     Communist China maps a realm of news with innocent lives?&lt;br&gt;
     Communist China is scheming a millennial terrorist activity by manipulating people's behaviors &lt;br&gt;
     through electromagnetic waves to contain criticism and harm innocent human lives.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
1.   The anomaly in community traffic of cars and motorcycles and drag racing,and reckless honking by &lt;br&gt;
     cars and motorcycles is exceeding an unprecedented level.&lt;br&gt;
2.   Communist China has the technology to scan the human brain waves through military satellite and &lt;br&gt;
     to discern and decipher their  thoughts,scheming to instill individual interference focusing on    &lt;br&gt;
     each individual in need using the satellite  electromagnetic waves.&lt;br&gt;
3.   Deploying electromagnetic waves is poised to project onto the human brain with certain &lt;br&gt;
     sounds for the perception of grossly traumatizing or startling pain,or deploying the broadcast &lt;br&gt;
     of noise via electromagnetic waves in sleeping humans with edited clips of films or through &lt;br&gt;
     voice or image signals onto our brains or besiege our sensory functions with fabricated &lt;br&gt;
     audible and sensory illusions.&lt;br&gt;
4.   It manipulates one's moods,such as smiling,nervousness,disgust,panic,anger,sorrow,&lt;br&gt;
     desires,appetite,and so forth.&lt;br&gt;
5.   It interferes the human brain's thinking capability,memory or linguistic capability,to name a &lt;br&gt;
     few,causing spasms of muscles and fingers in the left and right hands,stinging aches &lt;br&gt;
     throughout the body,coughing,yawning,trembling,involuntary blinking of the eye,runny &lt;br&gt;
     nose and so forth.&lt;br&gt;
6.   Electromagnetic waves are deployed to hinder the motoring functions of the body and neck,&lt;br&gt;
     disrupt the heartbeat or respiration,manipulate dizziness,deprive one's sleep,spasm,saliva &lt;br&gt;
     gland,dental neural pain,etc.&lt;br&gt;
7.   Watch out that Communist China is infiltrating the news media by deploying electromagnetic &lt;br&gt;
     waves to besiege the broadcast media,map out viral disillusion or erroneous perception,and &lt;br&gt;
     investigate threats of brainwashing in viral spreading.&lt;br&gt;
8.   It further moved to deploy various symptoms in what one sees of media icons,gesture terms,&lt;br&gt;
     adding a skewed interpretation to one's cognitive awareness,misleading an individual to &lt;br&gt;
     hallucinate or suffer,such as the North Korean's rigid smile,which is a tactic Communist &lt;br&gt;
     China often deploys to counter the people.&lt;br&gt;
9.   By observing the resolution accuracy of Communist China's sound and image (scenario) &lt;br&gt;
     interference projected onto the human's brain,this can only be achieved with a certain level &lt;br&gt;
     of frequencies at the source of interference,hence there is no doubt that it has to be the &lt;br&gt;
     electromagnetic wave. Yet questions remain as to what range of frequencies the source of &lt;br&gt;
     interference deploys,or what kind of electromagnetic waves insulation chamber would suffice &lt;br&gt;
     to provide an insulation yield? Communist China might deploy specific metal alloys as small scale &lt;br&gt;
     molecular antennas, which are attached to the human brain in large number,creating &lt;br&gt;
     electromagnetic waves when the human brain is in function,where the current created by &lt;br&gt;
     Communist China's electromagnetic interference would poise to amplify in a staggering &lt;br&gt;
     number of multiplication,which Communist China can detect at all times to discern and &lt;br&gt;
     muscles would excel the generation of electrode,which in turn create a corresponding &lt;br&gt;
     electromagnetic wave within.&lt;br&gt;
10.  Some of Communist China's intimidation experiences in 2002:6.9 "Hey,are you tired of living?"&lt;br&gt;
     6.14 "We had concocted the bombing incident at the U.S. embassy in Pakistan" &lt;br&gt;
     "Jiang Zhemin ordered us to kill you,but without creating scenes"6.16 "The Pakistani &lt;br&gt;
     civilian troops confessed that they had schemed the bombing of the U.S. embassy in &lt;br&gt;
     Pakistan,which we had manipulated them to confess,so what are you going to do about it?"&lt;br&gt;
     6.19 "Hey,why don't you just go ahead and commit suicide""We are going to scheme &lt;br&gt;
     murder using the public bus"6.20 "Commit suicide by burning charcoal,get it?"6.25 "Jiang &lt;br&gt;
     Zhemin just does not like you,go hit your head against the wall".&lt;br&gt;
11.  I reckon that there are victims abound out in the street,no less alarming than wars,and those &lt;br&gt;
     not in the know or did not understand that Communist China's simple electromagnetic design &lt;br&gt;
     could easily turn people against each other,create moving incidents,little lese to say mislead &lt;br&gt;
     the youth to broach down the wrong path,suicidal prompting,design and fabrication of a host &lt;br&gt;
     of society news (which Communication China refers to as movie making),as Communist China has had a &lt;br&gt;
     decade long of the technology,and has long abused its technological advantages to scheme up design &lt;br&gt;
     of abusing human lives by arranging fabricated news to poison and infiltrate the free        &lt;br&gt;
     world,manipulate and misguide the contents of the media,and deploy brainwashing and malicious &lt;br&gt;
     spread of viruses,done with insinuation and riddles.The fact that Communist China's slaughtering &lt;br&gt;
     the innocent had been the result of a high level of calculation,and a high level of rationalization,&lt;br&gt;
     where the threats are in existence,and cannot be ignored of their detrimental severity.&lt;br&gt;
