Solving the Mona Lisa Mysteries
What if I told you the Mona Lisa is an optical illusion
– one painting hidden within another? Well it’s true. And that’s what
my first post on this blog is about – and it’s not about the Da Vinci
code or theory based on the numbers hidden in her eyes. Since making
this discovery months ago, I have been waiting to let the world know of
my findings – a secret that has been hiding for five hundred years.

The National Defense Authorization Act Opens the Door to a Police State
The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) was recently approved by
an overwhelming majority of the Senate. It will place domestic terror
investigations and interrogations into the hands of the military and
which would open the door for trial-free, indefinite detention of
anyone, including American citizens, so long as the government calls
them terrorists. This law is diametrically opposed to the rights
provided by the Constitution and opens the door to an effective police
state. Forbes (of all magazines) describes it as the “greatest threat to liberties Americans face”. Here’s an article from The New American describing the law. link

Weeding out corporate psychopaths
Given the state of the global economy, it might not surprise you to
learn that psychopaths may be controlling the world. Not violent
criminals, but corporate psychopaths who nonetheless have a genetically
inherited biochemical condition that prevents them from feeling normal
human empathy.
Scientific research is revealing that 21st century financial institutions with a high rate of turnover and expanding global power have become highly attractive to psychopathic individuals to enrich themselves at the expense of others, and the companies they work for.
A peer-reviewed theoretical paper titled “The Corporate Psychopaths Theory of the Global Financial Crisis” details how highly placed psychopaths in the banking sector may have nearly brought down the world economy through their own inherent inability to care about the consequences of their actions. link

The Discovery of Dolphin Language
Researchers in the United States and
Great Britain have made a significant breakthrough in deciphering
dolphin language in which a series of eight objects have been sonically
identified by dolphins. Team leader, Jack Kassewitz of SpeakDolphin.com,
‘spoke’ to dolphins with the dolphin’s own sound picture words.
Dolphins in two separate research centers understood the words,
presenting convincing evidence that dolphins employ a universal
“sono-pictorial” language of communication.
The
team was able to teach the dolphins simple and complex sentences
involving nouns and verbs, revealing that dolphins comprehend elements
of human language, as well as having a complex visual language of their
own. link

Sea salt and baking soda, best all natural remedy for curing radiation exposure and cancer.
--- According to Michio and Aveline Kushi, in his book Macrobiotic Diet, Michio Kushi states: ‘At
the time of the atomic bombing of Nagasaki in 1945, Tatsuichiro
Akizuki, M.D., was director of the Department of Internal Medicine at
St. Francis Hospital in Nagasaki. Most patients in the hospital, located
one mile from the center of the blast, survived the initial effects of
the bomb, but soon after came down with symptoms of radiation sickness
from the radioactivity that had been released. Dr. Akizuki fed his staff
and patients a strict macrobiotic diet of brown rice, miso* and tamari
soy sauce soup, wakame and other sea vegetables, Hokkaido pumpkin, and
sea salt and prohibited the consumption of sugar and sweets. As a
result, he saved everyone in his hospital, while many other survivors in
the city perished from radiation sickness.’”
In case you missed it the secret to surviving all forms of radiation exposure is sea salt. If you are concerned about the radiation fallout from the Japan nuclear plants disaster or if you had an X-ray (from hospitals and airport screening) or radiation treatments for cancer, soak your body in sea salt (not iodized table salt) baths to help pull out the radiation from your body.
If you were diagnosed with mouth or throat cancer and you were subjected to deadly radiation treatments gargling with baking soda mixed in water will help neutralize the radiation.
Baking soda is so powerful in curing radiation contamination that at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, researcher Don York has used baking soda to clean soil contaminated with uranium. Sodium bicarbonate binds with uranium, separating it from the dirt; so far, York has removed as much as 92 percent of the uranium from contaminated soil samples. Still not convinced? Would it help to know that the United States Army recommends the use of baking soda to protect the kidneys from radiation damage. link

