May 28 - Dust In The Wind: Dust Bowl Conditions Have Returned To Kansas Oklahoma And North Texas
Article: Signs Of The Last Times
In early 1978, a song entitled "Dust in the Wind" by a
rock band known as Kansas shot up the Billboard charts. When Kerry Livgren
penned those now famous lyrics, he probably never imagined that Dust Bowl
conditions would return to his home state just a few short decades later.
Unfortunately, the region is now in the midst
of a devastating multi-year drought which never seems to end. Right now, 56
percent of Texas, 64 percent of Oklahoma and 80 percent of Kansas are
experiencing "severe drought", and the long range forecast for this upcoming
summer is not good. In fact,
some areas in the region are already drier than they were during the worst times
of the 1930s. And the relentless high winds that are plaguing that area of the
country are kicking up some hellacious dust storms. For example, some parts of
Kansas experienced a two day dust storm last month. And Lubbock, Texas was hit
be a three day dust storm last month. We are witnessing things that we have not
seen since the depths of the Dust Bowl days, and unless the region starts
getting a serious amount of rain, things are going to get a whole lot worse
before they get any better.

May 29 - Bilderberg at 60: inside the world's most secretive conference
Article: One World Government
It's been a week of celebrations for Henry Kissinger. On
Tuesday he turned 91, on Wednesday he broke his personal best in the 400m
hurdles, and on Thursday in Copenhagen, he'll be clinking champagne flutes with
the secretary general of Nato and the queen of Spain, as they celebrate 60
glorious years of Bilderberg. I just hope George Osborne remembered to pack a
party hat.
Thursday is the opening day of the influential three-day summit and it's also
the 60th anniversary of the Bilderberg Group's first meeting, which took place
in Holland on 29 May 1954. So this year's event
is a red-letter occasion, and the official participant list shows that the 2014
conference is a peculiarly high-powered affair.
The chancellor, at his seventh Bilderberg, is
spending the next three days deep in conference with the heads of MI6, Nato, the
International Monetary Fund, HSBC, Shell, BP and Goldman Sachs International,
along with dozens of other chief executives, billionaires and high-ranking
politicians from around Europe. This year also includes a visit from the supreme
allied commander Europe, and a return of royalty - Queen Sofia of Spain and
Princess Beatrix of the Netherlands, the daughter of the Bilderberg founder
Prince Bernhard.

bolster ties with North Korea in a diplomatic nose-thumbing that could
complicate the U.S.-led effort to squeeze Pyongyang into giving up its nuclear
weapons program.
Father Matthew Schneider, a Catholic priest with the
Legion of Christ, writes on his blog about why

high schools and universities-is so powerful for young people.
