements in anyone's life – just think where people go in the evening. The existence of that data creates a real threat to privacy. The absence of notice to users or any control option can only stem from an ignorance about privacy at the design stage."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Warden and Allan point out that the file is moved onto new devices when an old one is replaced: "Apple might have new features in mind that require a history of your location, but that's our specualtion. The fact that [the file] is transferred across [to a new iPhone or iPad] when you migrate is evidence that the data-gathering isn't accidental." But they said it does not seem to be transmitted to Apple itself.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Although mobile networks already record phones' locations, it is only available to the police and other recognised organisations following a court order under the Regulation of Investigatory Power Act. Standard phones do not record location data.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MPs in 2009 criticised the search engine giant Google for its "Latitude" system, which allowed people to enable their mobile to give out details of their location to trusted contacts. At the time MPs said that Latitude "could substantially endanger user privacy", but Google pointed out that users had to specifically choose to make their data available.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9WGr7JqTcsI/Ta9xPCwekmI/AAAAAAAAB_s/eSliJxkGLAM/s1600/iphone-spy-phone.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="242" i8="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9WGr7JqTcsI/Ta9xPCwekmI/AAAAAAAAB_s/eSliJxkGLAM/s400/iphone-spy-phone.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Yes, I'd say this is &lt;em&gt;exactly &lt;/em&gt;what the iPhone is being used for.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The iPhone system, by contrast, &lt;em&gt;appears to record the data whether or not the user agrees. Apple declined to comment on why the file is created or whether it can be disabled.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Warden and Allan have set up a web page which answers questions about the file, and created a simple downloadable application to let Apple users check for themselves what location data the phone is retaining. The Guardian has confirmed that 3G-enabled devices including the iPad also retain the data and copy it to the owner's computer.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If someone were to steal an iPhone and "jailbreak" it, giving them direct access to the files it contains, they could extract the location database directly. Alternatively, anyone with direct access to a user's computer could run the application and see a visualisation of their movements. Encrypting data on the computer is one way to protect against it, though that still leaves the file on the phone.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2Rwg6TxtxBc/Ta94GPPOTYI/AAAAAAAACAY/x_hvBVTAnu8/s1600/mobilespy-box.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" i8="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2Rwg6TxtxBc/Ta94GPPOTYI/AAAAAAAACAY/x_hvBVTAnu8/s320/mobilespy-box.gif" width="275" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Just think about it...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at the security company Sophos, said: "If the data isn't required for anything, then it shouldn't store the location. And it doesn't need to keep an archive on your machine of where you've been." &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;He suggested that Apple might be hoping that it would yield data for future mobile advertising targeted by location, although he added: "I tend to subscribe to cockup rather than conspiracy on things like this – I don't think Apple is really trying to monitor where users are."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: red; font-size: large;"&gt;[ Really???

"We'd been discussing doing a visualisation of mobile data, and while Alasdair was researching into what was available, he discovered this file. At first we weren't sure how much data was there, but after we dug further and visualised the extracted data, it became clear that there was a scary amount of detail on our movements," Warden said.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;They have blogged about their discovery at O'Reilly's Radar site, noting that "why this data is stored and how Apple intends to use it — or not — are important questions that need to be explored."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The pair of data scientists have collaborated on a number of data visualisations, including a map of radiation levels in Japan for The Guardian.

From its polar orbit, it scanned the skies about one-and-a-half times while collecting images taken at four infrared wavelengths of light. It took more than 2.7 million images over the course of its mission, capturing objects ranging from faraway galaxies to asteroids relatively close to Earth. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Like other infrared telescopes, &lt;em&gt;WISE&lt;/em&gt; required coolant to chill its heat-sensitive detectors. When this frozen hydrogen coolant ran out, as expected, in early October, 2010, two of its four infrared channels were still operational. The survey was then extended for four more months, with the goal of finishing its sweep for asteroids and comets in the main asteroid belt of our solar system. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hcGi0OKyA4s/TaufkJgtMfI/AAAAAAAAB-E/M3ZDT2ad67A/s1600/Siding+Spring+comet.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="225" r6="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hcGi0OKyA4s/TaufkJgtMfI/AAAAAAAAB-E/M3ZDT2ad67A/s400/Siding+Spring+comet.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Siding Spring Comet&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The mission's nearby discoveries included 20 comets, more than 33,000 asteroids between Mars and Jupiter, and 133 near-Earth objects (NEOs), which are those asteroids and comets with orbits that come within 28 million miles (about 45 million kilometers) of Earth's path around the sun. The satellite went into hibernation in early February of this year. