Outrage is growing across Connecticut as residents face massive spikes in their electricity bills, with some seeing increases of hundreds or even thousands of dollars. There is a petition calling on Governor Ned Lamont to revoke "public benefits" charges and for PURA to reverse a recent rate hike. It comes after State Republicans called for a special session earlier this month to find better solutions and take the pressure off ratepayers. We got perspective from Rep. Jonathan Steinberg, co-chair of the Energy & Technology Committee, about the issue at hand and whether a special session will happen. Image Credit: Getty Images

Energy bills in Connecticut are causing anger and frustration for all. Chaz and AJ spoke with Scott Pearson, the organizer of the online petition with over 18,000 signatures. Vince Candelora also talked about a planned response from Republicans today around noon, and Jonathan Steinberg, the House Chair of the Legislature's Energy & Technology Committee explained how this came to be.  Image Credit: monkeybusinessimages / iStock / Getty Images Plus

Sean bienvenidos a un nuevo directo en mi canal de Twitch que será luego colgado en video en mi canal de Odysee y también en formato audio en Ivoox. Allí como siempre tendrán en la descripción del podcast todos los enlaces de los artículos, videos y textos citados. Así es como empece la entradilla el dia 19 de octubre de 2023 pero a la media hora mi cuenta de Twitcht fue volatilizada y me he enterado que tanto LBRY como Odysee van a cerrar y mi cuenta va a desaparecer. No se si habrás logrado ver este video o tan solo escuchado el audio en Ivoox pero desde luego eres parte de eso que algunos denominan “la resistencia”. Ya saben que desde buscadores de la verdad huimos de la fragilidad de comentar la actualidad ya que esta es volátil y normalmente desaparece en cuanto nuevos pedazos de actualidad son vomitados por los medios masivos. Acabamos de olvidar la guerra de Ucrania porque las potencias mundiales tienen un nuevo juguete que se llama guerra de Gaza. En este caso voy a tocar de refilón todo lo que está pasando entre israelíes y palestinos para hablar sobre como nos engañan con las guerras fake y las falsas banderas. Por supuesto en todas las guerras mueren personas y se producen atrocidades a las que no deberíamos acostumbrarnos nunca. Voy a empezar con unas frases de Thierry Meyssan de su artículo “Cambio de paradigma en Palestina” ya que creo que es uno de los que mejor describen la complejidad de lo que sucede en Palestina y todos los actores que intervienen: “El sangriento conflicto iniciado en la Palestina geográfica se produce luego de 75 años de injusticias igualmente sangrientas. A la luz del Derecho Internacional, los palestinos tienen derecho –tanto como el deber– de oponer resistencia a la ocupación israelí. Los israelíes, por su parte, tienen igualmente derecho a responder a la agresión. Al mismo tiempo, nosotros tenemos, todos, la responsabilidad de ayudar a resolver las injusticias que sufren las dos partes, lo cual no quiere decir que apoyemos las crueldades y venganzas que cometen algunos individuos de ambos bandos. Por otro lado, el apoyo que merecen los pueblos palestino e israelí, no debe conducir a la impunidad de sus dirigentes respectivos por los crímenes que hayan cometido, como tampoco debe traducirse en impunidad para las potencias que los manipulan.” Hay que dejar claro desde el principio que tal como dice el sr Meyssan “la franja de Gaza es gobernada por el Hamas, la rama palestina de la Hermandad Musulmana. Los gobernantes de Gaza son individuos que no ven en el islam una forma de espiritualidad sino un arma de conquista, son asalariados, principalmente, del Reino Unido, de Qatar, de Israel, de Turquía, Irán y la Unión Europea.” Recordar a nuestros oyentes que la Hermandad Musulmana fue fundada en Egipto en 1928 por el jeque Hasán al Bana en plena construcción del canal de Suez cuando Egipto estaba lleno de extranjeros para dicha construcción. “Constructores”, ya saben, muchos de ellos masones. “En el momento de su creación, Hamas estaba financiado por el Reino Unido y tuvo el apoyo de los servicios secretos de Israel, deseoso de utilizarlo para debilitar el movimiento creado por Yaser Arafat. Israel asesinó después al líder religioso del Hamas, el jeque Yasin.” El antiguo aliado de Israel, “el Hamas palestino atacó Israel, el 7 de octubre de 2023, a las 6 de la mañana, o sea en ocasión del 50º aniversario de la “Guerra de octubre de 1973”, conocida en Occidente bajo la denominación israelí de “Guerra del Yom Kippur”.” Tenerse que creer que una de las fronteras mejor vigiladas del mundo haya sido asaltada sin prácticamente oposición y precisamente en dicho 50 aniversario es bastante ridículo, pero es que no solo han ido por mar y tierra, o utilizado el clásico lanzamiento de cohetes, esta vez debemos creer que se han introducido mediante parapentes motorizados. Curiosamente en la portada de The Economist de diciembre de 2012, hace 11 años exactos, vemos el uso de este sistema de ataque aéreo arriba del todo. Allí se están enfrentando palestinos e israelíes en medio del control del mundo por parte de los demonios. No dejen de ver esta portada. Debemos creernos que uno de los ejércitos mejor entrenados del mundo tenia solo a unos pocos soldados profesionales y un montón de gente haciendo la mili en las cercanías de dicha frontera y que el Mossad, uno de los servicios secretos mas eficaces, hizo caso omiso a pocos días del ataque a las advertencias del gobierno egipcio que había hablado en repetidas ocasiones con los israelíes sobre "algo grande", al igual que por parte de algunos rabinos ultraortodoxos. La inteligencia estadounidense