The

On this website I placed most of
the information I used as a foundation
for my seminars
(the yellow buttons) during the previous years.
For a search according to your
own favorite subjects, pls use the search
option at the bottom of
this page.
Pls. note that the
yellow buttons only contain the
information I used as a 'foundation' during my seminars. The seminars themselves were formulated in my own words at
the moment (which included whatever additional insights
and personal opinions at that point).
Underneath, and above, you furthermore see a diary of
subjects I read about and composed
a related text (to mostly news
items which I thought were promising) with occasionally (according to the
current subject) updated versions of a yellow button/seminars.

January 23, 2008: According to the
Dictionary of Gnosis & Western Esotericism, 2005, p. 1049: "Because of
the nature of its worldview, Scientology can be seen as belonging within the
domain of Western esotericism" (the latter topic I covered in a seminar in 2001 see update here:)
Now, following the recent book by Andrew Morton, “Tom Cruise: An Unauthorized
Biography” Case Study
(updated July 2008): Scientology Unveiled. July 18, 2008: Proceeding
from Thomas Craughwell’s recent description in “How
the Barbarian Invasions Shaped the Modern World” I trace the Huns to their
Mongol related origin in what is now China, and how close they came to taking
Rome: Continue... July 22, 2008: The
following three books focus on the time when Turkish troops under Mustafa Kemal (aka Ataturk) took Smyrna. However, they also
present an introduction to the larger context of the events in question. As
we will next see, some of these issues still play al role in Turkish
bid for EU membership, today:
August 7, 2008:
France has rejected Rwandan
claims accusing French officials of playing an active role in the Rwandan
genocide of 1994. But what are the real facts? Case
Study: The French Rwanda File: August 14, 2008: Case Study: Beyond Terror and Martyrdom: The Future of the Middle
East. August 28, 2008: Communal violence is
continuing in the Indian state of Orissa, and since this has been going
on for some time
we investigated: Why
Orissa Sept. 5, 2008:
While ‘Science
of the Apocalypse’ drew a law suit demanding that the U.S. halt construction,
The Telegraph today reports LHG Scientists get "end
of the world" death threats. Apocalypse: The History of an Idea.
Why some people believe the Large Hadron Collider cause the end of the world. Sept. 6, 2008:
Today Turkey's President Abdullah Gul has made a
landmark visit to Armenia. Due to Turkey’s denial of an Armenian
genocide, normally such contact would take place. In fact it is only
recently that also Germany’s historical role in the Armenian drama is emerging. And
one reason why Germany was so complacent in the matter might have been
because Wilhelm II hatched a plan where Turkey would be colonized by Germans.
Case
Study: Sept. 8, 2008:
Last week a new High-tech tool for unmasking counterfeit wine was unveiled. Yet it was hard to be sure
whether a wine was fraudulent or not-- when even definitions of what “wine”
was were not clear. Hence we researched: The Secret Wine Report. Sept. 19, 2008: While a recent book "Alexander Dugin and Extreme Right Networks" claimed neo-Eurasian
involvement with the secret services, following a mention by Newsweek and Der Spiegel, the CSM now asks if Alexandr
Dugin is really the new sage of the Kremlin. Russian Eurasianism:
A New Ideology of Empire? Sept. 13, 2008: Chinese Yellow Turban
rebellion, Celestial and Terrestrial Spirits, Taiping
Rebellion, Boxer Uprising, Falun Gong. Case Study: The
Politics of Qigong. Sept. 14, 2008: Five
bomb blasts leave 21 people dead in New Delhi. Attacks claimed by "Indian
Mujahadeen"
like recent attacks in Ahmedabad
and Jaipur. Media
reports said 10 people had been arrested. Sept. 17, 2008: Having carefully
watched last night’s ABC special “UFOs: Seeing is Believing”
we continue with: Investigating, UFOs Seeing is Believing. Sept.
24, 2008: Apocalyptic politics During the 20st Century and
Beyond. |
Sept. 28, 2008: From New Thought to
Self Improvement Books:
Sept. 29, 2008: The Politically Incorrect Guide to Psychology
and Psychiatry:
Oct. 4, 2008: Three recent books
“Healing, Hype, or Harm?: A Critical Analysis of
Complementary or Alternative Medicine”, “Suckers: How Alternative Medicine
Makes Fools of Us All" and “Trick or Treatment: The Undeniable Facts
about Alternative Medicine” do not only critique alternative medicine, but
tells us also a lot about its history. We investigated further: Alternative
Medicine in Context. Oct. 5, 2008: But while regulations in regard to alternative therapies are now being considered, it might be time to do the same with mainstream medicine today. For example when do new treatments stop being experimental? We all have a tendency to think that "newer is better" and "more is better" when it comes to medical care. We want to believe the marketing and media hype that describes many modest scientific steps as "lifesaving new technology." Case Study: Medical Advancements to the Test. Oct. 14, 2008: Where today saw the end of a Khmer Rouge trial, early 2009 will see the high level trial of chief interrogator Kaing Guek Eav, also known as Duch. And while the reason for the genocidal craze remained a mystery to date, we investigated and discovered the utopian longings and delusions of lost or stolen grandeur combined with delusions of persecution along with virulent conspiracy theories. The Why of Khmer Rouge Terror. Jan. 5, 2009: Having already
commented on the Israeli military incursion into the Gaza Strip which grabbed the headlines this week, we
investigated P1: Geostrategy
of Israel. Jan. 7, 2009: The Problems with
Israel and Palestine P2: Geostrategy
of the Palestinians. Jan. 10, 2009: The Problems with
Israel and Palestine P3: The Palestinian Challenge
Beyond Israel. 17 July 2009: Jemaah Islamiah is most likely
behind the fatal blasts in two Jakarta hotels today. Jemaah Islamiah
and Global Jihad. 25 July 2009: China
Today. Oct.10, 2009: Having
mentioned this more than a year ago, the BBC today now confirms
that Turkey and Armenia are preparing to sign a historic agreement
normalizing relations. Oct. 20, 2009: Three days
ago a new book appeared on bookstore shelf’s, Christopher Booker‘s long
awaited: The Real Global Warming Disaster. The book
confirms and partly repeats the information posted here. 9 March, 2010: Predicaments of Pakistan in Afghanistan: 15 March, 2010: The dressing-down from Israel's closest ally over the approval of
plans for new homes in Jerusalem during the US vice president's visit
continued in full force over the weekend. One solution to leave Jerusalem
undivided however would be to internationalize it. A
Brief History of the Jerusalem Problem: 10 April, 2010: While it will have little effect on the permission for the US to
have a transit bases there, it is clear from the April 7 revolution in
Kyrgyzstan, that Russia is capable of creating “color revolution”-style
uprisings in countries where it wants to increase its influence. And why
China might be concerned, plus Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan,
Georgia, Azerbaijan, The Baltic States. Continue: 23 April, 2010: Eurozone’s
Debt crisis no longer just about Greece. Continue… |
