Dec 22nd Rob Simone Hosts Coast to Coast AM – The Past Lives of Children

Rob Simone is joined by reincarnation and past life expert, Dr. Jim Tucker, who’ll discuss a number of extraordinary children who have memories of past lives, and the persuasive evidence in these cases.

For the last fifty years, doctors at the University of Virginia have investigated cases of young children who report memories of previous lives. Dr. Ian Stevenson, the founder of this work, published numerous scholarly articles and books about cases from all over the world. After working with Dr. Stevenson for several years, Dr. Jim Tucker took over the project when Dr. Stevenson retired in 2002. With Life Before Life, he presented an overview of the research. Now, after focusing recently on American cases, he presents a remarkable new collection, Return to Life: Extraordinary Cases of Children Who Remember Past Lives.

Dr. Jim Tucker Biography:

Dr. Jim Tucker, M.D., is a board-certified child psychiatrist and directs research into children’s reports of past-life memories at the University of Virginia, Division of Personality Studies. He attended the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, where he graduated Phi Beta Kappa with a BA degree in psychology in 1982, followed by a Medical Degree four years later. He then received training in general psychiatry and child psychiatry at the University of Virginia, and began a successful private practice in psychiatry.

Five years later, he came across a newspaper ad stating that the Division of Personality Studies was beginning a new study of near-death experiences. In 1999, he began working half-time at the division, focusing on the children’s cases, and a year later, gave up his private practice completely to work at the university. He has now published a number of articles in scientific journals, and he has also spoken before both scientific and general audiences and made several television appearances. Dr. Tucker is Assistant Professor of Psychiatric Medicine at the University of Virginia Health System, and in addition to conducting research, he serves as medical director of the Child & Family Psychiatry Clinic.

Uri Geller’s new book “The Secret Life of Uri Geller” describes his life as, Uri Geller, the world-renowned mentalist, paranormal expert and spoon bender, has had a life in front of the cameras, a life surrounded by controversy, a life dotted with amazing psychic demonstrations. But most people didn’t know that, away from the bent cutlery and broken watches, he had been leading a second, covert, life as a ‘psychic spy’, working secretly, and without recognition for nearly thirty years. This ‘secret life’ has included work for the military and intelligence agencies on three continents – indeed, the scientists who first did rigorous research on Geller more than forty years ago (and concluded that he has a phenomenal gift) were funded by the CIA!

 

Strange Photograph From the 1870’s Look Like Nicolas Cage Double!

Check out this BIZARRE photo from 1870 that just appeared on eBay, featuring a man who looks impossibly like Nicolas Cage, and apparently lived in Bristol, TN around the time of the Civil War.

The Ebay Description:

“Original c.1870 carte de visite showing a man who looks exactly like
Nick Cage. Personally, I believe it’s him and that he is some sort of
walking undead / vampire, et cetera, who quickens / reinvents
himself once every 75 years or so. 150 years from now, he might
be a politician, the leader of a cult, or a talk show host.

This is not a trick photo, it’s an original photograph of a man who
lived in Bristol, TN sometime around the Civil War.

Photographer is Professor G.B. Smith. A contact of mine forwarded
this interesting article (link) about the photographer, Smith. Turns
out he was a confederate Civil War prisoner of war photographer.

Guaranteed to be an original 1860s-70s photograph and not
a modern reproduction, copy or photo manipulation.”

Prince talks about Chem Trails and the health effects on TV (video)

The chemtrail theory holds that some trails left by aircraft are actually chemical or biological agents deliberately sprayed at high altitudes for a purpose undisclosed to the general public in clandestine programs directed by government officials.

As a result of the popularity of the theory, official agencies have received thousands of complaints from people who have demanded an explanation.The existence of chemtrails has been repeatedly denied by government agencies and scientists around the world, who say the trails are normal contrails.

Wesley Snipes’ Appeal Denied, He Stays in Prison for Tax Evasion

[wp_campaign_1]

Snipes, 48, the star of the “Blade” action movies, was convicted in 2008 in a Florida court for willful failure to file federal tax returns from 1999 through 2001.

Snipes, who has served nearly one year of his three-year term, was accused of not filing personal income tax returns and not paying any taxes from 1999 through 2004 despite earning more than $37 million as an actor and producer.

Attorneys for Snipes said the case was improperly brought in Florida and should have been moved to New York, but the trial judge and a U.S. appeals court rejected those arguments.