advirtió la posibilidad de violencia días antes del ataque de Hamas y tampoco fue escuchada y recordemos que el ataque se produjo en el 50º aniversario de la “Guerra del Yom Kippur”, una fecha que obviamente tendrían ambos bandos señalada en el calendario. Según una investigación de CNN, los combatientes se entrenaron para el ataque en al menos seis lugares de Gaza, incluido uno situado a menos de un kilómetro y medio de la frontera con Israel. El sistema de alarma en la frontera no funcionó. Las cientos de cámaras que deben estar constantemente operativas parece que no vieron como se colaban centenares de terroristas a una hora donde ya se veía perfectamente, incluso no vieron la llegada de alguna excavadora gigante o el sonido de los enormes camiones que también utilizaron. Los sistemas electrónicos en la frontera, en cuya construcción y equipamiento Israel había invertido miles de millones de dólares, quedaron inútiles. Numerosas cámaras y sensores tampoco ayudaron a detectar y detener el ataque palestino, así como las patrullas de combate, que por alguna razón simplemente no estaban cerca. Los drones palestinos pudieron alcanzar fácilmente ametralladoras automáticas y torres de sensores, y los equipos de asalto de Hamás volaron tranquilamente la valla y cruzaron la frontera. Se ve perfectamente en algunos videos como no hay nadie en las torres de vigilancia mientras son bombardeadas con un dron. Nadie intenta atacarlos. Debido al fallo de la alarma, cientos de soldados de las FDI murieron en los campos, en los cuarteles y mientras dormían. Contrariamente a la creencia popular, los palestinos no pasaron por alto las fortificaciones y bases de las FDI. Asaltaron agresivamente tanto los puestos de control como las bases donde se encontraban soldados y vehículos blindados. Al mismo tiempo, Hamás dejó de utilizar los tanques que tenia al alcance, probablemente debido a la baja cualificación de los atacantes o tal vez a la falta de necesidad. Hay videos de los terroristas en medio de mas de media docena de tanques vacíos. Aún no está claro dónde se encontraban en aquel momento los centinelas, los guardias de seguridad y las fuerzas de cobertura. Hasta aproximadamente el mediodía del 7 de octubre, el gobierno israelí prácticamente no mostró respuesta a los combates. Tardaron siete largas horas en plantarle cara a estos terroristas que como decía el artículo de la CNN llevaban mas de 2 años planificando los ataques. La Sexta nos mostraba el otro dia campos de entrenamiento a cielo abierto pegados a la frontera israelí ensayando las técnicas de secuestros masivos a plena luz del día. ¡Sí, el telecreyente se lo traga todo hoy dia! Incluso se ha descubierto que portaban planos de las bases militares y del entorno del ataque. El Rabino Chananya Weisman afirmó que “Benjamin Netanyahu ordenó al ejército israelí que se retirara durante siete horas durante la invasión de Hamas”. En el campo es sábado por la mañana, Shabat. Sólo a las 14 o 15 horas las fuerzas de seguridad comenzaron a reunir reservistas y a organizar redadas de represalia. Sin embargo, la muerte del comandante de la brigada de infantería Nahal, Jonathan Steinberg, indica una reacción apresurada con fuerzas que de alguna manera pudieron reunirse de inmediato. Al parecer, la intervención de Nahal en las batallas contra Hamás fue iniciada por el comandante de la brigada y no fue una orden directa del Estado Mayor. Posiblemente no sabia nada de los planes que alguien había decidido para aquel dia. En cuanto al ataque de la fiesta hippie en el Kibbutz Re’im justo en la zona donde se llevaron a cabo los ataques y donde supuestamente al menos 280 participantes fueron violados y masacrados toca decir que solo tres días antes de dicha celebración se supo la zona de celebración acercándola a la frontera de Gaza. El evento SUPERNOVA SUKKOT | 06-07.10 | UNIVERSO PARALELO ISRAEL EDITION fue creado el 21 de junio en la web TRIBE of Nova y como digo no se supo la localización del evento hasta el dia 4 de octubre. En la web de dicho evento podíamos leer: “Crearás un entorno seguro para encontrar la calma interior, la paz, la armonía, el equilibrio mental, la liberación de tensiones o preocupaciones innecesarias, descansar o simplemente relajarte divirtiéndote con personas especiales y enriqueciéndote a ti mismo de una manera nueva y refrescante.” Un evento con unas 3000 personas situado a menos de 4 kilómetros de la valla que separa los territorios de Gaza, en medio de una zona desértica sin ningún soldado israelí vigilando en la zona, tan solo algunos miembros de seguridad privada. Eso era un entorno seguro para esta gente. ¿Y qué opina parte de la opinión pública israelí tras este entrecomillas “ataque sorpresa” de Hamas? Pues según el Jerusalem Post “Los israelíes culpan al gobierno por la masacre de Hamás y dicen que Netanyahu debe dimitir”. “Cuatro de cada cinco judíos israelíes creen que el gobierno y el primer ministro Benjamín Netanyahu son los culpables de la infiltración masiva de terroristas de Hamas en Israel y la masacre que siguió, según una nueva encuesta del Centro de Diálogo publicada el jueves. Una abrumadora mayoría: el 86% de los encuestados, incluido el 79% de los partidarios de la coalición, dijo que el ataque sorpresa desde Gaza es un fracaso del liderazgo del país , mientras que un asombroso 92% dijo que la guerra está causando ansiedad. Además, casi todos los encuestados (94%) creen que el gobierno debe asumir alguna responsabilidad por la falta de preparación en materia de seguridad que condujo al ataque, y más del 75% dice que el gobierno tiene la mayor parte de la responsabilidad.” Para nosotros todo esto es una nueva falsa bandera, un nuevo 11S, para