Sick! Child Porn Legal?!?!
Ok. Could someone fix this title and fix our laws! The person may or may not have been viewing child pornography, yet either way No One Should Decide Its LEGAL! Let alone write it. There is nothing Legal about seeing children naked and/or having intercourse on the internet or any where else whether it be forced or voluntary. If you are an “adult”, over the age of 18 in most parts of the world, then that is your business. All I hear is respect, dignity and integrity. The title only gives sick people the excuse to continue being sick if not even more sick.
Mind you, those of you who look at child pornography you are only creating it to come back to you. And God help you too if you have children one day or at present. For it may be your children who are on the internet. And Im sure the shoe wont feel as comfortable being worn on the other foot.
Also, for those of you who make these images available for others to view. Shame! And for those of you who voluntarily commit these act and are under the age of 18, Please think twice!
Moms, Dads, Caretakers, Guardians, Families of these young beings, these youths, our future, please take care of them and teach them self respect and how to care about and love themselves. It makes no sense for our children to be displayed in public view in this manner.
Some things should be strictly for adults and not for children to have access to. This is what we should protect. And also support sites that empower children and not degrade them. Maybe if people reported these sites instead of view them we could be saving hundreds of children who are bullied, vulnerable, abused, kidnapped(child trafficking), helpless and victims to societies sickness.
Yes! Society is sick not to say anything and view it. If an elderly person fell would you help them? If you saw your neighbors child naked on the internet would you ignore it? We do not all have to follow the ways of a sick society. Why not be the change and create a healthy one instead.

According to Clif High on Halfpasthuman, Banksters are taught a new phrase (starting on May 14th)....planet wide, by the way....
Anticipatory repudiation.- also called an anticipatory breach, is a term in the law of contracts that describes a declaration by the promising party to a contract, that he or she does not intend to live up to his or her obligations under the contract.[1]

Regarding the theme of a previous blog of mine about creating a new paradigm, I came across
this online article that I thought was fantastic news. If you would like to read the article
the link is below.
http://www.cnn.com/2012/05/09/opinion/sachs-global-childrens-health/index.html?hpt=hp_t2
"(CNN) -- There is a hidden revolution at work that can transform the lives of a billion
of the poorest people on the planet.
"The dream of health for all, even the poorest of the poor, can become a reality because of
recent breakthroughs in technology and health systems. Scientific results that our Millennium
Project team published this week in The Lancet, coupled with broader trends around the world,
should be a wake-up call: We can end the deaths of millions of young children and mothers each
year by building on recent innovations."
The article states that the big picture is thrilling, that globally, the deaths of children are
falling, funding for primary health care in the poorest countries had been rising (but is now kind
of stagnating, yet it is still high compared with years ago), and with advances in medicine and
ways of distributing it so many more lives can be saved....
The consciousness for the ending of "survival mode" is here! And the beginning of a new
paradigm is becoming a reality. Such incredible news! We have such power to make change
happen in global ways.

Canada's last penny minted
Last million pennies produced will be made available as a special collector product
CBC News

Finance Minister Jim Flaherty presses the button that stamped the last penny at the Royal Canadian Mint in Winnipeg on Friday. (CBC)
The penny's days are numbered in Canada, as the Royal Canadian Mint has made its final one-cent coin.
Federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty and other government officials took part in a ceremonial coin strike Friday at the mint's coin production facility in Winnipeg, to mark the end of production of the penny.
"The humble one-cent circulation coin was a workhorse of Canadian commerce," Flaherty said, recalling the penny's introduction over 100 years ago. "Unfortunately…over time inflation eroded the purchasing power of the penny and multiplied its manufacturing cost.
"The time has come to make the sensible decision to end production of the coin which is underused by Canadians, no longer vital to commerce and ultimately a burden on Canada's balance sheet."
Following a short countdown, Flaherty pressed a button on a machine that stamped the last penny, which tumbled out of the machine into an empty bowl.
That last penny is going to a museum, officials told the CBC's Chris Glover.
The last million pennies to be produced will be made available to the public as a special collector product, said Canadian Mint president and CEO Ian Bennett.
Flaherty and Winnipeg Conservative MP Shelly Glover, the parliamentary secretary to the minister of finance, encouraged Canadians to donate their old pennies to charities like Habitat for Humanity.
In March, Flaherty announced in the federal budget that the penny would be eliminated from Canada's coinage system, citing low purchasing power and rising production costs.
In part because of rising prices for the metals it's made of, it actually costs 1.6 cents to produce every penny.
Ottawa estimates that it loses $11 million a year producing and distributing the penny, and that doesn't include the costs and frustrations for businesses and consumers that use them in transactions.
The government will phase the penny out starting this fall, when the mint will stop distributing the coin to financial institutions.
Winnipeg Centre NDP MP Pat Martin, who had lobbied for years to get the penny scrapped, said he is happy to see the coin finally fade away.
"People don't even bend over to pick them up off the ground anymore. If you throw one in a panhandler's cup, you get the stink-eye from them," Martin told CBC News.
"So, I mean, what good are they, right?"
Business to round out prices
Over time, the penny will effectively become extinct, although the government has noted that one-cent coins will always be accepted in cash transactions for as long as people are holding on to them.
Businesses will be expected to apply rounding to their cash transactions, according to the government.
Martin said rounding up or down prices is a method that works in other countries that have stopped using their low-value coins.
"If it's 96, 97, you round down. If it's 98, 99, you round up. It rounds down as often as it rounds up and you won't even notice," he said.
"All you'll notice is your pockets will be lighter and you won't have a big bucket of pennies under your bed that you have to worry about all the time."
Credit, debit and cheque transactions will be unaffected, so one cent will still be the base unit of Canadian currency.
"There's 30 billion pennies in circulation, you know, already — that's billion with a 'B' — and they produce another billion more every year," Martin said.
"I mean, finally somebody came to their senses."
Collector's item?
With the one-cent coin's demise looming, will your dusty jar full of pennies become a prized collectible?
The short answer is no, says Sheldon Sturrey, owner of Collectibles Canada Coin and Currency in Winnipeg.
Sturrey said pennies produced after about 1940 are not very valuable to collectors.
The most highly prized Canadian pennies are from the 1850s, and some from the 1920s are also valuable, he said.
Sturrey said he has seen people buying rolls of new pennies lately, in the hopes of cashing them in later as vintage collectibles.
"You know, maybe in 20 years they might be, but it's going to be a long time coming; it's not going to be an overnight boom," he said.
In order for a coin to become valuable, it has to have come from a special pressing, Sturrey said.
What's a penny made of?
The Canadian penny currently consists of 94 per cent steel, 4.5 per cent copper plating and 1.5 per cent nickel, according to the Royal Canadian Mint.
Until 1997, the penny was made almost entirely of copper.
If you add up all the copper from all the pennies in Canadians' pockets, buckets and spaces between seat cushions, there is at least 31,000 tonnes of the metal.
At current market prices, that would be worth close to $300 million.
It is only a penny and I probably should not be sad, but I am. Of course I will adjust because there is no choice here. Now we must collect our few pennies, roll them and get them to the bank while the banks are still accepting them.
Blessings,

New study finds mysterious lack of dark matter in Sun’s neighborhood
The results may mean that attempts to directly detect particles of the invisible substance on Earth are likely to be unsuccessful.
By ESO, Garching, Germany — Published: April 19, 2012
astronomy.com
The most accurate study so far of the motions of stars in the Milky Way has found no evidence for dark matter in a large volume around the Sun. According to widely accepted theories, the solar neighborhood was expected to be filled with dark matter, a mysterious invisible substance that can only be detected indirectly by the gravitational force it exerts. But a new study by a team of astronomers in Chile has found that these theories just do not fit the observational facts. This may mean that attempts to directly detect dark matter particles on Earth are unlikely to be successful.
A team using the MPG/ESO 2.2-meter telescope at the European Southern Observatory’s (ESO) La Silla Observatory, along with other telescopes, has mapped the motions of more than 400 stars up to 13,000 light-years from the Sun. From this new data, they have calculated the mass of material in the vicinity of the Sun, in a volume four times larger than ever considered before.
“The amount of mass that we derive matches very well with what we see — stars, dust, and gas — in the region around the Sun,” said Christian Moni Bidin from the University of Concepcion in Chile. “But this leaves no room for the extra material — dark matter — that we were expecting. Our calculations show that it should have shown up very clearly in our measurements. But it was just not there!”
Dark matter is a mysterious substance that cannot be seen but instead shows itself by its gravitational attraction for the material around it. This extra ingredient in the cosmos was originally suggested to explain why the outer parts of galaxies, including the Milky Way, rotated so quickly, but dark matter now also forms an essential component of theories of how galaxies formed and evolved.
Today, it is widely accepted that this dark component constitutes about 80 percent of the mass in the universe, despite the fact that it has resisted all attempts to clarify its nature, which remains obscure. All attempts so far to detect dark matter in laboratories on Earth have failed.
By very carefully measuring the motions of many stars, particularly those away from the plane of the Milky Way, the team could work backward to deduce how much matter is present. The motions are a result of the mutual gravitational attraction of all the material, whether normal matter such as stars, or dark matter.
Astronomers’ existing models of how galaxies form and rotate suggest that the Milky Way is surrounded by a halo of dark matter. They are not able to precisely predict what shape this halo takes, but they do expect to find significant amounts in the region around the Sun. But only unlikely shapes for the dark matter halo — such as a highly elongated form — can explain the lack of dark matter uncovered in the new study.
The new results also mean that attempts to detect dark matter on Earth by trying to spot the rare interactions between dark matter particles and “normal” matter are unlikely to be successful.
“Despite the new results, the Milky Way certainly rotates much faster than the visible matter alone can account for,” said Moni Biden. “So, if dark matter is not present where we expected it, a new solution for the missing mass problem must be found. Our results contradict the currently accepted models. The mystery of dark matter has just become even more mysterious. Future surveys, such as the European Space Agency’s Gaia mission, will be crucial to move beyond this point.”
This annotated artist’s impression shows the Milky Way Galaxy. The blue halo of material surrounding the galaxy indicates the expected distribution of the mysterious dark matter. New measurements based on the movements of stars show that the amount of dark matter in this region around the Sun is far smaller than predicted and have indicated that there is no significant dark matter at all in our neighborhood. The blue sphere centered on the Sun’s position shows the approximate size of the newly surveyed volume, but not its precise shape. Credit: ESO/L. Calçada

The head of a Buddha statue peeks above the dirt in Handan (map), China, where archaeologists have reportedly unearthed nearly 3,000 Buddha statues, which could be up to 1,500 years old.
The discovery is believed to be the largest of its kind since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, an archaeologist with the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences told reporters in late March, according to the Associated Press.
The Buddha statues—most of which are made of white marble and limestone and many of which are broken—could date back to the Eastern Wei and Northern Qi dynasties (A.D. 534 to 577), experts say.
The statues—discovered during a dig outside of Ye, the ancient capital of the Eastern Wei and Northern Qi dynasties—may have been rounded up and buried after the fall of the Northern Qi dynasty by later emperors in an attempt to purge the country of Buddhism.
"It may have been that some of the ruins and broken sculptures from the past were gathered from old temple sites and buried in a pit," said Katherine Tsiang, director of the Center for the Art of East Asia at the University of Chicago.
In some cases, the Buddhist statues may have been buried by the faithful themselves in times of danger.
"In other sites, there are inscriptions that suggest that old damaged sculptures were not just dumped in a pit, but respectfully buried in an orderly way," Tsiang said.

April 16, 2012 – SWEDEN – According to the locals sometimes the tremor around here can last up to 45 minutes!. It looks like something taken straight from a horror movie. An enormous hole leading to hell, some would say. But this is not a movie. This is a real and dangerous phenomenon. New shocking images clearly show the enormous pit in Sweden is expanding. The 200 foot wide open pit is called the “Fabiangropen’ (Fabian pit) and is in the Malmberget area is located at Gällivare, 75km from Kiruna, Sweden. As you can see on the map, it is in the northern regions of Sweden. Due to presence of many orebodies, mining at Malmberget is conducted at different levels at 600m, 815m and 1,000m. The mining company LKAB has now taken new pictures of the pit. In the pictures you see the new Fabian pit which has expanded during the night between Tuesday and Wednesday in the former cavity full width. The pit is square and 150×150 meters high. This is naturally very bad news for people who live close to this giant sinkhole and many are afraid and also annoyed because of the loud noises. –Message to Eagle

Posted by our Brother Michael~
at: http://mountzion144.ning.com/
Much has been said, especially on Facebook and Twitter about "security" and the "need" to invoke 'secure browsing' lest one gets *hacked".
Recent events have made me take a closer look at these rumours and what I find is basically no different to every other internet scam that has been invented to try to weasle money from people on false pretences and using scare tactics.
In order to put this whole thing into context, there is something that needs to be made very clear from the outset and that is:
NOTHING on a computer that is connected to the internet is SECURE.
This is precisely the reason WHY hackers can do what they do in the first place. And if you think that whilst a good hacker can get into ANY site on the planet, do you really think that your $99 copy of Norton Security or enabling "secure browsing" is going to stop that ?
If you do, then you are making a BIG mistake.
Many people are under the impression that because they have installed some "security program" or other type of protection that that they are "safe".
ALL THIS IS COMPLETE RUBBISH
EVERYTHING that is put out on the internet is accessible.
If you are scared about certain information being seen by somebody then DON'T PUT IT ON A COMPUTER (at least one that has an internet connection.)
What I have found is that this whole https protocol is basically a scare tactic. Various sites will try to convince you that going to normal http sites is dangerous because "your data may be intercepted and/or altered".
Whilst this, in itself, is not a lie, it is extremely misleading.
What it implies is also not only misleading, but a lie as well.
Secure browsing simply encrypts your data for transmission to its destination. But that is only one TINY area! It makes no difference whatsover to what happens AFTER the data gets to the site.
Also, if a hacker REALLY wanted to, he could simply DEcrpyt the data stream and still get to the information you are trying to conceal.
If you own or run a server of any kind, you will know that you can go into your database and get any information you want - email addresses, passwords, names, dates, security or card numbers, age, address - basically ANYTHING that the user has given out.
In the 30 years I have been on the net - and that is virtually EVERY day - I have only ever been "hacked" TWICE - and both times, it was only one of my sites with some spammers posting rubbish links - but MY data has never been touched.
I have used my ATM card on the net hundreds, if not over a thousand times, and never had a problem.
So when a friend of mine skyped me and said he couldn't get into my site because "it wasn't secure", I was MOST surprised.
After investigating the matter, I found out he was trying to look at one of my apps on Facebook and that Facebook showed him this message:
(Naturally, it wasn't about google, but my site in this case)
Now, having already spent good money on making my server as secure as possible for users, I was quite perplexed (and a little *pissed off*!) by this, so that gave me reason to investigate this whole thing more deeply.
Basically, the story goes that to avoid this message form coming up, one has to purchase an "SSL certificate" - so I made the usual enquiries to find out how much this would cost. The quotes I got back were all within the range of $65 per year to $199 per year.
On top of that, each one is only valid for 1 (one!) domain.
I have 18 domains, so to make them all "secure" would cost between $1170 and $3582 PER YEAR! - that, on TOP of the already existing hosting charges and doman renewal fees.
Considering I don't make any money from any of these sites, this is absolutely ridiculous!
Also, in view of the dubious value of these "security certificates", I see it as no more than a con to get people to spend money for things that are not really needed.
I can see now how the whole thing works.
Get people scared about hackers, then when they refuse to visit certain sites, those site owners are forced to buy these certificates...
Again, everyone, this is no more and no less than yet another scare tactic.
Another bit of evidence is that even GOOGLE itself has not fallen for this and when you go to http://google.com, you will see that IT is NOT a "secure" site (and neither is this one (Ning).
Surely that should be enough evidence there is something fishy going on here!
Another little "frill" is that normally, this warning message allows you to bypass it and go to the site anyway, but if you receive it on Facebook, it won't even let you do that!
The "Get me outa here!" button has been designed to scare people unecessarily.
So, in summary, if you have secure browsing enabled and are avoiding certain sites because of this message, you are falling into this artificial fear-based mentality that they want to create.
My advice is to switch it off and not support this corrupt campaign.
And please share this message far and wide - it is time we put a stop to these profiteering so-and so's.

POTENCY OF SPEECH & SOUND, DEVAS/CONSCIOUS POWERS
Erle Frayne D. Argonza
To continue with our reflections on Theos Sophia or divine wisdom, let us examine some more truths about the septenary hierarchies. For this note, the subject of potency of speech & sound will be touched, as this provides us insights about the powers immanent in names and mantra/invocation.
The ‘army of the voice’ or the Word and the dhyan chohans or devas (conscious intelligent powers in nature) are presented, to see how they dovetail into the potency of speech & sound. Let us first note the declaration of the Perfected Ones, in Sloka 4 of Stanza 4, Book of Dzyan, as follows:
THIS WAS THE ARMY OF THE VOICE—THE DIVINE SEPTENARY. THE SPARKS OF THE SEVEN ARE SUBJECT TO, AND THE SERVANTS OF, THE FIRST, SECOND, THIRD, FOURTH, FIFTH, SIXTH, AND THE SEVENTH OF THE SEVEN (a). THESE (“sparks”) ARE CALLED SPHERES, TRIANGLES, CUBES, LINES, AND MODELLERS; FOR THUS STANDS THE ETERNAL NIDANA—THE OI-HA-HOU (the permutation of Oeaohoo) (b).*
HPBlavatsky, magnanimous chela of the mahatmas & chohans, substantiated the said contention, in Volume I, Secret Doctrine, to note:
(a) This Sloka gives again a brief analysis of the Hierarchies of the Dhyan Chohans, called Devas (gods) in India, or the conscious intelligent powers in Nature. To this Hierarchy correspond the actual types into which humanity may be divided; for humanity, as a whole, is in reality a materialized though as yet imperfect expression thereof. The “army of the Voice” is a term closely connected with the mystery of Sound and Speech, as an effect and corollary of the cause—Divine Thought. As beautifully expressed by P. Christian, the learned author of “The History of Magic” and of “L’Homme Rouge des Tuileries,” the word spoken by, as well as the name of, every individual largely determine his future fate. Why? Because—
—“When our Soul (mind) creates or evokes a thought, the representative sign of that thought is self-engraved upon the astral fluid, which is the receptacle and, so to say, the mirror of all the manifestations of being.
“The sign expresses the thing: the thing is the (hidden or occult) virtue of the sign.
“To pronounce a word is to evoke a thought, and make it present: the magnetic potency of the human speech is the commencement of every manifestation in the Occult World. To utter a Name is not only to define a Being (an Entity), but to place it under and condemn it through the emission of the Word (Verbum), to the influence of one or more Occult potencies. Things are, for every one of us, that which it (the Word) makes them while naming them. The Word (Verbum) or the speech of every man is, quite unconsciously to himself, a BLESSING or a CURSE; this is why our present ignorance about the properties or attributes of the IDEA as well as about the attributes and properties of MATTER, is often fatal to us.
“Yes, names (and words) are either BENEFICENT or MALEFICENT; they are, in a certain sense, either venomous or health-giving, according to the hidden influences attached by Supreme Wisdom to their elements, that is to say, to the LETTERS which compose them, and the NUMBERS correlative to these letters.”
This is strictly true as an esoteric teaching accepted by all the Eastern Schools of Occultism. In the Sanskrit, as also in the Hebrew and all other alphabets, every letter has its occult meaning and its rationale; it is a cause and an effect of a preceding cause and a combination of these very often produces the most magical effect. The vowels, especially, contain the most occult and formidable potencies. The Mantras (esoterically, magical rather than religious) are chanted by the Brahmins and so are the Vedas and other Scriptures.
The “Army of the Voice, ‘ is the prototype of the “Host of the Logos,” or the “WORD” of the Sepher Jezirah, called in the Secret Doctrine “the One Number issued from No-Number”—the One Eternal Principle. The esoteric theogony begins with the One, manifested, therefore not eternal in its presence and being, if eternal in its essence; the number of the numbers and numbered—the latter proceeding from the Voice, the feminine Vâch, Satarupa “of the hundred forms,” or Nature. It is from this number 10, or creative nature, the Mother (the occult cypher, or “nought,” ever procreating and multiplying in union with the Unit “1,” one, or the Spirit of Life), that the whole Universe proceeded.
In the Anugîtâ a conversation is given (ch. vi., 15) between a Brâhmana and his wife, on the origin of Speech and its occult properties.* The wife asks how Speech came into existence, and which was prior to the other, Speech or Mind. The Brâhmana tells her that the Apâna (inspirational breath) becoming lord, changes that intelligence, which does not understand Speech or Words, into the state of Apâna, and thus opens the mind. Thereupon he tells her a story, a dialogue between Speech and Mind. “Both went to the Self of Being (i.e., to the individual Higher Self, as Nilakantha thinks, to Prajâpati, according to the commentator Arjûna Misra), and asked him to destroy their doubts and decide which of them preceded and was superior to the other. To this the lord said: ‘Mind is superior.’ But Speech answered the Self of Being, by saying: ‘I verily yield (you) your desires,’ meaning that by speech he acquired what he desired. Thereupon again, the Self told her that there are two minds, the ‘movable’ and the ‘immovable.’ ‘The immovable is with me,’ he said, ‘the movable is in your dominion’ (i.e. of Speech) on the plane of matter. To that you are superior. But inasmuch, O beautiful one, as you came personally to speak to me (in the way you did, i.e. proudly), therefore, O, Sarasvati! you shall never speak after (hard) exhalation.” “The goddess Speech” (Sarasvati, a later form or aspect of Vâch, the goddess also of secret learning or Esoteric Wisdom), “verily, dwelt always between the Prâna and the Apâna. But O noble one! going with the Apâna wind (vital air), though impelled, without the Prâna (expirational breath), she ran up to Prajâpati (Brahmâ), saying, ‘Be pleased, O venerable sir!’ Then the Prâna appeared again, nourishing Speech. And, therefore, Speech never speaks after (hard or inspirational) exhalation. It is always noisy or noiseless. Of these two, the noiseless is the superior to the noisy (Speech) . . . The (speech) which is produced in the body by means of the Prâna, and which then goes (is transformed) into Apâna, and then becoming assimilated with the Udâna (physical organs of Speech) . . . then finally dwells in the Samâna (‘at the navel in the form of sound, as the material cause of all words,’ says Arjûna Misra). So Speech formerly spoke. Hence the mind is distinguished by reason of its being immovable, and the Goddess (Speech) by reason of her being movable.”
This allegory is at the root of the Occult law, which prescribes silence upon the knowledge of certain secret and invisible things perceptible only to the spiritual mind (the 6th sense), and which cannot be expressed by “noisy” or uttered speech. This chapter of Anugîtâ explains, says Arjuna Misra, Prânâyâma, or regulation of the breath in Yoga practices. This mode, however, without the previous acquisition of, or at least full understanding of the two higher senses, of which there are seven, as will be shown, pertains rather to the lower Yoga. The Hâtha so called was and still is discountenanced by the Arhats. It is injurious to the health and alone can never develop into Raj Yoga. This story is quoted to show how inseparably connected are, in the metaphysics of old, intelligent beings, or rather “Intelligences,” with every sense or function whether physical or mental. The Occult claim that there are seven senses in man, as in nature, as there are seven states of consciousness, is corroborated in the same work, chapter vii., on Pratyâhâra (the restraint and regulation of the senses, Prânâyâma being that of the “vital winds” or breath). The Brâhmana speaks in it “of the institution of the seven sacrificial Priests (Hotris). He says: “The nose and the eyes, and the tongue, and the skin and the ear as the fifth (or smell, sight, taste, touch and hearing), mind and understanding are the seven sacrificial priests separately stationed”; and which “dwelling in a minute space (still) do not perceive each other” on this sensuous plane, none of them except mind. For mind says: “The nose smells not without me, the eye does not take in colour, etc., etc. I am the eternal chief among all elements (i.e., senses). Without me, the senses never shine, like an empty dwelling, or like fires the flames of which are extinct. Without me, all beings, like fuel half dried and half moist, fail to apprehend qualities or objects even with the senses exerting themselves.”*
This, of course, with regard only to mind on the sensuous plane. Spiritual mind (the upper portion or aspect of the impersonal MANAS) takes no cognisance of the senses in physical man. How well the ancients were acquainted with the correlation of forces and all the recently discovered phenomena of mental and physical faculties and functions, with many more mysteries also—may be found in reading chapters vii. and viii. of this (in philosophy and mystic learning) priceless work. See the quarrel of the senses about their respective superiority and their taking the Brahman, the lord of all creatures, for their arbiter. “You are all greatest and not greatest,” or superior to objects, as A. Misra says, none being independent of the other. “You are all possessed of one another’s qualities. All are greatest in their own spheres and all support one another. There is one unmoving (life-wind or breath, the ‘Yoga inhalation,’ so called, which is the breath of the One or Higher SELF). That is the (or my) own Self, accumulated in numerous (forms).”
This Breath, Voice, Self or “Wind” (pneuma?) is the Synthesis of the Seven Senses, noumenally all minor deities and esoterically—the septenary and the “Army of the VOICE.”
(b) Next we see Cosmic matter scattering and forming itself into elements; grouped into the mystic four within the fifth element—Ether, the lining of Akasa, the Anima Mundi or Mother of Kosmos. “Dots, Lines, Triangles, Cubes, Circles” and finally “Spheres”—why or how? Because, says the Commentary, such is the first law of Nature, and because Nature geometrizes universally in all her manifestations. There is an inherent law—not only in the primordial, but also in the manifested matter of our phenomenal plane—by which Nature correlates her geometrical forms, and later, also, her compound elements; and in which there is no place for accident or chance. It is a fundamental law in Occultism, that there is no rest or cessation of motion in Nature.* That which seems rest is only the change of one form into another; the change of substance going hand in hand with that of form—as we are taught in Occult physics, which thus seem to have anticipated the discovery of the “Conservation of matter” by a considerable time. Says the ancient Commentary† to Stanza IV. :—
“The Mother is the fiery Fish of Life. She scatters her spawn and the Breath (Motion) heats and quickens it. The grains (of spawn) are soon attracted to each other and form the curds in the Ocean (of Space). The larger lumps coalesce and receive new spawn—in fiery dots, triangles and cubes, which ripen, and at the appointed time some of the lumps detach themselves and assume spheroidal form, a process which they effect only when not interfered with by the others. After which, law No. * * * comes into operation. Motion (the Breath) becomes the whirlwind and sets them into rotation.”‡

