BrianClegg

Brian Clegg

Born in Rochdale, Lancashire, UK, Brian attended the Manchester Grammar School, then read Natural Sciences (specializing in experimental physics) at Cambridge University. After graduating, he spent a year at Lancaster University where he gained a second MA in Operational Research, a discipline developed during the Second World War to apply mathematics and probability to warfare and since widely applied to business problem solving. From Lancaster, he joined British Airways, where he formed a new department tasked with developing hi-tech solutions for the airline. His emphasis on innovation led to working with creativity guru Dr. Edward de Bono, and in 1994 he left BA to set up his own creativity consultancy, running courses on the development of ideas and the solution of business problems. His clients include the BBC, the Met Office, Sony, GlaxoSmithKline, the Treasury, Royal Bank of Scotland and many others. Brian now concentrates on writing popular science books, with topics ranging from infinity to 'how to build a time machine.' He has also written regular columns, features and reviews for numerous magazines and newspapers, including Nature, BBC Focus, BBC History, Good Housekeeping, The Times, The Observer, Playboy, The Wall Street Journal and Physics World. His books have been translated into many languages, including German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Polish, Turkish, Norwegian, and Indonesian. Brian has given sell-out lectures at the Royal Institution in London and has spoken at venues from Oxford and Cambridge Universities to Cheltenham Festival of Science. He has also contributed to radio and TV programmes, and is a popular speaker at schools. Most recently he appeared with the BBC's business editor, Robert Peston, teaching him quantum theory, took part in a feature on time travel to accompany the movie Looper and took part in the University Challenge Christmas Special. Brian is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, a Member of the Institute of Physics, was a Royal Literary Fund Fellow at Bristol University and is also editor of the successful www.popularscience.co.uk book review site.

TMR 220 : Patrick M. Wood : Interview Notes

PatrickWoodPatrick M. Wood

Patrick M. Wood is an author and lecturer who has stud­ied elite globalisation policies since the late 1970s, when he partnered with the late Antony C. Sutton to co-author Trilaterals Over Washington, Volumes I and II. An economist by education, a financial analyst and writer by profession, and an Amer­ican Constitutionalist by choice, Wood maintains a biblical worldview and has deep historical insights into modern attacks on sovereignty, property rights and personal freedom. A frequent speaker on radio shows around the U.S., Wood's cur­rent work centres in Technocracy, Transhumanism and Scientism, and how these are transforming global economics, politics and religion. As he says, the endgame is scientific dictatorship; we ignore it our peril.

Mentions of the Ooser and Skimmity Riding by Thomas Hardy

  • The Ooser mentioned by Thomas Hardy in his The Return of the Native (1878) available at Project Gutenburg (emphasis added):

Mrs. Yeobright spoke to him as one in a mesmeric sleep. " 'Tis a long way home, my child, and we shall not get there till evening."

"I shall," said her small companion. "I am going to play marnels afore supper, and we go to supper at six o'clock, because father comes home. Does your father come home at six too?"

"No, he never comes; nor my son either, nor anybody."

"What have made you so down? Have you seen a ooser?"

"I have seen what's worse—a woman's face looking at me through a window-pane."

"Is that a bad sight?"

"Yes. It is always a bad sight to see a woman looking out at a weary wayfarer and not letting her in."

  • Skimmity riding mentioned by Thomas Hardy in his The Mayor of Casterbridge (1886) available at Project Gutenburg (emphasis added):

" “I say, what a good foundation for a skimmity-ride,” said Nance.

“True,” said Mrs. Cuxsom, reflecting. “'Tis as good a ground for a skimmity-ride as ever I knowed; and it ought not to be wasted. The last one seen in Casterbridge must have been ten years ago, if a day.”

Previous Conversation On Dr. Ball's Adages

 

Items mentioned in / related to the conversation

"The "97% consensus" article is poorly conceived, poorly designed and poorly executed. It obscures the complexities of the climate issue and it is a sign of the desperately poor level of public and policy debate in this country that the energy minister should cite it. It offers a similar depiction of the world into categories of ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ to that adopted in Anderegg et al.’s 2010 equally poor study in PNAS: dividing publishing climate scientists into ‘believers’ and ‘non-believers’. It seems to me that these people are still living (or wishing to live) in the pre-2009 world of climate change discourse. Haven’t they noticed that public understanding of the climate issue has moved on?" (emphasis added) (The orginal comment can be viewed here: http://blogs.nottingham.ac.uk/makingsciencepublic/2013/07/23/whats-behind-the-battle-of-received-wisdoms/)

