The Wonders of the Cetacean Brain

Essay by Captain Paul Watson: "What a piece of work is man! How noble in reason! How infinite in faculty! In form and moving how express and admirable! In action how like an angel! In apprehension how like a god! The beauty of the world! The paragon of animals!" - William Shakespeare, Hamlet The human species may not be the paragon of animals as Hamlet so eloquently described to us. There is another group of species on this Earth perhaps more deserving of such lofty praise. It is ironic that science, in its pursuit of knowledge, may soon lead us to understand that we are not what we believe or desire ourselves to be, that we are not the most knowledgeable life-form on the planet. Biological science is provoking us to shatter our image of human superiority. Confronted with new realities, we may be forced to change our perceptions. For the first time in our history, a small group of scientists stands on the threshold of communicating with a non-human intelligence. Probing the oceans instead of deep space, they are searching for an alternative terrestrial intelligence. (ATI)" (Read Entire Caption Here...)

My Commentary: Something to ponder…

Who Pays the Pro-War Pundits? Conflicts of Interest Exposed for TV Guests Backing Military Action:

New report finds many talking heads who have been fanning the flames of war in the news media have ties to Pentagon contractors. Reporting for The Nation, Lee Fang details how television analysts including retired generals Jack Keane and Anthony Zinni and former Department of Homeland Security official Frances Townsend have appeared on television recently, but their ties to military contractors were not disclosed. Fang writes many of these commentators “have skin in the game as paid directors and advisers to some of the largest military contractors in the world.” Keane, for example, is a special adviser to Academi, the contractor formerly known as Blackwater, and a board member to military manufacturer General Dynamics. He is also a “venture partner” to SCP Partners, an investment firm that works with defense contractors.

When will Americans finally understand the threat of the military-industrial-complex? Even former-president Eisenhower warned all about this in his farewell address to the nation!

Are You a Man Looking to Legally Beat Women? Become a Cop!

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “The Anti-Media,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

“If Ray Rice didn’t want to lose his job for beating women, he should have become a cop.”

My Commentary: Yup…

Behold! “Science” as a Religion!

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following information here, being shared by my friend, Goff J-Crush P, and originally posted it to my own wall…

#BlackHerstory: In the 19th century, the father of modern gynecology, J. Marion Sims, conducted his research experiments on enslaved Black women. Sims performed the invasive and torturous procedures without anesthesia. J. Marion Sims’ justification for choosing not to anesthetize his test subjects was that he did not believe Black women felt pain at all. In an 1857 lecture, he stated that it was “not painful enough to justify the trouble.”

My Commentary: Behold! “Science” as a religion!

Individuals must finally recognize the fact that no school of thought or ideology is immune to corruption! The destruction that overzealous control-freaks and power-hungry tyrants can wreak on a sleep-walking humanity “is as boundless as the dark” they operate in when they commit their crimes against nature!

Human sacrifice in the pursuit of knowledge has taken place so many more times in the field of medicine than most “science-lovers” would ever dare admit to… that is, if they’ve even bothered looking into the topic! They simply cannot admit that science is merely *knowledge,* alone – not wisdom, not understanding, and most DEFINITELY not morality! And, this represents just ONE of the many reasons that science is NOT EVEN CLOSE to being a single line of forward-moving progress towards “truth,” as many of those Individuals raised up on State education have been led to believe. Science is much better understood as a living tree of DATA, networked in a jumbled, overlapping, bush of branches – with many thriving in the light, while some mold in the ground, wither in the shade, and rot from pestilence. Such a system is in need of constant trimming using the “scientific method,” and shall forever remain rife with conflicting theories and viewpoints that will often take more than a century for humanity to resolve, if never!

Among some of the other reasons that science cannot accurately be viewed as a straight-line path to “truth”:

– Nothing in science is absolute, only more and more highly probable

– Science is a tool “only as good” as those human beings utilizing it

– Science can involve very complex topics, fields, ideas, equations, etc., beyond the grasp of the “layman,” making it especially susceptible to fallacious “appeals to authority” – especially from those unable to fully appreciate the scientific method.

– Science often receives large-scale funding, usually for large-scale projects, making it highly vulnerable to rotten-minded political agendas (i.e. the American government’s genocidal eugenic sterilization program, the Nazi government’s genocidal eugenic murder program, the U.S. Public Health Service’s Tuskegee Syphilis Experiments, the American Government’s Guatemala Syphilis Experiments, Pavlov’s Conditioning Experiments on children, an entire racist branch of science called “Craniology,” early psychiatrists diagnosing runaway “slaves” with “Drapetomia,” psychiatrists in the USSR diagnosing political dissidents with “Sluggish Schizophrenia,” torturous homosexual “Aversion Therapy” in South Africa’s Apartheid-era military, the CIA’s Project MK-Ultra + Project Bluebird + Project Artichoke, etc, etc, etc… These are just a few of the more well-known historical examples exposed throughout the years…) (Click Here to Continue Reading This Post)
