Portrait of Machiavelli (by Santi di Tito)

The Prince (Italian Il Principe, Latin De Principatibus) is a 16th-century political treatise written by Machiavelli, an Italian diplomat, philosopher, and political theorist.

He wrote it in the form of a realistic instruction guide for new princes. Many commentators have viewed that one of the main themes of The Prince is that immoral acts are sometimes necessary to achieve political glory [1, 2].

Melania Trump is/was a whore escort

(Keith Edwards) Leaked audio confirms Melania was an escort [who "dated" and may have had a baby with pimp, Israeli spy, and professional child molester Jeffrey Trump before marrying Donny Trump]

From Machiavelli's correspondence, a version was apparently being written in 1513, using the Latin title De Principatibus ("Of Principalities") [3].

However, the printed version was not published until 1532, five years after the death of Machiavelli. This was carried out with the permission of the Medici Pope Clement VII.

But "long before then, in fact since the first appearance of The Prince in manuscript, controversy had swirled about his writings" [4].

Although The Prince was written as if it were a traditional work in the mirrors for princes style, it was generally agreed as being especially innovative.

This is partly because it was written in the vernacular Italian rather than formal Latin. More

American Evolutionary Psychologist Miller's sex research

The Mating Mind: Sexual Choice

Dr. Miller's 2003 book The Mating Mind: How Sexual Choice Shaped the Evolution of Human Nature proposes that human mate choices, courtship behavior, behavior genetics, psychometrics, and life cycle patterns support the survival value of traits related to sexual selection, such as art, morality, language, and creativity.

According to Dr. Miller, the adaptive design features of these traits suggest that they evolved through mutual mate choice by both sexes to advertise [in]heritable fitness [13].

• WHO IS DR. MILLER? Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, Dr. Miller graduated from Columbia University in 1987 [5], where he earned a BA in biology and psychology. He received his Ph.D. in cognitive psychology from Stanford University in 1993, with Roger N. Shepard as his principal adviser [1].

Behavior

Dr. Miller's clinical interests are the application of fitness indicator theory to understand the symptoms, demographics, and behavior genetics of schizophrenia and mood disorders.

His other interests include the origins of human preferences, aesthetics, utility functions, human strategic behavior, game theory, experiment-based economics, the ovulatory effects on female mate preferences, and the intellectual legacies of Charles Darwin, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Thorstein Veblen.

 

In 2007, Dr. Miller (with Joshua Tybur and Brent Jordan) published an article in Evolution and Human Behavior, concluding, based on a sample size of 18 strippers at a club in Albuquerque, New Mexico, over a two-month period, that lap dancers make more money during ovulation [14, 15].

Spent: Sex, Evolution [and Shopping]

For this paper, Dr. Miller won the 2008 Ig Nobel Award in Economics [16].

 

In his 2009 book Spent: Sex, Evolution and the Secrets of Consumerism, Dr. Miller attempts to apply Darwinism to consumerism, arguing that marketing has exploited our inherited instincts to display social status for reproductive advantage [17].

He makes the claim that marketing persuades people—particularly the young—that the most effective way to display social status is through consumption choices over than conveying traits such as intelligence and personality through direct communication [18]. More

Why ME? The 'Law' of Karma

(Buddhist Audio books) Invisible Law Controls Our Life: Kamma (Karma) in Buddhist Abhidhamma

First of all, what is Abhidhamma? It is the systematic treatment of the Dharma, the Buddha's Teachings, in ultimate terms.

Second, what is karma in Buddhism? It is a deed, willed action, which the Buddha divided as either physical, verbal, or mental, singling out intention or motivation (cetana) as the key to determining what it is and what it will produce.

If I do something, why I do it matters. A Manhattanite is walking down the boulevard on a dark and rainy night. She looks down an alley as see me over someone, lifting a blade that glints in the light of a dingy streetlamp about to bring down a blade on the body.

There's always a solution, a fix it.

What's happening? Can we judge? What's the karma (deed, action, doing)? She screams, "bloody murder!" and I look up and show her my scalpel. She looks down and sees a woman on the ground unable to breathe. And I explain that I was about to stab her in the throat, draw blood, and let air into her windpipe because she has something jammed into her mouth and is about to go unconscious and die if I do not intervene. "Oh, are you a doctor?" she asks me. "No, of course not, but I do watch lots of reruns of MacGyver," I answer.

