[BBC NEWS | Peston's Picks] BBC - Peston's Picks: The New Capitalism: If we were to assume that the developing world were to take on our model and attempt a la China to deveope massively, the overall goal of international development, is this ultimately sustainable and does that mean the rest of the world is doomed to poverty without real wealth redistribution, is this crisis enforced wealth redistribution?

[Is Bush Wired?] Is Bush Wired?: The Emperor's New Suit: Campaign spokesman Reed Dickens denied that Bush has ever used an electronic device to aid his public speaking, insisting the president was wearing "nothing during the debates." When asked about the pictures taken at the Bush ranch, Dickens said the president has never used any devices except for cutting tools and earplugs to protect his ears from the high-decibel chainsaw. Nor has the Secret Service outfitted Bush with a hidden communications device, according to Dickens: "He doesn't need something like that because the Secret Service is always with him.

Interestingly, real Magickal activity perpares people for this kind of communing-- Magick-users work in groups to specifically practice opening to full-access communication, and the exercises we do teach us very plainly that there *are* ways to know others on a deep, truthful level that utterly bypass 'the veil of speech' and the lying that goes along with that veil.
