by Anastassia Makarieva Cari colleghi, Vorrei fornire una prospettiva diversa con una citazione dal nostro articolo “Parametri ecologici chiave della vita immobile rispetto alla vita locomotiva”: “Secondo le prove paleontologiche, una caratteristica intrinseca della comunità ecologica della steppa dei mammut era la sua instabilità spaziale e temporale [42]. Successivamente la megafauna della steppa dei mammut subì ripetute estinzioni regionali che ha recuperato a scapito delle migrazioni da lontani rifugi. … Tale dinamica spaziale e temporale è coerente con l’affermazione che, a causa del suo potente impatto destabilizzante sull’ambiente e sul clima regionale, la megafauna ha sconvolto le condizioni favorevoli alla sua stessa esistenza. Successivamente la megafauna si è estinta e ha potuto ricolonizzare lo stesso territorio solo dopo che l’ecosistema si è ripreso nel corso della successione in assenza della megafauna....

by Anastassia Makarieva Dear colleagues,Let me provide a different perspective with a quote from our paper "Key ecological parameters of immotile versus locomotive life": "According to the paleontological evidence, an inherent feature of the ecological community of the mammoth steppe was its spatial and temporal instability [42]. The megafauna of the mammoth steppe underwent repeated regional extinctions after which it recovered at the expense of migrations from distant refugia. ... Such spatial and temporal dynamics is consistent with the proposition that due to its powerful destabilizing impact on the regional environment and climate the megafauna disrupted conditions favorable for its own existence. Then the megafauna got extinct and could re-colonize the same territory only after the ecosystem has recovered in the course of succession in the megafauna’s absence. Despite the paucity and incompleteness of the data...

A Transluminal Energy Quantum Model Of The Cosmic Quantum

Richard Gauthier Santa Rosa Junior College, 1501 Mendocino Ave., Santa Rosa CA 95401, U.S.A. E-mail: richgauthier@gmail.com www.superluminalquantum.org   An internally transluminal model of the hypothesized unique cosmic quantum of the very early universe is proposed. It consists of a closed-loop photon model, which has the total mass-energy of the atomic matter and dark matter of our observable universe that will develop from it. The closed-loop photon model is composed of a rapidly circulating point-like transluminal energy quantum (TEQ). This TEQ circulates in a closed helical path with a maximum speed of c and a minimum speed of around the photon model’s one-wavelength closed circular axis. The transluminal energy quantum model of the cosmic quantum is a boson. The cosmic quantum Model may help shed some light on several fundamental issues in cosmology, such as the nature of the cosmic quantum, the predominance of matter over antimatter in our universe, the possible particles of...

Matter is an Energy Container Composed of Microvita

Richard Gauthier Santa Rosa Junior College Santa Rosa, California Article · July 2016   Abstract In “Microvita and Cosmology” P. R. Sarkar proposed that matter is the container of energy and not energy itself. The present author proposes that the material containers of energy are composed of microvita—sub-atomic living entities proposed by Sarkar that give form to energy and create matter and minds. These hypotheses may shed new light on the relationship of matter to energy, and may lead to the discovery of a new formative force of nature—microvita. Key words: cosmology, energy, matter, form, life, mind, consciousness, microvita Introduction Eastern introversial philosophy has traditionally focused on the experiential understanding of mind and consciousness. Western extroversial science has focused on the observational and experimental understanding of matter and energy and their various expressions. Now there is a new hypothesis about matter and energy that may bring together...

Predictions & Revolutions: A Conversation with Ravi Batra

 Predictions & Revolutions: a Conversation about Electronics & Economics with Ravi Batra  Apek Mulay, CEO, Mulay's Consultancy Services 12/28/2016

Dr. Ravi Batra, a professor of economics at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, has made a great career from his uncanny forecasts. He started making predictions in 1978 when he wrote a book called The Downfall of Capitalism and Communism, which predicted the fall of Soviet Communism by the end of the century, and the demise of monopoly capitalism around 2010.

