British lawmakers have called for more transparency from the Ministry of Defence (MoD) in order to win public trust as far as the use of unmanned aerial drones is concerned.

‘Members of the Commons Defence Committee urged the MoD on Tuesday to provide a “detailed public explanation” as called by a United Nations special rapporteur to shed more light on civilian casualties caused by drone attacks.

In their report, MPs said “misunderstandings and misinformation” have sparked public frustration about the controversial weapons – or “remotely piloted air systems” as the Royal Air Force (RAF) prefers to call them.

The committee urged the MoD to accept the UN special rapporteur on human rights and counter-terrorism, Ben Emmerson QC’s proposal, in which he has called for detailed information to be made public about such incidents.’

British lawmakers have called for more transparency from the Ministry of Defence (MoD) in order to win public trust as far as the use of unmanned aerial drones is concerned.

Members of the Commons Defence Committee urged the MoD on Tuesday to provide a "detailed public explanation" as called by a United Nations special rapporteur to shed more light on civilian casualties caused by drone attacks.

In their report, MPs said "misunderstandings and misinformation" have sparked public frustration about the controversial weapons – or "remotely piloted air systems" as the Royal Air Force (RAF) prefers to call them.

The committee urged the MoD to accept the UN special rapporteur on human rights and counter-terrorism, Ben Emmerson QC’s proposal, in which he has called for detailed information to be made public about such incidents.

"We recognise that this is not a simple and straightforward request as to do so could seriously jeopardise continuing operations," the recommendations suggest.

"Nonetheless, we recommend that, to the extent that it is operationally secure to do so, following an event which has resulted in confirmed civilian casualties the MoD should seek to publish details about the incident and any lessons learned from the review process," the MPs said.

The committee questioned ministers’ statements on the use of drones as "apparently inconsistent" and demanded the MoD to clarify whether the UK military has been deploying armed drones only to Afghanistan or if it had used them in attacks on Pakistan or other countries as well.

"If public confidence is to be built around the use of remotely piloted air systems, it is important that it is clear that UK aircraft have only been utilised within Afghanistan and always in accordance with UK rules of engagement," it said.

However, the committee has failed not only to mention casualty figures from UK drone strikes in Afghanistan, but also to challenge the fact.

This is while in his report to the UN Human Rights Council earlier this month, Emmerson QC urged the UK to “declassify and publish the results of the investigation into the March 2011 drone strike and of any other report relating to the infliction of civilian casualties through the use of remotely piloted aircraft in Afghanistan.”

According to Emmerson QC’s report, the death toll among civilians caused by the UK and US assassination drone strikes in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia continues to rise.

Only in Afghanistan, the report said, there was a threefold increase in drone-related civilian deaths between 2012 and 2013.

‘This season’s breakout hit on HBO was undoubtedly True Detective.  The eight-episode series was a surprise hit for executive producers who are also the show’s stars, Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey, and the show’s creator Nic Pizzolatto.

The eight episode season featured stellar acting and writing, but what surprised many viewers and helped make the show into a pop culture phenomenon, was the elaborate and grisly plot. The story features a powerful and mysterious Satanic-pagan cult comprised of U.S. Senators, pastors and police brass, collectively involved in decades of covering up child abductions and ritualistic murders on the Louisiana coast.

Harrelson plays a hard drinking, combative Louisiana State Police Detective named Marty Hart. His new partner is a fastidious note-taking detective named Rustin “Rust” Cohle, played by McConaughey. The two police detectives are assigned to investigate the discovery of the slain body of prostitute Dora Lange, who has been tied up to resemble a person kneeling in prayer before a tree, murdered, raped, mutilated and crowned with deer antlers in a mock crown of thorns.’

(Beware – Major Spoilers Ahead!)

This season’s breakout hit on HBO was undoubtedly True Detective.  The eight-episode series was a surprise hit for executive producers who are also the show’s stars, Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey, and the show’s creator Nic Pizzolatto.

The eight episode season featured stellar acting and writing, but what surprised many viewers and  helped make the show into a pop culture phenomenon, was the elaborate and grisly plot.  The story features a powerful and mysterious Satanic-pagan cult comprised of U.S. Senators, pastors and police brass, collectively involved in decades of covering up child abductions and ritualistic murders on the Louisiana coast.

