Cursed is the day
That is Friday
The thirteenth
The four-legged
Acrobat
On a trapeze
One for twelve
Makes for a jinxed day
An evil thought
Makes for a lucky day

Electrifying the Sky: 10 Things You Should Know About Geoengineering
I would like to direct your attention to this article in particular above any other. As the 21st United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP21), to be held in Paris this year from 30th November to 11th December, is drawing closer, I believe it is vitally important not to be fooled by the alleged causes of the assumed global warming resulting of carbon emissions, but rather to become seriously alarmed at the devastating measures used on the pretext to fight it — that is by increasing the albedo (reflectivity) of the Earth through a build-up of sulphate aerosols in the atmosphere that would supposedly compensate for the infamous greenhouse effect. The “chemtrails” left by daily spraying carried out by aircraft in the sky are definitely not contrails (condensation trails) as we are led to believe (check the famous “Chemtrail Conspiracy” on Wikipedia). The differing views regarding the hidden agenda (aliens, demonic entities, psychopathic elites, whatever) behind these disastrous practices do not matter much because the end result will be the same and will decimate our beautiful planet and all lifeforms on it before long if we, average citizens, keep pretending that kind of concern is beyond our influence. Such attitude unfortunately just makes us as guilty. Some may not feel concerned for various reasons — apathy, ignorance, fear, sense of helplessness, denial, fatalism or lack of realism, disbelief — in short, it is in order to feel overwhelmed by such unabated efforts to destroy everything and to remain in complete denial, but we can also make a determine effort to prevent it from happening and pull the hypnotised off their toxic smoke screens.
Ey@elGeoengineering, often referred to as weather modification, is one of the most important issues of our time that almost no one is willing to talk about. No matter how much information is publicly released about government and corporate sponsored projects that tamper with our skies, mainstream media will not support any investigation into the matter, and any coverage of this issue frames concerned citizens as paranoid or irrational. Yet some are unwilling to ignore this issue.
Dane Wigington, founder of GeoengineeringWatch.org, is a courageous man who has taken on an all out herculean effort to make people aware that geoengineering is real, and that is affecting our weather, our environment, and our health. His website has become the leading independent online database of information on atmospheric aerosol spraying, weather modification projects, air, soils and water samples, and other scientific data documenting this taboo crime against humanity.

Time
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an off-hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say
Home, home again!
I like to be here when I can
When I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away, across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spell

Has Our Addiction to Sugar Gotten Out of Hand?
Funny how a British Chef is the one lecturing us about food. No doubt some may find it offensive — that is your right no to take personal responsibility — but like alcohol, sugar is hard drug (that is not my opinion: some serious scientific studies have concluded to that). Surely excessive sugar consumption may not lead to public disturbance nor assault and is very unlikely to cause traffic accidents either, but it may certainly cause serious even lethal diseases and accelerated ageing of the body (glycation). That said, it won't come as a big surprise to those with a basic knowledge of chemistry since alcohol is obtained by fermenting carbohydrates (sugars).
Thereupon I can hear you say : “Yes, but I don't eat that much sugar!” Really? What do you mean by “not that much” ? Actually, if when you're full, you still find yourself drooling over a tasty dessert presented to you (or on screen), or if you find it hard to say no when offered some chocolates to tempt you (people aren't comfortable with living with their own vice so they usually attempt to justify their bad habits by enticing others), well sorry to have to tell you but you're addicted. A little, a lot, madly, truly... I don't know. It's less the strength of your addiction than the absence of addiction that really matters here.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not lecturing you. I too, have been unknowingly addicted. It took some health issues to force me to realise it subsequently after withdrawal — which actually went out smoothly without feeling punished nor frustrated, because in my mind I was doing a special favour to myself, a second chance to regain control of my body, emotions and health. I even discovered an iron will I didn't know I had in me and I'm very proud of it. Proud not to worry about temptation; proud to be slim again; proud to have achieved that on my own; and definitely relived to be free of cravings, sickness and hypoglycemic episodes. Admittedly, suppressing sugar wasn't the only factor (I also suppressed gluten, exercise, do yoga, meditate), but one thing's for sure: sugar doesn't soothe your mood; instead it promotes and nurtures depression. In much the same way as alcohol.
Ey@elSugar consumption and the detrimental impact it is having on our health continues to be a hot topic of discussion worldwide. Whether it be a man giving up sugar and alcohol consumption for a month to see how his body responds, or an infographic showing its effect on the body, sugar is certainly in the spotlight, and for good reason.
One person at the forefront of the battle against the sweet substance is celebrity chef, restauranteur, and media personality, Jamie Oliver. Jamie is recognized by most for his work on cooking TV stations worldwide, but is now using his respected presence to speak out against something about which he is very passionate.