salirse con la suya dentro de las Estrategias de Manipulación de las que hablaba Noam Chomsky. Crear problemas y después ofrecer soluciones. Este método también es llamado "problema-reacción-solución". En este caso parece que se buscaban tres soluciones finales: La primera sería lograr superar el bache político en el que está envuelto el primer ministro Benjamín Netanyahu por la polémica reforma judicial, que tiene el objetivo de reducir la jurisdicción de la Corte Suprema sobre las decisiones del Poder Legislativo israelí. La segunda acabar de una vez por todas con el problema del terrorismo en la franja de Gaza impidiendo que se escondan terroristas en medio de una gran ciudad haciendo que la mayor ciudad de la franja quede reducida a escombros. Recordemos que Hamas tiene cada vez más poderío militar gracias a las suculentas donaciones de entre otros la UE. Para ello Israel debe pasar a ser el indefenso que es atacado sin piedad por bestias inhumanas. ¿Creen que un ataque así favorece en algo a las reivindicaciones del pueblo palestino? Y en tercer lugar hacerse con el control de por lo menos una gran parte de la costa que ocupa actualmente la franja de Gaza para poder reclamar el acceso a los yacimientos gasísticos que se conocen desde 1990 pero que se han revalorizado a niveles estratosféricos desde el 2009. Luego hablaré más en profundidad sobre esto. Que el mundo se haya creído que una de las fronteras mejor vigiladas haya sido asaltada sin prácticamente oposición y precisamente en el 50 aniversario es bastante ridículo...pero que además las imágenes que nos ofrezcan del bando asaltante incluyan muñecos de goma como este supuesto soldado israelí es para que nos lo hagamos mirar. ¡Miren bien estas imágenes, no existen soldados con todos los huesos del cuerpo rotos haciendo guardia encima de un tanque! Esto solo puede significar dos cosas: estas imágenes son montaje del bando judío para lograr la tensión necesaria, el casus belli, el motivo de guerra…recuerden “problema-reacción-solución". O que ambos bandos en su nivel superior están en lo mismo, ambos son parte del NWO global y son utilizados con un fin. Ambas cúpulas dirigentes son parte de un culto global que cada vez asoma mas la patita. Pero es que podemos ver también campañas de desinformación con muñecos bebé simulando ser niños asesinados en los recientes bombardeos del ejército israelí o incluso el supuesto bombardeo de un convoy de civiles palestinos que intentaba desplazarse hasta la zona egipcia. En ambos casos, nosotros debemos ser neutrales. 50 años más tarde volvemos a tener un ataque histórico contra Israel, recuerden que la crisis del petróleo empezó a costa de esa crispación por la toma de los altos del Golán y la correspondiente reacción del ejército israelí que ya había demostrado en 1967 de lo que era capaz. No defiendo el uso de la violencia por ninguna de las partes. Mucho me temo que esta nueva crisis que se avecina también tendrá su componente económico mundial y sea utilizada tal vez para dar el espaldarazo final a la moneda digital de los gobiernos, las famosas CBDCs. Desgraciadamente una paz duradera y una repartición de los enormes recursos de la zona, todo el gas y petróleo de la zona suponen unos 545.000 millones de dólares, supondría un enorme beneficio para ambas partes. “La guerra es la salida cobarde a los problemas de la paz”. Thomas Mann, escritor alemán. Y ahora veamos más de cerca algunos de esos eventos de falsa bandera para comprender que hemos vuelto a ser engañados y que algunas personas que se conocen han decidido que se maten entre si personas que no se conocen para ser aún mas ricas. ………………………………………………………………………………………. Hemos visto una comparecencia del senador Ron Paul contándonos las verdades del barquero, esas cosas que la TV no suele repetir a menudo. Pero sí, podríamos decir que el terrorismo de Hamas es una creación de los Estados Unidos en unión con Israel y que toda la radicalización del mundo musulmán ha venido sobrevenida en gran parte por la injerencia de servicios secretos extranjeros para rodear con una especie de cortafuegos a Rusia. (005 Palestinos e israelíes en la cama) Pero yo voy a ir más lejos, yo creo que ambas partes la del terrorismo de Hamas y el terrorismo del sionismo que maltrata de forma inhumana a los árabes que ha encerrado en Israel están en la misma cama y son parte de la agenda 2030 del tiparraco del WEF, el señor Klaus Schwab. A Israel y a USA no les interesa que el problema palestino termine y ni mucho menos los están exterminando. Tan solo hay que ver la gráfica del crecimiento de población en la franja de Gaza. Las mujeres gazadies tienen una media de 4,5 hijos frente a los 1,2 de las españolas, bueno ya me entienden, de los niños que nacen en España gracias a la inmigración extranjera. Vamos a contarles como he dicho antes algo que no les contara el periodismo que calla, ese que miente todos los días y que trabaja para el poder-religión en la sombra. Resulta que frente a la franja de Gaza hay un enorme campo marino con petróleo y gas para aburrir. Desde que la petrolera británica BG Group descubrió en el año 2000 unos 45.000 millones de metros cúbicos de gas recuperable en el mar de Gaza no ha habido forma de ponerse de acuerdo a la hora de repartirse el pastel. Y lo más curioso es que como pueden ver en este mapa de la zona que está bloqueada y pertenece a la exploración de esa compañía, hay dos zonas bien definidas una más cerca de la Egipto y otra más al norte. “En 2019 un importante estudio de la ONU concluyó que “la ocupación sigue impidiendo a los palestinos desarrollar sus yacimientos energéticos (petróleo y gas) para explotar y beneficiarse de estos activos”. Así, al pueblo palestino