Jennifer López urges Latino community to watch her new movie

by the El Reportero’s news services

Jennifer López says The Boy Next Door was her first micro-budget movie filmed within 23 days for four million dollars, and that a bigger studio would not have cast two Latino leads.
According to López, The Boy Next Door appeals to all.
“It’s a mainstream movie, it’s not ‘a Latino movie,’ but the truth is, as a producer, I’m very proud because in retrospect, I just picked the best actor for the role,” the mother of two said. “But at the end of the day, if a big studio made this movie, I don’t know that they would’ve cast the both of us in this because of that.”
The star hopes that the film will do well with “two Latinos opening in a mainstream movie,” which would “change things.”
“I would love for the Latino community to come out and support this movie because it would give us the freedom,” López said.
The “American Idol” judge plays alongside Latino actor Ryan Guzman, who is a star of the “Step Up” franchise.
Lopez went on to say how she related to the character in the film who is an older woman that went after a younger man.The film will be released tomorrow in USA and taken to Latin America on March 19.
“It seemed so perfect for me right now in my life,” the 45-year-old pop star said. “[Claire Peterson is] late 30s-early 40s .. separated about to go through a divorce, deciding, feeling like at her lowest point in her life. You know how that is, her husband’s cheated on her. She doesn’t know how to deal with it and is not feeling desirable.”

Spain launches two books on Leon-Cuba ties
The books, Entre la cruz y el huracán (Between the Cross and Hurricane) and Tres cuentos leoneses en La Habana (Three Leon’’s stories in Havana), were launched today, on occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Leon Community in Cuba.
Entre la cruz y el huracan, by Luis Enrique Ramos, a member of the Cuban Academy of Sciences, describes the life of Leon’s scientist and Jesuit Mariano Gutiérrez-Lanza, a prominent man in a meteorology who worked in the Caribbean island.
In a letter read in the activity, Ramos links Gutiérrez-Lanza’s altruistic work with that carried out today by thousands of the island’s physicians combating different diseases worldwide, and that of the scientists searching vaccines to fight cancer.
The other book, Tres cuentos leoneses en La Habana, by Alfonso García, is a recreation of the Cuban capital and the imaginary linking that city and Leon, capital of the homonimous province, in the autochthonous community of Castilla and León.
Cuban ambassador Eugenio Martínez recalled in an activity held at the Leon House in Madrid the intensive relations existing between the two countries, and the closeness of both people that have shared much history in common.

The top of the pyramid: The Rothschilds, the British Crown and the Vatican rule the world – Part 1

FROM THE EDITOR:

I found this interesting article that addresses some parts of the history that we never saw in the past or see in present history books. Due to its length, El Reportero will publish it in parts every week. Hope you enjoy it and helps you to expand your perspective in the history of out political world.  — Marvin Ramirez

