NATO protests happened over the weekend and they were nothing short of amazing. I still am in shock when I see the amount of protesters and police at these kinds of events. It’s something that we haven’t seen in decades. People are conscious, actively fighting corruption and spreading peace through information and love. Here’s my post on what happened Saturday with lots of media from Twitter (continue reading…)

How does depression help you remember? Don’t you force yourself to forget things when you’re depressed? Or is it the constant thinking of the past that leads to depression?
Luke from WeAreChange.org confronts Cass Sunstein on saying that conspiracy theorists should be taxed and government should engage in “cognitive infiltration” of these groups.
Listen closely as people in the crowd laugh when a potential Supreme Court justice says he doesn’t remember saying that governments should play a role in infiltrating and drowning out the voices of dissenters.

19 Scientific Evidence that Geomagnetic Storms Are Making You Sick
Geomagnetic storms aren’t just beautiful to look at — these disturbances in the Earth’s magnetic field could also be messing with your mind and body. There’s a ton of evidence suggesting that geomagnetic storms can cause everything from depression to cardiac problems — and may even be influencing the stock market.
A new paper suggests there’s a lot more evidence for this connection than anybody realizes.
The paper, published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B, argues that there’s a large, disparate, and controversial body of scientific literature that links geomagnetic storms to a number of animal behaviors, including cardiovascular, psychiatric and behavioral changes in humans. And author Dr. James Close has the enormous literature review to back up his claims.