TMR 212 : Edward Curtin : Interview Notes

EdwardCurtinEdward Curtin

"Educated in the classics, philosophy, literature, theology, and sociology, I teach sociology at Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts. My writing on varied topics has appeared widely over many years. I write as a public intellectual for the general public, not as a specialist for a narrow readership. I believe a non-committal sociology is an impossibility and therefore see all my work as an effort to enhance human freedom through understanding."—Edward Curtin911UnmaskedCover sm

   

9/11 Unmasked

"9/11 Unmasked is the result of a six-year investigation by an international review panel, which has provided 51 points illustrating the problematic status of all the major claims in the official account of the 9/11 attacks, some of which are obviously false. Most dramatically, the official account of the destruction of the Twin Towers and World Trade Center 7 could not possibly be true, unless the laws of physics were suspended that day. But other claims made by the official account—including the claims that the 9/11 planes were taken over by al-Qaeda hijackers, that one of those hijackers flew his plane into the Pentagon, and that passengers on the planes telephoned people on the ground—are also demonstrably false. The book reports only points about which the panel reached consensus by using the “best-evidence” consensus model employed in medical research. The panel is composed of experts about 9/11 from many disciplines, including physics, chemistry, structural engineering, aeronautical engineering, and jurisprudence."—Interlink Books

Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who is a pattern of the one to come." (NIV)

"And just as people are appointed to die once, and then to face judgmentso also, after Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many, to those who eagerly await him he will appear a second time, not to bear sin but to bring salvation."—NET Bible

Comments disputed by Brzezinksi: an interview with Le Nouvel Observateur, Paris (15-21 January 1998): “Yes. According to the official version of history, CIA aid to the Mujahiddin began during 1980, that is to say, after the Soviet army invaded Afghanistan on December 24, 1979. But the reality, closely guarded until now, is completely otherwise: Indeed, it was July 3, 1979 that President Carter signed the first directive for secret aid to the opponents of the pro-Soviet regime in Kabul. And that very day, I wrote a note to the president in which I explained to him that in my opinion this aid was going to induce a Soviet military intervention.”

Denial by Brzezinksi on The Real News (YouTube channel): "No, that's not accurate. I don't know what that's based on. There are two different aspects here that are kind of connected. One: Robert Gates revealed in his memoirs, accurately, that before the Soviets staged the formal invasion of Afghanistan -- but they were already in Afghanistan with Special Forces and so forth -- we increased military (no) we increased financial assistance to the Mujahideen. It was mostly for the acquisition, presumably, of weapons. And then after they came in (when the Soviets came in) I did send the President a memo saying "Yes, their entry into Afghanistan -- at a time of turmoil in Iran, and in the whole Persian Gulf region as a consequence potentially -- we have a chance to give the Soviets their Vietnam." "

  • "E Pluribus Unum", GreatSeal.com

    • This article offers some interesting background to the "e pluribus unum" motto. It was apparently suggested by the committee that US Congress had appointed on 4 July 1776, to design "a seal for the United States of America." The article shows a sketch of the committee's original design, which had six symbols representing "the Countries from which these States have been peopled": a rose symbolising England; a thistle, Scotland; a harp, Ireland; a fleur-de-lis, France; a lion, Holland; and an eagle, Germany. Then, surrounding these symbols, thirteen shields appear, each with an initial of one of the thirteen states. So, this design heavily suggests that the primary meaning of "e pluribus unum" was intended as "out of the many peoples (of other countries), one (American) people." But, as Josh says, this leaves open the question as to whether or not some intended—and indeed intendthat it should have a more universal "double fulfilment".

  • "Myth and Misinformation About the Pyramid Side of the Great Seal (on the Dollar Bill)", GreatSeal.com

  •  W. Bro. David Barrett, "The "Masonic" One Dollar : Fact Or Fiction?", Freemasons-Freemasonry. com

    • In this piece, W. Bro. David Barrett says, "you will never find a pyramid being used as a symbol in a Masonic ritual." That may be so. I don't know; I've never witnessed any of their rituals. But even if the pyramid is absent from their rituals, is that a reason to believe that it has no significance within Freemasonry? My understanding is that at least some Freemasonry has been influenced by Rosicrucian thought, and the Great Pyramid at Giza is certainly a fascination for the Rosicrucians. [See Hargrave Jennings, The Rosicrucians : Their Rites and Mysteries, (1870), chapter 25, "The Great Pyramid"; also H. Spencer Lewis, The Symbolic Prophecy of the Great Pyramid, online at Rosicrucian.org.]
