Prison Planet.com » Infowars Confronts Bill Gates on Paralyzing Vaccine Program in India

What a skew if site! Infowars is too too extreme! Who funds this rubbish?

This agenda of some news broadcasters, such as prison planet and infowars, who must have loads and loads of money, is pretty suspect. Prison planet sponsors stuff that begs belief being so far off the wall as to be crass destructive sensationalism. The less time one spends viewing their words the less time one will spend in psyche wards!

Have a look and you decide. Essentially, Bill gates is put forward as some form of monster! That is totally inconsistent with reasoned logic of normal people, but unfortunately weak minds and the community of thinkers with problem imagining sink holes gravitate towards irrational concepts such as put forward by infowars, whoever they represent? Nevertheless, it is important to question even the best contributors to positive developments in societies!

Bill Gates' classroom of the future - Mar. 8, 2013

Bill thinks there is a role for technology, but his vision suits technology training more than the social sciences which require loads of persuasion, interaction and discussion. My vision is somewhat different from Bill's. I would see the students giving lectures with the prof as a leader and have greater two way communication with loads of people interacting! There would be more group projects and shared critique as in an arts class. In the end it is courses for horses!

Facebook to announce huge changes to newsfeed

It will be interesting to watch Facebook evolve.  

Up until now Facebook has enabled bridges between people who wanted information about specific people, but Facebook wants to provide general information that one would normally obtain elsewhere.  That's precisely where people may want to go to get their information about people they know ... elsewhere. 

Facebook is fine when it's a quiet village, but as a town or city, it may not be a pleasant experience. I for one prefer the nuances of an information village rather than the city, but I know young people prefer the opportunities of the information city... the hustle and bustle of activity. Shame how innovation accidentally destroys the beauty of past or less developed arrangements? 


Sketches from scratches:  http://Woohs.blogspot.com   

Rand Paul instinctively filibusters possible nomination of John Brennan for CIA director

It's about the use of remote flying machines and devices that can kill selectively on behalf of the US government. 

Paul's stand is definitely more symbolic than real. There is no way America's CIA will not explore the uses of drones whether authorised or not.  Best to have a man do it out in the open than surreptitiously.  The hummingbirds and bugs are already developed and flying. 

You might not notice them, but they are already at work. They are smart. They are directly linked to human thought and they are motivated to destroy what they consider to be evil. They are / will be directed by a nominated delegate of an elected commander in chief. Welcome to a chaotic new world driven by technologies you can't even imagine.

A new age of technology to kill people is pretty frightening. It means weapons of warfare increasingly have that smart military capability of targeting enemy leaders instead of the mass of average ground soldiers. 

Psychological implications are as yet unknown. 

The logic of war is almost always a sub optimal path, insane, stupid, and unnecessary. People make it a reality by adopting overly aggressive postures when competitive negotiation and democratic process could achieve more satisfactory outcomes. It is the irrepressible march of technology and innovation that causes war when the redistribution of advantages and disadvantages pits people against each other.

We all need to step back and realise that changes in our own attitudes can be destructive. 

We need to seek technologies that are safe and that bind people to common causes for peaceful coexistence, support tolerance of our many differences and recognise people's right to share without bias in the wealth that life and peaceful activities can generate!

In my humble opinion...

Justin Trudeau's ethical problem | rabble.ca

Is in the mind of the beholder... Trudeau is no Putin!

It's about accepting speaking fees from cash strapped charities. It's not illegal, but at least one writer (not me) believes it to be unethical! 

In my view, it's a probably more a question of sour grapes... 

Yes! If you give something for free they don't value it! My logic is that it's important to charge money for any and all services one makes to a community. The real problem is that people do not know how to make money, have a victim ethic, are dependent on a state that provides too much for them, and never develop the inner drive to know what to pay for and what not to pay for. Too much in the media we pay for, but is rubbish. Better to pay a politician to speak good sense and be value for money! Call him a crook if his speeches are useless or he tells lies!

A person's time, especially that of Justin Trudeau is not free especially as he is not representing the whole country as yet!

Why do we have to accept that the cell phone studies are inconclusive when like many authors those in North America have more blinders on than the American network news broadcasters?

We should be thinking to about what will cause the demise of natural beauty. Genetic mutations arose on earth from lower levels of radiation than presently are human made! We are flying into the future without a gene or epigene pilot to guide us. 

Humans wiped out loads of natural life with bad agricultural practices. Now humans seem determined to wipe out health all together!

The Internet User's Best Kept Secret

Sketches from scratches is a provocative blogspot that has grown out of the Wuh Lax experience. It is eclectic, which means that it might consider just about anything from the simple to the extremely difficult. A scratch can be something that is troubling me or a short line on paper. From a scratch comes a verbal sketch or image sketch of the issue or subject. Other sites have other stuff that should really be of interest to the broad reader. I try to develop themes, but variety often comes before depth. ... more!