PART 1 of a series

by Before It’s News

http://humansarefree.com/2014/09/the-top-of-pyramid-rothschilds-british.html
There are two operant Crowns in England, one being Queen Elizabeth II.
Although extremely wealthy, the Queen functions largely in a ceremonial capacity and serves to deflect attention away from the other Crown, who issues her marching orders through their control of the English Parliament.
This other Crown is comprised of a committee of 12 banks headed by the Bank of England (House of Rothschild). They rule the world from the 677-acre, independent sovereign state know as The City of London, or simply ‘The City.’
The City is not a part of England, just as Washington D.C., is not a part of the USA.
The City is referred to as the wealthiest square mile on earth and is presided over by a Lord Mayor who is appointed annually.
When the Queen wishes to conduct business within the City, she is met by the Lord Mayor at Temple (Templar) Bar where she requests permission to enter this private, sovereign state. She then proceeds into the City walking several paces behind the Mayor.
Her entourage may not be clothed in anything other than service uniforms.
In the nineteenth century, 90 percent of the world’s trade was carried by British ships controlled by the Crown. The other 10 percent of ships had to pay commissions to the Crown simply for the privilege of using the world’s oceans.
The Crown reaped billions in profits while operating under the protection of the British armed forces. This was not British commerce or British wealth, but the Crown’s commerce and the Crown’s wealth.
As of 1850, author Frederic Morton estimated the Rothschild fortune to be in excess of $10 billion (today, the combined wealth of the banking dynasties is estimated at around $500 trillion).
Today, the bonded indebtedness of the world is held by the Crown.
The aforementioned Temple Bar is the juristic arm of the Crown and holds an exclusive monopoly on global legal fraud through their Bar Association franchises. The Temple Bar is comprised of four Inns of Court.
They are: the Middle Temple, Inner Temple, Lincoln’s Inn and Gray’s Inn. The entry point to these closed secret societies is only to be found when one is called to their Bar.
The Bar attorneys in the United States owe their allegiance and pledge their oaths to the Crown. All Bar Associations throughout the world are signatories and franchises to the International Bar Association located at the Inns of Court of the Crown Temple.
The Inner Temple holds the legal system franchise by license that bleeds Canada and Great Britain white, while the Middle Temple has license to steal from America.
To have the Declaration of Independence recognized internationally, Middle Templar King George III agreed in the Treaty of Paris of 1783 to establish the legal Crown entity of the incorporated United States, referred to internally as the Crown Temple States (Colonies). States spelled with a capital letter ‘S,’ denotes a legal entity of the Crown.
At least five Templar Bar Attorneys under solemn oath to the Crown signed the American Declaration of Independence. This means that both parties were agents of the Crown.
There is no lawful effect when a party signs as both the first and second parties. The Declaration was simply an internal memo circulating among private members of the Crown.
Most Americans believe that they own their own land, but they have merely purchased real estate by contract. Upon fulfillment of the contract, control of the land is transferred by Warranty Deed.
The Warranty Deed is only a ‘color of title.’ Color of Title is a semblance or appearance of title, but not title in fact or in law. The Warranty Deed cannot stand against the Land Patent.
The Crown was granted Land Patents in North America by the King of England. Colonials rebelled at the usurious Crown taxes, and thus the Declaration of Independence was created to pacify the populace.
Another ruse used to hoodwink natural persons is by enfranchisement. Those cards in your wallet bearing your name spelled in all capital letters means that you have been enfranchised and have the status of a corporation.
A ‘juristic personality’ has been created, and you have entered into multi-variant agreements that place you in an equity relationship with the Crown.
These invisible contracts include birth certificates, citizenship records, employment agreements, driver’s licenses and bank accounts. It is perhaps helpful to note here that contracts do not now, nor have they ever had to be stated in writing in order to be enforceable by American judges. If it is written down, it is merely a written statement of the contract.
Tax protestors and (the coming) draft resistors trying to renounce the parts of these contracts that they now disagree with will not profit by resorting to tort law (fairness) arguments as justification. Judges will reject these lines of defense as they have no bearing on contract law jurisprudence. Tort law governs grievances where no contract law is in effect.
These private agreements/contracts that bind us will always overrule the broad general clauses of the Constitution and Bill of Rights (the Constitution being essentially a renamed enactment of English common law). The Bill of Rights is viewed by the Crown as a ‘bill of benefits,’ conferred on us by them in anticipation of reciprocity (taxes).
Protestors and resistors will also lose their cases by boasting of citizenship status. Citizenship is another equity agreement that we have with the Crown. And this is the very juristic contract that Federal judges will use to incarcerate them. In the words of former Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter, “Equity is brutal, but we are merely enforcing agreements.”
“The balance of Title 42, section 1981 of the Civil Rights Code states,” citizens shall be subject to like punishment, pains, penalties, taxes, licenses, and exactions of every kind.”
What we view as citizenship, the Crown views as a juristic enrichment instrumentality. It also should be borne in mind that even cursory circulation or commercial use of Federal Reserve Notes effects an attachment of liability for the payment of the Crown’s debt to the FED. This is measured by your taxable income.
And to facilitate future asset-stripping, the end of the 14th amendment includes a state of debt hypothecation of the United States, wherein all enfranchised persons (that’s you) can be held personally liable for the Crown’s debt.