by Chris Carter, March 26, 2012
Recently, journalist Steven Volk was surprised to discover that leading skeptical psychologist Richard Wiseman has admitted that the evidence for telepathy is so good that “by the standards of any other area of science, [telepathy] is proven.” Mr. Volk goes on to write, “Even more incredibly, as I report in Fringe-ology, another leading skeptic, Chris French, agrees with him.”
Mr. Volk might even be more surprised to learn that back in 1951 psychologist Donald Hebb wrote this:
“Why do we not accept ESP [extrasensory perception] as a psychological fact? [The Rhine Research Center] has offered enough evidence to have convinced us on almost any other issue … Personally, I do not accept ESP for a moment, because it does not make sense. My external criteria, both of physics and of physiology, say that ESP is not a fact despite the behavioral evidence that has been reported. I cannot see what other basis my colleagues have for rejecting it … Rhine may still turn out to be right, improbable as I think that is, and my own rejection of his view is—in the literal sense—prejudice.”
Four years later, George Price, then a research associate at the Department of Medicine at the University of Minnesota, published an article in the prestigious journal Science that began:
“Believers in psychic phenomena … appear to have won a decisive victory and virtually silenced opposition. … This victory is the result of careful experimentation and intelligent argumentation. Dozens of experimenters have obtained positive results in ESP experiments, and the mathematical procedures have been approved by leading statisticians. … Against all this evidence, almost the only defense remaining to the skeptical scientist is ignorance.”
But Price then argued, “ESP is incompatible with current scientific theory,” and asked:
“If, then, parapsychology and modern science are incompatible, why not reject parapsychology? … The choice is between believing in something ‘truly revolutionary’ and ‘radically contradictory to contemporary thought’ and believing in the occurrence of fraud and self-delusion. Which is more reasonable?”
So, here we have two skeptics in effect admitting that if this were any other field of inquiry then the experimental data would have carried the day by 1950.
Like Price and Hebb before them, both Wiseman and French hold that the claim of telepathy is so extraordinary that we need a greater level of evidence than we normally demand. Why should this be so? Most people believe in the reality of telepathy based on their own experiences, and are puzzled by the description of telepathy as “extraordinary.”
It is even more puzzling when surveys show that a large proportion of scientists accept the possibility that telepathy exists. Two surveys of over 500 scientists in one case and over 1,000 in another both found that the majority of respondents considered ESP “an established fact” or “a likely possibility”—56 percent in one and 67 percent in the other.
Polls such as this suggest that most scientists are curious and open-minded about psi. This, however, does not seem to be the case in one field: psychology. In the former study, only 3 percent of natural scientists considered ESP “an impossibility,” compared to 34 percent of psychologists.
In fact, the most prominent skeptics of psychic abilities today—such as Wiseman, French, James Alcock, Susan Blackmore, and Ray Hyman—are psychologists. An exception is biologist Richard Dawkins, but like Wiseman and French, he is also on record as saying that the existence of telepathy would “turn the laws of physics upside down.”
Failure to Jibe With Other Areas of Science?
Psychologist James Alcock recently wrote that the claims of parapsychology “stand in defiance of the modern scientific worldview. That by itself does not mean that parapsychology is in error, but as the eminent neuropsychologist Donald Hebb pointed out, if the claims of parapsychology prove to be true, then physics and biology and neuroscience are horribly wrong in some fundamental respects.”
But neither Alcock, Hebb, Wiseman, nor French ever bother to explain how the claims of parapsychology “stand in defiance” of science, or how “physics and physiology say that ESP is not a fact.”
Indeed, it is rare for a skeptic to ever back up this claim with specific examples. As I show in my new book “Science and Psychic Phenomena,” on those rare occasions that they do, they invariably invoke the principles of classical physics, which have been known to be fundamentally incorrect for more than three-quarters of a century.
Continued on the next page: Leading physicists have pointed out that what’s known of quantum mechanics doesn’t disqualify psi phenomena …
However, a number of leading physicists such as Henry Margenau, David Bohm, Brian Josephson, and Olivier Costa de Beauregard have repeatedly pointed out that nothing in quantum mechanics forbids psi phenomena. Costa de Beauregard even maintains that the theory of quantum physics virtually demands that psi phenomena exist. And physicist Evan Harris Walker has developed a theoretical model of psi based on von Neumann’s formulation of quantum mechanics.
Ray Hyman’s 1996 argument (in the Skeptical Inquirer) that the acceptance of psi would require that we “abandon relativity and quantum mechanics in their current formulations” is thereby shown to be nonsense. Contrast Hyman’s statement with that of theoretical physicist Costa de Beauregard, who has written “relativistic quantum mechanics is a conceptual scheme where phenomena such as psychokinesis or telepathy, far from being irrational, should, on the contrary, be expected as very rational.”
As mentioned earlier, adherence to an outmoded metaphysics of science seems much more prevalent among psychologists than physicists. Skeptics such as psychologist Susan Blackmore are fond of saying that the existence of psi is incompatible “with our scientific worldview”—but with which scientific worldview?
Psi is certainly incompatible with the old scientific worldview, based on Newtonian mechanics and behaviorist psychology. It is not incompatible with the emerging scientific worldview based on quantum mechanics, the neurosciences, and cognitive psychology.
But even before quantum mechanics began to supersede classical mechanics in the 1920s, many physicists were much more open to investigating psi phenomena than most psychologists seem today. An astonishing number of the most prominent physicists of the 19th century expressed interest in psychic research, including William Crookes, inventor of the cathode ray tube, used today in televisions and computer monitors; J.J. Thomson, who won the Nobel Prize in 1906 for the discovery of the electron; and Lord Rayleigh, considered one of the greatest physicists of the late 19th century, and winner of the Nobel Prize in physics in 1904.
Of course, for their efforts in investigating these and other unusual phenomena, these men were often criticized and ridiculed mercilessly by their colleagues.
But modern physics is very different from the classical physics of the 19th century, and it is time the skeptical psychologists realized this. The great psychologist Gardner Murphy, president of the American Psychological Association and later of the American Society for Psychical Research, urged his fellow psychologists to become better acquainted with modern physics.
Murphy wrote in 1968: “… the difficulty is at the level of physics, not at the level of psychology. Psychologists may be a little bewildered when they encounter modern physicists who take these phenomena in stride, in fact, take them much more seriously than psychologists do, saying, as physicists, that they are no longer bound by the types of Newtonian energy distribution, inverse square laws, etc., with which scientists used to regard themselves as tightly bound.… psychologists probably will witness a period of slow, but definite, erosion of the blandly exclusive attitude that has offered itself as the only appropriate scientific attitude in this field. The data from parapsychology will be almost certainly in harmony with general psychological principles and will be assimilated rather easily within the systematic framework of psychology as a science when once the imagined appropriateness of Newtonian physics is put aside, and modern physics replaces it.”

The Surprising Power Of A Solar Storm
March 23, 2012
www.redorbit.com
Solar storm dumps gigawatts into Earth’s upper atmosphere
A recent flurry of eruptions on the sun did more than spark pretty auroras around the poles. NASA-funded researchers say the solar storms of March 8th through 10th dumped enough energy in Earth’s upper atmosphere to power every residence in New York City for two years.
“This was the biggest dose of heat we’ve received from a solar storm since 2005,” says Martin Mlynczak of NASA Langley Research Center. “It was a big event, and shows how solar activity can directly affect our planet.”
Mlynczak is the associate principal investigator for the SABER instrument onboard NASA’s TIMED satellite. SABER monitors infrared emissions from Earth’s upper atmosphere, in particular from carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitric oxide (NO), two substances that play a key role in the energy balance of air hundreds of km above our planet’s surface.
“Carbon dioxide and nitric oxide are natural thermostats,” explains James Russell of Hampton University, SABER’s principal investigator. “When the upper atmosphere (or ‘thermosphere’) heats up, these molecules try as hard as they can to shed that heat back into space.”
That’s what happened on March 8th when a coronal mass ejection (CME) propelled in our direction by an X5-class solar flare hit Earth’s magnetic field. (On the “Richter Scale of Solar Flares,” X-class flares are the most powerful kind.) Energetic particles rained down on the upper atmosphere, depositing their energy where they hit. The action produced spectacular auroras around the poles and significant1 upper atmospheric heating all around the globe.
“The thermosphere lit up like a Christmas tree,” says Russell. “It began to glow intensely at infrared wavelengths as the thermostat effect kicked in.”
For the three day period, March 8th through 10th, the thermosphere absorbed 26 billion kWh of energy. Infrared radiation from CO2 and NO, the two most efficient coolants in the thermosphere, re-radiated 95% of that total back into space.
In human terms, this is a lot of energy. According to the New York City mayor’s office, an average NY household consumes just under 4700 kWh annually. This means the geomagnetic storm dumped enough energy into the atmosphere to power every home in the Big Apple for two years.
“Unfortunately, there’s no practical way to harness this kind of energy,” says Mlynczak. “It’s so diffuse and out of reach high above Earth’s surface. Plus, the majority of it has been sent back into space by the action of CO2 and NO.”
During the heating impulse, the thermosphere puffed up like a marshmallow held over a campfire, temporarily increasing the drag on low-orbiting satellites. This is both good and bad. On the one hand, extra drag helps clear space junk out of Earth orbit. On the other hand, it decreases the lifetime of useful satellites by bringing them closer to the day of re-entry.
The storm is over now, but Russell and Mlynczak expect more to come.
“We’re just emerging from a deep solar minimum,” says Russell. “The solar cycle is gaining strength with a maximum expected in 2013.”
More sunspots flinging more CMEs toward Earth adds up to more opportunities for SABER to study the heating effect of solar storms.
“This is a new frontier in the sun-Earth connection,” says Mlynczak, and the data we’re collecting are unprecedented.”
Stay tuned to Science@NASA for updates from the top of the atmosphere.
Footnote: (1) No one on Earth’s surface would have felt this impulse of heat. Mlynczak puts it into perspective: “Heat radiated by the solid body of the Earth is very large compared to the amount of heat being exchanged in the upper atmosphere. The daily average infrared radiation from the entire planet is 240 W/m2—enough to power NYC for 200,000 years.”

Blood, Milk And Mucus Are The Future Of Computer Engineering
March 8, 2012
Source: redOrbit (http://s.tt/16MQ8)
Researchers have successfully taking a first step towards building biodegradable display screens for electronic devices.
Tel Aviv University researchers have created protein-based transistors from organic materials found in the human body.
They used blood, milk and mucus proteins to help take the first step in making silicon an outdated formula to build semi-conductors.
The TAU researchers said when they applied the organic materials to any base material, the molecules self-assembled to create a semi-conducting film on a nano-scale.
The three different kinds of proteins can create a complete circuit with electronic and optical capabilities.
Ph.D. student Elad Mentovich said the blood protein has the ability to absorb oxygen, which permits the “doping” of semi-conductors with specific chemicals in order to create specific technological properties.
The milk proteins form the fibers which are the building blocks of the transistors, while the muscosal proteins keep red, green, and blue fluorescent dyes separate, creating the white light emission that is necessary for optics.
The natural abilities of each protein allowed the researchers to have “unique control” over the organic transistor, allowing adjustments for conductivity, memory storage, and fluorescence.
Mentovich said technology is shifting from a silicon era to a carbon era, and this new type of transistor could help play an important role.
Transistors built from these proteins could be ideal for devices that need to be flexible, whether it be screens, cell phones or tablets.
Because the researchers are using natural proteins to build their transistors, the products they create will be biodegradable.
Their research, which has appeared in the journals Nano Letters and Advanced Materials, recently received a silver award at the Materials Research Society Graduate Student Awards in Boston, MA.

This is a call to Fortuna Goddess of Supply that i absolutely love.
Beginning invocation is suggested but not necessary as i just wanted to share the beauty of this call
I'm going to suggest you summon forth all the prosperity spirits you are aware of for this(ex. Abundancia, Neptune, AA Raphael, Ganesh)
This prosperity spirit exists in every tradition under different names. So find it and call Fortuna and say
Fortuna Goddess of Supply,
Of all God's wealth from realms on high,
Release the treasures from the Sun
And now bestow on everyone
Whose heart beats one with God's own Light
The Power to draw from heaven's height,
Abundance to expand the plan
The Masters hold for every man
Attune our consciousness with thee,
Expand our vision now to see
That opulence is meant for all
Who look to God and make the call
We now demand, we do command
Abundant manna from God's hand,
That now below is as above
All mankind shall express God's Love
Say nine time's and while saying visualize hands full of money. Hundreds in the palm of your hand,
Big Face Hundeds! lol (rap song)
Ok jokes aside
See what ever means you are trying to achieve in the minds eye
And visualize Gold and deep green in the aura for a healing of prosperity
It's that simple, the devotion and belief in yourself to use this is the hard part.
Personally, i started finding money on the ground and back when i use to give readings i would get lots of clients this way.
But not everybody's a psychic that walks around a lot.
So figure out what makes your heart sing that you wish you had more of and make that call to Fortuna!
Enjoy!

Major 7.6 earthquake on Mexico Pacific coast: USGS
Reuters – 15 mins ago
Article: Mexico president says no serious damage from quake
7 mins ago
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - A major 7.6 magnitude earthquake struck 120 miles east of Acapulco on Mexico's Pacific coast, the U.S. Geological Survey said on Tuesday.
The USGS located the epicenter of the quake at 15 miles east of Ometepec in Guerrero state at a depth of 10.9 miles.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said the inland earthquake would not generate a destructive widespread tsunami, but there was the possibility of some local tsunami effects.
The quake was felt in Mexico City where buildings shook and office employees fled into the street, according to a Reuters witnesses. Cell phone lines were down and traffic snarled in the capital moments after the quake.
No damage was reported in Oaxaca, near where the quake hit, according to local television.
Earlier it had been reported at 7.9 magnitude and initially as 7.6 magnitude.

You've probably seen what a solar storm looks like, but what does this activity sound like?
Now a new soundtrack created by composer Robert Alexander from University of Michigan in Ann Arbor translates readings from a recent storm on 7 March into audio.
To create the track, Alexander used raw data from instruments on two NASA spacecraft, the Messenger satellite near Mercury and the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) about a million miles from Earth.
Measurements from the Fast Imaging Plasma Spectrometer (FIPS), for example, were mapped onto an audio waveform, the amplitude of the sound corresponding to the number of particles hitting the detector and its frequency relating to how fast the events occur. Using a standard audio sampling rate, the information was condensed into just a fraction of a second's worth of sound. The playback speed was then extended using algorithms.
Transforming data into audio could be useful for zipping through a large amount of information. Alexander is now working with a team from the Solar Heliospheric Research Group at the University of Michigan to look for patterns that wouldn't normally be visible from graphs. "When I began listening to plasma speed data, I uncovered several periodic features relatively quickly," he says. "After doing some research I was able to attribute them to well-documented events."

It is not every day that a piece of science fiction takes a step closer to nuts-and-bolts reality. But that is what seems to be happening to wormholes.
Enter one of these tunnels through space-time, and a few short steps later you may emerge near Pluto or even in the Andromeda galaxy millions of light years away.
You probably won't be surprised to learn that no one has yet come close to constructing such a wormhole. One reason is that they are notoriously unstable. Even on paper, they have a tendency to snap shut in the blink of an eye unless they are propped open by an exotic form of matter with negative energy, whose existence is itself in doubt.
Now, all that has changed. A team of physicists from Germany and Greece has shown that building wormholes may be possible without any input from negative energy at all. "You don't even need normal matter with positive energy," says Burkhard Kleihaus of the University of Oldenburg in Germany. "Wormholes can be propped open with nothing."
The findings raise the tantalising possibility that we might finally be able to detect a wormhole in space. Civilisations far more advanced than ours may already be shuttling back and forth through a galactic-wide subway system constructed from wormholes. And eventually we might even be able to use them ourselves as portals to other universes.
Wormholes first emerged in Einstein's general theory of relativity, which famously shows that gravity is nothing more than the hidden warping of space-time by energy, usually the mass-energy of stars and galaxies. Soon after Einstein published his equations in 1916, Austrian physicist Ludwig Flamm discovered that they also predicted conduits through space and time.
But it was Einstein himself who made detailed investigations of wormholes with Nathan Rosen. In 1935, they concocted one consisting of two black holes, connected by a tunnel through space-time. Travelling through their wormhole was only possible if the black holes at either end were of a special kind. A conventional black hole has such a powerful gravitational field that material sucked in can never escape once it has crossed what is called the event horizon. The black holes at the end of an Einstein-Rosen wormhole would be unencumbered by such points of no return.
Einstein and Rosen's wormholes seemed a mere curiosity for another reason: their destination was inconceivable. The only connection the wormholes offered from our universe was to a region of space in a parallel universe, perhaps with its own stars, galaxies and planets. While today's theorists are comfortable with the idea of our universe being just one of many, in Einstein and Rosen's day such a multiverse was unthinkable.
Fortunately, it turned out that general relativity permitted the existence of another type of wormhole. In 1955, American physicist John Wheeler showed that it was possible to connect two regions of space in our universe, which would be far more useful for fast intergalactic travel. He coined the catchy name wormhole to add to black holes, which he can also take credit for.
The trouble is the wormholes of Wheeler and Einstein and Rosen all have the same flaw. They are unstable. Send even a single photon of light zooming through and it instantly triggers the formation of an event horizon, which effectively snaps shut the wormhole.
Bizarrely, it is the American planetary astronomer Carl Sagan who is credited with moving the field on. In his science fiction novel, Contact, he needed a quick and scientifically sound method of galactic transport for his heroine - played by Jodie Foster in the movie. Sagan asked theorist Kip Thorne at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena for help, and Thorne realised a wormhole would do the trick. In 1987, he and his graduate students Michael Morris and Uri Yertsever worked out the recipe to create a traversable wormhole. It turned out that the mouths could be kept open by hypothetical material possessing a negative energy. Given enough negative energy, such a material has a repulsive form of gravity, which physically pushes open the wormhole mouth.
Negative energy is not such a ridiculous idea. Imagine two parallel metal plates sitting in a vacuum. If you place them close together the vacuum between them has negative energy - that is, less energy than the vacuum outside. This is because a normal vacuum is like a roiling sea of waves, and the waves that are too big to fit between the plates are naturally excluded. This leaves less energy inside the plates than outside.
Unfortunately, this kind of negative energy exists in quantities far too feeble to prop open a wormhole mouth. Not only that but a Thorne-Morris-Yertsever wormhole that is big enough for someone to crawl through requires a tremendous amount of energy - equivalent to the energy pumped out in a year by an appreciable fraction of the stars in the galaxy.
Back to the drawing board then? Not quite. There may be a way to bypass those difficulties. All the wormholes envisioned until recently assume that Einstein's theory of gravity is correct. In fact, this is unlikely to be the case. For a start, the theory breaks down at the heart of a black hole, as well as at the beginning of time in the big bang. Also, quantum theory, which describes the microscopic world of atoms, is incompatible with general relativity. Since quantum theory is supremely successful - explaining everything from why the ground is solid to how the sun shines - many researchers believe that Einstein's theory of gravity must be an approximation of a deeper theory.
A world beyond Einstein
A hint of what a deeper theory would look like came in 1921. Theodor Kaluza and Oskar Klein were inspired by Einstein's success in showing that gravity is the curvature of a four-dimensional sheet made by melding together the three dimensions of space with time. They went on to show that both gravity and the electromagnetic force could be explained by the curvature of a five-dimensional space-time. More recently, string theorists claim that all four fundamental forces might be explained by warping 10-dimensional space-time.
Crucially, when space-time has more than four dimensions, the powerful theorems which forbid a wormhole unless it is propped open by negative energy may not apply. In 2002, Kirill Bronnikov at the Centre of Gravitation and Fundamental Metrology in Moscow, Russia, and Sung-Won Kim at Ewha Womans University in Seoul, South Korea, raised the possibility of a wormhole existing without exotic matter. They uncovered a wealth of wormhole solutions in one of the popular versions of brane-world gravity, which describes our world as a 4D island or "brane" floating in higher dimensions. "No phantom matter is required, and the wormholes can have an arbitrary size," says Bronnikov.
Such higher-dimensional theories of gravity such as string theory are notoriously difficult to work with, however. Enter Kleihaus and his colleagues Jutta Kunz, also at the University of Oldenburg, and Panagiota Kanti of the University of Ioannina in Greece. They have recently been exploring hypothetical but plausible extensions of Einstein's theory of gravity that are easier to handle. The simplest of these theoretical frameworks goes by the unwieldy name of dilatonic Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet theory, or the much snappier DEGB theory.
If the extra dimensions of higher dimensional theories are rolled up very small, or "compactified", that would explain why we do not experience them directly. The process of compactifying the extra six dimensions of string theory creates several new force fields, such as the so-called dilaton field. In the same way that general relativity describes gravity as the curvature of space, gravity in DEGB theory depends on the curvature plus the curvature raised to a higher power.
Using this extra term in the gravitational equations, Kleihaus and his colleagues have discovered a solution for a wormhole. It needs no stuff made of negative energy to prop it open, or, indeed, any matter at all (Physical Review Letters, vol 107, p 271101).
Other researchers welcome the findings, albeit with caution. "I think this is quite important and makes the idea of traversable wormholes more likely," says Aurélien Barrau of the Laboratory of Subatomic Physics and Cosmology in Grenoble, France. "Even if no exotic matter is required, this still relies on very speculative ideas."
Taken together with Bronnikov and Kim's work, it seems that wormholes are well and truly on the menu of astrophysical possibilities in any post-Einstein world. Excitingly, the wormholes Kleihaus's team envisage are of the type that connects two regions in separate universes. What seemed a mere exotic curiosity in Einstein's day is not the case now. The advent of string theory has led some theorists to speculate that our universe with its three dimensions of space is a 3-brane floating in a higher-dimensional space. But out there, there could be other universes that are 4-branes, 5-branes and so on. Suddenly a wormhole that connects different universes is an exciting prospect.
Could such wormholes exist out there in space? Quite possibly. Wheeler suggested that quantum fluctuations would transform the gently undulating fabric of space-time at close range into a seething mass of complex shapes, known as quantum foam. According to this picture, exceedingly small wormholes with different topologies would appear and disappear in a flash.
Yet there is a natural process that could already have magnified these wormholes, making them large enough to travel through today. Inflation, as we call it, is widely thought to have operated in the first split-second of the universe's existence, prompting it to balloon enormously and at breathtaking speed. "At the same time, it could have ballooned the tiny wormholes that make up the sub-microscopic fabric of space," says Kleihaus.
He and his colleagues have thoroughly investigated the properties of their wormhole inflated this way. For it to be traversable, the differences in gravity across a body travelling through the wormhole must be small enough to keep the body intact. The good news, says Kleihaus, is that the photons and subatomic particles can easily travel through. The bad news is that for a massive human being to travel through unscathed by gravity, the wormhole mouth needs to curve very gently and this means it must be tens to hundreds of light years across.
If this seems a bit excessive, consider the upside. According to Kleihaus, the scale of such wormholes presents us with a golden opportunity to spot them out in space. As a telescope scans across the star field and hits a wormhole it would see an abrupt change in the view. "The wormhole mouth, after all, is a window on another universe," says Kleihaus.
In general, though, even enormous wormholes will be difficult to spot. When hidden by dust and gas and stars, they look very similar to black holes. It is even possible that Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the centre of our Milky Way, could be a wormhole. One way to be sure, says Kleihaus, would be to study matter falling in.
Observations show that gas swirling around a black hole forms a disc of matter so hot it emits X-rays, and we expect the same at the mouths of wormholes. No one has yet built a telescope of sufficiently high resolution to image the very core of a black hole, though astronomers are constructing one capable of snapping Sagittarius A*. If Sagittarius A* is indeed a black hole, then we would expect the X-rays to cut off suddenly as the gas crosses the event horizon never to be seen again. On the other hand, if it is the entrance to a wormhole, then we would still see the X-rays because wormholes do not have event horizons.
Kleihaus and his colleagues are also hoping astronomers will help them to deduce what other signatures of wormholes might look like. One possibility is that, if a wormhole passes between a distant star and the Earth, its gravity will distort, or "gravitationally lens", the light of the distant star in a distinctive way.
While the wormhole solution found so far in DEGB theory connects our universe to another, it is still possible that other solutions exist that connect different parts of our universe. Kleihaus and his colleagues intend to investigate this possibility. Such a wormhole would open up the prospect of an extraterrestrial subway system.
Before you start saving for a season ticket, though, be warned that the Milky Way may not be a destination on the subway map. That's because our galaxy's stars are crowded together within a few light years of each other. While this doesn't prevent the existence of a wormhole with a mouth tens of light years across, it makes it hard to position it so that star systems don't accidentally fall in. Fallen stars would surely disrupt the timetable and so users might avoid our galaxy altogether.
There is no such problem, of course, in the emptiness between galaxies. Perhaps, at this very moment, there is an intergalactic subway system connecting the region just beyond the Milky Way to Andromeda, the Large Magellanic Cloud or the Whirlpool galaxy. It would sure beat taking the subway in your nearest town.

Here's why the scare story is public relations fraud
(NaturalNews) The case of the legendary "Blue Man" whose entire body turned blue after taking a liquid concoction that the mainstream media continues to refer to as "colloidal silver" is a fraud. Contrary to what you may have heard about the incident, 57-year-old Paul Karason from California had not been taking real colloidal silver at all when he turned blue, and the entire charade appears to have been nothing more than a shock-factor story to detract the public from exploring the truth about properly-prepared silver colloids and their incredible power to heal when taken appropriately.
Karason was all over the news in 2008 after having developed a condition known as argyria, which is a permanent blue-ing of the skin caused by the ingestion of too many silver salts and proteins. Karason had been making his own silver mixture at home using salts and extended-length electrolysis to generate a silver chloride solution with large silver particles. In short, this high-risk blend, which is far different from the majority of ionic silver and silver colloid solutions sold at stores, built up in his body and caused him to turn blue.
"The Blue Man story became a major media disinformation event which was produced by a public relations firm and paid for by a pharmaceutical interest," says Purest Colloids, one producer of true silver colloid solutions. "The purpose of this campaign was to scare the public away from using colloidal silver products."
This makes sense when considering that thousands, if not millions, of people take ionic silver or silver colloids solutions on a regular basis without incident, and none of them are blue. Argyria, after all, is a very rare condition that only seems to come about as a result of consuming improperly-made silver solutions that contain too many silver particles that are too large in size, and that were made using the addition of salt.
In Karason's case, he admittedly took far more of his silver solution, which was already problematic to begin with, than any normal person would ever take for a typical health condition. And this, of course, is another glaring fact that has typically been left out of most mainstream news reports about Karason and his condition. Karason's case, in fact, is one of the only verifiable cases of argyria in the U.S., which shows just how uncommon and unlikely it truly is.

Archaeologists have unearthed some ancient monumental structures in different places that manipulate sound for sensory and mind effects.
These ancient structures with particular designs have been found in Ireland, Malta, southern Turkey and Peru. Researchers believe they might have been specially designed to conduct and alter sound for producing certain sensory effects.
The underground temple Hal Saflieni Hypogeum on the island of Malta, for example, is a 6,000-year-old stone structure complex with manipulated sound design.
The monument includes central corridors and curved chambers with a complicated design, in which low voices within its walls create eerie, reverberating echoes, and a sound made or words spoken in certain places can be clearly heard throughout all of its three levels.
Scientists believe that certain sound vibration frequencies that are created when sound is emitted within the building’s walls alter human brain functions of people within earshot.
A study conducted in 1994 by a Princeton University consortium confirmed similar peculiar sound effects in ancient chambers of megalithic sites such as Newgrange in Ireland and Wayland's Smithy in England.
Experts suggest that peculiarity of sound effects varies with dimensions of the room and the quality of the stone.

