Instead of helping us by importing cars from the US (which would help our ailing car manufacturers), the Chinese are helping stem their pollution problem by getting back on their bikes (which may help THEIR overpopulation problem!)

There are now four million vehicles in Beijing, meaning that they have American-style traffic jams, while 20 years ago, 4 out of 5 commuters rode bikes to work. China, which is one of the world’s only successful economies right now, has imported other American ideas as well: cars as status symbols, and bigger cars are considered to indicate success. In BBC News, Michael Bristow quotes Beijing car owner Richard Liu as saying, “I think 80% of Chinese people want to have a car, even if they don’t have much money they will buy cheaper ones.”read more

Something suspicious is going on: Although they are supposed to be brainy, our bankers have not been making a lot of bad decisions lately. Is this because they’ve been on a diet?

It’s always hard to wait for an investment to pay off, but it’s often worth the wait, especially if the reward will be larger. But sometimes the temptation for the smaller, immediate reward becomes too great and we simply cannot resist it. Selecting the immediate reward is known as “future discounting” and often suggests a lack of self-control. Studies have indicated that there may be a link between blood glucose levels and this type of thinking. Making difficult choices uses up cognitive resources (or brain power) and these resources can be restored by increasing blood glucose.

The great Jim Marrs has a phenomenal new book out called the Sisterhood of the Rose. It’s fiction based on fact, and it delves into secrets that Jim cannot prove but that he believes to be true.

A secret sisterhood existed during WWII that worked against Hitler’s dream of world conquest in crucial but extremely secret ways. Lives were sacrificed in secret, in pursuit of the goal of human freedom, a goal that could not have been reached without the Sisterhood.

Learn about these courageous women and the extraordinary, forgotten role they played in the war, in Whitley Strieber’s exciting interview of Jim Marrs.

Jim’s website is JimMarrs.com.

Right before 911, Donald Rumsfeld quietly announced that the Pentagon has lost 2.3 TRILLION dollars! That was on September 10. On September 11, the Pentagon was hit by a plane, a missile–or something. And what took the most damage? None other than the Army’s accounting office.

The lost money has never been followed up. In this powerful discussion, Whitley Strieber and Jim Marrs discuss just where that money might have gone, and what might be going on behind the sealed doors of our government.

Ask yourself the question, ‘what could we do with 2.3 Trillion dollars right now?’ Then reflect on this–you will never see a penny of that money. All you will see is another demand on April 15 for MORE money for them to hide, lose, steal, burn or whatever they did with it. read more
