Gareth and Peter hoisted sail on the Good Ship Mindset to sally forth into chartered as well as some unchartered waters in Episode 34, an hour long podcast.

But what an hour it was…

After splicing the main-brace, the daring duo began by detailing much of the news and probable agenda (seemingly hidden) to the wide awake (and still slumbering) masses across the globe.

Gareth, armed only with a bottle of Stella Artois, commented on his experiences over here in the UK – is it better or even worse than he imagined?

Peter, and his glass of orange squash, presented a number of news items that seem to link together, though these are all presented as separate and unconnected events in the Mainstream Media.

Wikileaks – Pakistan – Iraq War Inquiry.

Whilst agreeing that there has to be a bogeyman to keep us in a perpetual state of fear, we pondered the next tool to keep us in our boxes.

With the Powers That Be now signaling that Al Quaida never existed, with wars grinding to a halt, with armies being withdrawn, backed up by Wikileaks that again influences public opinion against the idea of war without end, the NWO now needs a new tactic.

Has Mindset uncovered the next fear implement?

Until next week, Peace Out Humans…

The infamous anonymous information leaking site is at it again.  Stop by any mainstream news blog and you will see differing opinions on the 90,000+ papers leaked so far.  The usual information coming out to dismiss the leaked documents of course.  Along with those believing this revelation of information could be enough for people around the world to demand the end of Afghan occupation.

I am vehemently against war and want to have the same positive viewpoint here but my esoteric side cautions me to beware.  I think everyone needs to be on alert for any important news or events we are not hearing about while this news flashes in our face saying, “hey hey look over here”.  So let us see where this information goes but we unlike the media need to be able to see what else might be going on.

I was going to title this post “A Digital Prison – Excuses for Not Posting and Disappearing from the World”, but I thought that was overkill. Anyone of you reading this who has dabbled just a little in the esoteric and parapolitcal or you are just conspiratorially paranoid should know about privacy and information awareness. I just recently got a Motorola Droid X (I am not associated with Moto, Verizon or Google) and I think this thing is fantastic it has just absorbed me for days and many friends of mine own similar devices and at work we are all glued into the constant web or other entertainment on our phones. Calling these mini-personal computers phones is really a mockery to all that they really do and occasional ya they can be used to make calls.

In a day where even I am paranoid of how much personal information everyone collects on me it seems pointless when you own one of these devices and you believe that companies like Google and Verizon have open sharing with government access. Not to mention the worry of having your personal information stolen by installing a nefarious third-party application to the device. Perhaps these are similar hurdles we have come to surpass in our connections to computers already but the smart phone has many more ways of collecting a detailed dataset on an individual. With the power of Google behind it who knows the kind of collections of profiles they have on people.

An informational video on Google’s range of “interests”

For a certain populace of conspiracy minded people who were worried about implanted chips who stated hell no I won’t get one. If that same person owns a smartphone they are basically chipped with a way more advanced tracking device. It may be external from the body but who (of those that treasure electronics enough to own a smartphone) goes anywhere without their phone?

Here is a summary of just some of the features of the Droid X powered by the Android operating system made by Google:

3 microphones for picking up excellent quality sound

Fairly accurate and fast voice commands, navigation and recognition throughout the device’s apps.

>1000 meter accuracy location awareness even when user has turned off GPS (using cell location services)

Near 3-10 meter accuracy with GPS

720p HD camcorder and 8MP camera to get a clear picture of anything going on.

Internal magnet that obtains orientation and movement of the phone

Required Gmail login for phone’s complete integration and cloud sync with Google services including calendar, email, contacts, docs, search history, and more.  Remember the constitution’s 4th amendment is currently interpreted by the courts to not cover information in the cloud.

Many thousands of apps can be obtained on the device to collect numerous information on the individual.

Usually your most personal information can be found on this device, your SMS text messages, email correspondence, who you call, who you associate with, where you go, what your interests are. It wouldn’t take a pro CIA agent to pick up a pattern from you and build a psychological evaluation of someone from all this.

Well with all that knowledge here I am holding my Droid and loving it in a sad foolish way.

China has this week become the biggest user of oil on the planet , overtaking the USA according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). Whereas once China exported the stuff , now they are a major importer and guzzler , putting pressure on supplies and raising the market price. And of course threatening the west and its massive oil companies into the bargain. Chinese companies are now all over the globe , seeking new business deals in areas of the world which the USA and UK companies have abandoned due to international pressure. China are concentrating a lot of their efforts in Central Asia , South America and Africa. Of course , the Middle East is a happy hunting ground , with Saudi Arabia this year selling more oil to China than the USA. China are now Saudi’s biggest buyer.

Meanwhile Western Oil Companies remain under attack from public opinion , who are already educated that oil is a polluter , harmful to the planet and is running out rapidly. The BP oil leak is an ongoing environmental and political tragedy unfolding on a daily basis. The murkiness of the Gulf of Mexican waters is only matched by the geopolitical machinations of the company itself and politicians. A small phalanx of both have been making bad headlines in their dealings with Libya in order to secure more oil for themselves in an ever increasing shark eat shark marketplace.
Now EXXON (daddy of ESSO oil) have hit the headlines , albeit for less sinister and more self protective reasons. Climate Change subscribers are jumping up and down in frustration that EXXON continues to sponsor sceptic organisations and scientists , despite an assurance that they would cease the practise. The bemoaners fail to see the irony that they themselves are sponsored to the hilt in order to reach conclusions which fit their beliefs.

Meanwhile , China is not without its pollution problems. Laying aside that it is now the biggest polluter ( again overtaking the USA in this particular league table), the Yellow Sea is today awash with an oil spill of its own , with authorities saying there will be a 10 day clean up operation. An explosion at a pipeline occured after an ( ironically) Libyan Tanker had discharged its load , with pipe lines and storage depots bursting into flames that blazed over the weekend in the Port of Dalian.

Over in the UK , Lloyds of London ( the insurance market ) are reporting a ‘supply crunch’ that may or may not occur before ‘peak oil’ is reached in 2020. In addition , Lloyds cite other developments that will force change into how the UK will use its existing energy supllies – interestingly the first two cited are of a political nature ( Climate Change and geopolitical issues) together with a resurgence in coal and natural gas.
Control of oil is now slipping out of the hands of the West , despite numerous wars and dodgy dealings to prop up supplies now being greedily devoured by a developing Asia. Necessity being the Mother of Invention , how long before the panic button is pressed and we see the release of suppressed technology?