Geir Haarde, Iceland's Ex-PM, The First World Leader To Face Criminal Charges Over Financial Crisis
By ANNA ANDERSEN 03/ 5/12 04:36 PM ET
REYKJAVIK, Iceland — A former prime minister of Iceland on Monday rejected charges he failed to adequately protect his country's economy from financial shocks, as he took the stand in the first criminal trial of a world leader to result from the 2008 financial crisis.
Geir Haarde said neither he nor financial regulators knew the real state of Icelandic banks' precarious finances until they collapsed in October 2008.
"I reject all accusations and believe there is no basis for them," Haarde said. He said it was the first chance he had to answer questions in the case.
Haarde became a symbol of the bubble economy for Icelanders who lost their jobs and homes after the country's main commercial banks collapsed in the course of one week in 2008, sending its currency into a nosedive and inflation soaring.
Prosecutors opened the case at the Landsdomur, a special court being convened for the first time in Iceland's history.
Part of their case hinges on a charge that Haarde failed to implement recommendations that a government committee had drawn up in 2006 to strengthen Iceland's economy.
Haarde told the court the committee's work could not have prevented Iceland's economic crash.
"Nobody predicted that there would be a financial collapse in Iceland" in 2008, he said, adding that the government did not fully understand how much debt the country's banks had on their books.
"The bankers did not realize that the situation was as dire as it was," Haarde said. "It was not until after the crash that everyone saw it coming."
Iceland's banking sector ballooned during a decade of boom, growing to nine times the tiny nation's annual gross domestic product, before collapsing under the weight of its debts.
Haarde told the court the banks' size would not have been a problem had it not been for two things: their fiscal recklessness and the global credit squeeze.
"We knew about the crisis, but not the banks' lack of accountability and their illegal activities, which not even the Financial Supervisory Authority seems to have realized," he said.
Haarde is accused of negligence for failing to prevent the financial implosion from which the small island country is still struggling to recover.
In the crisis' immediate aftermath – as unemployment and inflation skyrocketed – many sought to affix blame for the havoc across the 330,000-strong nation. A wave of public protests forced Haarde out of government in 2009.
Haarde has pleaded not guilty and sought to have all charges dismissed, calling the proceedings "preposterous."
He has insisted Icelanders' interests were his "guiding light," and he blamed the banks for the crisis, saying government officials and regulatory authorities tried their best to prevent the crisis and that his "conscience is clear."
The trial is expected to last until mid-March, with the court taking another four to six weeks to deliver its verdict.

right action....week zero: act one: have friends in Greece? check on them....
asymetric tools for planetary adjustment
Just spoke with an ex-pat brit now living in southern Greece. Things are not going well for anyone there. Local boat builders have had no income for over four months, and as may be expected, the tourism 'industry' is basically shut down; again, no income for months. Even worse are the expectations for the 'summer season'.
My friend notes the local tourist booking offices have signs offering a 'gas' discount on 'apartments with action (riot) views'. Gallows humor to be sure.
As it stands, there is no relief for the Greek people. They will be fighting for a long time and the outcome, while certain, will be particulary hard won.
If you can help the greek people, now is a really good time. Hard times in a hard winter getting harsher by the day. Given the nasty rotten evil bastards (aka central banksters) own every damn thing, you may wish to be really creative in assisting the greeks around officialdom.
My thinking is dojo to dojo. My friend says his 'mee-koos' dojo is already feeding 100 people a week. But the need is everywhere, so it should not be hard to find outlets for your generosity. There is this thing called 'facebook'...that can provide the contacts. Watch out for scammers, but mostly in my experience, humans are trust worthy critters.
Its a war out there, here, and everywhere. The entrenched elite and governments across the planet are scared shitless. The dirty rotten bastards can be expected to try anything and everything during these times of their maximum fear.
The greek people are at the bleeding edge of the learning curve in this war...they are spearheading the tactics that we will all be using shortly. Good people to have at your side in a fight.
Apparently, the entrenched elite want to fight. Thus they have chosen what they assumed was the weakest populace in the eurozone as their 'victim', after the manner of all bullies, and have set out to destroy the greek resistance with as much blood as they dare.
As...the enemy of my enemy (e.g. evil rotten banksters) is my cousin. Especially the greeks (good pie bakers)....
Now, every greek i know is honest, but private (like they invented 'stoic'). They wont tell you that they are in need, unless you ask.....
So, know any greeks? If so, ask how they are doing....

Anonymous Hacks Greek Ministry Website, Demands IMF Withdrawal, Threatens It Will Wipe Away All Citizen Debts
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/21/2012 18:31 -0500
Greece International Monetary Fund
If there is one war that Greece could not afford to join, that is with the global computer hacking collective known as Anonymous. Yet as of minutes ago, that is precisley what happened, after Anonymous, as part of what it now calls Operation Greece, took down the Greek Ministry of Justice (http://www.ministryofjustice.gr/). While the pretext for the hacking appears to have been an arrest of the wrong people, is seems to have angered Anonymous to the point where they have left an extended message of demands on the Greek website, warning that unless the IMF withdraws from the country and the government resigns, all debts of Greek citizens will be wiped clean.
Translated from the Greek:
Citizens of Greece
We are Anonymous.
We watch every day your government abolishes the constitution and institutions of the country.
We see them leading you closer and closer to poverty.
We see them pass laws that deprive you of any right to dignity.
We see them and deliver the country to the IMF and the bankers.
We know about the soup kitchens in schools,
for people who are left jobless and now wait in queues for a plate of food.
We know that your country voted ACTA in your effort to silence and other Greeks.
We know everything ...
The Republic in Greece has died.
He died while a government that has not been elected by the people.
And for this reason that the time for discussion came and went.
Not negotiating anything with any of those who murdered him.
Can you hunt as you like, you can even capture some of us,
When you attempt to silence us ...
But for every one that will capture 3 others will spring up. There are 5 or 10 or 100.
Now the Greeks are all Anonymous.
We are millions against you and the 300 in this war tear gas will not help you.
Occupying Government of Greece
These days are going to vote for a bill that will be the last nail in the coffin of the Greek.
A bill to return the country to a totalitarian rule.
To bring the country and its people in absolute poverty.
We will not allow another misery to the Greek people.
We demand your resignation immediately, and elections.
We demand not paid a cent to moneylenders 'friends' you.
We demand the immediate withdrawal of the IMF from Greece.
The Justice Department was only a small sample of what we're capable of doing
Even you have not seen the full wrath of Anonymous.
For each article of a bill that would shame the vote,
we will shut the system and deleting an Inland Revenue debts of Greek citizens
Debts which requires them to fascist pay.
Can the demonstrations of the Greeks to their encounter with incredible violence,
anexelekta hitting, but the internet is our field. And I love this war.
We are many and we will be brief.
Citizens of Greece, Anonymous is now fighting on your side ...
Government of Greece, let us wait ...

Intel Exclusive: Trillion Dollar Terror Exposed – Bush, Fed, Europe Banks in $15 Trillion Fraud, All Documented
Below is one of the strangest stories in financial history, one involving the US government lying about hundreds of thousands of tons of imaginary gold, illegal wire transfers and loans totalling $15 trillion.
The video, from the House of Lords, is amazing in itself. What it doesn’t express is where the money came from though Lord James of Blackheath proves conclusively that an effort was made to say it came from a gold reserve in Brunei that, in fact, never existed.
At surface, it appears we have stumbled upon the largest terrorist organization in the world and have found original documents tracing its funding to the Secretary of the Treasury and the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, two of the top financial officers in the US. A cursory review of terrorism statues in the US indicate that all transactions we will learn about are, in fact, to be assumed “terrorist money laundering” and that the only thing preventing the immediate arrest of hundreds of top financial officials is their political connections alone.
We will be able to offer an alternative, more insights, some hard intelligence and some very valuable background that we hope will offer insightful and realistic perspectives on this amazing story.
On February 16, 2012, Lord James of Blackheath, member of Britain’s House of Lords presented evidence of an illegal scheme begun, he has thus discovered, in 2009. His documents including originals signed by Alan Greenspan and Timothy Geithner, show the illegal “off the books” transfer by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York of $15 trillion to, initially, HSBC (Hong Kong Shanghai Banking Corporation) London and then to the Bank of Scotland.
The Bank of Scotland, under royal charter but restricted from involvement in any such transactions, simply “gave” the money to 20 European banks to use in a highly profitable scheme of co-trading “fresh cut” MTN’s (mid-term notes), generating trillions of dollars in profits over 3 years, none of which is shown on books, none has been taxed or has benefitted shareholders in those banks.
As Blackheath outlines, the “deception and cover” for this transfer is the imaginary seizure of 750,000 tons of gold by agents of an unspoken entity (confirmed by the highest official sources as the Bush family and CIA), the listed “source” of the money.
The government of Indonesia confirms this to be an utter fabrication and that the individual named had 700 tons of gold (about half of what Gaddafi was holding), not 750,000. It is noted that only 1,500 tons of gold have ever been traded in world history, as stated in the House of Lords.
The issues that are initially brought out, issues inconsistent with international convention and starting the reader on what is only the surface discovery of two decades of crimes involving dozens of governments are as follows:
* At no time has the Federal Reserve Bank of New York been authorized to hold the funds indicated
* However, documents held by Lord Blackheath prove, conclusively that they did hold such funds and transfer them in a manner as to obscure their origin by using HSBC and the Bank of Scotland. This process, seemingly involving Alan Greenspan, Timothy Geithner and others would appear to be “money laundering” until some other explanation were found. None has been offered.
* The “collateralization” of these funds, being 750,000 tons of gold, is proven to be fantasy. These funds then, in no way or manner, are related to Brunei. The presentation of this false transaction has been conclusively proven to be a “cover and deception” project such as an intelligence organization would use.
* The transfer of these funds, all done without any authorizations, governmental or otherwise, particularly without agreements, payment of interest to the United States and without knowledge and approval of congress makes every aspect of this criminal in nature, a violation of innumerable statues.
* The receipt and use of these funds by the 20 banks, two of which are Wall Street’s largest, and the use of these funds to generate profits while the funds themselves are held “off the books” and the profits hidden and laundered, themselves the earnings of funds received through criminal acts makes any and all involved part of a criminal enterprise.
WHERE DID THE MONEY COME FROM
There is no record of the Federal Reserve being authorized to “create” $15 trillion, equal to the entire national debt of the United States. There is, however, proof that funds that totalled, at one time, $27 trillion had been earned surreptitiously, disposed of as part of an intelligence operation against the Soviet Union and then later stolen with accusations made against George H. W. Bush as being the perpetrator.
I have spoken with two individuals, one President Reagan’s intelligence coordinator and the other Chief Legal Cousel for the Central Intelligence Agency regarding these funds. Both have indicated that former President Bush had asked that these funds, totalling $27 trillion, be transferred to his control, that threats were made by Bush and that many involved in this operation suffered, issues including murder, illegal arrest, torture and detention among them.
The individuals I am speaking of repreatedly met with President Bush over these funds, disputed his claim to them, and indicate that the majority of the funds are the property of the people of the United States.
These funds are the mysterious “Wanta” funds, monies earned through years of currency trading aimed at collapsing the Soviet Union, a plan originated by President Ronald Reagan, then White House Intelligence Coordinator Lee Wanta and CIA Director William Casey. I have been told that, while this operation went forward under President Reagan, he had ordered that his successor, George H. W. Bush not be “briefed” out of “mistrust” for Bush.
The funds themselves were earned through a scheme of trading Soviet roubles at enormous profit, a practice that eventually collapsed their government. A portion of the profits are subject to current litigation in the Federal Court of the Eastern District of Virginia, Judge Lee presiding. I have over 2,000 pages of documents on this case which shows a remainder of the original funds had been transferred to the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond by the Bank of China, a party to the rouble trading practice, in 2006 and is claimed as totally owned by Ameritrust Corporation. That amount was $4.5 trillion of which we hold the SWIFT transfer documents.
The other monies, which “likely” make up from the unspent portion of the missing $27 trillion, may well constitute all that is recoverable.
Wanta, sole shareholder in Ameritrust, has offered his companies share, valued by the court now at $7.2 trillion, entirely to the American people as intended by President Reagan.
The origin of the additional funds, issued by the Federal Reserve during the 80s and 90s, totalling nearly $8 trillion is unknown. High ranking sources within the US government indicate that this can only be either the remainder of funds Wanta raised or profits made from them after the majority of funds were stolen.
Stories, some quite good actually, and personal interviews plus my own review of documents would place the theft or conversion of these funds initially with:
* The Bush family
* The “P2,” a Masonic lodge operating out of Switzerland involved in dozens of terror bombings tied to “Operation Gladio”
* People around Wanta himself including the CIA
What is lacking is a source for half of these funds. Technically, they don’t exist as there is no record of them being originated by nor transferred to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York though there are clear and discernible records of them being transferred out of that institution which never possessed them, according to their 2010 audit, in the first place.
WANTA MONEY
The transfer of Wanta funds, they can be assumed to have no other origin as they track into the Federal Reserve banking system while in escrow and are currently awaiting payment based on the orders of President Obama in accordance with findings of the federal court, is complicated by the Scottish transfer.
Either Wanta has claim to the entire amount or it is the property of the US government. That no effort has been made to secure the funds or enforce criminal and civil remedies to recover enough money to pay the entire US national debt and more, as with earnings, we are nearing well over $30 trillion by this time, is an indication that a criminal conspiracy with enough influence to overrule our own government is involved. Whether that “conspiracy is, as noted, the Bush family, rouge sections of the CIA or a secret society such as P2, one we can prove or others we only suspect exist, is another story.
The lack of action, here or as requested by Lord James in Britain, is, in itself, proof of both the seriousness and actuality of these events and the powers that can prevent any inquiry when irrefutable documents such as SWIFT transfers are available. In fact, Lord James has offered a wealth of documents which, when combined with the 2000 pages of Wanta “discovery” from the Federal Court, constitutes more than prima facia evidence of money laundering, conversion, terrorism or worse.
Thus, the inaction in the face of overwheming and unquestioned proof is inexplicable.
FLOOD OF WANTA LITIGATION AND INDICTMENTS COMING
Currently, Wanta’s legal status is as technical conservator and owner of $7.2 trillion. However, as nearly half that is owed in taxes and the court settlement required Wanta to purchase $1 trillion in treasury bonds, the federal government should show positive interest other than President Obama and a few others. More are being obstructionist with the payout and exercise of $3 trillion in US debt reduction.
This is, not only illegal but an indication of conspiracy.
In addition, Russian Prime Minister Putin has communicated that he awaits the agreed upon 3% payment of Russian taxes, initially on the $7.2 trillion. Will Putin want to be paid on the entire $15 trillion plus interest and will Russia and/or the US have interest in why the Bank of Scotland transferred these funds to 20 European banks to trade in MTN’s (mid term notes) without any authorization or agreement, any participation or sharing of profits.
As the funds, at least the half which the US government can claim ownership of, combined with the interest and earnings of, would quickly put the US “in the black,” again we look at, not just the press blackout on the Wanta litigation of the last 6 years but the press blackout on Lord James of Blackheath and the wealth of damning documentation he submitted to Parliament.
Nothing has been done since, it is as though the proof submitted was so dangerous that those moments in time have been erased by a mysterious g-dlike power.
What makes Wanta dangerous is that he has begun to distribute funds, some to government entities, counties and states, law enforcement agencies, giving them standing, not just in recovering funds intended for their use but in helping prosecute anyone involved in interfering with or attempting to divert funds.
One grand jury is being formed to investigate diversion of Wanta funds even at this early date. It is likely that Wanta/Ameritrust funds earmarked for border protection could lead to the indictment of high ranking US officials. This is only the beginning.
If the Royal Bank of Scotland doesn’t think it should be expecting the biggest chargeback in the history of the world, they are in for a shock.

Former UK Serviceman John Urwin, 74, Recalls Military Experiences that Echo Bill Wood (aka Brockbrader)…
Thanks to Gary
Back in 1957, John Urwin was recruited to be part of an elite British military force, The 16. He wrote a book about his experiences, called Beyond The Sixteen, in which, among other things, he talked of a special group, assigned to fight the Illuminati. He has also done a few interviews over the years that people may have seen or heard.
John is now 74 and this video is a mostly unedited 2012 interview with him as he has “new” recall of certain aspects of his secret past. This includes: his recruitment to The 16; his life in secret military action; a fellow co-worker called “Ken”, who he now believes was “non-human” (look for this around 14:30), UFOs, implants, remote viewing, the pineal gland and more.
There are echoes of the sort of stuff Bill Wood (aka Brockbrader) has been talking about more recently – although, possibly, not quite as succinctly told.

A tremendous tornado whirling across the surface of the sun was captured by a NASA satellite recently -- an amazing wonder of the solar system that may be as big as the Earth itself.
The video was recorded by the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), a sun-watching satellite that has transmitted a series of stunning photos of solar flares in recent months. The new video shows darker, cooler plasma shifting back and forth above the sun's surface over the span of nearly 30 hours stretching from Feb. 7 to Feb. 8.
And the giant tornado may be as large as the Earth itself, with gusts of up to 300,000 mph, explained Terry Kucera, deputy SOHO project scientist and a solar physicist with NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center.
“It’s about 15,000 degrees Fahrenheit -- relatively cool,” Kucera told FoxNews.com. After all, the sun’s corona is a whopping 2 million degrees, she explained.
Such tornadoes (Kucera classed it a “solar prominence”) have been known of for decades; the European Space Agency's SOHO spacecraft captured evidence of them as early as 1996, mainly near the Sun's north and south poles at the time. And though they resemble their cousins here on Earth, they’re created entirely differently, Kucera said -- through magnetism, not pressure and temperature fluctuations.
“Those motions you see, it’s all just moving along the magnetic field somehow -- but we’re still looking to understand what’s happening with these things,” Kucera said.
The storm was created by competing magnetic forces, which pull the charged magnetic particles on the sun back and forth, creating a spinning mass of plasma that tracks along strands of magnetic field lines, NASA explained.
The spinning top of the tornado is mesmerizing, but Kucera noted the span of the prominence as well. The long, ribbon shapes could span hundreds of thousands of miles, she said.
“In total length, this could be dozens of Earths -- quite large,” she said.
Such detailed, high-resolution recordings of the immense tornadoes was not possible until the launch of SDO. The satellite has several cameras on board that capture solar activity in different wavelengths and frequencies, all in the name of science.
“Each wavelength of light tells us something different,” she said.

WE NEED TO HAVE AN ANSWER TO 2 MAJOR QUESTION'S BY THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH & they are
#1- Does the Roman Catholic Church support the illuminati & there AGENDA? Yes or NO?
#2-Does the Roman Catholic Church support The New World Order? Yes or No?
If they do or do not, the lower member's of the Church MUST be informed so as to not carry out an Agenda they otherwise would of been ignorant & or unmindful of!!!

Among all of the apocryphal tales of disgusting items found in fast food, some of the truths (crushed beetles?) may be more disturbing than the myths.
Would you like a cow eyeball with your burger?
One of the more-enduring urban legends about McDonald’s is that their hamburgers contain cow eyeballs. While this has not proven to be the case, their Baked Hot Apple Pie does contain duck feathers, or at least an ingredient commonly derived from such. Truth can be just as strange as fiction.
How have duck feathers become a viable ingredient in apple pie? Welcome to the world of food additives. People have been adding flavors, spices, natural preservatives and ripening agents to food since antiquity. But as the popularity of highly processed food has risen dramatically since the 1950s, so has the astounding array of bizarre chemical additives used in food manufacturing. Fast-food recipes seem to be born more from the laboratory than from farm or field.
And although the powers that be deem these food-additive chemicals safe, the science fiction of it all is a bit unsettling. How do we come up with these things? Here are some of the wackiest of the bunch.
1. Duck feathers and human hair (l-cysteine)
You thought duck feathers sounded bad? How about human hair? These are the two most-common sources for l-cysteine, an amino acid used to condition dough for increased pliability, which facilitates better machine processing. CNN reported that most human-derived l-cysteine comes from Chinese women who help support their families by selling their locks to small chemical-processing plants.
Although originally the primary source for l-cysteine was human hair, many manufacturers seem to have moved away from hair-derived l-cysteine and on to the more-palatable duck feathers. According to Jeanne Yacoubou, MS, research editor for The Vegetarian Resource Group, 80 percent of l-cysteine is now derived from feathers. During her research, McDonald’s told Yacoubou that the l-cysteine used in its Baked Hot Apple Pie, as well as its Wheat Roll and Warm Cinnamon Roll, was of the duck-feather variety. Many other fast-food joints rely on l-cysteine in bakery products as well.
And not to be sensationalist here, the resultant additive is far-removed from its original source — but still. It may be disturbing to many, and importantly, may fly in the face of ethical or religious dietary restrictions.
2. Sand (silicon dioxide)
Avoiding sand in your sandwich at the beach is obvious, avoiding sand in your restaurant-purchased meal may not be so apparent.
Silicon dioxide, also known as silica (also known as sand!), is used to make glass, optical fibers, ceramics, and cement. Oh, and chili. Used as an anti-caking agent, it is often added to processed beef and chicken to prevent clumping, and is listed in the ingredient panels for chili from both Wendy’s and Taco Bell. Most experts suggest that it isn’t harmful for consumption, but just know that the ingredient keeping that chili meat nice and non-caking is the also the primary component of diatomceous earth, commonly used as a pesticide.
3. Wood (cellulose)
Processed wood pulp, known as cellulose, is used in everything from cheese to salad dressing, from muffins to strawberry syrup. Food processors use it to thicken and stabilize foods, replace fat and boost fiber content — as well as to minimize reliance on more costly ingredients like oil or flour. Powdered cellulose is produced by cooking virgin wood pulp in chemicals to separate the cellulose, and then purified. Modified versions require extra processing, such as exposure to acid in order to further break down the fiber.
Ironically, with the increase in nutritional awareness has come an increase in the use of cellulose — with the addition of wood pulp, products can boast of less fat and more fiber. Just don’t mind the wood.
McDonalds, Taco Bell, KFC, Sonic, Pizza Hut, Wendy’s, Arby’s, Jack in the Box, and many others include cellulose in their repertoire.
4. Silly Putty plastic (dimethylpolysiloxane)
Eight-syllable ingredients make sense for Silly Putty, but French fries? Sure enough, dimethylpolysiloxane, a form of silicone used in cosmetics and Silly Putty, is also found in many a fast-food fried thing. It is the secret ingredient that keeps fryer oil from foaming. McDonald’s Filet-O-Fish and French fries have it, as do Wendy’s Natural-Cut Fries With Sea Salt. In fact, most fast-food items that bathe in a deep-fat fryer are imbued with a hint of dimethylpolysiloxane. Should you be concerned? The World Health Organization found no adverse health effects associated with dimethylpolysiloxane, but come on — what’s wrong with using potatoes, oil, and salt for fries?
5. Petroleum-derived preservatives (TBHQ)
Tertiary butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) is made from compounds derived from petroleum and finds a home in cosmetic and skincare products, varnish, lacquers and resins — and processed food. McDonald’s, for example, uses it in 18 products ranging from their Fruit and Walnut Salad to Griddle Cakes to McNuggets.
TBHQ was finally approved after many years of pressure from food manufacturers, though with approval, the FDA mandated that the chemical must not exceed 0.02 percent of a food’s oil and fat content. Why would there be a limit? Because five grams would be lethal, while one gram can cause nausea, vomiting, delirium, a sense of suffocation and collapse. (Although you would have to eat more than 11 pounds of McNuggets to reach that level. And if you're willing to eat 11 pounds of McNuggets in one sitting, well...)
6. Soil fertilizer (ammonium sulfate)
Ammonium sulfate is sold by chemical companies to food manufacturers as “yeast food for bread,” and many fast-food companies list the ingredient in their bakery products.
But that’s just its night job; when ammonium sulfate is not moonlighting as a food additive, it performs its main task: as a fertilizer for alkaline soils. Ammonium sulfate also does duty as an agricultural spray adjuvant for water soluble insecticides, herbicides and fungicides.
7. Beetle juices (carminic acid, confectioner's glaze)
Food dyes approved by the FDA include colors synthesized from petroleum derivatives and coal tar, but with all of the negative attention paid to artificial food color, natural dyes are on the rise. Yet some food dyes based on natural ingredients come from things that you may not care to ingest. Meet carminic acid, a commonly used red food coloring that comes from the dried, crushed bodies of female scale insects called cochineal. Variously known as Cochineal, Cochineal Extract, Carmine, Crimson Lake, Natural Red 4, C.I. 75470, E120 — it is used in a wide variety of products ranging from some meat, sausages, processed poultry products, marinades, bakery products, toppings, cookies, desserts, icings, pie fillings, jams, preserves, gelatins, juices, drinks, dairy products, sauces and dessert products.
From the same family of the cochineal comes the Lac beetle, which is the source of shellac — as in wood-primer-and-varnish shellac. The female beetle secretes a resin that is scraped from trees in Southeast Asia and Mexico. The resin is collected and processed into a shiny coating to be donned by a variety of foods, including candy, vitamins, pills, tablets, capsules, chocolate and waxed fresh fruit. You won’t find beetle excretions on the ingredients list, however, look for its aliases: Confectioner's Glaze, Resinous Glaze, Shellac, Pharmaceutical Glaze, Pure Food Glaze, Natural Glaze, or Lac-Resin.
8. Meat paste-goop (mechanically separated meat)
Mechanically separated meat (MSM) has been produced since the 1960s, but has been enjoying new fame lately courtesy of a photo making the rounds which shows an industrial machine extruding a plump ribbon of pink paste into a box. It is commonly referred to as “pink slime.” Looking more like frosting than pureed meat and bone bits, the FDA defines mechanically separated poultry (MSP) as “a paste-like and batter-like poultry product produced by forcing bones, with attached edible tissue, through a sieve or similar device under high pressure to separate bone from the edible tissue.” Mechanically separated pork is used too, although in 2004 to protect consumers against Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy, mechanically separated beef was considered inedible and prohibited for use as human food.
After the meat slurry has been produced, it is sometimes treated with ammonium hydroxide to remove excess bacteria. Ammonium hydroxide is also used as a household cleaner and in fertilizers. Since the resultant meat-bone-muscle-tendon-ammonium-hydroxide goop doesn’t taste much like meat, artificial flavors are added to finish the whole thing off.
Mechanically separated meat is to blame for a number of processed meat products; think hot dogs, salami, bologna, burgers and many a chicken nugget. Fast-food restaurants are known for employing pink slime, although recently McDonald’s made clear that it no longer relies upon it in its burgers.
Generally recognized as safe (GRAS)
These four little words seem to have become the FDA mantra when it comes to food additives; all of the above ingredients, and an expansive array of other chemical additives, have been generally recognized as safe in scientific studies. Taken out of context and looked at individually, maybe a little ammonium sulfate here and a petroleum product there aren’t going to cause quantitative damage to lab animals. But if you were to add up all of the chemical ingredients consumed during a life of a fast-food fueled western diet, what would that look like? Would it look like an epidemic of obesity, diabetes or cancer?
Michael Pollan's advice, "Don't eat anything your grandmother wouldn't recognize as food" never seemed so appealing.

