Razboiul informatiilor. Acesta este un concept stabilit pentru prima data de americani si consta in utilizarea ofensiva si defensiva a sistemelor de informare pentru a exploata, corupe si distruge informatiile si sistemele de informare ale adversarului, protejandu-se insa propriile informatii si sisteme ...

Parzitii
nu toti cetatenii trebuie sa se astepte la ostilitati. Aparatul represiv si pupuncuristii sint si ei tot cetatenii Romaniei ei sint cei care pastreaza ordinea si linistea cetateanului (a lor insisi). Atita timp cit numarul acestora este mai mare atunci balanta se va inclina spre ei. Ei vor apara valorile democratiei si linsistea cetatenilor fideli (epurare etnica) in timp ce pentru ceilalti se vor chema ostiliati. Cu cit numarul si vocea celor nemultumiti vor creste cu atit represiunile vor fi mai justificabile. Cu atit mai mult ei vor creea pozitii noi in aparatul de represiune si cistiga putere pentru ca ei sint “suportati” financiar de … chiar victimele lor. Ei pot sa faca anumite lucruri sub acoperirea legii pe care voi nu puteti. Dar puteti sa vorbiti liber despre inmultirea magnoliilor, imblinzirea puilor de cirtita, puteti, sa-l injurati pe presedinte si alesii vostrii ca sa se vada (chiar si la TV) cit de permisiv este regimul (democratic binenteles) cu cei care nu impartasesc aceleasi idei cu ei.Da, Judex, tara tot asa va ramane daca voi vreti sa ramina asa. Iar ca unii vor se inteleaga ca numai in Romania este asa de rau, nu este decit infatuarea imbecila a celui ce nu a depasit granitele mentale ale cartierului. Daca tu imi dai exemplu o tara unde fortele politienesti sint in descrestere si apara oamenii de rind, cei lipsiti de resurse si nu linistea si bogatia conducatorilor si acolitilor lor atunci mai vorbim. Sistemul actual (actual nu insemna neaparat nou, a mai fost, actorii/spectatorii sint noi) a fost creeat ca sa produca discrepante, concurenta, dezordine organizata pina la iminentul haos chiar mult temutul anarhism (apogeul raului nu???) pentru a tine in viata parazitii.
Din ciclul amintit
nu repetati decit anii 60, 70 din occident. Unde a ajuns occidentul acum? Ei se bucura ca voi se protestati, sa iesiti in strada sa fie chiar si tulburari (ei sint protejati) vor avea de lucru. Iar ceea ce vor sa faca vor face acum sau mai tirziu. Parazitii societatii cistiga de pe urma voastra in acest sistem. Nu faceti decit sa fiti analizati in sedinte si data viitoare vor veni mai puternici in timp ce voi veti fi tot mai putini si demoralizati. Solutia este alta! Gasiti-o daca vreti sa scrieti istoria daca nu veti fi istorie pentru altii.

Energia maro
masina aia de manipulare nu e sustinuta de forte oculte ci de voi. Ca vreti voi sa fie mai misterios ca sa va ascundeti in fata neputintei asta e altceva. Ca sa aveti independeta politica trebuie sa aveti independenta economica financiara, trebuie sa aveti independenta energetica. Iar romanul sub asaltul mediatic s-a trezit consumator peste noapte, s-a occidentalizat, crede ca bunastarea lui materiala va fi nefinita. Ori asa ceva nu se va intimpla. Lasati politica in mina parazitilor si incepeti sa fiti independeti energetic lasati-i pe ei sa dea cite legi vor pentru "binele" nostru.

Un roman treaz
Sa fie clar ca politicienii nostrii precum si reprezentantii nostrii in organisme internationale nu sunt alceva decat niste ticalosi ordinari, unelte in mana ocultei internationale, care nu ne reprezinta pe noi ci pe stapanii lor de la tel aviv si uasinton. noii stapani ai lumii finanteaza si promoveaza hotia, depravarea, decaderea morala a cetatenilor planetei si mai ales a crestinilor. Reprezentantii nostrii la onu era normal sa voteze pt. depravare alaturi de israel si statele unite. Ca doar ei sunt niste slugi de cea mai joasa speta si asta stiu sa faca, sa joace dupa cum le canta stapanii. Scopul acestor stapani ai lumii este acela de a demonstra ca cetatenii planetei si mai ales crestinii nu sunt altceva decat o masa de decazuti si depravati ce in final vor fi tratati ca atare, prin forta si teroare ca pe animale. Acolo vor sa ne aduca. Toate astea completatea cu problema falsa, indusa de ei a terorimului international. Si cand vor crea aceste conditii, vor instaura un regim dictatorial spunandu-ne ca este ultima solutie de salvare a planetei. De fapt scopul lor final este acela de a acapara puterea politica, economica, militara, finantele, resursele minerale, etc. la nivel global.
in sfirsit avem un roman care s-a desteptat . Cit va mai trebui pina sa si actionezi?
da-mi voie gruia numai o rectificare:
cetatenii planetei, dar nu in totalitate, pentru ca foarte multi au iesit din sistem dar binenteles ca sub controlul “democratiei” nu se va stii curind de ei pentru ca nu au “mijloace” democratice prin care sa se faca auziti.
iar crestinii pe linga ce spui tu eu as adauga in plus o masa usor manipulabila, infirorator de dezinformata, lipsita de resurse, planificat dezorientata (cum frumos spun ei creative destruction) pe care papusarii nu pot sa se abtina sa nu o utilizeze.
In rest ce sa mai spun ref la articol ca urmeaza o lege (poate este deja dar inca nu a inceput persecutia) prin care sa se interzica ca si aici in “democratie” orice comentariu la adresa stim noi caror “favorizati” de natura sau D-zeul lor personal. Si cu asta basta. Nici usturoi n-ai mincat nici gura nuti pute. Ce daca democratia “prost inteleasa” am extrapola-o putin si am mai ingradi putin din liberatile astea democratice. Ca sa aparam “valorile” democratiei, binenteles!

