Everything Is Rigged: The Biggest Price-Fixing Scandal Ever
Source: RollingStone.com
Conspiracy theorists of the world, believers in the hidden hands of the Rothschilds and the Masons and the Illuminati, we skeptics owe you an apology. You were right. The players may be a little different, but your basic premise is correct: The world is a rigged game. We found this out in recent months, when a series of related corruption stories spilled out of the financial sector, suggesting the world's largest banks may be fixing the prices of, well, just about everything.
You may have heard of the Libor scandal, in which at least three – and perhaps as many as 16 – of the name-brand too-big-to-fail banks have been manipulating global interest rates, in the process messing around with the prices of upward of $500 trillion (that's trillion, with a "t") worth of financial instruments. When that sprawling con burst into public view last year, it was easily the biggest financial scandal in history – MIT professor Andrew Lo even said it "dwarfs by orders of magnitude any financial scam in the history of markets."
That was bad enough, but now Libor may have a twin brother. Word has leaked out that the London-based firm ICAP, the world's largest broker of interest-rate swaps, is being investigated by American authorities for behavior that sounds eerily reminiscent of the Libor mess. Regulators are looking into whether or not a small group of brokers at ICAP may have worked with up to 15 of the world's largest banks to manipulate ISDAfix, a benchmark number used around the world to calculate the prices of interest-rate swaps.

Education Is NOT The Same As Schooling (with Video)
Source: YouTube.com
Did high school ever feel somewhat like a prison? Did it ever feel like being in a machine that had its own purposes and goals separate from yours? This feeling is not uncommon, and an examination of the development of the school explains why. Rather than being a tool to educate, the school as we know it today started as a way to produce obedient and loyal subjects, soldiers, and workers. It was never intended to develop the mind in any meaningful way. Education and schooling are often conflated, but there are many important distinctions between the two. Prof. Steven Davies argues that schools are not suited for educating and it is high time we move away from the idea of the school as the only option for delivering education.

Nullification The Rightful Remedy (Video)
Source: YouTube.com
Nullification The Rightful Remedy: What do we do when the federal government steps outside of it's Constitutional boundaries? Do we 'vote the bums out' and hope that the new bums limit their own power? Do we ask federal judges in black robes to limit the federal government's power? Thomas Jefferson and James Madison didn't think so, and neither do we. The rightful remedy to federal tyranny rests in the hands of the people and the States that created the federal government in the first place. It's called Nullification, and it's an idea whose time has come. This documentary explores the history of state nullification, and how it is being used today to push back against the encroachment of federal power.

'The neo-conservative era is dead': Ron Paul announces DC think-tank
Source: RT.com
--"The neo-conservative era is dead. The ill-advised policies pushed by the neo-cons have everywhere led to chaos and destruction, and to a hatred of the United States and its people. Multi-trillion dollar wars have not made the world a safer place; they have only bankrupted our economic future. The Ron Paul Institute will provide the tools and the education to chart a new course with the understanding that only through a peaceful foreign policy can we hope for a prosperous tomorrow."

Tragedy And Hope Made Easy - Chapter 4
Source: JoePlummer.com
--The vast majority of people – people like you and me – never think of money as a weapon. For us, it's simply something that we earn and then use to purchase products and services. The network, on the other hand, has a much, much deeper understanding of what money is and how to wield its power. For them, money isn't about acquiring more material goods or services; it's about acquiring more control over the resources and instruments that govern human behavior. When viewed in this light, their seemingly insatiable desire to accumulate money makes more sense. (More money equals more control.)
However, this doesn't mean that personal ownership of money is the network's most effective monetary weapon. In fact, we could take away the personal fortunes of all of its members and, if that's all we did, their power would remain undisturbed and they would rebuild their fortunes in no time. This is because the network knows something that most of us do not: Control of money, not actual "ownership," is what truly matters. Where you and I cannot imagine having the ability to control money that doesn't belong to us; the network cannot imagine having it any other way.
In this chapter, we'll cover the three primary mechanisms that the network uses to perpetuate its monetary power. They are: 1) The ability to combine and control the earnings of others, 2) The ability to directly confiscate the earnings of others, and 3) The ability to create money out of thin air.

