Brazilian presidential candidate Eduardo Campos was killed in a plane crash in the southeastern city of Santos on Wednesday, television news network GloboNews said, without saying how it obtained the information. A source in the Brazilian Socialist Party had previously told Reuters that Campos was on the Cessna 560XL that crashed. Campos, 49, is a former governor of northeastern Pernambuco state who had the support of about 10 percent of voters in recent polls. He positioned himself as a business-friendly leftist and was a former ally of President Dilma Rousseff, who is seeking a second term. Source:www.trust.org/item/20140813154931-1egxr/ |

The victory of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun State on Saturday has been described as not a loss to the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) but to its candidate, Iyiola Omisore. The National Leader of Accord Party and the former governor of Oyo State, Rashidi Ladoja, stated this in his reaction to the re-election of Aregbesola in a chat with journalists. It was at the installation of Nureni Aderemi Adeniran as the third President of Rotary Club of Ibadan, Jericho-Metro District 9125 at the weekend. Ladoja alleged it was because of Omisore’s lack of acceptable personality to galvanise the support of the people of the state, who were desirous of change, but who could not find in the two-term Senator the kind of personality to invest their votes in. The former Oyo State helmsman recalled what he said after the Ekiti State election that the Ekiti people voted for Ayodele Fayose and not the PDP. He said people of Osun State did not reject PDP but Omisore because of his controversial personality. He lauded the election, which he described as the will of the people and congratulated both the governor and the people for a successful electoral outing. Ladoja in his comment during the programme had raised question about the proposed $1bn loan being requested for by President Goodluck Jonathan to fight insurgency, wondering why such a huge amount of loan to fight a pocket of insurgents when the country is not at war? “Nigeria fought a civil war for three years without borrowing a kobo and we are now going to take a whooping $1 billion loan to fight insurgents, one may need more facts to really understand what’s going on,” he stated. The former governor, who about two weeks ago declared that he would seek his party’s nomination for the state governorship election reiterated his commitment to the project and assured that the people of the state should expect the government formed by Accord Party in 2015.

Nduka, a 300 level Chemical Engineering student of the University of Ibadan, is however, said to be regretting his inability to celebrate with his father, Henry Ezeagwuna, who was due to mark his birthday on August 28, 2014. The Obi of Issele-Ukwu, who died in an auto crash along with Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan’s aide Sunny Ofili, at the weekend, was already distributing invitation cards for the birthday ceremony to well wishers before the tragic accident. A visit to the community showed that socio–economic activities in the town has become low keyed while residents were seen in groups discussing the demise of the monarch and worried about the identity of the lady inside the car who died alongside the monarch and the governor’s aide. The governor’s aide, on his part, was said to have been assured by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the monarch and delegates alike of representing Aniocha North state constituency in 2015, just as everything has been provided by the decease to clinch the position. The Onishe of Issele-Ukwu, a retired judge, Justice Azomani, performed the traditional rites of sitting the young monarch on the thrown awaiting full coronation later. Daily Independent source disclosed on Monday that the President General of the community, Cypril Ashibogwu, has directed that the market in the town is to remain closed for 21 days and that the market is to be relocated to somewhere else. The accident victims were burnt to death, as the Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) driven by the monarch burst into flames after hitting a truck laden with granite stones (Edo FUG 238 XA) from the rear at Otulu Junction on the Benin-Asaba- Onitsha expressway. Eyewitness account said following the accident, the rear tyros of the truck were deflated and the SUV burnt beyond recognition. Tears rolled down freely as rescue team made frantic effort to extricate the burnt corpses of the monarch and the aide that were trapped in the vehicle.

1.The All-Seeing-Eye Everyone in the United States passes around the most highly recognized symbol of the Illuminati every day. The All-Seeing Eye sits within the capstone of the pyramid depicted on every US dollar bill, and has done so ever since acknowledged freemason Franklin Roosevelt allowed it in 1935. Money is still named by many as the root of all evil, so to have a symbol associated with evil on its currency has done the government no good whatsoever. The All-Seeing Eye goes all the way back to ancient Egypt, where it represented the eye of the god Horus. The founding fathers of the United States included it in the Great Seal and so has, in the eyes of conspiracy theorists, tarnished the name of many of them because of the Illuminati connection. In its purest form, it simply was meant to mean that God was watching over those who related to it, whether Egyptian or american pioneer. Then of course we have Sauron, the all- seeing eye, watching over the land of Mordor in The Lord Of The Rings trilogy. It makes you wonder what some of JRR Tolkien’s most secret beliefs were.

2.The Inverted Cross The inverted cross has become a symbol associated tightly with satanism, and because it can be seen in catholic churches around the world, has linked that organization with satanism. The cross that Jesus was nailed to was upright, so the association with an inverted cross would seem like a rebellion against his memory. This is probably the intention of many satanists who wear it quite openly, or have it tattooed somewhere on their body. If we were to wind back the clocks of history, these satanists would be making an altogether different statement. To the original christians it symbolized humility, believing that Jesus was far more evolved than they and that they should not be associated with the same form of crucifixion. It was originally St Peter who asked to be crucified in this way, upside down, hoping to make a statement to those who followed in his footsteps.

