The Secret Psychology of Freemasonry

In all, this book was certainly worth the time spent reading it, however with that said it is a very quick read, especially once you omit the appendices

FDA assault on Amish raw milk mirrors Spanish Conquistadors killing Inca for growing quinoa and amaranth
FDA assault on Amish raw milk mirrors Spanish Conquistadors killing Inca for growing quinoa and amaranth
(NaturalNews) Today's regulatory climate of cruel intolerance towards raw milk, home-grown foods, and various other fruits of one's labor that exist outside the corporate food structure is eerily similar to the climate Native Americans faced when the Spanish Conquistadors first arrived on the shores of the "New World." Similar to what the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently did to Pennsylvania Amish farmer Dan Allgyer as well as to many others, these Spanish Conquistadors banned highly-nutritious, native foods like quinoa and amaranth because they were fearful of superstition, and prohibited all people from consuming them.

Incompetent People Too Ignorant to Know It
A growing body of psychology research shows that incompetence deprives people of the ability to recognize their own incompetence. To put it bluntly, dumb people are too dumb to know it. Similarly, unfunny people don't have a good enough sense of humor to tell.
This disconnect may be responsible for many of society's problems.

Despite Research, FDA Says Marijuana Has No Benefit
The Food and Drug Administration issued a statement in April that no sound scientific studies support the medicinal use of marijuana for treatment. This conclusion left some researchers puzzled.
“I don't understand where that came from,” said John Benson, M.D., a professor of medicine at the University of Nebraska in Omaha, who chaired an Institute of Medicine panel that wrote a 267-page report, Marijuana and Medicine, Assessing the Science Base, published in 1999. “We found sufficient evidence that [smoking marijuana] had benefits for some patients, such as to help with nausea and chemotherapy for cancer treatment. We recommended that further research be done, but it hasn't been.”

(NaturalNews) Most of the genetically-modified (GM) corn products forced on American consumers today are hidden in processed foods in the form of high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), corn oil, corn starch, and various other corn-based additives. But soon to be available at a Walmart near you is Monsanto's Bt sweet corn, the agri-giant's first ever GM corn product made available to consumers as whole ears right on the cob in the produce section-- and like with all other GMOs, neither Walmart nor Monsanto has any intention of labeling this new "Frankencorn."

Interpreting Harrow’s 20-Year Results: Are the Drugs to Blame?
Posted on February 23, 2012 by Robert Whitaker
Of all the research that has been done in the past 20 years on psychotic disorders, Martin Harrow’s ongoing study of long-term outcomes in such patients is, in my opinion, the most important work. He and his colleagues have now published their 20-year results. Given the 15-year outcomes data he published in 2007, his latest findings should not be surprising. The schizophrenia and schizoaffective patients who took antipsychotics regularly during the 20 years, compared to those who quit taking the medications (usually within the first two years), experienced more psychosis, more anxiety, and markedly fewer periods of “sustained recovery.” They were also more cognitively impaired.

Steven Dyer, 'America's Most Wanted' Pedophile, Handed Over To U.S. Police After Being On The Run For A Decade
VANCOUVER - A convicted child molester who was living undetected for years in Vancouver has been handed over to American authorities.
Steven Dyer was convicted a decade ago on 13 counts and faces 169 years behind bars in the U.S.
He was captured Tuesday night in Montreal and taken into custody in New York the next day.

"He's no longer hurting kids now. He'll spend the rest of his life in prison."

Occupy Toilet: Women Protest Long Lines For Public Bathrooms
Ladies, you've been there. Standing arms-crossed in a winding line of women, edging slowly toward the restroom as men push past through the door with a skirtless stick figure.
In Guangzhuo, China, one student decided that enough was enough. Li Tingting and 20 female accomplices set up camp in a men's public toilet to protest long wait times, according to the AFP.
The express purpose of the 'occupy' toilet protests was "not to forcibly stop men from using their toilet, but to arouse consciousness on gender equality in both women and men," the group explained, according to UPI.

Your Phone is Making You a Terrible Person?
Anyone who spends any time in public knows that there are any number of ways a cell phone can turn a person into an asshole, but now science has discovered yet another way that phones are ruining us and destroying our social fabric. It turns out, according to a study from the University of Maryland's Robert H. Smith School of Business, that after people used their phones for even a short period, they were less likely to engage in "prosocial" behavior than a control group was. That means that they were less likely to volunteer and weren't as diligent about trying to complete a word problem even though they were aware that their answers would provide money for charity. Jerks! And what's worse, it turns out you don't even need to talk on your phone—you only need to think about it. Researchers observed the same drop in prosocial behavior after a group of study participants was asked to draw a picture of their cell phone and think about using it.

