Vietnamese propaganda officials have admitted deploying people to engage in online discussions and post comments supporting the Communist Party's policies. The party has also confirmed that it operates a network of nearly 1,000 "public opinion shapers". They are assigned with the task of spreading the party line. The tactic is similar to China's model of internet moderators who aim to control news and manipulate opinion. 'Political opportunists' Hanoi Propaganda and Education Department head Ho Quang Loi said that the authorities had hired hundreds of so-called "internet polemists" in the fight against "online hostile forces". While the exact number of these activists is unknown, Mr. Loi revealed that his organisation is running at least 400 online accounts and 20 microblogs. Regular visitors on popular social media networks in Vietnam such as Facebook have long noticed the existence of a number of pro-regime bloggers, who frequently post comments and articles supportive of the Communist Party. The bloggers also take part in online discussions, where they fiercely attack anybody who they see as critical of the regime.

The world's climate could be hijacked by a rogue country or wealthy individual firing small particles into the stratosphere, claims a warning that comes not from a new Hollywood movie trailer but a sober report from the World Economic Forum (WEF). The deployment of independent, large-scale "geoengineering" techniques aimed at averting dangerous warming warrants more research because it could lead to an international crisis with unpredictable costs to agriculture, infrastructure and global stability, said the Geneva-based WEF in its annual Global Risks report before the Davos economic summit later this month. It also warned that ongoing economic weakness is sapping the ability of governments to tackle the growing threat of climate change.

”Some of you have argued that we are singling out Rabbi Zakheim because he is Jewish, implying that we are pushing some sort of twisted anti-Semitic agenda while noting that he is not the only one who signed the PNAC document and therefore wondering why our article is about him and not the others. We do not mean to imply that the Rabbi acted alone, our article simply points out that Rabbi Zakheim had access to things like structural integrity, blueprints and any number of important facets of information about the WTC through his work with TRIDATA CORPORATION in the investigation of the bombing of the WTC in 1993. “That he had access to REMOTE CONTROL Technology through his work at System Planning Corporation (SPC). That he had access to BOEING AIRCRAFT through a lease deal HE BROKERED while working at the Pentagon. . . Finally that he was part of a group of politically radical Straussian Neo-Conservatives, who, through their association with PNAC, called for restructuring of the Middle East, noting that a Pearl Harbor type of event MAY BE NEEDED to foster the frame of mind required for the American public to accept such a radical...

France's energy and environment minister mandates lights off between 1AM and 7AM everyday by summer 2013. The plan is to improve energy efficiency by 20 percent by 2020.

Every day one hundred million people take psychiatric drugs. It is estimated that deaths linked to psychiatric drugs total more than a 9/11 disaster every month. "Did you see these kinds of incidents in the 1960s or pre-1960? Was anybody shooting up their classrooms? There were guns... we didn't have as many gun control laws then as we do now-- no, we didn't-- so, what's different? The psychotropic drugs, that's what's different." -- Beverly Eakman, Ph.D., Executive Director, National Education Consortium "They induce violence, they induce self-violence, they induce distortions of reality leading to hallucinations; they induce a whole variety of psychiatric problems, which are then typically treated with more psychiatric drugs... the drugs that are used are known, world-wide, to increase suicidality and increase homicidal violence." --Rima Laibow, M.D. "They're not helping people with drugs and they're not looking out for harming people. They're ignoring the harm that's coming from all of these drugs." --Norman Shealy, M.D., Ph.D, Neurosurgeon "We're not talking about a rash, we're not talking about dry mouth, we're not talkin' about nausea. We're talking about sudden compulsive, overwhelming suicidal or homicidal urges. ...

While we know the trauma of war and seeing the carnage first hand is horrific, on top of that many of these people see the unprovoked operations on innocent civilians and are forced to participate. That and witnessing the drug running operation, collusion with private contractor killers who are immune to military law, and staged terrorist operations in public places that are blamed on insurgents when it’s of our own doing. You find that out and it will show on your face if you have a conscience. You then become a potential enemy of the operation and target for “friendly fire” like Pat Tillman was. Or, if need be, a convenient “suicide”.