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Today, &lt;em&gt;WISE&lt;/em&gt; is taking the first major step in meeting its primary goal of delivering the mission's trove of objects to astronomers. Data from the first 57 percent of the sky surveyed is accessible through an online public archive. The complete survey, with improved data processing, will be made available in the spring of 2012. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A predecessor to &lt;em&gt;WISE&lt;/em&gt;, the Infrared Astronomical Satellite, served a similar role about 25 years ago, and those data are still valuable to astronomers today. Likewise, the &lt;em&gt;WISE&lt;/em&gt; legacy is expected to endure for decades. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-U1fA-jMNoKM/Taun4yTOEUI/AAAAAAAAB-U/DWuPqBm9KrA/s1600/messier+74.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" r6="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-U1fA-jMNoKM/Taun4yTOEUI/AAAAAAAAB-U/DWuPqBm9KrA/s400/messier+74.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Messier 74 Spiral Galaxy&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"We are excited that the preliminary data contain millions of newfound objects," said Fengchuan Liu, the project manager for &lt;em&gt;WISE&lt;/em&gt; at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. "But the mission is not yet over -- the real treasure is the final catalog available a year from now, which will have twice as many sources, covering the entire sky and reaching even deeper into the universe than today's release." &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Astronomers will use &lt;em&gt;WISE's&lt;/em&gt; infrared data to hunt for hidden oddities, and to study trends in large populations of known objects. Survey missions often result in the unexpected discoveries too, because they are looking everywhere in the sky rather than at known targets. Data from the mission are also critical for finding the best candidates for follow-up studies with other telescopes, including the European Space Agency's Herschel observatory, which has important NASA contributions. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"&lt;em&gt;WISE&lt;/em&gt; is providing the newest-generation 'address book' of the infrared universe with the precise location and brightness of hundreds of millions of celestial objects," said Roc Cutri, lead scientist for &lt;em&gt;WISE&lt;/em&gt; data processing at the Infrared Processing and Analysis Center at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, Calif. "&lt;em&gt;WISE&lt;/em&gt; continues the long tradition of infrared sky surveys supported by Caltech, stretching back to the 1969 Two Micron Sky Survey." &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So far, the &lt;em&gt;WISE&lt;/em&gt; mission has released dozens of colorful images of the cosmos, in which infrared light has been assigned colors we see with our eyes.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The entire collection can be seen at &lt;a href="http://wise.ssl.berkeley.edu/gallery_images.html"&gt;http://wise.ssl.berkeley.edu/gallery_images.html&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I highly recommend looking at the awesome beauty of all of these new photos taken of this incredible place that we are each a part of and live in, without&amp;nbsp;fully appreciating it most of the time.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: x-large;"&gt;Andromeda&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-clMVOAKlRNA/TaufUvf0XMI/AAAAAAAAB98/FjyJNliC0a8/s1600/Andromeda.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="222" r6="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-clMVOAKlRNA/TaufUvf0XMI/AAAAAAAAB98/FjyJNliC0a8/s400/Andromeda.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Andromeda Galaxy&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The immense Andromeda galaxy, also known as Messier 31 or simply M31, is captured in full in this new image from NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, or &lt;em&gt;WISE&lt;/em&gt;. The mosaic covers an area equivalent to more than 100 full moons, or five degrees across the sky. &lt;em&gt;WISE&lt;/em&gt; used all four of its infrared detectors to capture this picture (3.4- and 4.6-micron light is colored blue; 12-micron light is green; and 22-micron light is red). Blue highlights mature stars, while yellow and red show dust heated by newborn, massive stars.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Andromeda is the closest large galaxy to our Milky Way galaxy, and is located 2.5 million light-years from our sun. It is close enough for telescopes to spy the details of its ringed arms of new stars and hazy blue backbone of older stars. Also seen in the mosaic are two satellite galaxies, known as M32, located just a bit above Andromeda to the left of center, and the fuzzy blue M110, located below the center of the great spiral arms. These satellites are the largest of several that are gravitationally bound to Andromeda. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Andromeda galaxy is larger than our Milky Way and contains more stars, but the Milky Way is thought to perhaps have more mass due to its larger proportion of a mysterious substance called dark matter. Both galaxies belong to our so-called Local Group, a collection of more than 50 galaxies, most of which are tiny dwarf systems. In its quest to map the whole sky, &lt;em&gt;WISE&lt;/em&gt; will capture the entire Local Group.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QcE8pAXQ67g/TauzJjOpVQI/AAAAAAAAB-Y/pNi3zSRIOi8/s1600/Andromeda-blue.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" r6="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QcE8pAXQ67g/TauzJjOpVQI/AAAAAAAAB-Y/pNi3zSRIOi8/s400/Andromeda-blue.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Andromeda Blue&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This image&amp;nbsp;highlights the Andromeda galaxy's older stellar population in blue. It was taken by the shortest-wavelength camera on &lt;em&gt;WISE&lt;/em&gt;, which detects infrared light of 3.4 microns. A pronounced warp in the disk of the galaxy, the aftermath of a collision with another galaxy, can be clearly seen in the spiral arm to the upper left side of the galaxy. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-e_8ngQjo0KU/TauzbKIQ-uI/AAAAAAAAB-c/NummszB2U7c/s1600/Andromeda+dust.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" r6="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-e_8ngQjo0KU/TauzbKIQ-uI/AAAAAAAAB-c/NummszB2U7c/s400/Andromeda+dust.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Andromeda Orange&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This image highlights the dust that speckles the Andromeda galaxy's spiral arms. It shows light seen by the longest-wavelength infrared detectors on &lt;em&gt;WISE&lt;/em&gt; (12-micron light has been color coded orange, and 22-micron light, red). &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The hot dust, which is being heated by newborn stars, traces the spidery arms all the way to the center of the galaxy. Telltale signs of young stars can also be seen in the centers of Andromeda's smaller companion galaxies, M32 and M110. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: #d0e0e3;