Six unsettling facts about your food

After reading, you may look at grocery shopping in a totally different light…

Dr. Group’s article first appeared at GlobalHealingCenter.com

It’s dinnertime and you’re hungry. Following your internal cues, you decide to swing by the grocery store on your way home from work. That’s fine; after all, everyone has to eat. Nevertheless, do you really know the truth about that food you’re going to buy? If you take a closer look at the ingredients of your common foods, including staples, you may be surprised by what you find. These 7 unsettling facts about your food may make you look at grocery shopping in a totally different light.
Your food should be one of the safest, most consistent aspects of your life. It provides sustenance and satiation, and you should always be able to count on it for supporting your health and wellbeing. Unfortunately, this isn’t always the case. Many non-organic foods–including non-organic whole foods–may be dripping with untold health concerns. Here are some facts you should know about the food you may be eating.
1. Your Favorite Fish Is Probably Farmed
Global fish consumption is at such a high that natural populations have been dramatically depleted. This means much of the demand is—you guessed it—supplemented by farm-raised fish. In 2012, over 40 percent of global fish output was raised in captivity! Most shrimp production—56 percent—comes from farms in Southeast Asia and China, and 99 percent of Atlantic salmon is farmed. [1] Why is this problematic? Well, there’s the concern that you might not have known your fish was raised in captivity, but there’s also the very startling fact that many of these fish are essentially raised in very tight, perhaps dirty quarters. This makes them smaller than their wild counterparts as well as prone to injuries and illness.
2. Arsenic May Be in Your Rice
A study from the Institute for Global Food Security at Queen’s University in Belfast tested 81 different UK food products. Many of the products were food items sold specifically for babies and children. The study found that over half of the rice products exceeded limits of arsenic for children. Long-term exposure to inorganic arsenic—the kind in the products—can lead to cancer or heart disease. [3] Another study from Consumer Reports found that inorganic arsenic, which is the most toxic kind, can also get into water and soil—and thus, rice—from lead-arsenate insecticides. These were banned from the US in the 80s, but residue still lingers.
3. Moldy Feces: It May Be Covering Your Food
The Natural Resources Defense Council recently posted over 300 pages of USDA reports revealing pretty disgusting conditions at two Foster Farms plants in California. [5] These are the same factories linked to an antibiotic-resistant salmonella outbreak, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Mold growth and fecal matter on chicken carcasses were highly noted in the reports. [6] The Council also revealed over 500 violations at other national Fosters Farms. The good news is these factories have made vast improvements in the eyes of the USDA and CDC. Still, can we ever really be sure what we’re consuming, especially if the food isn’t certified organic?
4. You May be Unknowingly Consuming Antibiotics
More and more farmers are using antibiotics in animals, despite the disastrous health effects of the medicines. The FDA released a report detailing how the rate has climbed 16 percent in three years. Farmers have long used antibiotics to prevent illness. Due to the deplorable living conditions at conventional factory farms, many animals have weak immune systems and often require medicine to keep them in mediocre health. More often than not, animals given antibiotics show no signs of sickness upon administration. A 2013 policy was supposed to curb this practice, but still over 97 percent of antibiotics are given to animals and sold to farmers without a prescription.
5. Do You Buy Strawberries? You May be Consuming a Host of Pesticides
Most of us think strawberries are pretty tasty and healthy, but did you know they’re actually farmed with toxic pesticides? When you fumigate something, you put fumigants into the environment. In the case of non-organic strawberries, fumigants kill off any diseases, weeds, and pests before they become a problem. Unfortunately, following application you’re left with a toxic gas lingering in the air. To put it in perspective, California strawberries take up 1 percent of the state’s farmland but fumigants make up about 8 percent of the state’s pesticide use.

About 88 percent of the nation’s strawberries are farmed in California. [9]Perhaps even more worrisome are the health and environmental effects of fumigants, including cancer, developmental problems, and ozone depletion.
6. Fake Sweeteners Affect Your Weight and Metabolism
Research suggests that artificial sweeteners might do more harm than good, and I’m not only talking about their possible link to cancer. [10] Artificial sweeteners might affect the way your body processes sugar—something that could raise blood sugar, a possible precursor to diabetes. Because they contain no calories, these sweeteners aren’t digested but still have to make their way through the gastrointestinal tract. It’s here the sweeteners come into contact with our gut bacteria. One study found that gut bacteria can actually change in response to artificial sweeteners, and not for the better.

Hard winter for California farm workers

A crew of farm workers from Oaxaca prunes the vines that grow grapes for raisins, in a field near Madera.

