Greek Researchers Show Crucial Regions of the Brain Related to Learning, Memory, Alzheimer’s Impacted by Whole Body EMF Exposure in Animals

By Emily

A Greek scientific study led by Adamantia Fragopoulou and Lukas Margaritis has demonstrated important protein changes in the brain of animals following whole body exposure to RF electromagnetic fields, similar to the kind of microwave radiation emitted from cell phones, portable phones, WiFi and wireless computer equipment. The study, “Brain proteome response following whole body exposure of mice to mobile phone or wireless DECT base radiation”, was published in Electromagnetic Biology and Medicine, Early Online: 1–25, 2012 (See Abstract ).

Transcript of Catherine's 1.19.12 Interview of Lynne McTaggart Available to Subscribers

A transcript of Catherine’s January 19, 2012 interview of Lynne McTaggart is now available to Solari Report Subscribers!

From the transcript:

Catherine: Let me turn to our interview with Lynne McTaggart. As I said before, I interviewed Lynne earlier this week from London. She’s the author of a series of books: The Field, then The Intention Experiment, and finally her most recent, The Bond, subtitled “Connecting through the Space Between Us.” Lynne has done a remarkable job or translating very important and cutting edge scientific research and making it not only possible for the lay reader to understand it, but integrating research from many different fields to help us understand how this research applies to our everyday life, and it’s really a remarkable achievement.

And her work really picks up on some of the conversations we had last year with Adam Trombly, Dr. William Tiller, and Foster Gamble, the producer of Thrive. With no further ado, let us now begin the interview with Lynne McTaggart.

Planning For Failure - Strategies to Protect Yourself in 2012

Strategic initiatives to protect yourself from security breaches

By Rick Holland

Last week I did a webcast, Planning for Failure, which makes the assumption that if you haven’t been breached, it is inevitable, and you must be able to quickly detect and respond to incidents. An effective response can be the difference between your organisation’s recovery and future success or irreparable damage. While I was working on the slides for the webcast, I started to reflect back on the 2011 security breaches that personally impacted me. Three breaches immediately came to mind:

1. Texas Teacher Retirement System – My personal data was stored unencrypted on a public server.
2. Epsilon – Email compromise that resulted in increased phishing attempts.
3. STRATFOR – My personal information, credit card and password hash were stolen.

Transcript of 1.12.12 Precious Metals Market Report Available to Subscribers

A transcript of the January 12, 2012 Precious Metals Market Report is now available to Solari Report Subscribers!

From the transcript:

Catherine: Okay. Well, let’s start just with the current market and then let’s head into 2011 and take a look at what happened last year.

Franklin: Well, the current market is is that it appears that silver and gold have finished their correction and let me see if I can lay out the significance of this. The whole time from February 2001 to March 2008 was spent in gold making its first leg up. That’s the long slow part of a bull market. So it went from $256 to $1,003, which is roughly a four-fold increase; gave up 30%; went back $705 and then has advanced ever since then from $705 up to the closing high of $1,888 last August. So that leg from 2008 till last August was the first leg of the third leg up, and it was the first small leg of the third leg up. And you see by way of contrast how much more volatile the market is in a third wave and that’s what we’ve seen in the last year.

The Summers Memo

By Ryan Lizza – The New Yorker 23 Jan 12

In a piece this week on Barack Obama’s shift from idealism to pragmatism, I describe an important fifty-seven-page document from Lawrence Summers to President-elect Barack Obama dated December 15, 2008:

Marked “Sensitive and Confidential,” the document, which has never been made public, presents Obama with the scale of the crisis. “The economic outlook is grim and deteriorating rapidly,” it said. The U.S. economy had lost two million jobs that year; without a government response, it would lose four million more in the next year. Unemployment would rise above nine per cent unless a significant stimulus plan was passed. The estimates were getting worse by the day.

This document is the ur-text of economic policymaking for the Obama Administration. Given the importance of this issue for understanding the past few years, I’m making the full document available below. (Click on the arrows in the lower left corner to expand.) I hope it ignites a lively debate.

Fed Expects to Keep Interest Rates Near Zero

By Don Lee

The Federal Reserve announces a subdued outlook for growth in the U.S. economy, as well as its intention to keep short-term interest rates near zero through late 2014.

The Federal Reserve said it is likely to leave short-term interest rates at rock-bottom levels at least through late 2014, giving businesses and consumers much more time to borrow money cheaply and bolster a slowly recovering economy.

Bernanke Makes Case for More Bond Buying

By Caroline Salas Gage and Craig Torres

Ben S. Bernanke laid the groundwork for a third round of large-scale asset purchases should unemployment remain higher than the Federal Reserve would like while inflation falls below a newly-established target.

The Federal Open Market Committee “recognizes the hardships imposed by high and persistent unemployment in an underperforming economy, and it is prepared to provide further monetary accommodation,” Bernanke said yesterday at a press conference in Washington.

Davos Elites to Seek Reforms of 'Outdated' Capitalism

Economic and political elites meeting this week at the Swiss resort of Davos will be asked to urgently find ways to reform a capitalist system that has been described as “outdated and crumbling.”

“We have a general morality gap, we are over-leveraged, we have neglected to invest in the future, we have undermined social coherence, and we are in danger of completely losing the confidence of future generations,” said Klaus Schwab, host and founder of the annual World Economic Forum.
Solving problems in the context of outdated and crumbling models will only dig us deeper into the hole.
