I do some of my best thinking when I’m on the move—in a bus, a train, a plane (though perhaps not in a Thai minivan). I can’t help but wonder if this might be due to a physical phenomenon of “induced creativity” akin to the electromagnet induction of electricity that occurs when a coil of wire is moved through a magnetic field. Could it be that “creative energy” is induced when an idle brain is moved through the Earth’s magnetic field or through a monotonous landscape? Far out, eh?<br>

<strong>The Buddhist way—Principles to live by</strong><br>

I often receive useful input from my correspondents via email. One that came to me recently was a list of life principles referred to as “The Buddhist Way.” I immediately posted it on my blog at <a href="http://beyondmoney.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3cbee2e1cfc237bcae4ed6959&id=07d57c36a4&e=686d597d8c" style="color:rgb(51,102,153);font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank"><font color="red"><b>MailScanner has detected a possible fraud attempt from "beyondmoney.us7.list-manage.com" claiming to be</b></font> https://tomazgreco.wordpress.com/2014/05/20/the-buddhist-way-principles-to-live-by/</a> , and intend to tack it up on my wall so that I may keep the principles always in mind.<br>

<strong>Psychiatry running amok</strong><br>
<br>
A few nights ago I went to a showing of a documentary film titled, <em>The Hidden Enemy: Inside Psychiatry’s Covert Agenda</em>, a film of the <a href="http://beyondmoney.us7.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=3cbee2e1cfc237bcae4ed6959&id=24f4248e88&e=686d597d8c" style="color:rgb(51,102,153);font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">Citizen’s Commission on Human Rights</a>. I was astounded to learn, among other things, the extent of suicides and domestic violence amongst our military personnel, and the scale and scope of the their drugging by psychiatric staff both during and after their active duty service. Our troops have been virtual guinea pigs for psychiatric drugs that have questionable benefit and horrendous side effects.<br>
<br>
The showing, sponsored by Veterans for Peace, highlighted some startling facts about psychiatry in the military:
<ul>
<li>The shootings at Fort Hood and the Washington Navy Yard are linked to psychiatric drugs.</li>
<li>22 veterans are committing suicide every day.</li>
<li>In 2012 more active duty soldiers died from suicide than were killed in battle.</li>
<li>A questionnaire used to screen military personnel for depression and PTSD is copyrighted by Pfizer, who manufactures the antidepressant Zoloft and other psychiatric drugs.</li>
<li>85% of military suicides had never seen combat.</li>
<li>More than 60% of suicides in the military were taking antidepressants or recently undergoing outpatient psychiatric treatment.</li>
<li>The antipsychotic drug, Seroquel, is referred to by soldiers and veterans as “serokill” because of its implication in cases of cardiac arrest and sudden deaths.</li>
</ul>
The showing was followed by a Q and A session during which many veterans described their own personal experience with psychiatric drugs that were prescribed based only on brief interviews and descriptions of symptoms, not a very scientific approach to treatment, in my view. In many cases, multiple drugs are prescribed even though no scientific testing has been done to determine possible interactions among them. I urge everyone to read the information and view the video <a href="http://beyondmoney.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3cbee2e1cfc237bcae4ed6959&id=8229ecea28&e=686d597d8c" style="color:rgb(51,102,153);font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">here</a>.<br>

<strong>Flight MH370</strong><br>
<br>
While news of the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight 370 has faded from the headlines the mystery remains, and the failure to find one shred of physical evidence that the plane crashed into the ocean, adds to the plausibility of explanations other than the official ones.<br>
<br>
No less a figure than Mahathir bin Mohamad, who served for 22 years as Malaysia’s Prime Minister, has accused the CIA and the Boeing Company of hiding key information. <a href="http://beyondmoney.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3cbee2e1cfc237bcae4ed6959&id=0e79413769&e=686d597d8c" style="color:rgb(51,102,153);font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">The May 19 edition of the Sydney Morning Herald</a> reported as follows:<br>
<br>
<em>One of the most influential figures in Malaysia’s ruling party claims information about flight MH370 is being hidden and the Australian-led search for the plane off Western Australia is a waste of time and money.</em><br>
<br>
<em>Former prime minister Mahathir Mohamad said the plane’s disappearance on March 8 was “most likely not an ordinary crash after fuel was exhausted”.</em><br>
<br>
<em>“The plane is somewhere, maybe without MAS [Malaysia Airlines] markings,” he said. “It is a waste of time and money to look for debris or oil slick or to listen for pings from the black box.”</em><br>
<br>
<em>“Someone is hiding something. It is not fair that MAS and Malaysia should take the blame,” he wrote.</em><br>
<br>
<em>Dr Mahathir suggested the United States' Central Intelligence Agency had knowledge of the disappearance of the plane with 239 people on board but was not sharing it with Malaysia.</em><br>
<br>
<em><strong>He also claimed that Boeing, the plane’s maker, and “certain” government agencies, have the ability to remotely take over control of commercial airliners such as the missing Boeing 777. </strong></em>[emphasis added-t.h.g.]<br>
<br>
<em>“For some reason, the media will not print anything that involves Boeing or the CIA,” he said.</em><br>
<br>
Further, a number of articles compiled by Intellihub report that:<br>
1. Malaysian opposition leader, Anwar Ibrahim, has accused Malaysian officials of <a href="http://beyondmoney.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3cbee2e1cfc237bcae4ed6959&id=e96ae4bdab&e=686d597d8c" style="color:rgb(51,102,153);font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">withholding evidence</a>.<br>
2. ‘Hijacked flight 370 passenger sent photo from hidden <a href="http://beyondmoney.us7.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=3cbee2e1cfc237bcae4ed6959&id=4af1d8b8a3&e=686d597d8c" style="color:rgb(51,102,153);font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">iPhone tracing back to secret U.S. military base Diego Garcia</a>’.<br>
3. One of the passengers, <a href="http://beyondmoney.us7.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=3cbee2e1cfc237bcae4ed6959&id=7927927270&e=686d597d8c" style="color:rgb(51,102,153);font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">Philip Wood, sent a text message</a> saying “I have been held hostage by unknown military personal after my flight was hijacked (blindfolded). I work for IBM and I have managed to hide my cellphone in my ass during the hijack. I have been separated from the rest of the passengers and I am in a cell. My name is Philip Wood. I think I have been drugged as well and cannot think clearly.”<br>
<br>
What a strange world we live in.
