I'M FOREVER BLOWING BUBBLES
In
the 18th century a tulip-bulb could cost you 6 to 7000
guilders. An amount of money, you could buy a nice house for. This
was at the end of a period of speculation and collective greed. The
market-value exceeded the intrinsic value of the product many times.
The
market collapsed, the bubble exploded and many people did loose a lot
of money. The same happened in England, where the stock of
railway-companies only seemed to rise. When the railway-stocks
crashed, many investors, especially the private one, remained empty
handed.
Economy
is filled with bubbles. In the last century bio-technology was hot.
New companies drew lots of eager investors, who all expected big
profits. Everything went well, untill the results were meager and
the money went elsewhere.
The
Western economy is in crisis, because in 2008 the next bubble
exploded; the house- and real estate market collapsed. Speculation
and a belief in eternal growth had driven prices through the ceiling.
On the other hand houses, appartments and office-buildings became
unaffordable for the general public or stayed empty because of the
stagnating economy. Banks and investors are in very big trouble, so
are private owners. Prices are going down. This means for
house-owners, that their mortgage is actual higher, than the market
value.
Banks
and investors will have to take enormous losses. The property they
own is sometimes even worth nothing (a brandnew airport, that is
never used). A small Dutch bank is slowly going under, because the
estate-division is bankrupt.
But
the next bubble is about to burst. It's called: the dot.com-bubble.
In recent years dot.com-companies, like Microsoft, Apple, Yahoo,
Google and many, many more, have made a colossal amount of money,
while delivering a “virtual reality”, which experts predict, is
losing (economic) ground. While almost everybody is expecting the
dot.com-bubble to inflate, the next one is gaining momentum. When you
want to make money in the nearby fruture, you have to invest “green”.
If you want to keep the money, you have “to leave the building”
at the right moment.

People & Power - America's prison problem
The US locks up more people than any other country in the world, spending over $80bn each year to keep some two million prisoners behind bars. Over the past three decades, tough sentencing laws have contributed to a doubling of the country's prison population, with laws like the 'Three Strikes and You're Out' mandating life sentences for a wide range of crimes.

Reincarnation is the religious or philosophical concept that the soul or spirit, after biological death, begins a new life in a new body that may be human, animal or spiritual depending on the moral quality of the previous life's actions. This doctrine is a central tenet of the Indian religions[1] and is a belief that was held by such historic figures as Pythagoras, Plato and Socrates. It is also a common belief of pagan religions such as Druidism, Spiritism, Theosophy, and Eckankar and is found in many tribal societies around the world, in places such as Siberia, West Africa, North America, and Australia.[2]

FRAUD
The
New York Stock Echange (owner of rhe Amsterdam SE) has been caught in
the act. The act of fraud, bigtime.
What
did they do. Traders react when the data, they use, fluctuate. The
faster you react, the more you possibly gain (and others loose).
The
NYSE offered special clients a view “into the future”. They
received the actual data about 4 seconds before regulars traders
received them. That does not seem much, but because trading is
highly computerized, several hundreds of transactions can be made,
with this foreknowledge. This story surfaced about september 2012 and
it is only scratching ther surface. Computerized trading, uses
algorithms to make choises to sell or buy, and touches all trading,
of which 40% is completely automated. Real money-machines. But
algorithms are getting increasingly complicated and have a tendency
towards chaos. In one case 80% of a company's liquidity, evaporated
in a couple of seconds. There is more to come, but it is time to
occupy Wallstreet and bring the fraud and the lies into the open.
It's not that strange, that bankers and investment-managers earn
hundreds of millions. They are payed to cover up this mess.
In
Holland there once was a (and is) State Lottery. Sounds safe and they
advertized, that a big percentage of the incoming money, payed for
by the participants, would be divided among them, by chance. The
Management of the State Lottery used a very profitable algorithm.
Tickets, who were not sold (sometimes millions) were not taken out,
but still could be “a lucky number”. In that case, the owners,
the State Lottery, cashed the price. That's not a lottery, but it is
pure (State) fraud! It reminds me of a political meeting, where also
a lottery was held (socialist and ufological books and pamflets). Not
all tickets were sold, the organization had expected much more
visitors. The owner of the pub bought the remaining ones and won most
of the prices.

