Moving Into: TOTAL WELLNESS

Mary, thanks for your input below. For some reason, I had thought that
nothing was ever really signed regarding the implementation of the income
tax. Although I have been surrounded by people who were very much involved
with this issue, I personally never got involved and just listened to what
others were telling me. But knowing how sharp you are on these issues, bow
to you on this.

Does anyone have any further input on this issue? Would like to hear it. My
feelings are that this Congress is going to force the issue on a lot of
these things which may or may not be true the way certain elements of the
Republican Party are acting. And, while I very much agree that it is high
time these issues were addressed, what I perceive from this Congress is that
there are many involved who want to see a "theocratic" government in place
to govern what many consider to be "God's Country."

What I also perceive is that some want to see a real showdown over these
issues which would mean a "shoot-out" between the militia and U.S. military
forces. And I hear talk like this in my own community with people going
around making remarks like: "well, if they do this or that we'll just get
our guns out and settle this." And then the next thing you know when this
kind of thing starts martial law is enacted and it's all over.

So, I feel the only way to settle these things are in the courts, but many
of these are rigged also. So, I feel we also have to counter this with
citizen action such as that prescribed by Thomas Greco, Jr. in his book:
"The End of Money and the Future of Civilization." And, what Thomas is for
is small "re-localized communities" much like those envisioned by the
authors of "Gaian Democracies," which we discussed at length a year or so
ago. If we have many small communities linked together with each community
being "self-governing" and based on community currencies, then we have
absolutely no need for big government. If anyone wants to do a large project
where a large sum of money is needed, then these communities can come
together and "aggragate" the sum needed from a group of small communities
that are networked together for this purpose. We just need to begin to
"think differently" about the way in which things are done and exactly who
is going to benefit -- obviously we no longer want it to be the Fed.


And, it would not surprise me at all to see the United States disintegrate
into separate unions with California, Arizona, Nevada and Oregon being one
such union.

Mary Rose, My understanding (and there are tons of references about this, as
you know) is that the income tax was in fact instituted along with the
creation of the Federal Reserve System specifically in order to put the
creation of money into the hands of a private bank, called the FED, so that
the U.S. Government (us) would have to borrow it and pay interest in order
to have money in circulation, instead of just printing and spending it into
the economy as needed. Such a deal! So a mechanism had to be created to
steal that interest money from the citizens and voila! The clearly
unconstitutional tax on citizen's "incomes" which aren't "incomes" at all
but exchange for work done.

So, end the FED! Not that that will save us, but you brought it up. Or at
least globalnetnews-summary did.

It appears that the Paul/Grayson bill might pass to require the first audit
that the FED has ever had.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/11/19/fed-beaten-bill-to-audit_n_364546.h
tml Probably this is just a pretense due to the above the radar recognition
that the FED has never been audited (in spite of bills requiring it having
been proposed for decades). This bears following to see how "they" keep it
from happening while saying it must.

$4.8 trillion - Interest on U.S. debt
Unless lawmakers make big changes, the interest Americans will have to pay
to keep the country running over the next decade will reach unheard of
levels.

By Jeanne Sahadi, CNNMoney.com senior writer Last Updated: November 19,
2009: 1:05 PM ET

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Here's a new way to think about the U.S.
government's epic borrowing: More than half of the $9 trillion in debt that
Uncle Sam is expected to build up over the next decade will be interest.

More than half. In fact, $4.8 trillion.

If that's hard to grasp, here's another way to look at why that's a problem.

In 2015 alone, the estimated interest due - $533 billion - is equal to a
third of the federal income taxes expected to be paid that year, said
Charles Konigsberg, chief budget counsel of the Concord Coalition, a deficit
watchdog group.

On the bright side - such as it is - the record levels of debt issued lately
have paid for stimulus and other rescue programs that prevented the economy
from falling off a cliff. And the money was borrowed at very low rates.

But accumulating any more interest on what the United States owes at this
point is like extreme sport: dangerous.

All the more so because interest rates will rise when private sector
borrowers return to the debt market and compete with the government for
capital. At that point, the country's interest payments could jack up very
fast.

"When interest rates rise even a small amount, the interest payments go up a
lot because of the size of the debt," Konigsberg said.

The Congressional Budget Office, which made the $4.8 trillion forecast,
already baked some increase in rates into the cake. But there is always a
chance those estimates may prove too conservative.

And then it's Vicious Circle 101 - well known to anyone who has gotten too
into hock with Visa and MasterCard.

The country depends heavily on borrowing to fund what it wants to do. But
the more debt it racks up, the more likely it becomes that creditors could
demand a higher interest rate for making new loans to the government.

Higher rates in turn make it harder to pay off the underlying debt because
more and more money is going to pay off interest - money, by the way, which
is also borrowed.

And as more money goes to interest, creditors may become concerned that the
country can't pay down its principal and lawmakers will have less to fund
all the things government is supposed to do.

"[P]olicymakers would be less able to pay for other national spending
priorities and would have less flexibility to deal with unexpected
developments (such as a war or recession). Moreover, rising interest costs
would make the economy more vulnerable to a meltdown in financial markets,"
the CBO wrote in its most recent long-term budget outlook.

So far, that crisis of confidence hasn't happened. And no one can predict
with any certainty whether or when it could occur.

But should it occur, the change could be abrupt.

That's because the government frequently rolls over - or refinances - the
debt it has issued as it comes due.

In other words, when a Treasury bond or note matures, the government must
pay the investor the face value on that debt. In order to do that, the
Treasury borrows money to pay back the investor, which means the debt would
be refinanced at whatever the going interest rates are at the time.

Just how much churn is there? Of late, a fair bit it seems. A Treasury
borrowing advisory committee reported in early November that "approximately
40 percent of the debt will need to be refinanced in less than one year."

Since rates may well stay low over the next year, it's possible that debt
could be refinanced at the same or even lower rates. But that situation
won't last forever.
So what will Washington do?

To help mitigate the potential risk of rising rates, the Treasury has said
it would start increasing the average maturity of the new debt it issues.
That way the debt it refinances in the next couple of years will be locked
in at lower rates for longer periods of time.

And the Obama administration has promised to produce a deficit-reduction
plan that would aim to bring down annual deficits to roughly 3% of GDP over
the next several years, below the 4% to 5% currently projected.

If that happens, the $4.8 trillion in interest payments that CBO estimates
for the next decade could go down if interest rates don't increase as much
as CBO expects.

"There will be less debt outstanding than if we don't get the deficit down.
It may also reduce [the average interest rate on the debt] since less debt
means less pressure on interest rates," said William Gale, co-director of
the Tax Policy Center.

But whether they can do that within a few years of an economic recovery is
another matter. "Even under the president's [2010] budget as evaluated by
the CBO we do not get anywhere close to that," Gale said.

That could mean the president's 2011 budget proposals would have to make a
lot of changes to get closer to the 3% goal. Unpopular changes like tax
hikes and spending cuts.

Budget hawks hope the president will push for a deficit-reduction commission
to come up with ways to cut the deficit and then propose legislation that
lawmakers would only be able to vote for or against. The
reason: There is no political will to make the tough calls. Especially in a
mid-term election year.

Dear Mary Rose:



I have no comment on the content of Barbara Hand Clow's piece on Night Six
of the Galactic Underworld as most of what she says is outside my frame of
reference.  However, I do acknowledge her for having introduced me to the
work of Carl Johan Calleman, whose creative interpretation of the meaning of
the Mayan Calendar is very persuasive.  For this reason I support her
recommendation to see his latest book, The Purposeful Universe.  I am
reading it now.  He begins by taking recent discoveries in physics of a
Central Axis in the Cosmic Microwave Background of the Big Bang to posit a
new theory of creation that is a better explanation of the creation of the
universe than the current Big Bang theory and, most importantly, introduces
the concept of purpose to creation in contrast to the current scientific
preoccupation with randomness.  The concept of purpose is key to
understanding the Mayan Calendar as a description of the purposeful
evolution of life and, in particular, human consciousness towards a positive
development of our species and the world.  I don't necessarily think that
Calleman has got it all right, anymore than Newton, Darwin or Einstein got
it all right--but that's pretty good company to keep, and I do recommend
that your readers take a look at his latest book, The Purposeful Universe,
which is available from Amazon.



Desmond



Desmond, thanks for your comment. I am an admirer of Carl Johan Calleman
also, and will try to get his latest book and review it.  However, I was
just reviewing Dr. Bruce Lipton's CD: "As Above - So Below," which is an
introduction to "fractal evolution" from his perspective, and find the same
message as Calleman's in Bruce's explanation as to how life unfolds from a
biological interpretation.  And, as well I can link both Calleman's and
Lipton's viewpoints to that of  The Dalai Lama's "The Universe in An Atom".
It becomes readily apparent that we are both the Creator and the Created and
what we perceive of as "God" is really the electromagnetic energy field as
revealed by Lawrence Fagg in "The Electromagnetic and the Sacred".

This is pretty - wow - maybe because I haven't kept up with
Mayan Calendar and astrological readings of what's going on lately.
It's complicated, but worth sticking with it to the end. Has interesting
mentions of several books, Michael Calleman's and Dan Brown's latest.

Bottom line: define what small or large breakthrough you had in your
approach to life during this last year, and hold onto it, focus into and
expand on it, and "use it as your lifeboat" during this next year.

But do read the whole thing, (easier if you copy and paste it into a word

Scorpio New Moon: November 16, 2009



The 2009 Scorpio New Moon chart is exceedingly complex and personally
demanding, a genuine get-real-and-be-truthful moment. First of all, the
chart emphasizes healing our emotions because Jupiter (personal expansion),
Chiron (healing), and Neptune (spiritual access) are now all direct in
Aquarius, and the New Moon squares them. This blocks Scorpio's natural
tendency to be secretive, so we may experience revelations. Evocatively,
Uranus in Pisces trines the lunation, so we look for spiritual solutions for
our selves and the world.

Night Six of the Galactic Underworld (1999-2011) just opened on November 8,
which heralds the darkness before the New Dawn. Thus, this New Moon opens
the dark night of the soul. With Obama leading the US during last days of
the Galactic Underworld, isn't it fascinating that Mars (war and aggression)
in the New Moon chart is exactly conjunct his Sun sign (personal integrity)?
How are you doing with your Nobel Peace prize, President Obama?