Minimum Wages Could Be Lowered In Arizona, Florida
WASHINGTON -- Republican lawmakers in Arizona are pushing legislation that would lower the legal minimum wage for younger part-time workers and tipped workers such as restaurant servers, just as Florida lawmakers are considering dropping their state's tipped rate as well.
In both cases, proponents of the measures are arguing that the wage floor for such employees is too onerous on businesses.

Study: Marijuana Could Stop Growth of Colon Cancer Cells
(NaturalNews) Ever since the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) decided to allow drug companies to air direct-to-consumer (DTC) advertisements for prescription drugs on national television back in 1997, drug industry sales and profits have soared exponentially. Combined with its direct-to-doctor (DTD) marketing-slash-bribery schemes and the endless creation of new drugs for made-up diseases and conditions, Big Pharma has successfully created a hypochondriac society where every feeling, emotion, and unique human idiosyncrasy is considered to be a disease in need of a drug -- and millions of people have bought into the lie.

Newt Gingrich Calls Obama An 'Extremist' Who Supported 'Infanticide' At GOP Debate
The Republican presidential candidates Tuesday night, during a GOP debate in Arizona, took shots at President Barack Obama for his pro-choice history.
Newt Gingrich deflected a question about Obama's recent decision mandating that employers' insurance plans cover contraception by pointing out that Obama voted in favor of a law that protected abortion providers during his term as state senator of Illinois
"You did not once during the 2008 campaign ask why Barack Obama voted in favor of legalizing infanticide," Gingrich said. "If we're going to debate about who is the extremist on this issues, it is President Obama, who, as a state senator, voted to protect doctors who killed babies. [Video]

TMLS Reports Real Estate Sales Continue Positive Trend

TMLS Reports Real Estate Sales Continue Positive Trend
RALEIGH, N.C., Feb 17, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- The Triangle Multiple Listing Service (TMLS) reports the following information pertaining to the housing industry in the greater Triangle Region during January of 2012. The data shown reflects information on properties located in the 16 counties of the greater Triangle Region. The percentage changes are comparisons with the prior year's month unless otherwise noted.
Ray Larcher, President of the Triangle Multiple Listing Service, Inc. said, "Closed sales continued their seven-month positive trend through January. Sales in January were up 6.6 percent over January of 2011."
The seven months prior (July 2011 through January 2012) showed a 10.8 percent increase over the same time period last year.
"Wake County had a 16.8 percent increase in sales over January of 2011 and Chatham County had a 10.5 percent increase over January of 2011. Several local municipalities/areas with the largest increases over last January were Wake Forest up 85.7 percent; Knightdale/Wendell/Zebulon up 61.3 percent; Durham-East up 30.3 percent; and Inside-the-Beltline in Raleigh up 26.5 percent. In addition, the pending sales (homes under contract, but not yet closed) also exceeded last January by 28.5 percent, a trend that has continued for the past nine months," Larcher concluded.
New listings in the Triangle decreased by 2.3 percent to 3,126 units. Inventory levels shrank 22.4 percent in January to 13,108 units. Prices continued to soften in January with the Median Sales Price down 6.6% to $171,000 since last January. Days on Market increased 2.4 percent to 130 days. Absorption rates improved as Month's supply of Inventory was down 19.3 percent to 8.0 months.
The Housing Affordability Index was at 208, which is at its highest rate in the past five years. This index measures housing affordability for the region. An index of 120 means the median household income as 120 percent of what is necessary to qualify for the median-priced home under prevailing interest rates. A higher number means greater affordability.

Deadly Alcohol Needs Global Regulation, Health Expert Says
When considering the world's worst killers, alcohol likely doesn't come to mind. Yet alcohol kills more than 2.5 million people annually, more than AIDS, malaria or tuberculosis.
For middle-income people, who constitute half the world's population, alcohol is the top health risk factor, greater than obesity, inactivity and even tobacco.

Hungary has taken a bold stand against biotech giant Monsanto and genetic modification by destroying 1000 acres of maize found to have been grown with genetically modified seeds, according to Hungary deputy state secretary of the Ministry of Rural Development Lajos Bognar.