of the&amp;nbsp;masked, hooded cult members being sexy, hot looking women. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;That momentary glitch (at least for straight guys) of&amp;nbsp;perhaps thinking, "Hey, she can torture and sacrifice me anytime" - the dark humor very much intended by me -&amp;nbsp;but that is really the point.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So, too,&amp;nbsp;is the underlying message (or &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta-communication"&gt;metacommunication&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/em&gt; that is being directed at the viewers here -&amp;nbsp;it is quite intentional. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Although it is hardly subliminal, this is exactly the kind of thing that most often slips right past the "radar" of&amp;nbsp;our conscious minds and into the subconscious "autopilot", where our morality and values are so subtly influenced, persuaded and changed&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;without us even realizing it, much of the time.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6fa8dc;

In a recent interview, he said this about the 'No Love' video:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Conceptually, 'No Love' is about temptation and seduction," Racco told &lt;em&gt;Noisecreep&lt;/em&gt;. "The imagery is metaphoric. The poker game, the dance, the beautiful women, the masquerade. It's more of a cautionary tale rather than a celebratory one, about the dangers of game playing, anger, lust and resentment and how they can lead to the dark side of eroticism and power, which can become a trap; the temptations offered by the music business. Sort of like a public service."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hmmm......a public service and cautionary tale, huh??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nice try dude - or should I say, "&lt;em&gt;Hey man, nice shot&lt;/em&gt;"?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Final Thoughts&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pezOjQ1XRtQ/TZl-pJYM0vI/AAAAAAAAB8U/zB31jo-Dg6U/s1600/slavesacrifice.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="222px" r6="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pezOjQ1XRtQ/TZl-pJYM0vI/AAAAAAAAB8U/zB31jo-Dg6U/s400/slavesacrifice.jpg" width="400px" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Long story short - love the song - but the video...not so much.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Please don't mistake me for a Puritan or prude of any sort, because although I am Christian in my beliefs and am quite aware that a sin is a sin, I do know that videos&amp;nbsp;and movies&amp;nbsp;can have sexual content and still be very well done, as well as being marketable -&amp;nbsp;knowing that &lt;em&gt;sex does sell&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;That part is understood, and I consider that a given in entertainment, like it or not.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gm__1EkZOns/TZmLJojET-I/AAAAAAAAB8s/CUayMJjo5Ak/s1600/slavegirl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="222px" r6="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gm__1EkZOns/TZmLJojET-I/AAAAAAAAB8s/CUayMJjo5Ak/s400/slavegirl.jpg" width="400px" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;However, when you cloak sexuality in masked, robed, hooded cult rituals and sacrifices (and gas masks), then I just have to say, &lt;em&gt;"REALLY???".&lt;/em&gt; That is supposed to be sexually cool??&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;To blur the line between sex/pleasure and occult rituals, forcible enslavement of victims and coercing them with some type of metaphoric drug - the "gas" from the mask, so that they will then be&amp;nbsp;a willing slave that no longer&amp;nbsp;resists?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Seriously??? I don't think so, guys.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It has become very clear now that the price of&amp;nbsp;financial backing from major record labels basically involves this "bargain" for&amp;nbsp;the recording artists: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"You do what you want to with the music (and that is&amp;nbsp;true only IF the artists even happen to be the actual songwriters, which in this case, Filter, they are, but&amp;nbsp;it is&amp;nbsp;getting pretty rare now)&amp;nbsp;but WE will show the masses what we want them to see in the videos - regardless of whether it has anything to do with the actual meaning of the songs".&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jZMTsvb-SD8/TZl8KUKAJhI/AAAAAAAAB8M/-c56ANa9jEc/s1600/gasmaskorgy3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="220px" r6="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jZMTsvb-SD8/TZl8KUKAJhI/AAAAAAAAB8M/-c56ANa9jEc/s400/gasmaskorgy3.jpg" width="400px" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ok, so maybe Mark Racco was&amp;nbsp;sincere about this video being done as a "cautionary tale" and a "public service" (in his own mind?), and maybe he wasn't. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But, in reality, what I find most telling about this video is that he (or the record execs) chose to represent the lust and temptation of "beautiful women" as masked, hooded cult members dragging a beautiful woman against her will to be "sacrificed", presumably as a result of this "game" they are playing.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZXDCiJxoJG0/TZl_xTGQdbI/AAAAAAAAB8Y/eBzQKBiBsCE/s1600/eyes_wide__shut__kubrick_illuminati.