  1. Property Zooms Ahead in Philippines (with a mammoth supply addition in 2015) Overseas workers, employees in outsourcing fuel residential demand ENLARGE New residential and commercial developments are springing up in Manila. PHOTO:TREFOR MOSS/THE WALL STREET JOURNAL By TREFOR MOSS April 7, 2015 / 1 COMMENTS MANILA—Neighborhoods inspired by Beverly Hills, fast-rising office towers and swanky malls resembling landmarks like St. Mark’s Square in Venice: It might sound like China circa 2005, but this is the Philippines in 2015. The real-estate sector here is enjoying a boom as new property floods a market usually stifled by low prices and developers notorious for completing projects years behind schedule. Now, supply and demand are rising fast as the national economy grows reliably at 6% to 8% per year. Property values are increasing steadily, drawing investors. And cash-rich developers, backed by some of the country’s biggest conglomerates, are having an easier time delivering on their promises. In a metropolis clogged with traffic and where millions still live in slums, Manila’s affluent buyers particularly favor newly built “townships”—self-contained districts where homes, offices, shops and schools are packaged together in tidy, linked communities, said Jericho Go, senior vice president at Megaworld Corp., the real-estate subsidiary of the Alliance Global Group. ENLARGE “Why would you want to go out,” Mr. Go asked, “when everyone else wants to come in?” Megaworld is doubling to 20 the number of townships in its national portfolio. They vary in size: 18 years after it was launched, Eastwood City, Megaworld’s first township in Manila, has a residential population of about 30,000 and a working population of 70,000. With other developers pursuing expansions, market records are tumbling. Last year, an unprecedented 41,810 condos valued at more than 2 million pesos (about $45,000) entered the Manila market, according to real-estate consultancy Jones Lang LaSalle, which expects almost 59,000 in 2015. The Manila office sector also is surging: A record 835,800 square meters of new Grade A space will come on stream this year, with almost 1 million expected in 2016, according to Jones Lang LaSalle. . . . While foreign buyers are showing more interest, the growth is being driven mainly by two groups of Filipinos: the 11 million overseas Filipino workers who last year sent home $24.3 billion in cash, plowing about $7 billion of it into property, according to Colliers, and the 1.1 million people working in the country’s flourishing outsourcing sector. Overseas workers are “50% of the entire demand” for residential purchases, Mr. Guevara said. Outsourcing employees, many of whom must relocate to urban centers, are driving the rental market, just as their companies are fueling the explosion in office space, he said. > more: http://www.wsj.com/articles/property-zooms-ahead-in-philippines-1428423295

  3. (Post-bankruptcy: Is Detroit now... Saved? "Saved" by its own bankruptcy?) TAKING BACK DETROIT (an article in the May 2015 National Geographic) With the nation's biggest bankruptcy in the rearview mirror, the Motor City and birthplace of Motown finds itself suddenly cool again. Tough, real, and cheap, it has plenty of space to fuel any imagination . . . Rethinking Detroit In less than five decades the once vibrant Motor City lost more than half its population and gained a reputation as a failed metropolis of abandoned buildings, widespread poverty and rampant crime. But photos of derelict homes and empty lots can create a misleading impression. The city ranked 69th in population density - people per square mile - among US cities with more than a hundred thousand people, ahead of Las Vegas, Denver, Phoenix, and Portland, Oregon to name just a few. Detroit is still losing inhabitants, but neighborhoods like Woodbridge are rebounding > Nat'l Geo : http://www.nationalgeographic-magazine.com/current-issue/ 1/ Hamtramack and Highland Park are incorporated cities completely surrounded by Detroit. Historically Polish Hamtramack now has the third largest Bangladeshi population in the U.S. 2/ Construction is starting on the privately and publicly funded 3.3-mile M-1 Rail streetcar project. It will connect downtown Detroit to the bustling Midtown commercial area. 3/ Investor interest in Detroit's downtown is growing. Residential occupancy rates are high, and two local investors have bought and are developing more than 130 properties.

