Fancy yourself a connoisseur of all things weed? Then see whether this trip from ancient China to modern Alaska takes you anywhere unexpected.

What do Sarah Palin, Barack Obama, Justin Bieber, Maya Angelou and well over 100 million Americans all have in common? They’ve all smoked pot. Throughout its history, marijuana has attracted plenty of unexpected users and proponents. And much of the history of greenery is now familiar to us—thanks to History Channel specials, the burgeoning legalization movement and the popularity of anti-pot propaganda films like

Why You’re Spiritual Even If You Don't Know It

Submitted by Galactic Free Press on Thu, 10/09/2014 - 10:59

I used to think that religion was for idiots and spirituality was for hippies. I was a teenager who wanted to believe that the only things that were real, were the things I could see. Perhaps I was spurred on by the fact that my brief stint with Wicca in the 8th grade did not bear the fruits I desired. More likely, being “atheist” was considered cool and I worked desperately to cultivate an air of calculated indifference on these matters. (I failed quite spectacularly at that, by the way. I care too much.) But more than anything, I felt abandoned and wanted to remain depressed.

Like anyone who naturally favors extremes, it was only a matter of time before I exhausted that and came to believe that a power greater than myself may indeed exist. The only problem was that no religion aligned with what I intuitively felt, leading...

Very strong and shallow M7.1 earthquake strikes southern East Pacific Rise

Submitted by Galactic Free Press on Thu, 10/09/2014 - 09:13

A very strong and shallow M7.1 earthquake was registered in the southern East Pacific Rise (Challenger Fracture Zone) on October 9, 2014 at 02:14 UTC. USGS is reporting depth of 15.5km (9.6 miles). The quake was followed by several strong aftershocks. The southern stretch of the East Pacific Rise is one of the fastest-spreading sections of the Earth's mid-ocean ridge system.

Epicenter was located 565 km (351 miles) SSW of Hanga Roa, capital of the Chilean province of Easter Island, and 3 426 km (2 129 miles) W of Lebu, Chile.

There are no people living within 100 km radius.

A tsunami wave amplitude of 0.47 m at Easter Island was reported by the Chilean Navy. (PTWC)

Two M-class solar flares erupted from southwest quadrant

Submitted by Galactic Free Press on Thu, 10/09/2014 - 09:13

Two M-class solar flares erupted from Region 2182 early Thursday, October 9, 2014. The first event started at 01:30, peaked at 01:41 UTC as M1.3 solar flare and ended at 01:47.

The second M-class erupted immediately after the M1.3.

It started at 01:54, peaked at 01:58 as M1.4 and ended at 02:02 UTC.

Region 2182 has 'beta' magnetic configuration and is located in the southwest quadrant. More information about those two events will be available after the analysis is complete.

NOAA SWPC forecasters estimate 5% chance for M-class and 1% chance for X-class solar flares in the next three days.

Sunspots

There are currently 5 numbered sunspot regions on the disk. Region 2186 (S19E60, Cso/beta) exhibited growth as it rotated onto the visible disk yesterday. All other regions were either stable or in decay. None of them currently poses a threat for strong eruptions.

Stanford Scientists Observe Man Travel Out Of His Body And Into Space – What He Saw Was Remarkable

NASA’s Pioneer 10 spacecraft was launched into space in 1972. It was the the very first spacecraft to fly directly through the asteroid belt and make observations of the biggest planet in our solar system, Jupiter. It was also able to obtain close up images of the planet, something that scientists had never had access to before. (1)

Prior to the flyby of Jupiter by Pioneer 10, the CIA and NSA in conjunction with Stanford University were involved in what was called “Remote Viewing.”  Remote viewing can be defined in multiple ways. It’s the ability of individuals t...

While Americans comprise only 5 percent of the world population, we consume an incredible 50 percent of Big Pharma’s drugs, as explained in Jeff Hays’ documentary film, Doctored. Make no mistake. These drugs are meant to keep us imprisoned in poor health, not heal us. It’s time to kick the drug habit America. Tell the drug pushers – Merck, Pfizer, Novartis, Roche, GlaxoSmith Kline, Abbott, Astra-Zeneca, Amgen, Eli Lilly, Bristol-Myers Squibb, and Sanofi (along with the FDA and CDC) that you are going cold turkey, a...

Which Country Does The Most Good For The World?

This is actually a very difficult question, since nations are currently not being evaluated based on the good they are doing for the world by anyone other than Simon Anholt. According to him in his video presentation below, the answer is Ireland. All too frequently, we see nations ignore the science and the experts in the name of short term financial gain. A great example is Japan reinvesting in nuclear reactors while the Fukushima crisis has still not been resolved, even years after its meltdown.

We see environmental problems coming together to threaten the biosphere itself, all while nations are not even managing to refrain from defending the biggest ecological and economic criminals. The pollution in China is so bad that citizens are buying imported bags of air. In fact, in many instances the very institutions doing the most damage are also benefiting from subsidies and bigger budg...

The days of bulky, expensive solar panels that were heavy and required harsh chemicals to produce and a lot of labor to install may be coming to an end. Scientists in Australia have been able to produce the largest ever printed solar cells using a newly developed solar cell printer. Yes, they are printing solar cells.

The cells are flexible, cheap, and made from organic plastics and materials.

According to scientist Dr Scott Watkins, printing cells on such a large scale opens up a huge range of possibilities for pilot applications:

“There are so many things we can do with cells this size[...]We can set them into ad...