Timpul gresit
nu am vazut nici un judeo-crestin sa protesteze impotriva folosirii calculatorului, internetului, telefonului (fie el mobil sau fix) caselor de marcat care nu mai permit (furtul din gestiune al amarastenilor) a automobilului de servici al preotului al televizorului si multe alte "instrumente diavolesti si pierzatoare de suflet".
Dar daca duhovnicul va va spune ca "hai mai facem si noi o concesie mica, deh ce sa facem ne schimbam si noi cu lumea" atunci vom merge iarasi in ...Rai. De data asta ne-a spus-o El ca e permis. Depinde de cotatia de la bursa. Asadar observati bine ca venitul unor este direct proportional cu aparitia "satanei". Cum ar spune maimutica scote castanele din foc cu mina altuia. As fi curios citi ar refuza implantul atunci cind vor sti ca copii lor nu vor putea sa intre intr-o scoala "safe" si vor prefera sa isi trimita copii la o scoala de periferie unde sint liberi sa moara orcind la alegerea unui descreierat. Citi nu vor implora implantul atunci cind nu vor putea cumpara cele necesare vietii? Citi refuza azi sa faca tranzactii online doar pentru ca nu e sigur si e un risc? Preferi cash sa platesti la ghiseu? Care ghiseu? Acolo e robotul !!! NU e tipenie de om in toata cladirea !! Oamenii se lupta cu fortele Raului pentru "linistea ta". Realizati si voi ca aceste lucruri sint pentru o alta lume pe care arhitectii au desenat-o nu pentru noi ci pentru clonele noastre. Acum se testeaza piata si rezultatul este pozitiv ca intodeauna.

Stimabilul Milton ori descentralizarea in lumea 3-a
Problemele au fost generate de guverne, amplificate de media (tot guvern) iar in spatele guvernului este cine? Contribuabilul este doar masca care inca nu a cazut dar in spate este tot the corporation. Asa ca incercarea mascata de a arunca vina asupra guvernelor este superflua deoarece nu poti culpabiliza pe cineva care nici macar nu exista. Societatea democratica este un tel, la fel cum a fost si utopicul comunism. Ceea ce se intimpla este incercarea de acaparare a banilor publici pentru finantarea unui sistem corupt. Criza este combustibilul economiei capitaliste iar corporatia este motorul unde se arde gazul de pomana.
"Ce se intampla cu firmele, oamenii ???" ei sint cei care platesc oalele sparte sau ei sint oalele sparte, ei sint victimele colaterale, de unde se vede viabilitatea acestui sistem.
Cit priveste economia privata ferita de coruptie, probabil te referi la teoriile care le invatati voi pe la scolile lui Friedman.

