Hello Admins,
I have the strange feeling that the truth is not growing exponentially anymore.
Can you verify this with your viewcount rates?
At least the maximum amount of users in this forum was a few days ago that points out that
I might be wrong.
I would appreciate a statement explaining your point of view!

Thank You

I have this funny feeling, This research is really starting to gain some ground... And so it should...
Just stumbled across this article a few days old...

http://www.veteranstoday.com/2012/03/06 ... -disaster/

I really do hope it makes it all the way,

They may lie in our news stories,
They may fake the 9/11 Images,
But they will Never Take our "FREEEEDDOOMMM" :o
Image :lol:

May reason prevail ... B)

A few quotes I find fitting for our ages,

"The greatest shortcoming of the human race is our inability to understand the exponential function"
Albert A. Bartlett, physicist (b. 1923)

"One resists the invasion of armies; one does not resist the invasion of ideas" or paraphrased; "Nothing is as powerful as an idea whose time has come"
Victor Hugo, writer/poet (1802–1885)

Perhaps it's wishful thinking, but the power of the information available at this point, and the exponential potential of the Internet is generally underestimated, but for me holds the hope of a new enlightenment, comparable with the one following the invention of the printing press and paper.

I do imagine, while rising viewcounts are encouraging, that there are those viewers who look at the forum, anywhere from a one-time view, to those who made a study of it, and then have moved on to other interests.

The viewers who see it once, there is at least the seed planted in their mind, which may lay dormant until they are again exposed to these ideas. The viewers who spend more time and then move on, they have a better perception of these ideas, and even though they may not be visiting regularly, they still are able to spread the word when the opportunity comes up for them -- again planting a seed for future possbile growth.

All is good.

NYTIMES rehash of Titanic sinking. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/10/science/a-new-look-at-natures-role-in-the-titanics-sinking.html?_r=1&ref=science Note the date: April 15, 1912. Fascinating date. Tax day in America. That is also the 105 day of the year (a magic number = 3 x 5 x 7). Well that was 100 years ago. Did it take 100 years to sink the American ship? A metaphor for the World or simply the US? Note the timing of the income tax law.

Wikipedia on the income tax law (aka the 16th Amendment):
On July 12, 1909, the resolution proposing the Sixteenth Amendment was passed by the Sixty-first Congress and submitted to the state legislatures. Support for the income tax was strongest in the western states and opposition was strongest in the northeastern states.[18] In 1910, New York Governor Charles Evans Hughes, shortly before becoming a Supreme Court Justice, spoke out against the income tax amendment. While he supported the idea of a federal income tax, Hughes believed the words "from whatever source derived" in the proposed amendment implied that the federal government would have the power to tax state and municipal bonds. He believed this would excessively centralize governmental power and "would make it impossible for the state to keep any property".[19]

Three advocates for a federal income tax ran in the presidential election of 1912.[20] On February 25, 1913, Secretary of State Philander Knox proclaimed that the amendment had been ratified by the necessary three-fourths of the states; thus, it had become part of the Constitution.[21] The Revenue Act of 1913 was enacted shortly thereafter.


Back to the Times article:
The Titanic was the largest and most luxurious ship of its time, a glittering icon of the good life. It carried 10 millionaires, including Isidor Straus of Macy’s, then the world’s largest department store.


The good life at risk today not for the very rich, but indeed for the rest of the world as fossil fuel stores decline and wealth "virtual" and "real" wealth is concentrated at the top. As I have noted, even gold bars are no longer solid. Gold is being cut. The Stock market is a virtual circus of "fake" wealth unless you are in the inside circle and know the event ahead of time -- which fakery affords in our current mode of the mass media.

Back to the Times:
The icy waters that night created ideal conditions for an unusual kind of mirage, according to Mr. Maltin, who owns a public relations firm in London and has written three books on the Titanic.


Indeed the Titanic captain could not see the ice because of a mirage effect. Well the whole scene is a mirage more or less and the authors are not afraid to use the exact idea that the titanic is a show and play-acted skit on the sinking of the "good life."

The story goes that another ship "Californian" could have warned the Titanic, but it did not. Some say the captain was negligent on the Californian, but he was fooled by mirage:

The Californian’s captain is often vilified as irresponsible and criminally negligent. But Mr. Maltin says Captain Lord may have genuinely mistaken the giant liner for a small ship.

The title for Mr. Maltin’s book comes from the concluding remarks the captain made when asked by an inquiry about the causes of the disaster.

“It was,” he replied, “a very deceiving night.”


Can they make this stuff up? The Lord made a mistake. It was "a very deceiving night." I bet it was!

Here's the link to yesterday's radio show: http://www.therealnewsonline.com/upload ... 4-8-12.mp3

Kudos go to Brian Staveley and Justin Cooke for running, imho, the coolest & brightest radio show in the USA! :)

(Hope you won't be too disappointed with my unfluent spoken English, folks. Not getting much English 'speech practice' lately, here in Italy...)

The site seems to be down, and I was unable to get enough Internet connectivity last night to listen to the whole show live. I hope the site comes back up, if not - please host a copy of the interview.

Of what I caught, you had a pleasant, soft spoken english. Good enough to narrate videos :D
