5G towers affect bees, birds, trees, and people - FACT or FICTION?
(IV Organic) Biologist and plant expert (botanist) Charles Malki for ivorganics.com has an educated discussion with Judy Frankel of judyshomegrown.com about several studies on 5G ("5th generation") cellphone towers. They are exponentially more powerful than 4G cell towers in terms of the electromagnetic fields (EMFs) they generate and their effects on bees, birds, plants, and people. Here are the sources that form the scientific support for this assertion:

(Amazon.co.uk via Treble Clef) The Beastie Boys were a history changing hardcore punk rock band from New York that went hip hop. In celebration of their momentous career comes a documentary that looks back at the Beasties and in so doing brings a fresh approach to the story of NYC's favorite sons.
(MCA Day) Monks' fun hip hop break dancing for Adam "MCA" Yauch*
Move On Up includes rare footage, exclusive interviews, contributions from those closest to the guys plus seldom seen photographs, news reports, location shoots and a host of other features. This documentary is the finest program yet to emerge about the group who made white boys rapping acceptable and a joy to behold.
Producer Rick Rubin made them musically, with the help of Dr. Dre and DJ Hurricane. Eventually, they found Tibetan Buddhism, met the Dalai Lama and Richard Gere, and did benefit concerts bringing attention to the plight of the CIA's anti-China Tibetan refugees.

WHO told Kanye?
You'd tell me, right, Jeff? - I got girls for you.
Multi-billionaire vaccine profiteer Bill Gates -- the major contributor to WHO -- is not the only one who knew a coronavirus was coming, the likes of SARS-1 and Ebola. He told everyone in a TED Talk with a picture of the characteristic "virus" (actually an exosome vesicle from a poisoned cell, as explained by Dr. Thomas Cowan MD, Rudolf Steiner, Arthur Firstenberg, David Icke and others, with RNA and DNA expelled not "replicated" by that cell).
(Big Boy TV, 9/25/19) Kanye is a mental case even in Middle America
Unhinged businessman and newly minted billionaire Kanye West, who enriched himself selling overpriced sneakers and branded fashions, talked about it months in advance from his escape ranch in Wyoming. A friend of Trump and other prominent celebrities, likely including Bill Gates since he said he was going to tap the multibillionaire for a billion one time, West had some inside information that sounds like far more than speculation. When asked when, he answered April. He talked about China, the cancellation of Coachella, a pandemic, and many deaths.
(Q/T) Is coronavirus/COVID-19 a HOAX, Mr. Pompeo? No comment.
Electrification is the cause.
It is also interesting that militaristic Sec'y of State Pompeo said, "We're in a live exercise here" (see video) during a press conference. And dimwit Trump was surprised to hear it, responding: "You should have let us know." Semi-phony psychic Sylvia Brown predicted this pandemic in detail in a book, where she added that it would disappear suddenly and return much later.
If it is caused 5G bombardment, it certainly can stop suddenly, but it will be back because the dream of 5G is too important to the plan to have an "Internet of things," AI, self-driving cars, robotics replacing human workers, and other Orwellian plans.
CONCLUSION: Kanye West didn't seem to know anything, judging from watching the full version of the interview. We label it a hoax. But the others point to coronavirus being something other than what the media propaganda around it suggests. Look into it.
The guys at the Double Toasted podcast discuss the best Netflix series to watch just about every week.

Buddhist nuns travel for the first time: A touching journey through India
Caroline Riegel, global filmmaker, had promised her Buddhist nun (bhikshuni) friends she would travel across India with them. As the seasons go by, they discover for the first time their own country: from India's Himalayas to its Andaman Islands, from chaotic crowds to peaceful prayers, from the isolation of a mountain winter to a globalized life -- most of all, a land far from the India we know.