se le han negado los beneficios de utilizar este recurso natural para financiar el desarrollo socioeconómico y satisfacer sus necesidades energéticas. Las pérdidas acumuladas se estiman en miles de millones de dólares.” Podemos seguir leyendo en un interesantísimo artículo que compartir en la descripción del podcast en Ivoox titulado “La multinacional Chevron saquea el petróleo de Gaza con el apoyo de Estados Unidos”: “El valor neto de estos recursos asciende a 524.000 millones de dólares, que deberían repartirse adecuadamente entre las distintas partes, incluidas Israel y Palestina: “Estos yacimientos podrían unificarse, y su desarrollo podría llevarse a cabo en nombre de todas las partes, cuyos derechos de propiedad tendrían que establecerse antes de la explotación… Los palestinos tienen un gran interés no sólo en los yacimientos situados bajo su territorio, sino en todas las reservas comunes”. Según el informe, los palestinos ya han perdido aproximadamente 2.570 millones de dólares debido a que “Israel les impide el ejercicio de su derecho a beneficiarse de la explotación de sus recursos naturales, garantizado por el derecho internacional. Cuanto más tiempo impida Israel a los palestinos explotar sus reservas de petróleo y gas natural, mayores serán los costes de oportunidad de estas reservas y los costes de la ocupación que soportan los palestinos”.” Si dividiésemos la franja de Gaza en dos se podría repartir ese gas como buenos hermanos entre Israel y los Palestinos. Y eso, señores, es la hipótesis que creo que esta debajo de esta falsa bandera que estamos padeciendo en estos momentos. Un acuerdo off the record entre las potencias implicadas Turquia, Qatar, Egipto, Palestina, Israel y Estados Unidos y el verdadero poder que se mantiene por encima de estas supuestas naciones soberanas. Dejar atrás un bloqueo histórico de esos recursos naturales con la excusa del terrorismo y mediante la guerra posterior repartirse un botín de guerra billonario. Para ello se está utilizando una fuerte campaña de Fake news y de programación mediante el trauma para hacernos caer en uno de los dos bandos. Este video no corresponde al conflicto actual entre Israel y Palestina, se trata de un documental palestino de la artista de maquillaje Mariam Salah de hace aproximadamente 6 años. Sin embargo es una de las noticias falsas que corre como la pólvora en Twitter. La desinformación campa a sus anchas y tenemos que ver supuestos bombardeos de caravanas de ciudadanos intentando huir de la zona de Gaza que los israelíes quieren controlar. Ya saben dividir en dos la franja de Gaza para poder repartirse el botín de guerra, ese mas de medio billón de dólares en gas y petróleo. Ya han visto, bueno, no han visto porque los medios censuran y pixelan las imágenes, así que vamos a verlas sin pixelar y desde la neutralidad y la tranquilidad que da saber que son parte de un teatrillo y que no ha muerto nadie. Bueno, tenemos a una doctora así que vamos a dejar que opine, pero yo veo que ningún vehículo ha sufrido daños que indiquen un bombardeo aéreo. Veo cristales impolutos, veo un camión sin daños exteriores, no veo ningún cráter de un bombardeo, en fin, veo un montaje hollywoodense como diría Pedro Bustamante. Lo curioso del tema es que ningún bando acusa al otro de colar videos falsos. Los videos como el del soldado israelí de trapo que es arrojado al suelo desde el tanque es aprovechado por los dos bandos garantizando su autenticidad. Los israelíes no denuncian que eso es un muñeco y obviamente los terroristas de Hamas tampoco dicen esta boca es mía. Ya nos la metieron doblada con la utilización de muñecos durante la Tragipandemia así que espero que no seamos tan tontos y volvamos a caer en lo mismo. ………………………………………………………………………………………. En estos momentos tan duros donde la desinformación campa a sus anchas y se busca lograr un conflicto global es bueno recordar que en las guerras siempre se miente y como Colin Powell nos mintió a todos con aquellas "armas de destrucción masiva”. Cómo nuestro entonces presidente J.M. Aznar se unió a aquella mentira y nos hizo participar en una guerra injusta. ¿Viven mejor o peor que con su anterior régimen los iraquíes? ¿Es más seguro el mundo tras aquella guerra injustificable? La verdad a veces tarda demasiado tiempo en abrirse camino. Hoy día muchos millones de personas siguen pensando en que USA hizo bien en erradicar el régimen iraquí y matar a millones de personas. Pero solo hay una verdad, con muchas vertientes, pero solo hay una. Yo llevo denunciando las mentiras de ambos bandos desde hace mucho. Cómo por ejemplo en este atentado del ISIL el 20 de marzo de 2015. ¿Bombas que no mueven del sitio libros y hojas de papel? Falsos atentados como el de Boston. Todo para aterrorizar a un público que solo ve la TV y lee los periódicos. Un público obediente que teme salirse de lo que diga el mainstream...yo vi aquel video "no oficial" y aquello fue puro teatro. La TV es experta en engañarnos. Este es Charles Jaco corresponsal en la Guerra del Golfo para la CNN. Fue muy famoso. Y sí, algunas veces estuvo allí...pero no siempre. Los televidentes norteamericanos esperaban pacientes su dosis de guerra de su periodista favorito. Pero el no estaba en Irak, estaba trabajando en un estudio con pantalla verde. ¿No me creen? He troceado estos 34 segundos para que vean que todo era falso. Las palmeras. El hotel. El fondo en llamas. ¡Todo estaba siendo grabado en un estudio! Las fotos de "este héroe" se venden por cientos de dólares. Eso es la TV. Pura propaganda de guerra. Sean todo lo neutrales que puedan y todo lo críticos que les permita su cosmovisión. Y recuerden que los verdaderos gangsters no se dejan ver...ni siquiera son los