12.  Communist China often coerce people to watch news compiled by the reporter Lu Yuling of the cable &lt;br&gt;
     news in order for them to be saved,but few are aware that  Communist China had merely deploy the &lt;br&gt;
     reporter to entrap many people. I do envision that those that turn to committing crime as framed &lt;br&gt;
     by Communist China,the extra sufferings by the ordinary people,and the deaths of many innocent &lt;br&gt;
     lives will not go unnoticed as hindered by a condoning attitude.&lt;br&gt;
13. Nazi Hu Jintao, Jiang Zemin, Chinese Liberation Army, security police and armed police have committed suppression and massacre on their own civilians. Hu, Jiang and the other atrocious butchers owe these innocent civilians! More horrible and serious is that they are using mysterious killing technologies to cause harms to human brains around the world, making advantage of numerous international politicians and journalists to help them commit atrocities and beautify their actions, aiming to overturn and suppress those innocent people and cover up their terrorist acts and win fame by cheating the world. Securing in the knowledge that they have strong backing, these arrogant and shameless butchers have committed tortures and mass killing cruelly to those innocent ones around the world. Unfortunately, neither these politicians and nor journalists knowing what is what would dare to express their conscience.&lt;br&gt;
14. The inhumane acts and atrocities committed by Nazi China are far more vicious than that of Nanjing massacre in China during WWII committed by Japanese army, as Chinese government is using mysterious technologies to commit massacres to masses of bare-handed civilians around the world as well as launch violence and terrorist activities to suppress these completely unarmed people’s freedom of speech. These demons, like Hu, Jinag and Chinese Liberation Army, despise the chastity, dignity and precious life of those innocent ones and suppress the emotions of their beloved. Meanwhile, relying on the condition that most of people in the world will not be able to witness their vicious acts of violence and behaviors they have committed unscrupulously and shamelessly, these Chinese Liberation Army enjoys using cruel ways to torture, massacre and trample on these innocent people, physically and mentally, in one free world. The arrogant Hu, Jiang and those jackals nurtured under such ferocious power treat themselves as the symbol of benevolence and hero, as they fail to learn their gutless and vicious acts to trample on those innocent people. If these demons, butchers and dregs of human, such as Hu, Jiang and Chinese Liberation Army who have become frenzied and conscienceless appeared in the site of Nanjing massacre in WWII, they definitely would be the leading roles to act atrocities!&lt;br&gt;
15. We don’t want to see masses of innocent people to fall victim to the hell on earth built by red China where they will be susceptible to tortures and massacres for thousands of years.&lt;br&gt;
16. Despite being even unable to fend for themselves in face of the high-tech detriments and attacks from China, we can not tolerate the fact that these politicians and journalists will become the accomplices to help China commit its terrorist acts and suppression on these innocent people in the current era or an unknown future.&lt;br&gt;
17. In view of the notorious, vicious and sinister Hu, Jiang, Chinese Liberation Army with blood-stained hands, we just cast doubt over whether these greats of knowing what is what who have negotiated with these demons will show their conscience to save these innocent civilians or will act just for the sake of their profits, or are under the control of China. In this current drowned world, how will these innocent lives be treated in face of the atrocious acts committed by these diabolical figures, or when these innocent people will witness the practice of democracy in China? Will these phenomena turn out to be the joint efforts and endeavors achieved by China and those powerful figures in the world? Are we really dedicated to overturning such adversity? Our goal is to eliminate the vicious power one day with our strenuous efforts, and we absolutely will achieve it! &lt;br&gt;
 &lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
Great blog and good sound thoughts. I do have some exceptions that are to be expected since the subject of energy and the use of it by fallible humans is very complex. In your presentation I have minor problems with the following "Can we all slow down to fifty miles an hour to save the planet? (My view --- NO --- unfortunately the majority of the population is too selfish to slow down or down size their ride because it's a personal inconvenience that they are willing to sacrifice until it is just too expensive to continue.)&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Somehow the government must facilitate these changes, because private enterprise will never do it quickly enough to save the planet from destruction. Call it national defense, because oil dependence on middle eastern countries is dangerous to us and to our economy." (My view ---- the proletariat has been too whipped up by the far right to except any government intervention. To quote the supposedly great "Raygun Ronnie" "the government isn't the answer it is the problem". &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Other than those exceptions I am in agreement with your belief that there are indeed better ways and if there is to be a future then they better damn well be explored and utilized. Sadly, I have become very cynical and have little hope that enough of the populace will sign on, and therefore the future, at best, is grim. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
I've made the statement to a lot of people that I'm damn glad I'm not a 30 something ---- I'd be too tempted to shoot myself.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Take care and keep sharing. I'll earmark your site and check it when ever I get the chance.&lt;br&gt;
