Afghanistan keeps being a surprising place. Here's an article about a female Afghan general, Suhaila Siddiq, who's also a medical doctor. She doesn't seem to have much respect for people in the west who according to her are making issues out of the wrong things about the situation of Afghan women.

My life matters
It always matters whether I reach out in friendship or lash out in anger.
It matters whether I live with compassion and awareness or whether I succumb to distractions and trivia.
It always matters how I treat other people, how I treat animals, and how I treat myself.
It always matters what I do. It always matters what I say. And it always matters what I eat.
When I choose to affirm the dignity inherent in life and to uphold the beauty, the magic, and the mystery of the living Earth, something happens.
It happens whether or not anyone else recognizes my efforts, and it happens regardless of how wounded or flawed I am.
What happens is I join a long lineage of human beings who have stood for and helped to bring about a future worthy of all the tears and prayers our species has known.
My life becomes a statement of human possibility.
My life becomes an instrument through which a healthier, more compassionate, and more sustainable future will come to be.
Excerpt from "The Food Revolution" by John Robbins

Animal fat is the number one killer in America.
Someone you love will probably die from it.
And many people you know certainly will.
Slaughtered somewhat like the cows and pigs.
Read this inside report of the propaganda hoisted upon us by the advertising industry/vultures/parasisites - I'm angry:

Are you questioning what you've been taught all your life. Guess who gets to go on luxury vacations while you're on your deathbed:

(Sorry, I'm still angry)

This is posted a little late in regards to protesting about the specific meeting mentioned, but I'm sure the issue is far from over. The "Codex Alimentarius" commission, working with the U.N. and the European Union, is attempting to control and monopolize the rules for vitamins and supplements we're allowed to buy worldwide. This has been going on for several years and things are being decided mostly in secret, although the decisions will block the free choice of health practices for millions of people. The Codex commission is dominated by the pharmaceutical industry. Anyway, the website to go to is: [link] More >

The software, part of a new "Enhanced Carnivore Project" code named "Magic Lantern", is supposedly capable of secretly being installed on a remote user's computer, and be able to monitor keystrokes. It functions in a similar fashion as a virus or "trojan horse" program. Article at Washington Post. Now, what I find more upsetting, however, is that one of the leading makers if virus protection programs, McAfee, is planning to deliberately leave holes in their detection to allow FBI's viruses to infect people's computers without setting off any alarms. Now THAT I'd call criminal. More >

A new map of the gravitational field across the planet shows that if you want to lose weight you should go to India, where the pull of gravity is slightly less than it is elsewhere on the planet. Article at BBC News. Well, really the variation is only about 1% so I guess it isn't all that mysterious. More >

According to this Yahoo article a group of private companies are looking towards starting mining operations on the moon within 10 years. Lots of things they haven't sorted out yet, though. The 1979 U.N. Moon Treaty stipulates that any wealth obtained from the moon by any space-faring nation must be distributed to all the people of the world. Hey, that sounds great. But the treaty was never ratified by the actual spacefaring nations like U.S. and Russia. More >

A team at Columbia University Microsystem Engineering Laboratory has developed a 20W electrical generator powered by a hydrogen turbine just 4mm in diameter. For more details, read the Wired article or an older Popular Science article. The tiny generator is more efficient than any battery. More >

Tonight on T.V. was a program about Wizards it was actually called..." Real Wizards ; the search for Harry's ( meaning Harry Potter's) Ancestors" This program covered all historical references to wizardry including pre-celtic origins (26,000B.C.) and Drudic Activities. But the most amazing facts concerned the so called Bog People for example the Tolland Man. Apprently these people weren't workers or labourers but rather of the upper class. Furthermore lab analysis has proved that they had a mixture in their stomachs ( their last supper, given before their Ritual Slaughter) that contained over 20 different cereals, and that mixture included Ergot the bacteria which LSD was synthezised from.The Ergot insured that the victim was oblivious to the garroting or stabbing that would ritually end his life. See a picture of the Tollund man at this site...