que aparecen abajo de este meme. Hago mías las palabras de Antonio Pampliega: "En una guerra, la primera víctima es la verdad y la pena es que nuestras fotografías no paren el conflicto. Lo que no se ve, no existe y hay que darle siempre visibilidad”. Pero tengan mucho cuidado con los medios de "comunicación" ya que sus intereses no son los de sus “telecreyentes". Acuérdense de la fotografía de los turistas japoneses asesinados por Isis donde solo 2 soles podían darnos una explicación lógica. Todo el mundo se creyó este video. Fíjense bien en la sombra del cuello de los turistas japoneses. Hasta la cadena FOX dijo que era un montaje. Fue tan burdo aquello que dejaron de bombardearnos con estas supuestas muertes. Muchos canales "conspiranoicos" hablaron de aquello incluso disidencia controlada como el Sr Jones. Incluso apareció un video del supuesto estudio donde se realizaban estás grabaciones del ISIS. Sé qué es muy duro enfrentarse a las emociones y ver con absoluta neutralidad y sangre fría este tipo de acciones terroristas (vengan de donde vengan) pero la realidad es una. Llevan fingiendo demasiado tiempo y por fortuna hemos empezado a pillarles su juego como en este video donde se simula la explosión de un coche bomba en un barrio de Irak en 2017 y cuyas imágenes fueron distribuidas por todo el mundo en los telediarios de la época. No caigamos en su juego. ………………………………………………………………………………………. La masacre de la Escuela Primaria de Sandy Hook fue un tiroteo escolar que ocurrió el viernes 14 de diciembre de 2012, en la escuela primaria local Sandy Hook (Sandy Hook Elementary School) de Newtown, Connecticut, Estados Unidos. Según los informes oficiales murieron, por lo menos, veintiocho personas entre ellos el niño judio Noah Pozner que casualmente podemos ver en los carteles de otro escenario en Pakistán donde al menos 132 escolares habrían muerto en un ataque talibán a una escuela. Casualmente fue el 16 de diciembre de 2014, solo dos años más tarde. Gordon Duff, un Veterano de la Infantería de Marina en Vietnam, diplomático retirado, autor y redactor jefe de Veterans Today contaba en un articulo del 2013 que “recientes revelaciones terroríficas sobre los ocupantes de una «casa de seguridad» del Mossad, en un exclusivo barrio de Greenwich Village, en la ciudad de Nueva York, involucrados no sólo en los ataques terroristas de Sandy Hook, sino también en intentos por inculpar de forma manifiesta a grupos «neonazis», se ha vuelto un desastre para Israel. No se requiere mucha imaginación para presumir que el grupo israelí planificaba inculpar a los «neo-nazis» portadores de armas por la matanza de Sandy Hook y apoyar la demanda del alcalde de Nueva York, Bloomberg, para confiscar armas a nivel nacional.” Esto nos debería hacer reflexionar sobre cómo nos han estado engañando desde hace mucho utilizando técnicas tan primitivas como el uso de maniquís. La masacre de la Escuela Secundaria de Columbine fue un tiroteo escolar ocurrido el 20 de abril de 1999 en Columbine. ¿Algo muy serio verdad? Uno de los primeros tiroteos con muertos, en este caso 10 víctimas mortales y 15 heridos. Esta tragedia se tornó viral desde el minuto uno y el director de los progres Michael Moore filmó la película documental Bowling for Columbine que ganó varios premios, entre ellos el Óscar a la mejor película documental. Todo esto se utilizó para intentar retirar el permiso de armas a la población civil. Pero veamos algunas de las imágenes que nos mostró la TV sobre aquella matanza. Sí, había un muñeco en el escenario y no pasa nada…los borreguitos siguieron viendo la TV como si nada. Pero aún tenemos un caso mas claro en el tiroteo en el aeropuerto de los Ángeles. El tiroteo se produjo la mañana del 1 de noviembre de 2013 en el Aeropuerto Internacional de Los Ángeles (LAX), y como verán la policía, los técnicos sanitarios y los cuerpos se seguridad estuvieron muy entretenidos paseando a un muñeco por allí. Pero si hay una falsa bandera importante es el 11S o 11 de septiembre en USA. En la descripción del podcast os dejaré el enlace a una pestaña de mi blog donde trato este tema dentro del apartado Cloacas del sistema. Deciros que la mayor censura que yo he sufrido ha sido por compartir un documental sobre las torres gemelas donde se hablaba sobre su construcción. En un artículo titulado “Modern Marvels. World Trade Center los minutos que desaparecen” nuestro amigo Nozick nos explicaba que en dicho documental se contaba como las Torres Gemelas fueron diseñadas para soportar el impacto de los mayores aviones diseñados en esa época. Misteriosamente dicho documental estaba desapareciendo de Youtube. Un documental que se emitió integro en todo el mundo en el canal Historia y que a raíz del autoatentado del 11S fue censurado a nivel global. Las veces que he intentado compartir el documental entero en YouTube o en Archive punto org he sido en un caso castigado con un strike y borrado el video y en el otro expulsado sin miramientos de una plataforma donde se supone que no hay censura. Podéis encontrar el documental en todos lados pero capado, esto es, sin el trozo donde salía el diseñador principal del World Trade Center, el señor A. Martini, diciendo que había diseñado las torres para resistir el impacto de los aviones mas grandes de la época. Pero oigamos de su propia voz esto. Edificios ultra resistentes que no soportan un incendio de queroseno que obviamente no puede derretir el metal ni dañarlo ya que encima se acababa de proteger las vigas para este tipo de eventos. Lo dicho, esto es lo que hay. Grandes intereses económicos y manejo de energías a nivel planetario con fines muy oscuros. Invitados: …. Dra Yane #JusticiaParaUTP Médico y Buscadora de la verdad.

