It s with complete unashamedness that I admit we discovered this week s guest Dan Schneidkraut from our well mined source of the Filmstock Film Festival when El Vez spotted Daddy s Time, Part two of Dan s Seeking Wellness: Suffering Through Four Movements quadrilogy of films. My interest in the films only grew when all four parts arrived and I discovered that it was going to take some work on my part to fully engage with their themes. Dan joins us to discuss challenging cinema, the strengths of video and a lifetime ban from the 48hr Film Challenge.

He was the founder of analytic psychology. He noticed that the myths and fairytales from all different cultures contained certain similarities, which he called archetypes, and he believed that these archetypes came from a collective unconscious that is shared by all human beings. He said that if people could get in touch with these archetypes in their own lives, they will be happier and healthier... ]]>

From : Truth News Radio Australia
In tonight’s show we take a look at a variety of current stories in Australia and overseas, with special attention given to the ongoing global warming / carbon trading controversy and the pending execution of the convicted Bali bombers. In the second half of the show we have two special guests, Emily and Matilda, with whom we engage in an extended open discussion of the question of responsibility in relation to the task of questioning official truth. In the discussion we express our views in regard to the criteria which are needed to distinguish valid investigative research from fantasy and speculation, and we take a look at a few fringe ideas such as the theories of David Icke and UFO’s. Links to all major stories are provided below. Next week we will be interviewing Glen Clancy, creator of the film Fool Me Twice, for an discussion of his ground breaking research into the Bali Bombings. Thanks for listening! ——————————— Australian Greenhouse Expert David Evans Blows Whistle on CO2 http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au -7583,00.html Dr David Evans was a consultant to the Australian Greenhouse Office from 1999 to 2005. But since 1999 new evidence has seriously weakened the case that carbon emissions are the main cause of global warming, and by 2007 the evidence was pretty conclusive that carbon played only a minor role and was not the main cause of the recent global warming. As Lord Keynes famously said, “When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir?” There has not been a public debate about the causes of global warming and most of the public and our decision makers are not aware of the most basic salient facts: ——————————— Media Statement Sunday 1st July 2007 A new organisation called “The Carbon Sense Coalition” has been set up to defend the role of carbon on earth and in the atmosphere. Chairman of the new group, Mr Viv Forbes, a pasture manager, soil scientist and geologist from Rosevale in Queensland, says the group is concerned at the growing and unjustified vilification of carbon by politicians and the media. More information on The Carbon Sense Coalition can be found on our web site at www.carbon-sense.com. “The impetus for the formation of the group was, firstly the proposal that carbon dioxide be labelled as a pollutant in the Federal National Pollutant Inventory, and secondly a set of wholly destructive policy proposals from the Queensland government in their document Climate Smart 2050 – Queensland climate change strategy 2007 – a low carbon future.” ——————————— Two student activists have won a court challenge to special World Youth Day laws that allowed police to detain people or fine them $5,500 for annoying or inconveniencing Catholic pilgrims. No To Pope Coalition members Amber Pike and Rachel Evans took the New South Wales Government to the Federal Court, arguing the laws were unconstitutional because they would make their peaceful protest illegal. ——————————— Bali bombers waive right to seek presidential pardon www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/07/21/2310039.htm Indonesia’s Attorney-General has confirmed the three convicted Bali bombers have waived their right to seek a presidential pardon and he hopes their executions go ahead in the next few weeks. ——————————— Cynthia McKinney has won the presidential nomination of the Green Party of the United States www.911oz.com/weblogid/145 www.ajc.com/metro/content/metro/stories/2008/07/12/mckinney_green_nomination.html CHICAGO — Former Georgia congresswoman Cynthia McKinney reassumed the national political stage Saturday, winning the presidential nomination of the Green Party of the United States at the party’s national convention here. ——————————— Navy Prosecutor In Gitmo Case: “If they hadn’t shot down the fourth plane it would’ve hit the dome” Though the trial the man, dubbed “Osama bin Laden’s driver”, is primarily functioning as a show piece for the Bush administration’s “war on terror”, some interesting information emerged from the Guantanamo Bay naval base yesterday in the form of a direct admission from a US prosecutor that the fourth plane was “shot down”. www.911oz.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=214 ——————————— CNN reporter criticizes TSA, finds self on terror watch list www.rawstory.com/news/2008/CNN_reporter_wants_off_terror_watch_0716.html The post-9/11 airline watch list that is supposed to keep terrorists off of airplanes has swelled to more than 1 million names, including at least one investigative reporter who had been critical of the Transportation Security Agency, which maintains the watch list ——————————— Want some torture with your peanuts? www.washingtontimes.com/weblogs/…want-some-torture-with-your-peanuts/ Here is a story so bizarre and so ridiculous that it sounds like either a hoax or a monty python script: a “shock bracelet” which combines RFID tracking with electro-shock weapon technology all in one handy package now being assessed by the United States Department of Homeland Security for use in passenger aircraft. A senior government official with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has expressed great interest in a so-called safety bracelet that would serve as a stun device, similar to that of a police Taser®. According to this promotional video found at the Lamperd Less Lethal, Inc. website, the bracelet would be worn by all airline passengers (video also shown below). This bracelet would: • Take the place of an airline boarding pass • Contain personal information about the traveler • Be able to monitor the whereabouts of each passenger and his/her luggage • Shock the wearer on command, completely immobilizing him/her for several minutes www.911oz.com/weblogid/148 ——————————— UFO Article and Clip www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,24074041-5007132,00.html ]]>