Circe
Since last year's pumpkins caused heartburns to some, this time I shall spare them the trouble of having to spit out the seeds by directly supplying bottled acid! Also, this hot witch might delight those who actually “don't give a damn about Halloween” (sic). So here is Circe. In Greek mythology, she's an extremely powerful goddess of magic, “renowned for her vast knowledge of potions and herbs likely to induce transformations.” She's described either as a sorceress or as an enchantress.

What You’re Supposed to Think vs. What You Think
Another article which comes just at the right time. Like about much everything in my life in fact. For the last couple of years, after I ceased being “comatose”, I've been feeling as if I were Hop-o'-My-Thumb and now I wouldn't go back the other way for the world. Because I'm no longer afraid of ogres. Neither of the Big Bad Wolf nor the Grim Reaper. Actually, the three Little Pigs, dumb as a bag of hammers, or Little Red Riding Hood and her senile grandma with her jars of pasteurised GMO butter, would be more likely to freak me out. At least, predators are intelligent creatures. But sheeple are stupid. As a matter of fact, I never got why the Little Prince wanted the aviator to draw him a sheep. I, for one, would agree to drop the whole shipment on his little tiny planet — that certainly would overpopulate it! So, as I was saying, this article is ideal to set the record straight. It reminded me of the mind-blowing, disgustingly naive “Je suis Charlie” phenomenon that went viral earlier this year as it was echoed by all blogs all over the world. Let it be said that I am NOT and NEVER will be Charlie for the very reason cited here by Mr. Rappoport and on top of what David Icke and a few others already said, as well as my personal stance on the issue.
Ey@elI could trace my 30 years of investigative reporting as one long project emanating from what people are supposed to think.
What they’re supposed to think about nuclear weapons, pesticides, medical drugs, vaccines, presidential elections, major media, the CIA, US foreign policy, mega-corporations, brain research, collectivism, surveillance, psychiatry, immigration…
In each case, there are a set of messages broadcast to the population. These messages are projected to replace what people would think on their own, if left to their own devices.
And in many cases, these messages have the same underlying theme: feel unlimited sympathy.
Feel unlimited sympathy or else.

The Moth
A while ago I had shared my great liking for the art of talented Argentinian illustrator Gaston Viñas whose favourite medium is cartoon animation. His works include two videos for Radiohead. Like me, that's actually after randomly viewing his "2+2=5" clip on YouTube that Kingcrow singer Diego Marchesi was inspired to contact him: “I told Gaston how much I appreciated his art. He wrote back that he loved Kingcrow – and that’s how it started. I gave him some input about the album concept, the artwork and the lyrics, and he came out with another brilliant piece of art.” The somewhat atypical Italian hard rock sextet, who took its name from a poem by Edgar Poe, was founded in the late 1990's in Rome and has ever since known many changes in its original line-up. This excellent track comes from their sixth album Eidos, released this year on independent label Sensory Records. Incidentally, I had just completed an article on summer bugs (essentially based on French idiomatic expressions and puns which can't be translated into English) featuring an animated GIF with moths circling around a lighted lantern when Gaston sent me this video (in July). I found the coincidence rather amusing.
Ey@elReally don’t you realize
What you lost during your search for glory?
Just like moths we may go blind
Chasing for the glow of our desires.
Time keeps crawling
While you’re burning...
Time keeps crawling
While you’re burning...
Dealing with some big regret
Or dreaming of a different life somewhere else —
Someone else
And your heroes turned to dust.
Did you trade your dreams for common knowledge?
Was it fair?
Time keeps crawling
While you’re burning...
Time keeps crawling
While you’re burning...
Sometimes it calls
And the past howls through the night...
Sometimes it calls
And the past howls through the night...
