The RIGHT Forum: Bilderberg

Pfc. Sandoval and Pat Macpherson, Wisdom Quarterly

LAPD gets new DraganFlyer drones from Seattle police. The Los Angeles Police Department is getting two drones from Seattle police, whose pro-Socialist residents refuse to allow their police to use them (Mesa County Sheriff's Dept/Erika Aguilar/SCPR.org).

As the Left Forum met in New York City over the weekend, a far more secretive and sinister set of individuals met in Denmark to plan the future of the economy and world. For years the mainstream media, the heads of which are on the secret invitation list, denied that this annual meeting exists. It's not the only one of its kind, but it is one of growing influence. Neo-Nazis attend, and only libertarian/reactionary Alex Jones (InfoWars.com) is yelling, or even whispering, about it. It is real, and there is now a superficial Website that confirms its existence. The U.S. government openly lied about the existence of Area 51 then minimized its significance once it admitted lying. The military-industrial complex, the marriage of public government and private corporations, having lied now minimize and say of Bilderberg, "Nothing to see here." What do Globalists do, what do elitists want, what are Wall Street bankers engaged in international finance planning?

 

The Alex Jones Show covers some of the biggest revelations coming from this year's explosive Bilderberg meeting in Copenhagen, Denmark.

The annual meeting of renowned globalists, banksters, and corporate CEOs received virtually no coverage by the establishment media.

The show also looks at the blowout over the Sgt. Bergdahl trade as Republicans accuse Obama of negotiating with terrorists in a suspiciously timed storytrying to overshadow the VA scandal. 

The Obama administration is making renewed efforts to target the coal industry by imposing draconian cuts in carbon emissions as part of the government's climate change agenda. That should be good but it is very misleading, focusing on carbon istead of methane and other much more polluting greenhouse gases and toxins. Carbon is not the problem, but it is the one the mouth of the military-industrial complex is railing against.

Jones talks with investigative journalist and author Jon Rappoport, who edits NoMoreFakeNews.com. His books include AIDS Inc.: Scandal of the Century and Oklahoma City Bombing: The Suppressed Truth.

Golden Scholars: UC Berkeley researchers control cell migration, revolutionize economics with Buddha

This is the start of a new series focusing on the academic discoveries at UC Berkeley. Getting things started with the non-magic magic of Berkeley is Prof. Brown teaching economics with the Buddha, and others using Oski to help advance tissue engineering and wound healing.

 

California Golden Blogs (CGB)'s new series highlights the research and academic work being done at UC Berkeley. One of the things to love best about this place is its ability to succeed in the world of athletics and academics, so spending more time sharing the amazing work being done by UC academicians and athletes makes sense.

Coincidentally, the university just released a video on Twitter to promote this balance of success (see above). 

It features prominent Berkeley researchers -- including Jay Keasling, Homayoon Kazerooni, and Robert Reich -- whose work will be discussed later in the series.

 

Some stories that capture Berkeley's spirit include economics professor Clair Brown, who's looking to change the way the world views spending money and focus instead on reducing suffering and helping others. 

To accomplish this, she's helping spread the word and advocate for Buddhist economics. More

Buddhist Economics: oxymoron or idea whose time has come? Kathleen Maclay (Media Relations, 3-13-14) 

“How would Buddha teach Econ. 1?”

BERKELEY, California - UC Berkeley economist Prof. Clair Brown acknowledges that “Buddhist economics” may seem like an oxymoron.
 
Nevertheless, she’s teaching a sophomore seminar on the topic this semester -- the campus’s second such offering over the past year.
 

What's the future of money, Bits or Buddha?

Brown said she created the one-unit Buddhist Economics course after students in her Introductory Economics (Econ 1) class expressed frustration with the relentless Madison Avenue message that more is better, economic growth paves the path to a better life, and “retail therapy” is a quick trip to nirvana [ultimate bliss].

It's sustainable, it's all sustainable!

Nicholas Austin -- an economics major from Laguna Beach, Orange County, California, and a student this spring in Brown’s Buddhist Economics class -- said he was hungry for some fresh ideas about economics after seeing so many students in the field pursue finance careers and “moving money rather than creating a product that will help the world.” More

"Kill Anything That Moves!" (video)

Pfc. Sandoval, Wisdom Quarterly; Mitch Jeserich (KPFA.org, 01-30-14), The Tet Offensive

(Movieclips) A scene from "Platoon" showing how Christian American soldiers treated innocent Buddhist civilians in a war that had nothing to do with religion and everything to do with money and our peculiar form of war-profiteering capitalism. See you in hell, Charlie.

We are currently doing the exact same thing to Afghans in Afghanistan without ever wondering who gets us into these apparently pointless wars (which are not pointless but based on lies that fall apart under scrutiny). "Truth is the first casualty of war." And "those who forget history are condemned to repeat it" as new White House and Pentagon officials seek more adventures in genocide, slavery, and atrocities in our and/or our God's name.

The historical Shakyamuni Buddha (WQ)

Journalist Nick Turse, author of Kill Anything That Moves: The Real American War in Vietnam (nickturse.com), talks about our previous adventure in American empire -- the U.S. War on Vietnam (and Laos and Cambodia). That was when we began to explain our fear-based massacres with koans like, "We had to burn the village to save the village." 

In the second 30 minutes of the show, Jane Gleeson-White talks about how accounting, bookkeeping, and high finance make everything possible -- including saving the world -- based on historical research from her fascinating book, Double Entry: How the Merchants of Venice Created Modern Finance.
