I recently wondered why there are so few protests against the cost of living crisis, suggesting a number of rather complex reasons.
Perhaps the explanation is much more simple: the media simply aren´t telling us about them! Until now, it seems.
The specter haunting Europe (and the world) is back...

Can Karl Shuker and Bobo plz weigh in on this?
G-d is a funny dude, I mean, for some reason he only cares about some nude chimpo-dimpo cousin on one tiny little planet in the vast 93 billion light year expanse...
An entertaining YouTube clip about Canadian Forteana. Some of it was known to me before, such as Ogopogo and the Raëlians, but even your favorite blogger never heard of Brother XII or prairie oysters before. Nor did I know that "Oh, Canada" was originally written in French!
The most entertaining conspiracy theory mentioned in the clip is the claim that Justin Trudeau is the secret love child of Fidel Castro! Well, Justin *does* look like Fidel when the Commendante was younger, so who knows...
Also mentions Trotsky´s brief contretemps in Canada during World War I.
No? Are you absolutely sure about this, me man? Sadhguru criticizes shamanism and related forms of magic in this intriguing clip.
Watching this as we speak. Seems interesting so far. YouTube atheist "Genetically Modified Skeptic" discusses a number of atheist communities or subcultures in the United States, including ex-Muslims, ex-JWs and ex-fundies. Still haven´t seen the parts about Pagans and Satanists! A bit surprised by the ex-Muslim section...
John Michael Greer´s recent (as in yesterday evening my time) criticism of Ken Wilber. The discussion thread is quite interesting, too.
More meat in this one than in the previous Sadhguru clips. Tantrics can make DEAD BODIES WALK in their rituals. I always assumed they were about rainbow bodies, but clearly I didn´t know half of it...
There are (supposedly) two misconceptions of Tantra. One is that it´s about sex, group sex in particular. The other is that it´s about the dark arts.
Sadhguru clearly labors under the second misapprehension, LOL.
"Tantra is not about sex", claims the old joker Sadhguru in this clip on occultism and mysticism.
No??? I´m disappointed.
It *is* a dark art, though, and so are most things in life, so perhaps there is still something to explore here...
I´m fascinated by Sadhguru´s peculiar aesthetic. Esoteric Shaivism meets Osho lite meets black holes, Big Bang and even ancient aliens?!
I´m skeptical to the Big Bang cosmology, but Sadhguru goes all in here and claims that there have been 84 Big Bangs. Or perhaps "happenings" or "roars", as he actually puts it in the clip.
We can´t say we haven´t been warned.