Now that we know all this, what's the karma? The horrible act of attempted murder or the exact opposite, the precious act of preserving life?

It's hard to say, so we should reserve judgment at least a little, until we can discern my MOTIVE, my INTENTION, my VOLITION, my cetanā or underlying impulse to act.

The Roots of Good and Evil: Buddhist Texts

That mental motive is the real "karma," the real determinant of the deed, and it doesn't matter what others think, approve of, or condemn. She may hate me, she may get a beat cop to shoot me to prevent what she thinks is going on, a judge may imprison me based on her testimony, but all of that is HER karma, not mine. I will be "judged" impersonally by myself or the universe for what I was actually doing when that ACT matures and comes to fruition.

Importantly, there are only six root motives for an action, a deed, any kind of karma. See The Roots of Good and Evil: Buddhist Texts translated from the Pali (Buddhist Publication Society, Wheel Series 251-253) by Western monk Ven. Nyanaponika Thera.

There are other divisions, such as the Ten COURSES (kamma-patha) of Unwholesome Action and, of course, Ten Courses of Wholesome Action. There are probably millions of deeds, but getting to the root (radix, radical) of the matter, we have only six roots:

1. greed (lobha, lust, craving, clinging, desire, wanting)
2. hatred (dosa, aversion, fear, anger, annoyance, ill-will)
3. delusion (moha, ignorance, wrong views, confusion)
4. nongreed (alobha, letting go, selflessness, sharing, giving, generosity, dispassion, detachment)
5. nonhatred (adosa, loving kindness, compassion, mudita or joy in others' joy, unbiased onlooking)
6. nondelusion (amoha, wisdom, knowledge, knowing-and-seeing, understanding, penetration).

• See the Discourse on Right View or Sammādiṭṭhi Sutta.

We can divide karma (acts) into ten kinds:

• Three of body

1. destroying life

2. stealing

3. sexual misconduct

• Four of speech

4. false speech

5. divisive speech

6. offensive speech

7. senseless speech

• Three of mind

8. covetousness

9. malice

10. wrong view.

Ah, what does the Buddha know anyway?

What is there to notice here? Most karma is produced by the mouth or other means of VERBAL expression. The body may do things, but when does it do them that it is not being motivated (directed, willed) by the mind? Not acting out, not speaking out, it is still possible to produce karma (deeds with the power of producing a subsequent result) JUST BY THINKING. There really is mental karma. The RESULTS of karma are not karma, even though we in an offhand, shorthand way often refer to results as karma when we say, "It is my karma," referring to something that happened to us. That is never our karma, technically, but we all understand that what we think we're saying is, "This is a result of my deeds," and that may well be. Not everything that happens is due to karma. There are other causes. But most of the important things that happen to us that we notice and think are unfair, that's likely due to our bright and dark karma. This is a world of mixed results. To live in a world of predominantly bright results, there are karmas (acts) for that. Similarly, to live in a world of darkness and even worse suffering than we have here on the human plane (which is regarded as the lowest of the worlds one can be reborn in that is still considered "good"), there are deeds for that. Unless we get real with ourselves, privately, and recognize our motives, our intentions, what is impelling us to act, we cannot be surprised what we get as a result.

Remember, what we experience is not what we are doing now. We have a massive cache of past karma (from this and countless past lives even if we disbelieve those former lives and rebirths ever happened) that is trying to mature and come to fruition, to ripen and produce results.

The two names for karmic results are vipaka (resultants) and phala (fruits). The distinction seems to be, although we cannot prove it but remember Ven. Nyanatiloka (the Western translator of the Buddhist Dictionary) always making the distinction being mental-resultants and outward-circumstances. If we act, we immediately feel some way about it -- regret, remorse, anxiety about being found out or caught or punished, and so on, or rejoicing, approving, carefree or proud to be found out or recognized or rewarded, and so on, depending on the kind of action.

There is a terrible kind of karma, one that is possibly the worst of all karmas, and what is strange about it is that most of us most of the time would not even think there's anything wrong with in our Western society. What is it?

• What is the worst thing in the karmic world, the producer of the most amount of bad (unskillfulness, demerit, evil, misery)?

