Privatized UFO Knowledge & The New Age Movement [Audio]

Richard Dolan is a researcher, author, and public speaker on the topic of UFOs and related matters. He earned a Bachelor’s degree in History and English Literature at Alfred University, then earned a Master’s degree in History at the University of Rochester. He also received a Certificate in Political Ideologies from Exeter College at Oxford University, and was a finalist for a Rhodes Scholarship. Since publishing his books on the subject of UFOs starting in 2000, Richard has travelled throughout the U.S. and world speaking to audiences.

In the first hour, we’ll discuss how UFO knowledge is at the heart of America’s black budget. We talk about how UFO knowledge has been privatized and speculate on the players in this secret agenda. Richard talks about the possibility of other intelligences who are involved.

Rare Plant Eats Toxic Heavy Metals In Phytoremediation Miracle

NaturalNews  May 26 2014

“Some species of plant are able to break chemical pollutants into less toxic or nontoxic components, while others absorb contaminants and expel them in a less toxic, gaseous state.” ~David Gutierrez

Scientists from the University of the Philippines, Los Banos, and the University of Melbourne have discovered a new species of plant that is able to absorb nickel from the soil at concentrations up to 1,000 times higher than most other plants, as reported in the journal PhytoKeys. The researchers hope that the plant might be used as a tool to help remediate contaminated soils.

The new species was identified as part of a project funded by the Department of Science and Technology — Philippine Council for Industry, Energy, and Emerging Technology Research and Development (DOST-PCIEERD).

Species thrives in marginal soil

The new species, dubbed Rinorea niccolifera, was identified in the western region of Luzon Island in the Philippines. The soils in this area are well-known for being high in heavy metals, an environmental condition that is hostile to most species of plant. Yet, the newly discovered plant is able not only to grow in such conditions but also to thrive. The plant actively pulls nickel out of the soil, accumulating it in its tissues up to a concentration of 18,000 parts per million — 100 to 1,000 times higher than the maximum concentrations tolerated by most plants.

Nickel hyperaccumulation such as that observed in R. niccolifera is so rare that only 450 plant species have been identified that are capable of it, out of an estimated 300,000 extant species of vascular plant worldwide. Even among plants found in nickel-rich soils, only 0.5 percent to 1 percent are capable of hyperaccumulation.

“[Hyperaccumulator] plants have great potentials for the development of green technologies, for example, ‘phytoremediation’ and ‘phytomining,'” researcher Augustine Doronila said.
