[See the full post at: Debt Rattle May 31 2016]Since it’s my job to point out that when the entire society is corrupt, science is too, here you go:
https://www.naturalnews.com/054141_Big_Pharma_research_fraud_ghost_writing_science_papers.htmlPharma paid PR firms to write their research studies for them. No one really checks. Checking would cost money, and you get the money for that research from corporations. So really, they’re just cutting out all the waste of running fraudulent studies and hiding the destructive ones, and just making up the research they were going to pay to have published anyway.
So is this better, or worse, than the 300 computer-generated nonsense articles that were also published without anyone noticing? Science is not religion, and should not be treated as such.
I had heard about the Saudi/U.S. story awhile back: the U.S. protected Saudi Arabia (the princes from the peasants, no doubt, as well as outside forces) and the Saudis bought U.S. debt. Of course the Saudis can threaten to sell their U.S. Treasuries if they don’t get their way, but the U.S. can also threaten to: send in their NGO’s, start another Arab Spring (you know, democracy and all that); create another ISIS-type evil within Saudi Arabia; or start calling the Saudis terrorists/dictators (or any other derogatory term deemed necessary), sanction the country, suffocating it. Just picture the mobs of angry protesters chasing the princes as they sprint to their jets.
Article entitled: “Why Exactly Does Saudi Arabia Fund the Spread of Wahhabism? How did Saudi Arabia end up funding the building of mosques and madrasas around the world?”
“Many in the West may be unaware of the significance of an event in Saudi Arabian history for the rest of the world. In an article titled Saudia Arabia and Iran: The Cold War of Islam (sic – the “i” in Saudia still stands two weeks after the article was posted), Spiegel International reports that in November of 1979, the same year as the Iranian revolution
…Sunni terrorists seized the Grand Mosque in Mecca and took thousands of pilgrims hostage. Their leader came from the heart of Saudi Arabia and claimed to be the Mahdi, or redeemer — and he called for the overthrow of the king. The royal family saw little choice but to call for assistance from French special forces — infidels — to liberate the mosque.
One effect: “The House of Saud was humiliated, particularly in front of its own religious establishment.” How did it attempt to restore its status?
… the princes sought to cleanse themselves by beginning to send billions in oil money to radical preachers — preachers who then carried Wahhabism, the most strict and unforgiving form of Islam, around the world.”

So the king and princelings of Saudi Arabia (not exactly the most religious, what with the blonde babes pouring out of the woodwork) maintain their position by placating the religious right. These religious fanatics, in turn, keep the masses in line. Everybody is safely tucked into their positions.
Unfortunately, because of this, we end up with mosques all over the place, paid for by the Saudis (in order to protect themselves and stay in power). Of course, we also get the oil that cooks our dinner as we look out our kitchen window at a mosque, and they do buy our debt so that we can keep living beyond our means.
When you want something, you inevitably always give something else up. But if you end up sacrificing your culture, you end up paying a heavy price.
Dalai Lama said:
“Speaking to German reporters in the de facto capital of Tibet’s exiled government, the Dalai Lama apparently said that “too many” refugees are seeking asylum in Europe.
“Europe, for example Germany, cannot become an Arab country,” he said with a laugh, according to AFP, which quoted from an interview the spiritual leader gave to Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, a German newspaper. “Germany is Germany. There are so many that in practice it becomes difficult.” […]
From a moral point of view, too, I think that the refugees should only be admitted temporarily,” the Dalai Lama said. […]
Beyond the skepticism, the Dalai Lama did convey his characteristic compassion.
“When we look into the face of every single refugee, especially the children and women, we can feel their suffering,” he said. “The goal should be that they return and help rebuild their countries.”
The Dalai Lama is absolutely correct. These “refugees” should return and rebuild their countries. In fact, before that can happen, the young ones should go into the army and kick out those invaders who messed up places like Syria.
It is unheard of that a people should leave – without defending – their country to take up residence elsewhere. That is a new one.