by David Bacon
New America Media

SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY, Calif – October in California’s farm worker towns, the unemployment rate starts to rise as the harvests end. In Coachella, not far from the wealth of Palm Springs, one of every eight workers has no job. In Delano, where the United Farm Workers was born in the grape strike 50 years ago, it’s one of every four, as it is in other small towns of the southern San Joaquin Valley. On the coast in Santa Maria and Lompoc the rate is 13.8 and 15.5 percent respectively. In the Imperial Valley, next to the Mexican border, the unemployment rate is over 26 percent in Brawley and Calexico.
This is a reality invisible to the state’s urban dwellers. Los Angeles has a high unemployment rate for a city, but it is still less than rural towns at 8.7 percent, or one of every twelve workers. And in San Francisco and Berkeley the percent unemployed is 4.3 and 5.9 — less than a quarter of the rate in Delano.
Then the winter really hits. By February one of every three workers in Delano and Arvin is unemployed. In Salinas it goes from October’s one in ten to February’s one in five. Coachella is one in every six. And in Brawley, Calexico, Lompoc and Santa Maria unemployment just never goes down.
Winter is the hard time, when the money made in the summer and fall has to keep the rent paid and kids fed while nothing is coming in. With immigration papers workers can get a little unemployment insurance benefit, but with no papers workers can’t collect it — in fact, any benefit that requires a Social Security number is out of reach. Everyone in this season can use a little work, but for undocumented people especially, even a few days of work make a lot of difference.
Much of the work in the winter is cleanup. With the onset of the drought in California one farmer in a watermelon field near Merced began using drip irrigation to cut down on his water consumption. In the winter, therefore, the plastic tubes that carry water to the plants have to be collected so that leftover fruit and vines can be plowed under, and the field made ready for planting again in the spring. The tubes are only good for one season. After they’re collected a recycler is paid to dispose of them.
Drip irrigation is an important technique for organic growers because it waters only the plants growing fruit, helping to keep out weeds without using herbicides. This kind of irrigation also decreases the vulnerability of the watermelon plants to diseases that can occur with the older system of overhead sprinklers.
Organic or not, few growers and contractors here supply any protective equipment for field cleaners. Workers purchase their own cotton gloves to keep their hands from getting scratched and infected, but the thin cloth doesn’t keep out water. The field is full of mud, and workers buy big black garbage bags, tearing holes for their head and arms. That’s some protection, but water still seeps in quickly through sleeves and pants. No one knows what chemicals might have been used here, or what’s in the water that soaks their clothes after a few hours.
Most of the workers in this field come from Sinaloa. Twenty years ago they might have gone home during the off-season, where the cost of living in their hometowns of Guasave or Los Mochis is a lot lower. They might have spent the holidays with their families, and returned when the work starts up again in the spring. Not any more, though. Going home is too expensive for workers at minimum wage, regardless of their immigration status. And those with no papers are held virtual prisoner in the U.S. by the combination of economics and immigration policy.
Taking inflation into account, wages have been falling in California fields for two decades. Today a bus ticket home, or gas for the car, costs at least a week and a half of full time work at the minimum wage of $9 an hour. For those who don’t have papers, going home is virtually impossible. Just the cost of a coyote to take a returning worker through the desert and across the border is at least $2000. At $9/hour that’s more than a solid month of full time work.
And many people don’t make it. The cemetery in Holtville in the Imperial Valley holds the remains of hundreds who die on the border journey every year, many of whom are found in the desert with no identification, and buried with no name.
So in the west San Joaquin Valley town of Gustine, the trailer parks are full in the winter. The town is evenly divided between residents descended from the Portuguese immigrants who arrived two or three generations ago, and more recent arrivals, mostly from Moyahua in Zacatecas, even further from California than Sinaloa.
Some people get jobs pruning grapevines and cleaning almond orchards, two of the few relatively dependable sources of winter work. But unemployment hits hard here too. The town was once a center of the dairy industry, supplying milk and cheese to nearby cities. The dairy industry has grown elsewhere in the San Joaquin Valley, but Gustine’s cheese plants closed one after another over the last two decades. Its original cheese factory, the New Era Creamery, was built in 1907 when the railroad line was extended down the valley’s west side. New Era closed in 2005, just short of a century in operation. Last year what remained of the structure burned down, leaving residents with even fewer alternatives to labor in the fields.
In the winter, even that labor is hard to find.

