       [center]We Want The Real Story, Not Processed Fake News
  HTML http://www.pic4ever.com/images/swear1.gif[/center]
       Mark Twain said: [quote]“If you don't read the newspaper, you're
       uninformed. If you read the newspaper, you're mis-informed.”
       [/quote]
       Anthony Gucciardi from www.Storyleak.com interviews Sayer Ji
       from www.GreenMedInfo.com about the radical shift in our
       relationship to the news. 77% of Americans, according to a
       Gallup poll, distrust the mainstream media.
       Millions of viewers like yourself, are instead choosing
       alternative news sources online, that do not feature packaged
       and synthetic, processed fake news.
       "Recently, with the March Against Monsanto, millions of people
       came out and voiced their concern publicly. The mainstream media
       was completely silent. What it was, was not so much
       dissapointing as a confirmation or a litmus test that they're
       not relevant anymore and they're slowly becoming aware of this."
       says Sayer Ji.
       www.Storyleak.com tells us there are in the US: 1,500
       newspapers, 1,100 magazines, 9,000 radio stations, 1,500 TV
       stations, 2,400 publishers -- all owned by only SIX
       corporations!
       "The truth is viral. The truth is going to spread like
       wildfire" says Gucciardi.

       [font=arial black]Agnotology [/font]
       [font=times new roman]The Making and Unmaking of Ignorance
       [/font]
       Edited by Robert N. Proctor and Londa Schiebinger
       What don't we know, and why don't we know it? What keeps
       ignorance alive, or allows it to be used as a political
       instrument? Agnotology—the study of ignorance—provides a new
       theoretical perspective to broaden traditional questions about
       "how we know" to ask: Why don't we know what we don't know?
       The essays assembled in Agnotology show that ignorance is often
       more than just an absence of knowledge; it can also be the
       outcome of cultural and political struggles. Ignorance has a
       history and a political geography, but there are also things
       people don't want you to know ("Doubt is our product" is the
       tobacco industry slogan).
       Individual chapters treat examples from the realms of
       global climate change,
       military secrecy,
       female orgasm,
       environmental denialism,
       Native American paleontology,
       theoretical archaeology,
       racial ignorance,
       and more.
       The goal of this volume is to better understand how and why
       various forms of knowing do not come to be, or have disappeared,
       or have become invisible.

       Two quotes from this book that are popular (found in several
       other books):
       [quote]
       Page 86 - IPCC's conclusion that most of the observed warming of
       the last 50 years is likely to have been due to the increase in
       greenhouse gas concentrations accurately reflects the current
       thinking of the scientific community on this issue.&#8206;
       Appears in 66 books from 1969-2008
       Page 104 - All scientific work is incomplete — whether it be
       observational or experimental. All scientific work is liable to
       be upset or modified by advancing knowledge. That does not
       confer upon us a freedom to ignore the knowledge we already
       have, or to postpone the action that it appears to demand at a
       given time.&#8206;

       UB said, [quote]agb, degraded DNA aside are you saying horses
       shouldn't be ridden, sheep shouldn't be sheared, and dogs
       shouldn't be used to round them up or find fugitives or lost
       hikers or drugs or lead blind people or just keep their owner
       physically and psychologically healthy by taking them for a walk
       and warning them the House is on fire or greeting them when they
       get home?[/quote]
       Nope. According to the Wayne study, the wolf/dog was associated
       with mankind for as much as 80 to 100 thousand years WITHOUT any
       greater DNA degradation than what happens in the wild from
       Natural Selection. That is because mankind's relationship was
       mostly empathic and provided happiness and protection to both
       man and dog. That bond will remain. No special INbreeding is
       necessary to provide that.
       But 150 years ago, we went off the deep end and started super
       specializing the dogs. That was WRONG.  It made life a lot
       easier for ranchers and hunters. It made some people a lot of
       money. So?
       In the light of today's scientific discoveries, it was
       unethical. We know that now. We should not perpetuate or
       celebrate unethical behavior just because it is profitable.
       Beyond companionship and empathy, [b]both traits present for
       thousands of years without more than the very gradual, and
       hardly measurable, normal Natural Selection degradation of the
       DNA of wolf/dogs[/b], all the other functions can be done quite
       well, or better, by robots. That is ethical. And by the way,
       many different dog MIXED breeds (because mutts are SMARTER) make
       great seeing eye dogs. Diverse DNA dogs (Mutts) can provide all
       the mutual companionship and protective loving relationships
       both these fine animals and humans crave. Kennel clubs are
       unnecessary and unethical.
       What I am saying is that we should stop creating artificial
       founder effect box canyons, that are deleterious to these
       animals. JUST BECAUSE WE CAN.