Harrelson plays a hard drinking, combative Louisiana State Police Detective named Marty Hart.  His new partner is a fastidious note-taking detective named Rustin “Rust” Cohle, played by McConaughey.  The two police detectives are assigned to investigate the discovery of the slain body of prostitute Dora Lange, who has been tied up to resemble a person kneeling in prayer before a tree, murdered, raped, mutilated and crowned with deer antlers in a mock crown of thorns.

On Lange’s back is tattooed a black spiral symbol, and in the tree near her corpse is a circular vortex shape, fashioned from dead tree branches.  Surrounding her lifeless corpse are triangular tent-like structures also made of tree branches. The state police detectives are both stumped and personally traumatized by the bizarrely occult nature of the serial murder, and are intent on finding the perpetrators.

The two detectives follow a series of leads down paths that bring them to a ruined church that has been painted with a strange wall mural resembling the Lange murder scene.

Upon discovering the ruined church, Cohle experiences a vision of a spiral cloud of birds.

(These recurring images and Cohle’s strange visions resurface throughout the series).

As the investigation progressives down this metaphorical spiral, it brings the two detectives to dark places, both literally and figuratively.  For example, Hart’s relationship with his wife utterly deteriorates, leading to an eventual separation and divorce.  The familial tension is particularly heightened when he discovers that his eldest daughter has begun engage in drugs and the occult, and his marriage ends when he is caught committing adultery with first a coworker, and later a former prostitute.  Hart further discovers that his daughters may have been exposed to some of these occult influences, when he discovers his daughters’ journals, as well as his children’s toys arranged to represent a strangely familiar ritual scene.

Armed with his own personal brand of nihilism, Cohle becomes addicted to alcohol and quaaludes, and begins to despair.  He ends up having sex with Hart’s estranged wife, leading to an interpersonal conflict with his partner that forces him to quit the police force entirely and return to Alaska.  He later comes back to Louisiana and takes a job as a bartender at a local bar.   Both Cohle and Hart have become heavily dependent on alcohol and substances as a result of facing these dark realities.

During their on-again, off-again investigation and relationship, which spans 17 years, the detectives had discovered the deceased prostitute’s diary, which included many occult symbols and obscure references to “The Yellow King,” and something called “Carcosa.”

Other undercover informants had also referenced this “Yellow King” and “Carcosa.”  Of note is that “Carcosa” is a fictional city in the Ambrose Bierce short story “An Inhabitant of Carcosa” (1891).  In Bierce’s story, the ancient and mysterious city is barely described, and is viewed only in hindsight (after its destruction) by a character who once lived there.  Carcosa was also used extensively in Robert W. Chambers’ book of horror short stories published in 1895 entitled The King in Yellow.  In Chambers’ stories, and within the apocryphal play (also titled The King in Yellow) which is mentioned several times within them, the city is a mysterious, ancient, and possibly cursed place. The descriptions given of it make it clear that it must be located on another planet, or possibly even in another universe.

The mainstream media has made serious note of True Detective’s recurring occult references and termed the entire plot a strange and “crazy mythology.”  Other reporters have noted the show’s explicit references to Voudoun, Santeria and HP Lovecraft’s Call of Cthulu.

After numerous plot twists and turns, the two detectives each retire and grow apart for nearly a decade and reunite to continue to investigate the strange ritual murders.  The two now-private detectives come to the inescapable conclusion that an incredibly powerful and well-connected Satanic-pagan cult has been ritualistically abducting children for decades, and covering up the crimes by using powerful political influences.  Worse yet, they may have even attempted to pit the two men against one another after the investigation, by suggesting that Cohle was the culprit, leading Hart to even doubt his partner’s bona fides.  Some viewers have  wondered if Hart’s wife was connected to their daughters’ ritual abuse and the cult through her influential and wealthy father.

When one of the cult’s ringleaders (a powerful Bible belt Church Pastor) is tied to a sitting U.S. Senator by familial relationship, and a videotape is discovered depicting a grisly ritual rape and murder of a missing child, the Pastor is murdered by fellow cult members in a further cover-up.  It seems that this cult is connected to Sheriffs, the State Police, and even the United States Federal Government.

The series’ surreal ultimate finale ends with the two former detectives discovering a vast underground maze of tunnels where dozens of children’s skeletal remains are displayed, as a sacrificial offering to some form of otherworldly demon.  The “Yellow King” is apparently the cult’s sacrificial totem, located deep in the maze where the cult conducted its homicidal rituals.