(Evan Carmichael ft. Scott Carney) Does the Wim Hof Method actually work? #NeverSick, May 6, 2017: Does the "Iceman" Method work? Investigative journalist and author of What Doesn't Kill Us, Scott Carney wanted to debunk Hof. In this episode of How to Never Get Sick Again, we see the results.
What Doesn't Kill Us: How Freezing Water, Extreme Altitude, and Environmental Conditioning Will Renew Our Lost Evolutionary Strength
This New York Times bestseller traces our evolutionary journey back to a time when survival depended on how well we adapted to the environment around us.
Our ancestors crossed deserts, climbed mountains, and traversed oceans without even a whisper of what anyone today might consider modern technology.
Those feats of endurance now seem impossible in an age where we take comfort for granted. But what if we could regain some of our lost evolutionary strength by simulating the environmental conditions of our forebears?
Investigative journalist and anthropologist Scott Carney takes up the challenge to find out: Can we hack our bodies and use the environment to stimulate our inner biology?
Helping him in his search for the answers is Dutch fitness guruWim Hof, whose ability to control his body temperature in extreme cold has sparked a whirlwind of scientific study.
Author Carney also enlists input from an Army scientist, a world-famous surfer, the founders of an obstacle course race movement, and ordinary people who have documented how they have cured autoimmune diseases, lost weight, and reversed diabetes.
In the process, he chronicles his own transformational journey as he pushes his body and mind to the edge of endurance, a quest that culminates in a shirtless, record-breaking, 28-hour climb to the snowy peak of Mt. Kilimanjaro wearing nothing but a pair of running shorts and sneakers.
An ambitious blend of investigative reporting and participatory journalism, What Doesn't Kill Us explores the true connection between the mind and the body and reveals the science that allows us to push past our perceived limitations.More
(TEDx Denmark) Stig Åvall Severinsen was the first person to hold his breath for more than 20 minutes under water, a Guinness world record. He believes that controlling the breath [prana, chi, spiritus, "invisible lifeforce energy," "animating principle"] means controlling our lives.
Stig Severnisen, a Danish freediver and holder of multiple world records, leaves audiences breathless. When he is not training or setting new records, he runs a global business based on his revolutionary concept he calls "Breatheology," aimed at changing the world one breath at a time.
(TEDx Copenhagen) Years later Severnisen is holding his breath longer.
This time around he is not showing how we can breathe better, but what happens when he pushes his body closer to the edge of what is thought to be possible and then a bit beyond. What if we’re closer to this edge than we imagine and going further every single day? Severnisen is a world champion freediver, bestselling author, and holder of multiple world records—among these is the longest freedive under ice, and becoming the first person to ever hold his breath for more than 20 minutes.
COMMENTS
(Julian Hubbard) Awesome story, a little uneven on the presentation, but it should not matter; this guy is the real deal. Stig Severinsen and Wim Hof should get together and compare notes.
(Paxus) If you find this interesting, you'll also find Wim Hof's methods interesting.
(Anders Hass) To the people who think Stig should have credited Wim Hof, I don't see why he should have. They are two different men with two different approaches. They are both pioneers that set new standards which challenge the existing science. While Wim is running a marathon in the desert without water and immersing himself in ice and climbing Mount Everest in shorts and tennis shoes while fighting infections by breathing, Stig is freediving under ice in Speedos, holding his breath for over 22 minutes in -1 degrees C, slowing his heart rate using only his techniques [breath control called pranayama, diet control, yoga] and mind and even skipping heartbeats voluntarily.... Stig comes from the world of freediving, doing this for about 25 years, so I think he stands on his own merits.
TEDx: In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience, where video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized subject to certain rules and regulations.
A student trip to India. A goody two-shoes gal, Emily O'Connor. A delusion that she is a bodhisattva(later developments). A suicide. It's an "Enlightenment Trap"! The existential crisis leads her teacher, Scott Carney, on a search for meaning.
He studies how many Westerners go off the rails in India -- and how many "fake gurus" drive them to it. Like, who the heck is this Wim "The Iceman" Hof?
He has to be fake, the fakest of the fakes. A skeptical journalist goes to Poland to take the training then fights freezing temperatures alongside the fitness guru to test the limits of his own mortality.
Read more about Scott’s adventures with Wim Hof and his record-breaking ascent up Mt. Kilimanjaro in the book What Doesn't Kill Us. See what else Carney is up to on his website.
Of all the concepts central to Buddhism, merit (punna) is one of the least known and least appreciated in the West.
This is perhaps because the pursuit of merit seems to be a lowly practice, focused on getting, whereas higher Buddhist practice focuses on letting go.
Because we in the West often feel pressed for time, we don’t want to waste it on lowly practices, and instead want to go straight to higher levels.
Yet, the Buddha repeatedly warns that the higher levels cannot be practiced in a stable manner unless they develop on a strong foundation...
Karma: Would cash help conventional things?
In the course of developing a wise sense of self in the pursuit of merit, one is already learning how to let go of unwise ways of “selfing”* as one learns to overcome stinginess, apathy, and hard-heartedness through the development of giving, virtue, and good will.
[*Though in an ultimate sense, “self” is illusory and unreal, in conventional terms it is very real, and we need to get a grip before we can hope to successfully embark on the Enlightened One's path to freedom.]