As solar activity builds toward an expected peak in 2013, a double-barreled sunspot has been doubling in size over the past couple of days and now has the potential to shoot significant eruptions in our direction.
It's not certain that active region 1416 will erupt with coronal mass ejections as violent as the blasts that were thrown off by the sun late last month.
But it has developed a mixed "beta-gamma" magnetic field that packs enough energy to throw off medium-scale solar flares, SpaceWeather.com reports. "Any such eruptions this weekend would be Earth-directed as the sunspot turns to face our planet," SpaceWeather's Tony Phillips wrote.
Medium-size M-class flares are generally associated with the kinds of solar storms that produce enhanced auroral lights, but not huge inconveniences on Earth. It's the X-class flares you really have to watch out for: That level of solar storming could affect radio communications as well as satellites and electrical grids if the operators of those systems aren't careful.
NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration have a wide array of space assets monitoring the sun, and for now all's quiet on the solar front. NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center reported some problems tracking the Advanced Composition Explorer, a satellite that plays a key role in tracking solar storms, but those problems are expected to go away as ACE's orientation with respect to the sun improves.
The prediction center's Facebook page reports that on Friday, the sun threw off a slow-moving coronal mass ejection, or CME — in the shape of a heart, no less. "A preliminary model run predicts this CME will arrive, appropriately enough, on Valentine's Day," NOAA reports. So if you're out with your Valentine that night, particularly in Scandinavia or Canada, watch the skies. Even if the earth doesn't move, the aurora might glow.
Meanwhile, the sunspot region that caused all the auroral fireworks last month, known as AR1402, has moved around the far side of the sun. Solar scientists will be interested to see how that region has changed when it comes back into view. We're still a year out from the anticipated peak in the sun's 11-year activity cycle, so there'll be lots of sun-watching ahead. The best ways to keep track on a daily basis is to check in with NOAA's space weather center and SpaceWeather.com.
In the meantime, catch up on your oohing and ahhing over the northern lights by clicking on these links:

Update for 4:45 p.m. ET Feb. 11: Speak of the devil ... SolarHam.com reports that AR1402 has indeed made its reappearance on the edge of the sun's disk and was observed firing off C-class solar flares.
Old active region 1402 is currently producing C-class flares as it approaches the northeast limb. Movies by SDO/HMI and GOES SXI.
Update for 2:30 p.m. ET Feb. 12: The double-barreled active region is moving off its direct-fire orientation as the sun continues to rotate, and although the sunspots have continued to grow, it's becoming less likely that any CME from that region would score a direct hit on Earth and its magnetic field. So for now, the most significant effect we can look forward to is a round of colorful northern lights around Valentine's Day.

All quiet in the garden?
Take another look because it seems there might be an awful lot of chatter going on in the flower beds.
In news to gladden the heart of Prince Charles, who was once much mocked for having conversations with cabbages and the like, it appears science has caught up with what many gardeners have long held true – plants can communicate.
Researchers revealed how plants talk by modifying a cabbage gene which triggers the production of a gas emitted when a plant’s surface is cut or pierced.
By adding the protein luciferase – which makes fireflies glow in the dark – to the DNA the plants’ emissions could be monitored on camera.
One cabbage plant had a leaf cut off with scissors and started emitting a gas – methyl jasmonate – thereby ‘telling’ its neighbours there may be trouble ahead.
Two nearby cabbage plants, which had not been touched, received the message they should protect themselves. They did this by producing toxic chemicals on the leaves to fend off predators such as caterpillars.
It is the first time such a process has been caught on camera. Scientists say it raises the possibility that plants are all communicating with each other in a complex ‘invisible language’ which we know nothing about.
The footage will be shown as part of a three-part series called How to Grow a Planet, starting on Tuesday on BBC2 and presented by Professor Iain Stewart.
Professor Stewart, who saw the experiment at Exeter University, said: ‘The gas triggered a change in the biological activity in the two neighbouring plants. They detected the message warning them to protect themselves.
‘It’s fascinating to realise that there could be a constant chatter going on between different plants, that they can in some way sense chemically what is happening to others, like a hidden language which could be going on all around us.
‘Most people assume that plants lead a rather passive life, but in reality they move and sense and communicate. It’s almost like they show a kind of intelligence.’
The work was led by Professor Nick Smirnoff, who said it does not mean plants feel pain because they have no nerves.
Professor Smirnoff, a biochemist, said: ‘We have managed to show in a visual way that the gas emitted by plants when they have been wounded affects their neighbours.
‘But at this stage we don’t know why. They could have been trying to alert the plant’s other leaves to the damage and their neighbours have just picked it up, or they for some reason evolved to alert other plants.
‘It is not clear why that would be beneficial as you would think plants would be in competition with each other. So there’s a lot more work to be done.’

ESCALATION : IMPLIED THREATS AGAINST PROJECT CAMELOT, BILL BROCKBRADER, DAVID WILCOCK & ANONYMOUS CALLER DURING RADIO SHOW
The following was posted on our Facebook wall. Please contact me if you have advice, are able to assist us as a lawyer or other person with expertise in the law, with knowledge in this area or are a white hat military person with expertise in the areas of surveillance etc. PLEASE SUPPORT OUR WORK AND MAKE SURE THEY DON'T TAKE US DOWN. MAY THE TRUTH PREVAIL!! PLEASE SEND THIS MESSAGE VIRAL....
POSTED ON THE PROJECT CAMELOT FACEBOOK PAGE BY AN UNKNOWN PERSON LISTED BELOW
"Ok, now what is this about? Any knowledge?
" “He who hath ears to hear, let him hear”
Send lawyers, guns, and money...the shit has hit the fan!!!
Sources very close to the principles are telling me that a criminal investigation has been initiated into the DEATH THREATS made against David. Also being investigated, are the apparent threats, subsequent to his interview with Kerry, which caused William/Bill Wood/Brockbrader to go into hiding and need protection provided by the “White Hats”. And also, apparently a Grand Jury has now been convened to determine if there is enough evidence to issue subpoenas and/or bring criminal charges against the principle players.
My source guaranteed me that the authorities now active on this case, including the; Ventura and LA County Sheriffs/District Attorneys, Oak Park and LA PD’s, FBI, ICE, FCC, and the US Dept of Homeland Security, will be listening with a very keen ear to Thursdays and Fridays broadcast, and that electronic tracking technology is to be employed that will determine the locations and identities of all primary participants.
Relevant statutes that may have been violated include California Penal Code 422 PC, which is classifies as “wobbler”, meaning that prosecutors may file it as either a misdemeanor or a felony. If you are convicted of the misdemeanor, you face up to one year in a county jail. If you are convicted of the felony, you face up to four years in the California state prison. Using a dangerous or deadly weapon increases your sentence by one year.
And because a criminal threats conviction is a "strike" under California's
three strikes law, you must serve at least 85% of your sentence before you are eligible for release.
In addition, under the Fourteenth Amendment, courts have given a particularly broad interpretation to the "Commerce Clause" power, permitting Congress to make a federal crime of many common law crimes such as kidnapping, murder, threats of murder and/or bodily harm; if state lines are crossed during commission of the crime, using instrumentalities of commerce such as telephone lines or the U.S. mail.
Other statues being looked at as to their applicability are:
- Aiding and abetting
- Using the airwaves in the commission of a crime. It will be interesting to see how broadcasting over the “internet” as opposed to actual “airwaves plays out in the interpretation and application of the law and which, if any, statutes have been violated and/or crimes committed
- Solicitation (hiring/contracting/making arrangement for someone) to commit a felony
- Failure to report a crime and/or concealing the identities of those who may have committed a crime, i.e, issuing death threats, and/or conveying the message that death threats have been made are also crimes.
- If perchance it turns out that all this was staged for show/theater/book sales …then you have the crime of “yelling fire in a theater”. The people of the greater Ventura County area, upon hearing the interviews have a justified and reasonable cause to be concerned for their and their children’s lives and well-being if a galactic star wars type of battle is about to commence in their back yards
- And I’m not sure what crime or penal code would apply if someone from “far, far, away” threatens to come “here” and not just kill someone, but mess with his or her soul after death too, must be against some law?
- Then you have Bill Wood/Brockbrader possibly blackmailing, at the very least, the Navy SEALS…”hurt my family and I’ll release information that will damage you…leave me alone and I won’t”. And at the worse, since the threat involves agents/agencies of the US Government; it may even be construed as Treason and/or cause said person to be determined to be an “enemy combatant; and eligible for an undetermined stay at GITMO.
- Finally, the “White Hats” representative, the guy with the Irish accent apparently floating around in space along with Michael and the other Archangels, Jodi foster, and John Hurt could be considered a gang and/or member of an organized crime syndicate.
Having said all that, the good news, gang; is that this pimple is about to pop and soon all US conspiracy nuts are about to discover whether this ongoing saga/drama is/has been; “Live or Memorex”…Real or a Publicity stunt...Sanity or a Delusional Disorder.
Peace be with you all,

Ben Fulford (Jan 30 2012) ~ Out Of The Box Negotiations Are Proceeding At The Highest Level
Posted on January 30, 2012 by Gillian
Benjamin Fulford | January 30 2012
The reason that many of the top Federal Reserve Board crime syndicate crooks have not been arrested yet is that the old system needs to be kept going with string and wire and duct-tape until final preparations for a radically new system are completed. For example, an Asian proposal now being negotiated calls for 10 million yen or about US$125,000 to be budgeted for each and every individual human being on earth. The Pentagon is also making similar radical proposals for a complete change of how humans interact with each other and with nature. The big conclusion being reached at the highest level is that the old financial system in the West was an illusion used by a secret cabal to keep us enslaved. We are now about to become truly free in ways that will exceed most people’s most optimistic expectations. However, there will be some hard work at first before this becomes true.
The proposal being forwarded by the White Dragon Society to Asian clan elders is for the creation of a new, meritocratically staffed organization to be set up near Tenri City, South of Osaka. The name now being proposed for this organization is “Long-term Investments For Everyone,” or LIFE, for short.
The negotiations towards unifying the Korean Peninsula with Japan and moving the capital of this new entity to the same region are also proceeding smoothly. We can confirm that Japanese “kidnap victim” Megumi Yokota is the mother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. Kim has agreed to accept the union of the Northern dynasty with the Southern one in the region in exchange for a ceremonial post. Perhaps he can become the symbol of unity and have his own palace and staff.
The initial funding for LIFE, to be backed by Gold returned to Asia from the West as well as by other historical assets, can be set at 7000 trillion yen or, as mentioned above, about $125,000 per human. The money will be delivered in the form of development services such as canals, sewer systems, desalination plants, nature preserves, fish farms etc. People working for LIFE will receive generous salaries and be subject to draconian penalties for corruption.
LIFE will not be the only major organization working on planning for the future of the species according to White Dragon Society proposals.
The British Commonwealth, with its 1.8 billion members, will want their own independently financed development and future planning organization built according to commonwealth consensus. It will probably have to be initially headed by someone from India in order to make up for past British racism. Indian and other historical gold assets as well as commonwealth real estate will back their funding.
The Catholic Church and Vatican Bank will also want to have a Christian planning agency controlled by actual Christians for their 1.2 billion members once the Satanists are purged from the Vatican bank.
Similar independent groups such as the Chinese, the Muslims, the Africans and the first nations will also be able to plan for their own independent futures.
In addition, the United Nations will have to be radically restructured in order to make it truly representative of the human race and not be an instrument of Western imperialism as it is today.
Studies by the pentagon, anthropological research and corporate governance research all conclude that the most effective decision making bodies number between 6-9 people. This is the size of the traditional human family during hunter gatherer times. The most natural division for humanity along cultural and historical lines suggests a new council of elders be put at the heart of the United Nations Security Council.
The White Dragon suggestion is for a representative to be selected by each of the following groups: Africa, China, East Asia (excluding China), India, North and South America, Europe including Russia, the Islamic world and first nations.
This 8 person grouping would only function as an emergency consultative council to deal with issues affecting all humans. It would operate according to majority rule. Each region would have a veto but that veto would be restricted to that region only.
Sovereign nation states would continue to exist as before unless voluntary agreements to merge were reached between countries.
The Pentagon, for its part, has reached an agreement to merge with the Chinese and Russian Military to form a global peace keeping force, according to a high ranking agency source.
There has also been an agreement to break up many of the large corporations controlled by the Khazarian Satanic Cabal. Microsoft was specifically mentioned as a company that was about to go Kaput. The major corporate media corporations will also be broken up. Many other top 100 corporations will be broken up into as many as 20 smaller units, according to this source.
The cabalists in charge of the G5 countries are also going to be excluded from the new financial system. If necessary the Pentagon will round up both the Illuminati and the Nazis, in order to make sure they cause no more trouble.
In the US there is also going to be a detailed study of what happened over the past 100 years since the Federal Reserve Board took over and a lot of stolen funds are going to be returned to their rightful owners.
A lot of billionaires will soon be out on the street pan-handling if they are found to have been living on stolen funds. A lot of poor people will suddenly be able to live in their own, mortgage free homes.
Needless to say, revamping how we run the planet is not an easy job. There is a lot of nitty gritty to be taken care of before anything public is announced. We also need to be on extreme alert for any last minute Satanic terror attacks aimed at trying to prevent the freeing of the sheeple.
However, have no doubt, the Satanists will be defeated. There will be world peace, an end to poverty and an end to environmental destruction. Humanity will be set free.
Here is something sent by a Pentagon source. It is by Jim Channon and reflects the kinds of ideas being bandied around as humanity heads into a new age.
Twelve Break-Thru’s Of The Next Decade
Opportunities on the event horizon
1. Oil companies realize they are liquid transportation companies and start to move fresh water to needy places on the planet.
2. Major engineering companies respond to rising seas and create canals that take the excess water into barren lowlands inside the continents where it is needed.
3. The national military forces of the planet merge to form natural security teams and restore their respective parts of the earth’s forests, plant life, watersheds, wildlife and the biosphere above all that.
4. That schools recognize that content is already available on line and change their courses to life skills, learning based pursuits, and a new partnership with nature.
5. That Universities build upon the science of conscious evolution, a visionary mindset, and life force living intelligence and then structure their experience based curricula to that end.
6. That government decentralizes into bioregions and organizes military units, school kids, fire departments and others to generate food foraging forests in all available sites for complete global food security.
7. That neighborhoods take on a wide variety of energy producing solutions to become fully independent but not totally separate from the power grid.
8. That web-based democracies attend to their regionally based constituents and use the global web intelligence system to optimize local living.
9. That railheads, airports, and warehouses converge to be able to launch global air rescue missions that deliver major emergency living villages to all peoples globally within hours of a disaster.
10. That the global public achieves a clear unifying identity and the pre-emptive political power to defang the nuclear arsenal and its fear based factions while offering alternative product lines for the military industrial complex.
11. That we accept the notion that life is more likely to exist in the galaxy than not and prepare for the real benefits of new connections.
12. That we embrace a new level of profound simplicity and reintroduce creativity as a replacement for things and mindless entertainment.

NEW UPDATE! David Wilcock “Financial Tyranny” Section 5 is Here!!… “THE MASS ARRESTS HAVE ALREADY STARTED”
Posted on January 28, 2012
This is a most important update (well, which one of David’s articles is not important). Full of information, new photos, etc. Wow, is all I can say.
David writes this update statement.
“[UPDATE SATURDAY 1/28: Section Five has now been released. It is massive -- and highly fascinating, with a great deal of extremely sensitive information that may be very surprising to a lot of people.
"I hope that Section Six will follow very soon afterwards, but I wanted to get this out now -- because we've had so many people eagerly awaiting it, and the mass arrests have already started.
"And yes... in response to many concerns, I have been working way, way too many hours per day on this and have not had enough sleep -- but I will soon.]“
Section 5 is entitled, “Bretton Woods and the BIS“. The current Section 6 is where David has put all of the comments. I have saved the entire article, as it is currently, on 1-28-12, at 2125 HST, for download:

Below are the pieces of this Section that struck me (these are mostly from the latter parts of the article).
—————————————————————————
THE MASS ARRESTS HAVE ALREADY STARTED
It appears that we will soon see mass arrests of many key conspirators in this problem — by a majority faction within the Pentagon.
The majority Pentagon faction is, in turn, backed and supported by an alliance of 122 nations. Many more will undoubtedly join once action begins to take place.
According to Fulford, over 60 percent of the US military in the Pentagon now supports the overthrow of this cabal. Recently, a new military witness has gone public — with even more corroborating detail about all of this.
Much of what he and I discussed must remain off the record. None of us have been given enough detail to cause any damage to the plans if we were interrogated.
However, I do believe these plans are very real, and will succeed. The timing of when this will be done is unknown — but it does appear that it all depends on how quickly things come to a head.
Given what has just happened — right as we were about to publish the final investigation — it seems the arrests have already started.
At the very least, we are seeing the first phase of the arrests.
AN UNPRECEDENTED HOUSECLEANING
The full event will create an unprecedented housecleaning of the executive, legislative and judicial branches of the US government.
It will also sweep through large corporations, the finance industry, the military and the mainstream media complex — which is largely dominated by a handful of corporations.
The logistics of actually accomplishing this feat are staggering to comprehend.
I fully understand how terrifying this will be to most people — and there will be incredibly powerful disinformation suggesting it will be a “New World Order takeover” once it happens.
However, it appears to have already started as of Saturday, January 28, 2011 — and no one seems to be going into a panic. [Kp emphasis]
….
THE NDAA ACT IS A DIRECT ATTACK AGAINST THE CONSTITUTION
Remember — the first line of the Oath of Enlistment [of an Oathkeeper or soldier] tells the soldier his responsibility is to the Constitution of the United States of America — regardless of what foreign or domestic enemies may do to threaten it.
That responsibility can include going against direct orders from the highest levels of the unelected and / or occult government.
….
GAME OVER
While I agree with Bill’s statement about the petition, I have also heard there is a much deeper and more compelling initiative at work. Therefore I would like to speak directly to the people who are continuing to perpetrate Financial Tyranny.
Guys… This is it. Game Over. You can rape us, beat us, kill us, detain us and silence us, but you cannot stop The Avalanche.
It’s here. It’s real. It’s much bigger than you could ever possibly imagine.
A paper-thin layer of fear is the only thing holding back The Avalanche right now. You know that. I know that. We’re not stupid. We’re adults. We know what happens in history when this occurs. It’s called a coup.
It’s going to happen no matter what. I have nothing to do with it. I believe the plan is so comprehensive and brilliant that there is no possible way for you to stop it.
I know you’re scared — but the best thing you can do is STOP LYING.
You still have a chance to give humanity the greatest gift of all time — an end to secrecy — and the most mind-blowing awakening in the planet’s history.

Snowy owls soar south from Arctic in rare mass migration
SALMON, Idaho (Reuters) - Bird enthusiasts are reporting rising numbers of snowy owls from the Arctic winging into the lower 48 states this winter in a mass southern migration that a leading owl researcher called "unbelievable."
Thousands of the snow-white birds, which stand 2 feet tall with 5-foot wingspans, have been spotted from coast to coast, feeding in farmlands in Idaho, roosting on rooftops in Montana, gliding over golf courses in Missouri and soaring over shorelines in Massachusetts.
A certain number of the iconic owls fly south from their Arctic breeding grounds each winter but rarely do so many venture so far away even amid large-scale, periodic southern migrations known as irruptions.
"What we're seeing now -- it's unbelievable," said Denver Holt, head of the Owl Research Institute in Montana.
"This is the most significant wildlife event in decades," added Holt, who has studied snowy owls in their Arctic tundra ecosystem for two decades.
Holt and other owl experts say the phenomenon is likely linked to lemmings, a rodent that accounts for 90 percent of the diet of snowy owls during breeding months that stretch from May into September. The largely nocturnal birds also prey on a host of other animals, from voles to geese.
An especially plentiful supply of lemmings last season likely led to a population boom among owls that resulted in each breeding pair hatching as many as seven offspring. That compares to a typical clutch size of no more than two, Holt said.
Greater competition this year for food in the Far North by the booming bird population may have then driven mostly younger, male owls much farther south than normal.
Research on the animals is scarce because of the remoteness and extreme conditions of the terrain the owls occupy, including northern Russia and Scandinavia, he said.
The surge in snowy owl sightings has brought birders flocking from Texas, Arizona and Utah to the Northern Rockies and Pacific Northwest, pouring tourist dollars into local economies and crowding parks and wildlife areas. The irruption has triggered widespread public fascination that appears to span ages and interests.
"For the last couple months, every other visitor asks if we've seen a snowy owl today," said Frances Tanaka, a volunteer for the Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge northeast of Olympia, Washington.
But accounts of emaciated owls at some sites -- including a food-starved bird that dropped dead in a farmer's field in Wisconsin -- suggest the migration has a darker side. And Holt said an owl that landed at an airport in Hawaii in November was shot and killed to avoid collisions with planes.
He said snowy owl populations are believed to be in an overall decline, possibly because a changing climate has lessened the abundance of vegetation like grasses that lemmings rely on.
This winter's snowy owl outbreak, with multiple sightings as far south as Oklahoma, remains largely a mystery of nature.
"There's a lot of speculation. As far as hard evidence, we really don't know," Holt said.

Strange unknown object in the night sky. Halit Safin, a famous photographer in Ufa, took a video of an unusual glow on January 23, 2012.
He phoned a friend and said that in the sky above the street in the Green Grove Kuvykina, from eight o’clock in the evening flickers something unusual.
Halit, as child fascinated by the UFO phenomenon, arrived at the place at midnight and filmed on camera lights with shirokofokusnym lens.
“A friend stayed in his car to follow the object, and I went home for a long lens to look at what it is. The lens I bought to watch the stars four years ago, here’s the first time there is a need to use it in practice”.
When Halit returned to his seat, glow in the sky is still maintained, but declined slightly. “I looked through the lens of the neighboring stars, they shone like the object”, – said Halit.

Hey there friends,
RE BLOG FROM ENFOLDED BLUE "SITE PROBLEMS",
This is the first time I have accessed Lightworkers in weeks. I figure there is some kind of virus that has attacked and scrambled certain IP (internet provider addresses)and is not recognising them. Everytime, I tried to diagnose the access problem, it would give me a bodgy IP origin address, particularly off my own PC. I could successfully connect with outside computers bar my own. When I conducted an IP search, it would sometimes indicate that I was trying to connect to an IP from Turkey, Germany or Amsterdam which wasn't recognised as Lightworkers.org. I guess Google has something to do with this.
How I managed to get around this issue, was by using another internet search engine (rather than Google), going to a site called 'Hidmyass' downloading and installing a version 'VPN' which gives you another IP address which is invisible on all sites and to other users. You can pay monthly, 6 monthly, or yearly (I did 12 months at a cost of $80.00). Well worth it if you wish to keep you IP address details private and secure, particularly in this instance.
Much love to you all

In my last blog I really beat around the bush. I was trying to be kind and non judgmental. But for the past year or so every time I post a blog I get a few inbox messages telling me how I am going to hell, how I am a bad mother, how my kids are going to get sick because of my sins, and the like. Why and how did this get started on this site? A site for people who allegedly want to "bring the light" to this world?
Certainly, I am a hypocrite. I think I admit that. I have a strong, horrible ego. I don't think I ever came across holier than thou, shittier than thou maybe...
I am not sure why I am inciting this type of response. Maybe I really am damned and horrible. Maybe they really are what they think they are and they are right. That should stroke their egos a bit...you are right. Yay for you.
But anyway, I am definitely done here. But I wasn't going to quietly slink away. Here is my evil, sinful ego at work again- but I am feeding it this time. I think it is wrong to judge people, send them harassing inbox messages, curse people's children, and call people names. I don't see how this can possibly bring any light. And if anyone else on this site receives harassing messages I encourgae you to fight back. You probably will have a better way than me, less anger, more love...but either way you do it, I do not think it should be acceptable, expecially not in this type of space.
Love and Light to all the people I got to know here. Those of us who interacted on one another's blogs through the years, you know who you are. Zen. LOveLight, Yarra, Maggie...to many to mention! Thanks for everything- the support, kindness, acceptance, and love.

Jake Olzen, Nation of Change, 12-29-2011
“This yes to nonviolence signals the awakening consciousness that summarily connects us to that which is most important in our lives and our communities.”
If 2011 was the year of the protester, 2012 may prove to be the year of nonviolence. What’s the difference? It’s as great as between yes and no. A crucial awakening that envelopes humanity’s collective struggle for justice, peace and democracy is happening; it is an awakening that clarifies the circumstances we embrace with a yes and those by which we respond with a vehement no. Like many I know, I often teeter between despair and hope–stuck in a kind of uncomfortable tension resembling Wendell Berry’s poetic instruction to “be joyful though you have considered all the facts” –grasping for some measure of sanity to make sense of all that is happening.
It is tempting to succumb to despair, what with the onslaught of major media coverage telling us all the bad news, dismissing the promising news, and ignoring the good news. Consider the challenges: the unraveling violence of the Egyptian revolution, the 5,000 killed in Syria, climate change and the instability and disasters brought by extreme weather patterns and an ill-equipped global populace with inadequate leadership, the threat of random violence and terrorist activity–Norway, Belgium, India, the US, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq–and state and cultural violence against immigrants, women, refugees, the poor, GLBTQ persons, and people of color. So where is the hope? Well, in 2011, the fires of our hope were stoked by the global protest movements–the Arab Spring, the Indignados, Occupy Wall Street–of millions of people rising up to say: كفاية …Basta…Enough! Resistance was in the streets and occupations in city squares.
A resounding “no” echoed around the world–what Bernard Harcourt has perceptively termed “political disobedience”–signifying contempt, dissatisfaction, and rejection of entrenched governments and status quo economics. Dictators were ousted in Egypt and Tunisia. Revolutionary fervor was sparked by nonviolent action in Libya, Syria and Yemen. South Korean activists are poised to possibly shutter the building of a controversial US naval base with profound geopolitical implications. Afghan youth are getting organized–an incredible feat considering all the challenges they face. Palestinian nonviolent resistance and the Free Gaza movement is growing as are Israeli protests for social justice. In the US, activists and organizers in Wisconsin and Ohio occupied their state capitals to protest budget cuts and GOP anti-unionism. Undocumented students–DREAMers–took it to the streets and Senators’ offices.
Environmentalists, farmers, ranchers, students and citizens staged sit-ins at the White House to protest the Keystone XL Pipeline–whose fate is still TBD but the resistance is growing. And then there was Occupy Wall Street. The movement propelled American activism back into public purview and is proving to be the era where a generation of young people–equipped with the tools, knowledge and experience of the civil rights and anti-war generations–are cutting their teeth in nonviolent social change. We are telling ourselves that there is reason to hope because we incarnate it.
The protests of 2011 are the harbinger of what we’ve already known–what we’ve been waiting and working for–that neoliberalism’s carte blanche as signed by the Washington Consensus is on the way out. The days of political regimes that are not truly democratic (and, apparently, equitable) are–at the very least in ideological terms–numbered. In the 00s, there was an explosion of social commentary on globalization: Thomas Freidman, Naomi Klein, Paul Hawken, Vandana Shiva. Paul Kingsnorth, a British journalist, penned a book whose title has stayed with me: One No, Many Yeses. The catchy, chant-like title offers a simple way to reflect on the the historical moment we are experiencing. As symbolized by Time‘s “Person of the Year,” there is a global “no!” to anti-democratic governments and unfettered capitalism. But at the same time, that singular no of protest is united by the multitude of “yeses” whose global resonance signifies the arrival of a comprehensive vision of nonviolence.
This yes to nonviolence signals the awakening consciousness that summarily connects us to that which is most important in our lives and our communities: the desire to be connected, to live without fear, to be healthy and be in healthy relationships, to be free to have self-determining and mutually-supporting ways of living, working, parenting, learning, teaching, creating, and, yes, even dying. Never before have we witnessed the acute, raw, powerful desire for life in such a way that so many diverse peoples are willingly struggling for that way of being.Nonviolence–however broadly we choose to define it, whether that be strategically, principally, as a communication technique, as a tactic, as a religious commitment, as a process–has inspired hope, awakened creativity, and substantially changed, once again, the world. Gandhi’s term, “satyagraha,” contains a meaning so varied yet concrete and so distinct yet common that “nonviolence” left lacking. Satyagraha is means and ends. It is an effective tactic of protest, a viable social program and an eternal, utopian hope.
The nonviolence in 2012 is shoving the nonviolence of protest into the “constructive program” that rejects the there-is-no-alternative to global capitalism. The nonviolence of 2012 will continue to hold up the alternatives to violence, oppression, and injustice by being the vision it seeks. Democratic participation, consensus-based decision-making, decentralized leadership models, shared responsibility, and economics of common wealth and individual affirmation of uniqueness are being experimented with across the world in thousands of different contexts–and with success! “General assembly” being a household word, the lack of charismatic leadership and establishment confusion over what protesters demand all confirm that nonviolence is more than just protest.
Despairingly, I don’t have much hope in protest alone any more; many of us do not. The record-breaking millions who protested the 2003 Iraq War and the continued political impotence on climate change–like in Copenhagen, 2009, and Durban, 2011–show that the “system” is incapable of responding to genuine democratic sentiments.
But the hope of nonviolence, besides having some ability to shake the system into response, is in its birthing new paradigms that are more about praxis and participation than they are about ideology. Through these protests, power is in the process of being fundamentally redefined as something to be shared. Political systems and social relationships–having been more or less stagnant since political liberalism first appeared on the Enlightenment scene and later re-affirmed post-Cold War–are showing early signs of social evolution, an indicator that we are not yet at the end of history.
Nonviolence, then, as a common denominator in politics, economics, relationships, and resistance movements can be a guiding–and deciding–force for local and global solutions that are democratically-directed and people-powered.
I have hope in 2012!

