Will the EU Become a Criminal Union Tomorrow?

The European Union – a criminal? The EU that has peace as it’s top goal and received Nobel’s Peace Prize? The EU with Schengen and Dublin? The EU with “European” values, humanism and mission civilisatrice that tells others how to live in accordance with international law and in respect for human rights? We live in times where little shall surprise us anymore. The answer to the question – will EU become a criminal in international law terms? – will be answered on March 17 and 18 when the EU Council meets to decide whether or not to carry through the agreement with Turkey about how to handle refugees.

Sepp Hasslberger: Medical Establishment Seeks to Destroy Those Who Challenge Vaccine Safety — Courts Swinging in Favor of Challengers

Shaken Baby Syndrome is a medical diagnosis used to accuse parents of killing a baby by violently shaking it, because we know that “vaccines are safe” and cannot cause injury. It turns out the diagnosis is non-scientific, the injuries are not consistent with shaking. Neuropathologist Dr. Squier, who is blowing the whistle on this, is being attacked by the medical establishment. Scientific discussion? No way.

World Renowned Neuropathologist has Career Destroyed for Disproving Shaken Baby Syndrome

The medical theory of “shaken baby syndrome” (SBS) is quickly losing credibility, with many doctors, scientists, and attorneys now speaking out against SBS and the fact that innocent parents have been falsely accused of child abuse. Courts are now re-trying some cases based on testimonies from these doctors and professionals, and some cases have recently been over-turned. The medical profession is fighting back. The reasons are quite obvious. To admit that the theory behind SBS is false, would open the door to major litigation, as the [false] theory has been used to convict thousands of parents of child abuse, and to perhaps remove tens of thousands of children from their homes and families.

A 10 Year Vision: Future Trends in Geospatial Information Management

The United Nations Committee of Experts on Global Geospatial Information Management (UN-GGIM) recently published their second edition of Future Trends in Geospatial Information Management. I blogged about the first edition here. Below are some of the excerpts I found interesting or noteworthy. The report itself is a 50-page document (PDF 7.1Mb).

Imperialism via Data: The Digitization of Human Behavior, “Social Radar”, Sensors and Neuroscience

John Stanton, Global Research, 13 March 2016

In 2007 I wrote and presented a conceptual paper to an international studies group in Portugal. The subject matter was, generally, the use of Evolutionary Cognitive Neuroscience (ECN) to manage humanity. That paper would eventually finds its way, remarkably, into Rebecca Costa’s seminal The Watchman’s Rattle.   . . . In just under ten years, the topics alluded to in my 2007 paper have taken the form of four converging and accelerating movements that seem likely to usher in drastic change in the human condition: The digitization of human behavior; cracking open the brain through neuroscience; the engineering and manipulation of human and non-human genomes; and the proliferation of the Internet of Things, which is code for the sensorization of the human/non-human, home, work, school, automobile, street, global commons, etc.  Read more.