FX a fini de diffuser The Old Man, par conséquent la série arrive sur Disney+ chez nous dès le 28 septembre. Vous ferez la rencontre de Dan Chase, un espion de la CIA retraité qui possède malgré tout encore un dossier bien actif et qui doit échapper à ceux qui le pourchassent. Le roman de Thomas Perry est adapté par Robert Levine et Jonathan Steinberg, le duo derrière Black Sails ou encore Human Target. Avec précision, ils ont concocté une saison en sept épisodes pleine de suspens en respectant les codes du genre qui va suivre officiellement avec une saison 2. https://youtu.be/2Md5sG0uOHc Si une seule raison suffisait à regarder, ce serait pour la performance de Jeff Bridges. En vétéran, l'acteur profite de son expérience pour transcender son personnage et se confronte à John Lithgow en agent du FBI qui ne se laisse pas faire. Les premiers épisodes paraissent un peu lents, pour aller au rythme de son protagoniste, mais au fur et à mesure les enjeux se dessinent un peu plus. Mention spéciale au premier épisode qui n'est pas représentatif de la suite, un épisode presque muet, où Dan est quasi seul à l'écran (avec ses deux fidèles chiens), et où on ne comprend ni ne voit grand-chose dans la pénombre. Sa fuite va le mener à rencontrer Zoe (Amy Brenneman), sa nouvelle propriétaire et voisine, qui va faire renaître une tendresse sous ce cœur bourru. The Old Man reflète bien son titre, on voit le temps rattraper deux vieux hommes qui auraient préféré enterrer leurs passés. Des flashbacks interrompent la narration pour expliquer l'affaire qui nous intéresse. La jeunesse de son côté est représentée par Alia Shawkat et E.J. Bonilla, aussi opportunistes l'une que l'autre. Si l'histoire de fond surprend par quelques twists, les personnages sombres et torturés restent des archétypes du genre, le tout saupoudré de scènes d'action admirables. Les mystères renferment encore plus de mystères, et la série rappellera des classiques d'espionnage de type La taupe ou encore Slow Horses d'Apple TV+.

Welcome to The Kurty D Show, a podcast presenting unique perspectives shaping the world. Today, Kurt welcomes to the show CEO of Arca and his brother-in-law, Rayne Steinberg. Prior to founding Arca, Rayne co-founded the NASDAQ listed asset management company, WisdomTree. There, he was responsible for raising capital, creating intellectual property, and building and overseeing the sales team responsible for raising $15 billion in assets under management.In this episode, Rayne speaks to his background and the origin story of Arca, one of the leading hedge funds in the explosive category of digital assets and blockchain. Rayne shares about his role as CEO at Arca, what they offer their clients, and why digital assets (Bitcoin, Crypto, NFTs) have gained such traction over the past few years. Kurt and Rayne dive deep into a discussion on the digital asset industry, touching on passive tokenization and Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs). Finally, Rayne takes on some rapid-fire questions and lets listeners know where they can learn more about Arca. What we covered: 01:29 – Kurt welcomes to the show, Rayne Steinberg, who shares his background in business, his origin story, and the lessons he's learned throughout his career10:48 – Rayne tells the story of WisdomTree18:02 – Passive indexation explained22:27 – Rayne provides his perspective on the Great Recession of 200825:35 – Rayne recalls the first time he ever heard about Bitcoin and digital currency28:03 – The mission and vision of Arca33:31 – Rayne provides his thoughts on regulation in the digital asset industry41:07 – Decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs)47:02 – The value that Arca brings to its customers52:21 – Passive tokenization58:39 – Rayne opens up about the hardest challenges he's had to overcome throughout his life1:02:32 – The best boss Rayne ever had- his brother Jonathan Steinberg- plus an unknown fact about Rayne and the one band he would go see play live if he could1:05:30 – Kurt thanks Rayne for joining the show and let's listeners know where they can connect and collaborate with Rayne Episode Sponsor: Hunt Club Tweetable Quotes: “What we're seeing with digital assets is that a lot of the things that we thought were fundamental truths were really simply technological limitations to the way things were done.”“You participate in a brand's growth, you reap the rewards that everyone becomes a min investor or allocator of their time. This idea of reengaging people or leveling the playing field or aligning effort with reward, we've never seen something that could do it as much as [digital currency].”“We think that there's a world where investment vehicles – that space between investment and payment – is gonna go down to basically nothing. You're gonna be able to pay for your coffee without ever leaving your allocation to the S&P 500.”“It [Bitcoin] was an incredibly elegant solution to the concept of money and how one creates money and how one disperses it and how one secures it in a digital world and how one solves things like ‘double spend problem,' and all done in a decentralized manner.”“So we actually have a duplicative effort where we're demonstrating to both users and regulators that you can actually have the same functionality of a transfer agent on blockchain and watch that work.” “I think that's really the power of this [cryptocurrency], more than the returns now, is the philosophical experiment that this is.”  Links Mentioned: Kurt's TwitterKurt's Instagram Kurt's LinkedIn Rayne's LinkedIn Rayne's Twitter Arca Website

Dr Paul Wang:                   Welcome to the monthly podcast, On the Beat for Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology. I'm Dr Paul Wang, Editor-in-Chief, with some of the key highlights from this month's issue. In our first paper this month, Shaan Khurshid and associates determine the frequency of rhythm abnormalities in 502,627 adults in the UK Biobank, a national prospective cohort. They found that 2.35% had a baseline rhythm abnormality. The prevalence increased with age, with 4.84% of individuals aged 65 to 73 years having rhythm abnormalities. During over three million person- years of follow up, nearly 16,000 new rhythm abnormalities were detected. Atrial fibrillation was the most frequent with three per thousand person-years. Bradyarrhythmia with almost one per thousand person-years. Conduction system disease is about one per one thousand years. Supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias, each about one half per one thousand person-years. Older age was associated with a hazard ratio