Bob&lt;br&gt;

The country that most benefited from the enlightenment was Scotland who moved from a backward Kirk dominated provence to a world leader in philosophy, economics and technology.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Islam was progressive until the 16C and the reconquest of Spain after that it became despotic and reactionary. It is not Islam itself it is the fact that the muslim world have never had an elightenment period and in reaction to Europes rise have gone into their shell. Suffi Islam is relatively liberal however it has bene largly replaced by Wahabism which ws supported by teh US as a way of keeping down communism in Arabia and ensuring oil supplies.</description><comments>http://a-poke-in-the-mind.blog.co.uk/2007/05/31/when_sectarian_ideas_become_law~2368925/#c3692180</comments></item><item><title>In response to:When sectarian ideas become law</title><link>http://a-poke-in-the-mind.blog.co.uk/2007/05/31/when_sectarian_ideas_become_law~2368925/#c3674282</link><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:a-poke-in-the-mind.blog.co.uk,2007-05-31:/2007/05/31/when_sectarian_ideas_become_law~2368925/#c3674282</guid><pubDate>Thu, 31 May 2007 20:17:17 +0200</pubDate><description>UK laws were once all based on sectarian principles.  But I have always assumed that the law is a purer democrat than the state over here.  The government still has to portray Church of England 'views' (see Tony Blair's post Prime Ministerial step to Catholicism) but the legislators have removed the church's input as an authority for any laws, even divorce laws, as soon as society demanded change.  Social trends have always demanded such change, the Civil Partnership Act recently allowed homosexuals to live as if married for instance.  And the fact that the very essence of our domestic policy is based around the nuclear family - a Christian ideal - it has still done nothing to hold back the strong steps taken to equalize and empower both women and minorities in the last century.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
If America really is slipping down a spiral of sectarian control then Europe is doing the exact opposite - in an attempt to beat out every inequality that might exist as a result of political or religious view.  European legislation is a creature which it seems cannot possibly take influence from a despotic minority: its simple constitution is currently far too diverse. Despite this I can in no way foresee the new 'United States of Europe' becoming a born again superpower!</description><comments>http://a-poke-in-the-mind.blog.co.uk/2007/05/31/when_sectarian_ideas_become_law~2368925/#c3674282</comments></item><item><title>In response to:Homosexuality</title><link>http://a-poke-in-the-mind.blog.co.uk/2007/05/14/homosexuality~2265178/#c3526178</link><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:a-poke-in-the-mind.blog.co.uk,2007-05-14:/2007/05/14/homosexuality~2265178/#c3526178</guid><pubDate>Mon, 14 May 2007 02:10:57 +0200</pubDate><description>All it'll take is for someone to make a link between the testosterone not being received and some external source (pollution, global warming, under-age sex, certain medications being the usual suspects) and the religious people will have all the reason they need.

No government, elected or otherwise, is responsible for those beheadings, but if one was, we'd hold it accountable and if it was an elected regime, we might hold those who voted it in accountable as well. Now, death by torture is more barbaric than beheading.  I doubt you'd disagree in that.  I think you'd prefer a mercifully quick beheading to a long tortured death. Do you see where I'm going?  There's now a country in the world claiming to be civilized, while it tortures prisoners -- some to death.  We don't know how many, do we?  I'm more angry that my country's doing something so barbaric in my name, than I am about a small handful of men who's country was invaded and occupied do in what they consider to be self defense.  "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."  When we who are torturing prisoners to death accuse beheaders of barbarism, it sounds like the pot calling the kettle black to me.

The story, while tragic and unthinkable in our society, is simply a fact of life in their society. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Personally, I am equally appalled by the way these terrorists display the beheading of journalists, military personel and contractors, and other Americans on the internet for the world to see. These incidents, combined with the attack of 9/11, should give anyone with an ounce of understanding the ability to comprehend the reasons that we had to take the fight to the middle east. These people are intent on killing Americans for no other reason than the fact that they are Americans. They are barbaric, ruthless, and evil. They must be dealt with over there! I doubt that you or any of your readers really want to confront them in your own back yard. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
If our fathers and grandfathers had been so weak on defense, we all (at least those with blonde hair and blue eyes) would be speaking German today! Of Course, the others would be burried in mass graves in concentration camps that just might still be active. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
I would love to see the day when the nations could have their differences and still be civil to all other nations but that day will never come as long as there are lunatics running around bombing and killing people because they don't accept the teachings of their prophet. I think it's pretty obvious who the aggressor is in this war and they need to be eliminated wherever they are found.&lt;br&gt;