Because Snipes failed to file his taxes 1999, 2000 and 2001, he’s sentenced to a year sentence in prison for each of those years, meaning he’s not scheduled for release until 2013. Also of note, Snipes actually had a Florida driver’s license during those three years, so it would seem his claim is pretty bogus. Either way, did he think the trial would go any differently in New York? It would be the “hey, you didn’t pay your taxes, go to jail” story all over again.

Back Story:

Five promoters of Florida-based tax defier organization, American Rights Litigators/Guiding Light of God Ministries (ARL), were charged with selling worthless “bills of exchange” and promoting other schemes to orchestrate tax fraud, according to an indictment which was unsealed today, the Justice Department and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) announced. Defendants Eddie Ray Kahn, Stephen C. Hunter, Danny True, Jerry R. Williamson and Allan J. Tanguay, all of Florida, were indicted by a federal grand jury in Washington on Sept. 3, 2008.

Snipes said the IRS’ own code meant no citizen had to pay taxes on income earned in this country, and the agency had no legal authority to collect wages anyway, because it is not a proper government entity.

Wesley Snipes tax appeal

In a yearslong battle with the IRS, Snipes drew on the dubious “861 argument.” So named because it refers to Section 861 of the tax code, the law holds that foreign-source wages of U.S. citizens are taxable. But tax protesters take that to mean only such income is subject to tax, and no wages made in this country are.

Judge and jury have long rejected those ideas, but there are exceptions. A few have won acquittal because the jury thought they sincerely believed they did not have to pay taxes.

The IRS bears a unique burden of proof in criminal tax cases. The agency must show not only that someone broke the law, but he or she did so with willful, bad purpose to defraud the government.

$28 billion health fund backed by Bill Gates and Bono is investigated for fraud

[wp_campaign_1]

A multi billion dollar global health fund backed by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is being probed for widespread fraud after it emerged grant money to developing countries had been ‘eaten up by corruption.’

The Global Fund to Fight Aids, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM), which distributes $28 billion in aid, found that two-thirds of the money from some grants had been stolen or misused by recipient countries.

As a result of the internal investigation, donor countries Germany and Sweden have withheld over $250 million in aid money from the Global Fund on the back of the claims.

The Fund’s newly reinforced inspector general’s office, which uncovered the corruption, can’t give an overall figure on the size of the fraud because it has examined only a tiny fraction of the $10 billion that the fund has spent since its creation in 2002.

To date, the United States, the European Union and other major donors have pledged $21.7 billion to the fund, the dominant financier of efforts to fight the three diseases.

The Global Fund receives money from 54 countries and charitable foundations such as (Product) Red, which is supported by rock star Bono.

Other prominent backers of the Fund include former U.N. secretary-general Kofi Annan, French first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy and Microsoft founder Bill Gates, whose Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation gives $150 million a year.

The controversy over the misuse of Fund health money erupted after a report from the Fund’s inspector-general found that ‘as much as two-thirds’ of some health grants to developing countries had been ‘eaten up by corruption.’

Reports specifically named projects in Djibouti, Mali, Mauritania and Zambia, and cited forged or non-existent receipts for ‘training events,’ fake travel and housing claims and outright theft, along with shoddy bookkeeping.

A full 67 percent of money spent on an anti-AIDS program in Mauritania was misspent, the investigators told the Fund’s board of directors.

It also emerged that 36 percent of the money spent on a program in Mali to fight tuberculosis and malaria, and 30 percent of grants to Djibouti were similarly misappropriated.

In Zambia, where $3.5 million in spending was undocumented and one accountant pilfered $104,130, the fund decided the nation’s health ministry simply couldn’t manage the grants and put the United Nations in charge of them.

The fund is trying to recover $7 million in ‘unsupported and ineligible costs’ from the ministry.
Support: High profile donors to the Global Fund include Carla Bruni
Donor: Other supporters of the Global Fund include ex-UN Secretary general Kofi Annan

Despite the reports of widespread corruption, Fund executives said the amount involved was only a pittance compared to some $13 billion in spending so far.

The Fund’s Inspector General John Parsons declared that: ‘The distinguishing feature of the Global Fund is that it is very open when it uncovers corruption.’

The Fund’s Executive Director Michel Kazatchkine also hit back at critics, defending safeguards on how money distributed is spent.

In a statement he said: ‘Concerned by the alarmist media stories, some donors to the Global Fund have stated that they need to reassure themselves of the organization’s procedures for dealing with fraud before affirming their contributions.

‘We will work with these donors – as well as anyone else – to ensure that the Global Fund’s systems are as good as they possibly can address corruption.

