A Talk By Naomi Klein on Her Book "The Shock Doctrine"

This is a talk given given by Naomi Klein at the First Unitarian Church in Portland on December 7 2007 about her book "The Shock Doctrine". Naomi is one of the finest reporters of her time, nothing she writes cannot be proved. I have mentioned her before in a few Blogs and here you can see her in the flesh so to speak. Excuse the quality, sound and vision get out of sync, but, the sound and message is clear.

For those in Britain go to Chanel4.com where you can watch a documentary on the Shock Doctrine that was broadcast on More4 on Sept 1 2009 and which presently can be viewed for 26 days more.

Nostradamus - Al Stewart




NOSTRADAMUS lyrics AL STEWART
In the east the wind is blowing the boats across the sea
And their sails will fill the morning and their cries ring out to me
Oh, Oh
Oh, the more it changes, the more it stays the same
And the hand just re-arranges the players in the game

Oh, I had a dream, it seemed I stood alone
And the veil of all the years
Goes sinking from my eyes like a stone

A king shall fall and put to death by the English parliament shall be
Fire and plague to London come in the year of six and twenties three
An emperor of France shall rise who will be born near Italy
His rule shall cost his empire dear, Napoloron his name shall be
From Castile does Franco come and the Government driven out shall be
An English king seeks divorce, and from his throne cast down is he
One named Hister shall become a captain of Greater Germany
No law does this man observe and bloody his rise and fall shall be

Man, man, your time is sand, your ways are leaves upon the sea
I am the eyes of Nostradamus, all your ways are known to me
Man, man, your time is sand, your ways are leaves upon the sea
I am the eyes of Nostradamus, all your ways are known to me

In the new lands of America three brothers now shall come to power
Two alone are born to rule but all must die before their hour
Two great men yet brothers not make the north united stand
Its power be seen to grow, and fear possess the eastern lands
Three leagues from the gates of Rome a Pope named Pol is doomed to die
A great wall that divides a city at this time is cast aside
These are the signs I bring to you to show you when the time is nigh
Man, man, your time is sand, your ways are leaves upon the sea
I am the eyes of Nostradamus, all your ways are known to me

The Missing Apollo Videotapes And Data

It's the 40th anniversary of the first moon landing and here is some information that will probably not be talked about in any of the forthcoming TV programs about it.

During the first moon landing a large amount of video was transmitted to NASA. The pictures captured were taken by a specially designed TV camera using Slow Scan TV (SSTV) and were of high quality. These were the pictures shown on the NASA monitors, but, they were then rescanned and converted to a format capable of being transmitted to ordinary home TV. It was these lower resolution images which we saw and which are always shown on TV or in newspapers etc. As technology has advanced we are now capable of taking these original high definition images and further enhancing them as was expected. Unfortunately a little problem has occurred, all the original images have disappeared. Nearly 700 boxes of these images have vanished into the twilight zone or are sitting in someones house.

As the images were coming in and being displayed on NASA monitors someone took Polaroid photos of them and these are the only records of some of the images that have survived. The 6 videos below are a recording of an interview with Richard C. Hoagland on Coast To Coast AM and include images of the moon etc. talked about.
Richard C. Hoagland is a former space science museum curator; a former NASA consultant, and during the historic Apollo Missions to the Moon, was science adviser to Walter Cronkite and CBS News. For over 20 years, Hoagland has been leading an outside scientific team in a critically acclaimed independent analysis of possible intelligently-designed artifacts on Mars. Richard and his team's investigations have been quietly extended to include over 30 years of previously hidden data from NASA, Soviet, and Pentagon missions to the Moon. Still images can be found here and on his site you will find much interesting information.