Wealth inequality, social alienation & political grievances threaten to spark domestic turmoil

Why the elite are buying secret hideaways

by Paul Joseph Watson

This week’s revelation that the wealthy are purchasing secret hideaways in remote locations in order to escape social upheaval and possible riots is the culmination of Zbigniew Brzezinski’s warning that a worldwide “political awakening” is serving to derail the move towards further global centralization of power.
Economist Robert Johnson made headlines at the recent Davos Economic Forum when he revealed that “hedge fund managers all over the world….are buying airstrips and farms in places like New Zealand because they think they need a getaway.”
Johnson cited income inequality and the potential for civil unrest and riots as the reason for the panic.
“A lot of wealthy and powerful people are quite afraid right now – they see us on an unstable trajectory,” said Johnson. “As the system doesn’t have proper resources, as it doesn’t represent people, things are getting more and more dangerous as say Ferguson, Missouri brings to bear.”
However, Johnson’s warning is nothing new – the super rich have been busy securing property in safe heavens for at least five years in anticipation of the next financial collapse.
In 2010, John Malone, billionaire chairman of Liberty Media, announced that he had bought a retreat on the Quebec border as an insurance policy to “have a place to go if things blow up here,” adding that he was concerned about the survival of the dollar and whether or not “America (was) going to make it” through the economic crisis.
In 2012, Hollywood director James Cameron also announced his decision to leave America and move his entire family to a 1,067 hectare farm in New Zealand.
The Bush family also purchased 100,000 acres in Paraguay back as far back as 2006.
There are several reasons why the rich are preparing to flee, but the main factor is the rise of income inequality – a factor that Zbigniew Brzezinski blamed for the “global political awakening” that poses a direct threat to the elite’s bid to further centralize power.
“For the first time in all of human history mankind is politically awakened – that’s a total new reality – it has not been so for most of human history,” said Brzezinski during a 2010 Council on Foreign Relations speech in Montreal, adding that the development was borne out of “global inequities, inequalities, lack of respect, exploitation”.
Brzezinski made similar comments during a November 2012 speech in Poland, in which he admitted that a worldwide “resistance” movement to “external control” driven by “populist activism” is threatening to derail the move towards a new world order.
The former US National Security Advisor also noted that “persistent and highly motivated populist resistance of politically awakened and historically resentful peoples to external control has proven to be increasingly difficult to suppress.”
It is important to note that Brzezinski was not championing this development. In his 1970 book Between Two Ages: America’s Role in the Technotronic Era, the former Obama advisor heralded the arrival of a technotronic era “dominated by an elite, unrestrained by traditional values” under which citizens would be tightly controlled and manipulated.
The likelihood of widespread disenfranchisement and economic turbulence causing civil unrest has also been repeatedly invoked by economist Martin Armstrong, who correctly predicted the 1987 Black Monday crash as well as the 1998 Russian financial collapse.
“It looks more and more like a serious political uprising will erupt by 2016 once the economy turns down. That is the magic ingredient. Turn the economy down and you get civil unrest and revolution,” wrote Armstrong.
With distrust in government and leadership in the United States and other western countries continuing to remain near historic lows, the toxic cocktail of increased corruption, social alienation, and lack of community (all contributory factors to the 2011 London riots), will heighten the risk of domestic disorder.
As real wages drop it will also become increasingly harder to pacify younger generations via consumer culture. With religion, family and social mobility all declining in influence, lifestyles built around the acquisition of products will become harder to maintain as the economic environment worsens and the wealth gap widens.
Police brutality and perceived widespread injustice will also lead to more unrest in poorer areas as unfolded in Ferguson, Missouri last year.
While the move on behalf of the wealthy to purchase property in safe heavens by no means signifies a relinquishing of power, it does indicate that the super rich are readying insurance policies in the form of secret getaways in case massive political unrest leads to sustained domestic turmoil.

Mexico: Party PT considers inadmisible to close Ayotzinapa case

by the El Reportero’s wire services

In a statement issued today, the party Partido del Trabajo considered unacceptable the attempt of the Attorney General’’s Office (PGR) to close the case of the missing students of the Ayotzinapa teacher training college.
Alberto Anaya, national coordinator of the Partido del Trabajo (PT), said in the statement that “the case cannot be closed when it is not clear yet what happened or who are the real perpetrators of these acts”.
The statement asserted that it is absurd that the Mexican Government insist on leaving behind the matter as if nothing had happened, covering up impunity and corruption of the responsible institutions.
Anaya, who is also a congressman, warned about the increased social discontent for both, the facts of Iguala, in Guerrero state, and “everything that happens in the country where there is no security and justice does not respond as it should”.
Meanwhile, Luis Raul Gonzalez, president of the National Human Rights Commission, said yesterday that the disappearance of 43 students from the rural teacher training school of Ayotzinapa on September 26 and 27, “has not been overcome and it cannot be said that the case is closed”.
“The reports by the judges and experts requested abroad are missing, it cannot be closed, there is no conclusion and for the National Human Rights Commission the case remains open”, he said.

