The USA / Saudi Arabia relationship and why the USA goes to war in the Middle East

Great video covering these points and more:
  • How in 1973 the Petrodollar agreement was made with Saudi Arabia and extended to all of OPEC in 1975
  • How this forced every nation on earth to maintain a supply of dollars
  • How the petrodollar system gives the US its very own “money tree”.
  • How the US depends on petrodollar system to fund its military empire
  • Why the US “takes out” anyone or any nation who challenges this petrodollar standard e.g. Iraq and Libya

The Future: evolution from humans into cyber-humans, transhumanism

Image
I came across some interesting ideas on the future of mankind in a book about the supermodel Kate Moss, by Christian Salmon,* which featured this picture of her: Salmon says:   "In this image knocked together on the Internet, the visible body is fused with the written body.  The technique of morphing has created a written and coded cyborg-body.   The cyborg's stock of images expresses the ideal of limitless individual mutability beyond distinctions of gender, character, and species.”    He also writes:  “Fashion is experimenting with new relationships to the body, gender, and race. Google establishes the hierarchy of deities on the Web and draws their navigation maps.  Kate Moss is one of Google's unquestioned goddesses, a Calypso with mysterious powers to captivate or a modern Daphne who is able to metamorphose so as to escape her media hounds.  The Kate Moss myth defies time through metamorphosis. "The individual who brought the i...

Hateful "Christians"

This ATLAH church uses the Bible to defend its view that Jesus would stone "homos".  I have no idea how they could come to that conclusion from John 8:1-11.  This passage tells the story of Jesus and a woman caught in adultery.  The teachers of the Law brought this woman to Jesus, because they wanted to trap him.  They said to ...

Iranian cleric: "We could put down Israel in two weeks"

Image
BY: Adam Kredo A top Iranian lawmaker and cleric said that the country’s uranium enrichment program could allow it to build a nuclear weapon “in two weeks” in order to “put down Israel,” according to multiple reports in the Farsi language press. Iranian lawmaker and cleric Muhammad Nabavian said on Friday that Iran would be able to build a nuclear bomb in “two weeks” if it gets “access to 270 kilograms of 20 percent [enriched uranium], 10 tons of 5 percent, and 20 thousand centrifuges,” according to reports on Iran’s Radio Farda and in Fararu . “We are not looking for a nuclear bomb, but having a nuclear bomb is necessary to put down Israel,” Nabavian said, according to an independent translation of his remarks provided to the Washington Free Beacon . Nabavian went on to claim that President Barack Obama had courted Iranian President Hassan Rouhani in the lead up to nuclear negotiations with the West last year. Nabavian said Rouhani revealed in a ...