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="303px" r6="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZXDCiJxoJG0/TZl_xTGQdbI/AAAAAAAAB8Y/eBzQKBiBsCE/s400/eyes_wide__shut__kubrick_illuminati.jpg" width="400px" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;There is no doubt that this does serve as a very&amp;nbsp;accurate depiction of the dark side of the music business -&amp;nbsp;quite literally in fact -&amp;nbsp;as well as the servitude and enslavement of many an entertainer. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RHrG9md9FD0/TZmAZ3JwM9I/AAAAAAAAB8c/j6DRACHomOU/s1600/endingthegame.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="220px" r6="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RHrG9md9FD0/TZmAZ3JwM9I/AAAAAAAAB8c/j6DRACHomOU/s400/endingthegame.jpg" width="400px" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In fairness,&amp;nbsp;we do see the singer becoming angry and throwing the&amp;nbsp;table over - in essence, refusing to&amp;nbsp;continue "playing the game". &amp;nbsp;Good for him.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We also see that when the other bandmembers are dragged away from the table by the mostly naked&amp;nbsp;cult members, they don't really look too happy about it, and show signs of protest.

is called &lt;em&gt;Rise n' Shine&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It references Daniel and his prophecies and interpretation of the dream of King Nebuchadnezzar, who was deeply troubled by a dream he had -&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;so&amp;nbsp;troubled that he could no longer sleep&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;He could not remember anything about the dream, except that it disturbed him to his very core. The King made it his mission in life to find anyone who could tell him his dream, and give him the interpretation of its meaning.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Many astrologers, sorcerers, magicians and Chaldeans&amp;nbsp;arrived and attempted to give this King answers in order to gain favor with him, but soon were&amp;nbsp;all proven to be frauds, and held to be given the sentence of death. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Only Daniel could provide the King the answers he sought -&amp;nbsp;to know what the dream was, and also to know what it meant.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Daniel not only gave King Nebuchadnezzar his answers,&amp;nbsp;but he gave&amp;nbsp;all the glory for his knowledge to God, a Living God - not the King's god,&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Bel&lt;/em&gt;,&amp;nbsp;significantly - which humbled the King, for he had now&amp;nbsp;seen for himself&amp;nbsp;that only this man, Daniel, who believed so strongly and completely in his Living God, could provide him the answers he wanted&amp;nbsp;and needed so badly.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Because the matter was revealed to Daniel he went unto Arioch, chief of the executioners, and told him not to destroy the "wise men" (sorcerers), but to bring him in before the king so he could give him the interpretation. So, the "wise men" were saved because of the man of God. The only reason why the wicked gain any blessings is because of the presence of the righteous in God. (&lt;em&gt;Genesis 18:26-33, Acts 16:25-26; 27:22-24).&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-ScoW29Htk7s/TWncvOr4zxI/AAAAAAAAB1M/5yW7X7nRgHs/s1600/danielcyrus.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="305" l6="true" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-ScoW29Htk7s/TWncvOr4zxI/AAAAAAAAB1M/5yW7X7nRgHs/s400/danielcyrus.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I'm sure that many of you are very familiar with all of this and the rest of The Book of Daniel, but for those who want to learn more, &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.danielbibleprophecy.org/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I recommend that&amp;nbsp;you spend some dedicated study time at this excellent site&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In addition to the references in this song&amp;nbsp;to Daniel and his dream showing him "what's yet to come" (in the latter days), there are many other Biblical references within the three parts of &lt;em&gt;"Everything Under the Sun"&lt;/em&gt; -&amp;nbsp;the title&amp;nbsp;itself being a reference to &lt;em&gt;Ecclesiastes 3:1-8&lt;/em&gt;,&amp;nbsp;"To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven", and other verses.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Other&amp;nbsp;prominent Biblical ideas on display in this piece&amp;nbsp;include:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-nDC7HfatJLI/TWnk4mgdSEI/AAAAAAAAB1Q/EVpW9TQkzCg/s1600/Ecclesiastes1_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" l6="true" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-nDC7HfatJLI/TWnk4mgdSEI/AAAAAAAAB1Q/EVpW9TQkzCg/s400/Ecclesiastes1_2.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"All is Vanity",&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;also from &lt;em&gt;Ecclesiastes.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"Falling short in the end" - &lt;em&gt;(Romans 3:23);&lt;/em&gt; "For all have sinned, and&amp;nbsp;fall short of the glory of God."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-KmqyFMlZgKs/TWnl9BI5vCI/AAAAAAAAB1U/pIaIxrrqXbY/s1600/sheep.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="267" l6="true" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-KmqyFMlZgKs/TWnl9BI5vCI/AAAAAAAAB1U/pIaIxrrqXbY/s400/sheep.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"One more sheep has just gone astray" -&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;(Isaiah 53:6);&lt;/em&gt; "All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-7vvIZRVVNOk/TWr2xF0HPEI/AAAAAAAAB2Y/hU3S9kUj2Jg/s1600/THYKINGDOMCOME.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" l6="true" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-7vvIZRVVNOk/TWr2xF0HPEI/AAAAAAAAB2Y/hU3S9kUj2Jg/s400/THYKINGDOMCOME.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"Heavenly Reality"&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;﻿ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"This peace I seek till thy kingdom comes" - &lt;em&gt;(Matthew 6:10)&lt;/em&gt; "Thy kingdom come.

