Excerpt: "The ISCCP study shows that the proportion of high-level cloud to low cloud has been climbing." That's where most chemtrails are laid down.
 
New cloud formations blocking more sun

28 January 2006 http://NewScientist.com news service

Sunshine just isn't what it used to be. Since 2000 less sunlight has been reaching the Earth's surface, say solar physicists. But paradoxically this drop in radiation hasn't cooled our planet.

Philip Goode's team at the New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark measured the amount of sunlight reflected by the Earth's atmosphere onto the moon and back again. They found that the Earth is reflecting 3 per cent more sunlight than it did between 1985 and 2000 (Eos, vol 87, p 37).

The effect could be caused by increasing cloud cover, says Goode. Recent data from the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) shows that the total cloud cover grew in this period. But most sunlight hitting clouds bounces off and never reaches the Earth's surface, so the question troubling climate scientists is why global temperatures are still rising.

The answer may lie in a curious rearrangement of cloud cover during the past five years, says Goode. The ISCCP study shows that the proportion of high-level cloud to low cloud has been climbing. Low-lying clouds help cool the Earth by reflecting sunlight, while high clouds act predominantly as blankets, trapping heat. So although the total cover has increased, the change in the type of cover has compensated, allowing temperatures to rise, says Goode.

"This is a reminder that climate change is subtle, and what seems obvious - that less sunlight means cooling - may not be right," he says.



DHS "visits" 1,500 California banks, rifles safe deposit boxes over 12 mos.

only agents from Homeland Security (during such an event) would be in charge of opening safe deposit boxes and determining what items would be given to bank customers.
  At this point they were told that no weapons, cash, gold, or silver will be allowed to leave the bank -- only various paperwork will be given to its owners.

Robert Fisk | The Problem with Democracy
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/012806I.shtml
And now, horror of horrors, the Palestinians have elected the wrong party to power. Robert Fisk outlines the US's "democracy," citing Palestine's elections as supposed to have given their support to the friendly, pro-Western, corrupt, absolutely pro-American Fatah, which had promised to "control" them, rather than to Hamas, which said they would represent them. And, bingo, they have chosen the wrong party again.

A Declaration of the Right to the Establishment of the Bioregional Cooperative
Commonwealth of Cascadia

We, of the bioregion of Cascadia, in order to make a balanced socio-
ecological network of communities proclaim our need to establish and
maintain a bioregional commonwealth. A commonwealth that is a
cooperation of diverse and independent communities working together in
times or situations of necessity. A commonwealth system to maintain and
appropriately interact with the various commons. We, of the bioregion of
Cascadia, have a right to establishing a commonwealth that will both facilitate
and enact the all-inclusive consensual will of the democratic dialogue within
this bioregion.


Frank Olson, Dachau, and Ft. Detrick

Excerpts from link, below:
In 2002, all of the pieces fell into place. Dr. Frank
Olson, it was discovered, ran the Special Operations Division at Fort
Detrick, which, in addition to dealing with anthrax and mind control
research,
was involved in "assassinations materials research," "biological warfare
experiments in populated areas" and "terminal interrogations." Dr. Olson
did
not commit suicide due to a nervous breakdown, as the family was
originally
told, nor did he commit suicide because of a reaction to LSD, as they were
told in 1975. Dr. Olson, who was posthumously outed as a CIA agent, was
simply a man who knew too much. During an August 2002 press conference,
the family spelled it out...
A German documentary on Operation ARTICHOKE put it succinctly: "The
search for the circumstances surrounding the mysterious death of Dr. Frank
Olson begins in 1945, with the liberation of the concentration camp at
Dachau, Germany."

# Painful Deception Wed Feb 1, 2006 7:00 pm

The Films are FREE but $5 donations are accepted

PAINFUL DECEPTION Presented by Gypsy Gypsy

This film is a video version of Eric Hufschmid's book, Painful
Questions. It provides an in-depth analysis of the Twin Towers'
sctructure based on a scientific approach as well as careful
observation and simple common sense. Eric was the first person to
bring the mysterious collapse of Building 7 to the attention of the
public. Building 7 was a 47-story building near the Twin Towers that
disintegrated into dust in 7 seconds a few hours after the Towers
fell. Eric points out that the same demolition crew was hired to
clean up the rubble of the World Trade Center and the rubble of the
Oklahoma City bombing -- another cover up and inside job. Eric takes
a very close look at the Pentagon crash and points out a number of
obvious facts that make the official story fall apart.

http://www.store.yahoo.com/infowars-shop/padeanofse11.html

Before and after the film, everyone's invited to indulge in our

Kid-friendly environment, but this movie is pretty damn disturbing with some paranoid imagery.

