    And…?

    I can’t find the article but by far the majority of illness, both physical and mental, stems from some form of nutritional deficiency. We are not and can not feed the current population of the world. That is if your definition of feed is to nourish which doesn’t even come into the bottom line of the equation apparently.

    Also I just learned this from an eastern oregon Ag co-op manager;

    “The Real Reason Wheat is Toxic (it’s not the gluten)”

    The Real Reason Wheat is Toxic (it’s not the gluten)

    “Common wheat harvest protocol in the United States is to drench the wheat fields with Roundup several days before the combine harvesters work through the fields as the practice allows for an earlier, easier and bigger harvest”

    @ Jef Jelten, Thanks for the wheat-glyphosate article. It has a mechanism to explain the real, documented phenomenon of increasing wheat intolerance.

    Here are a couple of articles about the G-20 meeting that go beyond the chest-thumpng we see in the Anglophone press, one from Deutsche Welle, and the other from a rather obscure Russian political-news website.

    About MH17
    It seems that the Russians are sending a “message” to the West. This particular video is almost certainly fake. However, it was from a Western satellite and they do have the genuine video. They are telling the West to tone down their bluster about MH17 or the real video will be released. Very Russian.
    It also seems to have worked as Obama did not actually blame Russia or the Separatists of shooting down this aircraft. Look carefully at his wording at Brisbane:

    Earlier this year, it seems that the Russians sent another “message” to the West – that its most modern naval combat system was fallible. The same technique works against similar systems on land.

    “The Aegis Combat System is an integrated naval weapons system developed by the Missile and Surface Radar Division of RCA, and now produced by Lockheed Martin. It uses powerful computer and radar technology to track and guide weapons to destroy enemy targets.”

    Here’s a video of the Russian supersonic anti-ship cruise missile (2) hitting a ship with bow on shots (very difficult). The kinetic energy alone causes huge damage even before the warheads explode.
    My greatest fear is the apparent underestimation of the Russian’s technological abilities.
    The hubris and hyperbole coming from the west is just stunning/numbing…

    There is plenty of hubris in the West that is for sure. I hope the world moves back to some sort of equilibrium – which served us very well during the first cold war – and that no one power gets it into its head that it can do what it likes with impunity.

    It seems that the Russians have two economies: raw materials and military gear. In order to be able to produce their raw materials, they have to keep a powerful military to stop others from trying to grab their natural resources. Elementary really. 🙂

    @ Nassim

    When “the wall” fell and the Soviet dissolved, Chomsky warned that an important balance was lost. He foresaw the west taking full advantage and here we are.
    Yes, let’s hope for a healthy re-balancing.

    @Nassim,
    It’s an open question what was going on when the Russian fighter made all those passes over the AEGIS missile cruiser.
    This is what every military does when it wants to test the targeting radar of an adversary, but I don’t know exactly what was going on, and RT doesn’t say the ship was blinded during this. It’s an unsubstantiated allegation, as far as I can tell.

    I have no inside knowledge. The one thing I am sure of is that the more sophisticated electronic gear is, the easier it is to mess about with it. Obviously, if this story is true, the aircraft would also have had to contend with the interference. It sounds a bit like an electro-magnetic-pulse generator. Something fairly basic, but effective.

    It’s all still up in the air. The military certainly defends against EMP, and has that non-nuclear EMP weapon aboard drones. A large metal warship is much easier to defend against EMP than a fighter plane.
    Interestingly, the Russian persistence of using vacuum tubes, when the US had switched to solid state, made Russian fighters far more resistant to EMP damage. this is dated information. I don’t know their current electronics.
    Russian tubes are pretty good, though.