Bravo, I guess all Germans can be funny.
How did North Americans ever catch up to Nazi German scientific advancements -- could it have been Project Paperclip? That's when the American Nazis helped German-born Nazis escape prosecution to come live in the USA and help build the CIA, NAZA NASA, Gestapo Secret Service, chemical and other secret weapons programs, nuclear bombs and missiles... Go figure.
For every reader of the First Folio, from Sir George Greenwood and W.W. Greg to Leah Marcus, the Droeshout portrait of "Shakespeare" has been an unsolved puzzle, symbolic of the disturbing mystery:
Who wrote the Shakespeare canon of plays?
Emerson considered this “the first of all literary questions.” Nor have we solved the riddle of the “To the Reader” on the facing page.
Without an understanding of these blatant challenges, the most knowledgeable follower of “Shakespeare” is kept from the author and how he lived, essential to appreciating any work of art. The key that turns the lock opens the door.
Secrets of the Droeshout Portrait in Shakespeare’s First Folio
The Droeshout portrait, frontispiece of the First Folio, was contrived as a collection of linguistic and visual puns to impart the name and title of the Shakespeare plays’ author, Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford.
The ulterior use of such puns — foreign language, typographical, numerical, and visual — are evident throughout the introductory materials.
Martin Droeshout portrait of "Shakespeare"
Historically, the title page and facing poem have been taken at face value and the anomalies shrugged off.
Consensus belief, commercial promotion, and analytic neglect, perhaps intimidated by tradition, together perpetuated the original deception and gave it credibility by default.More

"The Phone of the Wind"
I can suddenly see unseen beings.
The Tsunami was a terrible thing, and Japan remembers. One seaside village in particular lost the largest number of inhabitants and did something about it. One man set up a phone booth to speak to the dead. News got out. Now a line of people forms daily to reach out to the other side. It is not merely a feelgood exercise.
Two-way communicating with the dead was done at least two times before, in ancient Greece with psychomanteum oracle shrines and in modern America using EMF radio devices. Few tells us about these two objective-subjective tools.
Psychomanteum (necromantic mirror gazing) (Beyond Science, 8/28/18) The ancient practice of slanted mirror gazing was used in ancient Greece. Back then people were very much like us today, pondering the meaning of life and death. Humans wanted answers about what the beyond, the other side of the veil. Mirror gazing has gone mainstream with psychologist Dr. Raymond Moody, who has devoted his life to studying NDEs (near-death experiences). Dr. Moody helped develop specific techniques for creating an atmosphere to conduct mirror-gazing experiences in one's own personal psychomanteum.