A psychotic cult member named Errol Childress attacks the men, saying “Come die with me.  Witness my journey, little priest.”  Facing a near death experience after being stabbed by the cult member, Cohle views a vision of a dark vortex spiraling in the cavern.

Cohle and Hart survive the attack and Childress is shot dead by Cohle.  Later, Cohle and Hart stare at the starry night sky, musing on the vastness and darkness of the void, and how light and good in the universe seem so rare, but nonetheless are still winning against the wider forces of darkness which seem to pervade the universe.

True Detective’s success as a first season has led HBO to order a second season, which willapparently center around “the secret occult history of the United States transportation system.”  

In addition to great acting and directing, True Detective’s success was at least in part attributable to the fact that it was filled with occult symbols and compelling esoteric references.  For example, a cult member is named “Reginald LeDoux,” which is a French reference of “The Second King.”  A book referenced is titled the Letters of Telios de Lorca, supposedly written by an obscure 12thCentury Franciscan mystic, but in True Detective contained a folder of photographs containing naked children abducted by the cult.   It is unclear whether these  references were intended to hide further meaning relevant to the plot, but there were sufficient occult references that have captured viewers’ imaginations – and undoubtedly huge ratings.  In fact, the season finale apparently crashed HBO GO’s servers.

Bill Gates loves Common Core for your kids, BUT NOT HIS

‘Billionaire software tycoon Bill Gates has poured millions of dollars into efforts to develop and promote the Common Core State Standards Initiative, a set of K-12 math and language arts curriculum benchmarks and high-stakes standardized tests now being implemented in 46 states.

Strangely enough, though, Common Core isn’t quite good enough for Gates and his wife, Melinda, when it comes to the education of their own three children.

Diane Ravitch, a self-styled education policy iconoclast who tends to oppose Common Core (and charter schools, and much else), noted this irony on her blog earlier this week.’

Bill Gates loves Common Core for your kids, BUT NOT HIS

Billionaire software tycoon Bill Gates has poured millions of dollars into efforts to develop and promote the Common Core State Standards Initiative, a set of K-12 math and language arts curriculum benchmarks and high-stakes standardized tests now being implemented in 46 states.

Strangely enough, though, Common Core isn’t quite good enough for Gates and his wife, Melinda, when it comes to the education of their own three children.

Diane Ravitch, a self-styled education policy iconoclast who tends to oppose Common Core (and charter schools, and much else), noted this irony on her blog earlier this week.

The children of Bill and Melinda Gates – Jennifer, Rory and Phoebe – have attended Lakeside School, Seattle’s most elite, fancypants private school.

The hallowed halls of Lakeside School are a sweet place to attend classes if you have the means.

According to a Seattle education blog, the student-teacher ratio is 9 to 1. The average class size is 16. Some two dozen varsity sports are available and the opulent athletic facilities include “hydrotherapy spas.”

Of course, what with tuition for the 2013-14 academic year costing $28,500 per kid (not including books, laptop, field trips, etc.), most families don’t have the means.

Lakeside’s website doesn’t appear to discuss Common Core much.

“The mission of Lakeside School is to develop in intellectually capable young people the creative minds, healthy bodies, and ethical spirits needed to contribute wisdom, compassion, and leadership to a global society,” reads the school’s mission statement. “We provide a rigorous and dynamic academic program through which effective educators lead students to take responsibility for learning.”

A sub-mission statement talks about “interacting compassionately, ethically, and successfully with diverse peoples and cultures.”

A 2011 webpage from Lakeside School does discuss how Lakeside has sort-of-kind-of used Common Core’s relatively obscure science component as a framework. The page notes, however, that Lakeside students are “generally more advanced than average” and won’t be subject to any of the standardized testing which the hoi polloi in public schools will undergo.

Like his children, Gates also attended Lakeside before going off to – and then dropping out of – Harvard University.

In a 2005 speech at the tony prep school, Gates fondly remembered his time and his teachers at the school.

“Teachers like Ann Stephens. I was in her English class, and I read every book in there twice. But I sat in the back of the room and never raised my hand,” Gates declared.

“She challenged me to do more. I never would have come to enjoy literature as much as I do if she hadn’t pushed me.”

