Giant 7 – 8 Foot Skeletons Uncovered in Ecuador sent for Scientific Testing "Strikingly tall skeletons uncovered in the Ecuador and Peru Amazon region are undergoing examination in Germany, according to a research team headed by British anthropologist Russell Dement. Will these remains prove that a race of tall people existed hundreds of years ago deep in the Amazonian rainforest?
According to a Cuenca news site, since 2013 the team has found half a dozen human skeletons dating to the early 1400s and the mid-1500s which measure between seven and eight feet (213 to 243 centimeters) in height.
Dement said,
'We are very early in our research and I am only able to provide a general overview of what we have found. I don’t want to make claims based on speculation since our work is ongoing. Because of the size of the skeletons, this has both anthropological and medical implications,” reports Cuenca Highlife'" Carbon dating has proven inaccurate often in the past. How did they date these? I don't trust that there is a true knowledge of the dates for these people. I personally think that these skeletons may be much older than suggested. Vilcabamba, Ecuador, is known for people who live healthy to very old ages. There have been supposedly many centenarians living there over time, at least compared with the rest of the world. Their health is purported to come from the waters of nearby, high-altitude lakes, waters that pass through ancient plant life that has died thousands of years ago. The waters supposedly leach out minerals from these plants that lived in a time when the earth was much healthier. http://www.pro-ecuador.com/vilcabamba-ecuador.html#sthash.rdMJzjKu.dpbshttp://www.ancient-origins.net/ancient-places-americas/secrets-vilcabamba-playground-inca-and-valley-longevity-002693 |

Considering what Russia has done in bombing Syria, any time the U.S. becomes fed up with what Mexico is doing, BOOM! There goes Mexico. All gone. |

The above^^ seems to be reasonably accurate information. The question that the above brings to mind is, If the above is true, how can there be any free will? After all, aren't free will decisions based on the reception of info from wherever, and isn't free will simply a reaction to that info? The next question is, Since there isn't any free will, because all decision making is entirely based on information and stimuli from without and within, who or what has caused the stimuli to be what it is? After all, the stimuli had something that caused it to exist, as well, right? EDIT: An even more profound question is, Since whatever caused the stimuli to exist as it does, also has caused it to bring to mind the above questions. So, why does the stimuli want us to realize that it exists to stimulate us into asking such questions as these? |

The beautiful blue-white star Vega has a special place in the hearts of many skywatchers. Come to know it, and you will see. Follow the links below to learn more.
How to see Vega
Vega in history and myth
Vega science
How to see Vega. Observers in the Northern Hemisphere can see the star Vega come into view in the northeast in mid-evening in May. Look for this star in the very early evening in June – high overhead on autumn evenings – in the northwestern quadrant of the sky on December evenings.
Vega is easily recognizable for its brilliance and blue-white color. You can also easily pick out its constellation Lyra, which is small and compact, and consists primarily of Vega and four fainter stars in the form of a parallelogram.
The little constellation Lyra has some interesting features. Near Vega is Epsilon Lyrae, the famed “double-double” star. Between the Gamma and Beta stars is the famous Ring Nebula, visible in small telescopes.
Vega is one of three stars in an asterism – or noticeable star pattern – called the Summer Triangle to the early evening sky. The other two stars in the Triangle are Deneb and Altair. You can see the Summer Triangle in the evening beginning around June, through the end of each year. Read more at http://earthsky.org/brightest-stars/vega-brilliant-blue-white-is-third-brightest-star. Did you mean somebody from the star Vega when you said "Vegan?"  |

Lets be honest gun control in the usa never gonna happen  That's why government is using chemtrails (aluminum) to kill us off.  |

The U.S. government takes its Constitution serious. Thats why they support ISIS with guns. Gun freedom - 2nd Amendment, you know. Are we going to supply ISIS with tanks and jets and other modern military armament now? |

'Cause everyone wants to be on the side of the winner, and NOT on the side of the loser, and Russia is sorely beating ISIS. Feel free to add a music link to fight the devil back! Beethoven couldn't hear the music he wrote or played on piano. He was deaf.  The only reason you should be sad is not to be able to hear what he was hearing... What was that?  |

Ben Carson claims Jewish people might have stopped Holocaust if they had guns Carson was quizzed on CNN over comments in his new book, A More Perfect Union: What We the People Can Do to Reclaim Our Constitutional Liberties, which cites Nazi Germany to argue that the right to bear arms should not be curtailed.
CNN's Wolf Blitzer asked him: "Just clarify, if there had been no gun control laws in Europe at that time, would six million Jews have been slaughtered?"
Carson replied: "I think the likelihood of Hitler being able to accomplish his goals would have been greatly diminished if the people had been armed … I'm telling you that there is a reason that these dictatorial people take the guns first."
The former neurosurgeon is currently polling in second place in the race to become the Republican presidential candidate, behind front-runner Donald Trump.
His comments risk further fuelling the outrage that greeted recent remarks on the killing of nine people last week at Umpqua Community College in Oregon. See https://www.freedomsphoenix.com/News/184548-2015-10-09-ben-carson-claims-jewish-people-might-have-stopped-holocaust-if.htm.

