Two new studio complexes are being built http://www.motorcityfilmstudios.com/ in Detroit, could it become the new Hollywood? Entire Skyscrapers can be bought for a few million.
The state of Michigan is giving a 40% cash credit on all money spent for film and video production, including salaries and wages. This is an irresistable incentive and companies are cancelling production elswhere to move there.
Had problems with You Tube video for several days which would stop playing for 15 - 30 seconds and then start again.
Wondered is it You Tube servers or ISP (Comcast)?
Did speed tests there were fluctuations but plenty of bandwidth for the video. Everything else but You Tube had a crisp response.
Switched cable to backup DSL (AT&T) which is much slower than the cable connection. Many people would not be able to do this type of test usually only having one provider at a house.
The You Tube problem went away. Which means it was not the PC, or You Tube servers, but having to do with packet transport.
So this shows that Comcast was ruining the You Tube experience for sure.
whether they are intentionally throttling or not is not is still a question.
Doing a trace route we can see issue for sure poor network engineering. Comcast 8 hops to Washington DC & Va, AT&T 4 hops to Chicago. It could also be that Comcast is routing it packets some intelligence agency packet sniffing hub which is causing the delay.
What is interesting is that there are many natural compounds available now. The drug companies spend a lot of money attempting to copy nature. They try to come up with a slight alteration that allows them to patent a "new" molecule that achieves the same effect as a natural compound.
Common sense would have us just use the natural compounds but the Medical Industry is not interested because of the low profit margins. So they market that which brings the most revenue not what may be in the best interest of the consumer.
Here is a collection of easy to read technical articles and the related chemistry on a number of cognitive enhancers that are already available. http://intelegen.com/nutrients/index.htm#Cognitive_Enhancers/ [intelegen.com]

We live with systems based on fictions and it is time for the truth to prevail.
No govenment, army or police power can stop 100 million people acting in unity.
We need to transfer power to the collective eliminting egoic intentions and special interests from warping insitituions, industries, and professions.
Paramount to the success of the collective is the preservation of the liberties of the individual, the freedom of expression and the pursuit of happiness with no fear of persecution. For it is the pioneer, radical, outcast, eccentric, rebel, non-conformist, and those that question the status quo that are essential to the evolution of mankind, the collective, being they are the impetus for change, discovery, and invention needed to adapt and evolve
The greatest threat to our nation is secret police powers because it allows a small group of people to take control of the government and eliminate any opposition. It is a much greater threat than any of the fictional threats.
Allowing small group of people that benefit disproportionably to the many, to create an indentured servitude is not patriotic, fighting it is. The maintaining of the separation of powers, protecting the Bill of Rights, and the Constitution as well as defending them is the is the ultimate Patriotic Act.
It is time for transfer of power from the few to the many, the wise (conservative) and those that value freedom (liberal), and those that value both, (party free independents for collective control).
Laws of changed such that we have become cattle simply to be herded and this is most unpatriotic.
I have written about this idea before but with a more formal approach. There is no techinical reason 1+ million people could not decide to build their own consumer owned and operated mesh network. Each individual supporting a part of the infrastructure. One or two hundred spent on a piece of hardware and the electric or solar to power it. Obviously it would eliminate a need for at least a portion of the corporate owned infrastructure.
It really is not a question of if, but when we can unify to do it. It would be a natural evolution of our infrastructure and much more efficient with no middle men.
Eventually there will be a transfer of control from the few in power to the collective power which will engineer special interests, imbalance, and inefficiency out of the system.
Perhaps we should eliminate the systems and the environment that creates criminals. Not to mention the laws that create them.
This sounds like a way for a few thousand people to control the subservient millions and remove those that do not conform, especially those of above average intelligence that can question things.
The aim, by those few that benefit to the detriment of the many, would be to have a hidden unity in government allowing centralized control, a unity that would obfuscated by the appearance of division creating the illusion of choice and the will of the people.
In other words at the top the two parties are really unified as one, unified by The hidden third party with it's special interests, and finite self serving agenda. The third party's agenda is to secure for itself disproportionate advantage and benefits, and create, maintain, and preserve various profit centers in the current system of things. Fictional conservatism which is often linked to maintaining the ways of the past, is all about impeding the evolution and enhanced efficiency of the systems that would eliminate high value profit centers.
Fictional issues are used to keep the people divided and power-less. This gives the few acting in unity more power than all the people who are engaged in ideological conflict with each other in a bath of mind fluff.
Liberalism = Freedom
Conservatism = Wisdom
There is no conflict between the two; they compliment each other, we have only the appearance of conflict born of the fictions and story lines attached to each label.
One would expect a successful representation of the people to provide personal and economic freedom that benefits the many. Yet the citizens have the loss of both to the benefit of a few resulting from the ability to divide the people amongst themselves with fictional issues.
So we have "The Third Party" cloaked and hidden by the other two, a single unified group using the two parties as it's hands but for sure they are one body and one mind.
The reality is the Democrats and Republicans are not opposed to each other but are two hands controlled by the same body and egoic mind.