It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"Rightwing extremists are harnessing this historical election as a recruitment tool. Many rightwing extremists are antagonistic toward the new presidential administration and its perceived stance on a range of issues, including immigration and citizenship, the expansion of social programs to minorities, and restrictions on firearms ownership and use. Rightwing extremists are increasingly galvanized by these concerns and leverage them as drivers for recruitment. From the 2008 election timeframe to the present, rightwing extremists have capitalized on related racial and political prejudices in expanded propaganda campaigns, thereby reaching out to a wider audience of potential sympathizers."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_d3Tzjzhz9V8/TVIz0f1UbfI/AAAAAAAABy8/SWuKjfQ33ZU/s1600/bigsis-dhs.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" h5="true" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_d3Tzjzhz9V8/TVIz0f1UbfI/AAAAAAAABy8/SWuKjfQ33ZU/s400/bigsis-dhs.bmp" width="272" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"Rightwing extremist chatter on the Internet continues to focus on the economy, the perceived loss of U.S. jobs in the manufacturing and construction sectors, and home foreclosures. Anti-Semitic extremists attribute these losses to a deliberate conspiracy conducted by a cabal of Jewish “financial elites.” These “accusatory” tactics are employed to draw new recruits into rightwing extremist groups and further radicalize those already subscribing to extremist beliefs. DHS/I&amp;amp;A assesses this trend is likely to accelerate if the economy is perceived to worsen."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"DHS/I&amp;amp;A assesses that rightwing extremists will attempt to recruit and radicalize returning veterans in order to exploit their skills and knowledge derived from military training and combat. These skills and knowledge have the potential to boost the capabilities of extremists—including lone wolves or small terrorist cells—to carry out violence. The willingness of a small percentage of military personnel to join extremist groups during the 1990s because they were disgruntled, disillusioned, or suffering from the psychological effects of war is being replicated today."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"DHS/I&amp;amp;A will be working with its state and local partners over the next several months to ascertain with greater regional specificity the rise in rightwing extremist activity in the United States, with a particular emphasis on the political, economic, and social factors that drive rightwing extremist radicalization."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

Remy takes her to a motel room, where he stays with her as she goes through drug&amp;nbsp;withdrawal. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_d3Tzjzhz9V8/TUOMK8FDwRI/AAAAAAAABv0/o169HoNI-7I/s1600/repo-men-image-5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="266" s5="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_d3Tzjzhz9V8/TUOMK8FDwRI/AAAAAAAABv0/o169HoNI-7I/s400/repo-men-image-5.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After Jake interrupts&amp;nbsp;Remy's attempt to falsify their artiforg returns&amp;nbsp;back at the Union's headquarters, Remy leaves unassailed by Jake, returns to Beth, and&amp;nbsp;the two leave to live in the outskirts.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The pair live, for a time, in relative harmony. Remy uses an old typewriter that Beth had found to type up a narrative of his life, and his subsequent conversion. Just as&amp;nbsp;he finishes typing, a repo man arrives to repossess his heart, but as he approaches Remy, he falls through a hole in the floor that Remy had covered&amp;nbsp;with a rug as a trap, which sends the repo man&amp;nbsp;crashing to the floor below, knocked unconscious.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Then Beth, who was hiding behind the door, also falls when the floor collapses underneath her, reinjuring her leg. From above, Remy sees the repo man coming, preparing to shoot Beth with his tazer weapon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remy drops the heavy typewriter onto him through the floor, crushing his head, to save Beth and himself. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_d3Tzjzhz9V8/TUJd1SGMZpI/AAAAAAAABvU/0w-Gq1GkZjk/s1600/Repo-men-review.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="288" s5="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_d3Tzjzhz9V8/TUJd1SGMZpI/AAAAAAAABvU/0w-Gq1GkZjk/s400/Repo-men-review.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Using the repo man's vehicle, Remy sneaks back into his former workplace to obtain a pair of devices that will fool the organ scanners used by repo men. He attempts to force Frank (&lt;em&gt;The Union's CEO&lt;/em&gt;)&amp;nbsp;to clear his account, only to discover that due to his previous aborted attempt, all accounts can now only be cleared back at The Union's central office.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_d3Tzjzhz9V8/TUJjRLEbqAI/AAAAAAAABvg/sRzfjk75Wqw/s1600/remybeth.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="266" s5="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_d3Tzjzhz9V8/TUJjRLEbqAI/AAAAAAAABvg/sRzfjk75Wqw/s400/remybeth.