Plimba ba URSUL
Every year in India and Pakistan over 100 bear cubs are illegally poached from the wild and sold at markets to nomadic gypsies known as Kalandars. Many of the cubs die from neglect, dehydration and distress during the long trek back to the Kalandar village. Those cubs that do survive are put on a punishing regime of starvation and beatings as a way to begin the brutal conditioning process to teach them perform for tourists. Their sensitive muzzles are pierced using a hot iron needle without anesthetic, which often leads to infection. A course rope is threaded through the hole and is used to roughly pull the bear around the crowded city streets. "The tug of this rope, along with the intense fear of the strike of a heavy stick, motivates the bear to lift its legs in turn and dance" says Geete Sashamani, a WSPA researcher who witnessed this painful and traumatic process.
Due to poor diets, abuse and neglect, dancing bears rarely live past the age of eight; whereas in the wild they can live up to 30 years. Once captured and cruelly tamed, a dancing bear can never be returned to the wild; its most optimistic outlook is retirement to a sanctuary. This endangered species will become extinct if this trade continues.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS ABOUT DEMOGRAPHIC WINTER
Question : What is population stability, and why is the number 2.1 so important?
Answer:
Population stability is the point of equilibrium at which a country’s population is neither growing nor declining. In order to maintain current population, the average woman must have 2.1 children during her lifetime. Essentially, she needs to replace herself and a man. Because some children will die before reaching maturity, slightly more than two children are needed. Hence, 2.1.
A birthrate of more than 2.1 equals population growth. A birthrate of less than 2.1 means long term population decline. The rate of 2.1 is based on currently low infant mortality rates. In countries where infant mortality is higher, the birthrate required for population replacement would also be higher.
Question: What does the expression “Demographic Winter” mean?
Answer:
“Demographic Winter” denotes the worldwide decline in birthrates, also referred to as a “birth-dearth,” and what it portends.
Demographer Philip Longman (author of “The Empty Cradle: How Falling Birthrates Threaten World Prosperity”) observes: “The ongoing global decline in human birthrates is the single most powerful force affecting the fate of nations and the future of society in the 21st. century.”
Worldwide, birthrates have been halved in the past 50 years. There are now 59 nations, with 44% of the world’s population, with below-replacement fertility
Sometime in this century, the world’s population will begin to decline. At a certain point, the decline will become rapid. We may even reach population free-fall in our lifetimes.For some countries, population decline is already a reality. Russia is losing three-quarters-of-a-million people a year. Its population (currently 145 million) is expected to fall by one-third by 2050.
The term “nuclear winter,” popularized in the 1980s, alluded to the catastrophic environmental impact of a nuclear war. The long-term consequences of demographic winter could be equally devastating.
Question: What is replacement fertility, and why is the number 2.1 so important?
Answer:
Replacement fertility is the point of equilibrium at which a country’s population is neither growing nor declining. In order to maintain current population, the average woman must have 2.1 children during her lifetime. Essentially, she needs to replace herself and a man. Because some children will die before reaching maturity, slightly more than two children are needed. Hence, 2.1.
A birthrate of more than 2.1 equals population growth. A birthrate of less than 2.1 long-term means population decline.
Question: If birthrates are declining, why does the world’s population continue to grow?
Answer:
If it’s already in motion, a car in neutral will continue moving for a while, especially if it’s going downhill, even if gas isn’t being injected into the engine.
Today’s population growth is due to two factors: 1. higher fertility rates in the 1950s and 60s, and 2. people living longer than ever before.
The thing to remember is this: Declining birthrates will equal a declining population worldwide at some point in the next few decades. In the West (especially in Europe) population decline will become a reality much sooner. In some countries, such as Russia, it’s already happening.
A nation’s demographic future can be seen in its current birthrate. In Europe, the number of children under 5 has declined by 36% since 1960. Worldwide, there are 6 million fewer children, 6 and under, today, than there were in 1990. If present trends continue, the United Nations estimates that by 2050 there will be 248 million fewer children in the world then there are now.
Question: Where are birthrates lowest?
Answer:
Of the 10 countries with the lowest birthrates, 9 are in Europe. Overall, the European fertility rate is 1.3, well below replacement level (2.1). No European nation has a replacement-level birthrate.
Italy’s fertility rate is 1.2. Spain’s is 1.1. That means in the not-too-distant future, absent massive immigration, these countries will lose half of their people in every generation.
Russia’s birthrate fell from 2.4 in 1990 to 1.17 today – a decline of more than 50% in less than 20 years. Each year, there are more abortions than live births in the Russian Federation.
While birthrates are also plummeting in developing nations, most still have above-replacement fertility – for the time being.
The U.S. fertility rate is around 2.1, just about replacement level, and continues to hover around that rate, due in part to higher immigrant birthrates. How long this will continue is anyone’s guess.
Question: What are the consequences of demographic decline?
Answer:
Economist Robert J. Samuelson wrote in a June 15, 2005 column in The Washington Post: “It’s hard to be a great power if your population is shriveling.” Samuelson warned: “Europe as we know it is going out of business…. Western Europe’s population grows dramatically grayer, projects the U.S. Census Bureau. Now about one-sixth of the population is 65 and older. By 2030, that could be one-fourth and by 2050, almost one-third.”
By the mid-point of this century, 16% of the world’s population will be over 65. By 2040, there will be 400 million elderly Chinese.
If present low birthrates persist, the European Union estimates there will be a continent-wide shortfall of 20 million workers by 2030.
Who will operate the factories and farms in the Europe of the future? Who will develop the natural resources? Where will Russia find the soldiers to guard the frontiers of the largest nation on Earth?
Who will care for a graying population? A burgeoning elderly population combined with a shrinking work force will lead to a train-wreck for state pension systems.
This only skims the surface of the way demographic decline will change the face of civilization. Even the environment will be adversely impacted. With severely strained public budgets, developed nations will no longer be willing to shoulder the costs of industrial clean-up or a reduction of CO2 emissions.
Question: What factors contribute to demographic decline?
Answer:
A number of social trends of the post-war era have converged to create a perfect storm for Demographic Winter.
Men and women are delaying marriage, making it less likely they’ll have more than one or two children. Today in the West, almost one in two marriages ends in divorce. The children of divorce are less likely to marry and form families themselves.
More married women are putting off having children for careers. After 35, it becomes progressively harder for women to conceive.
The news and entertainment media tell young adults that satisfaction comes from careers, romance, travel and “personal growth” – not from having children. It’s rare that Hollywood even portrays large families (today, more than 2 children). The culture’s message is live-for-moment and live primarily for yourself, with no sense of obligation to generations past or concern for posterity.
The growth of cohabitation also has an impact. (In Scandinavia, almost as many couples are living together as married.) Cohabitation is not conducive to childbearing or childrearing.
For the past 20 to 30 years, children have been taught that over-population (the so-called population bomb) will wreak havoc on the environment and economic development. Not surprisingly, children thus indoctrinated frequently choose to have fewer children when they reach maturity.
Religious observance has been shown to correlate with higher birthrates. The increasing secularization of Western societies has been accompanied by lower birthrates.
Thus, every aspect of modernity works against family life and in favor of singleness and small families or voluntary childlessness.
Question: Can’t the problem be fixed by increased immigration?
Answer:
In a demographic sense, this is robbing Peter to pay Paul.
The host country gains people, but the home country loses. The developing world, which has seen its own birthrate cut in half since 1970 (from almost 6 to barely 4), can ill afford to lose large numbers through emigration. The loss of labor from these countries adversely impacts their own economy and since the majority of those who leave are the men, many children are now growing up without a father, creating other social problems for these countries. The developing world is paying a high price to bail out the developed world’s lack of labor due to low fertility rates.
Mass immigration changes the national character of the host country. Immigrants tend to have a lower education level than natives. Many never learn the language of their new home or identify with its history and heritage.This changes the social and political makeup of the host countries, in some cases so dramatically that it is causing social and political unrest.
Question: Can’t demographic winter be countered by governments encouraging people to have more children?
Answer:
This is being tried in Western Europe and Russia. The Russian Federation pays families a bonus of 250,000 rubles (the equivalent of $9,200) for every child after the first – in a nation where the average monthly wage is only $330. It’s not working.
Couples decide to have children for all kinds of reasons – religious, emotional, cultural, etc. Money doesn’t seem to be one of them, although money concerns are sometimes cited as a reason for having fewer children.
Children are a life-long commitment. While governments should make childrearing easier, by lowering the tax-burden on families (out of self-interest if not fairness), cash incentives so far haven’t worked.
Question: If the United States has near-replacement fertility, why should we care?
Answer:
All of the factors that are leading Europe into the depths of Demographic Winter are present in the United States as well, including high divorce rates, the rise of cohabitation, families putting off procreation to pursue careers, an anti-family culture and voluntary childlessness.
We may be a few decades behind Europe, but we’re heading in the same direction.
National economies are interconnected to such an extent that the impact of economic collapse in one country or region can be felt around the world.
The social, political and economic decline of previously stable nations can destabilize entire regions and create perils for neighbors and far-away allies. The United States is connected to Europe economically and through multiple security treaties.
Question: What Is “Demographic Winter: Decline of the Human Family”
Answer:
“Demographic Winter: Decline of the Human Family,” is the first of two documentary films. Together they explore every aspect of demographic decline based on interviews with scholars, researchers, economists, demographers, government representatives, civil and religious leaders from 33 countries.
Produced by Barry McLerran and directed by Rick Stout, with executive director Steven Smoot, “Demographic Winter” brings together a number of disciplines to examine and analyze what could be the greatest threat confronting humanity in the 21st century.

