Fernando Kaskais

By Red Ice Creations Scientists from the Institute of Neuroscience and Psychology at the University of Glasgow have just released a study which purports to show that there are only four basic emotions: Happy, sad, afraid/surprised, and angry/disgusted. This is demonstrated by the results of their study which involved showing people computer-generated images of facial expression. The test subjects were to describe the emotions the images were portraying, which resulted in common outcomes for what was supposed to be a varied range of visible emotions.

Fernando Kaskais

By Sarah Fruchtnicht, Thu, February 06, 2014 Researchers at Tel-Aviv University radiocarbon-dated the oldest known domestic camel bones in Israel and found that they couldn’t have been around in the days of Abraham, Joseph and Jacob. Archeologists, Dr. Erez Ben-Yosef and Dr. Lidar Sapir-Hen, say the camel was introduced to the region by Egyptians around 900 BCE, but the Bible claims they were present centuries earlier in 2000 to 1500 BCE. They believe the study provides “direct proof” that the Bible was written well after the events it describes. “The introduction of the camel to our region was a very … Continue reading Carbon-Dated Camel Bones Suggest Big Error In The Bible

Fernando Kaskais

Source: Mass Private I New disclosures now allow us to see online the DEA training manuals with which Drug Enforcement Administration agents are taught to coach local police departments across the country how to lie about their chains of evidence and sources, how to willfully violate the law and cover their tracks in thousands or tens of thousands of cases every year in order to fill the cells of the US prison state with drug defendants. These materials depict an amoral, out of control police regime respecting no Constitution and no laws.

New surveillance technology can track everyone in an area for several hours at a time

Fernando Kaskais

By Craig Timberg DAYTON, Ohio — Shooter and victim were just a pair of pixels, dark specks on a gray streetscape. Hair color, bullet wounds, even the weapon were not visible in the series of pictures taken from an airplane flying two miles above. But what the images revealed — to a degree impossible just a few years ago — was location, mapped over time. Second by second, they showed a gang assembling, blocking off access points, sending the shooter to meet his target and taking flight after the body hit the pavement. When the report reached police, it included … Continue reading New surveillance technology can track everyone in an area for several hours at a time