This New Moon reading suggests we are arrows in arched bows primed to enter
cosmic space. So, we must begin with a brief recap of Day Six of the
Galactic Underworld, which ended November 7. Then we need to look at the
probable effects of the movement into Night Six on November 8, since the
chart for the New Moon in Scorpio actually does not make much sense without
putting it into the context of the Mayan Calendar.

Tlahuizcalpantecuhtli, the lord before the Dawn is the deity of Night Six,
the archetypal force of cosmic renewal. Yohualticitl, the goddess of birth,
was the ruler of Day Six, so now we are living in a world in which the old
ways are falling rapidly away. The powers-that-be will do everything
possible to make it look like everything is all the same, but things are
not. Millions of people following the time-acceleration process have already
greatly changed. So, what did you birth during Day Six-November 15,
2009-November 8, 2009?

During this period, each one of you has made monumental shifts, and you feel
that you will never drop back to the previous level. So, what breakthrough
did you accomplish? You must identify this year's personal leap because it
will be your guide during Night Six. This leap will be your lifeboat, and I
don't care how silly your move forward may seem to be. For example, one
student said his big step was to learn how to putt well in golf! That may
sound like nothing, but consider this: golf is the ultimate multidimensional
game, and the reason most people can't sink the ball in the hole is because
success brings up childhood psychological blocks.

As for me, I discovered how to relax, a truly amazing feat for me! As for
you, maybe like the lion in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, perhaps
you won out over the forces of evil?

During the Day Sixes of the previous Underworlds, we made critical
evolutionary leaps-such as hominids standing up and splitting off from
chimpanzees and apes 6-9 million years ago during the Familial Underworld
(41 million years ago through AD 2011); or mammals developing a bi-lateral
brain 190 million years ago when Pangea broke up into continents during the
Mammalian Underworld (820 million years ago through AD 2011). [See my video,
Exponential Evolution, for more info on Day Sixes over time.]

So, now that we've just completed Day Six of the Galactic, what was your
personal critical leap? During Night Six, chaos will reign in the fractal
realms, and you will need to hold onto whatever special progress you made.
Then you'll be ready to make the great alchemical breakthrough during Day
Seven of the Galactic Underworld-November 3, 2010-October 28, 2011). For
example, on the first drive, the golfer might make a hole-in-one, and I
might open nine dimensions effortlessly just by meditating.

Why do I begin with Chaos Theory? We each need to identify our Day Six
attainments and intentionally hold them within the planetary field. During
Night Six, this field will be in a state of perpetual flux as it rises to
create new space for Day Seven's creative agenda, which is the fruition of
the Galactic Underworld.

For example, with no focus on your own progress, you could crumble into
simpering fear-mongering and screaming idiocy when you go see the
apocalyptic film, 2012. Are you afraid that Planet X, the Dark Star, or
Nibiru is going to smash into Earth, or that the poles will flip? There is
no doubt that the big boys are playing a very nasty game, but you can hold
your place just by not collapsing into fear! The chart for the New Moon in
Scorpio shows you how, so I will read it for guidance on how we can hold to
our true path during Night Six.

Before I read this chart, I have a few comments about events during previous
Night Sixes, since this offers some past experiences that may reemerge now
through November 2, 2010. We need to go way back to Day Six of the Regional
Underworld (103,000 years ago to 2011); this time period was 21,700 to
13,800 years ago, and this was when our ancestors lived in the Global
Maritime Civilization, the global sea-faring culture known as Atlantis in
the collective memory.
Then, when Night Six opened 13,800 years ago, major climate and earth
changes destroyed Atlantis. [See Catastrophobia (2001).] The worst phase of
the multiple cataclysms was 11,500 years ago, when Earth was nearly
destroyed, and films like 2012 will revive these memories in people. During
Night Six (AD 1225-1617) of the 5,125-year-long National Underworld, the
Mongols swept into Europe after the Crusades failed, and Western Europe was
very insecure while the East was rising in power. [See The Mayan Code: Time
Acceleration and Awakening the World Mind.]

In other words, the Night Sixes of the Regional and National Underworlds
were physically cataclysmic, so the Western psyche will fear invasions and
earth changes this year. By realizing that these are past memories, people
can release the emotional aspects of these physical cataclysms during Night
Six of the Galactic Underworld (November 8, 2009 through November 2, 2010).
The probable resonance with past disasters is a big deal for two reasons:
one, apocalyptic fundamentalists are going to try to scare you to death with
things like 2012; and two, there will be a tendency for civilizations to
self-destruct during this next year.

Before getting all freaked out, let's remember that the Galactic Underworld
agenda is to break down the National and Planetary Underworld structures
while we recover lost memories from the Regional Underworld. This process
will open space so that we can leap into enlightenment during the Universal
Underworld in 2011!

So, what am I really saying? I am saying that like the survivors of Atlantis
hanging onto floating debris and washing on shore after the cataclysm, you
must utilize your Day Six fruition fragment as your lifeboat. Yes, Night Six
will feel like the fall of Atlantis for many, so just let it fall by
releasing your emotions and your fear! We must surrender to this release so
that the intuitive Regional brain can be accessed again.

Now looking at our New Moon chart, the aspects to the Sun/Moon in 25 Scorpio
are compelling. Regarding Jupiter, Chiron, and Neptune together in Aquarius,
they were in 25-26 Aquarius during May through July 2009, and I'm sure you
remember that period. We found ourselves plunging into deep inner wounds
(Chiron), while our outer boundaries to the spiritual realms were melting
our identities (Neptune), and we kept on expanding our minds and feelings
(Jupiter).

Many people fragmented this summer as if they were having a schizophrenic
breakdown, yet actually they were merely shivering on the dangerous edge of
enlightenment. This same pressure to grow will come on strong again during
this December, when our spiritual growth will intensify even more to prepare
us for the exact conjunctions of Chiron and Neptune during 2010. This New
Moon in Scorpio, which pushes us into the darkest and most fecund parts of
our consciousness, squares the three planets, so it is a clarion call for
the personal attainment of enlightenment.

Our species is evolving to receive Earth's cosmic consciousness, so during
this critical lunation the cosmic jester, Uranus, is poised to dance on the
game board. Uranus in Pisces trines the New Moon, easily probing Scorpio's
dark caves.

Isn't it amazing that Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol is in the reading public's
mind right now, just as the apocalyptic film, 2012, arrives to scare the
pants off the people on the first Friday the 13th of Night Six? [In The
Mayan Code, I commented that the easiest way to imagine how the Global Elite
pulled off 9/11 is to read Dan Brown's Angels and Demons. Now that I've read
The Lost Symbol, I'd say he hints that the Global Elite knows all about the
Mayan Calendar.

Well, any possibility that the 2012 gang would sweep Calleman's discovery
under the rug just ended with the publication of Calleman's latest book, The
Purposeful Universe: How Quantum Theory and Mayan Cosmology Explain the
Origin and Evolution of Life. It is brilliant, a quantum leap beyond his
previous works, and you must read it right away.]

As for me, I didn't learn anything new about how the Global Elite uses old
bones, lost symbols, and musty feathers to control the world. But I bet the
general public will be surprised to see what their tax dollars pay for in
Washington, DC. Good for you, Dan Brown! I continue to honor you as the
great revealer of secrets for the masses during the Galactic Underworld.
Many people will easily see that Hollywood's timing for the release of 2012
shows that these glittery lizards also play games with old bones and
symbols.

Dan Brown missed only one thing in The Lost Symbol: The symbol on the dollar
is the 13-storied pyramid of the Planetary Underworld (AD 1755-2011) with
the Eye of God at the top and the lowest step dated 1776. The Big Boys have
always attempted to divert the public from the real Mayan Calendar
end-date-October 28, 2011. Now they're going all out for it in 2012, the
Enlightenment Bypass.
Uranus in Pisces trining the New Moon at the opening of this film suggests
that the entertainment moguls have gone too far this time. Then, notice that
Uranus in Pisces is in a Grand Trine-New Moon trine the lunar South Node in
23 Cancer trine Uranus. The South Node always reveals the past influences
that are impacting the current moment, so we can be sure that Hollywood is
serving up old, moldy archetypes. Well, the main developments in esoterica
were during the Planetary Underworld, when the Elite utilized the old
symbols of the 5,125-year National Underworld to control the world.

The global elite uses arcane rituals, astrology, sexual deviance, and
violence to control you, while they debunk all these techniques in the
media. They keep these tools that successfully probe the synchronicity plane
all to themselves. Ironically, you don't need skulls and bones or magic,
just consult time acceleration in Calleman's model! This month will be a
great time to access nature's great clarity and open your hearts. Have a
good laugh at the big boys on the game board being swept away in their own
self-created apocalypse. For example, how are they going to explain the Ft.
Hood military massacre to the people in the armed services?

Saturn in Libra exactly squares Pluto in Capricorn, so now the time has come
to use your consciousness to move beyond the box in 3D. Recapping the
current Saturn/Pluto cycle, which began in 1982/83 when Saturn conjoined
Pluto in late Libra, the world economy was just emerging from a strong
recession. A time of limitation and struggle was finishing, and a prosperous
period began that lasted nineteen to twenty years. Saturn in late Aquarius
came to the first squares to Pluto in late Scorpio in 1993-4, when the great
Uranus/Neptune conjunctions occurred that began a new spiritual awakening
cycle.

Growth became more spiritual, and many people really felt the world was
changing for the better. However, with the opposition of Saturn in Gemini to
Pluto in Sagittarius in 2001/02, the force for growth broke with 9/11 and
optimism came to a halt. During these oppositions, gloomy and fearful
pessimism gripped the American public, so the Bushites duped America into a
battle between East and West.

Regardless of who actually pulled off 9/11, the neo-cons used it to create a
systemic fear program to control the public will. They even invented a new
cabinet based solely on fear, the neo-Nazi "Homeland Security". This
fear-based time lock will not lift until the perpetrators are exposed, so
America has been drowning in a weird backwater during the Galactic
Underworld, while the world moves right along.

Well, not much longer. The exact Saturn-square-Pluto in early
Libra/Capricorn on the day before this New Moon will trigger the exposure of
the economic basis of this whole cycle: the US is being bankrupted by the
war economy that was invented in 1982/83 in order to dominate the East so as
to control the world. This ancient struggle between East and West has been
totally revivified, and this weird turn of events does not make sense
without considering Calleman's analysis of history.