No one took the book seriously until the Berlin Wall fell in 1989 and the Soviet Union collapsed soon thereafter. So stunning and swift was the fall of the Russian empire that Italy awarded Dr. Batra a medal of the Italian Senate for his accurate prediction. He updated his book in 2006 in another work titled The New Golden Age: The Coming Revolution in Political Corruption and Economic Chaos. Forecasts he made in this book were as breathtaking at those in his earlier work....

Humans may speak a universal language, say scientists 

 humans may speak a universal language, say scientists  Sarah Knapton, TELEGRAPH science editor 12 SEPTEMBER 2016 • 8:00PM

Humans across the globe may be actually speaking the same language after scientists found that the sounds used to make the words of common objects and ideas are strikingly similar.

The discovery challenges the fundamental principles of linguistics, which state that languages grow up independently of each other, with no intrinsic meaning in the noises which form words. But research which looked into several thousand languages showed that for basic concepts, such as body parts, family relationships or aspects of the natural world, there are common sounds - as if concepts that are important to the human experience somehow trigger universal verbalisations. "These sound symbolic patterns show up again and again across the world, independent of the geographical dispersal of humans and independent of language lineage," said Dr Morten Christiansen, professor of...

Impending Global Financial Collapse, Will Change the World Order

Crying Wolf? Impending Global Financial Collapse Will Change the World Order By Bill Holter Global Research, June 25, 2015 Url of this article: http://www.globalresearch.ca/crying-wolf-impending-global-financial-collapse-will-change-the-world-order/5458032 Worse than any disease or even leprosy, anyone spouting Austrian economics or even “common sense” (almost extinct today) has been shoved into the outcast corner by the mass delusional majority. Over the last few years, “theory after theory” has become fact after FACT afterFACT! There can no longer be any question, conspiracy to delude and defraud has run rampant and is a day to day operation in the Western world. Originally my thought was to write this piece about and around the perfect response, “but you do agree the government is bankrupt, right?“. I say this because almost anyone (in the U.S.), no matter what age, sex, religion, race or financial status will generally agree with this. For those who don’t agree, it is better...

Smith Film by Bertram Verhaag and Denkmal Films. 60 minutes, Plus 30 minute bonus documentary: Monster Salmon. "One question means one career." This was the harsh warning of UC Berkeley Professor Ignacio Chapela for those daring to conduct independent research on genetically engineered foods and crops. "You ask one question, you get the answer and you might or might not be able to publish it; but that is the end of your career." Both he and biologist Arpad Pusztai dared to asked questions and do the research. And then all hell broke lose. Using stunning visuals filmed on three continents, veteran German filmmaker Bertram Verhaag tracks the fate of these two scientists at the hands of a multi-billion dollar industry that is desperate to hide the dangers of their genetically modified organisms (GMOs).

2015: “Year of the Militaristic Neocons”

2015: “Year of the Militaristic Neocons”: Looming Global Financial Crisis and Wars? By Prof Rodrigue Tremblay Global Research, December 31, 2014

“The dangerous patriot: The one who drifts into chauvinism and exhibits blind enthusiasm for military actions. He is a defender of militarism and its ideals of war and glory. Chauvinism is a proud and bellicose form of patriotism, ... which identifies numerous enemies who can only be dealt with through military power and which equates the national honor with military victory.” - James A. Donovan (1916-1970), American lawyer and Commander in the United States Navy Reserve

  “Where you have a concentration of power in a few hands, all too frequently men with the mentality of gangsters get control.” -Lord Acton (1834-1902) (John E. Dalberg), English Catholic historian, politician, and writer “If you want war, nourish a doctrine. Doctrines are the most frightful tyrants to which men ever are subject… ” - William Graham Sumner (1840-1910),...

By Dr. Dhruba Hojai Today, the 14th November 2014, is World Diabetes Day as in previous years. The World Health Organisation reported that non communicable diseases, viz., diabetes, cardiovascular diseases (hypertension, atherosclerosis and cardiac/cerebral strokes), cancer, etc. account for more than 60% of deaths in India at present. The non-communicable diseases are related to stress. Although some main forms of cancer are directly related to the use of tobacco in both smoking and non smoking forms, they are also indirectly related to stress. “Stress = diabetes” Stress causes our bodies to release stress...