‘To date, the Global Fund’s Office of the Inspector General has undertaken audits or investigations in 33 of the 145 countries where the Global Fund has grants.

‘As a result of this, the total amount of misappropriated or unsubstantiated funds that the Global Fund is demanding to be returned at present is $34 million.’

Sweden, the fund’s 11th-biggest contributor, has suspended its $85 million annual donation until the fund’s problems are fixed. It held talks with fund officials in Stockholm last week.

Swedish Foreign Ministry spokesman Peter Larsson said in a statement that his country is concerned about ‘extensive examples of irregularities and corruption that the fund has uncovered’ in nations like Mali and Mauritania.

‘For Sweden, the issues of greatest importance are risk management, combating corruption and ultimately ensuring that the funds managed by the Global Fund really do contribute to improved health,’ he said.

The investigative arm of the U.S. Congress also has issued reports criticizing the Fund’s ability to police itself and its over reliance on grant recipients to assess their own performance.

Rush Limbaugh Describes “Secret Report” that Proves Life on Mars?!

RUSH LIMBAUGH – Is this True? In this clip, Rush claims to have a secret report called the Gore Report that reveals NASA has discovered alien DNA and skeleton. The clip has not been verified…

LISTEN to the clip here…

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT 01:33 PM ET

RUSH: As I mentioned recently, ladies and gentlemen, after reviewing data from one of the Mars Rovers, NASA, big press conference the other day, concluded that Mars was once drenched with enough water to “support life in a good, habitable environment.” I mean, this is incredible discovery and NASA is still had to go out there and say that there’s no proof that life existed. All they said was that conditions were there for there to be life. But this is not all NASA said, ladies and gentlemen. There’s a lot that is not being discussed here, as a powerful, influential member of the media, I know more than you do. Especially about this.
I have seen a highly classified report that has not been released publicly and it probably won’t be unless you consider my talking about it here to be releasing it publicly. It’s a top secret report, code name The Gore Report. It was prepared by scientists from Area 52 in New Mexico, and they analyzed the Mars data and there’s some findings in this report, and I can understand why they don’t want to release this, and I don’t know it all, but I want to pass off what some of The Gore Report says. There was life on Mars, that’s what NASA is not being up front, there was life, everybody knows it. We can’t be the only people occupying the universe. It’s impossible. Who do we think we are? The only people God created – sorry, for those of you who don’t believe in God – only people who evolved from apes?

So it’s clear that there was life elsewhere and now that NASA has kind of let the cat out of the bag, if there were habitable conditions up there we know there was life there. In fact, they found some DNA evidence up there that compares favorably to members of the Skull and Bones Society here on earth. These people were highly industrialized, the Martians, they were technologically superior, and they were very arrogant people. And they thought that the power and the force of their existence was all that was needed to sustain them, and they didn’t care a whit about conservation; they didn’t care a whit about preserving anything; they got rid of everything that was pristine.

In fact, they used the internal combustion engine. They were globalists; they got rid of all the countries on that planet and they had just one giant society, and the powerful, rich, just absorbed everything they needed from the best parts of the planet, used it for themselves and everybody basically suffered until everybody died out because what happened was there were no checks and balances. Probably, I don’t know this, probably wasn’t any campaign finance reform to restrict the corruption in their elective circumstances there, and so special interest groups and multinationals who escaped taxes by, you know, forming offshore accounts. There’s no coincidence to the fact that they found water, lots of water where habitable conditions were because it dovetails with what’s in the report about some of these multinationals abandoning their own countries and locating offshore for all of the nefarious reasons. They had rain forests. You don’t hear about this. They had ancient rain forests; they had jungles; they had so much oil and gas; they had reserves out the wazoo.
In fact, one of the things they found on Mars is that it’s possible that there’s still some there, tiny little amounts, but it’s clear. You saw the pictures from Mars. I saw the skeletons, at least I saw the fossils of the skeletons. There were people there, or there were beings there, but it looked like Pompeii, looked like these people all died huddled together, and it was just swarmed and in an instant. You know, they were one day there and then gone. So many people living close together, it has to have been the result of urban sprawl. Nobody had any space, nobody had any room, and I saw it from the pictures that they released.