       When Darwin dreamed up his theory, several mistakes were made
       with the best of intentions (see quote above). BUT NOW, we know
       better. So NOW, we have to EAT CROW and admit that we WERE
       GRIEVOUSLY WRONG.
       It's hard for breeders to admit that. Palloy said he was sad
       because he could not find a "suitable stud" for his Dalmatian bi
       tch. He does not get it.  :emthdown:  One of the deleterious
       "founder effect" genetic box canyons is precisely the incredibly
       damaging act of using sperm from ONE "ideal" dog from a "pure"
       breed to inseminate several females of the same "breed". That is
       one of the two WORST THINGS they could do (that they STILL DO!)
       based on DARWINIAN "pure" bloodline CRAP. The other thing is
       breeding for dogs to achieve a modified phenotype in stature.
       That said, the breeds are there now.
       I certainly DO NOT recommend killing them for any reason.
       I certainly DO recommend providing them with the happiest and
       healthiest living conditions possible.
       I certainly DO NOT recommend castrating or spaying them just
       because they have genetic disorders. That too, is ASS BACKWARDS
       DARWINIAN THINKING. They should ALL be encouraged to OUTbreed
       with mutts. NO "pure" bred dog should be allowed to mate with
       the same "breed", PERIOD.
       The whole dog show IDIOCY should be eliminated.
       And for those special working breeds that love to do what they
       were bred to do, let them keep doing it!  As long as genetic
       testing indicates that no FURTHER accelerated DNA degradation is
       going on, rescue dogs and riding horses, as well as dogs for
       protection are okay. Even herding dogs like the tiny Corgi are
       okay IF we STOP all Inbreeding NOW.
  HTML http://www.pic4ever.com/images/cowboypistol.gif
       They exist. We are at fault. Let them do what they were bred to
       happily do. But let's NOT compound the error, OKAY?
  HTML http://www.pic4ever.com/images/301.gif
       I also think is high time we STOP the "pure" breed NONSENSE (see
       ENRICHED URANIUM) and started showing some respect for SCIENCE
       and GENETICS by labeling the Genetically Diverse Dogs (GDD) with
       relatively few inherited disorders as TOP DOGS
  HTML http://www.pic4ever.com/images/19.gif,
       instead of the pejorative
       "Mutt" label.
  HTML http://www.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/3-200714183312.bmp
       I won't hold my breath waiting for Palloy to sign on to that...

       This is one of six posts I will make over the next several days
       on Agnotology as excerpted from the excellent book on this topic
       that I have been perusing. The purpose is to educate you on how
       TPTB game us. Feel free to pass these posts on to any naïve
       friends or family.
  HTML http://www.pic4ever.com/images/snapoutofit.gif
       People who don't
       like the mushroom treatment need to know how little access to
       historical truth and scientifically accurate information we
       actually have in this country.  8)
  HTML http://www.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/3-180315185603.png
       IOW, for centuries, TPTB have had a HABIT of lying both
       actively and PASSIVELY (keeping information from you!). This has
       corrupted our culture and impeded scientific progress. It's
       getting WORSE, not better.