CELAC reaffirms support to Argentina in claim for the Falklands
The heads of State and Government of the 33 member countries of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (Celac) reaffirmed today their solidarity with Argentina in its soverteign right over the Falkland Islands, also known in Spanish as Malvinas.
In the final declaration adopted by the Third Summit of Celac, held in the city of Belen, the leaders reiterated the strongest regional support to Argentina’s legitimate rights in the dispute for the Falkland Islands, South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands and the maritime spaces surrounding them.
They also express their permanent interest that the dispute is resolved in a peaceful, negotiated way, according to the Resolution 31/49 of the UN General Assembly.
In several occasions the Argentinian government has ratified its right against the ilegitimate British colonial occupation of that part of its territory for 182 years.
The reprsentatives of the 33 member countries of Celac also supported the quest for an agreement to restructure Argentina’s sovereign debt without compromising its development policies and the people’s welbeing.
The Summit, which ended today after two days of sessions, was attended by the Latin American and Caribbean presidents, prime ministers and Foreign ministers of the 33 member countries of Celac under the slogan Building Together.

Governor Rick Perry and Chris Christie interrupted by dreamers in Steve King’s Freedom Summit event
Des Moines, Iowa- A group of undocumented youth interrupted prospective 2016 Presidential candidate and former Texas Governor, Rick Perry.  Marco Malagon, Dreamer from Texas, shouted “Governor, do you stand with King, or do you stand with us and our families? Do you think I’m deportable?” while others stood up with signs that read “DEPORTABLE?” in reference to Representative Steve King’s comments about an undocumented student who attended the State of the Union address as a guest of First Lady Michelle Obama. Following Perry, Christie was also interrupted by Cesar Vargas, Dreamer from New York. Two dreamers were arrested.
For years, Congressman Steve King has been one of the most vocal GOP voices against Dreamers, the undocumented community and has been on the record using derogatory language against Dreamers.

Guatemala will debut in this section with “Ixacanul”, which the debut feature of Jayro Bustamente.
The latest Latin American film to win a Golden Bear (the most prestigious award given at the Festival) was La teta asustada, by Claudia Llosa of Peru, in 2009, and four years later Sebastián Lelio film, Gloria, gave actress Paulina García the Silver Bear.
The films in competition at the 65th edition include Knight of coups, by Terrence Malick, and Eisenstein in Guanajuato, a film shot in Mexico by Peter Greenaway.
Meanwhile, Andreas Dresen, a regular participant at the festival, will represent Germany with Als wir tr umen, and Sebastian Schiper will do so with Victoria.
Filmmakers from Iran, France, Japan, Vietnam and China will complete the selection of this event that will feature attractive stars of the big screen such as Christian Bale, Natalie Portman, and Cate Blanchett.

UNESCO denounces trafficking of cultural items in Guatemala

During an official visit to Guatemala concluding today, Irina Bokova, director general of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), described the trafficking of cultural items as a crime.
“We see a very negative trend in the world. We see that organized crime, which deals with arms, drug and human trafficking, is also involved in the illicit trafficking of cultural items”, said Bokova during a tour across Antigua Guatemala, 40 kilometers southwest of the capital city.
Bokova, held a meeting yesterday in the aforementioned colonial city with Dwight Pezzarossi, Minister of Culture and Sports, and Rosa Maria Chan, Deputy Minister of Cultural and Natural Heritage of that ministry.
During the meeting Chan told Bokova the details about the robbery in last February of six paintings of the 18th century from the church El Calvario, located in Antigua Guatemala.
In this regard, Bokova said that cooperation with Guatemala will continue, to strengthen the work of institutions and help to eliminate the illicit trafficking of cultural items.

Mind control: the attempt to control life

by Jon Rappoport
NoMoreFakeNews.com

“The targets of modern mind control are always described in terms of medical treatment, alleviation of suffering, and healing. What else would you expect? A stark mission statement about population control and intentional shrinking of brain function? No, this op inevitably falls under ‘greatest good for the greatest number’. The promoted premise is: less effort, less pain, more happiness. A gift given to the essentially passive human being. That formulation itself is a version of mind control. The hero and the rebel are replaced by the semi-satisfied and quiescent android.” (The Underground, Jon Rappoport)