ALL ROADS LEAD TO JERUSALEM
Houses
explode, fighter-jets almost touching the buildings, a city in ruins,
in which hundreds of kids and young men, hide. Where are they hiding
for? They are hiding for enormous “alien-looking” bulldozers,
colossal tanks, armored cars and lots of military and police. When
the youth have a chance, they sling stones or even sand at this army,
who are destroying their country and future. A 7-year old boy is
chased by 5 police-officers and finally caught, arrested and dragged
back to a patrol-car. This goes on till dawn. People get hurt and
people get shot, every day.
This
is just a day in a life in the Gaza-strip (or the Golan-heights,
Westbank and Southern Lebanon and even Syria). When evening falls
desperados shoot rockets across the border. The streets are filled
with people and they carry around green flags . In the central
market place thousands of people gather. The air fills with songs of
hate, hate against the Jews, hate against the state of Israel.
Preachers, teachers and speakers fill the heads of the young with
hatred , martyrdom and a brilliant future. People get extatic and as
in a trance, start dancing and shouting. They promise their leaders
to march to Jerusalem. This ritual is happening almost every evening.
During the day-time the young start gathering, which leads to
accumulating anger, throwing stones and tanks chasing teenagers down
the sandy streets. Both rituals go on for years now. But David does
not have a chance against a modern-day Goliath. Slowly, step bij
step, the world of the Palestinians is shrinking, the pressure is
rising and the local tensions will soon explode. The theological and
geo-political indoctrination, on both sides, has lead to a complete
standstill in local development (mental). For some youngsters
martyrdom is an option, especially if your family will be well looked
after. Israel is feeling more and more threatened. They have nuclear
bombs and will use them, when they think it is necessary. Netanjahu,
the Israelian prime-minister, is warning for Iran's nuclear threat.
Is
this threat real? It has all to do with ancient, religious prophesy.
For the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims the city of Jerusalem is
the most important place on Earth. The Jews are expecting their
Messiah in the Holy City, so do the Christians. The 2nd
Coming of Jesus Christ is predicted to happen in the Area. At the
same time, many Muslims are expecting the coming of the Imam Mahdi,
the 12th spiritual leader of Islam. His headquarters will
be in Jerusalem and he will convert (or destroy) all non-believers
and found a global Califathe.
So
underlying all the tensions in the Near- and Middle East are
prophesies out of the three monotheistic religions. But the Jews have
a problem. Before the arrival of the true Messiah (not Jesus), they
have to rebuild the Temple of Solomon (for the third time). But from
700 till 1948 Muslims ruled Jerusalem (apart from the Crusades and
the Kingdom of Jerusalem) and built “the Dome of the Rock”, the
third holiest place in Islam, after Mecca and Medina. Replacing this
monument by the “The 3rd Temple”, would possibly
start a Third World War. A war, which is prophesied and accept by
Catholics and Protestants, as part of the Tribulation-period before
the 2nd coming of Christs, asd described in Revelation.
All fingers point and all roads lead to Jerusalem.
Ook drones kunnen gehacked worden
De Amerikaanse luchtmacht zet steeds meer ‘drones,’ onbemande vliegtuigjes, in voor spionagedoeleinden en andere militaire operaties in de ‘War on Terror,’ zoals missies om specifieke leiders van Al-Qaeda en andere terreurorganisaties te doden. Dat er met deze drones ook wel eens iets mis kan gaan, bleek in maart 2011 toen op een geheime luchtmachtbasis in het Afrikaanse Djibouti een Predator-drone plotseling zijn motor startte zonder enige menselijke tussenkomst, ook al was de ontsteking uitgeschakeld en waren de brandstofleidingen dicht. Technici concludeerden toen dat een virus de besturing van de drone had geïnfecteerd, zonder dat ze in staat waren de precieze oorzaak van het probleem aan te wijzen.
Sinds een jaar of vier is duidelijk dat ook de videobeelden die sommige drones van potentiële of daadwerkelijke doelwitten maken onderschept kunnen worden door kwaadwillenden. Deze beelden zijn in een groot aantal gevallen niet ‘encrypted’ (versleuteld), zodat ze relatief makkelijk door militante groeperingen ontvangen en bekeken kunnen worden. In 2008 werden videobeelden van drones aangetroffen op een laptop van shiitische militanten in Irak, die met behulp van een stukje software van 26 dollar de beelden hadden opgevangen.
Drones maken voor hun vluchten gebruik van GPS-gegevens. Ze kunnen in de problemen komen als de GPS-signalen in een bepaald gebied worden gestoord. Dat kan al worden gedaan met goedkope, commercieel verkrijgbare hardware. Iraanse functionarissen beweren dat zij het GPS-controlesignaal van een geavanceerde drone hebben gehacked, maar het is onmogelijk die claim te bevestigen.
Er zou een ongelooflijk slimme hacker voor nodig zijn om het commando over een Predator over te nemen. Toch kan niet worden uitgesloten dat dit ooit zal gebeuren.