Supreme Court Strikes Down Warrantless Blood Tests In DUI Cases
Source: LibertyCrier.com
Police following up on drunk driving investigations will no longer be able to draw their suspect's blood without a court order authorizing the search, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Wednesday.
In a 5-4 decision, with Justices Sonya Sotomayor, Antonin Scalia, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Anthony Kennedy and Elena Kagan making up the majority, the court ruled that the natural expiration of alcohol in the bloodstream does not constitute "destruction of evidence," which would otherwise give officers cause for a warrantless search.

Attack The Tax Presentation
As per your request, please find a link to the most recent "Attack the Tax" presentation.
We decided to send a link, as some email accounts reject files of this size and type. Please
download the pdf & share it will EVERYONE (and pass on this email on to ALL your contacts).
http://www.attackthetax.com/downloads/AttacktheTAXPresentation22Apr13.pdf
We have also attached a link to the YouTube video, of the live presentation the lads from
"Attack The Tax" did in Cork. The first two minutes and twenty seconds sound quality is poor,
as they are playing a telephone recording. Once the recording is finished the sound quality is
pretty decent, and they explain THE LAW with Crystal Clarity. It is a pretty long video … so
get the kettle on and the bikkies out. Watching the video will give the presentation context,
and give you a clearer and better understanding of the LAW. http://youtu.be/KkcPTLMdKmc
FINALLY: We need and want more People from ALL the Cities, Towns and Villages on the Island,
to coordinate and work with us in getting the LAW out to the People, in whatever way, form or
manner that you can think of and do.
If you are genuinely interested in working with us to educate the People to protect themselves:
Please let us know by return, your name, general location, and a contact number. We will call
you as soon as we can, and work out the next steps that we can take together.
The very best for now,
Des.

Italian Supreme Court President Blames Bilderberg For Terrorist Attacks
Source: PrisonPlanet.com
--The "strategy of tension" refers to a policy under the auspices of Operation Gladio, a NATO cold war "stay behind" project that sought to create an expedient political climate in Europe by having its agents carry out terror attacks which were then blamed on both far left and far right political groups.
Gladio was designed to demonize political opposition and "force the public to turn to the state to ask for greater security," according to the testimony of former Gladio agent Vincenzo Vinciguerra. In 2000, an Italian parliamentary investigation found that the 1980 Bologna train bombing, which killed 85 people, was carried out by "men inside Italian state institutions and … men linked to the structures of United States intelligence."
"You had to attack civilians, the people, women, children, innocent people, unknown people far removed from any political game," Vinciguerra explained in sworn testimony.
"The reason was quite simple. They were supposed to force these people, the Italian public, to turn to the state to ask for greater security. This is the political logic that lies behind all the massacres and the bombings which remain unpunished, because the state cannot convict itself or declare itself responsible for what happened," he added.
Imposimato stated that he was given the document by a former Ordine Nuovo terrorist. Members of Ordine Nuovo (Italian for "New Order") participated in numerous deadly terrorist attacks, including the 1969 Piazza Fontana bombing, the 1970 Rome-Messina train attack, the 1974Piazza della Loggia bombing in Brescia, and the Italicus Express bombing in 1974.

DIY Multi-Purpose Tractor (with Video)
Source: PopSci.com
Marcin Jakubowski didn't study fusion physics to become a farmer. But the Polish-American scientist grew more disillusioned with academia the longer he worked toward his doctorate. Researchers withheld data to compete for grants, he says, instead of collaborating to solve big problems. "The further I went in my Ph.D. program, the less value I felt I was contributing to society," he says. Seeking a fresh start, Jakubowski bought 30 acres of Missouri farmland and a tractor. Life in relative seclusion proved uneventful until, one day in 2008, his tractor broke down for the second and last time, spurring him to start an open-source industrial revolution.
To Jakubowski, the tractor seemed designed to fail. Why should he sink more money into fixing it or buy a replacement? He wanted a simple and useful machine, and one he could repair and upgrade on the fly. "It boiled down to lower cost in the long run," he says.
Jakubowski built the first LifeTrac, as he calls his DIY tractor, in three months for $6,000—about $30,000 less than a comparable mass-produced model. Seeing room for improvement, he built a second prototype in just six days. He posted his progress on the tractor and other machines to an online wiki, which attracted followers, who suggested their own design tweaks. Some even visited in person to help with builds—and Open Source Ecology took off.

