*Cloned Cattle In The Human Food
Chain<http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/geraldwarner/100049740/cloned-cattle-in-the-human-food-chain-officialdom-talks-a-lot-of-bull/>
*
There are few more familiar and pathetic spectacles than British bumbledom,
caught red-handed in some grotesque piece of incompetence, burbling its
denials of accountability. Now that the public has become aware that both
milk and meat from cloned cows and their numerous offspring are apparently
coursing freely through the human food chain, the stampede for alibis has
begun among officialdom. In the front line is the Food Standards Agency, set
up 10 years ago in panic reaction to the provoked by the BSE scare. For 48
hours the FSA stoutly maintained that no milk or meat from cloned animals or
their offspring had ever entered the food chain. This stance has now been
modified (ie totally discredited), with Tim Smith, the FSA chief executive,
admitting that the agency does not know how many cloned embryos have entered
Britain and that a three-year-old bull derived from a cloned animal was
slaughtered, sold and eaten last year.

*Crops Absorb Pharmaceuticals From Sewage On Farms
* <http://pubs.acs.org/cen/news/88/i32/8832news.html>Each year, U.S. farmers
fertilize their fields with millions of tons of treated sewage and irrigate
with billions of gallons of recycled water. Through this treated waste, an
array of pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) make their way
unregulated from consumers' homes into farm fields. Now researchers find
that at least one crop, soybeans, can readily absorb these chemicals, which
raises concerns about the possible effects on people and animals that
consume the PPCP-containing plants. Researchers have previously shown that
food crops take up veterinary medicines from manure fertilizer and some
cabbage species absorb human pharmaceuticals when grown in hydroponic
conditions. But environmental scientist Chenxi Wu and colleagues at the
University of Toledo in Ohio wanted to determine if a major food crop could
absorb common PPCPs under more realistic agricultural conditions, such as
plants grown in soil. If the chemicals do find their way into the crops
under real-life conditions, they could be toxic to the plants, Wu says. "Or
they could accumulate through the food chain, and eventually end up in human
consumers," he adds.

*Found: IMF Document Illustrates Plan To
Form Global Currency<http://rawstory.com/rs/2010/0805/imf-documents-illustrate-plan-turn-drawing-rights-global-currency/>
*
It's no secret that many of the world's largest industrialized nations are
somewhat eager to ease their reliance on the U.S. dollar. For months China
and Russia have pushed ever subtly, for a new "global reserve currency," to
give governments around the world enhanced economic stability in the event
of greater fluctuations in the dollar's value. But what wasn't known, until
recently, is how far along the International Monetary Fund was in the
planning of elevating its so-called "special drawing rights" from mere
international agreement to an actual, legitimate global currency. The report
examines what it calls the "imperfections" of the global reserve banking
structures, and how hoarding of reserves by sovereign nations can subject
the system to risk and occasional shocks. In 35 pages of extrapolation and
footnotes, the IMF's Strategy, Policy and Review Department lays out the how
and why of a global currency, which would move from an "inside money" as the
SDR to an "outside money" that is traded by governments. However, they
conclude that "the ideas discussed are unlikely to materialize in the
foreseeable future absent a dramatic shift in appetite for international
cooperation."

Until I talked to Nick Bostrom, a philosopher at Oxford University, it never
occurred to me that our universe might be somebody else's hobby. I hadn't
imagined that the omniscient, omnipotent creator of the heavens and earth
could be an advanced version of a guy who spends his weekends building model
railroads or overseeing video-game worlds like the Sims. But now it seems
quite possible. In fact, if you accept a pretty reasonable assumption of Dr.
Bostrom's, it is almost a mathematical certainty that we are living in
someone else's computer simulation... The Demurrage [sic], the creator, is
in the shadow land, the world he created, his own personal matrix. In the
gnostic tradition, the savior comes from the real world, into the darkness,
then returns to it. This is the largest gnostic idea in the film: two
worlds, one being a mear [sic] reflection of the other. ...The truth can be
a frightening thing, especially dedendingon [sic] the nature of the truth.
When comes to our perception of everyday activities, it seems to be so real.
The truth is, we don't know what's out there, but how things will turn out,
or how that began.