3.The Swastika There is no doubt that Adolf Hitler was an evil man set on world domination. Whether he was associated with the Illuminati directly is always up for discussion. As with any dictator, he did not accomplish his deeds on his own, and a debate continues to rage about the sources of money that allowed him to achieve success so quickly. Within his organization were many who had been fascinated with mysticism and the occult, using it to accomplish these goals to achieve their means. To him, the swastika was a symbol of the pure Aryan, but he was gravely mistaken in this interpretation and has destroyed a universally respected symbol in many eyes. The symbol of the Nazis of course, was a Swastika, with its wheel-like shape with four angled arms. If the arms are pointing clockwise it represents the Sun, and what was for the ancients, a masculine principle. If the arms are pointing anti- clockwise it represents the moon, the feminine principle. The name itself comes from the ancient sanskrit word “swasti”, which means “well being,” something that Hitler was obviously not intending on proliferating. In Hindu symbolism it represents one of the 108 sacred symbols of the Lord Vishnu and adorns temples throughout India.

4. The Pentagram A body is discovered in the Louvre and inscribed around that body is a powerful symbol which has been used by many traditions throughout history – a pentagram. This is a scene from the highly successful movie, the Da Vinci Code. To many, the pentagram, and specifically the inverted pentagram, is one of the most blatant symbols of the Illuminati, and pictures of celebrities have been snapped purposefully to demonstrate this. Throughout history it has taken on a number of different meanings to different organizations. Greek philosopher Plato was quite the fan of it, stating that its five points represented the number of Man, as well as the elements of earth, fire, water, air and ether. To the pagans, who still use it in ritual in our present day, it is a sign of protection. In the Kabbalah, the star represents the upper parts of the tree of life associated with the qualities of justice, wisdom, mercy, understanding and transcendent splendor. This has been tied in to Freemasonry, an old society that quite possibly does have Illuminati members in its higher echelons. Finally, from an astronomical point of view, the five pointed star represents Venus, which draws out this pattern in the sky over a four year period. As you can see it has represented a number of different things to these different traditions, so to lump everyone under the single category of Illuminati may not be of the greatest help to our collective evolution.

5: The Ouroboros A belief of those within many secret societies is that we come back to this world over and over again, that we reincarnate as a new body. This can be said for more innocent traditions such as Buddhism and Yoga, though. The story goes that many of those in the shadowy organizations are extremely patient, allowing as much time as possible for their nefarious plans to unfold. They do what they can to hold on to their power and set themselves up so that in the next life they can reclaim their mantle of power. It is said that to them, the Ouroboros, a snake eating its own tail, is symbolic of their immortality and status as gods. As a symbol of alchemy, according to psychologist Carl jung, it is said to represent infinity and wholeness. It is indicative of the assimilation of our opposite nature, our shadow. According to Jung, each of us has our darkness and light, and as we assimilate our dark aspects, we are born anew ad infinitum. It is the brave person who seeks to conquer the darkness within themselves.It does not mean that they do not fight evil in the world, but that they recognize how it is equally a part of all of us. Therein lies the deeper and less fearful interpretation of this symbol, one that hopefully it can be restored to.

Brazil left a lasting impression on Mesut Ozil, and now the German soccer star is saying thank you. Ozil, who helped lead Germany to its first World Cup title in 24 years, is donating his bonus money from winning soccer's biggest prize to help pay for the surgeries of 23 Brazilian children in need. The midfield wiz, who plays his club soccer for Arsenal in the Premier League, confirmed his donation through the BigShoe charity on his Facebook page Wednesday. "Dear fans," Ozil wrote, "prior to the #WorldCup I supported the surgery of eleven sick children. Since the victory of the #WorldCup is not only due to eleven players but to our whole team, I will now raise the number to 23. "This is my personal thank-you for the hospitality of the people of Brazil. #Bigshoe #Brasil2014." Germany beat Argentina 1-0 in extra time in Sunday's final in Rio to complete the month-long tournament hosted by Brazil.

Video: E r o t i c a Being one of the most iconic and provocative music artists in the industry, it should be no surprise to see Madonna wrap up this list. The music video for her hit “E r o t i c a” back in 1992 remains shocking and controversial to this day. As possibly one of the most memorable instances of an artist baring everything in a music video, the video has both a censored and an uncensored version. The latter contains graphic sexual acts and full frontal nudity of the singer herself inter-cut with shots of her as a masked dominatrix. The video was banned from MTV after being aired a total of three times. The song is on the album of the same title which Madonna released in conjunction with her coffee table book entitled S E X. The salacious video features Footage from the actual making of the SEX book and includes cameos from Naomi Campbell and Bid Daddy Kane amongst others.

Video: Untitled (How Does it Feel?) D’Angelo’s 2000 neo-soul ballad “Untitled (How Does it Feel?)” centers around a man trying to seduce the woman he wants. In order to help get the point across, the entire music video for the song consist of D’Angelo’s nude body being shot from the torso up while singing the words to the song. There is a slight glimpse of his pelvic bone and his lower back. The video is sexually suggestive, becoming the subject of controversy. It effectively solidified the soul singer’s status as a sex symbol; however, it was later revealed that this wasn’t D’Angelo’s intention or his desire.He even took a leave of absence from the music scene as a result.

Video: Thank U While constantly giving thanks throughout her appropriately named 1998 single “Thank U” Alanis visits various parts of Los Angeles on a bus, inside a grocery store, standing on the street, even standing in the middle of the street, all while completely in the buff with nothing but her extraordinarily long hair covering her chest and a censor blurring out her nether region.

Video: Rock DJ Some guys will do anything for attention, but this might be a bit much. In Robbie Williams’ music video for the 2000 single “Rock DJ” he strips every piece of his clothing in an effort to get a female DJ’s attention. When that doesn’t work, he starts stripping off skin and organs until he’s nothing but a skeleton. Hot. He eventually gets her attention as set of bare bones at the end, and they dance together. Worth it… we guess? The video ends with the message “No Robbies were harmed during the making of this video.” Whew!