Interestingly, the Common Core standards Gates has funded so heavily mandate a nonfiction-heavy reading regime that devalues literature tremendously. Specifically, in the 46 states which have adopted Common Core standards, nonfiction books must constitute at least 70 per cent of the texts read by high school students. (RELATED: Under Common Core, classic literature to be dropped in favor of ‘informational texts’)

This month, the former Microsoft CEO has been aggressively pushing Common Core. For example, Gates visited the American Enterprise Institute in Washington, D.C. to deliver a robust defense of the controversial education standards to a largely conservative audience. (RELATED: Convinced yet?

Top eight foods and herbs for healing cancer

‘With 44% of men and 39% of women now being diagnosed with cancer, it has become more important than ever to understand the foods that will not only nourish your body, but also detoxify it of any cancer causing agents. Here are some of the most potent cancer destroying foods and herbs.’

(NaturalNews) With 44% of men and 39% of women now being diagnosed with cancer, it has become more important than ever to understand the foods that will not only nourish your body, but also detoxify it of any cancer causing agents. Here are some of the most potent cancer destroying foods and herbs.

Sea Vegetables

Kelp, kombu, and nori are three of the more common sea vegetables with remarkable effects on cancer. They are one of the richest and most bioavailable sources of iodine, a substance lacking in the average diet that is implicated in many patients with breast and ovarian cancer.

They are also rich in calcium and potassium, as well as all minerals, which assist in promoting a very alkaline environment, which makes it very difficult for existing cancer to survive.

Algae

Chlorella and spirulina are two of the most potent algae and are proven cancer fighters.

Due to their incredible detoxification action (including binding to and eliminating heavy metals) and immune boosting properties (by promoting production of healthy gut flora and fighting candida overgrowth), they are a must have when healing cancer.

Cruciferous Vegetables

Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage have been linked to lower cancer risks and have the ability to halt growth of cancer cells for tumors in the breast, uterine lining, lung, colon, liver, and cervix.

It appears that a phytochemical called sulforaphane can stimulate enzymes that detoxify carcinogens before they damage cells, as well as indole 3-carbinol and crambene, which are also suspected of activating detoxification enzymes.

Medicinal Mushrooms

Medicinal mushrooms such as reishi and chaga have had a number of bioactive molecules, including anti-tumor agents, identified in their structure. These bioactive compounds include polysaccharides, alkaloids, tocopherols, phenolics, flavonoids, carotenoids, folates, ascorbic acid enzymes, and organic acids.

Studies show that long-term consumption of reishi prevents tumor proliferation and growth by increasing the level of antioxidants in an individual's blood plasma while boosting the immunity of those suffering from advanced stage cancer.

Aloe Vera

Research shows strong immunomodulatory and anti-tumor properties for polysaccharides in aloe vera, which means it boosts immune system function and destroys cancer tumors.

A study in International Immunopharmacology showed that aloe vera polysaccharides exhibited potent macrophage activating activities including producing increased volumes of nitric oxide, which has anti-tumor potential.

Hemp

The hemp plant contains some of the most balanced and richest sources of oils on the planet, with an ideal ratio of 3:1 for omega 6 to omega 3. Hemp seed oil also contains 80% essential fatty acids, the highest of any plant.

Essential fatty acids are fundamental to immune function due to their antioxidants and anti-inflammatory fatty acids, which helps oxidize the cells and restores health at a cellular level. Since cancer cannot survive in a highly oxygenated environment, the superb EFA content in hemp makes it a great option for healing cancer.

Garlic

A double blind, randomized study with over 3000 human subjects for seven clinical years showed that cancer risk was cut by 60% for those with the highest intake of allium containing vegetables, including aged garlic.

The miracle nutrient appears to be the enzyme alliinase (a nutrient in the Allium genus) which produces the anti-cancer compounds. The key is to crush it and let it sit for 15 minutes in order to release these anti-cancer compounds.

Turmeric

The Life Extension Foundation has conducted extensive research into the anti-cancer properties of turmeric and found that it targets 10 causative factors involved in cancer development, including DNA damage, chronic inflammation, and disruption of cell signaling pathways.

Hundreds of studies have also shown that curcumin is a potent anti-cancer food that blocks cancer development in a number of unique ways.

I hope this inspires you to trust nature, so we can start to reverse these scary statistics.
