Mugello Culla del Rinascimento is an exhibit that is held in 4 main locations. The one dedicated to the Medici's Villas, is in Borgo San Lorenzo, 40 minutes from Florence and includes never-before-seen portraits by Bronzino of Bianca Cappello, Cosimo il Vecchio, Pierfrancesco il Vecchio and Francesco I, the granduca who would become Bianca's husband. The exhibit also features 3 lunettes by Iusto Van Utens.Utens is one of the many foreigners to fall in love with Tuscany and decide to spend their lives here. He also was a Renaissance man, and a painter. The Flemish artist became famous when he was commisoned by Grand Duke Francesco the First to make an illustrated album of his many homes.The result of his efforts are some very famous lunettes, exhaustively detailed, that show how the Villas originally appeared.In the pottery and ceramic arts Museum at Borgo San Lorenzo, you can now admire 3 lunettes: Trebbio, Cafaggiolo and Pratolino.The 5-euro Mugello Culla del Rinascimento Card, good until the day of the exhibition, grants admission to the other locations as well: Medici in Arms at Scarperia, inside the Palazzo dei Vicari, the Bosco ai Frati Convent in San Piero a Sieve with works by Donatello and Brunelleschi, and to Vicchio where you can view paintings by Giotto, il Beato Angelico and Andrea del Castagno. Not to mention the Palazzo Medici Riccardi in Florence and other museums in the provinces.And many others benefits are included as well.Visiting hours of these four locations have been standardized for the occasion from Thursday to Sunday. A free guided tour and bus from Florence are provided on Sundays.(SeeTen Production)

We first hear Prince Philip being presented as the manager of a 20,000 acre royal estate, as though he actually does any of the work himself.Then we are introduced to the idea that one of his great passions is conservation, and that he has always been interested in conservation "long before it became terribly terribly fashionable."In 1961 Prince Philip became president of World Wildlife Fund (WWF) UK.SIR Trevor McDonald states that "many years before environmental issues became part of the political agenda, the duke took a stand." Then we see a brief clip of Prince Philip speaking at the 1970 World Conference on Pollution, in Strasbourg, calling for "drastic political action".Sir Trevor McDonald feeds the prince the idea that "at some point, some religious teaching would sort of conflict with what some of the needs of conservation are. I'm thinking about the arguments which lead to population explosion and all that."Prince Philip argues that the consequences of population explosion is what matters. He links this to what's happening around the world at the moment, and says that "the food prices are going up -- everyone thinks it's to do with not enough food, but it's really that demand is too great, too many people." He adds "it's a little embarrassing for everybody, no one quite knows how to handle it. Nobody wants their family life to be interfered with by the government." He says that overpopulation is to blame for many of the problems afflicting millions of people around the world.What was not mentioned in this propaganda piece was the fact that in August 1988 Prince Philip told Deutsche Press Agentur "in the event that I am reincarnated, I would like to return as a deadly virus, in order to contribute something to solve overpopulation." - http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/may2008/051208_prince_philip.htmHe reiterated his desire to be a catalyst for mass genocide in the foreword to his book If I Were An Animal, released in 1986:"I just wonder what it would be like to be reincarnated in an animal whose species had been so reduced in numbers than it was in danger of extinction. What would be its feelings toward the human species whose population explosion had denied it somewhere to exist.... I must confess that I am tempted to ask for reincarnation as a particularly deadly virus."The Georgie Guidestones are interesting - http://www.cuttingthroughthematrix.com/pictures.html--------------------Alan Watt discussed Prince Philip's comments in the following show:May 12, 2008Alan Watt "Cutting Through The Matrix" on RBN (ads removed):"All That Was must Pass AwayThe New Order must Have Its DayFirst must Come the End of NationBy Crisis, Circus and Degradation"mp3 - http://www.cuttingthroughthematrix.com/CTTM/Alan_Watt_CTTM_LIVEonRBN_113_All_That_Was_must_Pass_Away_May122008.mp3transcript - http://www.cuttingthroughthematrix.com/transcripts/Alan_Watt_CTTM_LIVEonRBN_113_All_That_Was_must_Pass_Away_May122008.html(Articles: "Prince Philip: 'Just too many people to feed' " by Patrick Sawer (telegraph.co.uk) - May 10, 2008. - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/theroyalfamily/1944643/Prince-Philip-Just-too-many-people-to-feed.html )"3rd option in death: Dissolve bodies" by Norma Love, The Associated Press (at seattletimes.nwsource.com) - May 9, 2008. - http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2004402374_dissolve09.html )"Things your body can do after you die" by Maggie Koerth-Baker (CNN.com) - April 30, 2008. - http://www.cnn.com/2008/LIVING/wayoflife/04/30/dead.bodies/ )--------------------The following quote is taken from the Club of Rome's book The First Global Revolution, in between the introduction and the first chapter:"No generation has ever liked its prophets, least of all those who point out the consequences of bad judgement and lack of foresight.

Here Prime Minister Gordon Brown sings the praises of Prince Philip, who is Chancellor of Edinburgh University, as well as being the Duke of Edinburgh [the mountain of Edin].Brown dreamily reminisces about his days as a student at the university. He somewhat smugly recalls "at that time I was a student elected rector to chair the university court by the whole student body. And of course none of the academics or the professional people who sat on the court wanted me to chair their university governing body, but I did." And the Duke of Edinburgh "made it possible for [Brown] and others to play a larger part in university life".Brown reveals that Prince Philip used to say that "the first 500 years of any institution's history is always the most difficult." And he would repeat that phrase whenever there was "trouble", recognising that "universities were ancient institutions but they were institutions that had to have the free-thinking, the dynamism of creative minds working together, the challenge to traditional thinking."This is a hint at the fact that the powers that be do work to extremely long-term inter-generational agendas, planning things decades ahead of time, and in some cases, centuries. And it is also a hint that certain people who attend certain universities (including those who work there) are heavily involved in the refining and the implementation of those plans. This is true of some people while they are at these universities and also long after they leave - see the Skull and Bones society at Yale University.--------------------The following quote is taken from the Club of Rome's book The First Global Revolution, in between the introduction and the first chapter:"No generation has ever liked its prophets, least of all those who point out the consequences of bad judgement and lack of foresight.

The News reveals several fraudulent applicants caught in the act -- “Is anybody really going to check? No,” said Rachel Toor ’84, a former admissions officer at Duke and author of "Admissions Confidential: An Insider’s Account of the Elite College Selection Process." “How much checking do you think is really going on with 20,000 applications?"

Student and parent doubts are showing up in the admissions office. Applicants to Duke's freshman class fell 1.1 percent, the first drop in eight years. It was one of only two schools to sustain a decline among those ranked in the top 10 by U.S. News and World Report magazine.