Yet this third party is not totally hidden, it can be seen wearing a mask of lobbyists, and only the discerning and aware mind can see the face behind the mask.
One can only hope to chop off the head of this political beast, the hidden third party with the dissemination of intelligence, insight and wisdom. So that a new head forms, one born from the measured and authenticated voice of an informed people, guided by compassion, collective intent, wisdom and effort, preserving the freedom of the individual to spur the evolution of mankind and it's systems.
The terrorist threat is a created perceptual threat. Based on our current vulnerabilities that exist and have existed for decades, and all the money spent for security has left them wide open, there can't really an intelligent organized terrorist organization because if there were such a thing they would have taken advantage of the vulnerabilities and shut the country long ago.
In fact the most ingenious way to do it would only require the mass distribution of a single email and letters to the media to put a single thought into everyone's mind. They would not even need to have actually done what is said in the email; just knowing that it was possible would be enough to send the country into chaos.
We actually came up with this developing a script for a movie but decided against putting the idea into the public domain.
I really think if we work in unity there can be peace, prosperity and abundance for all and an end to violent conflict. There are only a small percentage of people that cause all the worlds problems.
Maybe their is hope that we the people can defeat the few that benefit to the detriment of the many.
It is all about awareness and unity.
Spying and secracy does not really protect National Security.
The actuality is this spying capability is a threat to national security in that it allows a few people in control to shut down any political opposition.
These mistakes just don't happen. I have worked on enough billing systems to understand them. Data doesn't appear randomly by accident it always has a source.
The time has come where companies need to pay for the labor spent by consumers to get problems resolved I am thinking it should be about 1.00 per minute.
The citizen consumer needs to organize ourselves as consumers to stand up against the few that benefit to the detriment of the many?
The citizen consumer is the most powerful group if we are not divided by the fictions that those who benefit create to divide us.
If we all simply decide not to pay the cable bill this month, they are instantly doomed because the are dependant on the cash flow.
It is that simple
We need to redesign the systems designed to create and maintain an indentured servitude.
I would suggest that the revolution start here but as we can see there are members of industry in government with slash dot accounts that try to mod down awareness creating posts or try to label one as a troll.
Sometimes it might come down to what scientific perspective is the most profitable.
Scientists are fond of coming up with things that need to be researched to create work. Sometimes it is bogus stuff.
The researcher of course, if he discovers a cure, is out of a job, so they are always looking for that cure just around the corner. The truth is we already have it but it is not that profitable, rather we need a pill they can pop and we can patent.
Quite often the so called scientific bodies and organizations are funded by industry and they tend to reflect the bias of the funding entities. Like the cereal companies that funded the determination of the RDA or MDR. We can see the problem of pseudo science in that the RDA for Vitamin C for laboratory monkeys is much higher than the one for humans. Because sick monkeys are not profitable the reverse of what is found with sick humans.
Is that like self-policing medical industry that has us treating the symptoms of disease, creating long term revenue flows rather than promoting the information to end the cause of disease?
Or what about the Self policing banking industry and the current situation? A group that privately owns and controls the symbol we use to represent value?
An expert is someone who has thoroughly researched the topical material regarding a particular area. This means anyone can become an expert on a subject if they invest the time. WE all now have access to most of the same data and research.
Who certifies an expert? There is no process right now other than popular opinion.
Genius is not born of conformity or alignment with the status quo.
and the politicization of science results in pseudo science
Yes we do need to build a wisdom based economy. An Independent subscriber based intelligence service, or perhaps with anonymous advertising such as Google is what would benefit the consumer.
Dissemination of intelligence to help transcend the ignorance and providing something informative for the decision making process and redesign of the worlds systems with participation in Self Government.
Transparent Government and Industry is what is needed. The largest criminal enterprises which create the petty criminal and the extremists use industry and government. The most damaging crimes are committed with a pen not a gun.
A transparent society where industry and government can spy and know all information about the citizens and consumers would allow government and industry to crush any opposition to the criminal enterprise or status quo.
It is our collective ignorance and current system design that creates an environment conducive to the production of criminals and extremists.
Criminals and extremists create huge profit centers for business.
Fear may be the biggest generator of income creating fictional needs and an artificial economy.
If someone one can create fear in your mind and then provide some solution to eliminate that fear, then they have a sale.
A no or low cost Autonomous consumer owned telecommunication infrastructure is what will evolve out of this. No more cable, internet, or cell phone bills.
People often use the word "we" to support the validity of an argument as if a plurality of individuals signify the correctness of something. Usually it is based on an assumption that others are in alignment with their thought. Yet it usually turns out they did not consult query or survey any number of people to make that statement. In history we find the plurality of individuals, the status quo are often wrong. Of course only the author knows what it was they intended to be conveyed so I can't say.
Most of the world as we were taught and conditioned to think is fiction because certain people and groups benefit from certain choices of perception and perspectives.
add that we don't directly perceive the world in any way at all. Things we "see" are just our brains' reactions to incoming light and, combines with the rest of our senses, we surmise what reality actually is. Yes, I totally agree with that, and would add light simply carries data, and can be used to modify data.
