your side of the cyber veil.
We have been enjoying the new place we are staying with as the ocean and moon views are exquisite and there are plenty of directions to walk to.
It's short term stay, however, as the lady who we are care taking for returns at end of summer.
Lots of areas and articles covered again this week including drug legalization, Ken Kesey film, spirituality, new artists, music videos, victories and losses for the environment, suggestions for sustainability and health, the Murdoch fall,prison hunger strike, political ups and downs, war expansions, conspiracies and quotes. As ever, my intention is to weave the stories bridging each article with the next. Most of us do not have the time to hear relevant news let alone spiritual and health related messages. By simply reading the headlines of this newsletter presentation, I would hope some interesting awareness is offered. And of course, if interested in more details, you can click the website link to the article.
Check out my updated blog images towards the bottom of links.
This week I have added the beautiful work of 4 very talented artists.
CHRIS JORDAN, GIL BRUVEL, CATE RANGEL and HIKARU H MIYAKAWA.
Please have a look and I'm sure you will enjoy what you see.
As many of you know, I have been sending out this newsletter for over 7 years. I am committed to networking these articles and stay many hours a day researching. Our financial situation is very challenging as it is and the cost to keep the internet services also is a problem each month. I would like to thank the friends that have sent in donations to the service I provide. I am not asking for anyone to feel that they have to donate. My service is from the heart and it is a pleasure for me to outreach to as many people as possible. Many people write me back that they have benefited from the articles and thus the information provides a service. However, if anyone can send even a small donation to me through paypal or otherwise, my family and I would be very very appreciative.
In any case, the 'links by george" will go on.
. We have a paypal contact at gsrain@yahoo.com

STONES TO PLAY HYDE PARK FOR 50TH ANNIVERSARY?
Next year will mark the Rolling Stones’ 50th year as a band and everyone is wondering how they might celebrate. The band’s guitarist, Ronnie Wood, told the London Standard his idea – to recreate their 1969 Hyde Park concert. He said, “We’ll try to recapture the old camaraderie. I know Keith [Richards] is fully supportive, as are the rest of the boys in the stones. We’ll see what we can do as a unit. Playing Hyde Park would be fabulous.” Keep up to date at RollingStones.com to see if any official plans are released.
• TIDBIT: The band’s free concert in Hyde Park was held on July 5th, 1969, two days after the death of founding member Brian Jones. They dedicated the set to him.

QUOTES FOR THE WEEK:
We are grateful to the Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost 40 years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries.
- David Rockefeller, Bilderberg, 1991
"Everybody's worried about stopping terrorism. Well, there's a really easy way: stop participating in it." - Noam Chomsky

"It is the function of the CIA to keep the world unstable, and to propagandize and teach the American people to hate, so we will let the Establishment spend any amount of money on arms."-- John Stockwell, former CIA official and author

"Suddenly it all comes down, all at once. You see what you are, what you have done, or, more accurately, what you haven't done, (for that was all that was required of most of us: that we do nothing). You remember the occasions in which maybe if you had stood others would have stood too. You remember everything now, and your heart breaks. Too late. You are compromised beyond repair." Milton Mayer - They Thought They Were Free, The Germans, 1938-45 University of Chicago Press, 1955
"It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds" - Samuel Adams

"... the establishment can't admit [that] it is human rights violations that make ... countries attractive to business -- so history has to be fudged, including denial of our support of regimes of terror and the practices that provide favorable climates of investment, and our destabilization of democracies that [don't] meet [the] standard of service to the transnational corporation..."-- Edward S. Herman, economist, author, and US media and foreign policy critic

" ... the media in the United States effectively represents the interests of corporate America, and ... the media elite are the watchdogs of what constitutes acceptable ideological messages, the parameters of news and information content, and the general use of media resources.-- Peter Phillips, Project Censored, 1998

" He who recognizes no humanity in others, loses it in himself."-- author unknown
Carl Oglesby, former president of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), the leading national New Left organization in the 1960s, reflected on how the psychological underpinnings of taking LSD and rebelling against authority were complementary.
The acid experience is so concrete. It draws a line right across your life -- before and after LSD -- in the same way you felt that your step into radical politics drew a sharp division. People talked about that, the change you go through, how fast the change could happen on an individual level and how liberating and glorious it was. Change was seen as survival, as the strategy of health. Nothing could stand for that overall sense of going through profound changes so well as the immediate, powerful and explicit transformation that you went through when you dropped acid. In the same way, bursting through the barricades redefined you as a new person. It's not necessarily that the actual content of the LSD experience contributed to politically radical or revolutionary consciousness -- it was just that the experience shared the structural characteristics of political rebellion, and resonated those changes so that the two became independent prongs of an over-arching transcending rebellion that took in the person and the State at the same time.
quote from the book Acid Dreams