The Buddhist way: Meditation
"The dead" are here next to us a few "stations" over on neighboring frequencies.
.
In any case, there is another way that is much better: In Buddhism, what is the most important thing to seeing the unseen, to sensing what is normally invisible, to reach the deceased (pretas, devas, narakas, yakshas, and many others) while living is to clean up the means of seeing -- the heart/mind.
That is done by meditation to purify consciousness, remove the Five Hindrances, and attain a state of clarity.
"The path of purification" is another name for Buddhism. It leads to knowing and seeing in this very life. It leads to more, to the end of all suffering, to the direct realization of the highest truths. The truth sets us free. If we see without being set free by what we know-and-see, we might well regret it.

Pink Floyd, Grateful Dead, Metallica, Radiohead... release unseen and rare footage on YouTube amid COVID-19 lockdown
Pink Floyd, The Grateful Dead, Radiohead, Metallica, Genesis, The National are all releasing unseen, rare or archived material amid this coronavirus lockdown.
The concert footage is scheduled for the bands’ official channels on a weekly basis for fans around the world to enjoy, YouTube announced today. Many of the groups are using this live footage to raise funds and awareness for COVID-19 related causes.
Acts are varied as The National and Genesis are also offering free music as more than a quarter of the world’s population stays at home and the virus death toll climbs to more than 91,000 worldwide.
Radiohead starts April 9 at 5:00 p.m. ET with the first in a series of archived concerts. The opener is a premiere of Dublin - Live From A Tent, recorded in 2000 on the Kid A album tour. Each week, more of the Radiohead Public Archive will be revealed.
Pink Floyd has long been showing short-form videos from its archives every Friday at 12:00 p.m. ET. From April 17, the British band will put out full concert films, starting with the relatively well-known Pulse, recorded in 1994 at the now-demolished venue of Earls Court, London, during The Division Bell Tour.
The National is now live every Monday, promising rare footage to benefit its live crew members after the cancellation of concerts because of the virus.More

Roger Waters: Rolling Stone interview
Rolling Stone spoke with Pink Floyd founder, activist, and stadium-filling solo-artist Roger Waters about fun things like Don Trump and COVID-19, his postponed tour, John Prine, a failed Pink Floyd peace meeting, and aging artists on tour.
(Comment by MD to Terry1Million) "Dogs" [live at Manchester Arena in the summer of 2018] is an absolute masterpiece. I saw Roger Waters in Dublin in 2019. He never puts on a bad show. For me, this song was the highlight, even better than the album version.
LYRICS: "Dogs"
You got to be crazy
you gotta have a real need
You gotta sleep on your toes
and when you're on the street
You got to be able to pick out the easy meat
with your eyes closed
And then moving in silently
down wind and out of sight
You got to strike when the moment is right
without thinking
And after a while
you can work on points for style
Like the club tie
and the firm handshake
A certain look in the eye
and an easy smile
You have to be trusted
by the people that you lie to
So that when they turn their backs on you
You'll get the chance to put the knife in
You gotta keep one eye
looking over your shoulder
You know it's going to get harder
and harder, and harder as you get older
Yeah and in the end you'll pack up
and fly down south
Hide your head in the sand
Just another sad old man
All alone and dying of cancer
And when you lose control
you'll reap the harvest you have sown
And as the fear grows
the bad blood slows and turns to stone
And it's too late to lose the weight
you used to need to throw around
So have a good drown
as you go down all alone
Dragged down by the stone
(stone, stone, stone...)
Gotta admit that I'm a little bit confused
Sometimes it seems to me
as if I'm just being used
Gotta stay awake
gotta try and shake off
this creeping malaise
If I don't stand my own ground
how can I find my way out of this maze
Deaf dumb and blind
you just keep on pretending
That everyone's expendable
and no one has a real friend
And it seems to you the thing to do
would be to isolate the winner
Everything's done under the sun
But you believe at heart
everyone's a killer
Who was born in a house full of pain
Who was trained not to spit in the fan
Who was told what to do by the man
Who was broken by trained personnel
Who was fitted with collar and chain
Who was given a pat on the back
Who was breaking away from the pack
Who was only a stranger at home
Who was ground down in the end
Who was found dead on the phone
Who was dragged down by the stone
Who was dragged down by the stone?