Can Fetus Sense Mother's Psychological State? Study Suggests Yes
ScienceDaily (Nov. 10, 2011) — As a fetus
grows, it's constantly getting messages from its mother. It's not just
hearing her heartbeat and whatever music she might play to her belly; it
also gets chemical signals through the placenta. A new study, which
will be published in Psychological Science, a journal of the
Association for Psychological Science, finds that this includes signals
about the mother's mental state. If the mother is depressed, that
affects how the baby develops after it's born. In recent decades, researchers have found that the environment a fetus
is growing up in -- the mother's womb -- is very important. Some effects
are obvious. Smoking and drinking, for example, can be devastating. But
others are subtler; studies have found that people who were born during
the Dutch famine of 1944, most of whom had starving mothers, were
likely to have health problems like obesity and diabetes later. link
Entoptic Imagery and Altered States of Consciousness
Entoptic images are visual effects which
originate within the visual processing system of the observer. The
term ‘entoptic’ comes from the Greek for ‘within vision’, indicating
that the images come from anywhere within the optic system, between the
eye itself and the neural cortex where signals from the optic nerve are
interpreted. Since it originates within the visual system, entoptic
imagery can only be seen by the observer.
Types of Entopic Images
There are a variety of types of entoptic
images which originate in different parts of the visual system. Some
of the most well understood entoptic effects originate within the
eyeball itself. These include floaters, which are formations of protein
clumps in the vitreous gel of the eyeball that can be seen when looking
at a bright, blank background such as the sky; Read more:
EN - UFO At NFL Game: TV Camera Captures Strange Object In Flight During Broadcast
For many football fans who watched the New Orleans Saints rout the
Indianapolis Colts on Oct. 23, the most unusual thing about the game was
the lopsided final score of 62-7. But for UFO aficionados and paranormal experts who tuned in, they may
have seen something in the sky that was even more out-of-the-ordinary
than the tossing of more touchdowns vs. incompletions. As NBC's cameras returned from a commercial break and focused on the
historic, triple-steepled St. Louis Cathedral in the city nicknamed the
Big Easy, a couple of lit objects seemed to streak across the darkening
sky -- and they've yet to be definitively identified. link
Seals use incredible navigation skills to return to site where they were born
The Antarctic fur seals' remarkable homing instinct, which is thought to be
the most accurate of any sea mammal, allows the creatures to return to
within a single body length of the spot where they were born to give birth
to their own pups.
Nearly four million of the sea mammals breed in huge colonies on the virtually
featureless beaches of South Georgia every year. After being born, the seals
spend five years out at sea feeding before returning to the island to breed.
Using radio tags placed on 335 seals shortly after they were born, researchers
at the British Antarctic Survey have discovered that each seal returns to
exactly the same location on the beach once they start breeding year after
year.
But while typical human Global Positioning Systems (GPS), which use satellites
orbiting the earth, can pinpoint a location to an accuracy of around 15
feet, the seals were found to be accurate down to as little as six feet. link
Oldest rock art in Egypt discovered
Using a new technology known as optically stimulated luminescence
(OSL), a team of Belgian scientists and Professor John Coleman Darnell
of Yale have determined that Egyptian petroglyphs found at the east bank
of the Nile are about 15,000 years old, making them the oldest rock art
in Egypt and possibly the earliest known graphic record in North
Africa.
The dating results will be published in the December issue of Antiquity (Vol. 85 Issue 330, pp. 1184–1193).
The site of the rock art panels is near the modern village of Qurta, about 40km south of the Upper-Egyptian town of Edfu. First seen by Canadian archaeologists in the early 1960s, they were subsequently forgotten and relocated by the Belgian mission in 2005. The rediscovery was announced in the Project Gallery of Antiquity in 2007.
The rock art at Qurta is characterized by hammered and incised naturalistic-style images of aurochs and other wild animals. On the basis of their intrinsic characteristics (subject matter, technique, and style), their patina and degree of weathering, as well as the archaeological and geomorphological context, these petroglyphs have been attributed to the late Pleistocene era, specifically to the late Palaeolithic period (roughly 23,000 to 11,000 ago). This makes them more or less contemporary with European art from the last Ice Age — such as the wall-paintings of Lascaux and Altamira caves. link

Copenhagen votes to legalise marijuana
The scheme, if approved by the Danish
parliament at the start of next year, could make the city the first to fully
legalise, rather than simply tolerate, marijuana consumption.
The drug is already sold openly on the streets of Christiania, a
self-proclaimed 'free town' in the city centre, despite the closure of the
neighbourhood's Amsterdam-style coffee shops in 2004.
But marijuana has never been officially decriminalised and those caught in
possession of even small amounts face fines of up to £450. link
DEA to legalize marijuana chemical for Big Pharma but keep it a crime for everyone else
(NaturalNews) Have no illusions about the true nature of the so-called
"War on Drugs" and the actions of the DEA. The War on Drugs has always
been about protecting the profits of the drug companies which have a
long and well-documented history of copying street drugs, repackaging
them as "medications" and selling them to children as FDA-approved drugs
(see below).
Today, yet another example emerges as the DEA moves to legalize THC in Big Pharma's pills while simultaneously making it illegal for anyone else to grow, sell or possess THC. The DEA, you see, is working to change the classification of THC from a schedule I substance (like street heroin) to a schedule III drug (pharmaceuticals). So if Big Pharma grows its own marijuana plants, extracts the THC and puts it into a "pot pill," those pills will be perfectly legal. They're already FDA approved, actually, when made with the synthetic version of THC. Learn more:

Colossal Storm Rages Over Saturn’s Surface
First appearing as a tiny blemish on Dec. 5, 2010, the storm is still
going strong today, surpassing the ringed giant's previous longest
tempest, which lasted 150 days back in 1903. NASA’s Cassini spacecraft, in orbit around Saturn, has given astronomers a front-seat view of this enormous maelstrom and provided valuable data.
From its humble beginnings, the storm has grown to engulf the entire area between Saturn’s 30th and 51st north latitudes. From north to south, the tempest stretches about 9,000 miles — greater than diameter of the Earth — and covers two billion square miles, or eight times the surface area of our planet. link

Teenage video game players have brains 'like gambling addicts'
Teenagers who spend hours playing video games may have a similar brain structure to gambling addicts, research suggests.
In a study of 14-year-olds, those who played frequently had a larger ‘reward centre’ in their brains than those who played less often.
Brain scans showed those who played for more than nine hours a week produced more of the ‘feel-good’ chemical dopamine. Read more:

The Internet Looks Like a Fractal Dandelion
In 2004 Barrett Lyon’s friends bet him $50 that he couldn’t map the
entire Internet in a day. Within two weeks the self-described
technologist and entrepreneur had created a program that could output a

years and billions more Internet-connected devices later, Lyon is still at it.
This cosmic-looking image, one of his newest creations, traces the
millions of routes along which data can travel and pinpoints the hubs
receiving the most traffic. Internet giants such as AT&T and Google
manage the most heavily used networks, which appear here as glowing
yellow orbs; they tend to concentrate in the center of the sphere. The
less popular local networks (red) sit on the periphery. Although Lyon’s
visualizations have appeared in computing textbooks and at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, he says he has yet to collect on his bet. link
Solar System May Have Lost Fifth Giant Planet
Astronomer David Nesvorny from the Southwest Research Institute in Texas believes
that the solar system might have once contained a fifth gigantic
planet, which was ejected deep into the galaxy in a moment of cosmic
turmoil. By looking at the population of the Kuiper belt
— the icy-cold ring of asteroids beyond Neptune — and by studying the
historical fingerprints left on the craters of the Moon, Nesvorny was
able to piece together clues about our solar system’s adolescence.
He found that a dynamic instability, which occurred about 600 million
years into the solar system’s life, greatly affected the orbit of our
giant planets and scattered smaller bodies. Some moved into the Kuiper
belt and others traveled inwards, marking their course as impacts on the
Moon and planets. link

Rising from beneath the waves: A new Canary Island emerges as underwater volcano hits the surface
A brand new Canary island is emerging from the sea as an underwater volcano bubbles to the surface.
Magma off the Canary Island of El Hierro has been spewing 20 metres high as the sea boils with a smell of sulphur.
As it grows and gets closer to the surface, more and more debris such as stones start to shoot out of the volcano which, until now, has only shown its explosive power below the surface.
It is now just 70 metres from the surface and islanders are already trying to come up with a name for the new island. It is quite close to El Hierro and if it continues to erupt it could eventually meet up with the mainland. Read more:

EU bans claim that water can prevent dehydration
EU officials concluded that, following a three-year investigation, there was
no evidence to prove the previously undisputed fact.
Producers of bottled water are now forbidden by law from making the claim and
will face a two-year jail sentence if they defy the edict, which comes into
force in the UK next month.
Last night, critics claimed the EU was at odds with both science and common
sense. Conservative MEP Roger Helmer said: “This is stupidity writ large.
“The euro is burning, the EU is falling apart and yet here they are:
highly-paid, highly-pensioned officials worrying about the obvious qualities
of water and trying to deny us the right to say what is patently true.
“If ever there were an episode which demonstrates the folly of the great
European project then this is it.” link
Walter Russell - The Leonardo Da Vinci of the 20th Century
Walter Russell - The Leonardo Da Vinci of the 20th Century
walter-russell.de
Walter Bowman Russell (May 19, 1871 – May 19, 1963) was an American artist and mystic known for his achievements as a painter, sculptor, author and builder and less well known as a natural philosopher and for his unified theory in physics and cosmogony. He posited that the universe was founded on a unifying principle of rhythmic balanced interchange. This physical theory, laid out primarily in his books The Secret of Light (1947) and The Message of the Divine Iliad (1948–49), has not been accepted by mainstream scientists.
Russell asserted that this was mainly due to a difference in the assumptions made about the existence of mind and matter; Russell assumes the existence of mind as cause while he believes that scientists in general assume the existence of mind as effect. Russell was also proficient in philosophy, music, ice skating, and was a professor at the institution he founded, the University of Science and Philosophy. He believed mediocrity is self-inflicted and genius is self-bestowed. The content of his public lectures and his writing about living philosophy place him firmly in the New Thought Movement.
In 1963, Walter Cronkite in the national television evening news, commenting on Dr. Walter Russell‘s death, referred to him as "... the Leonardo da Vinci of our time." After Walter Russell died (which the Russells referred to as being "refolded"), his wife Lao Russell kept USP going successfully until she herself died in 1988.