A New Theory of Unemployment

A new theory of unemployment: globalization and the wage-productivity gapThe economist Ravi Batra proposes, in this article, a new approach to the theory of unemployment, recession and economic depression. His idea is that the increase of the difference between wages and corporate profits, is a major cause of the recession and the economic depression because, he says, what's does not go to wages goes to profits, triggering a chain of speculative investments. And that appened in 1929 and again in 2007 causing the Great Recession.A deep recession started in 2007 in the United States and quickly spread abroad. Keynesian policies were followed, sharply raising money supply and budget deficits all over the world. But even five years later, the globe suffered from high unemployment. This paper offers a new theory, and argues that joblessness occurs when a wage gap develops in that labor productivity rises faster than the real wage. This occurred in the 1920s that were followed by a...

The Global Financial Crisis: What Caused it, Where it is heading?

Ravi Batra, an Indian-born economist from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, author of many books of a socio-economic nature such as the best-seller "The Great Depression of 1990", proposes an analysis of the financial crack of 2008 and the solutions for not having any in the future. Some people talk about Ravi Batra as a Cassandra who always forecasts the worst... but unfortunately, he often gets it right.

Prof. Ravi Batra and his publications

Two thousand eight was year extraordinaire. It started off in a rather nonchalant way, but ended with a bang. Its myriad and breathtaking events caught the world off guard, but please allow me to say, arrogant as it sounds, that they did not surprise me, including the epoch-making victory of Barack Obama in the US presidential election. I had anticipated them all in two books more than two years ago. The first, Greenspan’s Fraud, was written in 2005, and the second, The New Golden Age: The Coming Revolution against Political...

Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar: Beacon of Hope for Suffering Humanity

Book Description

The book constitutes a brief introduction to the economic paradigm called PROUT, an acronym for Progressive Utilization Theory, as well as a brief introduction to its founder, Shrii Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar (1921-1990). PROUT is considered by the author to be a solution to 80 percent of human suffering, as that suffering is caused primariliy by faulty economic structures wherein there is economic centralization, i.e., where economic power rests in the hands of a few wealthy elite, be they corporate CEOs or party bureacrats. In contrast, PROUT advocates for economic decentralization, where economic power rests with the local people, where each community, village and town controls its own local economy, where maximum emphasis is placed on developing local, ecologically and economically sustainable communities having their own ample water supplies, growing their own agricultural produce, developing their own agri- and agrico-industries, and with resulting revenue...

Wife Abuse: Breaking It Down and Breaking Out

In 2001 four women were murdered daily in the United States by their spouses. Nearly a decade later there has been a sharp rise in family violence, with women as the primary target. It is evidenced by more than double the calls to hotlines, hospital emergency rooms and crisis shelters overflowing with victims.

Walk-ins are up 240 percent in 2009 compared to 2008, while the number of women and children staying in shelters has increased by more than 70 percent.

Invariably, when poverty rises, domestic violence and specifically wife abuse also rises. Even in so-called civilized nations such as the United States, millions of wives are beaten and raped by their spouses.

Hardly discussed is the psychological torture meted out to women around the world by narcissistic husbands. To get free of the trap of wife abuse, we need to break it down, analyze it and confront it, so as to understand that it begins in the mind - first of the perpetrator, then of the victim.

We can pass laws,...

The Gujarat Genocide

About the Book

In February 2002, Hindu fundamentalists carried out a genocidal ethnic cleansing of Muslims in the state of Gujarat, India. The genocide was conducted in a pre-planned collusion with the police and the BJP state government of Chief Minister Narendra Modi.  Between 2,000 and 5,000 Muslims were slaughtered, and more than 150,000 rendered homeless and destitute. Human rights investigators, despite having visited Kosovo and Afghanistan, were unprepared for the horrors they found in Gujarat. To date, the victims have seen no real justice, and the perpetrators continue to boast of Gujarat as a laboratory for the rest of India. With passion and hope, this book documents the Nazi, fascist origins of Hindu fundamentalism; the ongoing propagation of hatred towards Muslims and Christians in the educational system; the continuing economic boycott of Muslims in Gujarat; the legal grounds for prosecuting the BJP leaders for genocide; and the campaign of horrifically violent rape...