  10. Wham ! Gold down $22-25 ! : Silver down $0.55-65 : Why? Gold Prices Lower In Wake Of FOMC Statement, U.S. Jobless Claims - Kitco News, Apr 30 2015 8:30AM Gold prices are sharply lower in early U.S. trading Thursday, in the wake of a bearishly construed FOMC statement. Losses were extended following an upbeat U.S. jobless claims report this morning. Fresh chart-based selling has also surfaced, including sell stop orders being triggered when technical support levels were breached in gold and silver markets. June Comex gold was last down $24.50 at $1,186.00 an ounce. May Comex silver was last down $0.75 at $15.92 an ounce. Gold saw strong selling pressure develop after the weekly U.S. jobless claims report showed a decline to 262,000 in the latest reporting week—a 15-year low. The U.S. dollar index saw a rebound on the jobs data. GBS / Gold etf traded in London ... update Support near GBS-$113, or about 113 x 10.4 = $1175/80 Silver - How to play it?

  18. The Rise is trying something New with its restaurants 'Hipster' condo soon to rise in Makati ABS-CBNnews.com : 04/14/201 MANILA – Are you a hipster or do you know someone who is? You might want to take a look at this property which will soon rise in Makati City. Shang Properties’ The Rise is located at the heart of northern Makati – dubbed “Noma” – the same area dotted with obscure cafes and watering holes, unique restaurants and art galleries. Set to be completed in 2018, the condominium project looks anything but common. Instead of the usual rectangular shape, The Rise features a building that expands into three “wings” to let guests from each unit enjoy a different view of the city – they can choose from the Makati skyline, Bonifacio Global City, Manila Bay and Sta. Mesa, among others. This model shows the unique shape of The Rise. Photo by Karen Flores, ABS-CBNnews.com The units have a standard layout but certain parts of the building are triangle-shaped, targeted at those who are looking for something a bit more “creative” – in other words, hipster. “This is a very hipster project and we love it that way,” Mike Arroyo, recruitment and training head of The Rise, said during a media event launching the real estate project. “We’re targeting a young market… It’s an economic strategy because it’s a growing market. We want to do something very relevant to our times,” he added. Perhaps the most “hipster” feature of the soon-to-rise condominium is the planned retail and restaurant space, which will feature “one-of-a-kind” tenants. Don’t expect to see any fast-food joint, popular restaurant or café chain or convenience store here, said Arroyo, as it will be nothing like Manila has ever seen. Instead, The Rise will tap young chefs and businessmen to come up with “unique” and “cool” ideas that match the condominium’s overall concept. == > more: http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/lifestyle/04/14/15/hipster-condo-soon-rise-makati (Profit-takers at The Rise are now asking...): "available for resale 1BR units" : 28E west - 28.01 square meters. 56m north - 28.01 square meters P 3.5 Million , that's: PHP 125k psm > on SSC thread

  22. A GUY FROM WALES... talks about why he lives in the Philippines EXCERPT: 3. The country is on an upward climb. I’ll admit – prior to visiting the Philippines – I had very particular expectations on what the country would be like. I expected the cities to be much less developed, owing to the media coverage I got of the Philippines after Typhoon Ondoy (Ketsana). (Image source: adventureinyou.com) Yet the country is nothing like I imagined. In fact, where I live and work now – Bonifacio Global City – can be mistaken for any other metropolitan part of my home in Wales. Some might say that areas like BGC represent just a small part of the Philippines, but I would beg to differ. As someone who also currently works in Philippine real estate, I know that there are dozens of more townships just like BGC arising all over the country and will see completion in the next few years. Real estate is booming across the Philippines, and for foreigners who are looking to settle in a home that offers the same, if not, better lifestyle similar to theirs overseas for less money, it’s a big factor. 