Government mind control may not be as farfetched as it sounds:{the TV and schools seems to have done a great job at it thus far, I guess they are hitting where it really is inescapable now} after 15 years of research, scientists have found a way to transmit information from one brain to another, thereby controlling the thoughts of its test subject.

brainwashing & mind control
techniques

Three Principles of Re-Education
1) REPETITION - Going through the same subject over and over again until it is known by heart.

2) ACTIVITY PEDAGOGICS - The subjects are never left alone nor give any private time of their own, they are always in activity.

3) CRITICISM AND SELF-CRITICISM - The subjects are supposed to feel uncertain; under the constant threat of being humiliated and despised.

The term “brainwashing” came into common language through the work of American journalist Edward Hunter who was an expert of Oriental issues; the very word being the direct translation of Chinese “hsi-nao”. By “hsi-nao” the Chinese meant certain techniques in dealing with adversaries and/or training of officials. To the Western usage the term “brainwashing” spread in the 1950s through several publications depicting the treatment of American soldiers at Chinese prison camp during the Korean War 1950-1953.

Below is a list of the usual brainwashing/mind control techniques used in schools, hospitals, army, religious cults, totalitarian states; with political prisoners and dissidents, mentally insane, some versions of psychoterapy, etc., etc. “Indoctrination” is a more slight and more subliminal form of brainwashing (e.g. commercials). However, these concepts are nothing short of controversial and open to various interpretations, which should be kept in mind while perusing the Web sources below.


Scientists have successfully captured the thoughts of a rat in Brazil and electronically transmitted them through the Internet to the brain of a rat in the US. The Brazilian rat had been energetically running around in a lab. When the American rat received the brain waves of its South American counterpart, it immediately began to mimic the behavior – despite the thousands of miles between them, Reuters reports.

Scientists refer to the technique as a “brain link”. The $26 million study of brain-machine interfaces was funded by the Pentagon’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), which ultimately hopes to have this technology available to humans.

By linking human brains together, scientists believe they can combine brainpower to solve problems that are too difficult for one person to handle alone, Duke University Medical Center neurobiologist Miguel Nicolelis told Reuters. Nicolelis refers to this link as an “organic computer”, and said scientists will first test it out on monkeys to determine its feasibility.

But not all researchers are excited about the prospect of brain manipulation.
“Having non-human primates communicate brain-to-brain raises all sorts of ethical concerns,” one neuroscientist told Reuters. “Reading about putting things in animals’ brains and changing what they do, people rightly get nervous.”
This sort of technology raises the concern about the possibility of using humans or animals as soldiers in battle, the scientist added. MORE

A large amount of water used in fracking a natural gas and oil well spilled in rural West Virginia.

The West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection had inspectors on the scene southeast of Wheeling in Marshall County, near the small town of Dallas over the weekend.

Nearly 100,000 gallons leaked from a pit used to store fracking waste outside Wheeling, and the bulk of it flowed downhill into a nearby creek.

“Right now, there is not an alarming level of concern. Certainly, it is not materials we want flowing freely in the environment,” said Kathy Cosco, of the West Virginia Department of West Virginia.

The department said that 95,000 gallons of drill water mixed with fresh water poured out of an open valve down a hill, then into a tributary of Big Wheeling Creek.

“Fortunately, we have found no evidence of any fish kill or any aquatic life being affected by this spill, so that is good news,” Cosco said.

The department has taken water and soil samples and testing is underway.
The drilling company Noble Energy said, “We do not believe that any creeks, streams or surrounding landowners have been significantly impacted.”

A local university professor said the Big Wheeling Creek feeds into the Ohio River, which is a source of drinking water for millions of people.

When asked if there will be an impact to water intake, Wheeling Jesuit University Professor Ben Stout said, “I don’t think so, but I am glad the Wheeling water intake is upstream from Wheeling Creek.”

Stout said that if there was hydrochloric acid in the spill, it could have a long-term impact on the stream.

“There are events that occur and they are going to occur more frequently with more industrial activity,” Stout said.

Noble Energy released the following statement to NBC4:

“At approximately 8:20 p.m. on Friday, February 22, 2013, Noble Energy became aware that its SHL-3 centralized pit was overflowing at its water storage site. Noble Energy employees responded immediately and found a valve was open, feeding the pit with freshwater. Employees resolved the issue by closing the valve and stopping the flow. A root cause analysis is being conducted to determine why the valve was open and Noble Energy will adopt protocols to prevent such occurrence in the future. >>>MORE<<<

Attack on Pearl Harbor
The attack on Pearl Harbor was intended to neutralize the U.S. Pacific Fleet, and hence protect Japan’s advance into Malaya and the Dutch East Indies, where it sought access to natural resourcessuch as oil and rubber.<3> War between Japan and the United States had been a possibility of which each nation had been aware (and developed contingency plans for) since the 1920s, though tensions did not begin to grow seriously until Japan’s 1931 invasion of Manchuria. Over the next decade, Japan continued to expand into China, leading to all-out war between those countries in 1937. Japan spent considerable effort trying to isolate China and achieve sufficient resource independence to attain victory on the mainland; the “Southern Operation” was designed to assist these efforts.<17>

From December 1937, events such as the Japanese attack on the USS Panay and the Nanking Massacre (more than 200,000 killed in indiscriminate massacres) swung public opinion in the West sharply against Japan and increased Western fear of Japanese expansion,<18> which prompted the United States, the United Kingdom, and France to provide loan assistance for war supply contracts to the Republic of China.

