“

It is important to recognise that the Americans do evil things as well. They say their motivation is to fight terrorism, and fighting terror is something I wholeheartedly support. But while their intentions may be good, their actions are also very wrong – when they kill a small child with a drone missile in Pakistan, or when they lock people up without trial in Guantánamo Bay. These actions are very unwise, too. They anger people who might before have been reasonable, so that more of them turn to extremism. They feed terrorism, just as once the denial of legal rights to those suspected of being Irish terrorists drew disaffected people to the IRA banner.

I was very pleased to hear this week that the prime minister, David Cameron, read the letter my daughter, Johina, sent him. I hope one day soon I will be back in the UK and I will be able to talk with politicians about how to reduce extremism – whether it is Muslims who misinterpret the Holy Qur’an, or members of the English Defence League who misinterpret Muslims.

We cannot establish justice by committing injustice. Evil begets evil.

But at the same time, goodwill brings goodwill. Misguided people will always commit misguided acts, but we do not need to live as if it might happen to each of us every day. Yet the US is still living the 9/11 nightmare. Guards on my block here in Guantánamo, who were just eight years old at the time of the attacks, now treat me as if I blew up the World Trade Centre. Why have we passed this nightmare to the next generation? They have been taught to hate. This is driving the world away from reconciliation. Our children are being taught to live in the past, not the future.

CUT FUNDING TO 'CRISIS PREGNANCY CENTERS' | We the People: Your Voice in Our Government → petitions.whitehouse.gov

stfuconservatives:

For decades, most Crisis Pregnancy Centers have been lying to women, evading questions, and disguising their institutions as health care facilities. They receive federal funding to shame women into believing lies- “abortion causes breast cancer”, “it will make you infertile”, “condoms do not protect against STIs”, etc. They do not have a doctor at these facilities, and are not under HIPAA regulations of non-disclosure of medical records. They are against all contraception forms. They will harass a woman until she is in tears, and then send her on her way with a Christian religious token, and a promise from her that she will keep her child, they will only provide “help” if she agrees to go to Bible Study. This is not health care. Title X funding should be revoked.

Totally, completely, utterly unacceptable that they still get funding. Sign this!

I repeat- NOT a medical facility.

Activist Post: Main Core: A List Of Millions Of Americans That Will Be Subject To Detention During Martial Law → activistpost.com

moralanarchism:

Are you on the list?  Are you one of the millions of Americans that have been designated a threat to national security by the U.S. government?  Will you be subject to detention when martial law is imposed during a major national emergency?  As you will see below, there is actually a list that contains the names of at least 8 million Americans known as Main Core that the U.S. intelligence community has been compiling since the 1980s.

Wonder who among us are on this list?

Homo sapiens chromosome 15 genomic contig, GRCh37.p10 Primary Assembly NCBI Reference Sequence: NT_037852.6

yearoftheglitch:

Typical Sunday Morning(?):

I wake up asking myself whether it would be possible to modify the ByteWriter program to visualize DNA.

After breakfast, a couple of cups of coffee, and a few hours, the answer is: It is.

After looking through a database containing the human genome and visualizing a portion of the 15th chromosome, partially responsible to eye and skin color, I noticed some repeating patterns.

This is what that first segment sounds like.

The source file contains only 4 characters (A, C, G, & T) in raw UTF-8 text.  So the natural conversion is translating the data into 8-bit mono audio stream.

I can’t believe how much this resembles raw machine code.

Street Philosophy, The Importance of A=432hz as a Concert Pitch for Music → thestreetphilosopher.tumblr.com

When did the concert pitch change?

 Most music worldwide has been tuned to 440 hertz since the International Standards Organization (ISO) endorsed it in 1953, following the prior recommendations of the Nazi party spoksman, Joseph Goebbels in 1939.Suffice to say, I will not waste good energy down the rabbit hole of conspiracy to expose another Illuminatti agenda, however I will quickly state that there was an organised effort to change Concert pitch to 440hz well back at the start of the last century to codify an “Old World New Order” of central pitch.

“Imagine that someone proposed that the key to establishing social justice and restraining corporate greed was to establish a very large corporation, much larger than any corporation hitherto known—one with revenues in the trillions of dollars. A corporation that held a monopoly on some extremely important market within our society. And used its monopoly in that market to extend its control into other markets. And hired men with guns to force customers to buy its product at whatever price it chose. And periodically bombed the employees and customers of corporations in other countries. By what theory would we predict that this corporation, above all others, could be trusted to serve our interests and to protect us both from criminals and from all the other corporations? If someone proposed to establish a corporation like this, would your trepidation be assuaged the moment you learned that every adult would be issued one share of stock in this corporation, entitling them to vote for members of the board of directors? If it would not, is the governmental system really so different from that scenario as to explain why we may trust a national government to selflessly serve and protect the rest of society?” —Michael Huemer http://athousandnations.com/2013/03/04/michael-huemer-on-political-authority/ (via georgeoughttohelp)

“

In Washington, D.C. it costs $7,000 in city fees to open a pushcart. In
California, up to eighty federal and state licenses are required to open a small business. In New York, a medallion to operate a taxicab costs $150,000.

More than 700 occupations in the United States require a government license. Throughout the country, church soup kitchens for the homeless are being closed by departments of health. No wonder so many people turn to crime and violence
to survive.

“Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the goodof its victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” —C.S. Lewis (via satans-advocate)