During the 5,125-year National Underworld, nations have been pulled into
struggles between East and West that are generated by the midline-12 degrees
east longitude, the power line of the World Tree. [See The Mayan Calendar:
Transformation of Consciousness by Calleman.] Well, the real truth about the
battle between East and West will be revealed during the first
Saturn-upper-square-Pluto in Libra/Capricorn, and during the second and
third ones in January and August 2010.

The East/West struggle, mostly perpetrated by the West (as can be seen by
who is invading whose territory) has been the wasting force of the National
Underworld for 5,125 years. Since the upper and final Saturn/Pluto squares
all occur during Night Six of the Galactic Underworld, we can be sure that
this great struggle will involve great death, mayhem, and plagues. Night Six
of the National Underworld (AD 1225-1617) began with the end of the Crusades
and the Mongol invasions and was characterized by the Inquisition and many
wars and plagues.

The Western powers adopted constant warfare as a defense, yet it is no
defense. This can be seen by what happened at Ft. Hood as the
Saturn-square-Pluto was building. In the New Moon chart, Mercury in wise
early Sagittarius exactly sextiles Saturn in Libra, which means much new
clarity and intelligence is coming in to loosen these locked-up old
struggles.

Mars and Venus in a tight square are very interesting during this lunation.
Mars in Leo takes risks and wants attention for winning, while Venus in
Scorpio favors deep feminine immersion. Venus in Scorpio has a strong will
when faced with the pride of Mars in Leo, so this suggests personal battles
between male and female partners and a tendency for aggression on the world
stage. But, Venus in Scorpio means the truth will come out, that history
will record who really wins and loses this time.

Remember, the forces of the East tend to dominate the West during the Nights
of the Underworlds, so Venus in Scorpio squaring Mars in Leo may mean the
West backs down dramatically during this lunation. Yet, Mars in Leo is in a
wide opposition to Jupiter in Aquarius, which hints at excess and
grandiosity on the world's stage. The most obvious reading of these aspects
would be that soon the West will have to accept reality as it is, which it
has avoided for a long time. Saturn upper square Pluto announces an economic
reckoning, so the financial collapse of the West is probably what will end
the wars. Perhaps the New Moon's Mars in Leo conjuncting Obama's birth Sun
is a sign of how things will play out?

The point is, you are sovereign now, because we are in a chaos field.
Maintain your truth and integrity while the Knights play out their games on
the chessboard.

Moving Into: TOTAL WELLNESS

Well, I am going to say it again. We can alleviate this situation by
training  communities in how to set up local currencies, raising their own
food in tiered kitchen gardens, creating their own shelters, and
distributing dramatically changed schooling that fits the needs of today via
the computer with the community itself as the classroom. Or, we can sit
around and watch millions of people die of starvation.  The choice is ours.

We need to reclaim agriculture land and plant trees on it in an
unprecedented reforestation effort. Grassy areas everywhere can be replanted
with "edible landscaping," and any place suitable needs to be planted with
hemp so that we have plenty of materials available from which to handcraft
thousands of products so that people are "gainfully employed" and can use
community currencies as a means of exchange.

We need to reprogram out minds to think differently about things -- it does
us no good to try and recreate the Industrial Society by "thinking green" --
we need a total make-over that takes our collective consciousness to another
level.

15 Signs American Society Is Coming Apart at the Seams
http://www.alternet.org/workplace/144109/15_signs_american_society_is_coming
_apart_at_the_seams?page=entire
By David DeGraw, Amped Status. Posted November 21, 2009.

Are we nearing a tipping point as rapacious elites push a heavily armed
populace too far?

Editor's note: The following is an edited excerpt from the Amped Status
report, "The Critical Unraveling of U.S. Society."

The economic elite have launched an attack on the U.S. public and society
is unraveling at an increased rate. You may have missed it in the
mainstream news media, but statistical societal indicators are reading red
across the board. Let's look at the top 15 statistics that prove we are
under attack.

1) The inequality of wealth in the United States is soaring to an
unprecedented level. The U.S. already had the highest inequality of wealth
in the industrialized world prior to the financial crisis. Since the
crisis, which has hit the middle class and poor much harder than the top 1
percent, the gap between the top 1 percent and the remaining 99 percent of
the U.S. population has grown to a record high.

2) As the stock market went over the 10,000 mark and just surged to a
13-month high, the three big banks that took taxpayer money and benefited
the most from the government bailout have just set a new global economic
record by issuing $30 billion in annual bonuses this year, "up 60 percent
from last year." Bloomberg reported: "Goldman Sachs, the most
profitable securities firm in Wall Street history, had a record profit in
the first nine months of this year and set aside $16.7 billion for
compensation expenses." Goldman Sachs is on pace for the best year in the
firm's history, and it is also benefiting by only paying 1 percent in
taxes.

3) The profits of the economic elite are "now underwritten by taxpayers
with $23.7 trillion worth of national wealth."

As the looting is occurring at the top, the U.S. middle class is just
beginning to collapse.

4) Workers between the ages of 55 to 60, who have worked for 20 to 29
years, have lost an average of 25 percent off their 401k. During the same
time period, the wealth of the 400 richest Americans went up by $30
billion, bringing their total combined wealth to $1.57 trillion.

5) Home foreclosure filings "hit a record high in the third quarter (of
2009). They were the worst three months of all time. 937,840 homes
received a foreclosure letter" in this three-month period; "3.4 million
homes are expected to enter foreclosure by year's end, with some experts
estimating that next year will be even worse."

President Obama has enacted a $75 billion taxpayer funded program that has
been a spectacular failure in stemming the foreclosure crisis and has
proven to be another massive waste of billions of taxpayer dollars.

6) 25 million people are unemployed or underemployed.

This means we have 25 million people who urgently need to increase their
income, and they're quickly running out of options. The unemployment rate
is expected to rise further and remain high for several years. "The
president's chief economic adviser warned that the nation's
unemployment rate could stay 'unacceptably high' for years to come."

The New York Times reports: "Americans now confront a job market that is
bleaker than ever in the current recession, and employment prospects are
still getting worse. Job seekers now outnumber openings six to one, the
worst ratio since the government began tracking.." As this ratio
continues to grow, it will lead to a further reduction in wages -- average
worker wages have seen a sharp decline over the past year.

Economist Nouriel Roubini, a man who accurately predicted our current
crisis, just reported on unemployment stating: "Think the worst is over?
Wrong. Conditions in the U.S. labor markets are awful and worsening.. So
we can expect that job losses will continue until the end of 2010 at the
earliest. In other words, if you are unemployed and looking for work and
just waiting for the economy to turn the corner, you had better hunker
down. All the economic numbers suggest this will take a while. The jobs
just are not coming back."

7) As the few elite banks thrive, there have been 123 U.S. bank failures
thus far this year. Recently, three banks that the government declared
"healthy" and gave taxpayer money, have folded. The Wall Street Journal
reports: "U.S. regulators have seized or threatened at least 27 banks
that got capital infusions from the Troubled Asset Relief Program,
including some lenders government officials knew were troubled when they
awarded the money. The troubles put taxpayers at risk of losing as much as
$5.1 billion invested in the banks since TARP was launched in October
2008."

8) As bankruptcies surge across the board, 10 U.S. states are on the verge
of bankruptcy, with several ready to declare a financial state of
emergency. California, Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, Nevada, New
Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island and Wisconsin are all "barreling toward
economic disaster, raising the likelihood of higher taxes, more government
layoffs and deep cuts in services."

9) This is occurring at a time when the "federal budget deficit for the
fiscal year that just ended was $1.4 trillion, nearly a trillion dollars
greater than the year before."  In total, "U.S. public debt topped $12
trillion for the first time in history. The public debt topped $10
trillion in September 2008. The debt is quickly approaching the statutory
limit of $12.104 trillion, meaning Congress would have to raise the ceiling
to prevent a shutdown of government operations."

Economist Dean Baker explains the risk of running such a large deficit:
"The debt limit must be increased at regular intervals in order to allow
the government to function normally because the government is currently
operating at a deficit. If the debt limit is not passed, then at some point
the government will not be able to pay workers and contractors. It won't
be able to send out Social Security checks or make payments for Medicaid
and unemployment insurance to state governments. And, it will not be able
to make interest payments on government bonds, effectively defaulting on
the national debt."

Needless to say, all of this will make life drastically more difficult for
American citizens. As the middle class continues on the path of economic
decline, the number of citizens living in poverty has already hit an
all-time high.

10) Although the government's official figure tries to low-ball the
number, 47.4 million U.S. citizens live in poverty, and the U.S. poverty
rate is the highest in the industrialized world.

Predictably, homelessness is rising at an increased rate as well. "The U.S.
government does not tally the numbers but interested organizations say that
more than 3 million people were homeless at some point over the past
year.. The fastest growing segment of the homeless population is families
with children."

Children have been hit especially hard by the economic crisis:

11) * 50 percent of U.S. children, one out of every two children, will need
to use food stamps to eat.

One out of every two children in the United States of America will need to
use a food stamp. to EAT!

If you didn't think starvation was a serious threat in the U.S., just
read this new Washington Post report: "The nation's economic crisis has
catapulted the number of Americans who lack enough food to the highest
level since the government has been keeping track, according to a new
federal report, which shows that nearly 50 million people - including
almost one child in four - struggled last year to get enough to eat.
Several independent advocates and policy experts on hunger said that they
had been bracing for the latest report to show deepening shortages, but
that they were nevertheless astonished by how much the problem has
worsened. 'This is unthinkable. It's like we are living in a Third World
country,' said Vicki Escarra, president of Feeding America."

The United States Department of Agriculture released these findings in a
study that was completed in December 2008, which means these numbers
don't take into account the millions more unemployed throughout 2009. The
numbers of people living in poverty and struggling to eat has seen a
significant increase since then.

This a national tragedy. But it gets much worse.

12) In 2008, according to the Census Bureau, the number of U.S. citizens
without health care grew to a record 46.3 million. "The new figures,
however, understate the severity of the economic downturn because a large
portion of the nation's job losses and unemployment rate increases
occurred after the Census survey data was collected in March as part of the
annual Current Population Survey."

13) Lack of health insurance has caused 45,000 preventable U.S. citizen
deaths in the past year. The American Journal of Medicine recently released
a study that stated, "Nearly two out of three bankruptcies stem from
medical bills, and even people with health insurance face financial
disaster if they experience a serious illness."