Fracking and Water: A New Way To Profit from the Industry’s Biggest Problem

While oil and water don’t mix, for the fracking industry… the two go hand-in-hand.
You see, while WATER is one of the oil industry’s biggest threats – it’s also one of investors’ biggest opportunities.
Consider this: Each horizontal well in North America that uses hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, uses 2-6 MILLION gallons of sweet fresh water. And the entire North American industry will use an estimated 72 BILLION gallons in 2012.
The cost involved in handling that water could be in the billions of dollars within a couple years.

That’s why a multi-billion dollar Water Services industry is emerging right now in the oil patch.

It’s a huge opportunity for some great capital gains — but changing regulations, and a very attentive mainstream audience questioning business practises which have been in effect for decades, will make it choppy water for investors.
“In 2008 there were 25 billion barrels of water handled (by the oil and gas industry) in the US—even at 60 cents a barrel it’s a multibillion dollar business,” says Jonathan Hoopes, President of GreenHunter Energy Inc. (GRH-AMEX). “With the big growth in unconventional since then, it’s likely another 5-6 billion barrels.”

GreenHunter is a pure play on the fast growing water market in the oil patch, along with companies like Heckmann Corp (HEK-NYSE), and Ridgeline Energy Services (RLE-TSXv; RGDEF-OTCQX). There are also many private technology companies with new water treatment processes. MORE



Two High Risk Venues, With Big Potential Payouts: Somaliland and Lebanon
Somaliland: Somali’s ‘Other’ Country

Somaliland enjoys a certain amount of strategic advantage. It has a long coastline and deep sea ports, and could eventually serve as a major energy hub for East Africa. Foreign oil companies are already on to this and exploration is beginning in earnest.

Chevron was drilling in Somaliland in the late 1980s, and Conoco was laying airstrips, but these licenses were granted by the Somali government, which was taken over by militias in 1991 – a development that saw Somaliland declare independence that same year. So now we’re starting from scratch. There is the little matter that Somaliland is not an internationally recognized country, but foreign investors do not seem to be bothered by this technical inconvenience.
So far, three independent oil companies have signed up for exploration. The most notable is Turkey’s Genel Energy, which has taken the sector by storm in Northern Iraq. Genel will begin surveying in March and expects to drill its first well in early 2014.

Haiti Suddenly and Conveniently has Oil, Black Gold!

Did mining and oil drilling trigger the Haiti earthquake?

For years, HLLN has been pointing to the Lavalas’ white book detailing Haiti’s resources as part of the reason for oustering President Aristide and putting in Haitian puppets to empire. Now that 20,000 US troops are in Haiti behind the pretext of humanitarian aid… by the way there’s oil and gas in Haiti! Never mind that stealth offshore and on-land drilling may have disturbed the fault line, those Haitians are black idiots anyway. Just yesterday I was called CRAZY for saying Haiti had oil and substantial mineral resources. But today, today, if the white man says it, it must be true! Here is the empire’s latest spin:

Obama’s Policy Positions and Voting Record as State Senator, U.S. Senator, and Presidential Candidate:

During his eight-year career in the Illinois state senate, Barack Obama avoided making controversial votes approximately 130 times — which, according to other Illinois state senators, is much higher than average. Rather than vote “yea” or “nay” on the legislation in question, Obama on those occasions simply voted “present.” In the Illinois state senate, this was the equivalent of a “nay” vote when tallying up support or opposition to a given bill. But, as David Freddoso points out:

“<F>or rhetorical purposes, a ‘present’ vote is different in that critics and journalists must discuss it differently. For example, Barack Obama did not vote against a bill to prevent pornographic book and video stores and strip clubs from setting up within 1,000 feet of schools and churches — he just voted ‘present.’ Obama voted ‘present’ on an almost unanimously passed bill to prosecute students as adults if they fire guns on schol grounds. He voted ‘present’ on the partial-birth abortion ban and other contentious issues …”<1>

Gun Control:
During his time teaching at the University of Chicago, Obama told then-colleague John Lott directly: “I don’t believe people should be able to own guns.”
As a candidate for the Illinois State Senate in 1996, Obama promised to support a ban on “the manufacture, sale & possession of handguns.”

While running for the U.S. Senate in 2004, Obama spoke in favor of federal legislation to block citizens nationwide from receiving concealed-carry permits. “National legislation will prevent other states’ flawed concealed-weapons laws from threatening the safety of Illinois residents,” he said

Criminal Justice:
Obama as a lawmaker opposed the death penalty and authored legislation requiring police to keep records of the race of everyone questioned, detained or arrested.<7>

Obama promised that as President, he would work to ban racial profiling and eliminate racial disparities in criminal sentencing. “The criminal justice system is not color blind,” he said, “It does not work for all people equally, and that is why it’s critical to have a president who sends a signal that we are going to have a system of justice that is not just us, but is everybody.”

Immigration:

Obama’s voting record clearly reflects his desire to expand entitlements for illegal aliens.

Obama opposes immigration raids designed to identify illegal aliens in workplaces or housing units. He says the U.S. should “allow undocumented immigrants who are in good standing to pay a fine, learn English, and go to the back of the line for the opportunity to become citizens.” “When I was a state senator in Illinois,” Obama has said, “I voted to require that illegal aliens get trained, get a license, get insurance to protect public safety. That was my intention. The problem we have here is not driver’s licenses. Undocumented workers do not come here to drive. They’re here to work.” In short, he is in favor ofpermitting illegal aliens to obtain driver’s licenses.

Obama voted in favor of allowing former illegal aliens who had previously worked at jobs under phony or stolen Social Security numbers, to someday reap the benefits of whatever Social Security contributions they may have made while they were so employed. Much MORE