Here’s a research project that tells you something about where mind control is going. From MIT News, “Neuroscientists reverse memories’ emotional associations,” (8/27/14):
“The findings, described in the Aug. 27 issue of Nature, demonstrated that a neuronal circuit connecting the hippocampus and the amygdala plays a critical role in associating emotion with memory. This circuit could offer a target for new drugs to help treat conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder, the researchers say.
“’In the future, one may be able to develop methods that help people to remember positive memories more strongly than negative ones,’ says Susumu Tonegawa, the Picower Professor of Biology and Neuroscience, director of the RIKEN-MIT Center for Neural Circuit Genetics at MIT’s Picower Institute for Learning and Memory, and senior author of the paper.”
Translation: blot out emotions connected with memories.
Tinker with memory, re-program neurons, change brain chemistry…these are the hallmarks of modern efforts to condition human life.
The science is spotty, to say the least, but the effort is enormous, and the direction is clear.
If you stacked up all the social sciences, and biology and physics and chemistry, as well as psychology and psychiatry…and even if you went out to the fringes of academia, where the so-called dissidents live…you would encounter scenarios about life as programming.
Change the cell, the molecule, the atom, the family, the environment, the DNA. Initiate new blueprints, systems, patterns of organizations.
The whole basis of this exercise: we humans are passive recipients of “influences.” Therefore, alter the influences.
On the low end, you have the CIA’s mind-control program, MKULTRA. At the high end, you have something like this: “the universe is taking us to an ultimate state of consciousness, and we’re cells in the super-body of All Wisdom, which is gradually revealing its truth to us.”
Either way, humans are viewed as passive.
Passive ciphers of cause-effect, stimulus-response, input-output. No matter how basic or elegant, this is existence in which free will, choice, individual power, imagination are radically diminished.
For example: “the brain is source of consciousness.”
Consider how physics looks at the brain: it is an organ of the body, made up of the same particles that populate the rest of the universe. Nowhere, in any of those particles, is the capacity to understand meaning.
Therefore, the brain does not understand meaning.
Meaning is merely (and absurdly) a chemical/biological/electromagnetic illusion, an ongoing “readout” to which we are passively subjected.
Possessed of such demented view of life, scientists feel perfectly justified in experimenting and tinkering with, and changing, the “human machine.”
In fact, for Dr. Ewen Cameron, the most highly decorated psychiatrist in the world during the 1940s and 50s, an individual’s personality was the property of society, represented by men such as himself.
On that basis (as I’ve described in other articles), Cameron devised a method of torture called “psychic driving,” which involved administering many powerful electric shocks to his patients’ brains, coupled with intensive drugging that put them into consecutive weeks of sleep, after which he played them tapes that repeated pat phrases millions of times—all in an effort to erase their personalities and install new ones.
Cameron worked on contract to the CIA, as a researcher in its infamous MKULTRA program.
These days, the research on programming is far more subtle, but the objective is the same. The patient would not experience overt physical pain while a particular circuit in his brain is “neutralized,” but he would never function in the same way again. He would be “new.”
“Better living through programming.”

The move to depopulate planet Earth Part 7 and Last

FROM THE EDITOR:
Much has been said about a so-called ‘conspiracy theory’ about the depopulation of the planet. In this article, Stephanie R. Pasco, follows the trails of statements – going back decades -made by world leaders confirming that in fact exists a plan to depopulate the planet Earth. You be the judge, readers. Due to the length of the article, El Reportero will publish in several parts, extending to several weeks. THIS IS PART 7 AND FINAL OF A SERIES.

by Stephanie R. Pasco

It is my intention to give you clips from documents, many from the United Nations that prove there is a plan to depopulate this planet. I will also provide quotes from various people and organizations that further show this agenda is afoot. I pray the guidance of the Lord God Almighty will be with me in this pursuit to warn others of this dark plot against humanity.
Everything written in this paper is easily verifiable. It may take some time and effort, but I took great pains to make this paper as accurate as I possibly could.
The depopulation agenda is based on nature worship, or Gaia worship. In Genesis, God clearly told Adam and Eve, and then Noah and his family to go forth and multiply to fill the earth. Nowhere in the Bible does God rescind that clearly spoken commandment. Therefore man is attempting to supersede the command of the Lord God in heaven: The Creator! I ask you, who knows more about the state of the earth, the created, or the Creator?
The basis for the depopulation agenda is a standard all elitist’s hold dear. This standard is called:
The Hegelian Dialectic:
Problem – Reaction-Solution

