Digital Afterlife
Source: TheAtlantic.com
--Let's presume that at some future time we have all the technological pieces in place. When you're close to death we scan your details and fire up your simulation. Something wakes up with the same memories and personality as you. It finds itself in a familiar world. The rendering is not perfect, but it's pretty good. Odors probably don't work quite the same. The fine-grained details are missing. You live in a simulated New York City with crowds of fellow dead people but no rats or dirt. Or maybe you live in a rural setting where the grass feels like Astroturf. Or you live on the beach in the sun, and every year an upgrade makes the ocean spray seem a little less fake. There's no disease. No aging. No injury. No death unless the operating system crashes. You can interact with the world of the living the same way you do now, on a smart phone or by email. You stay in touch with living friends and family, follow the latest elections, watch the summer blockbusters. Maybe you still have
a job in the real world as a lecturer or a board director or a comedy writer. It's like you've gone to another universe but still have contact with the old one.
But is it you? Did you cheat death, or merely replace yourself with a creepy copy?

Dear France: The Government Will Not Protect You From Tractor Trailers (Video)
Source: Corbett Report
As the Problem-Reaction-Solution (Nice edition) plays out as expected, it is time to remind ourselves: The government is not your daddy and it will not protect you from the boogeyman. The government creates the boogeyman to scare you. Giving more power to the government in the wake of every tragedy only incentivizes them to terrorize you further.

The CIA's 'Pokémon Go' App is Doing What the Patriot Act Can't
Source: Corbett Report
--Firstly, the app requires an excessive amount of permissions on a user's device, including the ability to read your contacts, find accounts on your device, and access your camera. The app even requires full access to a user's Google account, which it can then use to read your emails, send emails from your account, browse your Google Drive documents and photos, etc. But apparently that's just "a mistake" and will be "corrected soon."
Secondly, the game's privacy policy contains such gems as: "We may disclose any information about you (or your authorized child) that is in our possession or control to government or law enforcement officials or private parties." What could go wrong?
But wait, it gets worse!
pokemonciaThe maker of the app? Niantic Labs. Never heard of them? That's because until last year they were an internal start-up of none other than Google, the NSA-linked Big Brother company. Even now Google remains one of Niantic's major backers. Niantic was founded by John Hanke, who also founded Keyhole, Inc., the mapping company which was created with seed money from In-Q-Tel, the CIA's venture capital arm, and which was eventually rolled into Google Maps.
So yes, the Pokémon game currently taking the internet by storm (and scooping up all their data, including activities, movements and communications) was created by a CIA-linked businessman who gestated his company at Google.
Feeling safe yet?
As it turns out, the big, bad Big Brother Spies of the NSA and the DHS and the CIA don't really need their Patriot Act powers, after all. All the powers-that-shouldn't-be need to do is create a fun, shiny trinket for the people to play with and they will literally pay for their own surveillance.

"DDT is Good for Me!" Pesticide Propaganda, then and now (Video)

The dangers of glyphosate (Roundup) in our food supply are clear and present. Why are industry and government not acting as they should? Just as was the case in the 1950s with DDT and tobacco, we are on the brink of disastrous damage to health worldwide.

Dissecting the Royal Society's GMO Whitewash (Video)
Source: CorbettReport.com
Dr. Robert Verkerk is the Executive and Scientific Director of the Alliance for Natural Health. Today we discuss his recent article, "UK Royal Society whitewash on GM crops," which breaks down the Royal Society's recent report on the safety of genetically modified foods. From false assurances of consensus to exclusion of key issues like glyphosates and superweeds, we show how the latest report is a whitewash and discuss why the Royal Society is promoting the biotech industry.
Watch video at: https://youtu.be/7TXj4dxpHf4
COMMENT: Also, regarding the claim that GMO's are needed to "feed the world," this article points out some facts that most people are unaware of:
"Emily Cassidy, an (EWG) research analyst who authored the report, found that in the last 20 years, yields of both GE corn and soy have been no different from traditionally bred corn and soy grown in western Europe, where GE crops are banned. Additionally, a recent case study in Africa found that crops that were crossbred for drought tolerance using traditional techniques improved yields 30 percent more than GE varieties, she wrote.
"The report also said that in the two decades that GE crops have been a mainstay in conventional agriculture, they "have not substantially improved global food security" and have instead increased the use of toxic herbicides and led to herbicide-resistant "superweeds." (FYI: superweeds have spread to more than 60 million acres of U.S. farmland, wreaking environmental and economic havoc along the way).
"She pointed out that while corn and soybeans take up the vast majority (about 80 percent) of global land devoted to growing GE crops, they are not even used to feed people but instead as animal feed or fuel."

America: The Greatest Country on Earth (Video)

Guess how leftists, millennials and 'Black Lives Matter' morons decided to celebrate the 4th of July?
Watch video at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RX1GhVio4no
COMMENT: My thoughts:
If I was a psychotic social engineer, working hard to destroy "America," I would love this video. Why? Because this is part of their divide-and-conquer paradigm...get people hysterically upset about an "enemy" (liberal, terrorist, etc.), and use that hysteria to drive the target population back into supporting the real enemy.
In short: While we're herded into our "us-VS-them" box, and as we're enjoying our sense of moral and intellectual superiority, the sociopaths that are using government to enslave us are safe. They can rest assured that "Left and Right" will both have a new target for their outrage. (And both will instinctively seek "government representatives" that promise to contain the threat.)
This process only perpetuates / empowers the corrupt system. People become apologists for the crimes advocated and committed by "their side" because they believe "their side" is trying to protect them. Sure, some of the puppets might have good intentions, but "the experts / social engineers" are using those puppets to serve other ends.

Who profits from never-ending war? How do we all pay the price? Here is an excellent 30-minute documentary on the topic. If you like it, please consider kicking in a few bucks so the film maker can turn it into a full-length film.
