"Mindfulness" is becoming the latest buzz word being applied as a solution in almost every industry, profession and human condition in the developed world. In British newspapers published in 2004, the term was used in articles just twice, yet ten years later that figure had risen to 150 mentions.

But what is exactly is mindfulness and why is it becoming a global panacea?

The practise of mindfulness has been derived from ancient Buddhist philosophies, and is described in the dictionary as "the meditative state of being both fully aware of the moment and of being self-conscious of and attentive to this awareness; a state of intense concentration on one’s own thought processes; self-awareness."

A combination of industrial pollution and climate-change-driven oxygen loss is turning the great Canadian lakes into jelly, according to new research by Cambridge University scientists published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B.

A "battle of the plankton" between two competing species, Holopedium and the planktonic Daphnia, has been taking place in the delicate ecosystem of the lakes; however, calcium depletion in the lakes is making survival difficult for Daphnia, which require the mineral to form a vital component of their exoskeleton defending them from predators, and consequently populations of Holopedium have doubled since the 1980s. Without the presence of Daphnia, algae is multiplying and providing an unlimited food source for its competitor.read more

Whitley Strieber begins by asking Joseph and Catherine a question he will ask Richard Dolan again next week: what would they do about the implant? Then Whitley and Anne tell a shocking story about being exposed to radiation in the early nineties, in a situation that killed one of their beloved cats.

Joseph and Catherine respond from their deep knowledge of what might be happening. Is the implant dangerous? Does the brain tumor that Anne Strieber has developed have anything to do with what happened in the early nineties?

There is substantial evidence that another human civilization exists that is far in advance of our own. But who are they, and how have they gained their technological advantage?

This week, we begin a two week discussion with Joseph Farrell, Catherine Austin Fitts and Richard Dolan about the breakaway civilization, what it is, why it exists, how it came to possess its technologies, and why it is so secretive.

In this first week, Whitley Strieber begins by offering proof that it actually exists, in the form of the implant in his ear. He remembers it being put in by people, not aliens. It has been studied and found to be far in advance of anything that is publicly available. So people with advanced technical knowledge installed it.
