Plants Exhibit The Same Senses As Humans And See, Touch, Smell, Hear and Even Taste

Fernando Kaskais

Have you ever wondered what the grass under your feet feels, what an apple tree smells, or a marigold sees? Plants stimulate our senses constantly, but most of us never consider them as sensory beings too. In fact senses are extremely important to plants. Whatever life throws at them, they remain rooted to the spot – they cannot migrate in search of food, escape a swarm of locusts or find shelter from a storm. To grow and survive in unpredictable conditions, plants need to sense their environment and react accordingly. Some people may not be comfortable describing what plants do … Continue reading Plants Exhibit The Same Senses As Humans And See, Touch, Smell, Hear and Even Taste

Where your full Irish really comes from

Fernando Kaskais

There is little clarity about the origin of so-called Irish pigmeat – labels such as ‘produced in Ireland’ and ‘traditional Irish sausage’ are no guarantee that the meat is Irish It ’s a topic that can be as hot as politics or religion. What is an Irish breakfast? Does it involve beans or mushrooms? Are you an egg man or woman? Do you grill or fry? For Kanturk butcher Tim McCarthy, it has to be black and white pudding, two rashers, two sausages and batch toast. One thing is clear: pieces of hot salty pig are at the heart of … Continue reading Where your full Irish really comes from

Fernando Kaskais

Super-Typhoon Haiyan slammed into the eastern Philippines as the strongest tropical cyclone of the year, and today, Nov. 8, is exiting the country and moving into the South China Sea.

How China Can Cause The Death Of The Dollar And The Entire U.S. Financial System

Fernando Kaskais

The death of the dollar is coming, and it will probably be China that pulls the trigger. What you are about to read is understood by only a very small fraction of all Americans. Right now, the U.S. dollar is the de facto reserve currency of the planet. Most global trade is conducted in U.S. dollars, and almost all oil is sold for U.S. dollars. More than 60 percent of all global foreign exchange reserves are held in U.S. dollars, and far more U.S. dollars are actually used outside of the United States than inside of it. As will be … Continue reading How China Can Cause The Death Of The Dollar And The Entire U.S. Financial System

Bloomberg giving NYPD bodyguards jobs to ‘keep their mouths shut’

Fernando Kaskais

He’s buying their silence. Mayor Bloomberg is taking his most trusted NYPD bodyguards with him to the private sector next year — to ensure they don’t spill any of his secrets, law-enforcement sources told The Post. “He wants them to go with him because they’ve been with him so long and know him personally,” one source said. “So, he gives them plum jobs to keep their mouths shut.” The move means the cops will all hit the jackpot — pocketing cushy pensions and new “six-figure salaries” to keep serving the outgoing mayor, whose eponymous business-media empire has made him the … Continue reading Bloomberg giving NYPD bodyguards jobs to ‘keep their mouths shut’

The US Uses Cancer as a Weapon

Fernando Kaskais

Radioactive Warfare in Iraq and the Balkans At the close of the first Gulf War, Saddam Hussein was denounced as a ferocious villain for ordering his retreating troops to destroy Kuwaiti oil fields, clotting the air with poisonous clouds of black smoke and saturating the ground with swamps of crude. It was justly called an environmental war crime. But months of bombing of Iraq by US and British planes and cruise missiles has left behind an even more deadly and insidious legacy: tons of shell casings, bullets and bomb fragments laced with depleted uranium. In all, the US hit Iraqi … Continue reading The US Uses Cancer as a Weapon

Albania has become Europe’s main marijuana supplier

Fernando Kaskais

Every morning, thousands of women, men and children climb a steep road towards an Albanian village almost veiled in white smoke, hoping to get seasonal work in the surrounding fields. Young and old, from all over the country, they meet shortly after sunrise at the entrance to this mountain-side village, its thick air filled with a stuffy pungent smell. Welcome to Lazarat, a notorious fiefdom of cannabis production in southern Albania. International police officials say Albania has become Europe’s main marijuana supplier, much of it coming from Lazarat — whose 2,000 inhabitants, with help from seasonal workers, produce about 900 … Continue reading Albania has become Europe’s main marijuana supplier

Did Israel Kill Arafat?

Fernando Kaskais

On November 11, 2004, Arafat died in a Paris hospital. He was 75. He was hospitalized for an undiagnosed illness. After developing, it worsened. He deteriorated badly. He needed special care. On November 3, he slipped into a coma. Days later he died. Previous articles discussed his death. It wasn’t accidental. It wasn’t natural. Credible evidence points to assassination. Israel wanted him eliminated. He became more liability than asset. His former aide, Hani al-Hassan, said he personally witnessed 13 attempts on his life. Arafat said he survived 40 attempts. In 1985, he narrowly escaped an Israeli air attack on his … Continue reading Did Israel Kill Arafat?

U.S., Israel lose voting rights at UNESCO over Palestine row

Fernando Kaskais

Source: Reuters NESCO has suspended the voting rights of the United States and Israel, two years after both countries stopped paying dues to the U.N.’s cultural arm in protest over its granting full membership to the Palestinians. The U.S. decision to cancel its funding in October 2011 was blamed on U.S. laws that prohibit funding to any U.N. agency that implies recognition of the Palestinians’ demands for their own state. Israel also pulled its funding, objecting to what it called unilateral attempts by the Palestinians to gain recognition of statehood. Both countries missed a 1100 GMT Friday deadline to provide … Continue reading U.S., Israel lose voting rights at UNESCO over Palestine row

Big Brother’s Loyal Sister: How Dianne Feinstein Is Betraying Civil Liberties

Fernando Kaskais

Source: Norman Solomon’s Blog Ever since the first big revelations about the National Security Agency five months ago, Dianne Feinstein has been in overdrive to defend the surveillance state. As chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, she generates an abundance of fog, weasel words, anti-whistleblower slander and bogus notions of reform — while methodically stabbing civil liberties in the back. Feinstein’s powerful service to Big Brother, reaching new heights in recent months, is just getting started. She’s hard at work to muddy all the waters of public discourse she can — striving to protect the NSA from real legislative remedies … Continue reading Big Brother’s Loyal Sister: How Dianne Feinstein Is Betraying Civil Liberties