It’s clear, ladies and gentlemen. Mars was once the jewel of the solar system, and it was raped. Mars was raped. This is what NASA knows. This is what The Gore Report says. Mars was raped by robber barons. Capitalism, dependence on combustible engines led to global warming; the ecosystem that sustained everybody was destroyed. That’s why the water they’ve found is at the equator area, the ice caps melted, exactly what’s happening here, folks, exactly what’s happening here. These people were advanced. Not everybody on Mars died. This is what’s fascinating about this report. Not everybody on Mars died. Some were able to flee, some were able to get off the planet. This is what they can’t afford to release. UFOs, yep, all these sightings, all of these blinking lights, all these unexplained things, they’re real. That’s why they’re calling this Area 52. Those are Martians, escaping the destruction – I think this goes way back before we were alive. UFOs have been happening all over. It may well be that the bright star that guided the three wise men was a UFO. Tax cuts absolutely were a factor. That’s what the offshore thing was all about. Yeah, of course tax cuts were a factor.

But the elites got off, the elites were able to travel in space. There weren’t very many of them, but they were able to get off. They fled the planet in time. The stunning thing about the Mars report, The Gore Report, is that they’re here. These people that destroyed Mars are here, they are on earth, folks. They are in America. They work at Halliburton. They worked at Enron. They worked at WorldCom. They’re at Boeing. They came to America, and The Gore Report clearly illustrates they have not learned a thing from their experiences on Mars. The truth is out there. Far, far out there.

Charlie Sheen,amidst his massive drug addiction problems, claimes the official story of September 11 is “a fiction, and not a very good one”.

Charlie Sheen, amidst his massive drug addiction problems, claimes the official story of September 11 is “a fiction, and not a very good one”.

He claims the attacks served as “the pretext for the dismantling of our Constitution and Bill of Rights” and to justify war on Iraq.

He also hints that Osama bin Laden works for the US government.

Charlie Sheen, in a move that I’d hate to think will prompt cynics to suggest he’s got a screw loose, has also written a script of an imaginary conversation between himself and Barack Obama.

Disappointingly Sheen is yet to confirm that Osama Bin Laden recorded his anti-West videos on the same film set the Americans used to fake the Moon landings. Perhaps Sheen can also supply us with proof that Bush faked 7/7.

Should Sheen fail to do so, however, I fear I shall be unable to shake off a prejudice I have against 9/11 conspiracy theorists: that they’re all raving egomaniacs. Faith in conspiracy theories generally, it seems to me, is a powerful indicator of low self-esteem. Conspiracy theorists desperately want to believe the worst because it makes them feel that they know best, that they have special information to which the rest of us, the gullible unthinking herd, are not privy.

I suspect that the reason 9/11 is particularly attractive to conspiracy theorists is that it happened while President Bush was in power. Most conspiracy theorists that I’ve come across despise Bush, although their ideas about him are somewhat confused: on the one hand they think he’s thick, but on the other they think he’s clever enough to oversee a plot as complicated as the faking of the biggest terrorist attack in American history.

At any rate, believing in outlandish conspiracies is exciting. It makes you feel smart and superior and important. It gives a thrilling boost to the ego.

A bit like being a Hollywood star.

Mark Zuckerberg Opens Up On Oprah (VIDEO): His Home, Relationship, And Major Donation

Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg appeared on Oprah Winfrey’s show Friday to announce that he is donating $100 million to create a charitable foundation, that aims to “invest in educating and improving the lives of young people.”

Zuckerberg’s $100 million grant, in the form of Facebook stock, will go towards improving Newark schools. Newark Mayor Cory Booker, who joined Zuckerberg on Oprah’s show together with New Jersey governor Chris Christie, will match his donation.

Although Zuckerberg has little connection to Newark–he grew up in Connecticut and now lives in California–he wrote in a blog post that Newark has “unfortunately become a symbol of public education’s failure–of a status quo that accepts schools that don’t succeed.”

“I’ve had a lot of opportunities in my life, and a lot of that comes from having gone to really good schools,” he told Oprah.

The segment offered a rare peek into Zuckerberg’s private life: his sparsely decorated home, which he rents, the Facebook offices, and the CEO’s relationship with his girlfriend, Priscilla Chan (See video below).

In a tour of his home–the first time cameras have been allowed inside–Zuckerberg is shown studying Chinese–“Priscilla and I are going to go to China for a vacation at the end of the year,” he explained–and even kissing Chan.

Given that “The Social Network” premieres tonight, many have questioned the timing of Zuckerberg’s announcement. New York magazine called it the “PR move of the month.”

However, Oprah noted that Zuckerberg had initially considered making his donation anonymously. “You’re such a shy person and you’ve been talking about this for months and months and months,” she said. “You wanted to remain anonymous and we talked you into coming on here.” She also told viewers that Zuckerberg had wanted to appear on her show earlier in September, but that her season had not yet started.