A Johns Hopkins Children's Center study reported that 17,000 children
have died due to lack of health care. You can also add in a recent report
that revealed that 2,266 U.S. veterans have died in 2008 due to lack of
insurance.

The 50 million now uninsured and the 45,000 preventable deaths per year
statistics are expected to drastically rise over the next few years. As the
Senate continues to strip meaningful amendments from a health care bill
that wouldn't even take effect until 2013, it has become clear that,
despite the media hype, the health care bill is going to fall far short of
meaningful reform and continue to rig the game in favor of large insurance
company profits at the expense of the U.S. population. With the highest
cost healthcare in the world, current trends will continue and much needed
change is not on the horizon.

Never before has the United States had so many citizens with so little
means, little to no income and heavy debt. Debt and costs of living have
now shackled U.S. citizens just as they have shackled people throughout the
world. The economic hit men have now hit the United States as well and
millions of American citizens are now effectively sentenced to a slow
death.

Economic Imperial blowback has hit the mainland.

And the clock is ticking louder by the day.

And here's two more facts for you:

14) The gun and ammunition manufacturing industry in the United States has
over 200 companies producing billions of dollars in annual revenues. This
huge manufacturing base cannot fulfill demand quickly enough. The demand
for guns and ammunition has hit a record high and the gun industry cannot
produce enough bullets to keep up with orders.

Americans are arming themselves to the teeth!

15) In the past year, 100 new armed militia groups have been formed, as
militia members have doubled in numbers. Federal authorities are gravely
concerned about the "uptick in militia activities." One federal authority
recently said, "All it's lacking is a spark. I think it's only a
matter of time before you see threats and violence."

So let's break down these numbers.

You have a population of 50 million people who are in desperate need of
money, they most likely have no health insurance and can't afford to get
health care or help of any kind. Part of this population probably also has
loved ones who can't get life sustaining medical treatments, or loved
ones who have already died due to lack of costly medical treatment. The
clock is ticking loud for these people and they are running out of options
fast, and time delayed is time closer to death.

While the richest 1 percent have never had it so good, a significant
percentage of the U.S. population now has firsthand experience in this.
Millions upon millions of Americans are poor, broke, struggling, starving,
desperate. and armed.

We are sitting on a powder keg!

We are now witnessing the critical unraveling of U.S. society.

Subject: [globalnetnews-summary] Tea Partiers including Patriots Turn on
Each Other



Tea Partyers Turn on Each Other
   Published on Friday, November 20, 2009 by Politico.com
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1109/29744.html
by Kenneth P. Vogel

After emerging out of nowhere over the summer as a seemingly potent and
growing political force, the tea party movement has become embroiled in
internal feuding over philosophy, strategy and money and is at risk of
losing its momentum.

[The movement's internal squabbling has some members fearful that it will
disintegrate before realizing its full potential. (Photo: AP)]The
movement's internal squabbling has some members fearful that it will
disintegrate before realizing its full potential. (Photo: AP)
The grass-roots activists driving the movement have become increasingly
divided on such core questions as whether to focus their efforts on shaping
policy debates or elections, work on a local, regional, state or national
level or closely align themselves with the Republican Party, POLITICO found
in interviews with tea party organizers in Washington and across the
country.
Many of these differences date to the movement's beginnings last winter
in an outpouring of anger about the huge increases in government spending
enacted by President Barack Obama and the Democratic Congress. But they
were overshadowed by the initial explosion of activism that culminated
during the congressional town hall meetings in August.

Now the disagreements and the sense of frustration they have engendered
could diminish the movement's potential influence in state and national
politics.

"These groups don't play as well together as they should," said Kevin
Jackson, a St. Louis-based conservative author and activist who has spoken
at dozens of tea party-type rallies and is traveling across the South with
a convoy sponsored by the national Tea Party Patriots group.


"They're fractured at the organization level, I think mainly because
there are a lot of people who have not had managerial experience who all of
a sudden are thrust into the limelight and become intoxicated with it. And
when a potential rift comes up, instead of handling it and maybe agreeing
to disagree, they splinter and go off on their own."

The movement is composed of hundreds of independent local groups, many of
which are incorporated as nonprofits and have localized names referencing
the tea parties, 9/12 or We the People.

Many of their members also belong to national conservative groups,
including FreedomWorks, Americans for Prosperity and Grassfire, while the
local groups often affiliate formally or informally with loose-knit
umbrella organizations, including the Tea Party Patriots and Tea Party
Nation.

The organizational chaos - combined with a widening apathy at the edges
of the movement - has produced a growing consensus among local, state and
national tea party leaders that for the movement to evolve from the loose
conglomeration of fired-up activists who mobilized this summer to register
their dissatisfaction with Obama and Congress at town hall protests and
marches across the country into a sustainable bloc with the power to shape
the GOP and swing elections, it will require the emergence of a national
leader, group or structure.

Ned Ryun, president of American Majority, a nonprofit that has conducted
organizer-training sessions for many tea party activists, said "the next
three to six months" are going to be critical in determining "what's
going to happen with the tea party movement. Are they going to be a bunch
of fingers, or are they going to come together to be a fist?"

Yet, while some tout a planned National Tea Party Convention in February
(at which former Alaska governor and tea party darling Sarah Palin is
listed as the keynote speaker) as a potentially unifying moment and others
point to online coordination efforts, there is deep disagreement about what
any national organization would look like and who would lead it.

FreedomWorks, Americans for Prosperity, Grassfire, Americans for Limited
Government and a host of other groups have helped organize various efforts
capitalizing on the energy behind the tea parties, including providing
training, online war rooms that help generate phone calls and
ready-to-distribute canvassing literature.

But the groups have also jockeyed - mostly behind the scenes - to take
credit for leadership of the movement, which - depending on who's doing
the telling - took its name either as an homage to the 1773 Boston tax
revolt that played a major role in sparking the American Revolution or from
an acronym standing for "taxed enough already."

Some activists see the turmoil within the movement and the internal clashes
as simply a part of maturing.

"Some of these groups may burn out, but this is part of this
entrepreneurial process and the competition is good," said Adam Brandon,
vice president of communications for FreedomWorks, a nonprofit chaired by
former House Majority Leader Dick Armey of Texas.

The group has facilitated some of the efforts demonstrating the potential
power of the movement. Those have included the confrontations that erupted
at congressional town halls this summer, the massive Sept. 12 "Taxpayer
March on Washington" as well as another Washington rally this month and
support for conservative third-party candidate Doug Hoffman, who narrowly
lost a special congressional election in upstate New York this month
despite strong support from many tea party groups and leaders.

Brandon stressed that the strength of the tea party movement is in its
grass-roots nature and that FreedomWorks's goal is to help facilitate the
movement, not to control it.

"One thing that's clear is that anyone who says they own the tea party
movement is going to get run over because no one owns the movement," he
said.

Brandon acknowledged the "rivalries and turf battles" now gripping
parts of the movement but said "that's normal because people have
different ideas about what they want. That's what's happening now, and
it's sometimes a painful process."

Those fights have been waged over issues that go to the heart of the
movement's purpose and strategy as well as more mundane rivalries and
personal feuds.

In Myrtle Beach, S.C., disputes within the local tea party about how much
to engage in partisan politics and whether board members were profiting
from contracts to print paraphernalia emblazoned with the group's logo
prompted the treasurer to resign and join with defectors from a North
Carolina We the People group to form a new organization.





"There's a lot of fighting, and everyone wants to be in charge, and
that's why you have so many splinter groups," said ex-treasurer Janet
Spencer, who charged her adversaries within the tea party with saying
"derogatory things about me that were very unprofessional."

She said her new group, called Patriotic Voices of America/Carolina
Patriots, counts about 100 members and will not coordinate with the Myrtle
Beach Tea Party, whose treasurer, David Ognek, said the friction is "just
group dynamics."

In Texas, a handful of thriving tea party groups severed their ties from
the national Tea Party Patriots group after it ousted, then sued a founding
board member who had affiliated with a rival group called the Tea Party
Express.

"Our fight is in Congress and not with each other or with these other
groups," said Toby Marie Walker, who was the Texas state coordinator for
the Tea Party Patriots and also co-founded the Waco, Texas, tea party.

This Waco group recently drew an estimated 4,000 people to a rally it
organized with the Tea Party Express, which travels the country hosting
rallies. The month before, it had pulled out of the Tea Party Patriots
after the Patriots group accused the Tea Party Express of steering the
movement away from nonpartisan issue-based advocacy, embracing extremist
rhetoric and raising questions about the Express's finances.

The Patriots' attack and lawsuit worried the Waco group's board, Walker
said, because "if you align yourself with someone who is going to be that
malicious, then how do we know they won't turn on us?"
Other local tea party groups, though, cast their lots with the Patriots,
heeding the group's call to disassociate with the Tea Party Express.

In Granbury, Texas, local tea party organizer Josh Sullivan says he
believes the movement's effectiveness is being compromised by
extremism."You have some interesting folks in the Tea Party movement -
some of them I can support, but some of them are kind of out there and
radical, and I don't want to associate myself with them," he said. In
Northern Colorado, meanwhile, a handful of active 9/12 groups - named for
the Glenn Beck-encouraged effort to stage the Sept. 12 Washington march -
are unhappy with the state 9/12 group's aversion to fundraising and with
its focus on national issues and have discussed forming their own rival
statewide group.

"People are beginning to become a little bit de-energized - they're
starting to feel like they're fighting a losing battle, because we send a
lot of letters into Washington, D.C., and things like that, and people are
saying they're not listening," said Brian Britton, who heads the
Greeley, Colo., 9/12 group.

That fear is echoed by Glenn Galls, a Hot Springs, Ark., tea party
organizer frustrated with the focus of Arkansas's state-level tea party
groups on national races and issues such as cap and trade and health care.

"If the tea party movement is going to continue to thrive and to grow and
to have influence," he said, "it must start coming together and
coalescing and finding its purpose in life, because if it doesn't, the
excitement will fade like it does from anything else."

The least we must do

A Jim Bell & Common Sense Commentary - www.jimbell.com



It's as simple as this, all of us, just doing what we do, are destroying our
planet's life- support system.



To be more correct, it's not so much about what we are doing, but about how
we now do it.



Just to survive, we need water and food. We also need energy to live
contemporary lives.



The problem is that the way we now get energy, water and food and most
everything else, is eroding the possibility of having a secure supply of
energy, water and food and the things of modern life, in the future.



What should we do?