Horizon Project Poltergeist (Missing Neutrinos)
http://youtu.be/Xemmtr2X9yY
This is the story of two genuine scientific heroes. For forty years, John Bahcall and Ray Davis were engaged in a single extraordinary experiment - to find out why the Sun shines. In the end they would triumph. Davis would win the Nobel Prize and, thanks to their work, a whole new theory about how the universe is put together may have to be created.
At the heart of this story is a tiny, utterly mysterious thing called a neutrino. Trillions of them pass through your body every second, touching nothing, leaving no trace. Yet neutrinos are one of a handful of fundamental particles in the universe, essential to every atom in existence and clues to what makes the Sun work. But their ghost-like quality made trapping and understanding them immensely difficult.
What then followed was a bizarre series of experiments. They led from a vat containing 600 tons of cleaning fluid, to a vast cavern in a Japanese mountain, to a hole in the ground in Canada two kilometres deep.
What they would reveal would stun the world of science. It seems that neutrinos may be our parents. They may be the reason why everything, including us, exists.

The Universe - Time Travel
http://youtu.be/TIDtQKeX2ys
Time travel is the concept of moving between different points in time in a manner analogous to moving between different points in space, either sending objects (or in some cases just information) backwards in time to some moment before the present, or sending objects forward from the present to the future without the need to experience the intervening period (at least not at the normal rate).
Although time travel has been a common plot device in fiction since the 19th century, and one-way travel into the future is arguably possible given the phenomenon of time dilation based on velocity in the theory of special relativity (exemplified by the twin paradox), as well as gravitational time dilation in the theory of general relativity, it is currently unknown whether the laws of physics would allow backwards time travel. Any technological device, whether fictional or hypothetical, that is used to achieve time travel is commonly known as a time machine. Some interpretations of time travel also suggest that an attempt to travel backwards in time might take one to a parallel universe whose history would begin to diverge from the traveler's original history after the moment the traveler arrived in the past.

Now the member of British Parliament for Penrith and the Border, in rural northwest England, Rory Stewart has led a fascinatingly broad life of public service. He joined the Foreign Office after school, then left to begin a years-long series of walks across the Muslim world. In 2002, his extraordinary walk across post-9/11 Afghanistan resulted in his first book, The Places in Between. After the invasion of Iraq in 2003, he served as a Deputy Governorate Co-Ordinator in Southern Iraq for the coalition forces, and later founded a charity in Kabul.

INKOMENS AFHANKELIJK
J'Accuse
Wat op dit moment duidelijk wordt t.a.v. een inkomensafhankelijke ziektekostenpremie, is vanaf 2010 al op de GGZ-patiënten uitgeprobeerd.
Deze, gemakkelijk te manipuleren en tiranniseren, groep werd geconfronteerd met “de eigen bijdrage”. Een eigen bijdrage voor de psychiater, opname, ambulante zorg en therapeutische activiteiten.
Met dat laatste werd een 40-jarige, gehuwde vrouw geconfronteerd.
Doordat het inkomen van haar man werd meegeteld, moest zij de volle mep betalen. 420 euro per maand! Waarvoor denkt U? Toegang tot een beauty-farm misschien. Nee. Twee dagdelen per week werkte zij op een tuincentrum van de GGZ. Ze leverde daar productie en is vooral lichamelijk bezig. Hiervoor wordt 50 euro per dagdeel in rekening gebracht als eigen bijdrage, 12 euro 50 per uur.
En nee, niemand die zegt:dit is oneerlijk en belachelijk. Ook de SP niet. Ambtenaren en politici laten dit allemaal passeren. Ze zijn de naam “volksvertegenwoordigers (m/v)” niet waardig en geen knip voor de neus waard.
Let me nog te vertellen, dat mevrouw gedwongen werd om te betalen. Het CAK is net als de Belastingdienst onverbiddelijk. De eerste rekening bedroeg iets meer dan 5700 euro. Binnen 14 dagen te betalen. Dat zij zich per direct als deelnemer uitschreef, terug naar de geraniums thuis, kunt U begrijpen.
Nu staat de politiek op zijn of haar achterste benen. Toen vanaf 2010 duizenden GGZ-clienten werden getroffen, zweeg men en stemde in.
