|  | Paying more for water won't reduce use: group
Ontario is on a "slippery slope" towards water corporatization and a user-pay system, warns the Council of Canadians.
The council voiced its concern Monday after Bill 237 passed second reading in the Ontario legislature last week.
The bill, introduced by Liberal MPP David Caplan, would require metering on all water usage to ensure that households pay the full costs of the service.
The bill would also create ... read more | categories: activism, crime and politics
|  | Danny Williams and the separatism of the rich
There is a depressing amount of material out there in the open-mouth-osphere, written by American know-nothing-party activists, crowing about Newfoundland Premier Danny Williams's decision to seek heart surgery in the United States. Proof, they are basically saying, that the Canadian health-care system cannot deliver basic services. And then the counter-offensive, which amounts to: "that's not true."

A triangular formation of lights was filmed flying at night at "incredible speed".
Experts reckon the sighting near the River Liffey in Dublin could be a secret aircraft - or spacecraft.
Nick Pope, who probed mystery sightings for the MoD for three years, said: "The video seems to have been taken through a night scope and presumably shows things not visible to the naked eye.

|  | Sex slaves victimized twice in US trafficking war
Sitting in the jail in Boone County, Mo., the Chinese woman didn't look like a criminal to Kelley Lucero. She looked like a middle-aged mom.
Soon, Lucero learned that the woman had indeed come to America to scout out a college for her teenage son. She had come, legally, as part of a cultural exchange program, but her life had taken an unexpected and terrifying turn in Middle America.

|  | Medical marijuana gets a boost from major doctors group
The American Medical Assn. on Tuesday urged the federal government to reconsider its classification of marijuana as a dangerous drug with no accepted medical use, a significant shift that puts the prestigious group behind calls for more research.

|  | Fighting the pixel addiction: a look at gamer rehab
At one point or another, most of us have probably heard someone talk about how their kids are addicted to video games. The concern is understandable: a lot of parents don't have a background with video games, and seeing their kids so obsessed with something they're not familiar with can be worrying. In some cases, parents are worrying over nothing, but in other instances, their concerns are well-founded. Of course, t... read more | categories: consciousness

| Top 10 Viewed Items |  | The 5-5-2000 Planetary Conjunction and Alleged "Global Disasters" Part 2
As we mentioned in our earlier missives [see Ancient Wisdom pp.93-94], the central star of our solar system, the Great RA, is a true, living entity, possessing its own intrinsic intelligence, consciousness and awareness. Now, this is a very difficult concept to understand, much less accept, by the average person not initiate din the ancient Hermetic-Gnostic mysteries, but what is occurring today -- as we have been ... read more | categories: paranormal, spirit
|  | The 5-5-2000 Planetary Conjunction and Alleged "Global Disasters"
A great deal of speculation and commotion has been going on for the past 5 weeks or so, on this occasion approaching the dreaded planetary conjunction on 5-5-2000 researched by Richard Noone some 30 years ago and published in his book in 1982. To begin with, it is imperative to realise that similar planetary conjunctions did occur in the past in the various constellation houses or zodiacal, astrological signs, as it... read more | categories: paranormal, environment, spirit

Based on the preceding section, we can expect several things to happen on planet Earth during this crucial, critical time, not as much in the geophysical aspect -- certainly not cataclysmic events -- but more in the psychological and socio-political and economic areas, largely motivated by astrological and astrophysical factors and influences. Now, we know that As Above, So Below: As Within, So Without, the ancient ... read more | categories: paranormal, activism, spirit, environment

|  | Quantum Mechanics, Chaos and the Conscious Brain
Abstract: A model is described in which subjective consciousness is generated through an unusual property of quantum non-locality. Chaos and bifurcation serve to link quantum transactions to global brain dynamics through the fractal architecture and dynamics of the central nervous system. The resulting process operates at the boundary between quantum computation and wave-particle reduction, thus combining optimality ... read more | categories: science, consciousness