The answer is to develop ways to live and make livings that are life-support
sustaining, ways that heal and nourish each other and our planet's
life-support system.



This is the least we must do if we want to leave our descendents the
birthright of a happy, healthy, prosperous, and completely life-support
sustaining world.



The first step toward achieving this goal is to become renewable energy
self-sufficient.



When a home, community, city, county, region, state or country controls its
energy supply and price, it controls its economy, its ways of life, and most
everything else -- no matter what happens to the price and supply of energy
on global and national markets.



Because solar energy in its various forms is free and even delivered free,
there is no cost for fuel to benefit from it. The technologies to save
energy and produce what we can't save do have a cost. But given that our
inventors/developers are still getting better at saving energy and
converting various forms of solar energy into electricity, the price of
efficiency improvements and renewably generated electricity will continue to
fall.



Every level of becoming renewable energy self-sufficient creates
opportunities. In San Diego County, where I live, there is an abundance of
direct sunlight. Additionally, the county has substantial wind, biomass,
ocean current, wave and tidal energy from which electricity can be produced.



But, even if direct sunlight was its only resource, and assuming 40 kWh of
electricity, natural gas and transportation fuels are consumed directly or
indirectly per capita per day, San Diego County could become renewable
energy self-sufficient by increasing energy use efficiency by 40% and
covering 43% of its roofs and parking lots with 15% efficient PV panels.



Economically, becoming renewable energy self-sufficient will increase
countywide economic activity by over $175 billion over a forty year
implementation period and create over 1 million job-years of employment in
the process.



What about cost?



Actually, becoming renewable energy self-sufficient will cost less than
continuing our dependences on imported energy -- especially if we make the
transformation with a little intelligence and grace.



Assuming an average cost of 10 cents per kWh over 40 years, making San Diego
County renewable electricity self-sufficient alone would save the county $24
billion.* Since electricity makes up around 40% of the energy the average
person uses per day, it follows that a renewably energy self-sufficient San
Diego County would save around $60 billion over a 40 year transition period
to renewable energy self-sufficiency. Additionally, the higher the cost that
electricity rises above10 cent per kWh on the open market, the greater the
County's positive the cash-flow and resulting economic multiplier benefit
will be.

.

* For details on this investment strategy, go to  <http://www.jimbell.com/>
www.jimbell.com, click on "Green Papers". Although this paper focuses on
renewable electricity self-sufficiency in San Diego County, the investment
strategies it develops can be used to become renewable energy
self-sufficient for gaseous and liquid fuels as well. Additionally, this
strategy can work almost anywhere on our planet, modified for climate,
renewable energy sources available and other local conditions. With
modifications, it will also work for becoming water and food self-sufficient
as well.



Step two - become renewable water self-sufficient.



Water is essential to life. It is essential to the water rich lifestyle most
people in the developed world already have and that people in the developing
world would like to have.



Using San Diego County as an example, increasing the coverage of its roofs
and parking lots with 15% efficient PV panels by another 5%, or from 43% to
48%, will allow it to become renewable energy and water self-sufficient. The
addition electricity will power reverse osmosis (RO) pumps to force
saltwater against membranes that let freshwater through, but block salt,
other minerals and most pollutants.



Assuming the worst case scenario of zero rainfall and zero imported water,
five percent coverage of San Diego County's roofs and parking lots with 15%
efficient PV panels would make enough electricity to produce 776,000 acre
ft. of water each year. San Diego County now uses around 600,000 acre ft. of
water each year. By installing PV panels over 8% of its roofs and parking
lots, San Diego County could become a substantial water exporter.



Sea life will be protected from RO processing by extracting saltwater to be
used through sand filtration as in extracting saltwater from coastal wells
and through sea bottom sand filtration. Wastewater or brine left over from
the RO process will be evaporated in shallow open ponds so salt and other
minerals left behind can be mined. If any RO wastewater is returned to the
sea, it would have to be diluted by sand filtered salt water to be less than
20% saltier than is natural seawater. As a further precaution, it would be
released into the ocean diffusely.



Step three - become renewable food self-sufficient.



With renewable energy and water self-sufficiency, comes the ability to
become renewable food self-sufficient. It also allows for the growth of a
great deal of the fiber and lumber.



To make this real, it is essential that we protect our agricultural soils
from development and other miss uses. My research indicates that we still
have enough agricultural soil in the world to feed everyone a nutritious
diet of tasty food with lots of variety. With renewable energy powered RO,
this is still true for San Diego County. Unfortunately, neither of these
statements will be true for long, if we do not protect and preserve our best
agricultural soils for life-support sustaining agriculture.



Step four - make a personal decision to be the parent of no more than two
children unless your child dies before reproducing themself. If the world's
population dropped 1% per year, in 100 years it would be down to around 2.5
billion, the world's population in the early 1950s.



Step five - develop a Space Debris Detection and Defense System. We are the
first generations of people who have the technology to locate any earth
orbit crossing space objects we might be threatened by. We also have the
technology to nudge objects large enough to cause serious life-support harm
if they collide with us, into earth safe orbits. We can even capture such
objects in moon and earth orbits for scientific study and to mine for
valuable minerals.



As I said before, if we want to leave the birthright of a happy, healthy,
prosperous life-supporting sustaining future to our young and future
generations, these 5 steps are the minimum we must do, and the sooner the
better.



We've come so far, so why blow it now. We know what to do, some of us know
how to do it. The rest of us can learn. If the living generations, over the
next 60 years or so, develop life-support sustaining economies and ways of
life planet wide, there is little to stop us from colonizing space in our
own galaxy and beyond.



If we don't develop a supporting (symbiotic) relationship with our planet's
life-support system soon, we will follow the footsteps of the great
civilizations of the past that utterly failed at the height of their
greatest achievements because their civilizations had feet of clay. This is
because they were based on the exploitation of others and the unsustainable
use of the life-support system upon which their civilization rested.

Moving Into: TOTAL WELLNESS

What appears to me is that the world economy is going to crash anyway,
pulled down by the stupidity of those involved with the Federal Reserve and
much could have been saved by letting A.I.G. go initially and then picking
up the pieces. But, of course, my opinion comes after the act was done which
isn't much help.

What some feel we need to do is to start from where we are now and attempt
to pick up the pieces; however, as the poem goes: Humpty Dumpty sat on a
wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall, And all the kings horses and all the
kings men couldn't put Humpty Dumpty together again.

So, what to do but start anew! We-the-people need to be able to tell big
government to "get lost" because we really don't need it. By taking charge
of ourselves and creating small sustainable living communities that are
self-governing and include their own monetary system in the form of a local
community currency, and by raising our own food and replanting forests, we
can create a very stable economy based on a derivative of "agroforestry" as
practiced by the Guarani of Eastern Paraguay and, as told by Richard H.
Robbins in his book:  "Global Problems and the Culture of Capitalism,"
Chapter 9, "Indigenous People, Ethnic Groups, and the Nation-State."

As I look at the state of things today, it becomes apparent that we are in a
class and ethnic struggle for dominance, particularly here in the United
States as the pendulum shifts from a mainly all white population to that
which will be mainly Latino by the Year 2030. And here I must go back and
reference the "Kurgan Cattle Culture Consciousness" -- the people who became
known eventually as the "Old Europeans" who mainly rule the world today due
to the sheer power of their wealth. These people  were originally the people
who spread their dominance throughout the world on the back of the world
steer, taking it to six continents while decimating indigenous people who
stood in their path as they sought to dominate the world creating what is
known today as "modernity". They did so in the name of Christianity which
evolved out of Mythraism (the worship of the bull) as they sought to control
the world by bringing it under the auspices of this religious belief system.


But again, as David Ray Griffin writes in "Introduction to Suny Series in
Constructive PostModern Thought": "Modernity," rather than being regarded as
the norm for human society toward which all history has been aiming and into
which all societies should be ushered -- forcibly if necessary -- is instead
increasingly seen as an aberration. A new respect for the wisdom of
traditional societies is growing as we realize that they have endured for
thousands of years, and that, by contrast, the existence of modern society
for even another century seems doubtful."

It must be noted that this line of thought ties in closely with that of
Thomas H. Greco, Jr. in his book: "The End of Money and the Future of
Civilization,' and with that of Roy Madron and John Jopling in "Gaian
Democracies - Redefining Globalisation and People Power." This latter book
was published in 2003 as Number Nine in a series of Schumacher Briefings.
Madron and Joplings book is extremely valuable as it gives us a good look at
the "operational instruments" which the Global Monetocracy (read bankers in
the form of Old Europeans) has used to acquire more and more control over
"we-the-people."

Another very reliable source of information on this is also found in R.
Buckminster Fuller's CRITICAL PATH, and certainly a reading of Jay Earley's
"Transforming Human Culture - Social Evolution and the Planetary Crisis"
should be included in the search for answers as to how we must manage this
"unprecedented in prior human recorded history crisis" with which the human
family is faced today.

What I feel is most important for us to realize is that as the human family
as a collective conscious/unconsciousness, we have created the situation we
are in today in our sub-conscious mind in order to create a new energy field
(information) that will take us into another level of conscious awareness,
which will, in turn, create "new thoughts" that will, in turn create new
actions resulting in new social system   formations. As Einstein knew: we
cannot solve the problem with the same level of thinking that created it, so
we are now forced to move into another level of consciousness and address
the issue from this new perspective.

Another thing for us to seriously consider is that almost all of what we
read in the newspapers or see on television, are only the *symptoms* of what
ails us. We must dig much deeper to find the real source of the illnesses to
which we are subjected in  today's world. For instance, the causes of war
may be many as well as the symptoms that appear as war is fought. But, what
we must ultimately consider is that the real source or cause of war only
exists in the present state of our collective unconscious mind. And, it is
to this "state" of consciousness that we must look for answers as to "why"
we are doing what we are doing. And, most of the time, we find that this
state (belief system) is one that has been programmed into our mind by
"cultural influences, e.g., parents, significant others in our lives such as
aunts, uncles, grandparents, close family friends, schools and religious
orders until we are approximately 7 - 10 years of age when we begin to form
our own opinions -- but, opinions nevertheless which have a basis in the
belief system(s) with which we were programmed by the aforementioned.