The thing to remember is this: Declining birthrates will equal a declining population worldwide at some point in the next few decades. In the West (especially in Europe) population decline will become a reality much sooner. In some countries, such as Russia, it’s already happening.
A nation’s demographic future can be seen in its current birthrate. In Europe, the number of children under 5 has declined by 36% since 1960. Worldwide, there are 6 million fewer children, 6 and under, today, than there were in 1990. If present trends continue, the United Nations estimates that by 2050 there will be 248 million fewer children in the world then there are now.
Question: Where are birthrates lowest?
Answer:
Of the 10 countries with the lowest birthrates, 9 are in Europe. Overall, the European fertility rate is 1.3, well below replacement level (2.1). No European nation has a replacement-level birthrate.
Italy’s fertility rate is 1.2. Spain’s is 1.1. That means in the not-too-distant future, absent massive immigration, these countries will lose half of their people in every generation.
Russia’s birthrate fell from 2.4 in 1990 to 1.17 today – a decline of more than 50% in less than 20 years. Each year, there are more abortions than live births in the Russian Federation.
While birthrates are also plummeting in developing nations, most still have above-replacement fertility – for the time being.
The U.S. fertility rate is around 2.1, just about replacement level, and continues to hover around that rate, due in part to higher immigrant birthrates. How long this will continue is anyone’s guess.
Question: What are the consequences of demographic decline?
Answer:
Economist Robert J. Samuelson wrote in a June 15, 2005 column in The Washington Post: “It’s hard to be a great power if your population is shriveling.” Samuelson warned: “Europe as we know it is going out of business…. Western Europe’s population grows dramatically grayer, projects the U.S. Census Bureau. Now about one-sixth of the population is 65 and older. By 2030, that could be one-fourth and by 2050, almost one-third.”
By the mid-point of this century, 16% of the world’s population will be over 65. By 2040, there will be 400 million elderly Chinese.
If present low birthrates persist, the European Union estimates there will be a continent-wide shortfall of 20 million workers by 2030.
Who will operate the factories and farms in the Europe of the future? Who will develop the natural resources? Where will Russia find the soldiers to guard the frontiers of the largest nation on Earth?
Who will care for a graying population? A burgeoning elderly population combined with a shrinking work force will lead to a train-wreck for state pension systems.
This only skims the surface of the way demographic decline will change the face of civilization. Even the environment will be adversely impacted. With severely strained public budgets, developed nations will no longer be willing to shoulder the costs of industrial clean-up or a reduction of CO2 emissions.
Question: What factors contribute to demographic decline?
Answer:
A number of social trends of the post-war era have converged to create a perfect storm for Demographic Winter.
Men and women are delaying marriage, making it less likely they’ll have more than one or two children. Today in the West, almost one in two marriages ends in divorce. The children of divorce are less likely to marry and form families themselves.
More married women are putting off having children for careers. After 35, it becomes progressively harder for women to conceive.
The news and entertainment media tell young adults that satisfaction comes from careers, romance, travel and “personal growth” – not from having children. It’s rare that Hollywood even portrays large families (today, more than 2 children). The culture’s message is live-for-moment and live primarily for yourself, with no sense of obligation to generations past or concern for posterity.
The growth of cohabitation also has an impact. (In Scandinavia, almost as many couples are living together as married.) Cohabitation is not conducive to childbearing or childrearing.
For the past 20 to 30 years, children have been taught that over-population (the so-called population bomb) will wreak havoc on the environment and economic development. Not surprisingly, children thus indoctrinated frequently choose to have fewer children when they reach maturity.
Religious observance has been shown to correlate with higher birthrates. The increasing secularization of Western societies has been accompanied by lower birthrates.
Thus, every aspect of modernity works against family life and in favor of singleness and small families or voluntary childlessness.
Question: Can’t the problem be fixed by increased immigration?
Answer:
In a demographic sense, this is robbing Peter to pay Paul.
The host country gains people, but the home country loses. The developing world, which has seen its own birthrate cut in half since 1970 (from almost 6 to barely 4), can ill afford to lose large numbers through emigration. The loss of labor from these countries adversely impacts their own economy and since the majority of those who leave are the men, many children are now growing up without a father, creating other social problems for these countries. The developing world is paying a high price to bail out the developed world’s lack of labor due to low fertility rates.
Mass immigration changes the national character of the host country. Immigrants tend to have a lower education level than natives. Many never learn the language of their new home or identify with its history and heritage.This changes the social and political makeup of the host countries, in some cases so dramatically that it is causing social and political unrest.
Question: Can’t demographic winter be countered by governments encouraging people to have more children?
Answer:
This is being tried in Western Europe and Russia. The Russian Federation pays families a bonus of 250,000 rubles (the equivalent of $9,200) for every child after the first – in a nation where the average monthly wage is only $330. It’s not working.
Couples decide to have children for all kinds of reasons – religious, emotional, cultural, etc. Money doesn’t seem to be one of them, although money concerns are sometimes cited as a reason for having fewer children.
Children are a life-long commitment. While governments should make childrearing easier, by lowering the tax-burden on families (out of self-interest if not fairness), cash incentives so far haven’t worked.
Question: If the United States has near-replacement fertility, why should we care?
Answer:
All of the factors that are leading Europe into the depths of Demographic Winter are present in the United States as well, including high divorce rates, the rise of cohabitation, families putting off procreation to pursue careers, an anti-family culture and voluntary childlessness.
We may be a few decades behind Europe, but we’re heading in the same direction.
National economies are interconnected to such an extent that the impact of economic collapse in one country or region can be felt around the world.
The social, political and economic decline of previously stable nations can destabilize entire regions and create perils for neighbors and far-away allies. The United States is connected to Europe economically and through multiple security treaties.
Question: What Is “Demographic Winter: Decline of the Human Family”
Answer:
“Demographic Winter: Decline of the Human Family,” is the first of two documentary films. Together they explore every aspect of demographic decline based on interviews with scholars, researchers, economists, demographers, government representatives, civil and religious leaders from 33 countries.
Produced by Barry McLerran and directed by Rick Stout, with executive director Steven Smoot, “Demographic Winter” brings together a number of disciplines to examine and analyze what could be the greatest threat confronting humanity in the 21st century.
Demographic Winter: Decline of the Human Family
One of the most ominous events of modern history is quietly unfolding. Social scientists and economists agree - we are headed toward a demographic winter which threatens to have catastrophic social and economic consequences. The effects will be severe and long lasting and are already becoming manifest in much of Europe.
A groundbreaking film, Demographic Winter: Decline of the Human Family, reveals in chilling soberness how societies with diminished family influence are now grimly seen as being in social and economic jeopardy.
Demographic Winter draws upon experts from all around the world - demographers, economists, sociologists, psychologists, civic and religious leaders, parliamentarians and diplomats. Together, they reveal the dangers facing society and the world’s economies, dangers far more imminent than global warming and at least as severe. These experts will discuss how:
The “population bomb” not only did not have the predicted consequences, but almost all of the developed countries of the world are now experiencing fertility rates far below replacement levels. Birthrates have fallen so low that even immigration cannot replace declining populations, and this migration is sapping strength from developing countries, the fertility rates for many of which are now falling at a faster pace than did those of the developed countries.
The economies of the world will continue to contract as the “human capital” spoken of by Nobel Prize winning economist Gary Becker, diminishes. The engines of commerce will be strained as the workers of today fail to replace themselves and are burdened by the responsibility to support an aging population.
Government programs will slow-bleed by the decrease in tax dollars received from an ever shrinking work force. The skyrocketing ratio of the old retirees to the young workers will render current-day social security systems completely unable to support the aging population.
Our attempts to modernize through social engineering policies and programs have left children growing up in broken homes, with absentee parents and little exposure to extended family, disconnected from the generations, and these children are experiencing severe psychological, sociological and economic consequences. The intact family’s immeasurable role in the development and prosperity of human societies is crumbling.
The influence of social and economic problems on ever shrinking, increasingly disconnected generations will compound and accelerate the deterioration. Our children and our children’s children will bear the economic and social burden of regenerating the “human capital” that accounts for 80% of wealth in the economy, and they will be ill-equipped to do so.
Is there a “tipping point”, after which the accelerating consequences will make recovery impossible without complete social and economic collapse? Even the experts can’t tell us how far we can go down this road, oblivious to the outcomes, until we reach a point where sliding into the void becomes unpreventable.
Only if the political incorrectness of talking about the natural family within policy circles is overcome will solutions begin to be found. These solutions will necessarily result in policy changes, changes that will support and promote the natural, intact family.
Just as it took the cumulative involvement of activist organizations, policy makers, the business world and the media to create the unintended consequences we are beginning to experience, so it will take the holistic contribution of all of these entities, together with civic and religious organizations, to change the hearts and minds of all of society to bring about a reversal.
It may be too late to avoid some very severe consequences, but with effort we may be able to preclude calamity. Demographic Winter lays out a forthright province of discussion. The warning voices in this film need to be heard before a silent, portentous fall turns into a long, hard winter.