4. The Philippine’s real estate industry is in the midst of a major historical change. The prosperity that real estate brings to the Philippines will eventually cascade to more and more Filipinos, such as BPO workers, to own their homes within the next five to ten years. This change is significant because home ownership is one of the most direct paths toward financial independence and success. You don’t even need to take my word for this fact. Just look up. The Metro Manila skyline changes almost on a daily basis, as the construction of new condominiums is always ongoing and never-ending. Yes, a significant portion of those condos will be filled up by foreigners and other outside investors, but a large portion of these units will also be bought up by hardworking Filipinos who aspire to have a better life. Conclusion In the same way that the Philippines has fulfilled my dream to a gorgeous, tropical country as my home, I hope that the coming years will see more Filipinos realizing the same, albeit permanent dream. I am saying this because I truly believe that this goal is within the reach if there is heart involved. I’m seeing more homebuyers and brokers taking this leap of faith in shaping what should our communities and way of life should be, and I want to see more people following suit. It may be scary to take that leap of faith, but knowing that I am now in the position of helping others realize that dream of being a homeowner, I simply have no regrets. I am very grateful for being able to live here and I look forward to seeing more homeowners in the years to come! == > more: http://www.zipmatch.com/blog/chose-to-live-in-philippines
  23. Dr. RAM's background... from childhood Men On Mars, Nazis in Antarctica, An Alien Named “Krill” Posted by Steven DiBasio on April 25, 2015 Glimpses inside the life (and mind) of Physicist Richard Alan Miller If you pay attention to alternative media you have likely heard the name Richard Alan Miller. In the past several years the physicist has been interviewed by all the “usual suspects” (and more), including Kerry Cassidy, George Noory, Mike Harris, Jeff Rense, Vinny Eastwood, Veritas Radio (Mel Fábregas), Red Ice Radio (Henrik Palmgren), and most recently, Dark Journalist (Daniel Liszt). Miller’s story is fascinating. As he puts it, he has “been there and done that,” with a career as a physicist in the “military” that began in the late sixties, “ending”[ii] in 1981 when he left to cultivate a life of “personal sovereignty” as a “dirt farmer” and (self-described) “mountain man.” His recent emergence was encouraged and facilitated by his friend, well-known activist, lecturer and writer, Nick Begich, son of former United States Congressman from Alaska Nick Begich Sr., and brother of former U.S. Senator Mark Begich. The following material is taken from interviews with Miller, as well as from a discussion I had with him (short excerpts are included in this article). Background Navy Man Richard Alan Miller was born on March 16, 1944 in Everett Washington to a military family, and is a legacy Swiss Mason, “holy bloodline, holy grail” of the Nelson line. His lodge was formed in 1480, he says, “to protect the bloodlines of Christ.” According to Miller, his mother and grandmother were famous psychics in the Seattle area and the television show One Step Beyond, which ran from 1959-61 on ABC, was based on their work with the Seattle Police Department in the 1930s. Miller’s Grandmother Miller’s scientific genius flourished early. During his junior year at Mount Rainier High School in 1960, he won the Navy Cruiser award with “A New Meson Field Theory,” and in 1961 he created a linear accelerator and hydrogen bubble chamber, and was, he says, the first American to create particles moving faster than the speed of light. Thereafter he studied physics at Washington State University (WSU) (Bachelor’s Degree in Theoretical Physics) and the University of Delaware, (Master’s Degree in Solid State Physics). He also did graduate work at Princeton and MIT. While at WSU he built a plasma jet subsequently used to make space tiles for NASA. He “jokes” that “several Professors were afraid I was going to blow up the campus.” His teachers have included such luminaries as Linus Pauling, Richard B. Murray, Roger Penrose, Richard Feynman, Charles Muses, Albert Szent-Györgyi, and John Wheeler. Miller believes his education was orchestrated sub rosa by “old man (Pierre) du Pont,” and that world-class scientists were “trotted out” one after another to teach him. Another teacher was Andrija Puharich,[iii] famed occultist, scientist and spook, and the man who brought psychic “spoon-bender” Uri Geller to America. [iv] Miller was also influenced by Timothy Leary with whom Miller experienced LSD for the first time in 1964 as part of a program in which “geniuses” were administered the drug. Boeing After graduate school, Miller was immediately hired by Boeing and given a top secret clearance along with three “vault permits” permitting him to explore certain reading rooms without the usual “need to know.” In these vaults Miller says he encountered three papers that changed his understanding of himself, and which were also his “first clue that things aren’t what they seem.” One paper discussed how technology Miller developed in high school was used on the Mariner 4 by NASA to establish the existence of water on Mars in 1964, while another described a manned mission to Mars in 1968, one year before the moon landing. Here Miller discusses the three documents he encountered while at Boeing, as well as a later trip to Antarctica in which he encountered what he describes as a bombed out Nazi base[v]: ___ Mankind Research Unlimited Miller was Northwest Regional Director of Mankind Research Unlimited (MRU), a front for Navy Intelligence, from 1974 to 1979. He worked out of the University of Washington, and his boss was Dr. Carl Schleicher. According to Miller, “the smoking man” of X-Files lore was based on Schleicher. Miller was himself an early consultant for the X-Files and wrote several workups for the show.