THIS IS THE REASON I MADE THE N.W.O. GROUP'S, IT'S DIFFICULT TO ACCEPT BUT WE MUST BE HONEST WITH OURSELVES!!!
Even if we did have a revolution, the Globalist would still be safe in their bunkers until the revolution was over &/or carry out the same AGENDA regarding the presidential election & political affairs, and would continue the same cycle of oppressing the intelligence of humanity through their conditioning and influence from what they see on television and hear on the radio from early childhood. Also causing humanities regression while they maintain power. Thus it seems as though the revolution would be futile and they would continue to exterminate/ reduce life expectancy of humanity through the water with fluoride which contains uranium and chlorine. A.K.A. Soft kill weapons, military terminology Mind control Etc, etc, etc.
This is the cold hard truth of the fact of the matter. The Globalist have done this with complete mindfulness of what they were doing, and are the true terrorists of humanity. Now We the People and the Universal MAHATMAS, LIGHTWORKERS & Many many, many others, challenge anyone who supports the New World Order!!! The issue WILL BE addressed by all those who oppose the New World Order, promptly, For it would be inhumane if we did not. We cannot/ will not sit back and watch humanity be exterminated by egotistically intelligent individuals who have attained a "certain" degree of power. We are making a stand here and now. And Now is the time and Here is the place, with ALL of Our Resources at hand & in place!!!

I've asked the question time & time again & it seems as though people are hesitant towards answering this. What's the relationship beetween The particular people in http://www.bilderberg2011.com/ & what aspect of http://www.un.org/esa/dsd/agenda21/ are they assoiated with?

Spiritual Sex: Ecstatic Love Beyond The Physical
by Linda E. Savage From The Huffington Post
Eleven minutes: that's the estimated time most couples spend making love and sometimes its not even much fun. Between one quarter and one half of long term relationships are beset with low desire and it is common for spouses to find other sexual outlets. We are living in a time when all the marital roles and rules have changed and old solutions don't seem to be working.
Even with these facts, I'm not at all pessimistic about the possibilities of lasting sexual love, but I do believe we are looking in all the wrong places. We cannot mandate thrilling, connected sexual encounters and just because one is married and "should" be having lots of fulfilling sex, doesn't make it so. The fact is we do not have any idea just how deep and all encompassing sex can be because we are stuck with a model of sex that I call, "The Performance Model: Sex equals intercourse": the goal of sex is orgasm, and great sex is a virtuoso performance.
As recent as one hundred years ago, women were thought to be incapable of orgasm and sex was intended purely for procreation. Not that everyone accepted this view, but everything in our Western culture supported women's sexual ignorance and encouraged men to use sex in very limited ways. Now, women are supposed to have orgasms every time and men are supposed to last all night as perfect sexual athletes. It's a recipe for disaster which the invention of Viagra has not averted.
So imagine living in a culture where sex was sacred and not a sin and sexuality was seen as a positive expression of the life force. This perspective was the norm in many cultures pre-dating Greek and Roman times and these societies date back 30,000 years. Even as late as 3,500 years ago those who lived on the island of Crete recognized sexual pleasure as a wonderful way to connect with spirit, renew the abundance of the land, and unite deeply with one another. In this culture sexuality was widely understood as a pathway to spiritual ecstasy.
The fact is that sexuality and spirituality were never split until well into the first millennium of the Common Era when denial of the body became the popular theology of the day. It may seem outrageous to view sexuality in such lofty terms. Yet, it no longer makes sense to deny the spiritual dimension of our sexuality, as if we had "lower," physical urges and "higher," spiritual functions, disconnected from the body.
Before you read on, let me define what I mean by spiritual sex: it is sexual energy that goes beyond physical sensations of pleasure and genital orgasms. It is not limited to genital stimulation and the release of tension through a quick and simple orgasm. When spiritual sex is consciously practiced, there is a quality of "mindfulness," which is heightened awareness and expanded consciousness. The more cosmic experiences utilizing sexual energy create ecstatic states. The essence of spiritual sex is enhanced awareness, extraordinary inspiration, and a sense of merging with the life force.
For simplicity's sake, I've divided spiritual sex into two levels: the first is conscious loving which is sexual energy that generates intense, loving feelings for the partner. The result is greater partner connection, reinforcing commitment in a long-term relationship through loving communion, enhancing the bond. The second level is spiritual union which is the ultimate expression of sexuality. Often one receives inspiration and illumination that can be translated into divine guidance or simply experienced as pure bliss. These transcendental sexual experiences produce a sense of merging with the source of energy and losing physical boundaries during orgasm. It is often described as "being in the moment of boundless bliss." Many ancient and modern visionary experiences are described as feelings of being "bathed in pure light." It is cosmic orgasm, the direct experience of the self as pure energy, in union with a divine source. This level of spiritual sex may occur without a partner and even without any physical stimulation.
Many of you intuitively know the link between spirituality and sexuality through direct experience. One woman, I'll call Carrie, related the following; "At the moment of orgasm I knew that I was in a great, golden light and I experienced myself as transparent, luminous energy. I saw seven star-like, golden, swirling points that lined up in my body. I did not know about the chakras at the time but later I discovered that that's what I saw. My energy centers looked like radiant golden lights in my body." What she had visualized was the life force freely flowing through all seven energy centers that were illuminated and energized by her orgasm. Many people who become interested in spiritual sex have had initial spontaneous ecstatic experiences such as Carrie's.
Since sexual energy is the source of our connection to the life force, the benefits to physical, emotional, and mental health are obvious. Developing conscious rituals and techniques allow you to become more open to such transcendent experiences. It prepares you to be receptive to the possibility of connecting in higher states of awareness from peak sexual moments. The teachings of ancient sacred sexuality traditions are a veritable garden of suggestions that I will be offering in this blog which I plan to use as a way to inspire you to practice a deeper connection with sexuality. Through this blog, I would love to answer questions and have you share your experiences, including those you have had with ecstatic sexuality.

Why yawning is no insult; it's a sign that someone really cares...
When your friend stifles a yawn as you chat, don’t be offended. Instead, take it as a compliment. For, far from being a sign of boredom, yawning may signal empathy.
Scientists believe that contagious yawning – yawning after someone else does – is a sign of being keenly interested in the first person’s thoughts and feelings.
This is the theory of Italian researchers who observed more than 100 men and women from four continents as they went to work, ate in restaurants and sat in waiting rooms.
When one of the volunteers yawned, the researchers noted whether anyone within a 10ft radius ‘caught’ the yawn – that is, yawned within the next three minutes.
Their results showed that race and gender had no effect on whether the uncontrollable urge to yawn was passed on. But how well the two people knew each other did.
A reciprocal yawn was most likely to occur among family members, then friends, then acquaintances. The phenomenon was least common among strangers, the journal PLoS ONE reports.
The University of Pisa team concluded that contagious yawning is driven by how emotionally close we are to someone and so how likely we are to empathise with them.
They say there are other reasons to link yawning with empathy.
For instance, we start to ‘catch’ yawns from the age of four or five, around the time when we develop the ability to identify each other’s emotions properly.
Studies also show that those susceptible to contagious yawning are better at inferring what others are thinking from their faces.
Most animals, including snakes and fish yawn, but it is only contagious in humans and chimps and, according to a recent study, dogs.
Scrutiny of 29 dogs placed in a room with a yawning man found that 21 - or 72 per cent - also started to yawn.
Top of the yawners was a Border Collie, fitting in five yawns in the space of a few minutes.
The researchers, from the University of London's Birbeck College, said the skill may allow the pet to build stronger bonds with their owners.

France calls on world powers to 'save the Syrian people'
France joined Britain and the US on Saturday in raising an alarm that Syria's President Bashar al-Assad's troops may be about to launch a crackdown on opposition forces in the city of Homs.
By Shona BHATTACHARYYA (video)
News Wires (text)
www.france24.com/en/20111210-france-foreign-ministry-kouchner-violence-syria-assad-homs
REUTERS - France called on world powers to “save the Syrian people” on Saturday as it joined the United States and Britain in raising an alarm that President Bashar al-Assad’s forces may be about to storm the rebel stronghold of Homs.
In Damascus, the government denied any crackdown, while accusing its opponents of taking up arms and warning the rebels’ supporters in the West that Syria could count on Russia, China and others to oppose any foreign intervention in its affairs.
In Homs, a pro-democracy activist said there was no clear sign of a troop build-up other campaigners had reported around the city on Friday. Opposition groups have called for businesses and labour not to work on Sunday, the first day of the working week in Syria, in what they have called a “Strike for Dignity”.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an opposition website, said 12 people were killed across the country on Saturday plus a man who died of his wounds and three bodies returned to families whom it said had died of torture.
“France is extremely concerned about information of a massive military operation being prepared by Syrian security authorities against the city of Homs,” French Foreign Ministry spokesman Bernard Valero said, echoing concerns raised in Washington, London and neighbouring Turkey.
“France warns the Syrian government and will hold the Syrian authorities responsible for any action against the population."
“The entire international community must mobilise itself to save the Syrian people,” Valero added in a statement.
On Friday, a U.S. State Department spokeswoman said: “It is extremely concerning that in places like Homs we have huge number of reports that they are preparing something large-scale.
“They are not going to be able to hide who’s responsible if there is a major assault on the weekend.”
“No Crackdown”
Syria rejected that characterisation of events: “There is no policy of crackdown,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Jihad Makdesi told Reuters in an e-mail. “The Syrian forces are there to protect civilians and maintain law and order that is breached by those who are carrying arms against the State.
“The story of peacefulness of the protest is no longer a valid story in some places,” he said. “Syria needs evolution and not armed confrontation.”
Separately, the official Syrian news agency SANA said the so-called BRICS group of developing economic powers - Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa - “reiterated its absolute rejection to any interference in Syrian affairs”.
It cited a message from Russia’s U.N. ambassador Vitaly Churkin to the United Nations Security Council, which has been the forum for sharp divisions over Syria between the Western powers on the one hand and Russia and China on the other.
Such differences, and Syria’s pivotal position at the heart of a web of regional conflicts, mean few see much possibility for the kind of Western military action seen this year in Libya.
The Arab League has been pressing Syria, under threat of sanctions, to remove troops from its towns and let in observers. Egypt’s MENA news agency said on Saturday Arab foreign ministers will meet in Cairo at the end of the week to discuss a response to what it called a conditional Syrian acceptance of monitors.
Turkey warned Syria on Friday it would act to protect itself if the crushing of protest threatened regional security and unleashed a tide of refugees on its borders.
The opposition Syrian National Council said in a statement about Homs on Friday: “News reports, videos and information from activists indicate that the regime is preparing to commit a massacre in the city to extinguish the flame of the revolution and ‘discipline’ the rest of Syria’s cities.”
However, some activists questioned whether the SNC statement was intended principally to galvanise international action.
One campaigner in Homs, a city of 1.5 million, saw little sign of an imminent offensive on Saturday: “I have been hearing this since yesterday. I did a tour around the city and I did not see anything unusual.
“It’s the same checkpoints and the same number of soldiers.”
Death Toll
Peaceful demonstrations calling for reform began in Syria in March, inspired by the Arab Spring, but were met almost from the outset by lethal force. Activists say about 4,600 Syrians have been killed, about a quarter of them from security forces.
President Assad says some “mistakes” may have occurred but denies giving any shoot-to-kill order over the past nine months of violent repression, which has prompted defections from the military and led to the creation of a rebel Free Syrian Army.
The Syrian National Council and the Free Syrian Army are separate organisations. The Council has urged the rebel army to stop attacking the army and limit itself to purely “defensive” actions, in order to avoid starting an all-out civil war.
U.N. rights chief Navi Pillay repeated her call for investigators to be allowed into Syria. She is due to brief the Security Council on Monday at the request of France.
This is not the usual posting I would put up. Last night before bed I visioned/saw the crowds of people in the video that goes with this news article. I could barely sleep last night as I saw so much colour and light. After speaking to the Creator since I have woke, this is what I was told I saw and guided to share. I did not see the words, only the people, the crowds moving and standing and what I saw is exact to a couple of images in the video. I hope the video plays. I had trouble bringing it in as its not from Youtube. [here is the link: www.france24.com/en/20111210-france-foreign-ministry-kouchner-violence-syria-assad-homs ]

7 December 2011
Japan has used funds from its tsunami recovery budget to subsidise its controversial annual whaling programme, animal rights activists say.
Greenpeace says 2.3bn yen ($30m; £19m) is being used to fund extra security measures for the whaling fleet.
Japanese officials argued when they applied for extra funding that whaling helped coastal communities.
The whaling fleet reportedly headed for Antarctic waters this week, though Tokyo has not confirmed the reports.
There has been a ban on commercial whaling for 25 years, but Japan catches about 1,000 whales each year in what it says is a scientific research programme.
Critics say those claims are just a cover for a commercial operation, and accuse the Japanese of hunting the animals to the brink of extinction only for food.
Militant anti-whaling groups attack the fleet every year, and last year forced the Japanese to abandon its programme before it was completed.
Earlier this year, the Japanese Fisheries Agency applied to the government for extra funding for its programme from the emergency budget aimed at helping communities recover from the devastating tsunami and earthquake.
The agency argued that some of the towns and villages affected relied on whaling for their livelihoods.
Activists say the agency's funding request was approved and it has spent the money on extra security and covering its debts.
Junichi Sato, from Greenpeace Japan, told Australia's ABC that there was no link between the whaling programme and the tsunami recovery.
"It is simply used to cover the debts of the whaling programme, because the whaling programme itself has been suffering from big financial problems," he said.
The Australian and New Zealand governments have both criticised Japan's decision to continue whaling.
They are both considering sending vessels to monitor the whaling fleet.
Meanwhile, activists from the militant Sea Shepherd group have promised that they will carry on their campaign against the whaling fleet.

A Simple and Powerful Realization Featured
Written by Carlo Ami
(Clarifying My Review of Love in the Time of Transition)
This blog posting is designed with the structure of the Pause Sessions I have created for “The Wake Up Book.” It is suggested that when you see the purple heart icon, you pause and reflect before continuing to read.
We all tend to get our lessons in the strangest ways sometimes. Yesterday and today, thanks to the fallout from my review of the online movie, "Love, Reality in the Time of Transition," I have found a greater clarity on what I see our Universe is asking of us all.
The only respondent to my posting who had more than a very brief statement of interest jumped all over the case I had made for that movie being more than a little polluted. She told me I was all wet, totally wrong. While I usually would let such criticism roll off may back, particularly when it is in the form of a rant, I was inspired to go back to the movie and watch it a second time. However you respond to what is to follow here, I believe that you will be inspired to find greater clarity about your own sense of exactly what is in front of us, collectively and individually, if you spend a little time with this article.
I do observe that the use of the English language in this movie is often needlessly complicated and confusing and that there are instances of one set of commentary contradicting others.
I will concede that the intent of this movie's makers may well be of noble intention, so I will back off yesterdays suggestion of sinister motive. As I wrote in yesterday's review, there is a lot of worthy content in this movie. Much of it is about waking up to what is happening with our world and becoming more aware of what is going on inside of us, a battle that the apparently external world mirrors for us as a way of teaching us. Creating tools to help people wake up is a prime focus of what I do.
While the case is expertly made that it is important for us to wake up to the challenges of our world---the corruption, greed, hunger, fear and hopelessness---the answer to these challenges that is sprinkled throughout the movie misses the mark.
First, we are told what will not work in the quest for a more harmonious and happy world: The idea that we create our own reality is said to be "fatuous": "Everyone who 'believes' in an attempt to 'create reality' that is different from what IS, adds to the increase of chaos and entropy." This is simply counter-intuitive from my perspective.
It also purports that sending loving energy to others who have not invited us to send it is silly. I guess that shoots prayer out the window as something they see as worth doing. Or maybe we ought to warn folks first if we want to pray for them? Also knocked is the whole idea of karma.
And on top of all that, maybe we should be afraid of malicious aliens: We should be aware that “UFOs are not signs of our 'space brothers' coming to help us but that we are actually “food” in many ways....” What is this, some awkward allusion to the old Twilight Zone episode where the aliens had a cookbook called "To Serve Man?"
We are told that we must protest, confront, must get rid of or integrate the dark side energies, and exert great effort to avoid calamity. Please read the passage below closely. Accompanied by dramatic music, these are the words scrolled across the screen ending the movie:
"With the approach of the era of the Holy Spirit, everything must be gradually brought to the light of day, not only the secrets of the laboratory but the deepest meanings of esotericism. The same must happen with illusions, errors and lies, which must also be revealed so that they can later be rectified.
[…]
The world is suffering from a lack of harmony which gets deeper on every plane, and this is a serious danger to the moral and spiritual recovery of humanity. It also involves a serious risk of failure in the last stage of this Time of transition that we are now entering. If this risk is not overcome, the Deluge of Fire awaits us. We will have to make an immense effort to ward off this fate, and we have very little time in which to do it. Man has only himself to blame for the greatness of the effort needed: this is a result of his obstinate refusal to heed the warnings that have been addressed to him time and again by the Divine Voice, just as he continues today to blind himself to the fact that the Deluge of Fire is being made ready."
.........................................................................................................Gnosis II, Boris Mouravieff
A pretty scary scenario, isn’t it? So is this what we are to take on: Let’s assign blame. It’s all our fault?
When it’s about to hit the fan, the egoic part of us rushes to judgment. And for what purpose?
For me, the whole idea of having to make immense effort to avoid the fiery deluge is completely misguided. While this last passage does not express just what "immense effort" is needed, scattered throughout the movie are suggestions that we must protest, we must confront, we must bring up the dark energies within us and deal with them. Some say that we must integrate this "dark side."
Society has conditioned us to think that we must fight for what we want, that confrontation is the only solution in defeating our enemies. The only perceived alternative is to sit there like a blind slug, they say. We see the task of becoming enlightened as some kind of tortuous gauntlet, that attaining such a lofty goal must require great effort.
Mirroring the human ego, our governmental, dark corporate and religious institutions are geared up to perpetuate our fear that life is just about frustration, overwhelm and having to fight each other for what we want. We tend to want to fight for control of our children, our spouses, our co-workers and friends. Living by our institutions' rules, we might perceive life to be just one big series of ongoing battles.
Do you believe that getting to the high plateau of enlightened living must be a great struggle?
Given the fact that society has proven battling does not work to create a lasting peace, we continue to fight because it is the only potential solution we have seen as possibly viable. And of course some have simply embraced hopelessness and self-pity.
Have you thought about what it will take for you to have a happier life, and for us to have a truly harmonious way of living together in peace? What solutions have you envisioned?
If fighting is not going to work, then what is? What if there is a solution to the chaos and conflict in our world that we have simply never tried because it has not occurred to us? What if something beautiful and simple is available to us that could, in relatively speedy fashion, propel us to higher states of consciousness, happiness, peace and harmony?
What if we are able to create a revolution in which there would be no bloodshed, no harm to anyone? What if no "immense effort," fighting or confrontation was required for us to evolve into a world of harmony?
What if?
The appearance and behavior of the apparently external world will not change before there is a collective change within enough of us to create a tipping point. If we expect that we can force the so-called external world to change before we do, we invite the fiery deluge alluded to in the passage above. The Universe is calling upon us to drop the inner war we fight with ourselves, the battle between the loving will of the heart and the destructive neediness of the ego.
The strategy for this can be quite simple: we simply choose to withdraw all attention and suport from the ego. This requires trust in ourselves and each other. It takes courage to move beyond the known. As enough of us do this our world will appear much different than it is now. As we demonstrate and live with this courage, our institutions as we know them will fade away as we learn that we can deal with their destructive nature in exactly the same way that the influence of the phony power of the imaginary ego is negated: withdrawing our attention and support from them.
As we awaken, we will look upon the word "effort" in a whole new way. All our "doings" will cease to ever be knee-jerk responses to any input from the "external world." All of our doings will be natural expressions of our being as we realize it for the loving essence that it is.
Our actions in the world, alone and with each other, will simply be reflection of our inner trust and knowing that we are all divine, and all intimately connected in a way that is known by the heart but is beyond the ability of the mind to understand or put into words.
Our coming world will see us with a redefined motive for acting as we will: Instead of preoccupaton with what we can get, our focus will be on how often and how effectively we can give. In living this, we will all be adequately fed.
Clarity in the quest for a better life and a better world boils down to this: It all starts with you. The Great Shift will happen as enough of us embrace the power of love, as we redefine who we are: a united collection of loving spirits all taking a ride in mobile and seemingly separate sacks of skin designed for mutual nurturance.
Any remaining egoic part of you, having read this, may now be flying into fear or avoidance mode, for your embrace of these ideas portends the death of ego, that imaginary part of you that only exists as you feed it.
Will you listen to the panic of threatened ego and jump at the first available distraction that occurs to you?
Will you now listen to your heart?
Maybe another key to our more graceful unfolding that runs counter to ego:
Send loving energy to the "bad guys."

The folks at Zooniverse have a new citizen science project for you to play with — matching up whalesong to try and analyze the watery leviathans’ language.
Sounds have been collected from both pilot whales and killer whales (both of which are actually species of dolphin). Each family of killer whales appears to have a distinct “ dialect” that it uses to communicate, and closely related families appear to share calls. Biologists have begun to categorize those noises, but the species’ communication is still poorly understood.
Sounds have been collected from both pilot whales and killer whales (both of which are actually species of dolphin). Each family of killer whales appears to have a distinct “ dialect” that it uses to communicate, and closely related families appear to share calls. Biologists have begun to categorize those noises, but the species’ communication is still poorly understood.
Pilot whales, too, appear to have similar dialects and calls, but researchers haven’t yet begun to seriously categorize these in the same way. Some of the calls have a general context that’s known — reproduction, contact calls for finding each other, etc. — but many others remain a mystery. Furthering the process of analyzing both species’ calls is where you come in.
If you head over to Whale.fm, you’ll be presented with a large whale call, placed on a Google map, and 36 smaller possible matches. Your task is to pick the one that’s closest to the original call, with the help of visualizations of what the audio sounds like.
With the public’s assistance in matching items in the datasets and creating links, the team behind the experiment, from St. Andrews University in Scotland, hope to better classify the datasets and also answer a few additional questions — how large the pilot whales’ call repertoire is, whether long-finned and short-finned pilot whales have different dialects, and whether the whale song changes during sonar transmissions (from human activity).
The sounds are collected from animals tagged with “D-Tags,” non-invasive sensors attached with suction cups, which eventually fall off. They record not only the sounds that the animals make, but also what they hear from other animals. They record location-based data, too, making them very useful for remotely studying the creatures. They’re attached by scientists using long poles.
What we particularly like about Whale.fm is how soothing the whole process is. If you’re having a tough day at work, put your headphones on and take five minutes to match a few whale noises. We guarantee you’ll feel better.

Rasanath Das, an ex-investment banker turned Hindu monk, was spending recent Sunday afternoons leading Occupy Wall Street protesters in meditation until police cleared their camp at New York's Zuccotti Park this week.
The 32-year-old monk isn't sure now where his next session will be. He'll keep following the protesters to lead meditation, though, convinced they will only roll back the inequality around them if they find equanimity deep inside.
"Anger won't solve anything," he told Reuters. "We have to work from the heart ... there is so much distrust now."
Das has been a discreet presence at the protests, leading short sessions before making way for other religious leaders to preach at a weekly interfaith service. What he doesn't tell is the unlikely story of how he ended up in Lower Manhattan.
A native of Mumbai, Das studied at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT.L) and moved to the United States in 2000 to work as a consultant with the accounting firm Deloitte.
After earning a masters of business administration MBA.L at Cornell, he started at Bank of America in 2006.
His specialty was the technology, media and telecoms sector and he dealt in so-called structured products, including mortgage-backed securities -- "the things that blew up, the toxic products" as he put it in a telephone interview.
Das had studied this market but remained baffled by it even after he began trading. "I saw people I considered much smarter than I was, and they really believed in them, so I didn't open my mouth," he said.
"MUSICAL CHAIRS"
As world markets began to crumble in 2007, a superior told him: "You have to realise this is a game of musical chairs when the music stops, the person or bank that has the assets sitting on his books loses."
"The far-reaching consequences for the economy were not something he would foresee," Das said. His doubts grew until, the following year, he found himself working on a merger and acquisition project for Playboy magazine.
It struck him as absurd trying to sell sex when the economy was collapsing and people were losing their jobs. "It was not that I hated the industry or the people I worked with," he said. "But I began to see the shallowness in that world. I wanted to be part of something authentic and deep."
In fact, Das was already linked to that something. Since 2007, he had been living in a Hindu monastery in Manhattan's East Village. "I was living out of a large closet, with four suits and button-down shirts," he said.
"I slept on the floor and lived the life of a monk."
Das had been practicing karma yoga, the Hindu path of selfless service to the divine, for a decade before moving into the monastery in 2007. As part of this active service, he used his $170,000 annual salary to help finance the monastery.
"Living in a monastery was a very strong safety belt to make sure I kept my inner core," he explained.
CORPORATE CHAPLAIN
When he quit in late 2008, one Bank of America manager praised his courage and another said he was making the worst mistake of his life. Several colleagues confided their discontent to him and some also quit, he said.
Das admitted it was hard to give up the perks and prestige of the investment banker's life, but it wasn't what he wanted.
"It was only after joining the monastery that I began to understand the prison of Wall Street," he said. "I didn't hate those people but I began to understand what drives them and how much shallowness and suffering is there inside."
Das has left Wall Street but not the financial industry. Part of his new work is speaking at corporate retreats about leadership and self-awareness to help managers get beyond the greed he sees driving the financial industry.
After a local newspaper recently profiled him, two high-flyers from the investment bank Goldman Sachs visited him at the monastery to discuss the financial crisis. "They're coming back again soon," he said.
Das sees his work as a kind of corporate chaplain who could help build character in managers and help avoid disastrous decisions made when short-term goals prevail. More regulation of the financial industry may be needed, but only a higher consciousness will help in the long term, he said.
Asked if protesters and profiteers could develop this higher consciousness, he said: "I keep my expectations low but at the same time I keep my enthusiasm high.
"I've met so many people who want to make a change. To me, that's very inspiring."