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Remy and Beth attempt to flee the country at the airport, but are taken away by security when it is discovered that Beth's prosthetic knee was damaged due to their earlier encounter with the repo man. Once inside, they are forced to fight against airport security and yet another pair of repo men. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remy and Beth&amp;nbsp;are able to kill or incapacitate all of them, and while escaping, they come face to face - through&amp;nbsp;impenetrable safety glass -&amp;nbsp;with Jake, who has now been assigned the&amp;nbsp;account to repossess Remy's artificial heart. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The pair head to a black market surgeon, where Beth's knee is replaced. After the procedure, the two are stopped by Jake, who has tracked them&amp;nbsp;down. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A bitter fight ensues, during which Jake reveals that it was he who rigged the defibrillator unit to malfunction at Remy's fateful and final artiforg repossession, which caused the electroshock incident that made Remy's heart replacement necessary in the first place. Jake&amp;nbsp;planned this to ensure that Remy would have to keep his&amp;nbsp;repo man&amp;nbsp;job, so that they could both get promoted together. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The two engage in a furious fight, but Jake gains the upper hand and knocks Remy unconscious by hitting him in the head with a heavy steel chain and hook.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_d3Tzjzhz9V8/TUJjqoj_QII/AAAAAAAABvk/M2gYdtE9j6Q/s1600/repo_men-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="248" s5="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_d3Tzjzhz9V8/TUJjqoj_QII/AAAAAAAABvk/M2gYdtE9j6Q/s400/repo_men-2.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remy is awakened by Beth, and as they escape a raid by The Union's repo men, they are pulled into a safe house by an underground network of artiforg refugees.

After passing his story to his son during a brief meeting on a train, the pair travel to The Union's headquarters, hoping to remove themselves from the system. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Remy and Beth are pursued throughout the building, and after an intense battle against Remy's former coworkers, they arrive at the &lt;em&gt;Pink Door&lt;/em&gt;, the main database for the Union. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_d3Tzjzhz9V8/TUZK4jLHaGI/AAAAAAAABxQ/jl8hVEjDs48/s1600/scanartiforg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="187" s5="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_d3Tzjzhz9V8/TUZK4jLHaGI/AAAAAAAABxQ/jl8hVEjDs48/s400/scanartiforg.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_d3Tzjzhz9V8/TUZLC5PJ3QI/AAAAAAAABxU/q_pIL79MENY/s1600/eye.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" s5="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_d3Tzjzhz9V8/TUZLC5PJ3QI/AAAAAAAABxU/q_pIL79MENY/s400/eye.jpg" width="268" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After scanning Beth's prosthetic eye, they are able to seal themselves inside the data center, just as Jake and Frank arrive. Once inside, they discover that the server does not have any interface except for a scanner. Remy realizes that the only way to remove themselves from the system is to repo their artiforgs. Remy and Beth cut themselves open in order to use the scanner internally, to clear their accounts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_d3Tzjzhz9V8/TUOdcLKxE2I/AAAAAAAABwU/i9DyJ90aXdA/s1600/forrest.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" s5="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_d3Tzjzhz9V8/TUOdcLKxE2I/AAAAAAAABwU/i9DyJ90aXdA/s400/forrest.jpg" width="266" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jake and Frank are able to&amp;nbsp;gain entry to&amp;nbsp;the data center through the use of an artificial organ, and see Remy trying desperately to resuscitate Beth, who has stopped breathing during the process. Jake asks Remy if she was worth all the hardship and pain that he has put himself through, which he confirms - yes, she was.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_d3Tzjzhz9V8/TUZEsHZi7gI/AAAAAAAABxE/sy6PtQ2coZ8/s1600/organ-entry.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="171" s5="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_d3Tzjzhz9V8/TUZEsHZi7gI/AAAAAAAABxE/sy6PtQ2coZ8/s400/organ-entry.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_d3Tzjzhz9V8/TUOkMlUPD7I/AAAAAAAABwc/7g-a8XsaGOQ/s1600/vaultexplodes2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="225" s5="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_d3Tzjzhz9V8/TUOkMlUPD7I/AAAAAAAABwc/7g-a8XsaGOQ/s400/vaultexplodes2.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Frank pulls a gun to kill Remy, but Jake then turns on his employer, stabbing him with a knife. Jake then assists Remy in reviving Beth, after which he deposits two explosives inside the organ return unit, which is like those air tubes&amp;nbsp;in the drive-thru lane at the bank. The explosion destroys The Union's mainframe, wiping all the client account records out of the system.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_d3Tzjzhz9V8/TUZBn6UT6UI/AAAAAAAABxA/UH8o_alxFts/s1600/judelaw-beach.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="283" s5="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_d3Tzjzhz9V8/TUZBn6UT6UI/AAAAAAAABxA/UH8o_alxFts/s400/judelaw-beach.