of 2.35 for each 10 year increase. Male sex, hypertension, chronic kidney disease and heart failure were all associated with new rhythm abnormalities. In our next paper, Fabien Squara and associates evaluated a method of determining the septal or free wall positioning of pacemaker or ICD leads during fluoroscopy. They compared in 50 patients a classical approach using posterior anterior, right anterior oblique 30 degrees, and left anterior oblique 40 degrees fluoroscopic imaging’s to 50 patients undergoing an individualized left anterior oblique or LAO approach. This individualized LAO approach view provided a true view of the interventricular septum. This angle was defined by the degree of LAO that allowed the perfect superimposition of the RV apex, using the tip of the right ventricular lead, temporarily placed at the apex, and one of the superior vena cava, inferior vena cava access using a guide wire. Transthoracic echo was used to confirm position of the right ventricular lead. Septal, or free wall, right ventricular lead positioning was correctly identified in 96% of patients in the individualized group, versus 76% in the classical group. P equals 0.004. For septal lead positioning fluoroscopy had 100% sensitivity, and an 89.5 specificity in an individualized group, versus 91.4% sensitivity, and a 40% specificity in the classical group. In our next paper, Elsayed Soliman and associates examined the lifetime risk of atrial fibrillation based on race and socioeconomic status. In the atherosclerosis risk in communities, ARIC, cohort, of 15,343 participants without atrial fibrillation, patients were recruited in 1987 to 1989, when they were 45 to 64 years of age, and followed through 2014. The authors identify 2,760 atrial fibrillation cases during a mean follow up of 21 years. The authors found that the lifetime risk of atrial fibrillation in the ARIC cohort was approximately one in three among whites, and one in five among African Americans. And, the socioeconomic status was inversely associated with cumulative incidents of atrial fibrillation before the last decades of life. In our next paper, Jonathan Steinberg and associates sought to determine the impact of atrial fibrillation episode duration threshold on atrial fibrillation incidents and burden in pacemaker patients in a prospective registry. In 615 pacemaker patients was device detected atrial fibrillation over a mean follow up of 3.7 years, 599 had one or more atrial fibrillation episodes of 30 seconds duration, with a mean number of 22 episodes. At 12 months, freedom from atrial fibrillation ranged from 25.5% to 73.1%, based on a duration threshold from 30 seconds up to 24 hours. Of patients with a first episode of 30 seconds to two minutes, 35.8% were free from subsequent episodes greater than two minutes at 180 days. The mean atrial fibrillation burden of 0.2% for patients with first episodes between 30 seconds and 3.8 hours, was significantly less than the 9.5% burden for those with greater than 3.8 hours. The authors concluded that small differences in atrial fibrillation episode duration definition can significantly affect the perceived incidents of atrial fibrillation impact reported outcomes, including atrial fibrillation success. An initial atrial fibrillation episode of 30 seconds does not predict clinically meaningful atrial fibrillation burden. In the next paper, Hongwu Chen and Linsheng Shi and associates examined the distinct electrophysiologic features of bundle branch reentrant ventricular tachycardia in patients without structural heart disease. They described nine patients, mean age 29.6 years, with normal left ventricular function and bundle branch reentrant ventricular tachycardia, with a right bundle branch block pattern in one patient, and left bundle branch block patterns in nine patients. In all left bundle branch block pattern ventricular tachycardia, the mean ventricular tachycardia cycling was 329.3 milliseconds, and the median HV interval during tachycardia was longer than that of baseline, 78 versus 71 milliseconds. The H to right bundle interval during ventricular tachycardia was slightly shorter, however, the right bundle to ventricular interval was markedly longer than that during sinus rhythm, 50 versus 30 milliseconds. In six patients with three dimensional mapping of the left ventricle, a slow anterograde, or retrograde conduction over the left His-Purkinje system with normal myocardial voltage was identified. In addition, Purkinje related ventricular tachycardias were also induced in five patients. Ablation was applied to the distal left bundle branch block in patients with baseline left bundle branch block, and in one narrow QRS patient with sustained Purkinje related ventricular tachycardia, while right bundle branch was targeted in other patients. During a mean follow up at 31.4 months, frequent premature ventricular contractions occurred in one patient, and new ventricular tachycardia developed in the other patient. In the next paper, Michel Haissaguerre and associates examined detailed mapping in 24 patients who survived idiopathic ventricular fibrillation. They used multi-electrode body surface recordings to identify the drivers maintaining ventricular fibrillation, and analyze electrograms in the driver regions, using endocardial and epicardial catheter mapping during sinus rhythm. Ventricular fibrillation occurred spontaneous in three patients, and was induced in 16, while VF was non-inducible in five. Ventricular fibrillation mapping demonstrated reentrant and focal activities, 87% and 13% respectively. The activities were dominant in one ventricle in nine patients, while they were biventricular in the others. During sinus rhythm, areas of abnormal electrograms were identified in 15 out of 24 patients, or 62.5%, revealing localized structural alterations, in the right ventricle in 11, the left ventricle in one, in both in three. They covered a limited surface, 13 centimeters squared, representing 5% of the total surface, and recorded predominantly on the epicardium. 