Wrong view (micchā ditthi), sometimes manifesting as the perversions or distortions (vipallassa). This is the one to be most wary of, for we will be held responsible for what we think, what views we cling to and act on. If we believe something is good because that's what people around us told us or it's the way we were raised, that DOES NOT make it good or okay. It is what it is, in accordance with the six roots mentioned above, and will produce corresponding results that are either welcomed and wished for or unwelcome and unwished for. Proceed cautiously before acting. A little or a lot of introspection helps.

• Outline of Buddhism

If there were just ONE primer to understand the complexity of karma in Buddhism, Wisdom Quarterly would say it is American scholar-monk Bhikkhu Bodhi's treatment of the subject here:

Anunnaki GOLD Mines (Michael Tellinger)

Michael Tellinger (Coast to Coast, 9/29/22); Pfc. Sandoval, Ashley Wells (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

Michael Tellinger

Scientist and author Michael Tellinger talks about his work on stone relics of South Africa, which he believes have a direct connection to the ancient gold mines of the Anunnaki, said to be an ancient race of ETs that visited and ruled planet earth.

The Anunnaki, the ones who came from above, and other civilizations conducted massive gold mining operations all over the planet, even the Grand Canyon. It was not created by natural erosion but by gold mining, Tellinger has concluded.

• Listen to first hour (Coast to Coast AM Official)
• Mysterious white powdered gold | Coast to Coast

Temples of the Anunnaki: Enki's Gold 

Their obsession with mining gold may have had to do with their survival or extending their lives, specifically making use of monatomic gold (powdered white gold) and its demonstrable property of disappearing -- moving into another dimension -- when heated to 800 degrees.

Regarding the mysterious ancient stone circles found in large numbers in South Africa, Tellinger says they are amplification devices for "Earth's natural sound frequencies that come out of the ground." 

Human slaves of the "gods"

Evidence shows that the Anunnaki created stone circles 300,000 years ago, according to Tellinger, and used human slaves to place them in cymatic patterns.

"When you put 10 million of these stone circles together, they generate an...unimaginable amount of energy" that can produce such things as scalar waves, levitation, electricity, and more, Tellinger claims.

He also touches on his work with the UBUNTU Movement and the One Small Town initiative, which emphasize a community-driven structure and abundance for all. AUDIO

DMT Dialogues: The Invisible Beings

Jeremy Narby, Reality Sandwich, 12/18; Pat Macpherson, Dhr. Seven (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

"Universal Mother" by Martina Hoffmann (LA Yoga, Cosmic Sister via Reality Sandwich)

.

The following is excerpted from DMT Dialogues: Encounters with the Spirit Molecule, a series of transcribed discussions of DMT experiences and plant sentience from leading luminaries in the field of psychedelic research, published by Inner Traditions.

Amazonian Perspectives on Invisible Entities

Yesterday Dennis [McKenna] talked about many interesting things. I [Jeremy Narby] like to quibble. I think that dialogue and exchanging points of view is the way to go.

• Dennis McKenna: “True psychedelics” is a made-up category in a sense, but it is based on pharmacology. So it’s not that tobacco or a lot of these other things can’t be hallucinogenic; they’re just not “true psychedelics.” That’s a pharmacological statement, all due respect to tobacco, salvia, and all these things that are not true psychedelics.

One of the things you said yesterday that I would quibble with is that DMT is often independent of cultural context. I know what you mean when you say that:

It means that people from different cultures, who are naive and uninformed about the experience report very similar experiences, so therefore we think it’s independent of cultural context. Well, yes and no. What I’m going to say today is why culture matters.

 

There are cultures in the Amazon, where people have been taking plants, extracts, or snuffs that contain DMT for generations. So they’ve accumulated knowledge about how to do it and about the entities that they encounter, and this knowledge is then accumulated in their culture.

Surely this is one of the things that distinguishes humans from other species -- even though one should be suspicious of lists of things that distinguish us from other species. Nevertheless, we are the cultural animals; we are the ones who accumulate knowledge outside of our biology, through our culture.

It’s given us a tremendous advantage over other species, but that would be another subject.

 

Anthropologists always argue that culture is important. It’s like the way scientists always conclude that more research is needed, because more research is always needed. It’s almost a tautology, but it remains, let’s say, a useful tautology. “Culture matters” is a useful tautology.

 

Before describing what I think has been established about what Amazonian people think about invisible entities, I’d just like to position myself as an observer and as an agnostic.