And, now, Dr. Bruce Lipton steps in and asks the question as to: What if the
belief systems with which we have been preprogrammed are not valid?" What if
they are largely based in myth, or in falsified words in documents such as
the Bible, and placed there by those in Roman times in order to "social
engineer" the world as to how thought back then created a way people should
act? Would this not lead to the design of "aberrant social systems" that
weigh in heavily on the side of being "death-defining" rather than
"life-enhancing?" What was the Spanish Inquisition that killed somewhere
between 6 and 11 million people, most of them women, about? How and why did
the male dominance belief system, to which we are still under submission
come about? How much of what is happening today is a result of the thinking
that allowed this unnatural belief system to come into being: one that
devalues women and promotes war and violence? Has religion really been of
benefit to us, or has it largely been a destructive force with which we are
having to deal today? Does the story of the biology of the human system tell
a different story than that of religious belief systems which emanate mainly
from culture-based ideas that have no substantial basis in reality?

As we moved as the human family from Mythraism into Christianity, we left
behind the rituals of human and animal sacrifice that were meant to appease
the "Gods" and bring about fertility. Is it not now time to release this
culturally-based belief system and move into the reality of what it means to
be human today while discarding our fantasy idea of God as an "old man who
dispenses punishment or blessings?" and recognize the significance and
magnificence of the electromagnetic field which underlies all of life as
being the ultimate force within us and over which we have control?

Is it anymore far-fetched to release our child-like vision of God and
replace it with a healthier version now than it was to stop our belief in
human and animal sacrifice back then?

Deepak Chopra has not too long ago made a comment to the affect that if
religion was the solution it long ago would have done its job. Isn't it time
now to move on into a healthier way of thinking and living our lives than
holding on to beliefs that do not serve us?

The Big Squander
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/20/opinion/20krugman.html?_r=1&ref=opinio
n
by Paul Krugman
   Published on Friday, November 20, 2009 by The New York Times

Earlier this week, the inspector general for the Troubled Asset Relief
Program, a k a, the bank bailout fund, released his report on the 2008
rescue of the American International Group, the insurer. The gist of the
report is that government officials made no serious attempt to extract
concessions from bankers, even though these bankers received huge benefits
from the rescue. And more than money was lost. By making what was in effect
a multibillion-dollar gift to Wall Street, policy makers undermined their
own credibility - and put the broader economy at risk.

For the A.I.G. rescue was part of a pattern: Throughout the financial
crisis key officials - most notably Timothy Geithner, who was president of
the New York Fed in 2008 and is now Treasury secretary - have shied away
from doing anything that might rattle Wall Street. And the bitter paradox
is that this play-it-safe approach has ended up undermining prospects for
economic recovery. For the job of fixing the broken economy is far from
done - yet finishing the job has become nearly impossible now that the
public has lost faith in the government's efforts, viewing them as little
more than handouts to the people who got us into this mess.

About the A.I.G. affair: During the bubble years, many financial companies
created the illusion of financial soundness by buying credit-default swaps
from A.I.G. - basically, insurance policies in which A.I.G. promised to
make up the difference if borrowers defaulted on their debts. It was an
illusion because the insurer didn't have remotely enough money to make good
on its promises if things went bad. And sure enough, things went bad.

So why protect bankers from the consequences of their errors? Well, by the
time A.I.G.'s hollowness became apparent, the world financial system was on
the edge of collapse and officials judged - probably correctly - that
letting A.I.G. go bankrupt would push the financial system over that edge.
So A.I.G. was effectively nationalized; its promises became taxpayer
liabilities.

But was there any way to limit those liabilities? After all, banks would
have suffered huge losses if A.I.G. had been allowed to fail. So it seemed
only fair for them to bear part of the cost of the bailout, which they
could have done by accepting a "haircut" on the amounts A.I.G. owed them.
Indeed, the government asked them to do just that. But they said no - and
that was the end of the story. Taxpayers not only ended up honoring foolish
promises made by other people, they ended up doing so at 100 cents on the
dollar.

Could things have been different? Some commentators argue that government
officials had no way to force the banks to accept a haircut - either they
let A.I.G. go bankrupt, which they weren't ready to do, or they had to
honor its contracts as written.

But this seems like a na�ve view of how Wall Street works. Major
financial firms are a small club, with a shared interest in sustaining the
system; ever since the days of J.P. Morgan, it has been common in times of
crisis to call on the big players to forgo short-term profits for the
industry's common good. Back in 1998, it was a consortium of private
bankers - not the government - that put up the funds to rescue the hedge
fund Long Term Capital Management.

Furthermore, big financial firms have a long-term relationship, both with
the government and with each other, and can pay a price if they act
selfishly in times of crisis. Bear Stearns, the investment bank, earned
itself a lot of ill will by refusing to participate in that 1998 rescue,
and it's widely believed that this ill will played a major factor in the
demise of Bear Stearns itself, 10 years later.

So officials could have called on bankers to offer a better deal, for their
own sake, and simultaneously threatened to name and shame those who balked.
It was their choice not to do that, just as it was their choice not to push
for more control over bailed-out banks in early 2009.

And, as I said, these seemingly safe choices have now placed the economy in
grave danger.

For the economy is still in deep trouble and needs much more government
help. Unemployment is in double-digits; we desperately need more government
spending on job creation. Banks are still weak, and credit is still tight;
we desperately need more government aid to the financial sector. But try to
talk to an ordinary voter about this, and the response you're likely to get
is: "No way. All they'll do is hand out more money to Wall Street."

So here's the real tragedy of the botched bailout: Government officials,
perhaps influenced by spending too much time with bankers, forgot that if
you want to govern effectively you have retain the trust of the people. And
by treating the financial industry - which got us into this mess in the
first place - with kid gloves, they have squandered that trust.

FYI and consideration.

Helping to Fight Influenza Naturally



Woodson C. Merrell, MD

Beth Israel Medical Center


  P <http://www.bottomlinesecrets.com/images/drop_caps/blue_p.gif> ublic health
officials are scrambling to prepare for what may be one of the most challenging
flu seasons ever. Seasonal influenza, combined with the continuing presence and
possible winter worsening of H1N1, is a daunting prospect. Vaccines for both
have been developed, but as of this date, the H1N1 vaccine is still in short
supply.

If past experience is a guide, as the seasonal flu peaks in January or February,
an estimated 50 million Americans will be infected by it, with an average of
36,000 deaths -- and this is not counting the new H1N1 threat.

Prevention is critical. This includes frequent hand washing and avoidance of
crowded spaces. The only FDA-approved remedies available for either classic
influenza or H1N1 are vaccines and Tamiflu-class medications. Nevertheless,
there are principles and practices that can offer immune support and symptom
control. The supplements in this article (available online, from health-food
stores and pharmacies) may warrant a place in our medicine chest this year as we
seek to be as healthy, and flu and cold-free as possible. (Caveat: None of these
have been specifically studied for H1N1 flu.)

OSCILLOCOCCINUM

Taken at the first sign of symptoms, this over-the-counter homeopathic remedy
has been shown to reduce both the duration and severity of flu.

In a study published in British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, researchers
found that 17.1% of patients with flulike symptoms who took Oscillococcinum
(pronounced o-sill-cox-SEE-num) recovered within 48 hours, compared with 10.3%
of those taking placebos. Another published study from the venerable Cochrane
Database of Systematic Reviews 2009 confirmed Oscillo’s effectiveness in
combating the flu.

Particularly for people sensitive to the Tamiflu-class of medications, this is
one of the only substances with published effectiveness against influenza.

Important: Oscillococcinum works only when taken within three days of symptom
onset.

Dose: One vial of pellets under the tongue, three times daily, for no more than
three days. If it hasn’t worked by then, it won’t.

CHINESE HERBAL FORMULAS

These are important aids to help the immune system as it struggles to fight flu
as well as colds. Few Western clinical studies have looked at these formulas,
but the experience of practitioners in the US as well as a history of successful
use for hundreds of years in Asia indicate that Chinese herbals can be both safe
and effective at relieving cold and flu symptoms and can shorten the duration of
illness.

These products typically contain six to 10 different ingredients, including
herbs such as forsythia, isatis, andrographis and astragalus. Some of the
components have antiviral effects... others increase immunity... and others
address specific symptoms, such as congestion or fever.

Important: Use only formulations that have been produced in the US, which has
the highest quality-control standards. Some herbal products imported from China
have been found to contain toxic levels of lead or mercury. Good brands include
Wellness Formula by Source Naturals and Cold Away by Health Concerns.

Dose: Follow the label instructions. A typical dose is three tablets taken three
times daily, as needed.

ECHINACEA

I recommend echinacea for general immune support. The herb fell out of favor
when it was reported in a 2005 study in The New England Journal of Medicine that
it was no better than a placebo for treating and preventing colds.

However, in 2007, The Lancet published a meta-analysis of studies comparing
echinacea with a placebo for preventing or shortening the duration of the common
cold. Echinacea was found to be effective. The researchers also discovered that
echinacea seemed to reduce the severity of cold symptoms.

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study that was published in
Journal of Clinical Pharmacy & Therapeutics stated that echinacea significantly
reduced symptoms when it was taken soon after the onset of symptoms. This
finding has been replicated by many other studies.

Echinacea appears to be most effective when combined with other herbs that
synergistically strengthen immunity and relieve upper-respiratory infections.

Dose: Follow label directions. I recommend taking echinacea in combination with
other herbs, such as black elderberry. Good brands include Esberitox, Insure and
Immunotone.

Caution: Don’t take echinacea if you have an autoimmune disorder, such as
rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s or lupus. It increases levels of TNF-alpha, an
inflammatory substance that needs to be lowered in patients with these
conditions.

ESSENTIAL OIL INHALATION THERAPY

Inhalation therapy is one of the fastest ways to relieve symptoms of colds or
flu. It also can help prevent illness because it kills viruses in the
upper-respiratory tract.

When you’re in a crowded place (such as a movie theater or an airplane),
remove the cap from a bottle of essential oil, such as tea tree oil. Take
several sniffs with each nostril. Do this every one to two hours. Tea tree
oil’s compounds have been shown to have both antiviral and antibacterial
effects.

For symptom relief: Pour steaming water into a bowl, along with a few drops of
tea tree oil, or any of a number of essential oils (rosemary, oregano or
combination products such as Thieves Oil Blend, or even Vicks VapoRub -- a blend
of camphor, eucalyptus oil and menthol). Drape a towel around your head to trap
the steam. Then lean forward, close your eyes and breathe in the vaporized oils.
It’s the fastest way to relieve congestion and sinus pressure, as well as
provide an excellent germicidal effect.

