More than £100billion would be wiped off the value of the British economy if the crisis in Greece led to the breakup of the eurozone.
Senior government sources say secret Treasury estimates have calculated that the UK’s output would drop by 7 per cent if the single currency plunged into fresh chaos as a result of a Greek exit from the euro.
There was a time, not too long ago (relatively speaking), that governments and the groups of elites that controlled them did not find it necessary to conscript themselves into wars of disinformation.
Propaganda was relatively straightforward. The lies were much simpler. The control of information flow was easily directed. Rules were enforced with the threat of property confiscation and execution for anyone who strayed from the rigid socio-political structure. Those who had theological, metaphysical or scientific information outside of the conventional and scripted collective world view were tortured and slaughtered. The elites kept the information to themselves, and removed its remnants from mainstream recognition, sometimes for centuries before it was rediscovered.

In 1983, Bill Bain asked Mitt Romney to launch Bain Capital, a private equity offshoot of the successful consulting firm Bain & Company. After some initial reluctance, Romney agreed. The new job came with a stipulation: Romney couldn't raise money from any current clients, Bain said, because if the private equity venture failed, he didn't want it taking the consulting firm down with it.
When Romney struggled to raise funds from other traditional sources, he and his partners started thinking outside the box. Bain executive Harry Strachan suggested that Romney meet with a group of Central American oligarchs who were looking for new investment vehicles as turmoil engulfed their region.
Greetings, this is Adrial speaking. I am here with Aurora, as usual by now. Very quickly feedback on the last dreamflight. First of all, as we have explained before, there are many reasons why you are unable to recall your dreams. The main reason is because it is literally impossible for the human mind to comprehend 5D experiences. The dream flight puts you in an environment which is familiar to you, to which you can relate without difficulties. However for a human brain to be hosting infinite divine consciousness wide awake presents many, many challenges.

This is a very potent time period, especially so this week. We see a lot of accelerated anger coming out of fear and I am going to suggest tapping points.
Plenty of YouTube videos and such that you can go and find either “TFT” for “Thought Field Therapy” or “EFT” for “Emotional Freedom Technique”. You might even just type in “faster tapping” or “faster EFT” and find a few that you relate to.
I am going to encourage you to tap on behalf of humanity, to tap out trauma, and fear and anger. Again, very good YouTube examples of how to tap out trauma, etc. So play with the tapping.

(CNN) -- Two sheriff's deputies died and two were wounded in a series of apparently linked shootings early Thursday in LaPlace, Louisiana, authorities said.
The first shooting happened in a parking lot at a steel plant in LaPlace, about 25 miles west of New Orleans, St. John the Baptist Parish Sheriff Mike Tregre said. The second happened when the deputies went to a nearby trailer park to investigate the first shooting and were ambushed by a man armed with what Tregre described as an assault rifle, he said.