VIDEO: No, Donald Trump, the Mid East Wouldn't Be More Stable Under Saddam/Other DictatorsThe mistake Mr. Trump is making is to think ahistorically, that is, to think as though societies do not change dramatically over time. The Neoconservatives thought they could install a king over Iraq in 2003. But Iraqi society had overthrown the kings in 1958, and there is no going back. History may not be dialectical in exactly the Hegelian sense, but any historical situation does produce other, different situations over time. Moreover, societies can change dramatically. History is not static. It is not like a slab of marble. Historical developments produce new and different historical situations over time, and new generations react to the previous ones by striking out in different direction, even at great risk.
How anyone in his right mind could think that Bashar al-Assad (r. 2000- present) brought stability to Syria just baffles me. He provoked the 2011 uprisings and he caused the civil war by deploying his military against the peaceful demonstrators. That's stability? It is mostly his fault that over 200,000 Syrians are dead and 11 million out of 22 million are homeless. If you are president and your country is in this condition, you don't get to say you brought stability. Nor is the problem outsiders. In 2011 there was almost no outside interference in Syria. Bashar drove the opposition to pick up arms. The largely rural and illiterate Syria of 1970 when Bashar's father came to power is long gone. You can't keep them on the farm once they have seen gay Paree.
Iraq was anything but stable under Saddam Hussein (r. 1979-2003). The country invaded two neighbors, Iran and Kuwait, in wars that killed perhaps a million Iraqis out of then 16 million! Thousands were bulldozed into mass graves for belonging to opposition parties. Does this sound stable to you? That the regime would have survived in the long term is highly unlikely. I did and do think the US invasion of Iraq a huge mistake (in early 2003 I compared the idea to that scene in Star Wars where they are in the trash compactor and it starts to move, and Harrison Ford says "I have a bad feeling about this.") But that is because the war violated international law and brought absolute chaos to Iraq, not because the existing government was "stable" or good for the locals.
Gaddafi's police state was unstable all along, but survived because of repression. By 2011 it was no longer surviving, because society had changed. In 1969 Libya was largely rural and illiterate. In 2011 it was largely urban and literate. In 1969 most people did not have telephones. In 2011 most people had cell phones. When Gaddafi cut off the internet, people just sent videos and messages by SMS on their phones. People were what Karl Deutsch called "socially mobilized" (urban, literate, connected by communications networks, etc.). Being socially mobilized is no guarantee of being politically mobilized. Lots of socially mobilized societies are politically quiescent. But in 2011 people in Libya became politically mobilized, and their high degree of social mobilization was a real asset in making the revolution. The UNO/ NATO intervention mainly leveled the playing field for the rebels by destroying regime arms depots out in the desert or targeting SCUD and tank convoys.

When the dollar crashes, the thing that will crash is the money manipulation of it, and the investing part of it. Fiat will still be good for buying and selling between people. Hoard a bunch of paper dollars, especially ones and fives. Why? Because they will buy you your food after the banking system crashes. |

Armed guards protect Senate Democrats as they demand new gun-control laws The irony of this is un-ignorable. Powerful people guarded by weapons I could not legally posses are telling me that I would be safer without the guns I can have. Way to lead by example.  Simple solution: not vote for the same people over and over... The voting machines are all broken. That's why "they" leave them in place, so that we think that we are voting. |

But if we got rid of all the legalization and illegalization of alcohol, think of how cheap it would become. Everyone would make it without restriction. The price would go way down, big alcohol makers wold go out of business ('cause everyone would make it), and we all would have a lot more fun. |

