New potential financial disaster for Britain
I just sent emails with this approximate text to various British politicians including Nick Clegg and Ben Bradshaw:
I'm emailing you directly because I'm very worried about a new potential financial disaster for Britain. Looming on the horizon is the question how the changeover to Universal Credit will be handled. If benefit claimants receive their money a little bit earlier than usual because of the changeover there will be no particular worries. On the other hand, if claimants receive their money a bit later than usual there is a potential disaster as enormous numbers of people across the country would then have a shortfall in paying their rent, their credit card repayments, their many other bills and outgoings. The knock-on effect of this would affect banks, credit companies, landlords and every part of the country's economy. It seems to me that there are still a few months in which to avoid disaster.
Sincerely,
Peter D. Smith, Exeter, Devon.

Hummadruz
I was just reading about hummadruz on the Northern Earth website and I think I may have the answer. The info about the phenomenon is here:
http://www.northernearth.co.uk/permhum.htm
And here's my (possible) solution:
Probably caused by a person developing a freak sensitivity to their own nervous system. Hearing the low hum which comes from the electricity in the human nervous system vibrating below the lowest notes on a piano.
The nervous system's electrical activity vibrates in the range of 0.5 Hz up to frequencies sometimes in excess of 33 Hz. The lowest musical note on an 88 key piano keyboard is 27.5 Hz (lowest 'A' note - sub-contra-octave) which sounds very low and dark and mysterious but in terms of the human nervous system that note is a very high rate of human electricity. We only get up to that sort of frequency during hyperactivity or anxiety. These frequencies are called "High Beta". So the rest of our electrical activity, when we aren't hyperactive or anxious is in the range of the ELF (Extremely Low Frequency). For instance, one octave below the lowest note on the 88-key piano would be a note of 'A' vibrating at about 13.75 Hz, which is smack dab on the borderline between Alpha and Beta waves. Alpha is when the nervous system is dreaming or meditating, Beta is normal, everyday consciousness which focusses on work and ordinary things. A chromatic musical scale of 13 notes from a note of 'A' at that borderline of Alpha/Beta extends upward, culminating in a top 'A' which is the lowest key on the piano.
Human hearing is able to hear down as low as about 16 hz, which is within the Beta range. So we cannot actually hear sound a low as Alpha waves, but we can sense them as rhythmic feelings.
This information is helpful in terms of sensing within a room or a space of some kind. Also helpful with understanding the use of hymns in church or the Sanskrit 'OM'. Nervous system states vibrating at rates lower than Alpha level are into Theta, which is about 4 to 7 hz and is the level of Shamanic trances, deep meditation and sleep.

Please Don't Vote UKIP
I can't believe that bloody UKIP are gaining more votes. This is very worrying. I mean they're idiots! We need the European Union. I know the EU has faults but abandoning Europe isn't the answer. I can only see three reasonable directions for us to go in: (1) We stay in the EU and push for major reforms to make the EU democratic and accountable or (2) We talk to some other disenchanted EU member countries and form our own, breakaway, European Union which will be democratic and accountable from the beginning. Little by little we would win over the remaining EU states and, in the end, it will have been a velvet revolution for Europe or (3) I suppose there's the EFTA. What would happen if we were in EFTA instead of EU? Most people I've spoken to in Britain don't seem to be aware that EFTA exists or what the issues are. The EFTA people claim that EFTA countries are richer than EU countries and the people richer within EFTA states. However, Iceland is an EFTA country and they don't seem to be doing too well, do they? It's a question of who to believe. And I mean, what's the alternative? UKIP would destroy us AND Europe by taking us back to the days when European disputes were settled by fighting wars.
We need Europe, one way or another. Please don't vote for UKIP.
A few years ago I spoke to some UKIP people who had a stall in Exeter High Street. I had a big row with them. The bloody idiots thought we should "keep the traditional British Pound". I had to break it to them, not so gently, that we can't keep the "traditional British Pound" because we got rid of that in 1971 when we decimalised it into a Euro-Pound with 100 pennies instead of 20 shillings. The bloody idiots are trying to lock the stable door after we've sold the horse for scrap. And the Euro-Pound with 100 pence makes much more sense than than the old 240 pence model. The Euro-Pound makes it easier to trade with other decimal based currencies such as Canada and the USA.
UKIP are just exploiting people's ignorance.

Judge Orders Conspiracy Re-Education For Lauryn Hill
From Prison Planet ( http://www.prisonplanet.com ):
Singer told to undergo counseling over ‘conspiracy theory’ that music industry strangles real talent Paul Joseph Watson Prison Planet.com May 8, 2013 Grammy award-winning singer Lauren Hill has been ordered by a judge to “undergo counseling because of her conspiracy theories.” What was her conspiracy theory? That the music industry oppresses people with actual talent in favor of pumping out mindless nonsense. Yesterday Hill was sentenced to 3 months in jail followed by three months’ home confinement after failing to pay a tax bill because she had withdrawn from society following threats to her family. In June last year, Hill posted a diatribe to her Tumblr account complaining of how the music industry is “manipulated and controlled by a media protected military industrial complex.” As we’ve highlighted numerous times in the past, other recording artists have made it clear that anyone who doesn’t conform to the strict demands of the music industry or even, as Nicole Scherzinger recently remarked, sell their soul to satan, tends to find success hard to maintain in an industry that punishes individuals who dare to speak their mind. In numerous performances and speeches over the last few years, Hill has attempted to warn young people about how “pop culture cannibalism” and the deliberate reductionism of art and music is damaging a whole generation and turning them into passive, unthinking consumers – destroying inspiration and true creativity in the name of profit. The Judge’s order that Hill undergo what amounts to brainwashing and re-education simply for publicly proclaiming the fact that the music industry is designed to strangle true talent while promoting amoral, vacuous, mindless, turgid drivel, is part of the increasing trend towards labeling common sense as a mental illness if it goes against the establishment grain in any way. Since people who post vehement political opinions on Facebook are already being kidnapped and taken to psychiatric wards across the country, how long before criticism of the state is officially recognized as a mental disorder? Those considered hostile to authority have already been tagged as sufferers of “oppositional defiant disorder” under the the DSM-IV-TR Manual. The definition of this mental illness is, “a recurrent pattern of negativistic, defiant, disobedient. and hostile behavior toward authority figures that persists for at least 6 months.” The attempt to frame alternative opinions as dangerous mental disorders has also entered the political realm. In 2009, Psychology Today wrote a hit piece on Alex Jones insinuating that anyone who believes in a secret cabal ruling the world, which is a perfectly accurate description of the Bilderberg Group, has a mental disorder. We also reported recently on how Floridians are being encouraged to report their neighbors to authorities for making hateful comments about the government, leaving them to be targeted for home visits by police and “mental health professionals and caseworkers.” Lauren Hill’s case reminds us that the establishment not only seeks to ridicule, ostracize and sideline those who utter “conspiracy theories,” which has become a pejorative term for questioning authority, but they actually seek to have all dissent against the system classified as a form of mental illness in order to grease the skids for legally imposed “treatment” including re-education and even pharmacological lobotomy.
Most ridiculous court sentence I've heard recently. How the hell do they imagine a sentence like that is going to make Lauryn believe less in conspiracy. The draconian and manipulative nature of the sentence is straight out of some dystopian brainwash novel. Remember how Lauryn and The Fugees first became famous with "The Score"? It was all about refugees and fighting the the oppressive system. Then they set up their own refugee charity. Lauryn and Wyclef and their group have worked hard against that oppressive system and now it's trying to clamp down on them. This only exposes more conspiracy.