--"This means that the rights of this amendment are not extended to the individual citizens of the states," the worksheet reads. "So a person has no right to complain about a Second Amendment violation by state laws."

Bitcoin Goes Parabolic
Source: PrisonPlanet.com
Bitcoin is a powerful, game-changing crypto currency that may literally change the world. It's a huge threat to centralized banks and government currency controls because it's entirely decentralized, anonymous and virtually impossible to track. Bitcoin is the "underground railroad" of money, and it has an important role to play in the epic battle between liberty vs. slavery.
But because bitcoin is a currency whose value is based on the psychology of human beings, it is subject to booms and busts. Bitcoin has enjoyed a meteoric rise from roughly $20 per bitcoin in February to almost $200 per bitcoin today. (Yes, nearly a 1000% return in less than two months.) This has happened for several reasons, but primarily because the Cypriot bank thefts taught people that "money in the bank" isn't any safer than money anywhere else. So why not invest in a crypto-currency that can't be stolen by the banks?
As Europeans and Russians were funneling unprecedented sums of money into bitcoin over the past few months, Asians began to dump speculative money into the system. Today, Chinese investors (i.e. "gamblers") are pumping huge sums of cash into bitcoin, hoping to double or triple their money as the currency continues its red hot rise.

Vote Rigging = Big Money and Big Power

--When you understand that whoever controls the Internet server controls the election, and that with online voting, the public loses its ability to see or authenticate any of the essential processes; when you learn that a technology official who has admitted to taking $860,000 in bribes,[2] planned to set up his own Internet voting system for New Orleans; when you discover that around this time, the same guy setting up the Internet voting system was making ten-thousand-dollar bets on election outcomes[3], you realize that Internet voting is nothing more than a large number of people acting dumb in the dark.

To Jakubowski, the tractor seemed designed to fail. Why should he sink more money into fixing it or buy a replacement? He wanted a simple and useful machine, and one he could repair and upgrade on the fly. "It boiled down to lower cost in the long run," he says.
Jakubowski built the first LifeTrac, as he calls his DIY tractor, in three months for $6,000—about $30,000 less than a comparable mass-produced model. Seeing room for improvement, he built a second prototype in just six days. He posted his progress on the tractor and other machines to an online wiki, which attracted followers, who suggested their own design tweaks. Some even visited in person to help with builds—and Open Source Ecology took off.

School: Americans Don't Have Right to Bear Arms
Source: Foxnews.com
The father of a Connecticut child is furious after discovering that his son's school is teaching students that Americans don't have a Second Amendment right to bear arms.
--"This means that the rights of this amendment are not extended to the individual citizens of the states," the worksheet reads. "So a person has no right to complain about a Second Amendment violation by state laws."

Bitcoin Goes Parabolic
Source: PrisonPlanet.com
Bitcoin is a powerful, game-changing crypto currency that may literally change the world. It's a huge threat to centralized banks and government currency controls because it's entirely decentralized, anonymous and virtually impossible to track. Bitcoin is the "underground railroad" of money, and it has an important role to play in the epic battle between liberty vs. slavery.
But because bitcoin is a currency whose value is based on the psychology of human beings, it is subject to booms and busts. Bitcoin has enjoyed a meteoric rise from roughly $20 per bitcoin in February to almost $200 per bitcoin today. (Yes, nearly a 1000% return in less than two months.) This has happened for several reasons, but primarily because the Cypriot bank thefts taught people that "money in the bank" isn't any safer than money anywhere else. So why not invest in a crypto-currency that can't be stolen by the banks?
As Europeans and Russians were funneling unprecedented sums of money into bitcoin over the past few months, Asians began to dump speculative money into the system. Today, Chinese investors (i.e. "gamblers") are pumping huge sums of cash into bitcoin, hoping to double or triple their money as the currency continues its red hot rise.