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The scene now shifts to Remy, who&amp;nbsp;is&amp;nbsp;shown on a tropical beach, enjoying his freedom with Beth and Jake. His text from earlier in the film has been published into a book, &lt;em&gt;'The Repossession Mambo"&lt;/em&gt; - a joke mentioned earlier in the film, which refers to the seizure-like movements of repo victims after they've been cut open and lay there&amp;nbsp;struggling&amp;nbsp;as they die. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remy turns to look at Jake, but now the background glitches, flickers and incoherent voices&amp;nbsp;are heard. We are now shown Remy lying on a stretcher, with wide, vacant, comatose eyes, surrounded by paramedics and his nemesis, Jake. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You see, in reality, Remy sustained permanent, traumatic brain injuries when Jake hit him on the head with the metal hook and chain during their fight. This plot twist probably alludes to the way Remy narrates parts of the story earlier in the film, mentioning that he has been knocked out four times in his life. This last one being the fifth, but which he would never remember to tell about, with his brain all but destroyed.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_d3Tzjzhz9V8/TUZIPB-P-uI/AAAAAAAABxM/JKmZJRxaBHQ/s1600/forrest.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="176" s5="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_d3Tzjzhz9V8/TUZIPB-P-uI/AAAAAAAABxM/JKmZJRxaBHQ/s400/forrest.png" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Somehow, Jake,&amp;nbsp;out of guilt and remorse (quite ironic for a sociopath) for having killed his friend (or&amp;nbsp;his brain, anyway), has paid off Remy's debt to The Union and placed him on life support equipment, complete with an advanced M-5 Neural Network computer - allowing him to live the rest of his "life" in an artificial, virtual reality "dream".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beth is still alive but unconscious, and when questioned by the paramedics about what to do with her, Jake replies that he will "take care of her". This pivotal scene shows us that the second half of the film was entirely an artificial construct of Remy's comatose, neural net, virtual existence. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Jake then finds Remy's manuscript, which he greets with a bitter chuckle, as his former partner is wheeled away&amp;nbsp;by the paramedics, presumably to spend the rest of his days hooked up to life support machines,&amp;nbsp;imprisoned in the artificial "consciousness" of the M-5 neural net machine.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_d3Tzjzhz9V8/TUJkZ1-C1WI/AAAAAAAABvs/StNFcCRmXlk/s1600/936full-repo-men-poster.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" s5="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_d3Tzjzhz9V8/TUJkZ1-C1WI/AAAAAAAABvs/StNFcCRmXlk/s400/936full-repo-men-poster.jpg" width="268" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The film ends with The Union's always ruthless CEO, Frank, delivering his usual sales pitch in a Union advert in the real world, showing us that nothing has changed at all&amp;nbsp;- it's&amp;nbsp;business as usual,&amp;nbsp;and highly profitable, in this very dark and&amp;nbsp;revealing vision of a future Transhumanist world.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then our view&amp;nbsp;shifts back to the false reality of Remy - who we now realize is comatose and not having any fun at all in&amp;nbsp;true reality - where he is relaxing in the sunshine on the beach with his friends. Jake hands Remy a lovely tropical drink, saying, "A little fruit, for the fruit?" - a cruel double entendre, being that his former friend&amp;nbsp;is now, for all practical purposes, a 'vegetable'. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Remy leans back, looks down at Beth walking beside the water, sips his tropical drink, smiles and laughs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The End.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc0000;

text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This scenario involves much more than just the technological advances necessary to create artificial&amp;nbsp;organs, but the&amp;nbsp;socio-political aspects of our world that are taking shape, even&amp;nbsp;as I write this.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Notably, the&amp;nbsp;hostile takeover of the entire American healthcare system by a dictatorial few in government who camouflage their socialist designs of dominance and control&amp;nbsp;over us in benevolent sheep's clothing of "affordable healthcare" for the masses.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By its very nature, government&amp;nbsp;has no other option than to restrict and limit&amp;nbsp;both the quality and quantity of healthcare services&amp;nbsp;provided, simply because&amp;nbsp;it is impossible to give so many people "the very best" of anything - much less something as expensive as advanced medical care.&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The other key aspect of this&amp;nbsp;is unrestrained corporate greed, which is obviously a major concern, although I would see this dark vision of the future being much more likely under the&amp;nbsp;boot of government force -&amp;nbsp;as is always the&amp;nbsp;desire of&amp;nbsp;evil tyrants masquerading as benevolent leaders of the people -&amp;nbsp;than simply occurring out of&amp;nbsp;purely&amp;nbsp;corporate efforts. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Yet, Gibson's pioneering work very accurately painted this&amp;nbsp;portrait of a dystopian future, complete with an internet-addicted and dependent world, cowboy hacker data thieves vying for power against the corporate/government alliance of tyranny, and plenty of high-tech body part replacements and genetic engineering tricks to make even the most die-hard (pun very intended) Transhumanists drool.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