Today the Singularity Institute is based in Silicon Valley, the Singularity
University is campused at NASA, and an annual Singularity Summit, with nine
hundred-plus in attendance last year, takes place around the country. There
are Singularity activists, Singularity blogs, Singularity t-shirts, and even
Singularity bashers, all of which confirms the status of the Singularity as
a social movement, though Singularitarians themselves sometimes call it a
revolution. "The problem with choosing or not choosing to be a part of our
'revolution'," Michael Anissimov, an organizer of the Singularity Summit,
wrote on his blog, "is that, for better or for worse, there probably is no
choice. When superintelligence is created, it will impact everyone on Earth,
whether we like it or not." While Kurzweil's draw has helped galvanize the
movement, Yudkowsky's concerns have guided its practical and ideological
agendas, linking the development of Friendly AI to "the common concern of
humanity." It sounds odd, then, to hear Singularitarians say that the
biggest mistake anyone can make on the way to Friendly AI is to try and
predict superintelligence using human standards. The trouble, at any rate,
is that it isn't Gandhi setting the initial conditions. It is an advisor to
the *US Department of Defense *(which uses artificially intelligent agents
to bomb Afghan villages) and a free market xenophobe. As they say: now I'm
really beginning to worry

I WANT TO BE LEFT BEHIND
I Want to Be Left Behind: Finding Rapture Here on Earth [Excerpts from
reviews]
Publisher comments: "In Brenda Peterson's unusual memoir, fundamentalism
meets deep ecology. The author's childhood in the high Sierra with her
forest ranger father led her to embrace the entire natural world, while her
Southern Baptist relatives prepared eagerly and busily to leave this world.
Peterson survived fierce sword drill competitions demanding total recall of
the Scriptures and awkward dinner table questions (Will Rapture take the
cat, too?) only to find that environmentalists with prophecies of doom can
also be Endtimers. Peterson paints such a hilarious, loving portrait of each
world that the reader, too, may want to be Left Behind."
[TBC: " Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what
we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him;
for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him
purifieth himself, even as he is pure" (1 John 3:2-3).]
From Publishers Weekly: Talk of the rapture--the ascent to heaven of true
Christians before the end of the world--surrounds [Brenda] Peterson (Duck
and Cover), and she engages this conversation with delicacy, humor,
frustration, and, at times, a begrudging respect, in this memoir about
growing up among Southern Baptists and not quite fitting in. Peterson's
story is told through what is really a series of vignettes, tied together by
two themes, faith and the environment. She looks back at her childhood,
college, and then adulthood, stopping here and there, selecting scenes from
her life that show why she finds God outdoors, and why the rapture-obsessed
family and community of her youth quickly loses its appeal. Her love for
this world and everything in it is far greater than any promise of salvation
apart from and above it.
[TBC: "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any
man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in
the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of
life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away,
and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever" (1
John 2:15-17).]

This week on 'The Hal Lindsey Report'
On this week's edition of "The Hal Lindsey Report": If there's one
contemporary cultural phenomenon that gets under my skin, it's "Political
Correctness." This week, I want to take a closer look at how "PC" is slowly
destroying our society and eroding our freedoms as Americans.
Don't make the mistake of thinking that "political correctness" is simply a
product of the evolution of our culture and our growing sophistication as a
society. It's not. Rather, it is a TOOL being used by the 'progressive'
(read that 'liberal') elements of our society to intimidate most of us into
silence. If we're afraid to speak out, then we can't stop them from
pursuing their evil agenda.
As a political device, "political correctness" flows directly from Karl
Marx. Speech-manipulation is nothing more than a tool of classical Marxism.
There are two raging issues in our country today that literally depend on
"political correctness" for the traction their proponents have gained.
Those issues are illegal immigration and the Islamification of America.
This week, I'll show you how they stand or fall on the definitions of the
terms thrown about everyday in the media and at the highest levels of
government.
When I watch TV and see the protest signs, listen to the protesters being
interviewed, read what the movement leaders have to say, and see how the
government officials react like deer caught in the headlights, it almost
makes me nauseous. Words and their meanings are vitally important. Yet the
very words that are needed in these debates have been so horrendously and
maliciously skewed that the truth is nowhere in sight. And how can anyone
make rational decisions if the basic premises are out of whack to start?
Jesus said that "you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you
free." In a politically correct society, truth is the first victim. We
live in a politically correct society.
Many of you write to me to express how helpless you feel as you watch these
charades unfold on the nightly news. I completely understand. I have an
idea. It's not a new one. I know others are doing this around the
country. When you feel in despair over how quickly our nation is sliding
into this pit of confusion, deception, and denial, and you ache to do
something about it, make it a point to pray specifically that God will cause
the truth to be revealed. You don't have to pray 'against' anyone or any
organization, just pray that the lies will be exposed and the truth will be
revealed. We know that God loves the truth and if He, by His grace,
intervenes to cause the truth to be revealed in our culture, our society,
and our government, then maybe we can begin to see a return to sanity and
our Judeo-Christian heritage in our beloved America.
Our national anthem closes with these words: "O, say, does that
star-spangled banner yet wave o'er the land of the free and the home of the
brave?" If we, as Americans and Christians, don't make this the 'home of
the brave' by fearlessly defying political correctness, then soon we will no
longer be 'the land of the free.'

God Bless,
Hal Lindsey