10751603 The world is watching, so say something interesting http://www.mefeedia.com/entry/the-world-is-watching-so-say-something-interesting/10751603/
From : Career Opportunities
The world is watching, so say something interesting By Douglas E. Welch Listen: The world is watching, so say something interesting Get daily career tips on Twitter, Friendfeed and now, in video, on Seesmic. In past columns I have told you t o be careful what you say on the Internet, as the whole world is watching. Blog posts, newsgroup comments, Facebook friends and photos of you become a permanent record of your life online. That said, if the whole world is watching, maybe you should be getting some benefits from this attention. Google and other search engines shouldn’t frighten you into saying nothing on the net. Rather, they should drive you to say something enlightening, interesting and worthwhile. As I said last week, 2 major parts of any career are teaching and sharing and what better place to do this than online. All of my blogs and most of the content on my web site grew out of this concept. I was looking for a way to share the neat information I find in my work and travels, and the Internet provided the perfect location. I would highly encourage you to do the same thing for several important reasons. First, sharing your knowledge and thoughts online establishes an online, always updated, resume of your work and life experience. Even better, it is a resume that doesn’t require any special updating on its own. It simply grows as you share information. As you tell people about your experiences in your work running a new project, creating new artwork, designing a new building – You create an online story that anyone can find using the myriad of search engines out there. Even better, when someone asks you for more information about your work or examples, you have a ready place to send them. Second, great content provided by you on the net helps to counterbalance, if not bury any material that might present you in a bad light. One Facebook photo of you looking drunk at a party can be outweighed by a host of good material you provide, just like one bad restaurant review isn’t as damaging when it is surrounded by a host of good reviews. Again, putting your best foot forward can give your online audience a clearer view of who you are. Third, putting your experience, both professional and personal, online can help others to gain a wider understanding of you as a person. I know that people have discovered aspects of my life they never knew existed, until they read my Twitter stream (http://twitter.com/dewelch) or watched some of the videos I post. (http://douglaswelch.blip.tv). In most cases, I think these discoveries enhanced their opinion of me, but even if they disagree with my viewpoint on something, they at least know where I stand on a particular issue. Who knows what you might find out about your friends and acquaintances, and what they might learn about you, once you start engaging in social media like Twitter, Facebook and more. For example, if you only know me through Career Opportunities, you might not know that I am not just geeky about computers, but nearly everything I pursue, including wine, coffee, the outdoors, everything. I don’t talk much about these interests here, but they are part of my everyday life. Imagine what (good things) people might learn about you as they casually read your blog, Twitter or Facebook account. Don’t fear the online world. Be aware of what information is available about you on the Internet and then seek to expand and clarify on this information. Sure, you want to watch what you say, but there are great advantages to sharing your life online. You never know who might be listening…and that is a good thing. You never know who might be the source of the next big step in your career or your life.

10746277 WOW! ELEPHANTS!: Video http://www.mefeedia.com/entry/wow-elephants-video/10746277/
From : Wildcast - African bush adventures live-blogged to a screen near you
WOW! WOW! WOW! What an evening. I was on Banyini in the late afternoon hoping the elephants would come to drink. I moved to the east and listened. Yes they were somewhere in there in that thick mopanie. Moving back onto Banyini I got set up waiting for them to come out the woodlands. I was amazed at the amount of sound of all the bushes breaking. It was a lot louder than usual. Just before the sun set the light was absolutely stunning and I was just hoping the elephants would pop out. But no such luck. And a lovely sunset too that the elephants were also missing. But then they came and they came. And now I realised why there was so much crashing of bushes. Probably nearly 140 elephants came out onto Banyini. I have never seen so many together here. It was absolutely stunning as they came out in single file. But as the pressure mounted they came out in their droves. It’s stunning enough to see so many elephants, but when you see them from the ground, where I was sitting filming, the experience increases ten-fold and is truly AWESOME! They passed by me less than 20m on both sides as they headed on to drink. Even as I type this I still feel blown away by the experience and feel so hugely privileged! Earlier today my luck was not that good. There was nobody home at the hyaena den. With no joy there I headed west hoping to pick up on one of my spotted friends somewhere out there. And indeed I did. This same dude I’d filmed yesterday. He was just cruising around on his own. And when I switched off the vehicle he just had to come and investigate. He was even keen to lick my lens. I left him resting and headed up into the hills. I got my normal reception, a number of barks. But when I checked out the wild dog den I found a pup wedged in the entrance. Yes wedged! I moved in to a couple of meters and it didn’t budge. (These guys sure are getting too big for their den.) Not wanting to cause too much disturbance, I left him for a couple of hours waiting at Manyuchi pan. Impala and zebra came in to drink and a lone duiker. Back to the wild dog den I was happy to see the pup had got itself unstuck and was in the den.