76% of these areas were co-located with ventricular fibrillation drivers. In nine patients without structural alterations, the authors observed a high incidence of Purkinje triggers, seven out of nine, versus four out of 15. Catheter ablation resulted in arrhythmia-free outcomes in 15 out of 18 patients at a 17 month follow up. In our next paper, David Spar and associates describe the effectiveness, safety, and compliance of the wearable cardioverter defibrillator in the identification and treatment of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias in all US pediatric patients who wore a wearable defibrillator from 2009 to 2016, ages less than 18 years. The 455 patients had a median age of 15 years, median duration of wearable cardioverter defibrillator use of 33 days, and median patient wear time of 20.6 hours per day. The study population was divided into two groups, 63 patients with an ICD problem, or 392 patients without an ICD problem. The wear time was greater than 20 hours in both groups. There were seven deaths, or 1.5%. All patients were not wearing the wearable cardioverter defibrillator at the time of death. Eight patients, 1.8%, received at least one wearable cardioverter defibrillator shock treatment. Of the six patients who had appropriate therapy, there were seven episodes of either polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, or ventricular fibrillation, with a total of 13 treatments delivered. All episodes were successfully converted, and the patient survived. In our next paper, Marc Lemoine and associates used human-induced pluripotential stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes to examine differences in repolarization reserve. The authors compared the contribution of IKs and IKr on action potential durations in human left ventricular tissue, and the human induced pluripotential stem cell derived cardiomyocytes, or IPS-derived engineered heart tissue. They found that the IPS-derived heart tissue showed spontaneous diastolic depolarization in action potential duration, which were sensitive to low concentrations of Ivabradine. IKr block by E-4031 prolonged action potential duration 90 with similar EC50 in both the IPS-derived heart tissue and the human left ventricular tissue. But a larger effect size in the IPS-derived heart tissue, 281 milliseconds versus 110 milliseconds, in the human left ventricular tissue. While IKr block alone evoked early after depolarizations, it triggered activity in 50% of the IPS-derived heart tissue. Slow pacing reduced extracellular potassium blocking of IKr, IKs and IK1 were necessary to induce early after depolarizations in human left ventricular tissue. In accordance with their clinical safety, Moxifloxacin and Verapamil did not induce EADs in IPS-derived heart tissue. In both IPS-derived heart tissue and human left ventricular tissue, IKs block by HMR 1556 prolonged action potential duration 90 slightly in the combined presence of E-4031 and isoprenaline. In our next paper, Elizabeth Saarel and associates sought to obtain contemporary digital ECG measurements in healthy children from North America to evaluate the effects of sex and race, and to compare the results to commonly published data sets, using 2400 digital ECGs, collected for children less than 18 years of age with normal electrocardiograms at 19 centers in the pediatric heart network. The authors found that the QTc in lead II was greater for females compared to males for age groups three years or older, for whites compared to African Americans, for ages 12 years or older. The R wave amplitude in V6 was greater for males compared to females for age groups 12 years and greater; for African Americans compared to white or other race categories for age groups three years or greater; and greater compared to commonly used public data set groups for ages 12 years and greater. In our next paper, Pyotr Platonov and associates examined T-wave morphology as a possible predictor of cardiac events in patients with type 2 long QT syndrome mutation carriers with normal QTc intervals. The authors compared 154 LQT2 mutation carriers with QTc less than 360 milliseconds in men, and less than 470 milliseconds in women, with 1007 unaffected family members. Flat, notched, or negative T-waves in leads II or V5 on baseline ECG were considered abnormal. Using Cox regression analysis, the associations between T-wave morphology, the presence in mutations in the poor region of KCNH2, and the risk of cardiac events defined that syncope aborted cardiac arrest, defibrillator therapy, or sudden cardiac arrests were assessed. The authors found that LQT2 female carriers with abnormal T-wave morphology had a threefold increased risk of cardiac events compared to LQT2 female carriers with normal T-waves, while this association was not seen in males. LQT2 males with poor location of mutations had a six-fold increased risk of cardiac events than non-poor location males, while no such association was found in females. In our last paper, Yaniv Bar-Cohen and associates describe a percutaneous pacemaker entirely implanted in the pericardium, using a sheath for sub-xiphoid access to the pericardial space, and a miniaturized camera with fiber optic illumination, the micro-pacemakers were successfully implanted in six pigs. All animals were studied during follow up, survived without symptoms. That's it for this month. We hope that you'll find the Journal to be the go-to place for everyone interested in the field. See you next time!

What is the role of personality in shaping history? Shortly before the beginning of the First World War, the German sociologist Max Weber puzzled over this question. He was sure that there was a kind of authority that drew strength from character itself. He called this authority “charismatic,” a type of legitimate political power that rested “on devotion to the exceptional sanctity, heroism or exemplary character of an individual person, and of the normative patterns or order revealed or ordained by him.” The charismatic leader is not like us. In fact, he is not like anyone. He is sui generis, a mysterious force of nature, a sort of political demiurge. According to Jonathan Steinberg, Weber may well have had Otto von Bismarck in mind when he defined charismatic authority. In his wonderful Bismarck: A Life (Oxford UP, 2011), Steinberg argues that Bismarck’s successes (and some of his failures) can be largely attributed to the awesome force of his personality. Not “social structures.” Not “historical patterns.” Not “underlying forces.” But charisma pure and simple. Time and again Steinberg finds those around Bismarck attesting to the fact that he just wasn’t like everyone else. He was smarter, wittier, stronger, more willful, more cunning, more temperamental, and in most ways larger than life. And this was the nearly uniform (though not always positive) assessment of the some of the most impressive figures of his day. It’s a compelling case. And it provokes a question about German political culture, for Bismarck was not the first or the last “genius” to rule some or all of the Reich. Fredrick the Great preceded him, and Hitler followed.