From Esoteric Agenda, a documentary by Ben Stewart:
“In 1962 it was decreed that there would be a move toward total global implementation of Codex Alimentarius. The date set for implementation is December 31, 2009. WHO and FAO are the commissions in charge of CA. They fund it and run it at the request of the U.N.
According to WHO & FAO, epidemiological projections, it is estimated that according to the vitamin and mineral guideline alone; when CA goes into global implementation on December 31, 2009, it will result in a minimum of 3 billion deaths; 1 billion due through starvation. The next 2 billion will die from preventable diseases due to malnutrition.”
“The U.N. has put out dozens of reports calling for an 80% reduction in population (most put the number at 90%). At the 1997 Women’s World Conference in Beijing, the head of the U.N. Food Program said, “We will use food as a weapon against the people.”
In conjunction with Codex Alimentarius, food will be limited and water consumption will be decreased to 10 gallons per day, per person. The average American uses 140 gallons of water every day. The food provided will be Genetically Modified and nutrient deficient.
As of the Codex Alimentarius (CA) implementation date of 12/31/09, if there were a famine anywhere in the world, it will be illegal to send any high nutrient density biscuits. Or to distribute them!!
Once a country becomes CA compliant, CA can never be repealed. Membership with the WTO robs the member nations of any and all sovereignty. Germany is now CA compliant.
Codex Alimentarius goes hand in hand with Agenda 21 and the Kyoto Treaty. The deadline to implement both Agenda 21 and the Kyoto Treaty is 2012.” (Rima Laibow)
Agenda 21 was birthed out of the Rio Summit 1992. Agenda 21 (A 21), a.k.a. Smart Growth, Regionalism, Visioning Processes, Action Plans, Shared Values; 20/20, Best Practices; Community Festivals & Public/Private Partnerships. These are the names you will hear A 21 called, the buzzwords.
Every county must set up a council to oversee the implementation of A 21. A 21 is Sustainable Development. Steven Rockefeller set up the Earth Charter, referenced above. The Earth Charter is the new One World Religion: Earth worship. The earth is considered to be ‘sacred’, and its protection is a ‘sacred trust’. Global responsibility will demand basic changes in values, behaviors and attitudes of government, the private sector, and civil society.
Under Sustainable Development man is considered to be responsible for the pollution of the planet and is subordinate to all other living creatures. This is a direct contradiction to the Bible where God placed man in a position of dominance over the entire earth. The elite will worship and serve the creature, rather than the Creator.
“The environmental agenda is a spiritual agenda with earth worship at its root. As such, the following practices are all considered to be unsustainable: Fossil fuels, artificial fertilizers, modern systems of agricultural production, irrigation water, herbicides, pesticides, farmland, pastures, grazing of livestock, consumerism, dietary habits, salt, sugar, private property, paved roads, dams, reservoirs, logging activities, fencing of pastures”. – Joan Peros
“Every environmental resource must be measured. What can be measured can be managed under the Millenium Ecosystem Assessment Project.” – Joan Peros
Among the things considered to be unsustainable, as listed above, these are included: Monotheism and the family unit. The health care plan of President Obama is under A 21. Under this health care plan, the family unit is very much being attacked. Anyone over age 65 must undergo ‘end of life counseling’ by their doctor every 5 years. Abortion will be pushed that much harder, especially with the Science Czar wanting sterilants put into our water supply! One of the new appointee’s to the Obama Administration once said in a book he co-wrote that a child could be killed up to the age of 2 years old! What kind of a monster could think that is acceptable?
Nearly the exact language used to define Sustainable Development was taken from the 1977 Soviet Constitution!
The Family Dependency Ratio, under the United Nations, will look at every household. They will gauge what that household has produced in accordance with what it has used (i.e., resources) by the water bills, energy bills, etc. Are you using more than you are producing? Are you adding to the collective, or merely taking away? This is how the powers that be will determine whether you are a productive citizen, or, in the words of Henry Kissinger, “A useless eater”.
In 1990, Prince Charles formed The Prince of Wales Business Leaders Forum to bring together 50-60 of the world’s topmost multi-national/transnational corporations to start buying up governments around the world. This is Public/Private Partnerships: This is the very definition of fascism.
I must stop here. At the rate things are now moving, I could add to this daily. But, December 31 is not so far away now, only four months. I must get this out now. Time is short.
If you find this to be worthy, please, spread it everywhere you can. Email it, blog it, post it on forums; mail it. Do what you must. People are asleep. They must be woken up. Forced immunizations are right around the corner. These things will come to pass. It is our job to warn people. Please, I ask you, warn them.