Early Neutering: We'll Call This Myth Busted...
Source: Healthypets.mercola.com
--My goal with regard to pet sterilization is simply to provide information to pet owners about the risks, since there is much information readily available about the benefits. In this case, where early spaying has been widely promoted as a way to prevent mammary tumors in female dogs, in light of the findings of the U.K. systematic review, I feel compelled to let pet owners know there is scarce scientific evidence available to back up that widely held belief.
If your dog is not yet spayed or neutered, I can offer some general recommendations for timing of the procedure:

For The First Time, Majority of Americans Support Marijuana Legalization
Source: Gawker.com
The first national poll to ask potential voters their thoughts on marijuana since two states legalized the drug back in November has found that support for legalization is now a majority opinion for the first time since the question was first asked by Gallup back in 1969.
52 percent of American adults told the Pew Research Center they supported marijuana legalization, compared with 45 percent who opposed it.
Support gained 11 percentage points since the last Pew poll on the subject was conducted in 2010.

Italian Supreme Court President Blames Bilderberg For Terrorist Attacks
Source: PrisonPlanet.com
--The "strategy of tension" refers to a policy under the auspices of Operation Gladio, a NATO cold war "stay behind" project that sought to create an expedient political climate in Europe by having its agents carry out terror attacks which were then blamed on both far left and far right political groups.
Gladio was designed to demonize political opposition and "force the public to turn to the state to ask for greater security," according to the testimony of former Gladio agent Vincenzo Vinciguerra. In 2000, an Italian parliamentary investigation found that the 1980 Bologna train bombing, which killed 85 people, was carried out by "men inside Italian state institutions and … men linked to the structures of United States intelligence."
"You had to attack civilians, the people, women, children, innocent people, unknown people far removed from any political game," Vinciguerra explained in sworn testimony.
"The reason was quite simple. They were supposed to force these people, the Italian public, to turn to the state to ask for greater security. This is the political logic that lies behind all the massacres and the bombings which remain unpunished, because the state cannot convict itself or declare itself responsible for what happened," he added.
Imposimato stated that he was given the document by a former Ordine Nuovo terrorist. Members of Ordine Nuovo (Italian for "New Order") participated in numerous deadly terrorist attacks, including the 1969 Piazza Fontana bombing, the 1970 Rome-Messina train attack, the 1974Piazza della Loggia bombing in Brescia, and the Italicus Express bombing in 1974.

DIY Multi-Purpose Tractor (with Video)

Marcin Jakubowski didn't study fusion physics to become a farmer. But the Polish-American scientist grew more disillusioned with academia the longer he worked toward his doctorate.

Destroy CIA torture evidence, get a promotion?
Source: RT.com
--The acting director, who is allegedly in her 50s and speaks multiple languages, is thought to have served as chief of staff of the former head of the clandestine service, Jose Rodriguez. According to former officials who spoke to the Washington Post, Rodriguez and the woman repeatedly asked for permission to have the videotapes destroyed and were always denied. In 2005, they went ahead with the destruction anyway, ordering their staff to get rid of the evidence.
Despite this questionable decision, the woman now heads the clandestine service herself and may keep the position permanently if the agency decides to overlook her history. The position is crucial to the CIA's operations, since it is in charge of sending American spies overseas. The clandestine service also runs the agency's drone campaign.
--Due to an internal investigation regarding her involvement in the destruction of evidence, it is unclear whether the new director will remain in the position. Recently-appointed CIA head John Brennan, who was sworn into office this month, announced that he is evaluating several candidates for this position with the help of three former agency officers.