Monsanto Contaminates Romania with Genetic Engineering
Recent Greenpeace research in Romania has exposed the fact that Monsanto's introduction of genetically engineered soybeans has virtually destroyed both conventional and organic farming in many regions. Neither the Romanian government nor Monsanto applied the precautionary principle in assessing the impact of these crops in agriculture.Berlin, Germany, 11 January 2006 Greenpeace today, joined by a former manager of Monsanto and Limagrain in Romania, Mr Dragos Dima, at a press conference at the International Green Week in Berlin exposed how Monsanto will contaminate EU agriculture with genetically engineered (GE) Soya. U.S. biotech giant made an application in December 2005 to the European Union to grow its genetically engineered (GE) 'Roundup Ready' soybeans across the whole of Europe once its current licence - permitting the beans' import but not cultivation - expires in 2006 (1).more |

Some things we can do...
Consumption
- Avoid buying newly manufactured things, instead buy second hand or make our own.
- Avoid large chain stores and supermarkets.
- Buy things from small and local businesses.
- Favor worker cooperatives over corporations.
- Wherever possible buy direct from producers.
- Support local currencies.
- Trade or give gifts in preference to using money.
Communities
- Smile at people and meet their eyes.
- Give open-minded/hearted time to those people around us.
- Organise parties and celebrations (eg. a dinner party where everyone brings a homemade dish or a childrens party where each parent organises a game)
- Organise rotating work parties and skill-sharing events.
- Vision together the future of our communities and make it happen by a combination of negotiations with local councils and direct action. (If you think that unused roadside could make a good veg garden then get some friends together and just go ahead and do it)
Food And Land
- Propagate and plant edible perennial plants wherever possible on any available land.
- Learn how to grow food and save seeds.
- Set up personal and community food growing.
- Stick to seasonal, local and organic foods.
- Eat meat in moderation.
- Have a go at making bread, preserving food, making cheese, brewing etc..
- Enjoy cooking and eating good food. Treat our food with reverence.
- Learn what wild plants grow in our areas and learn how to use them for food and medicine.
- Protect and encourage biodiversity and wild areas (eg. a small wild patch at the bottom of your garden could be a haven for birds and small animals).
- Make a pond.
Energy
- Use wood (biomass) for heating. Install wood burners. Take firewood from the waste stream and plant local or personal firewood supplies. In a climate like Britain's, short rotation coppice crops such as willow can be fully productive in 3 years and a 30 x 50m area can heat an efficient family house.
- Heat water with wood and solar energy. (A solar water heater can easily be made from scrap materials in a day or two.)
- Use renewable electricity. Switch mains connections to suppliers who only deal in renewable energy.
- Set up and use local or personal energy production systems. Small scale hydroelectric systems in particular offer simply maintained systems with high and reliable returns for the amount of invested energy.
- Practice basic woodwork, metalwork etc to make and repair basic items and tools.
- Compost food and human waste to build soil fertility and reduce energy demands of waste disposal.
Lifestyle
- Withdraw investment from houses. Move to a cheaper home or make our own (most cheaply done without permission).
- Work less.
- This will free up time and energy to develop sustainable ways of living as well as removing support from destructive systems.
- Do not take employment from organizations which are unsustainable or who's actions are not benefiting the world.
- Maximize our autonomy from state and corporate control structures.
- Move from urban to rural areas and start working some land.
Consideration
- Consider what elements of our world and society are of greatest value to us (air, water, food supplies, medicines...?)
- Consider what elements /service / products we could happily do without (war, this year's fashion, more DVDs, a bigger car...?)
- Be aware that the more we have of the latter, the more we threaten the former.
- Whenever we spend money or play an active role in society, take time to consider the consequences of our actions. (Buying a tank of fuel supports the violent occupation of the middle east, buying cheap clothes supports sweatshops and child labour, buying from transnational corporations funds the extraction of capital from poorer countries and the erosion of human rights)
- Consider our modern world from the point of view of our ancestors.
- Count our blessings.
- Appreciate the beauty and fragility of life, human and otherwise.
- Make time to appreciate and congratulate ourselves - we are all amazing and powerful beings.
- Smile, laugh, love and dream. Be present and don't worry.

Glitch shuts "Big Bang" collider for two months
GENEVA (Reuters) - A technical glitch has forced scientists to shut down the huge particle-smashing machine built to simulate the conditions of the "Big Bang" for at least two months, they said on Saturday.
The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) said there had been a major helium leak on Friday into the tunnel housing the biggest and most complex machine ever made.
Just 10 days ago, scientists had celebrated the successful start of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) under the Swiss-French border, hoping it would revamp modern physics and unlock secrets about the universe and its origins.
In order to fix the problem, the machine will have to be warmed up from its operating temperature of minus 271.3 degrees Celsius (minus 456.3 degrees Fahrenheit), spokesman James Gillies said.
"Because the LHC is a superconducting machine that works at very low temperatures, in order to get in and fix it we've got to warm it up, then we go and fix it, and then we cool it down again, and that's a process that's likely to take two months," he said.
The organization said strict safety regulations had ensured there was no risk to people from the malfunction.
The project has had to work hard to dismiss suggestions by some critics that the experiment could create tiny black holes of intense gravity that could suck in the whole planet.
Since the machine started up earlier this month, scientists have successfully sent particle beams around the accelerator.
The next step will be to smash the beams into each other to trigger tiny collisions at nearly the speed of light.

POLICY STATEMENT:
The Huron-Perth Catholic District School Board is committed to maintaining safe and orderly
Christ-centered learning environments. This is accomplished primarily through teaching,
modeling, and encouraging mutually-respectful relationships. Video surveillance systems are an
additional resource used at schools within the board’s jurisdiction to further promote the safety of
students, staff and community members.
Video surveillance involves the collection, retention, use and disclosure of personal information.
Under the authority of the Director of Education, the principal or designated vice-principal will
maintain control of and responsibility for the video surveillance system at all times.
PROCEDURE:
1. Notification of the Installation of Video Surveillance Equipment
1.1 Approval for video surveillance shall be granted by the Superintendent responsible for
Secondary Schools.
1.2 Before video surveillance takes effect in any location under the board’s jurisdiction, the
following communication procedures will be carried out:
1.2.1 Consultation with School Council will occur.
1.2.2 The principal will issue an explanatory newsletter to parents and guardians.
1.2.3 The principal or vice principal will explain their use to all staff members and to
students in class or grade-level meetings.
1.2.4 Explanatory notification will be included annually in the student handbook.
1.2.5 Signs will be prominently displayed at all entrances of buildings having video
security surveillance systems. This signage will inform individuals of the legal
authority for the collection of personal information; the principle purposes(s) for