When Titanic sailed on its maiden voyage a century ago, it had on board a new kind of communication system called radio. This was of course a very new thing, and everyone wanted to use for the most frivolous and cavalier purposes, like informing friends when they would arrive, to telling them what a good time they were having aboard ship. The builders of the ship had a far less mundane purpose in mind, namely to assure the safety of the ship, the passengers and the crew. In those days, only a handful of radios were even in existence, and the range was not really that great, so it was not yet a perfect system in terms of reaching someone in case there were problems at sea. Even if there were no actual emergencies, it also served to keep the captain and the helm informed of potential hazards, such as bad weather, other vessels nearby, and of course icebergs. When a ship nearby (The California) attempted to alert them of extreme hazards in their path, the radio operators of the Titanic chided them for using the radio frequencies that they were using to transmit all manner of unimportant drivel. The California then decided to lay to, and turned off their radio. As fate would have it, the hazards were very real, and at the least convenient moment, in the coldest waters of the Atlantic, in the dead of night, disaster struck. What at one moment was considered inconceivable happened; she struck an iceberg while sailing nonchalantly at full throttle through invisible dangers. The disgusted radio operator on the only vessel with any hope of assisting them, was now fast asleep, and the lookouts were watching the distress from afar thinking they were merely watching a merry party with lots of fireworks. The only vessel that did hear the call was now too far away to be of any use. The irony was, that virtually everyone on that unfortunate ship could have been saved, first, by heeding the advice of other captains and also laying to, and second by not alienating the only immediate source and means of rescue, and third by keeping the channel open for the really important messages. Suffice to say, the night did not end well for the Titanic; the captain and most aboard went down with the ship.
Ponder this when you reproach our captain (Lovelight), who is at the helm of our ship (Lightworkers.org), who wants to be a responsible commander, and who doesn’t want the ship to go down, taking the passengers and herself with it to the ocean depths. Other similar ships have foundered, and litter the depths.
I hope this metaphor is of use to everyone.
(Note: this not a channeling and the admins may remove/move it at their discretion.)
Thank you LoveLight for your service, and willingness to make the difficult choices.

Wall Street sit-in goes global Saturday
LONDON (Reuters) - For an October revolution, dress warm. That's the word going out - politely - on the Web to rally street protests on Saturday around the globe from New Zealand to Alaska via London, Frankfurt, Washington and, of course, New York, where the past month's Occupy Wall Street movement has inspired a worldwide yell of anger at banks and financiers.
How many will show up, let alone stay to camp out to disrupt city centers for days, or months, to come, is anyone's guess. The hundreds at Manhattan's Zuccotti Park were calling for back-up on Friday, fearing imminent eviction. Rome expects tens of thousands at a national protest of more traditional stamp.
Few other police forces expect more than a few thousand to turn out on the day for what is billed as an exercise in social media-spread, Arab Spring-inspired, grassroots democracy with an emphasis on peaceful, homespun debate, as seen among Madrid's "indignados" in June or at the current Wall Street park sit-in.
Blogs and Facebook pages devoted to "October 15" - #O15 on Twitter - abound with exhortations to keep the peace, bring an open mind, a sleeping bag, food and warm clothing; in Britain, "Occupy London Stock Exchange" is at pains to stress it does not plan to actually, well, occupy the stock exchange.
That may turn off those with a taste for the kind of anarchic violence seen in London in August, at anti-capitalism protests of the past decade and at some rallies against spending cuts in Europe this year. But, as Karlin Younger of consultancy Control Risks said:
"When there's a protest by an organization that's very grassroots, you can't be sure who will show up."
Concrete demands are few from those who proclaim "We are the 99 percent," other than a general sense that the other 1 percent - the "greedy and corrupt" rich, and especially banks - should pay more, and that elected governments are not listening.
"It's time for us to unite; it's time for them to listen; people of the world, rise up!" proclaims the Web site United for #GlobalChange. "We are not goods in the hands of politicians and bankers who do not represent us ... We will peacefully demonstrate, talk and organize until we make it happen."
By doing so peacefully, many hope for a wider political impact, by amplifying the chord their ideas strike with millions of voters in wealthy countries who feel ever more squeezed by the global financial crisis while the rich seem to get richer.
"ENOUGH IS ENOUGH"
"We have people from all walks of life joining us every day," said Spyro, one of those behind a Facebook page in London which has grown to have some 12,000 followers in a few weeks, enthused by Occupy Wall Street. Some 5,000 have posted that they will turn out, though even some activists expect fewer will.
Spyro, a 28-year-old graduate who has a well-paid job and did not want his family name published, summed up the main target of the global protests as "the financial system."
Angry at taxpayer bailouts of banks since crisis hit in 2008 and at big bonuses still paid to some who work in them while unemployment blights the lives of many young Britons, he said: "People all over the world, we are saying 'Enough is enough'."
What the remedy would be, Spyro said, was not for him to say but should emerge from public debate - a common theme for those camping out off Wall Street since mid-September, who have stirred up U.S. political debate and, a Reuters poll found, won sympathy from over a third of Americans.
A suggestions log posted at http://15october.net ("This space is ready for YOUR idea for the revolution") range from a mass cutting up of credit cards ("hit the banks where it counts") to "use technology to make education free."
For all such utopianism, the possibility that peaceful mass action, helped by new technologies, can bring real change has been reinforced by the success of Arab uprisings this year.
"I've been waiting for this protest for a long time, since 2008," said Daniel Schreiber, 28, an editor in Berlin. "I was always wondering why people aren't outraged and why nothing has happened and finally, three years later, it's happening."
Quite what is happening, though, is hard to say. The biggest turnouts are expected where local conditions are most acute.
Italian police are preparing for tens of thousands to march in Rome against austerity measures planned by the beleaguered government of Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.
Yet in crisis-ravaged Athens, where big protests have seen violence at times of late, a sense of fatigue and futility may limit numbers on Saturday. In Madrid, where thousands of young "indignados," or "angry ones," camped out for weeks, many also feel the movement has run out of steam since the summer.
Germans, where sympathy for southern Europe's debt troubles is patchy, the financial center of Frankfurt, and the European Central
Bank in particular, is expected to be a focus of marches calling by the Spanish-inspired Real Democracy Now movement.
Complicating German sentiments, however, a series of small bombs found on trains has stirred memories of the left-wing guerrilla attacks that grew in the 1970s from frustration at a lack of change after the student protests of 1968.
CITY OF LONDON
British student protests a year ago were marked by some acts of violence by what authorities say were hard-core anarchists. Days of looting in London in August were put down to motives that mingled political discontent with criminal opportunism.
As an international center of finance, the City of London is key target. But organizers know strong police powers make setting up a Wall Street-style protest camp there far from easy.
"There's quite a bit of fatigue setting in," said one young veteran of last year's protests against higher university fees. "But if it's still going by Monday or Tuesday, I think that will excite students and they will head down. The City is much more the focus of people's anger now, compared to a year ago."
A long Saturday of rallies may start in New Zealand, where the Occupy Auckland Facebook page provides links recommending "suitable clothing ... a sleeping bag, a tent, food" -- but, in a family-friendly spirit, strictly no drugs or alcohol.
Asian authorities and businesses may have less to fear, since most of their economies are still growing strongly.
Tracking across the time zones, through towns large and small ("Occupy Norwich!" reads a website from the picturesque English city), the New York example has also prompted calls for similar occupations in dozens of U.S. cities from Saturday.
In Houston, protesters plan to tap into anger at big oil companies. As the world's day ends, hardy souls will be marching in Fairbanks. "We will be obeying traffic lights," insist the authors of OccupyAlaska.org, and they "will be dressed warm."
History suggests such actions are unlikely, of themselves, to change the world. As one anonymous poster at 15october.net writes, "Fleshing out ideas into living reality has always been the bugbear of radical politics." And while anger at corporate greed is widespread, there are plenty of voters who would agree with the Australian who posted on the OccupySydney site that those marching will be "the lazy, the paranoid, the confused."
But some analysts do see a potential for political change.
Jeff Madrick, a prominent economics writer, speaks warmly of the serious and reasonable debate he found at Zuccotti Park. Revolutions may be rare, but the protests could push lawmakers to act on some of the demands, he said last week: "It may begin to change public opinion enough to give Congress, people in Washington, the courage of their own convictions."

Volcanic eruption alert on Spanish Canary Island
MADRID — The regional government of the Spanish Canary Island of El Hierro has issued a volcanic eruption alert following almost 10,000 small tremors recorded in the past three months.
The government posted a yellow alert — second level in a scale of four — Sunday and closed some hillside roads and a tunnel to avoid possible injury by falling rocks.
The island's 11,000 residents have been told to monitor communications by the civil protection authority. The island was shaken late Saturday by a 4.3-magnitude quake. Seismic activity began in the area on July 17.
Like all the Canary Islands, El Hierro was formed by volcanic activity. It has some 500 volcanic cones.

#OccupyTheFED
This is in solidarity with the #OccupyWallSt, and #OccupyDc, #oct6th Movements as well as Occupations beginning around the world!!!
We are calling for the end of the Federal Reserve. Calling for the SIMULTANEOUS Occupation of all Regional Banks and sub branches in November in sync with the National Fed Rallies taking place around the country on Nov. 22
Our initial demands include:
Immediate passage of HR 459 and S 202 the Federal Reserve Transparency Act and HR 1094 The Federal Reserve Board Abolition Act
Immediate resignation of Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke
A timely & specific end date, set by Congress to end the Federal Reserve System
There is very much a possibility of an economic collapse due in majority to the actions of the Federal Reserve. However, we encourage all Americans to be prepared at all times by storing food, water, gold, silver, seeds etc. and by taking action now to end the Federal Reserve system by joining or supporting an occupation at your nearest Federal Reserve building.
This is about peaceful and non-violent resistance. We are calling for the blockade of entrances to the Federal Reserve offices by occupation. Remain peaceful, read from the constitution, meditate, lay down, etc!!!

College Sympathizers Of Occupy Wall Street Walk Out Of Class In Support
Earlier today, students from at least 100 college campuses around the country walked out of class in a show of solidarity and support for the Occupy Wall Street movement.
While the Occupy Wall Street movement has yet to present a coherent agenda or message, the college students who marched today in support of it were clear about their concerns. They banded together to make their voices heard, many citing the rising amount of student loan debt and the increasing cost of college, in addition to a dearth of decent jobs for recent graduates.
"With budget cuts and tuition increases, students' voices are demanding to be heard," said Conor Tomás Reed, 30, a participant in today's walkout. Reed teaches at the City University of New York and is also a student at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. "It's a collective roar, and students are beyond disgusted and fed up. The time is especially ripe for this kind of mobilization."
Today marked a significant day for the movement as a whole, both for its organization and coordination among college campuses and for its ability to mobilize supporters across not just a city, but an entire nation.
In New York, Reed walked out of his graduate school class at 3:45 p.m. to join his fellow classmates in a caravan to downtown Manhattan. Once in Foley Square, they planned to march in solidarity with the thousands of other protesters headed towards Liberty Plaza.
"It's a fever. It's really spreading like a fever," said Reed, who was also among the more than 700 individuals arrested on the Brooklyn Bridge during the Occupy Wall Street protests last Saturday. He compared today's student walkouts with the lunch counter sit-ins of the 1960s.
While getting college students to skip class doesn't necessarily qualify as a radical act of political engagement, Shamus Khan, a professor of sociology at Columbia University, sees a larger, possibly more unifying force at work in today's walkouts.
"There's this broad sense of alienation among this generation, both in terms of how they're going to get jobs and where the direction of the nation is headed," said Khan. "There's this generational collective anxiety of where they belong in the world and where the world is headed. They don't feel secure in the world they're about to inherit."
The collective anxiety has yielded collective action. In New York, while student organizers at CUNY and SUNY had originally planned the walkout for Wednesday afternoon, word quickly spread to other schools and to other cities.
By Sunday night, the New York-led student walkout had gained national traction, as Occupy Colleges, a Los Angeles-based grassroots group, aimed to get as many colleges on board as possible.
Occupy College's Facebook page announced a countrywide student walkout at noon, local time. It read: "Do not go to school. Go fight for yours and everybody else's rights. The time is now to join our fellow 99 percent!" By Wednesday morning, 75 schools had registered; by the end of the day, dozens of pictures of student-led walkouts littered their Facebook wall.
On the West Coast, Occupy Colleges includes student representation from UCLA, California State University at Bakersfield, California State University at Northridge and College of the Canyons. An ill-timed rainstorm apparently got in the way of afternoon organizing in southern California. According to Natalia, one of the facilitators at Occupy Colleges who declined the use of her last name, a planned walkout at the University of California, Los Angeles, campus was also limited due to the weather.
Despite the rain, Natalia reported a small walkout at Santa Monica City College, in addition to a larger student-led protest at the University of California, Berkeley.
Back in the east, James Searle, 26, a Ph.D at the University of Albany, reported that about 450 students assembled at a lunchtime rally to air their grievances, mostly related to the recent hike in tuition.
Afterward, the group made its way towards University Hall, where the school's administration is located. While police initially barred their entry, Searle said that about 200 students finally made their way through the doors to participate in a general assembly outside the president's office.
Elsewhere, David Michael Ball, a 20-year-old freshman at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, organized his school's walkout. As the clock struck 12, he and 41 other classmates gathered in a common area at the center of campus, where they read speeches, aired the demands of the Occupy Wall Street protesters and then spent another hour addressing the issues they faced as students, namely, the cost of tuition, student loans and the minimum wage.
"It was empowering to finally feel like we were doing something that mattered for the world," said Ball, who hopes the student-led branch of the movement continues to gain traction.
In Boston, Bryan MacCormack, a senior at Northeastern University, has been involved in campus activist groups since he took a class two years ago called "Global Markets and Local Cultures." He learned about the Occupy Wall Street movement soon after the first calls to action went out, and says he was initially unsure that anything would come of it. Over the past few weeks, as the movement gathered steam, he says he slowly came around.
On Monday, he received an email from another campus activist, Kate Pipa, who said she had learned through Facebook and other social media of a movement called Occupy Colleges. "We started a Facebook group and called a meeting that night," said MacCormack.
Early Wednesday afternoon, MacCormack and about 100 other students gathered by a flagpole on Northeastern's campus and took turns delivering short speeches from a low granite wall engraved with the names of school benefactors, speaking in a style familiar to anyone who has spent time at the Occupy protests, with the crowd repeating and amplifying each of the speaker's sentences.
One after another, the speakers explained why they counted themselves among the "99 percent" of Americans who don't control the bulk of the country's wealth. For the most part, they focused on issues of concern to college students: worries about their future, and in particular anxiety about repaying loans and their mounting student debts.
Alyssa Castiglia, a senior, described herself as "a typical Northeastern student" who studied hard and got good grades but struggled to pay tuition. "My parents can't afford for me to go to school," she said. "When I graduate, I'm going to have $125,000 in loans, which is $1,500 a month. I ask you, how I am supposed to live off that? I am the 99 percent, and it isn't fair that someone who works hard can't succeed."
Back in New York, Jason Farbman, a 33-year-old graduate student at New York University, planned on airing his complaints loud and clear.
"There's this generalized anger that students are finally allowed to express," said Farbman, who planned on meeting up with fellow NYU and New School students in Washington Square Park after walking out of class. "Every student in school right now is looking at the prospect of zero employment, insane debts to go to school, and entering into a workforce with no jobs. These are kids from every walk of life who are doing exactly what they've been told to do in order to succeed and realizing that it's all a bunch of bullshit."

Rachel Maddow raised a series of questions about the legality of the killing of the U.S.-born cleric Anwar al-Awlaki on her Friday show.
Al-Awlaki was killed by a U.S. airstrike on Friday morning. While many lawmakers and pundits celebrated the death, others were troubled by the precedent that might be set by killing an American citizen without any trial or evidence presented against him.
Maddow ran through the long list of operations that al-Awlaki was allegedly involved in. She noted that there were "a lot of 'allegedlys'" in the list, and that "none of those allegations was ever made in court." The only due process involved in al-Awlaki's killing, she says, was that President Obama ordered him to be killed.
"Can the United States government choose an American citizen to be executed without ever charging them with anything, without ever proving anything against them, without ever giving them a chance to defend themselves?" she wondered. "Whether or not you think it is deserved, under what authority did President Obama or could any president sign him up to be killed on sight?"
Later, Maddow asked her guest, Wired writer Spencer Ackerman, about the precedent that could be set by the killing.
"If the US government can justify this action overseas, what about here in the US?" she asked. Ackerman said he didn't see what the difference was between ordering an American to be killed overseas and ordering him to be killed on U.S. soil.

A starry-eyed photographer has captured the beauty of the Milky Way above the Himalayan night sky - after taking a midnight walk due to insomnia.
Dedicated snapper Anton Jankovoy trekked up a staggering 15,000ft to reach a good vantage point to try and capture the perfect pictures.
But after numerous attempts he failed to spot the amazing array of solar systems and stars he wanted to picture.
Amazingly, however, the photographer chanced upon the phenomenal view after taking a late-night walk when he was unable to sleep.
One image shows the sprawling collection of stars, planets and solar systems hovering above the highest mountain range in the world.
The 23-year-old's results are spectacular - perfectly catching a series of stunning shots appearing to stop the movement of the universe in its tracks.
And another shows a guest house stayed in by Anton as he made his descent, with the Milky Way above the mountainside chalet.
Each one of the incredible images took hours to capture and expose - all while enduring freezing conditions.
Anton, from Zhytomyr in the Ukraine, said: 'This photo is taken in the highest mountains in the world - the Himalayas.
'The photo of the Milky Way above the mountain range is in the Mardi Khola valley with the beautiful stars above it.
'It wasn't tourist season and only nature lovers were there. At night none of them slept and made lots of noise which I could not stand. So I got clothed and went out for a walk instead and saw the absolutely stunning view.
'I quickly got my camera as fast as I could and got the shots.
'I love the pureness of nature and the beauty of the mountains and endlessness of the Universe. These are the things that inspired me to take this shot.
'I find it very sad, that with the lifestyle of modern humanity, one out of five people never gets to see the Milky Way. In the big cities everybody is rushing about living their daily lives, without even knowing that wonders like that exist here on Earth.
'Sometimes it's just enough to look up or around to see how wonderful it can be - these pictures prove that.'
Anton's stunning shot above the Himalayas has won him professional acclaim. And the Ukrainian photographer revealed how he turned to meditation in a bid to stave off the chilly conditions experienced in Nepal.
He said: 'When I was taking the shots it took a long while. I could never imagine this photo would get so popular - maybe I need to go to the Himalayas more often.'
The experienced landscape photographer added: 'I adore photography, especially landscapes because I can just sit there and observe the nature around me. It's so peaceful.
'But because Milky Way images need very long shutter speeds they take a lot of patience. I've learnt how to endure the freezing cold by meditating. It's surprising but it really helps.
'All my childhood I dreamt about mountains and hoped to visit Nepal one day. Now I have done that. It has taken a lot of dedication and patience but the result has been worth it.'

Obama Ordered To Denver Bunker By US Military
To if the date of 27 September when Obama will be in Denver will be the date this “spark” is set off it is not in our knowing. What is in our knowing, though, is that since the CIA transferred their headquarters to Denver in 2005 under the mysterious airport [second photo left] with bizarre murals depicting [3rd and 4th photos left]picturing mass global death, particularly between Israelis and Palestinians, the questions as to who, or what, actually controls the United States today remains in question.
And when this information is coupled with the fact that 27 September is one of the most significant dates in American history because on that date, in 1777, after British troops captured Philadelphia, Lancaster, Pennsylvania became the United States capitol for that single day, the first time such a thing occurred in all of that nations history, and it is, also, the date that Comet Elenin enters into its feared alignment with the Earth, Sun and Moon with many believing these conjunctions areresponsible for catastrophic earthquakes and tsunamis, and nearly all of NASA’s top officials and scientists will be in Denver on that date too, one can be justifiably perplexed as to the many meanings these events have.

- Once you drop off something you may find the value of it -
I realized during the few days that I have deep connections to some persons at Lightworkers and realized that the connections are very important for me to find guidance for difficult questions. If I look at my path on spiritual growth and support I have got, it really is via this site. I would be fairly alone without you folks. I want to say to you how amazing you are. How important each comment and blog is regardless what it says. This seems to be constant rebuilding of my truth – constant emotional roller coaster to realize something I thought of that I am already mastering. Higher the consciousness expands, the more I am understanding how little I really not know 8>) but same time understanding how important some simple things are.

I just received this message on Facebook and I wanted to share it with everyone. . .
Rebecca Willis~ By the way....IN LIGHT of all the hacking going on...Yesterday, the Salusa, Galactic Federation facebook page was hacked into. It appears that the Ones who do not resonate with the LIGHT that abounds actually attempted to taint the Salusa page with icky negative comments. In any case, the Salusa page had to be deleted due to all the mischief from the "One's" who create chaos to try and keep us in confusion. The more they try to manipulate and attempt to taint the Light...THE MORE THEY ARE ACTUALLY EXPOSING THEMSELVES!! STAY IN THE FAITH OF YOUR LIGHT...the fear based manipulators will make attempts, but they are futile as illusion cannot withstand the LIGHT OF TRUTH!! May all lies and illusion wither in the LIGHT of DIVINE LOVE!!
Message from Caridaway: This is why many of us seem to be so particular about picking these messages apart. Sometimes the messages are authentic and even truthful but can have blatant if not subtle suggestions that encourage dependency rather than personal sovereignty and those individuals that still have insecurities to some extent will feel comforted by that. It is not always fear mongering that is the problem. Those that understand we should be focusing on flying out of the nest and that it will require some kahunas, see through the way we are coddled and promised protection. Many messages that tell it like it is may incite fear but are spot on. It comes down to this. . .it doesn't matter what anyone says about future events, everyone is on their own personal journey. Don't trust anyone but your own intuition. If you screw up at least YOU are the one that is responsible for your own choices. I have to say though it is getting really difficult for anyone to screw with anyone else now because the veil is dissipating and we have no choice but to see the true nature of reality like it or not and that is. . . love. Can you feel it? As the world is being turned upside down people are screaming. Some are screaming oh shit! Some are screaming Woo hoo! Let's do this thing. Some people are throwing up but hey. . .in the end we will all say, what a ride. What's next?
Much love to everyone~

Making a black hole let go of anything is a tall order. But their grip may slowly weaken if the universe has extra dimensions, something that pulsars could help us to test.
String theory, which attempts to unify all the known forces, calls for extra spatial dimensions beyond the three we experience. Testing the theory has proved difficult, however.
Now John Simonetti of Virginia Tech in Blacksburg and colleagues say black holes orbited by neutron stars called pulsars could do just that - if cosmic surveys can locate such pairings. "The universe contains 'experimental' setups we cannot produce on Earth," he says.
Black holes are predicted to fritter away their mass over time by emitting particles, a phenomenon called Hawking radiation. Without extra dimensions, this process is predicted to be agonisingly slow for run-of-the-mill black holes weighing a few times as much as the sun, making it impossible to measure.
Extra dimensions would give the particles more ways to escape, speeding up the process. This rapid weight loss would loosen a black hole's gravitational grip on any orbiting objects, causing them to spiral outwards by a few metres per year, the team calculates.
A pulsar orbiting a black hole could reveal this distancing. That's because the lighthouse-like pulses of radiation they emit would vary slightly depending on the size of the star's orbit.

One would be excused for suspecting that Aidan Dwyer, said to be 13, is in fact a small, very young-looking, 37-year-old college-educated con-man of the highest order.
Such is not the case though for what the young Long Island lad has accomplished in a feat typically associated with much older individuals.
As reported on the Patch community website out of Northport, N.Y., Aidan has used the Fibonacci sequence to devise a more efficient way to collect solar energy, earning himself a provisional U.S. patent and interest from "entities" apparently eager to explore commercializing his innovation.
And you're wondering what the Fibonacci sequence is. Aidan explains it all on a page on the website of the American Museum of Natural History, which recently named him one of its Young Naturalist Award winners for 2011. The awards go to students from middle school through high school who have investigated questions they have in the areas of biology, Earth science, ecology and astronomy.
So back to the Fibonacci sequence: Starting with the numbers 0 and 1, each subsequent number is the sum of the previous two - 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13.... These numbers, when put in ratios, happens to show up in the patterns of branches and leaves on trees. Aidan, having been mesmerized by tree-branch patterns during a winter hike in the Catskills, sought to investigate why. His hunch: "I knew that branches and leaves collected sunlight for photosynthesis, so my next experiments investigated if the Fibonacci pattern helped."
One thing led to another, and before you know it, this kid, three years from being eligible for a driver's license, had built a tree-like stand affixed with small solar panels in the Fibonacci pattern. He compared its ability to collect sunlight to a flat-panel collector. And Nature won.
Summing up his research and imagining the possibilities, Aidan wrote: "The tree design takes up less room than flat-panel arrays and works in spots that don't have a full southern view. It collects more sunlight in winter. Shade and bad weather like snow don't hurt it because the panels are not flat. It even looks nicer because it looks like a tree. A design like this may work better in urban areas where space and direct sunlight can be hard to find."