MEDICINAL MUSHROOMS

Medicinal mushrooms, including shiitake, maitake and reishi, have been shown to
have significant immune-stimulating properties, and people who maintain a strong
immune system are far less likely to get colds or flu. Mushrooms are used both
preventively and during an illness that challenges the immune system. Unlike
many immune-boosting herbs, mushrooms do not seem to lose their effectiveness
with prolonged use.

Dose: Eat one or more of these mushroom varieties a few times a week throughout
the cold and flu season. Or take a supplement that includes a mushroom blend,
such as New Chapter Host Defense.

VITAMIN C AND ZINC

Vitamin C has been shown to be somewhat effective at preventing and treating
upper-respiratory infections. A study published in Advances in Therapy in 2002
found that people taking vitamin C had significantly fewer colds than those
taking placebos. They also had a shorter duration of severe symptoms -- 1.8
days, compared with 3.1 days for those in the control group.

Zinc oral lozenges often are used to reduce symptoms, including cough, nasal
discharge and sore throat.

Caution: Recently the nasal form of zinc in one form of Zicam was shown to
inhibit the sense of smell.

Dose: Up to three zinc lozenges daily for maximum of three or four days. For
vitamin C, a typical dose is 1,000 milligrams (mg) daily, divided into two or
three doses to avoid stomach upset or diarrhea.

Better Travel With Your Pet

you’ll travel with your pet in your vehicle before you depart, planning ahead
for safety and convenience. Ideas...

   <http://bottomlinesecrets.com/images/bullets/blue_bullet.gif> Keep the pet on
a harness attached to the seat belt or in a carrying case. An animal that jumps
around can be a distraction and could also be hurt in an accident or if you have
to stop suddenly.

   <http://bottomlinesecrets.com/images/bullets/blue_bullet.gif> Feed animals
three or four hours before departing so that they won’t start agitating for
food too soon into the trip.

   <http://bottomlinesecrets.com/images/bullets/blue_bullet.gif> Bring plenty of
water. The excitement and stress of a trip can make your pet thirsty.

   <http://bottomlinesecrets.com/images/bullets/blue_bullet.gif> Bring along a
litter box for a cat.

   <http://bottomlinesecrets.com/images/bullets/blue_bullet.gif> Never leave your
pet in the car unattended -- you may be away from the vehicle longer than you
expect, or your pet could even be stolen. It’s also dangerous to leave any
animal in a poorly ventilated vehicle.

Moving Into:  TOTAL WELLNESS

While this article brings forth the validity of the opium trade being the
real reason for the continued war in Afghanistan as put forth by Peter in
comments on previous articles, there can be no denying that would the U.S.
elite who foster these actions become more consciously aware of the
ramifications of their actions and move into another level of consciousness,
the raising of poppies from which to produce opium along with fighting wars
would become "unthinkable" acts.

The raising of opium and the wars related to this issue are but
manifestations of a state of conscious -- and once we are able to "mature
our thinking" and move into another level of awareness then doing these acts
become incomprehensible in the light of what is known.

Afghanistan


The Geopolitics behind the phoney US war in Afghanistan
http://www.engdahl.oilgeopolitics.net/Geopolitics___Eurasia/Afghanistan/afgh
anistan.html
By F. William Engdahl, 21 October 2009



One of the most remarkable aspects of the Obama Presidential agenda is how
little anyone has questioned in the media or elsewhere why at all the
United States Pentagon is committed to a military occupation of
Afghanistan. There are two basic reasons, neither one of which can be
admitted openly to the public at large.

Behind all the deceptive official debate over how many troops are needed to
"win" the war in Afghanistan, whether another 30,000 is sufficient, or
whether at least 200000 are needed, the real purpose of US military
presence in that pivotal Central Asian country is obscured.

Even during the 2008 Presidential campaign candidate Obama argued that
Afghanistan not Iraq was where the US must wage war. His reason? Because he
claimed, that was where the Al Qaeda organization was holed up and that was
the "real" threat to US national security. The reasons behind US
involvement in Afghanistan is quite another one.

The US military is in Afghanistan for two reasons. First to restore and
control the world's largest supply of opium for the world heroin markets
and to use the drugs as a geopolitical weapon against opponents, especially
Russia. That control of the Afghan drug market is essential for the
liquidity of the bankrupt and corrupt Wall Street financial mafia.

Geopolitics of Afghan Opium

According even to an official UN report, opium production in Afghanistan
has risen dramatically since the downfall of the Taliban in 2001. UNODC
data shows more opium poppy cultivation in each of the past four growing
seasons (2004-2007), than in any one year during Taliban rule. More land is
now used for opium in Afghanistan, than for coca cultivation in Latin
America. In 2007, 93% of the opiates on the world market originated in
Afghanistan. This is no accident.

It has been documented that Washington hand-picked the controversial Hamid
Karzai, a Pashtun warlord from the Popalzai tribe, long in the CIA's
service, brought him back from exile in the USA, created a Hollywood
mythology around his "courageous leadership of his people." According
to Afghan sources, Karzai is the Opium "Godfather" of Afghanistan
today. There is apparently no accident that he was and is today still
Washington's preferred man in Kabul. Yet even with massive vote buying
and fraud and intimidation, Karzai's days could be ending as President.

The second reason the US military remains in Afghanistan long after the
world has forgotten even who the mysterious Osama bin Laden and his alleged
Al Qaeda terrorist organization is or even if they exist, is as a pretext
to build a permanent US military strike force with a series of permanent US
airbases across Afghanistan. The aim of those bases is not to eradicate any
Al Qaeda cells that may have survived in the caves of Tora Bora, or to
eradicate a mythical "Taliban" which at this point according to
eyewitness reports is made up overwhelmingly of local ordinary Afghanis
fighting to rid their land once more of occupier armies as they  did in the
11980's against the Russians.

The aim of the US bases in Afghanistan is to target and be able to strike
at the two nations which today represent the only combined threat in the
world today to an American global imperium, to America's Full Spectrum
Dominance as the Pentagon terms it.

The lost 'Mandate of Heaven'

The problem for the US power elites around Wall Street and in Washington is
the fact that they are now in the deepest financial crisis in their
history. That crisis is clear to the entire world and the world is acting
on a basis of self-survival. The US elites have lost what in Chinese
imperial history is known as the Mandate of Heaven. That mandate is given a
ruler or ruling elite provided they rule their people justly and fairly.
When they rule tyrannically and as despots, oppressing and abusing their
people, they lose that Mandate of Heaven.

If the powerful private wealthy elites that have controlled essential US
financial and foreign policy for most of the past century or more ever had
a "mandate of Heaven" they clearly have lost it. The domestic
developments towards creation of an abusive police state with deprivation
of Constitutional rights to its citizens, the arbitrary exercise of power
by non elected officials such as Treasury Secretaries Henry Paulson and now
Tim Geithner, stealing trillion dollar sums from taxpayers without their
consent in order to bailout the bankrupt biggest Wall Street banks, banks
deemed "Too Big To Fail," this all demonstrates to the world they have
lost the mandate

In this situation, the US power elites are increasingly desperate to
maintain their control of a global parasitical empire, called deceptively
by their media machine, "globalization." To hold that dominance it is
essential that they be able to break up any emerging cooperation in the
economic, energy or military realm between the two major powers of Eurasia
that conceivably could pose a challenge to future US sole Superpower
control--China in combination with Russia.

Each Eurasian power brings to the table essential contributions. China has
the world's most robust economy, a huge young and dynamic workforce, an
educated middle class. Russia, whose economy has not recovered from the
destructive end pf the Soviet era and of the primitive looting during the
Yeltsin era, still holds essential assets for the combination. Russia's
nuclear strike force and its military pose the only threat in the world
today to US military dominance, even if it is largely a residue of the Cold
War. The Russian military elites never gave up that potential.

As well Russia holds the world's largest treasure of natural gas and vast
reserves of oil urgently needed by China. The two powers are increasingly
converging via a new organization they created in 2001 known as the
Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). That includes as well as China and
Russia, the largest Central Asia states Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan,
and Uzbekistan.

The purpose of the alleged US war against both Taliban and Al Qaeda is in
reality to place its military strike force directly in the middle of the
geographical space of this emerging SCO in Central Asia. Iran is a
diversion. The main goal or target is Russia and China.

Officially, of course, Washington claims it has built its military presence
inside Afghanistan since 2002 in order to protect a "fragile" Afghan
democracy. It's a curious argument given the reality of US military
presence there.

In December 2004, during a visit to Kabul, US Defense Secretary Donald
Rumsfeld finalized plans to build nine new bases in Afghanistan in the
provinces of Helmand, Herat, Nimrouz, Balkh, Khost and Paktia. The nine are
in addition to the three major US military bases already installed in the
wake of its occupation of Afghanistan in winter of 2001-2002, ostensibly to
isolate and eliminate the terror threat of Osama bin Laden.

The Pentagon built its first three bases at Bagram Air Field north of
Kabul, the US' main military logistics center; Kandahar Air Field, in
southern Afghanistan; and Shindand Air Field in the western province of
Herat. Shindand, the largest US base in Afghanistan, was constructed a mere
100 kilometers from the border of Iran, and within striking distance of
Russia as well as China.

Afghanistan has historically been the heartland for the British-Russia
Great Game, the struggle for control of Central Asia during the 19th and
early 20th Centuries. British strategy then was to prevent Russia at all
costs from controlling Afghanistan and thereby threatening Britain's
imperial crown jewel, India.

Afghanistan is similarly regarded by Pentagon planners as highly strategic.
It is a platform from which US military power could directly threaten
Russia and China, as well as Iran and other oil-rich Middle East lands.
Little has changed geopolitically over more than a century of wars.

Afghanistan is in an extremely vital location, straddling South Asia,
Central Asia, and the Middle East. Afghanistan also lies along a proposed
oil pipeline route from the Caspian Sea oil fields to the Indian Ocean,
where the US oil company, Unocal, along with Enron and Cheney's
Halliburton, had been in negotiations for exclusive pipeline rights to
bring natural gas from Turkmenistan across Afghanistan and Pakistan to
Enron's huge natural gas power plant at Dabhol near Mumbai. Karzai,
before becoming puppet US president, had been a Unocal lobbyist.