continued
THE USE OF VIDEO SURVEILLANCE IS IN EFFECT
Under the authority of the Education Act, video surveillance will be used to
reduce/prevent property vandalism, theft and violence and to ensure the safety
of students. Questions about this collection of information should be directed
to the principal of the school.
Page 2 - Video Surveillance Systems 3D:15
2. Design, Installation and Operation of Video Surveillance Equipment
In designing, installing and operating a video security surveillance system, consideration shall
be given to the following:
2.1 Reception equipment will only be installed in and monitor specified public areas,
approved by the Superintendent responsible for Secondary Schools, where video
surveillance is necessary to increase the safety of staff, students and school property.
The equipment will operate up to 24 hours/seven days a week, within the limitations of
system capabilities, power disruptions and serviceability/maintenance.
2.2 Equipment will not be installed in areas where the students, staff and the public have a
higher expectation of privacy (e.g. change rooms and washrooms).
2.3 Reception equipment will be accessible only by authorized personnel (the principal or
designate).
3. Disclosure, Retention, Security and Disposal of Video Surveillance Records
3.1 Any information obtained by way of video surveillance systems may only be viewed
and subsequently used for the purpose of ensuring the on-going safety of students,
promoting a safe environment, controlling vandalism and theft of school property.
3.2 Video security surveillance systems create a record by recording personal information.
To ensure proper security for this information the following processes will be followed:
3.2.1 All video files or other storage devices that are not in use will be stored in a
locked and secure location.
3.2.2 The use of any video file or storage device by authorized school personnel will
be recorded. The Use of Video Files Log (Appendix A) will be used to record all
instances of access to, and use of, recorded material. Only the principal and a
delegated alternate (designated by name and position e.g. vice-principal or
another principal) may review the information. Circumstances, which would
warrant review, will be limited to an incident that has been reported or observed.
The principal shall delegate “real time” viewing of monitors to a very limited
number of individuals.
3.2.3 The retention period for information that has not been viewed for law
enforcement, school or public safety purposes shall be fourteen calendar days.
Recorded information that has not been used in this fashion is to be routinely
erased every fourteen days in a manner in which it cannot be reconstructed or
retrieved.
3.2.4 The retention period for information that has been viewed for law enforcement
or student safety purposes will be 1 year from the date of viewing or one year
from the date of resolution of the incident. If personal information is used for
this purpose, section 5(1) of Ontario Regulation 460 under the Municipal
Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act requires the recorded
information to be retained for one year. Video files that have been viewed will
be transferred to CD, appropriately labeled and stored in a secure location.
continued
Page 3 - Video Surveillance Systems 3D:15
3.2.5 The school will store and retain video files required for evidentiary purposes
until the law enforcement authorities request them. The Storage Device Release
Log (Appendix B) will be completed before any storage device is disclosed to
appropriate authorities. This form will indicate who took the device, under what
authority, when this occurred, and if it will be returned or destroyed after use.
3.2.6 Once the one-year retention of previously viewed media files has ended, those
media files must be securely disposed of in such a way that the personal
information cannot be reconstructed or retrieved. Disposal methods could
include shredding, burning or magnetically erasing the personal information.
3.2.7 Vendors and/or service providers of HPCDBS’s video surveillance equipment
shall not have access to recorded information without special permission. Any
agreements between the board and service providers shall state that the records
dealt with or created while delivering a video surveillance program are under the
board’s control.
3.2.8 An individual whose personal information has been collected by a video
surveillance system has the right of access to his or her personal information
under section 36 of the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of
Privacy Act, unless an exemption applies under Section 38 of said Act. Access
to an individual's own personal information in these circumstances may depend
upon whether any exempt information can be reasonably severed from the
record. (i.e. other individuals in the video would have to be severed from the
record).
3.2.9 Any inadvertent disclosures of personal information shall be reported
immediately to the Superintendent Responsible for Secondary Schools.
4. Training
4.1 The Superintendent responsible for Secondary Schools will ensure that the procedures
of this policy will be addressed through a training session to principals whose schools
will implement video surveillance systems. Principals will ensure that training which
addresses staff obligations shall be conducted as necessary.
5. Evaluating the Use of a Video Surveillance System
5.1 The Superintendent responsible for Secondary Schools will regularly review and
evaluate the video surveillance procedure to ascertain whether it is still justified.

enforcement, school or public safety purposes shall be fourteen calendar days.
Recorded information that has not been used in this fashion is to be routinely
erased every fourteen days in a manner in which it cannot be reconstructed or
retrieved.
3.2.4 The retention period for information that has been viewed for law enforcement

3.2.5 The school will store and retain video files required for evidentiary purposes
until the law enforcement authorities request them. The Storage Device Release
Log (Appendix B) will be completed before any storage device is disclosed to
appropriate authorities. This form will indicate who took the device, under what
authority, when this occurred, and if it will be returned or destroyed after use.
3.2.6 Once the one-year retention of previously viewed media files has ended, those

surveillance system has the right of access to his or her personal information
under section 36 of the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of
Privacy Act, unless an exemption applies under Section 38 of said Act. Access
to an individual's own personal information in these circumstances may depend
upon whether any exempt information can be reasonably severed from the