Brazil 1985 Directed by the great genius Terry Gilliam
Written by Terry Gilliam and Tom Stoppard

Dr. Yo sez, “This is my favorite film of all time.”

First known as the animator and only American member of Monty Python, Gilliam has written and directed many astonishing films such as “12 Monkeys,” “The Fisher King,” and “Monty Python and the Holy Grail.” Gilliam’s dystopian masterpiece, “Brazil,” is a dreamlike, terrifying, and hilarious black comedy about a bureaucratic mishap in a totalitarian future society. In this sumptuously designed and photographed piece, the art direction is so excellent that it doesn’t even matter if the story or acting is worthy. And yet the film is satisfying on all levels. Co-written by the brilliant English playwright, Tom Stoppard, known for his excellent farces. If you’re a fan of Franz Kafka or George Orwell, but you have a sense of humor about it, then this is the film for you!!!


# Dick 'N Dubya: A Republican Outreach Cabaret Thurs, Fri, Sat Feb 2 - 25 8.00pm

Thurs $10-15 sliding scale; $5 student rush at door. Fri & Sat $15-22

Dubya (Amos Glick) and Dick (Ed Holmes) fresh from an extremely
successful run at The Marsh Berkeley, during which they exerted their
considerable talents to convert everyone in the audience into a card-
carrying member of the Republican Party, are ready to try their luck
in San Francisco. The show is full of singing (yes, Dubya sings),
dancing (yes, Dick dances), speeches (Dubya, much to Dick's
consternation, has decided to write his own) and a raucous press
conference where the audience asks the questions. It is rumored that
Barbara Bush is so encouraged by her son's derring-do that she is
flying out to assist him.

# San Francisco in Jell-O Friday, February 3 7-9pm
Included in the price of admission to the Exploratorium
By Artist Liz Hickok
Kick-Off Event for Reconsidered Materials
Imagine a scale model of the city rendered in the translucent primary
colors of Jell-O®. Liz Hickok's San Francisco in Jell-O® is one of
the shimmering, temporal crown jewels of the one-night-only opening
night event for Reconsidered Materials at the Exploratorium. On that
night, the whole museum will be filled with this and other
performances, films, and one-night-only artworks, that comment on the
subtler and more abstract relationships objects have with the
materials of which they're made. The exhibition Reconsidered
Materials or Although Suitcases May Seem As Though They're Made of
Stone, They Seldom Are, is on view at the Exploratorium from February
3-June 18, 2006.

# Awakening the Dreamer
Changing the Dream Symposium

Saturday, February 4, 2006, 9:30 a.m. - 5:30 p.m.

Where on Earth are we going? And what can we do about it?

These are two of the questions that lie at the heart of the Awakening the Dreamer, Changing the Dream Symposium . The Symposium explores the link between three of humanity's most critical concerns: environmental sustainability, social justice and spiritual fulfillment. Using video clips from some of the world's most respected thinkers, along with inspiring short films, leading edge information and dynamic group interactions, the Symposium allows participants to gain a new insight into the very nature of our time and the opportunity we have to shape and impact the direction of our world with our everyday choices and actions.

The aim of the Symposium is not merely to learn more about the world, but to grapple and come to grips with the very assumptions that underlie the way we ourselves see the world and our place in it, and with what each of us can do - both individually and cooperatively - to move the world in this new direction.

If you are ready to be disturbed, inspired and moved to action, if you are ready to be introduced to a thriving community of like-hearted, deeply committed cohorts who are actively engaged in awakening from and changing the dream of our modern industrial culture, we invite you to come to the next Symposium.

# Sat Feb 4 * The BERKELEY FREE MARKET is every first Saturday, and <<the idea is
to give and receive without money... bring stuff you want to give,
including your talnet: juggling, poetry, music, contact improv,
capoeira, bodywork, art, t-shirt making, freestyling, martian psychic
past-life restoration, and remodeling stuff... all that stuff that's
still cool but you don't need: clothes, toys, working electric stuff,
your old jaguar, etc. Skip the tedious garage sale, come and enjoy
giving it away... come to give and enjoy giving, and/or come to
receive and find cool stuff free and give people the joy of giving.
Three (count 'em, three) guidelines: 1) If you bring stuff, and no
one takes it, take it home with you... i.e., "leave no trace" 2) Keep
the non-money spirit of the event by not taking stuff to sell 3) If
you bring stuff, and no one takes it, take it home with you.>> FREE

THE LOST ART OF NUTRITION

A Lecture by T. Colin Campbell, PhD, Project Director of the China
Study and the Jacob Gould Schurman Professor Emeritus of Nutritional
Biochemistry at Cornell University