And I’d like to say what that means: It means that I know that I don’t know about final causes. This is not indifference. We talked about this with David [Luke] yesterday. Sometimes when people talk they say, “I’m agnostic on that,” and it kind of means, “I don’t want to know about it.”

No, agnosticism -- the way that I view agnostic research -- doesn’t mean that you’re indifferent to something or even that you give up wanting to know and throw in the sponge.

It is that you get comfortable with the unknown, and you feel okay about it. So yes, there’s a lot of mystery; we’re not throwing in the sponge, but we’re sitting there comfortably with it.

What’s wrong with the unknown? It’s not our enemy. We can want to know it, and we can gain knowledge. But as we know, the more we know the more questions that arise, too.

I think that the agnostic position, at least when it comes to knowledge, is the comfortable and open-minded way of going about things. Amazonian people have the perspectives they have, and I view my job -- getting up here -- as reporting on... More

Braitman asks what we as humans can learn from watching animals cope with depression, sadness, and other all-too-human problems.

• Kony 2012 is a scam funded by Chase Bank and Big Oil (Occupythe99percent.com)

Few Americans online this week have missed the excitement and furor over the super-viral video Kony 2012. It has been clicked (not actually watched all the way through) 70 million time on YouTube since its March 5th posting. The 27 minute video produced by the activist group “Invisible Children, Inc.” is a follow up to their 2006 documentary “Invisible Children” on child soldiers, child abuse, and child molestation in Uganda's Civil war. The [Christian] San Diego based group advocates war -- American military intervention, helping to pass a 2010 bill and supporting a 2011 decision by the Obama administration to deploy 100 special forces soldiers to assist in the kill/capture of Joseph Kony, commander of the insurgent Lords Resistance Army. The video advertises an “Action Kit” it sells containing stickers and bracelets for $30 US dollars while “redefining the propaganda.” More

Kony 2012, Terrible or Terrific?

The film “Kony 2012” is the biggest piece of trash I’ve ever seen.

What? The filmmakers behind Kony 2012 are an inspiration. They are shedding a light on a neglected conflict, spurring people to action and saving lives [and just making a little money exploiting half truths].

For those who aren’t among the nearly [70] million people, and rapidly growing, who have watched Kony 2012 online, the film is about Joseph Kony, a notorious Ugandan warlord who heads the Lord’s Resistance Army, or LRA. His group is said to have abducted 60,000 children over the years, turning boys into brainwashed soldiers and girls into sex slaves.

Why are things invisible? (video)

IndiaDaily.com (editorial) edited and expanded by Wisdom Quarterly

UFO caught by Int'l Space Station, the gateway to astronautical photography, Sept. 2011.

PUNE, India - UFOs are normally hidden by an electromagnetic flux making them invisible. But thousands of them are hovering all around us. Scientists in India finally understand how.

Engineers at the Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) are busy experimenting with a device that can see through the stealth effects of intense electromagnetic flux. According to them, the stealth effects come from creating an intense electromagnetic field around any object.

Aerosol dispersants ("chemtrails") help the MIC detect stealth aircraft and UFOs by creating a sensitive fluid net (using red blood cells, toxic heavy metals, and exotic compounds) as seen here over suburban Los Angeles in 2011 (Wisdom Quarterly/CC Liu).

Russians have been experimenting with stealth technology. It can be created through the advanced application of super conductors. But there are paranormal means of creating this flux, which renders anything invisible.

It can be created by meditative concentration (Buddhist jhanas), which can be cultivated by any human being. It is an effect of serenity (shamatha) from keeping attention on the present moment, the opposite of attention deficit disorder.

When such absorption (jhana, dhyana, zen) takes place, strange phenomena occur. The Buddha stated that the range of power that can be developed in this way is imponderable. People call these miracles, marvels, heavenly effects, and so on.

The range and influence of a buddha is another imponderable atop the wonder of wielding jhana (meditative absorption) powers, depicted in this Dhammakaya (DIMC.net) billboard, Azusa, California (WQ/Ashley Wells).

Some animals possess sensors that enable them to sense energy levels beyond the human electromagnetic range. Dogs, cats, and birds are probably seeing UFOs without being able to express it.

But why are UFOs seen sometimes? The reason UFOs are visible only in rare instances and for a short time is that when a UFO enters Earth’s atmosphere and approaches an object, it has to go from ultrasonic speed and maneuvering techniques down to sonic speeds.