and how it would actually occur in reality,&amp;nbsp;is that &lt;em&gt;only the elite few will be eligible or able to receive these&amp;nbsp;miraculous advances in life-extending technology -&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;which is not a big stretch if you look at the here and now, and simply extrapolate that out a few decades. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The rich and powerful will control the flow and availability of technological advancements -&amp;nbsp;medical and otherwise -&amp;nbsp;and that, in and of itself, will leave the overwhelming majority of the rest of us on the outside looking in, able only to envy and dream of having the magnificent toys and medical advancements available to the wealthy, elite ruling class. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You can be sure that they won't be shedding any tears&amp;nbsp;over how unfair it is for the rest of us.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

You, me...all of us. There is no getting around it, and&amp;nbsp;allowing ourselves to entertain such delusions of artificially delaying the inevitable - and it IS inevitable - is not&amp;nbsp;a good&amp;nbsp;coping strategy. In fact, it's not really a strategy at all, but rather, simply an illusion, and delusional at its core.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Our&amp;nbsp;lives will be so much better spent enjoying&amp;nbsp;them as much as possible, and fulfilling our responsibilities to our Creator who gave us life and the freewill to enjoy it as we choose- those responsibilities include&amp;nbsp;learning all of the things we need to learn in preparation for what comes next - outside the boundaries of this flesh we&amp;nbsp;temporarily inhabit. Learning to be kind and loving, and willing to care about so much more than just ourselves, and self-serving desires.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;What we truly are is not what we see in the mirror.&lt;/em&gt; We are not the sum total of our thoughts, or the electrical impluses sizzling through&amp;nbsp;the synapses so brilliantly designed within the lumps of grey matter in our primitive skulls. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We are so much more than these physical things, and even more still than these selfish monsters we call egos that hide within us; wanting only&amp;nbsp;what they want, seeking only&amp;nbsp;their own pleasure&amp;nbsp;at the expense&amp;nbsp;and neglect of others, and avoiding&amp;nbsp;anything&amp;nbsp;which may cause them pain or discomfort.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What we truly are, &lt;em&gt;in spirit&lt;/em&gt;, is at war with the ego,&amp;nbsp;which could correctly be called "&lt;em&gt;the devil inside&lt;/em&gt;" each one of us. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What we truly are inside is so much more beautiful, loving and caring than what we can comprehend just yet, because we are trapped within this flesh and stuck with this "roommate" that is the ego, which constantly&amp;nbsp;works to convince us, often very successfully, that it IS us.&amp;nbsp;But it is not us.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #ffd966; font-size: large;"&gt;Self-Awareness&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_d3Tzjzhz9V8/TUZmX3iFlmI/AAAAAAAABxY/GJFiHudMLWc/s1600/trees.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" s5="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_d3Tzjzhz9V8/TUZmX3iFlmI/AAAAAAAABxY/GJFiHudMLWc/s400/trees.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Self-awareness is the awareness that one exists as an individual being. Without self-awareness, the self perceives and accepts the thoughts that are occurring to be&lt;em&gt; who the self is&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Self-awareness gives one the option or choice to choose thoughts being thought rather than simply thinking the thoughts that are stimulated from the cumulative events leading up to the circumstances of the moment (i.e., "&lt;em&gt;autopilot mode&lt;/em&gt;", or ego-driven "knee jerk" reactions).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Self-awareness is the beginning of breaking free from this "&lt;em&gt;autopilot mode&lt;/em&gt;" of&amp;nbsp;existence, where one can start to see that there are more important things in life than themselves, ideally developing to the point of understanding that, in the view of God, our Creator,&amp;nbsp;everything and everyone is just as important and beautiful as one's own self. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It is simply the nature of &lt;em&gt;humility&lt;/em&gt;, which is, of course, the opposite of &lt;em&gt;vanity&lt;/em&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;