[vi] Miller also helped ghostwrite the Carlos Castaneda book Tales of Power. Miller’s job with MRU was to investigate “weird phenomena” that happened on the west coast. Wilbur Franklin at Kent State University handled Midwestern strangeness, and Schleicher covered the East Coast. The chain of command at MRU is telling: “Basically at that time, old man du Pont was in charge of technology in Navy Intel. And he reported to Rockefeller.” [vii] Unusual phenomena that Miller studied included a man named Jack Schwarz who could stick needles through his arm without pain or bleeding, [viii] and “sherpas” who could climb frigid Mount Ranier barefoot without frostbite or other ill effects. Here, among other topics, Miller discusses his government funded investigations into Navajo sand paintings, purportedly capable of altering the weather: ___ ____________________________________ Seal Corporation According to Miller the Navy Seal program is an outgrowth of a predecessor organization, Seal Corporation of Amherst, Maine, an outfit for which Miller devised a method (questionnaire) for ascertaining “psychic” abilities amongst enlistees (“how to think with your gut”). Those who showed the most promise were then trained using protocols Miller developed for creating “super soldiers.” According to Miller, the first three Navy Seal units were thus trained.[ix] One of the protocols Miller developed (in conjunction with Yugoslavian hypnotist Milan Ryzl) was an “ESP” protocol which Miller used to win the “First Psychic Tournament” on September 24, 1975, an event sponsored by Llewellyn Publications in which top “psychics” participated such as Jeane Dixon and Sybil Leek. According to Miller, he won the tournament by “three orders of magnitude” often choosing correctly 18 of 20 in a given series, and never getting less than 15 of 20 correct in any series![x] This “ESP” protocol for Navy Seals is detailed in Miller’s book ESP Induction through Forms of Self-Hypnosis. The second book in the series, Power Tools for the 21st Century (and its associated workbooks, one of which is currently published), discusses additional protocols for turning soldiers into “supermen.” The third book in the series, The Non-Local Mind in Holographic Reality, will complete his “Toward the Evolution of Consciousness” trilogy. “Alien” Artifacts “Back when I was doing it, we knew about aliens but we were more worried about what the Russians were doing. And that’s a fact.” While Miller’s work did not generally involve “exopolitical” matters, he says he has personally seen “alien” artifacts. He was involved in two studies on artifacts, one of which was with scientist Wilbur Franklin, conducted at the University of Chicago “in their vaults.” As he put it: “…I know there’s something going on out there because I’ve seen technology that isn’t us.” Miller adds, however, that the technology could have come from an ancient advanced human civilization, and was not necessarily of “alien” origin. Area 51 & “Krill” Miller says that he visited Groom Lake once, in the mid-1970s. The reason for the visit was rather simple: He was summoned there … by a seven to eight foot humanoid “alien” named Krill.[xi] The story Miller was told about Krill’s background is as follows: After the Roswell crash, two dead aliens and a dying alien were recovered. After the third alien died an autopsy was performed, at which time a fourth alien (Krill) showed up demanding the bodies of the three dead aliens (because “…they could apparently resurrect those aliens on a physical plane. They had that kind of technology”). This happened during Harry Truman’s presidency, and “Majestic was set up” by or with Krill as a centerpiece of the program. Miller does not know why Krill wanted to meet him.[xii] For his part Miller knew nothing about Krill and little about Roswell: “I wasn’t even briefed.” Upon arrival at “Area 51” Miller was taken eight floors below ground and brought into a room where sixty or so documents had been placed on a table. He was allotted one hour and “…I just started reading [the documents], grabbing one after another without even knowing what I’m looking at, just grabbing the documents, trying to get it into my optical memory, when the door opened,” and in walked Krill, a being with a “feminine” feel (though “she” was apparently sexless) and a long neck. Miller spent an hour with Krill in a filmed encounter, during which Miller and Krill sat at opposite ends of a small table completely silent, dialoguing back and forth telepathically. “And that’s where I … first became familiar with synthetic telepathy. It’s how she was talking to me in my mind.” Following the encounter Miller’s memory was somehow blocked (apparently by Krill), so that he was unable to recall what they “talked” about. “I just remember the peace and something very feminine talking to me inside my head and I dialogued it back.” Later, “[the military] … spent more than eight hours in debriefing, trying to with hypnosis and scopolamine and something else, I forget, trying to … debrief me,” but to no avail. “And the problem is there’s some kind of a hypnotic block that … uh uh it um it um uh it it uh blocks my head like that. It it just it it I I can’t um I can’t get at it, it’s it’s like it’s there.” “That’s my total alien experience.”