Sweet that these kids are getting justice. Bitter to hear the details.
There is still good in our government, whether influenced by outside forces or not. Remember when SaLuSa and G.F.O.L. said there would be several trials for the worst evil doers a few weeks back?...
"WASHINGTON (AP) — Seventy-two people have been charged with participating in an international child pornography network that prosecutors say used an online bulletin board called Dreamboard to trade tens of thousands of images and videos of sexually abused children.
Attorney General Eric Holder and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Wednesday a 20-month law enforcement effort called Operation Delego targeted more than 600 Dreamboard members around the world for allegedly participating in the private, members-only Internet club created to promote pedophilia.
Numerous participants in the network sexually abused children ages 12 and under, produced images and video of the abuse and then shared it with other club members, according to court papers released in the case.
At a news conference at the Justice Department, the attorney general called the criminal activity a "nightmare" for the children and said that some of the children featured in the images and videos were just infants.
In many cases, the children being victimized were in obvious, and intentional, pain - even in distress and crying, just as the rules for one area of the bulletin board mandated, the attorney general said.
Fifteen arrested Dreamboard participants personally created child pornography, according to the Justice Department.
Napolitano said the amount of child porn swapped by participants in the network was massive, the equivalent to 16,000 DVDs. Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer, who heads Justice's criminal division, called the criminal enterprise "a living horror."
Of the 72 charged in the United States, 43 have been arrested in this country and nine abroad. Another 20 are known to authorities only by their Internet names and remain at large.
Authorities have arrested people in 13 other countries — Canada, Denmark, Ecuador, France, Germany, Hungary, Kenya, the Netherlands, the Philippines, Qatar, Serbia, Sweden and Switzerland, but some of those were arrested on local rather than the U.S. charges.
The U.S. indictments were unsealed in Shreveport. La.
To conceal their conduct, members used screen names rather than actual names and accessed the bulletin board via proxy servers, with Internet traffic routed through other computers to disguise a user's location, according to the court papers.
Participants were required to continually upload images of child sexual abuse to maintain their membership.
Participants who molested children and created new images of child pornography were placed in a "Super VIP" category that gave them access to the entire quantity of child porn on the bulletin board, the court papers stated.
A "Super Hardcore" section of the bulletin board was limited to posts showing adults having violent sexual intercourse with "very young kids" subjected to physical and sexual abuse.
All 72 U.S. defendants are charged with conspiring to advertise and distribute child pornography, and 50 of them are also charged with engaging in a child pornography enterprise. Thirteen of the 52 defendants who have been arrested have pleaded guilty in the conspiracy. Of the four who have been sentenced, the least amount of prison time was 20 years behind bars and the most was 30 years."
What's left to say? I have no light in my being for people that sick. Glad they're going to jail at least, I would sentence worse..

One extra sense isn't quite enough for Guiana dolphins. In addition to echolocation, they can sense the electric fields of their prey – the first time this has been seen in true mammals.
Wolf Hanke at the University of Rostock in Germany and colleagues were intrigued by thermal images showing intense physiological activity in the pits on the upper jaw of the dolphins, Sotalia guianensis.
Fish, some amphibians and primitive egg-laying mammals such as the duck-billed platypus use similar pits to pick up electric fields generated by nearby animals.
By examining the structures in a dead dolphin, and training a live one to respond to an electric field comparable to that generated by a fish, the team showed that dolphins also have electro-sensory perception.
"Electroreception is good for sensing prey over short distances, where echolocation isn't so effective," says Hanke. Other species of dolphin, and even whales, may be similarly gifted, he says. "Most people don't realise that whales also feed on the floor of the ocean, so it is possible that they also use electrosensing."
Hanke points out that the electro-sensory organs are derived from whiskers in ancestral animals. These mechanoreceptor organs, like the hair cells in the human ear, mechanically transmit the stimulus of touch or sound waves. The adaptation in Guiana dolphins is fairly new, Hanke says, and he suspects that "it is relatively easy to evolve, to change mechanoreceptor organs into electroreceptors".
Indeed, the finding suggests nearly all mammals have at least the potential to evolve it too.

The ability of dolphins to curb infections and quickly heal their injuries may offer new clues for the treatment of human wounds, scientists say.
"Much about the dolphin's healing process remains unreported and poorly documented," wrote Michael Zasloff, adjunct professor at Georgetown University Medical Center who interviewed dolphin handlers and marine biologists to find answers about the miraculous self-healing power of the species.
In his letter published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology, Zasloff recounts several documentations about how quick dolphins manage to heal the wounds caused by severe shark bites, adding that some of these wounds which are larger than a basketball are cured in weeks without causing notable pain or infection or leaving a significant scar.
"If I saw this in a human being, I wouldn't believe it," Zasloff added. "It should awe us. You have an animal that has evolved in the ocean without hands or legs, which swims faster than we can, has intelligence that perhaps equals our social and emotional complexity, and its healing is almost alien compared to what we are capable of."
The investigator scientist concluded that dolphins' resistance to infection may be linked to their blubber that contains natural organohalogen compounds, which function like antibiotics and have antimicrobial properties.
"It's most likely that the dolphin stores its own antimicrobial compound and releases it when an injury occurs," said Zasloff, who previously identified antimicrobial compounds in frog skin and dogfish sharks.
"The repair of a gaping wound to an appearance that is near normal requires the ability of the injured animal to knit newly formed tissues with the existing fabric of adipocytes [fat cells], collagen and elastic fibers," Zasloff noted. "The dolphin's healing is similar to how mammalian fetuses are able to heal in the womb."
In addition, dolphin's unique diving mechanism that might stem in their blood flow enhance healing by diverting blood from the extremities while plunging below the sea, he suggested. The reflex could be triggered after an injury to prevent excessive blood loss.
"Unfortunately, the healing process of dolphins has been poorly studied, but hopefully we'll soon know more, and be able to apply some of what we learn to helping humans,” he expressed.
"My hope is this work will stimulate research that will benefit humans," said Zasloff. "I feel reasonably certain that within this animal's healing wounds we will find novel antimicrobial agents as well as potent analgesic compounds."

For decades, scientists have known that DNA consists of four basic units -- adenine, guanine, thymine and cytosine.
Those four bases have been taught in science textbooks and have formed the basis of the growing knowledge regarding how genes code for life.
Yet in recent history, scientists have expanded that list from four to six.
Now, with a finding published online in the July 21, 2011, issue of the journal Science, researchers from the UNC School of Medicine have discovered the seventh and eighth bases of DNA.
These last two bases -- called 5-formylcytosine and 5 carboxylcytosine -- are actually versions of cytosine that have been modified by Tet proteins, molecular entities thought to play a role in DNA demethylation and stem cell reprogramming.
Thus, the discovery could advance stem cell research by giving a glimpse into the DNA changes -- such as the removal of chemical groups through demethylation -- that could reprogram adult cells to make them act like stem cells.
"Before we can grasp the magnitude of this discovery, we have to figure out the function of these new bases," said senior study author Yi Zhang, Ph.D., Kenan Distinguished Professor of biochemistry and biophysics at UNC and an Investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. "Because these bases represent an intermediate state in the demethylation process, they could be important for cell fate reprogramming and cancer, both of which involve DNA demethylation."
Much is known about the "fifth base," 5-methylcytosine, which arises when a chemical tag or methyl group is tacked onto a cytosine. This methylation is associated with gene silencing, as it causes the DNA's double helix to fold even tighter upon itself.
Last year, Zhang's group reported that Tet proteins can convert 5 methylC (the fifth base) to 5 hydroxymethylC (the sixth base) in the first of a four step reaction leading back to bare-boned cytosine. But try as they might, the researchers could not continue the reaction on to the seventh and eighth bases, called 5 formylC and 5 carboxyC.
The problem, they eventually found, was not that Tet wasn't taking that second and third step, it was that their experimental assay wasn't sensitive enough to detect it. Once they realized the limitations of the assay, they redesigned it and were in fact able to detect the two newest bases of DNA. The researchers then examined embryonic stem cells as well as mouse organs and found that both bases can be detected in genomic DNA.
The finding could have important implications for stem cell research, as it could provide researchers with new tools to erase previous methylation patterns to reprogram adult cells.
It could also inform cancer research, as it could give scientists the opportunity to reactivate tumor suppressor genes that had been silenced by DNA methylation.
The research was funded by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and the National Institutes of Health.

Milagros Garcia is an alleged Alien and Human inter-species hybrid.
The blood DNA from this Puerto Rican woman has yielded analyses so unusual and interesting that the physician involved is now interested in meeting the subject for further study. The DNA is possible in humans but is very rare.
Ms. Garcia claims that she is the offspring of an alien encounter. The Doctor is not interested in the UFO/ alien phenomena he wants answers as to why her DNA has such rare qualities.
A Case similar to this is being investigated in New Paris Ohio. A woman there has exceptional skills and get by on two hours of sleep a night. Pictured on the left is Milagros Garcia's Mother and Milagros Garcia is on the right.
The case of Omnec Onec, an alleged 'Venusian'
Omnec Onec alleges that she is a female extraterrestrial who originally came to Earth in 1955, who was born 246 Earth years ago. Omnec Onec says she was raised on the planet Venus in a town called Teutonia (a city whose name reflects earlier Venus-Earth contacts that included a trip to Venus by a German scientist). She alleges that she lived on an astral plane -- without a physical body -- until she was instructed by her leaders to travel to Earth with a message of peace and brotherhood.
After landing in Earth, she said she was substituted for a seven-year-old girl who had just been killed in a bus wreck accident. She was raised in Chattanooga, Tennessee, by the grandmother of Sheila, the girl whom she had replaced. She grew up in what was to all outward appearances a normal life, never speaking of Venus, and endured the struggles that allowed her to deal with her own karmic past.
She grew up, married and moved to Chicago, where she raised three children. worked as a bar maid, a clothes designer and a cashier.
As a young adult, however, she began to manifest her second mission, to offer humanity an increased awareness of their relation to spirit.
Omnec says she was trained to live as a human in an ancient monastery in Tibet.
She revealed her true space alien nature in 1990, when she wrote and published her best-selling book. Today she travels around the United States and Europe, spreading a message of peace and brotherhood, a she was instructed to do by Venusian leaders.
From the Temple of History she learned of the long-term monitoring of Earth by scientists from many planets and of the nature of life on all of these planets. Earth, the youngest of the planets in this solar system, is plagued by the imbalance caused by its singular Moon, which works an alternating influence on people as it moves through the heavens. The other planets are organized into a Brotherhood of Planets and their monitoring of Earth includes the era of 'Atlantis' and 'Lemuria'. The different races of earth have ties to the inhabitants of the various planets.
According to Onec, a set of teachings called Om-Notia Zedia, the laws of the Supreme Deity, exists on Venus. These teachings start with the utterly transcendent Supreme Deity from whom there issues an audible life stream of Spirit. This life stream sustains the existence of all worlds and universes. Human beings are Soul existing in the ocean of Spirit. Souls have been placed in physical embodiment to awaken to their true nature. The Soul may learn to exist apart from its physical body and to travel in the planes of existence between the physical world and God, beginning with the astral, causal, and mental planes.
Onec indicated a belief reincarnation and karma and accepted the idea of coming to Earth to balance her personal karma.
Her account included a variety of Galaxy-wide problems, including claims of significant habitation of all of the planets of the solar system and assertions of conditions existing on these planets that contradict the repeated observations of various space probes. Indeed, some scientists, researchers like former NASA consultant Richard Hoagland and former astronauts claim that publicly released photos taken of space and planets have been censored, to delete commonplace UFOs, other various structures on planets created by alien civilizations, which include evidence of underground dwellings. To also help defend the account, claims were also made that inhabitants resided on something other than the physical plane of existence.

Something big is going on at Giza, and the internet is on fire with speculation about it.
The internet is abuzz with the news about new findings in the Great Pyramid on Egypt's Giza Plateau.
It has been reported that strange markings have been found inside what many of the news reports have been calling a "secret tunnel".
True to form, the news media is either hyperbolizing, or they just plain got the facts wrong. The tunnel is has not been a secret for a number of years. The secret has been what is in the tunnel, and where it leads.
There is, however, a mystery involved here. The mystery involves some strange hieroglyphic-type markings found inside the tunnel. They are done in red paint, and are found on the floor of the tunnel and on the walls.
Not accessible to the human frame as yet, the tunnel was explored by a robot rover with a camera mounted on it. Using the remote controlled robot, the archeologists were able to determine the tunnel runs for some distance and ends at what appears to be another door. It is one of four known secret tunnels that lead from the "King's Chamber" and the "Queen's Chamber". The purpose of the tunnels is not known.
The first big story in this event is that the hieroglyphic-type markings are yet to be understood. It does seem quite odd that these markings were found in a pyramid that the Egyptologists claim was built by Pharaoh Khufu (an Egyptian), and they can read the hieroglyphs found from his time. Yet, they cannot yet decode these hieroglyphs from inside the very pyramid they say he built. These are symbols that do not apparently fit with the system of writing known to Egyptologists as hieroglyphics. This would seem to raise the possibility that while these markings are a language, they are not Egyptian.
Since the tomb of Osiris was found in a "secret" underground tomb just a few yards from the Great Pyramid (the spot marked by the star Deneb in the Cygnus constellation), is it possible the Great Pyramid was built by the Osiris clan and not by Khufu? If so, is it possible the myths about Osiris and his family (Ra, Isis, Thoth, Seth) not being from this planet are true? Perhaps those hieroglyphic-type markings are in the language of Osiris.
The second great mystery in this event is that it comes on the heels of finding the tomb of Osiris in 2010, and the discovery by NASA satellites of a massive collection of buried pyramids on the Giza Plateau.
When the tomb of Osiris was found, several very odd measures were undertaken almost immediately. Dr. Zahi Hawass (Minister of Antiquities) ordered that a wall be constructed around the pyramid complex. This was, ostensibly, to protect the pyramids from being damaged by the public. It has been reported on various internet sites that the U.S. military was there securing the pyramid complex along with Egyptian military.
And then, there is the question of the NASA satellite imaging of the Giza Plateau. Why? It has been done before. We already had pictures from space of the Pyramids. Why now? Why a NASA satellite?
When you line up the discoveries and events, a very interesting picture begins to emerge.
* Tomb of Osiris found
* Sarcophagus of Osiris opened but no concurrent photos of what is inside
* Dr. Hawass says the sarcophagus was empty
* Military called in to secure the site
* Order is given to build a wall around the pyramid complex
* NASA satellite called upon to do high-tech scan of the site
* 17 additional pyramids located in satellite scan
* Hieroglyphic-type markings found in pyramid that hieroglyph experts can't read yet
Certainly, this line-up of events gives the appearance that something big--very big--has been discovered at the Giza Plateau. Not only is it something big, it is something of military importance. Not only is it of military importance, it is very secret.
The line-up of events listed above is not theoretical, nor speculative. Those are genuine events. Yet, the internet is filled with speculation about what has been discovered. One theory being touted is that they have found a stargate. Maybe. Maybe not. Critics of the UFO community tend to ridicule all the speculation. But, when all the facts are not on the table then all speculation is valid. In fact, it is inevitable.
Oh, by the way, the name of the robot that took the photo above is Djedi, and the team working with it is the Djedi Team. Djedi is the name of an ancient Egyptian magician in the days of Khufu. The "d" and the "j" are pronounced together making the pronunciation of the word to be JEDI. You remember the JEDI Knights of Star Wars fame, right?
One thing seems to be certain. Something very big is going on at Giza.

I was alone, very alone with my process until I join here. I did not know anybody who I could talk about how I see the world. I was spending lots of time on researching but could not find any place where the similar people are where I could share and get information.
This blog is to thank you. You have bring us together and you create a possibility to an awaken people to start their spiritual service and learn more. You also create community that may help many people to awake. Universe is very grateful to you. I am sending all to LW members and especially the creators and frequent visitors of this site my best and most loving wishes.

At the earliest of the beginnings, before linear time began here on the Earth, the first people of every landmass knew of the existence of Star Keeper races from other planets. After linear time was anchored here it was important to rulers to be seen as absolute powers thereby negating the reality of the existence of the true founding fathers of the Earth Star planet. Throughout all the millennia of the past, since those early beginning times, people have been repeatedly conditioned to continue to either not believe in the inhabitants of other worlds, or even worse, to believe that they are all malevolent. This brings us into the times of today. The true founding fathers that were here then are still here now.
The governments of today, more so than ever before, are afraid that the people they have been controlling in every country are learning to see through the veils of illusions and are in contact with Star Keeper races. Also they are afraid that these people themselves are Star keepers walking this planet. As a retaliatory means the governments have designed their own websites mirroring misinformation that they are intent on projecting to the Earth people about the reality of other life forms. What better way to continue their control than to cast the illusion of nonexistence of intelligent life existing on other worlds.
The government continues to take credit for technology that is very beneficial, yet it is the Star Keepers of other worlds that have brought it here. Look if you will at the technological breakthrough of the past century. The invention of the computer, the microwave etc. To think that human beings could have been solely responsible for creating these devices is ludicrous. If the people of this world were to learn of those other existences then the governments would loose their control over the people. If that happened the people would realize that they could exist without the governments. The infrastructure that has long existed would collapse. We are speaking of religious, pharmaceutical, banking etc., as well as governmental.
Star Keepers know that people who rely on monetary resources as a means of establishing a better life can become an extinct species. And people have been trained to believe that money and power are everything. Money has always been seen as the one true power here on Earth. It is through the process of scrutinizing websites that the governments learn who knows the truth and who does not, that they are better able to keep abreast of the numbers of people who are part of the collective consciousness in every corner of this world. Also they themselves are keeping better informed as to upcoming events. Take for example the emergence of the mother ship in October of 2007; the Star Keepers' Contactees here on Earth were made aware of her emergence well in advance. The powers that be used that information to tighten their security grid. They didn't keep this event from taking place, the ship simply remained cloaked.
Many avenues have been tried politically to coerce people into not being participants of truth. Why else would the constitution of the United States have a rider attached to it clearly stating that any man or woman who is in contact with aliens is subject to immediate imprisonment? The U.S. is not the only country with stipulations of this sort.
The more people turn away from religions and embrace, explore and understand Spirituality, the more of a threat they are perceived to be by the governments. It is only with the immersion of a person into their Spiritual nature that truths can be revealed to them. In their own way, these people are being the separation of the wheat from the chaff and becoming their own wheat, where once they had been chaff.
Knowledge is not in this sense a dangerous venue for freedom; it is however a catalyst for change.
Yes, the governments are aware of the Star Keepers' existence; ultimately the Star Keepers will win the battle for the peoples' freedom and peace. The governments all know that this battle is being fought through the mind, but it is for the mind. In other words you are currently in the middle of world war three. If the people in this world had not always been so submissive to all that world governments had told them and had instead used their own intuition to learn what is truth and what isn't, this world wouldn't be in the mess it is today. Of course, that would require self-work and dedication.
So, what governments are researching these types of websites? Most of them. There are think tanks, secret governments behind the governments, scientists and others that are dedicated to this task alone. They do it in an effort to find any weak spots, any information being revealed to the public that is in direct contradiction to what the governments want the people to believe. When governments first started researching these websites years ago there was an air of arrogance, an air of impunity about their browsing the websites, almost as if it was a bad joke. Today there is a distinct air of desperation that permeates these men and women while they are intent in their quest of scrutinizing these information sites. They have discovered that they cannot hurl false accusations against these peoples' websites; they cannot ridicule, badger or destroy these peoples' truths because the people just keep going and going and refuse to give up. In a Spiritual sense, these same Souls who have been reincarnating here over and over again trying to make a difference are no longer standing alone. It is a cumulative effort that is part of the collective consciousness that is defeating the beast at its own game.
Governments also are aware of the plethora of ships in the air, especially those ships that are intentionally allowing themselves to be seen. World leaders are more afraid than ever before about what will happen to they, themselves, once the ships actually land and begin the process of reformatting a new infrastructure on this planet with the true people of the planet. At that time there will be no room left, no place to hide, where the dark rulers will not be found. So the governments keep on reading and researching. There is irony here though, so many men and women assigned to this investigation are in turn realizing the truth and sharing what they know. At this time they are doing so in secret; only speaking with others who will listen. Many of these people we are speaking about who are learning the truth in their investigations are now fighting the battle from the inside.
All governments keep stats on people who are aware, who are ready and willing to break the backbone of deceit. So who are the clear channels of information? The governments? Religious leaders? No. Most of those in politics and religion are as deluded today as the original progenitors of the Illuminati wanted them to be. In attempts to continue debunking air ship sightings etc., they scan websites to learn more about public sentiment concerning these events, because their tried and true methodology is to seek out the people who follow the path of least resistance. These people have always been the easiest marks for governmental bodies to control. This will not last much longer; the people are coming to their senses.
The incongruity here is that those who were peering out through the looking glass at the people are now having the tables turned on them. The people are looking back.
Salude… Celest and David

I know a lot of lightworkers are spacewatchers too. Spaceweather.com and all it's links are fascinating. I love the SDO site as well.
SO I am sure you noticed the article about asteroid 2011 MD. Me too, it made my inquisitiveness tingle. There is the chart that shows "Recent and Upcoming Earth-asteroid encounters." So, there in darker red is this 2011MD. Says it will pass roughly .05 AU on June 27.
Like I said, I was interested. If you click on the 2011MD it opens the Jet Propulsion Lab Small-body database. It takes awhile for the javascript 3d business to load. I got to looking at the numbers below. Easy now, I do believe this may be a little bit of "a little knowledge is dangerous" type situation.
Yesterday, spaceweather showed the estimated size to be 13m. Today it went to 10m then back up to 11m.
See this thing has only been on the radar, so to speak, since the 22nd a little more than three days. So the data is harder to cull through and all. I recognize that a lot of this stuff is "best guess" scenario. Under "Obit determination parameters" we can see "first obs used" and "second obs used." You with me? Its understandable that the best guess would change as more data is observed.
NOW, there is also a number down in there that is called the Earth MOID (minimum orbital intersection distance). As I type that value is .000574978 AU. Yesterday it was .000574994AU, I wrote it down as I did my conversions.
WHICH is where you come in, if you've hung in this long. Check my math, please. I need a reality check from someone of a like mind. One AU is 384,401km (what I used anyway). I got used to all these digits in my space-time studies. All the best time-mongers exploit these orders of magnitude.
+++UPDATE, I figured out where I miscalculated. One AU is NOT equal to 1 lunar distance which is what I used. BUT I'll leave this blog up to "count"+++
To the chalkboard: Earth MOID of .000574978 AU times 384,401km/AU and...I get roughly 221km. What, is that about a hundred and forty miles?
Questions: How come it's only been on the radar for the three days? How does spaceweather determine closest pass to earth? Is MOID just the closest point the orbits come? Or the bodies? Don't I wish I knew more on the subject...
Crazyfun questions: Could it be something besides an asteroid? Is it Jesus on a cosmic surfboard? A starship filled with some intergalactic peace corps? Elenin? Niburu? OUR own future spaceship come back to garnish collectibles before the cataclysm?

The reason for this blog post is an attempt to find people that may not only find this information interesting, but that may also see the merit in this information enough to help with our present and future endeavors. With that in mind, thank you in advance for your time and energy. After all, we are of the belief that this information has come to us from the stars.
Contained herein are three pages attempting to relay information that can allow one to see the "big picture", according to the meanings behind the signs and symbols that were used to found America. Even more pertinent to the present, are the actions and thoughts that followed the establishment of the "Republic of Republics".
When "founding fathers" such as Benjamin Franklin and George Washington left their mark upon America, it was with earnest intent and purposeful design. When Dr. Benjamin Rush (1745-1813) made the statement, "men should be convinced that their lives are not their own, and it was possible to convert men into republican machines," in essence, a negative blueprint was created for the growth of government and the "psy-ops" to come.
While most people are not aware of even the basic details on the development of American History and its contextual governments, if we study briefly selected Presidential slogans, we can summarize the "National Psychology" of what has evolved after Reconstruction:
...Square Deal
Making the World Safe for Democracy
A Chicken in Every Pot; A Car in Every Garage
New Deal
The Great Society...
If we now highlight and summarize some important events that are related to the formation of America, then we can tie into Reconstruction.
Circa 1610 King James Bible widely uses the additional letter added to the English Alphabet, " J "
26 letters in alphabet 6 groups of 9 learned men from Cambridge, Oxford, and Westminster, work on the vernacular translation.
Early 1700's - Oldest Illustration in Speculative Freemasonry (the Hermetic Way Part 1 Page 3)-
The scan is on the website, www.t-o-o-l-s.net, and shows, symbolically, the "Learned Men" of England handing the King a parchment/scroll with the word constitution on it. At the center bottom, the 47th Problem of Euclid is shown, also known as the Carpenter's/Pythagorean Theorem. If we start from the simplest point of teaching parables, it is called 47'ology.
In a nutshell, it is the knowledge of Enoch. If we go into the King James Bible and go to the Book of Nehemiah, Chapter 8 (1-8) ...the reteaching of the Law upon the return of the Israelites from the Persian Captivity.
1. And all the people gathered themselves together as one man into the street that was before the water gate; and they spake unto Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded to Israel.
8. So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading.
The English Alphabet was crafted to be the Language of the "New Ordered World" using these Enochian Principles. The mind operates upon mirrors and reflection, and the body is "wired" to work that way as well.
There is science behind the miracles, and that should in no way diminish the miracle, provided we maintain balance. After all, what Science attempts to quantify and qualify existed long before "Science" itself. A=1, B=2, C=3,...Z=26
The body carved in stone in Egypt is on a 4x8 rectangle and is representation of the Golden Ratio, or phi (1.618), that allows "squared" architecture, and the ancient wonders of the world. Look closely at the "learned man" handing the King the "Constitution," they will see upon his leg a garter that has the symbol for "phi" upon it.
Though esoteric groups in history mainly sought to keep this "blueprint" and "master-key" data hidden within their walls, an amazing thing has occurred. This information is in our genetic heritage, and in fact it has come to us by dreams, meditation, prayer, and vision. It is a part of many peoples' genetic heritage, and exists in "ordained form"(America). People are becoming aware of bits and pieces of the "big picture," though parts they see are often the shadow of the wagging tail.
New York (Tammany Hall c.1790's) would lead the way in government by practicing old graft, setting the example for administrations to follow. With New York acting much the way as Old York, we can consider more fully some connected events.
Original 13th Amendment-- Introduced 1808. Same year that women in New Jersey lose the right to vote. In essence, attorneys that were oath bound to the International Bar Association out of London, and possibly Freemasons and other secret groups, would have lost the right to hold public office and receive emoluments for duties performed.
War of 1812 sees the District of Columbia burned and records lost.
1814 -- Union of the Scottish and York Right Lodges.
Compromise of 1820 actually puts the country more on the road to the Civil War in its scale, while New York City Municipality practices social engineering while terraforming and urbanizing Manhattan.
In America, as time wore on, the call of "Go West, young man!" would provide a void of primarily 2nd, 3rd, 4th born etc., to head toward their "Manifest Destiny." Another Horace, this one Mann, would provide the system of public education for Massachusetts. The teaching techniques were that of Prussian Seminaries, and the reality was that this system separated knowledge into different subjects, and often failed to connect information in relative ways. The result conditioned the reasoning ability of the average American pupil, and increased fervent patriotism/nationalism. A lesson replaying itself throughout the civilized world.
...Square Deal/Making the World Safe for Democracy/Chicken in Every Pot & Car for Every Garage
The insular cases in the late 1800's and early 1900's allowed laws to be placed on the books and upheld in cases where it should not have been. The result was an "ultra-constitutional" layer of government, bureaucracy, tort action, etc., built on decades if not centuries of other "u-c" layers. Basically as Judge Harlan Black, who was seated in the Compromise of 1876, said in the case (Downes v. Bidwell c.1901), "In essence the idea prevails at the bar, that we have two forms of government. One bound by the constitution, and one allowed to operate outside of it." He also stated that if this idea took root, that it would be an evil day for our republic."
Early 1900's New Jersey Government sterilizes "undesirables," paving the way for Eugenics to come. American investment in England compels Wilson to act as a belligerent nation. It was "Too big to fail" in an earlier form. The result, the whole "global economy" just about failed, and this allowed even greater measures to be taken in the name of "Governance."
1913-1919 Federal Reserve Act to Tubal Abortions, Prohibition & Third International Labor Movement. We are aware that the "Red Mass" came to America in 1928, just in time for the Great Depression, and we recognize the role of the alchemist in the formation of religion, nations and government, i.e., "The Great Melting Pot." When leaders forget that the 'Chiefest among you shall be as servant to all,' (Mark 10:44) such things of mammon are bound to happen.
The New Deal to the Great Society
Now we are in an era of history where more people have a decent understanding of what has happened since. The New Deal, replete with "court-packing" and a massive increase of "dole", paves the way for The Buck Act of 1940, which provided a "federal transparency" overlaying the several states based on social security districts. The results is a massive expansion of federal government. Wars become policing actions and during the "Great Society," Psy-ops against the American People resulted in even more manipulation of public opinion. Meanwhile, students were taught to be "confident incompetents," and to voice their opinions that were so often manipulated by commercial marketing and use of propaganda techniques a century after the incorporation of the Bill of Rights.
To truly walk the path of a Sovereign, one must understand the Path of the sovereign. This knowledge is what forged the tempered federal republic called America. The Ordained Instrument, the Constitution of the United States, is written around this framework. In the social fabric of time, sports, such as baseball, football, basketball, and numerous others, are fashioned using the Golden Rectangle of the Golden Spiral, so to speak. Children are taught the signs and symbols, yet the meaning behind is not fully revealed or connected. Teamwork between the proverbial "A Team & B Team"'s of the land often succumb to a protocol of procedural due process. Meanwhile "substantive" due process is in most cases repressed through lack of knowledge or guidance. In fact, after FDR and the 1940's, procedural due process is used primarily to grow the bureaucracy. To paraphrase John Stuart Mill, "Governments aren't created, they are grown." Though graft in the garden can be wonderful, graft in politics is another story.
It is what it is, whether or not an individual is aware, there is a simple alpha-numeric code inherent to the English Language that reveals all subjects of knowledge, relative to one "collective subconscious."
This indeed could be the single greatest discovery of the modern era. A way to confirm that which is called "Intelligent Design" and to put Spirit back into School. Please imagine an entire generation of children allowed to learn objectively to better fulfill their potential. We welcome thoughts, suggestions, and any help upon this, and hope that this short write up has connected the dots.
Being grateful to an Almighty God, is to seek the path of balance and wisdom. Thank you so much for taking the Principled Stands that You do. We can be contacted via the email info@t-o-o-l-s.net , and please note, that we know of no other group, organization, etc, to which this has been revealed. There are so many well intentioned groups that have fragments and fractions of the big picture. Just as Federalist Paper #10 warns, they remain divided largely in those factions.
Our system of checks & balances are precariously close to irreversible damage for the foreseeable future. If, We, the People, were truly informed, then we could have the opportunity to teach our children with Spirit in the Classroom. Showing an "Intelligent Design" that balances the concepts of Evolution, while no longer skewed by non-parable seeing aspects of literal Creationism. The resulting balance could indeed lead to greater understanding and wisdom for all of humanity and its constitution.
Thank you very much for your time and it is our humbly hope that this information may be of some merit.