It has to adjust to Earth’s electromagnetic and gravitational effects. At that moment, to avoid electromagnetic interference, the artificial flux is removed briefly. Afterward, the electromagnetic cloud is regenerated around the UFO. "Personal invisibility" is already in use by the US Military-Industrial Complex:

Invisibility is a practical technical reality (and an ancient spiritual one) while we argue over theory. Video courtesy of uploader InfiniteFreeThinkers via Sheilaaliens.

This explains why in many countries Air Force pilots have chased UFOs only to have them disappear. There are early indications that teleportation mechanisms can (or already have been) developed from researching electromagnetic flux.

Science: Space-Time Cloaking (Nat Geo)

Richard A. Lovett (National Geographic News, July 11, 2011)

Fiber optics can easily bend light around objects, but an event cloak bends time, too

It's no illusion: Science has found a way to make not just objects but entire events disappear, experts say.

Magic? Material would adjust speed of light [once imagined to be constant] to hide actions, physicists say. According to new research by British physicists, it's theoretically possible to create a material that can hide an entire bank heist from human eyes and surveillance cameras. "The concepts are basically quite simple," said Paul Kinsler, a physicist at Imperial College London, who created the idea with colleagues Martin McCall and Alberto Favaro. Unlike invisibility cloaks -- some of which have been made to work at very small scales -- the event cloak would do more than bend light around an object. More

US-Afghanistan-Pakistan Wars, Why?

UprisingRadio.org (April 4, 2011)

Crossing Zero: The AfPak War At the Turning Point of American Empire

• LISTEN: Segment - Entire program

Two U.S. soldiers were shot dead this morning in Afghanistan by an Afghan border policeman. They were providing security for American trainers in the northern Faryab province. The shooting came on the heels of three days of anti-American protests that have claimed 24 lives. The protests were sparked by news of American fundamentalist Christian pastor Terry Jones, burning a Koran on March 20th. Pastor Jones had last September threatened to burn copies of the Koran to commemorate the September 11th attacks but was dissuaded by high-level officials and public resistance. However, he finally went ahead a few weeks ago in a move that got almost no media coverage. His actions had consequences in Afghanistan however. The violence began in Mazar-e-Sharif on Friday April 1st when a mob attacked a United Nations compound killing at least 12 people. As U.S. and NATO troops become increasingly less popular, American forces are prepared to hand over authority to Afghan government forces starting this June. In response, former U.S. ally and war criminal Gulbuddin Hekmatyar has called for a national uprising against the U.S. backed government of Hamid Karzai. Hekmatyar and what he represents about U.S. policy in Afghanistan is featured heavily in a new book called Crossing Zero: the AfPak War at the Turning Point of American Empire by Elizabeth Gould and Paul Fitzgerald. Gould and Fitzgerald have a long history of covering Afghanistan. Following from their 2009 book Invisible History: Afghanistan’s Untold Story, in this new book, they explore the war’s expansion into Pakistan, its various contradictions, and consequences for the region.

Exposing UFOs and a New Physics

(ITN) Three of the spookiest, unexplained UFO videos from space, India, and Mexico

2012 EXPOSED: UFOs and Etherian Physics
Randall Radic, Th.D., S.T.D. (Basil & Spice, Mar. 21, 2010)
The "energy of life" is a concept that has been around as long as mankind. According to some, it’s even mentioned in the Bible, where it is called ne shema, which is the “breath of life” [Sanskrit, prana]. Many scientists, doctors, and writers have attempted to locate and harness this energy of life. Dr. Albert Abrams, Dr. Ruth Drown, and Wilhelm Reich to name just a few. Reich called the energy of life orgone. And he constructed a machine, which amplified and emanated orgone energy. Reich maintained his discovery could save humanity from the ravages of disease. The powers that be [labelled] Reich another nutcase, so they put him out of business and imprisoned him.

In the 1980s, a bestselling book about electromagnetic energy was written and published by a medical doctor. It was called The Body Electric. Was electromagnetic energy the energy of life? ...it is easy and fun to scoff at such theories. But there are hordes of intelligent people who accept these theories as truth. Just as there are hordes of people who actually believe in miracles and angels. Trevor James Constable wrote The Cosmic Pulse of Life: The Revolutionary Biological Power Behind UFOs (The Book Tree/2008) in which he expands on what he calls “etherian physics” and the invisibility of UFOs...