[xiii] Synthetic Telepathy In the early seventies while at the University of Washington Miller worked in a lab next to infamous mind control scientist Jose Delgado.[xiv] Delgado was doing chip implants in monkeys, and Miller was working with microwaves. Another scientist was studying drugs such as ketamine and BZ gas. A researcher named Allan Frey had discovered a “new sensorimotor input” in man, a kind of “sixth sense,” which involved microwaves. Building on Frey’s work, and inspired, he says, by his experience with Krill, Miller was involved in developing “synthetic telepathy,” a technology that enables an audio signal (voices etc.) to be projected with microwaves into a person’s head, bypassing the ears. Other names for this technology include “voice to skull” and “voice of God” weaponry. Newer capabilities include the ability to clone emotions and mental states (psychosis, suicidal depression, etc.) onto another person. This is sometimes referred to as “EEG cloning.” Chemtrails / “BioAPI” Miller is concerned about the possibility of a BioAPI (Biological Application Programming Interface) as one project that may be in play in conjunction with the widespread spraying of “chemtrails.”[xv] Part of his concern arises from his experience at the University of Washington working on a “site selective molecule” that could be put in drinking water (for example) and which would, following ingestion, migrate to the brain whereupon it could be activated using microwaves.[xvi] A particular area of interest was the contingent negative variation (CNV) or “jump potential between neurons.” Miller claims that control over the CNV could possibly allow an external agency to “take over someone’s will.” Miller’s concern is that nanoparticles in chemtrails could also target the CNV. He is fond of quoting Merlin: “Anything not specifically forbidden is mandatory … which means, if it’s possible, it’s probable.”[xvii] And he believes it may well be possible. “Distractions” bookstore logo Miller has not been entirely free from unwanted attention. In 1974 his business (he owned an occult bookstore and herb shop named Beltane) was raided by Army intelligence and “Feds.” [xviii] Four people entered, two in civilian clothes and two in military fatigues. He was held under arrest while his papers were ransacked. The agents seemed mainly interested in a paper he had recently written and delivered called “Embryonic Holography,” seizing all work related to this topic. Miller later re-wrote “Embryonic Holography” from memory. More recently, in July 2014, someone broke into his home and wiped his hard-drive (and backup drive). Miller’s journal (what he calls his “magical memory”) was lost as well as ten manuscripts, which he is now rewriting. Books In addition to the books already mentioned, Miller has written many other books on magick and alternative agriculture including The Encyclopedia of Alternative Agriculture, The Magical and Ritual Use of Herbs, and The Modern Alchemist. Unpublished works include Spook Central (MRU Reports), The Seal Reports, Electro-Magick and Yogatronics, and The Holistic Qabalah. Publication of these works awaits a suitable patron. Conclusion “There’s a new world ahead of us where, you know, it’s gonna be different.” Miller believes how this “new world” unfolds is up to us — that we must each decide, individually, to “change the movie.” He is fond of a saying he attributes to Rudolf Steiner, spoken in conversation with Miller’s great-grandfather: “We are no longer at war in the physical world. If you want to change this world, change yourself and the world changes with you.” A mystical idea no doubt. Perhaps even true? == > http://www.veteranstoday.com/2015/04/25/men-on-mars-nazis-in-antarctica-an-alien-named-krill/

I’m happy to answer any questions you may have on subjects such as Black Budget Economy, The Breakaway Civilization/Secret Space Program and UFO Secrecy. I think in this crucial time we need a whole new way to look at the world and the levels of disinformation in our media institutions. I call this new approach “Dark Journalism” and feel it’s crucial we discover the truth and achieve transparency from the ruling elite in our culture. If ever we needed to unmask the forces controlling our reality, this is the time!"