The plane of the earth's orbit around the sun is slightly different than the plane of the moon's orbit around the earth. The moon's orbital plane around the earth is off by about 5.1 degrees from the earth's orbital plane around the sun. This is why you see a partial moon eclipse at times. At other times, the position of the earth in it's orbit around the sun, causes a total lunar eclipse. This is because the moon's orbital plane remains stationary in its position with regard to at least the galactic plane, if not the universal whole. While this is a little difficult to explain on paper in words, learning the geometry of the actual motions of the earth, moon, and sun shows that the standard understanding of bodies in space is correct. In other words, flat earth theory in this instance is completely wrong. I wonder how the earth is a pear shape figure would fit into this: Figure of the EarthGone Pear Shaped "The earth is officially ‘pear-shaped’ – not a round sphere as is commonly believed. Now do not get the wrong idea about this, it is not shaped like some huge interstellar fruit, that, while interesting would be plain ridiculous. It is barely pear-shaped, but pear-shaped enough."The links you supplied suggest that the small amount of pear shape might not be noticeable if you simply looked at the earth from a distance. The pear shape of earth might make a difference in the orbits of both, earth around the sun, and the moon around the earth. But the pear shape is small enough that for any time within a hundred thousand years, the difference in orbit would be negligible. |

Who cares if someone decides he wants to become stupid? That's his business. As long as he isn't hurting someone else by being stupid, and as long as he understands that he is going to be made stupid, why should anybody care? It doesn't bother me at all that some idiot smokes and becomes stupid. I have arranged my finances in such a way that I don't pay taxes. If they go on welfare because they they become to stupid to work, it's no skin off my nose. |

Armed guards protect Senate Democrats as they demand new gun-control lawsSenate Democrats gathered Thursday on the steps of the Capitol surrounded by about a dozen armed guards to announce a new push for tougher gun-control laws. The officers from the U.S. Capitol Police, who carried sidearms, were in addition to the regular detail paroling the Capitol ground due the large number of elected officials attending the event, according to a officer on the scene. About 27 Democratic senators attended the event. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/oct/8/armed-guards-protect-senate-democrats-they-demand-/ Yes. It is kind of ironic that even if there were laws that eliminated all the guns, the police guarding government people would still have them (guns). Imagine, for a moment, that government made laws that said that nobody in America could have any guns. To whom would such laws apply? Well, it wouldn't apply to native Americans on their lands, because government has lately ruled that these lands are separate nations inside of America. And it certainly wouldn't apply to people of other countries within their own countries. Actually, there are only two groups of people it would apply to. It would only apply to people in government and to 14th Amendment U.S. citizens. For all practical intents and purposes, the only 14th Amendment citizens in America are people who have been naturalized lately, and artificial entity paperwork. Generally, average American citizens are not 14th Amendment citizens, and therefor not citizens at all, because there is no other way for the United States to legally have citizens except through the 14th Amendment. For you and me, a gun is property. The role of government is to protect the property of the people. The correct demand to make when government attempts to diminish our ability to own property is to demand that they stay away from our property, or see it is returned if it has been taken from us. Gun laws don't apply to average Americans. The only reason why Americans lose in court is, they don't know how to litigate their own property rights. |

At this time in governmental police state control, it is time to go the other direction. Let government strongly stress the dangers,
let them stress what will happen to you if you harm or injure someone,
Then get rid of the laws.When you harm someone, you are punished by being harmed in the same way he was, after you pay to see that he is made well again. If he dies, you pay for his family's loss, even if you have to work it off in hard labor for 20 years. Then you are executed. If you damage the property of someone, you pay to repair it, and more to compensate him for time lost. Other than that, nothing but very strong governmentally issued warnings. In other words, complete freedom for all. But absolutely DO make people pay when they harm or damage other people, but ONLY then. |

http://www.yelp.com/biz/massai-berlinOn my fifth day in Berlin, I ate at the Massai !
One star for the look : The Massai is an African restaurant. From the outside, you can totally get this feeling. Once inside, you have travelled in an instant to Africa. The waiters are dressed with a white african-like uniform and the menu are... How can I say ? When the menu arrived at the table, I thought there were severals XD Not. Actually, it is a fully binded book and each page is really thick. It looks like the menu has been carved in wood. Really funny, I would like to be the waiter with a table for 4 !
One star for the food : I asked for an Antelope meat. One the menu there was no specification about the rest. Just that there would be wild rice and vegetables. I had a soup as a started, which I had not ordered. It was OMG delicious. They I had my plate. When I say plate, I should say PLATE: I had never seen such a huge plate, could barely stand on the table. On this plate I had the meat, perfectly cooked, some vegies in some kind of coconut shell, some beans in another shell, some wild rice kept warm under another shell. I cannot really explain how good it warm. It was just... Beautiful ! If you want to try this dish, look at the section Cap Special of the menu and Antelop meat.
One star for the people : Really nice and helpful AND fast !
One star for the presentation : Every plate, bowl, is decorated with African designs and the word MASSAI. Really exotic
Anything else to add ? I have not put a five star, though I would really like to, because my friend thought it was way too spicy. And it was not actually specified on the menu that it would be that much. If you are in Berlin, think of my recommandation and Enjoy !