Many in our society, perhaps most, do not appreciate the simple fact
that we are what we eat. We pay a huge price for this
misunderstanding. Many believe that the single most important
disabling budgetary factor in our society is the rising cost of health
care, more aptly known as disease care. Central to this difficulty is
our abject misunderstanding of nutrition, what it means, how it can be
used, how we study its effects, and how national policy on its effects
on health is developed. Using conservative figures, it is easy to
argue that the leading cause of death in the U.S. is our
misunderstanding of nutrition. As a result, we rely on drugs as a
means to health instead of food as a means to health. In brief, the
present system fosters wealth for the few at the expense of health for
the many.

Dr. Campbell, with his son Tom, is the author of the recently
published book The China Study: The Most Comprehensive Study of
Nutrition Ever Conducted and the Startling Implications for Diet,
Weight Loss and Long-Term Health see
http://www.thechinastudy.com
The New York Times has recognized the study (known formally as the
China-Oxford-Cornell Diet and Health Project, a 20 year partnership
which surveyed diseases and lifestyle factors in rural China and
Taiwan) as the "Grand Prix of epidemiology." In The China Study, Dr.
Campbell details the connection between nutrition and heart disease,
diabetes, and cancer, and also its ability to reduce or reverse the
risk or effects of these deadly illnesses. For an excerpt from the
Introduction, visit
http://www.thechinastudy.com/PDFs/ChinaStudy_Excerpt.pdf

For more than 40 years, Dr. Campbell has been active in experimental
nutrition research and policy development, has authored more than 300
research papers, and has participated in many national and
international diet and health policy reports.

UNITE YOUR SEXUAL WITH SPIRIT ENERGY with Jwala
The sexual force is the light generator of the body. When it is clear, flowing and open we connect with our own feminine and masculine in JOY and the full expression of that Life force. In this evening we will experience breathing and sounding to open to this flow. We will clear and activate the Chakras in preparation for a Tantric Deeksha. This deeksha is a nondenominational energy transference where a neuro-biological process creates a shift in the brain.The joy center is stimulated.
$20 Advance, $25 At The Door

PASSION, ECSTASY, and BLISS are your BIRTHRIGHT with Jwala
Sunday, February 12 10 AM - 6 PM
In this day Jwala will share some of the most profound techniques she has learned in her 30 years of Tantra. COME remove the wounds and blocks that keep you from experiencing your sexual and life force full expression...whether these conditionings come from family dynamics or social programs once these blocks are cleared, new and more fulfilling possibilities are only a breath away,your true human potential awaits you. Some of the days techniques include: Fire Breath Energy Orgasm...this is a conscious connected breath technique that releases old stuck energy and makes way for your erotic potential. Next we will delve into a Tibetean Pulsing technique that releases wounds from the bone and often is done in dyads or group-chains lying on the floor. Lastly we will experience some of the exercises from herTantra book by running sexual energy. No explicit sex in the workshop.
$85 Advance, $100 At The Door

JWAJA is a world renowned Tantra pioneer who has taught TANTRA internationally for over 25 years in Austrailia,Germany, England, India and in 15 cities in the U.S. and Canada.

# FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: False Profit, LLC and the Hallmark Corporation Announce the Inception of a New Joint Venture:

BITTERNESS, INC. 2/10/06
http://www.false-profit.com/events/bitternessinc

Alone?... Again?

Try not to let it burn you up. Fucking manufactured postcard holiday anyway, right? Why should you let hallmark decide the one day of the year you need to have a date? Fuck Hallmark! Fuck Valentine's Day!

Woah there, cowboy. Times like these we need some outside help. Some words of wisdom. A call to tolerance, maybe.

"Hatred ever kills, love never dies."
- Gandhi

"Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it.
Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it.
Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it."
- Martin Luther King, Jr.

Of course, neither Gandhi nor the Reverend Doctor ever had to push through a Valentine's Day without any nookie. They were also both extremely bad dancers. So, for our inspiration we turn to a lesser known but equally righteous quixotic quotable, Edna Millay:

"I love humanity, but I hate people."

There. That's more like it. Edna's our kinda girl. She definitely got down and got around in her day. Fuck, there's a book about her and her friends called "All-Night Party!" And what parties they were: "one might see English Rothschilds, French princesses, Russian grand dukes, mobsters, prizefighters, men of the stock exchange and Manhattan's social elite, elegant homosexuals, Village bohemians, white movie celebrities, and smartly dressed employees of the U.S. Post Office."

Make False Profit your Valentine for a celebration of the holiday that the American Corporation put on the map.