You need approval ...
Da corect, mai adaug si eu, trebuie sa se incadreze cu placarde in anumite standarde, dimensiune, culoare, safety, sa aiba un scop bine definit, numarul si numele adresele participantilor, WC mobile, echipa de curatenie dupa mitting, prim ajutor si altele. Nu rideti, contribuabilul nu trebuie sa plateasca din buzunarul lui aceste manisfestatii ale hooliganilor. Daca ei sint bine organizati si respecta "legea" nu au decit sa protesteze cit vor. Mai e un aspect care inca voi in Romania nu l-ati intilnit: nu blocati strazile, nici sa nu va treca prin cap sa credeti ca veti putea sa deranjati ochii cetatenilor de bine care nu vor sa stie de existenta altor "categorii" sociale si vor sa isi desfasoare rutina seculara nestingheriti. Pentru ei exista alegeri "democratice" (inca cheltuieli inutile dar vom trece si peste faza asat rudimentara a democratiei noastre) unde voi cei napastuiti, neadaptati sau pur si simplu nemultumiti a puteti exprima "liber" optiunile politice. Eu nu stiu ce a mai spus tovarasul Soviani, stapinul televiziunii.
Gheorghe Zamfir, acuzat de antisemitism
Celebrul naist roman, Gheorghe Zamfir, care avea programat, marti 17 iunie,
un concert la Tel Aviv, este acuzat de antisemitism de catre presedintele
comunitatii israelienilor de origine romana, Ze'ev Schwartz.
Acest om, care este membru al unui partid de extrema dreapta din Romania si
care are o adevarata teorie ce contesta existenta Holocaustului, nu ar
trebui sa intre in Israel si cu siguranta nu ar trebui sa sustina un concert
in fata evreilor. Este un antisemit dintre cei mai rai. In urma cu doi ani
atunci cind a incercat sa intre in Israel nu i s-a permis si a fost trimis
inapoi in Romania. Nu inteleg cum a reusit sa intre in tara de aceasta data"
, a declarat Ze'ev Schwartz, citat de Jerusalem Post.
„Intrucit abia am aflat de concertul programat astazi, vom analiza daca
exista posibilitatea legala de a protesta impotriva spectacolului lui Zamfir
din aceasta seara. In orice caz, solicitam managerilor de sali sa anuleze
concertele acestui antisemit. Fanii concertelor de nai ar face mai bine sa
caute alti artisti si, din fericire, exista muzicieni mai buni decit el in
lume", a adaugat liderul comunitatii israelienilor de origine romana, care
este si presedinte al comitetului de relatii externe si de comunicare in
cadrul organismului format din organizatiile supravietuitorilor
Holocaustului.
Dupa concertul din Tel Aviv de marti seara, Gheorghe Zamfir, care a primit
120 de discuri de aur si de platina si a vindut peste 40 de milioane de
albume, mai avea organizat un concert la Ashkelon, miercuri, 18 iunie si la
Herzliya, joi, 19 iunie noteaza Jerusalem Post.
Ziarul israelian mai scrie ca inainte de alegerile din Romania din 2001,
Gheorghe Zamfir s-a alaturat Partidului Romania Mare si a publicat articole
in revista formatiunii, sustinind ca Holocaustul nu a avut loc si ca daca in
Romania au fost ucisi evrei acest lucru s-a petrecut in urma unor provocari
din partea lor. (DIVERS – www.divers.ro)

Controlul Speciei
\Nu vor ajunge la extinctia speciei ci numai la controlul speciei. Extinctia insemna disparitia, ori ei vor numai sa reduca populatia la 500,000-1,000,000, un echilibru "sanatos" pentru o planeta "epuizata". Noi ceilalti care nu vom fi imbarcati pe arca lui Noe, pentru ca nu aderam la ideologia lor fie din incapatinare fie din nestiinta vom ramine "liberi" in afara citadelelor. Asa cum am dorit. Este optiunea noastra si va fi o piatra de incercare daca vom reusi sa supravietuim. Dupa ce i-am alimentat si au facut cercetari, au (cum cred ei) raspunsuri la mare parte din problemele actuale, ne lasa pe dinafara, disponibilizati din "civilitate". Este un proces foarte natural de regenerare, de reciclare. Atita timp cit nu exista alta optiune, atita timp cit ei sint singurul (cunoscut) model de urmat e putin probabil ca populatia sa dea dovada de ingenuitate si sa fac trecerea, sa reuseasca sa mentina vechea ordine. Gandeste-te doar ca peste citva ani noilor generatii li se va lua derptul de a citi si informa liber iar comentarii ca ale tale si altora nu vor mai fi accesibile. Ei, "educatii" lumii noi nu vor mai sti decit de indoctrinarea care li se face la scoala. Nimic altceva. Parintii vor "binele" copiilor lor si nu vor mai transmite pentru a-i proteja. Vor mai exista doar inadaptati in centrele de recuperare care incet-incet se vor stinge in anonimat. Si cu toate astea lumea noua, in interiorul citadelelor sub protectia mercenarilor de la Blackwater, isi va vedea de drumul ei indiferent ca sint same-sex sau same-specie. Atata timp cit este LOVE si destrabalare la maxim, LIBERTATE si democratie totul va merge inainte.
Newcolonialism
Romania moderna intodeuna a cautat - cu mici exceptii cind a fost condusa de romani - sa fie in umbra marilor puteri. Dupa trambitata (de occidentalitate) cadere a comunismului in partea de est a Europei, a fost deschisa macelaria imperialistilor si a inceput colonizarea moderna a restului "liber" de capitalism al lumii. Stim amindoi cine manipuleaza acesta masinarie si ce scopuri are. Este un proces in curse de desfasurare care are fiecare etapa stabilita cu mare precizie in timp si spatiu. Din pacate noi nu am fost asa de fancy sa ne incadram in Chicaco School a lui Friedman, noi sintem doar modele lasate la coada istoriei si se va vedea ce va iesi din "originaliatatea "romaneasca. Asa cred ei.

Video of Clashes Between St. Paul Police and RNC Protestors Bubble Up Online
As most of the on-air cable television personalities focus on the national politics of the Republicans' nomination of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin for vice president, stories and footage of clashes between the St. Paul police and protesters at the Republican National Convention are turning up on the internet.
The Uptake, an online citizen-journalism training outfit in Minneapolis, has been at the forefront of documenting much of the unfriendly interaction between the police and the protesters.