Sea turtles, pigeons and honeybees are among the animals that have an incredibly useful skill we don't possess – they can sense the Earth's magnetic fields with their bodies.
But perhaps our magnetovision is just latent – when a light-sensitive protein was transferred from humans to fruit flies, the insects adopted the protein for their own magnetovision.
Steven Reppert of the University of Massachusetts in Worcester and his colleagues study cryptochromes – light-sensitive proteins that regulate the circadian clocks of many creatures. Reppert knew that cryptochromes also help fruit flies and birds sense the Earth's magnetic fields, and he wanted to see whether human cryptochromes could do the same thing. To find out Reppert replaced those found in fruit flies with a human version, hCRY2, which is found in the retina.
The mutant flies were trained to associate a sugar reward with a magnetic field. When given the option to fly down either a magnetised or non-magnetised arm of a maze they opted for the magnetised one. Flies genetically engineered to lack cryptochrome altogether were indifferent to the magnetic field in one arm and were evenly distributed down both arms of the maze. Apparently, fruit flies have no problem using human cryptochrome to sense magnetic fields, which implies humans have the hardware to do the same, but for some reason do not activate the ability, says Reppert.
Klaus Schulten of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, who was not involved in the study, is surprised by the results. But he does not expect future research to reveal we have a hidden superpower. "If we could sense the Earth's magnetic field we probably would know about it by now," he says.

When we meditate or use our powers of perception, we call on more than just a brain.
How does the animated meat inside our heads produce the rich life of the mind? Why is it that when we reflect or meditate we have all manner of sensations and thoughts but never feel neurons firing?
It's called the "hard problem", and it's a problem the physician, philosopher and author Raymond Tallis believes we have lost sight of – with potentially disastrous results.
In his new book, Aping Mankind – about which he was talking this week at the British Academy – he describes the cultural disease that afflicts us when we assume that we are nothing but a bunch of neurons.
Neuromania arises from the doctrine that consciousness is the same as brain activity or, to be slightly more sophisticated, that consciousness is just the way that we experience brain activity.
If you think the brain is a machine then you are committed to saying that composing a sublime poem is as involuntary an activity as having an epileptic fit. You will issue press releases announcing "the discovery of love" or "the seat of creativity", stapled to images of the brain with blobs helpfully highlighted in red or blue, that journalists reproduce like medieval acolytes parroting the missives of popes. You will start to assume that the humanities are really branches of biology in an immature form.
What is astonishing about this rampant reductionism is that it is based on a conceptual muddle that is readily unpicked. Sure, you need a brain to be alive, but to be human is not to be a brain. Think of it this way: you need legs to walk, but you'd never say that your legs are walking.
The same conflation can be exposed in a more complex way by reflecting on the phenomenon of perception. It is what we do every moment of the waking day. You're doing it right now: casting an eye to the paper in front of you and seeing words on a page. But if you were just a brain, you would not see words. There'd be just the gentle buzz of neuronal activity in the intracranial darkness.
The distinguished evolutionary psychologist Robin Dunbar acted as interlocutor to Tallis at the British Academy event. He didn't want to pick a fight, though he was clearly not going along with the attack. Surely this is just the way science works, he asked? We begin with simple levels of explanation and then proceed to more complex ones, working from the bottom up. Well, responded Tallis with his customary quick wit: "If you go bottom up, it's important to go up the right bottom."
Tallis did not think that better scanners and more sophisticated analysis would solve the problem either. Even if neuroscience one day tracks every single neuron firing in real time, you won't be watching consciousness. You'll have more precise correlations to play with, yes. But people will still experience pain and say "Ouch!", not "Oh, no worries: it's just neuron cluster 148 lighting up."
So why can't consciousness be thought of as just the way we experience brain activity, Dunbar continued? Because that's dishonest, Tallis retorted. Inside that innocent-sounding sentence, you have smuggled those two little words "we experience". And that's the entire problem: how do we experience?
Tallis doesn't claim to know. He described himself as an "ontological agnostic", the nature of consciousness being a tremendous mystery. "We just don't know how we should think about being and how mind fits into nature. But we'll never learn if we start out taking all the wrong paths."

Fort Calhoun near Omaha, Nebraska
"On June 6, 2011, the Fort Calhoun pressurized water nuclear reactor 20 miles north of Omaha, Nebraska entered emergency status due to imminent flooding from the Missouri River. A day later, there was an electrical fire requiring plant evacuation.
Then, on June 8th, NRC event reports confirmed the fire resulted in the loss of cooling for the reactor's spent fuel pool. The discussion includes specific details of the technical failures at Fort Calhoun, the risks of coolant loss at overcrowded "spent" fuel pools, and the national hazards of nuclear facilities along the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers, and other water sites during the current period of floods and climate change."
I may or may not post the other parts to this, as it was exceedingly strenuous on my comp for some reason, I guess because of all the overlays and whatnot I added. Incase I don't post the rest, here is the link to watch it on youtube:

Officials in Britain and the United States are preparing to make controlled power cuts to their national electricity supplies in response to a warning of a possible powerful solar storm hitting the Earth.
In an interview with The Independent, Thomas Bogdan, director of the US Space Weather Prediction Centre, said that controlled power "outages" will protect the National Electricity Grids against damage which could take months or even years to repair should a large solar storm collide with the Earth without any precautions being taken.
Dr Bogdan is in close discussions with scientists in the UK Met Office to set up a second space weather prediction centre in Britain to co-ordinate a global response to a threat viewed seriously by both the US and UK governments. One topic of discussion is how to protect national electricity grids from the immense power surges caused by the geomagnetic storms which happen when highly energetic solar particles collide with the Earth's magnetic field.
The most vulnerable parts of the grid are the hundreds of transformers connected to power lines many miles long that can experience sudden current surges during a geomagnetic solar storm, Dr Bogdan said. "It points to a potential scenario where large parts of either North America or northern Europe may be without power from between days or weeks, to perhaps months and, in extreme cases, there are estimates that it could last years," Dr Bogdan said.
The aim of the joint US-UK collaboration is to improve solar weather forecasting to a point where it is possible to warn power companies of an imminent storm. There is a feeling that if a "category 5" solar storm – the biggest of the five categories – were to be predicted, then taking the grid off-line before it is due to hit Earth and letting the storm pass would be better than trying to keep things running, he said.
In 1989, a solar geomagentic storm knocked out the electricity grid across large parts of Canada. The loss cascaded across the United States and caused power problems as far away as California. The greatest fear is a massive storm as big as the one documented by astronomer Richard Carrington in 1859, which burnt out telegraph wires.
"The sort of storms capable of doing that are fairly rare events. We refer to them as 'black swans'," Dr Bogdan said. "If the Carrington event occurred today, and power grid operators did not take efforts to safeguard their infrastructure, then we could be facing a scenario like that."

Researchers claim to have produced sought-after quantum effect.
A team of physicists is claiming to have coaxed sparks from the vacuum of empty space.
If verified, the finding would be one of the most unusual experimental proofs of quantum mechanics in recent years and "a significant milestone", says John Pendry, a theoretical physicist at Imperial College London who was not involved in the study.
The researchers, based at the Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden, will present their findings early next week at a workshop in Padua, Italy. They have already posted a paper on the popular pre-print server arXiv.org, but have declined to talk to reporters because the work has not yet been peer-reviewed. High-profile journals, including Nature, discourage researchers from talking to the press until their findings are ready for publication.
Nevertheless, scientists not directly connected with the group say that the result is impressive. "It is a major development," says Federico Capasso, an experimental physicist at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, who has worked on similar quantum effects.
At the heart of the experiment is one of the weirdest, and most important, tenets of quantum mechanics: the principle that empty space is anything but. Quantum theory predicts that a vacuum is actually a writhing foam of particles flitting in and out of existence.
The existence of these particles is so fleeting that they are often described as virtual, yet they can have tangible effects. For example, if two mirrors are placed extremely close together, the kinds of virtual light particles, or photons, that can exist between them can be limited. The limit means that more virtual photons exist outside the mirrors than between them, creating a force that pushes the plates together. This 'Casimir force' is strong enough at short distances for scientists to physically measure it.
From virtual to real
For decades, theorists have predicted that a similar effect can be produced in a single mirror that is moving very quickly. According to theory, a mirror can absorb energy from virtual photons onto its surface and then re-emit that energy as real photons. The effect only works when the mirror is moving through a vacuum at nearly the speed of light — which is almost impossible for everyday mechanical devices.
Per Delsing, a physicist at the Chalmers University of Technology, and his colleagues circumvented this problem using a piece of quantum electronics known as a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID), which is extraordinarily sensitive to magnetic fields.
The team fashioned a superconducting circuit in which the SQUID effectively acted as a mirror. Passing a magnetic field through the SQUID moved the mirror slightly, and switching the direction of magnetic field several billion times per second caused it to 'wiggle' at around 5% the speed of light, a speed great enough to see the effect.
The result was a shower of microwave photons shaken loose from the vacuum, the team claims. The group's analysis shows that the frequency of the photons was roughly half the frequency at which they wiggled the mirror — as was predicted by quantum theory.
Capasso calls the experiment "very clever". He doubts that the effect has any practical use because it doesn't generate large numbers of photons, but he considers it a nice demonstration of quantum mechanics. He still hopes to see a moving piece of metal generate detectable light from the vacuum, and believes that micromechanical systems may eventually be able to reach such speeds.
Pendry says that the result, if it stands up, is bound to generate excitement. "Work in this area stirs considerable passion in the breasts of physicists."

I really think it's time that the creators of this site really take time out and start to make this website safe, i believe in the chatrooms there does need to be moderators and i feel it needs to be people who are very very experienced in their spiritual growth and understanding others .I actually left the chatroom last night because it was so intense and found the energy soooo negitive .. i dont feel that this is as a safe place for people who are going through spiritual growth. I feel this site needs to be looked after better and there needs to be more of a interest in the chatrooms because even if there is only positive and negitive,there is still right and wrong!! and these boundries are being crossed, yes this is a spiritual sight but spirituality is meant to enhance ones life not add negitvity to it..
please if you are trully interested in spiritual enligtenment then how would be the time to enlighten this chatroom.
There are alot of great people in these chatrooms who are experienced but there are others who claim claim claim. Growth to spirituality is in the spiritual world but it is also within this world .. balance is the key to any kind of enlightenment.
please do something bout this because i will not be putting this site forward to anyone until this has been changed..
peace ,love and light

Here are some interesting developments after Inelia’s initial introduction of herself and her mission.
Some questions arose from readers about Inelia’s history, particularly her involvement with Scientology. In the face of them, I and the readers took three courses of action – constructively but in the name of due diligence. First, we read everything on Inelia we could find.
Second, we asked Inelia to clarify some matters and her answers were very reassuring. Her willingness to discuss all matters asked of her in an open and transparent manner was as reassuring as the answers themselves. I reproduce some of those answers below.
Third, we asked Suzy Ward to ask Hatonn for his opinion. Apparently others had been sending Suzy links to the video too. Here is Suzy’s response:
“Steve, I’ve just watched the almost two-hour video of Bill Ryan interviewing Inelia Benz. I hadn’t intended to — I’m immersed in two big projects – but obviously I was meant to since emails kept coming about this until I ‘got it’ and let Hatonn know.
Right at the get-go he said he knows about this soul by her ‘universal name’ that’s not pronounceable in any of our languages and he has highest esteem for her – he said ‘her’ because of her incarnation but she’s androgynous and one of the most highly evolved souls he knows.
“My reaction pales beside his, but anyway I’ll tell you that I felt the whole time as if she and I were one — it was interesting!
“Blessings…Suzy”
********************************************************************************************************
For those who have not yet watched the video, here it is. Those rushed for time may wish to start at the 34-minute mark.
*******************************************************************************************************
No one likes being misled by someone making very large claims and we’ve been misled more times in the past than we might like (or like to admit). I particularly was conned once by a man claiming to be a purnavatar (full and complete Incarnation of God) and by a channelled ascended master. I still smart from those experiences. So I am very happy to hear that Hatonn has such high regard for Inelia. I feel able to relax on the subject. I’m not going to get a rude shock tomorrow. Life is good again.
*******************************************************************************************************
This email arrived from Mike Quinsey, channel for SaLuSa, after this article was written. I insert it here:
“Hi Friends,
“Through Russ Michael/Steve Beckow I have received a video with Inelia Benz talking with Project Avalon’s Bill Ryan, for approximately one hour and three quarters. The youtube link is given below, along with Inelia’s blog.
“For me it is the most important one I have ever heard, and it helps explain what is behind our experiences in duality. I feel that for people who are ready for it, it is essential that they have an opportunity to listen to it. It is most revealing and greatly uplifting to learn from Inelia that our future is assured.
“In Love and Light. Mike Quinsey.
“http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=feZqzZUV19w#at=390
“Inelia’s blog is http://ascension101.com/ascension-tools.html
******************************************************************************************************
I reproduce some of what Inelia said in response to questions about her past. Her responses are open, honest, and reassuring.
The first question concerned the story she told about the remote control melting. Elsewhere on the Net she retells it as if it someone else melted it. We asked Inelia about this seeming contradiction and she replied:
“Ah yes :) The wording was chosen very carefully. As you can see. ‘I’ve also had the experience of someone melting the circuitry inside a tv remote and an answering machine.’ That someone was me. The words were chosen like this because I had not been asked to go public about my work or abilities at the time. As a matter of fact, the answering machine was me too :)
“This particular incident happened when I called a friend in the USA, I was in Spain at the time, and, unbeknown to me, he had an old tape machine in his place. I do not like to leave messages on these machines, so when I heard it come on I immediately reacted.
“I later learned that when he got home, and saw the tape, he immediately knew it had been me who called and melted the tape. I, of course, apologized and offered to buy him a new tape.”
That’s fair enough. We’ve all done that at one point or another. Now a question arose with regard to what one reader called “television addiction” after Inelia said she watched TV.
“I am fascinated by human creations, both in the larger scale of physical creations, such as cities, technology, even highways, I watch in awe at it all. Some TV shows and films, such as Avatar for example, are works of art. When I get hooked on one of the fantastic creations, there’s no unplugging me from it.
“However, I do not watch negative shows, newscasts or such like programs. I also love music, and this too has been taken and bastardized by the elite in the main stream media. Of course, some artists do manage to keep their creations pure, and those are true warriors of light.”
Again, fair enough. That makes sense. A third question was about the Scientologists’ notion of being “clear.” A reader wanted to know how Inelia could have memories of other incarnations if she was “clear” and had no previous incarnations. I actually know, as Inelia does, that “clear” means having no case but considered it better that Inelia answer the question. She replied:
“No, this is not correct. The word ‘clear’ is not fully defined and many, even within the different branches of scientology, have different interpretations for it, but it is understood to be someone with no ‘case.’ It has nothing to do with previous incarnations. Parallels timelines are a whole different kettle of fish, not related to incarnations.”
I accept that I do not know about parallel timelines, but that they are different to incarnations. I also accept that Inelia had “no case” and not that she was saying she had “no memories from no previous incarnations.”
A fourth question was that going from Buddhism into Scientology suggested instability. Buddhism is a spiritual practice; Scientology is a cult. It would seem to be backward movement. Keeping in mind that Inelia has needed to learn about the human condition, not having incarnated as one before, she responded:
“I would say it does not. Buddhism is a very powerful teaching, and there are thousands of Buddhist sects and schools out there, most have much to offer. And some cults too, yes. I went into both wanting to learn about the human condition. With the Buddhist practice I did, I received much benefit and huge amounts of support in my mission.
“With Scientology, I knew there was something there, that they were able to affect people deeply, and wanted to know how they did it. But when I first went into that building, I had no idea how dark the organization was. One of the reasons is that at the shop front end, they have lightworkers (trapped and enslaved, but this is not apparent at first glance). It was a most educational experience. “
I should add that Werner Erhard also attended Scientology to learn about Hubbard’s notion of the engram, which subsequently was melded into Werner’s notion of a “record.” Scientology does have some useful information, whether or not there are many regrettable aspects to the organization itself.
The next question was why she appeared to jump from cult to cult, why she needed to go to Scientology in person instead of remotely viewing. I’m deleting a part of this question because it concerns people other than Inelia and I don’t have the sense that they, unlike Inelia, have agreed to become public personalities. Inelia replies:
“Most Buddhist sects are not cults.
“I am in a physical human body, just like you. What I can do remotely is limited. Never have I said that I knew how the human, or the human collective, works. In fact, this has been a huge, long and painful journey for me, well worth it though. Coming from a non singularity, even the fact that people feel the need to keep their thoughts private was a shocker. My mother had to teach me not to merge with other people’s minds, especially adults, as it was not ‘good manners.’
“And groups, and the need for groups, were a mystery too. Even the need for a “soul mate” has been something completely alien to me.
“My personal learning of the way in which cults operate was very up close and personal (most of my learning has been up close and personal – jump in first, then ask questions later). The first few weeks I was there (at the scientology organisation), it was all very nice as new recruits are not shown the ‘dark side.’
[Portion deleted on other people whose permission I don't have to reprint.]
“For me personally, it gave me a real sense of what is happening on a world wide scale, and how the ‘technology’ developed by the members of the early Scientology group (pre 60s), has been revamped to enslave rather than liberate.”
I’ve thought long and hard about whether I should repeat what Inelia said about Scientology because, by following how they persecuted Werner, I know what that organization is capable of. But in the end I reasoned that Inelia is already up on the Internet participating in the Ex-Scientology forums so her views are known.
The next question was how a highly-evolved being could label groups “cults.” Inelia responded:
“The fact that something is a cult is not a judgment. Cult, like daily jobs and the belief that we have to pay to live in this planet, are simply facts of life at this moment in time. Plus, I never said I was a highly evolved being, I am just a being with a very specific job, which I have not forgotten.
“Just to think of myself as a ‘highly evolved being’ is rather funny. My mission might sound lofty, but it is the mission of millions of others out there too, including you probably. At a higher level, none of this matters, it is true. In Oneness, who we are and what we are doing is completely irrelevant.
“But here, at this flesh and blood level, it is what we have, it is real. Would I stop a rapist from harming a child? Of course! No doubt about it. It is my opinion that in a situation like that those two beings are placed in our path because they want the cycle of abuse stopped.”
I’m going to skip ahead now so as not to draw this out. On one forum Inelia joked about starting a cult, which led to the next question was: was she trying to start a cult? She answers:
“Cults, by default, foster a co-dependent relationship. Something which is part of the old paradigm, the one we are leaving behind. Do they have a role in the world? Yes, there are many people who want to play that game and learn those lessons, but that will be ending within the next 2 generations as souls who want to play low level games go elsewhere as this planet will no longer be compatible with their chosen experience. I personally prefer to empower people to help themselves, and highly discourage people who come to me to be “fixed” because they cannot do it themselves. When this happens, I point them in the right direction, or share a tool that they can use.”
One reader thereafter makes a statement about why she wishes Inelia to answer these questions and Inelia responded:
“I completely understand your care and questioning mind. I do not make claim to be able to help anyone, or affect anyone in any way, either positively or negatively. That happens by itself, or it doesn’t. The proof is in the pudding. The only gift I am willing to claim, and I have plenty of documented proof for its effectiveness, is my ability to inspire and empower others to raise their own vibration and expand their own awareness.
“Not for me to do it for them, but for them to do it for themselves. As to being powerful, so are you. So is everyone. That’s the whole point, the illusion that some are more powerful (able to do) than others, has to be broken, has to be dissolved. Only then can we really walk into the present that we desire. The only difference I see between us is that I was asked to go public, and you were not. If you had been asked, I’m sure you would have too.
“Why? I honestly cannot say. I am thinking that it is because the call to action was needed at a level which would be heard. My entire trajectory, with few exceptions, has been to work with and assist lightworkers and lightwarriors. Often people who have worked their entire lives with no one to support them. I saw it like, lifting them out of the deep mud, giving them some fresh water, a bite to eat and they would jump into the thick of it again. Knowing they were not alone.
“These are the real heroes, the ones who have stayed on the planet incarnation after incarnation, keeping the torch alive. Keeping the light here through very dark times. Most are tired and battle weary. What I am doing is nothing in comparison. Nothing. But hopefully, through putting the message out at a public level, my actions will bring a drink of water and a bite to eat to those who are doing the real job, and facilitate others to raise their own vibration so we can get this place cleaned up. No more mud.”
“Ok, those are my readers questions,” I said in ending. “If you’re willing to supply answers, I’m sure they would be very grateful. Sorry to put you to such trouble.” And she replied:
“No trouble at all. If I can answer something I will, but it will be my reality, which is not necessarily shared by others. I always respect a person’s own reality to disbelieve something they cannot embrace. Their higher self is the ultimate authority about what a person needs to resonate, or not, with at any one time. And, on the same score, it is also their higher self which gives them the goosebumps when they need to take notice of something important.
“Good night Steve, it’s been a pleasure, and I do honour and respect your spirit of investigation.
“Namaste,
“Inelia”
I feel satisfied and the readers who questioned are more or less satisfied (one still feels some reservations about the Scientology connection). I look forward to where Inelia takes her work next.

The Amazonian tribe where nobody has an age and words like 'month' and 'year' don't exist
An Amazonian tribe has been discovered that has no concept of time or dates, scientists said today.
The Amondawa people of Brazil do not even have words for 'time', 'week', 'month' or 'year', said Chris Sinha, of the University of Portsmouth.
He argues that it is the first time scientists have been able to prove time is not a deeply entrenched universal human concept, as previously thought.
Two researchers (left) pose with members of the Amondawa tribe in Brazil. The Amazonian people have no concept of time or dates. The scientists argue that it is the first time they have been able to prove time is not a deeply entrenched universal human concept, as previously thought
Professor Sinha, who reported his findings in the journal Language And Cognition, said: 'For the Amondawa, time does not exist in the same way as it does for us.
'We can now say without doubt that there is at least one language and culture which does not have a concept of time as something that can be measured, counted or talked about in the abstract.
'This doesn't mean that the Amondawa are "people outside time", but they live in a world of events, rather than seeing events as being embedded in time.'
Team members, including linguist Wany Sampaio and anthropologist Vera da Silva Sinha, spent eight weeks with the Amondawa researching how their language conveys concepts like 'next week' or 'last year'.
There were no words for such concepts, only divisions of day and night and rainy and dry seasons. They also found nobody in the community had an age.
Instead, they change their names to reflect their life-stage and position within their society.
For example, a little child will give up their name to a newborn sibling and take on a new one.
One of the University of Portsmouth research team (left) jokes with a child and parent of the Amondawa people. The scientists found the tribe had no words for such concepts as time, only divisions of day and night and rainy and dry seasons.
The Amondawa tribe live in central Rondônia on Brazil's border with Bolivia
Professor Sinha said: 'We have so many metaphors for time and its passing - we think of time as a "thing" - we say "the weekend is nearly gone", "she's coming up to her exams", "I haven't got the time", and so on, and we think such statements are objective, but they aren't.
'We've created these metaphors and they have become the way we think.
'The Amondawa don't talk like this and don't think like this, unless they learn another language.
'For these fortunate people time isn't money, they aren't racing against the clock to complete anything, and nobody is discussing next week or next year; they don't even have words for "week", "month" or "year".
'You could say they enjoy a certain freedom.'
First contacted by the outside world in 1986, the Amondawa continue their traditional way of life, hunting, fishing and growing crops.
But now along with modern trappings such as electricity and television, they have gained the Portuguese language, putting their own language under threat of extinction.
