Maybe the Most Orwellian Text Message a Government's Ever Sent
"Dear subscriber, you are registered as a participant in a mass disturbance." That's a text message that thousands of Ukrainian protesters spontaneously received on their cell phones today, as a new law prohibiting public demonstrations went into effect. It was the regime's police force, sending protesters the perfectly dystopian text message to accompany the newly minted, perfectly dystopian legislation. In fact, ...

 Pesticides are making bees 'shrink'
Experts have long believed there is a connection between bees, pesticides, and the worrying decline of the insect population. Colony Collapse Disorder has puzzled and concerned scientists, and a new study has revealed that a common pesticide used on flowering plants (pyrethroid) stunts the growth of bees, making them smaller. Smaller bees may be less effective at harvesting honey and pollination, vital ...

New evidence that plants get their energy using quantum entanglement

Now, scientists have discovered a feature of plants that cannot be explained by classical physics alone - but which quantum mechanics answers quite nicely. The fact that biological systems can exploit quantum effects is quite astounding. In a ...

John Maynard Keynes and Economic Fascism
To quote something Keynes said back in 1920: "There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose." What is stated ...

Is a mini ice age on the way? Scientists warn the Sun has 'gone to sleep' and say it could cause temperatures to plunge
The Sun's activity is at its lowest for 100 years, scientists have warned.

New Moon & Mercury Enters Pisces
The second New Moon occurs on January 30 at 10 degrees Aquarius. We can look at things with a fresh view, an opportunity to think outside the box. All this will be rather easy because Aquarius is happiest when he is shaking things up. He enjoys presenting the world with a new way to do things and a new way to see things.
The Aquarian focus brings in the mental/intellectual element and expression of ideas and ideals. It is a favorable month to cooperate with like-minded individuals to achieve mutual goals. An alignment with Jupiter in Cancer encourages us to broaden our horizons and widen our perspective. The Sabian symbol for this degree, "During a silent hour, a man receives a new inspiration which may change his life; the need to rely upon inner inspiration and guidance at the start of new developments," suggests that we take time for some introspection in order to receive new insights from our guides/high self.
1/31/14 Mercury Enters Pisces - Get ready for some mental meandering! Communication planet Mercury moves into dreamy Pisces on Jan. 31, 2014, and our minds are now likely to go off-course to places words cannot describe. At first, Mercury will only be in Pisces for five days before turning retrograde from February 6-28. On February 12, Mercury will slide back out of Pisces into Aquarius until it begins moving forward again on February 28. Finally, Mercury will move into Pisces on March 17 and stay through April 7. Managing details will be more difficult with Mercur in Pisces, especially during Mercury Retrograde. It will be a very creative time, but not so sharp when it comes to thinking and communication.