Al Qaeda doesn't exist as a threat

The truth of all this deception around the real purpose in Afghanistan
becomes clear on a closer look at the alleged "Al Qaeda" threat in
Afghanistan. According to author Erik Margolis, prior to the September
11,2001 attacks, US intelligence was giving aid and support both to the
Taliban and to Al Qaeda. Margolis claims that "The CIA was planning to
use Osama bin Laden's Al Qaeda to stir up Muslim Uighurs against Chinese
rule, and Taliban against Russia's Central Asian allies."

The US clearly found other means of stirring up Muslim Uighurs against
Beijing last July via its support for the World Uighur Congress. But the Al
Qaeda "threat" remains the lynchpin of Obama US justification for his
Afghan war buildup.

Now, however, the National Security Adviser to President Obama, former
Marine Gen. James Jones has made a statement, conveniently buried by the
friendly US media, about the estimated size of the present Al Qaeda danger
in Afghanistan. Jones told Congress, "The al-Qaeda presence is very
diminished. The maximum estimate is less than 100 operating in the country,
no bases, no ability to launch attacks on either us or our allies."

That means that Al-Qaeda, for all practical purposes, does not exist in
Afghanistan. Oops.

Even in neighboring Pakistan, the remnants of Al-Qaeda are scarcely to be
found. The Wall Street Journal reports, "Hunted by US drones, beset by
money problems and finding it tougher to lure young Arabs to the bleak
mountains of Pakistan, al Qaeda is seeing its role shrink there and in
Afghanistan, according to intelligence reports and Pakistan and U.S.
officials. For Arab youths who are al Qaeda's primary recruits, 'it's
not romantic to be cold and hungry and hiding,' said a senior U.S.
official in South Asia."

If we follow the statement to its logical consequence we must conclude then
that the reason German soldiers are dying along with other NATO youth in
the mountains of Afghanistan has nothing to do with "winning a war
against terrorism." Conveniently most media chooses to forget the fact
that Al Qaeda to the extent it ever existed, was a creation in the 1980's
of the CIA, who recruited and trained radical muslims from across the
Islamic world to wage war against Russian troops in Afghanistan as part of
a strategy developed by Reagan's CIA head Bill Casey and others to create
a "new Vietnam" for the Soviet Union which would lead to a humiliating
defeat for the Red Army and the ultimate collapse of the Soviet Union.

Now US NSC head Jones admits there is essentially no Al Qaeda anymore in
Afghanistan. Perhaps it is time for a more honest debate from our political
leaders about the true purpose of sending more young to die protecting the
opium harvests of Afghanistan.

Moving Into:  TOTAL WELLNESS

Thank you, Ulysses for your kind words. It is attorney's like you who are
going to have to wade into the muck and attempt to settle some of these
issues legally. What I feel we need, to ensure that we-the-people are fairly
represented in the courts, is some sort of legal fund set up by donations
from we-the-people. Some time back, a group of us discussed setting up a
"union" of sorts whereby anyone who was a member could donate a minimum of
$1.00; however I am sure that many of those who joined would donate much
more if they were financially able to do so; however we want to ensure that
donations in large amounts are not sufficient enough to "buy influence" or
we would be back in the same boat as now. What we need to do at all costs,
IMHO, is to avoid conflict that could erupt into physical violence and
seeking address legally may be the best way to do this.

One of the first steps I feel should be taken is to file an injunction to
stop the flagrant lying from taking place such as the Republicans are doing;
and, of course this is what happens with monetized politics. It is not about
what is right for the country as a whole, but what is most beneficial to
those who are paying the politicians. This is very damaging to the country
and to the people within it. There must be a change in consciousness here --
we simply cannot keep on destroying ourselves in this manner.

How do you feel about this, Ulysses?

3.1  See also Bloomberg v. Board of Governors, N.Y. Federal Disctirct Court
Southern District (2009) where Bloomberg, L.P.  seks Board of Governors,
under Freedom of Information Act Request, mandating Board of Governiors
disclose identity of domestic and foreign recipients of $7 trillion U.S.
taxpayer bailout funds.  Ney York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo has filed
comporable litigation in New York with respect to the Bank America-Treasury
secret agreement for BofA to buy Merril-Lynch without required shareholder
disclosure. House Barne Frank and Se. Chris Dodd are both aware of litigaton
but are both recipients of Bailout bank loans - clear conflict of interest.

Moving Into: TOTAL WELLNESS

I am aware that many people feel nuclear power is safe and we should be
building more nuclear plants -- but as is revealed here, it is not safe.
Another factor is that economically it simply does not make sense. This is a
major issue where having the truth available so that people can make
intelligent and informed decisions is vital to our well-being now and into
the future. Yet, monetized politics buys the truth and then falsifies it in
the interests of those who benefit from any profits made.

These are practices that simply must be stopped.

Doesn't Want You To Know


Nuclear Power Causes Cancer: What Industry Doesn't Want You To Know
Samuel S. Epstein
Cancer prevention expert, prof. emeritus at U. of IL School of Public
Health, Chicago
Posted: August 4, 2009 02:02 PM
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/samuel-s-epstein/nuclear-power-causes-canc_b_2

Nuclear power, frequently mentioned as one option for meeting future energy
needs, would pose a health threat to Americans if a meltdown occurred. But
despite meltdowns at Chernobyl and Three Mile Island, and many other
near-miss accidents, there is another dirty little secret the nuclear
industry doesn't want you to know. Cancer risk from nuclear plants aren't
just potential risks, they are actual risks.

Every day, reactors must routinely release a portion of radioactive
chemicals into local air and water -- the same chemicals found in atomic
bomb tests. They enter human bodies through breathing and the food chain.
Federal law obligates nuclear companies to measure these emissions and the
amounts that end up in air, water, and food, and to report them to federal
regulators.

However, nuclear advocates consistently claim that these releases are below
federally-permitted limits, and thus are harmless. But this thinking is a
leap that ignores hard evidence from scientific studies. Now, after half a
century of a large-scale experiment with nuclear power, the verdict is in:
nuclear reactors cause cancer.

The claim that low doses of radiation are harmless has always been just a
claim. It led to practices like routine diagnostic X-rays to the pelvis of
pregnant women, until the work of the University of Oxford's Dr. Alice
Stewart found that these X-rays doubled the chance that the fetus would die
of cancer as a child. Many studies later, independent experts agreed that
no dose is safe. A 2005 report by a blue-ribbon panel of the National
Academy of Sciences reviewed hundreds of scientific articles, and concluded
that there is no risk-free dose of radiation.

Federal health officials, who should be responsible for tracking cancer
near nuclear reactors and analyzing their nuclear contaminants, have
ignored the dangers. The only national analysis of the topic was a 1990
study mandated by Senator Edward Kennedy, and conducted by the National
Cancer Institute. But this study was biased before it even got started. A
January 28, 1988 letter to Senator Kennedy from National Institutes of
Health Director Dr. James Wyngaarden brazenly declared "The most serious
impact of the Three Mile Island accident that can be identified with
certainty is mental stress to those living near the plant, particularly
pregnant women and families with teenagers and young children." Not
surprisingly, the study concluded there was no evidence of high cancer
rates near reactors. No updated study has since been conducted by federal
officials.

With government on the sidelines, it has been up to independent researchers
-- publishing results in medical and scientific journals, to generate the
needed evidence. Studies were limited until the 1990s, but the few
publications consistently documented high local cancer rates near reactors.
Dr. Richard Clapp of Boston University found high leukemia rates near the
Pilgrim plant in Massachusetts. Colorado health official Dr. Carl Johnson
documented high child cancer rates near the San Onofre plant in California.

Columbia University researchers showed that cancer cases within a 10 mile
radius of the Three Mile Island plant soared 64% in the first five years
after the 1979 meltdown. Following the federal government's party line,
they claimed that "stress" rather than radiation caused this increase. But
the cat was out of the bag. Dr. Steven Wing of the University of North
Carolina published a paper using the same data confirming the
radiation-cancer link.

Joseph Mangano, MPH, MBA, Executive Director of the Radiation and Public
Health Project, has authored 23 scientific articles since the mid-1990s
documenting high local cancer rates near nukes. One study showed child
cancer exceeded the national rate near 14 of 14 plants in the eastern U.S.
Another showed that when U.S. nuclear plants closed, local infant deaths
and child cancer cases plunged immediately after shutdown.

Other publications by Mangano have shown rising levels of radioactive
Strontium-90, emitted by reactors, in baby teeth of children living near
reactors, which were closely linked with trends in childhood cancer rates.

The young aren't the only ones affected by reactor emissions. New evidence
has examined adult rates of thyroid cancer, a disease especially sensitive
to radiation. Thyroid is the fastest-rising cancer in the U.S., nearly
tripling since 1980. This evidence proves that most U.S. counties with the
highest thyroid cancer rates are within a 90-mile radius covering eastern
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and southern New York. This area has 16 nuclear
reactors (13 still in operation) at 7 plants, the densest concentration of
reactors in the U.S.

A November 2007 article on U.S. child leukemia deaths updated the 1990
National Cancer Institute study and showed local rates rose as nuclear
plants aged -- except near plants that shut down.

A nationwide study of current cancer rates near nukes is sorely needed. In
May this year, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) quietly
announced it was commissioning an update of the 1990 National Cancer study.
This sounds like a positive step. However, the NRC has long been a harsh
critic of any suggestion that reactors cause cancer. This is not
surprising, since the Commission receives 90% of its funds from nuclear
companies that operate reactors.

Rather than ask for competitive bids for the cancer study, the NRC simply
handed the job to the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education. Oak
Ridge is an Energy Department contractor in the city that has operated a
nuclear weapons plant for over half a century. The "Institute" is merely a
front for pro-nuclear forces. It has no record of publishing scientific
articles on cancer rates near reactors. The whitewash is on.

Several steps must be taken urgently. President Obama, who will appoint
replacements for 2 of the 5 NRC commissioners later this year, should
select independent members -- not the yes men for the nuclear industry who
have run the NRC for so many years. The NRC should bow out of the cancer
study. Finally, Congress should appropriate funds supporting a truly
independent study on cancer rates near U.S. reactors. The American public
deserves to know just what these machines have done to them, so that future
energy policies will better protect public health.

Samuel S. Epstein, M.D. is professor emeritus of Environmental and
Occupational Medicine at the University of Illinois at Chicago School of
Public Health; Chairman of the Cancer Prevention Coalition; and author of
over 200 scientific articles and 15 books on cancer, including the
groundbreaking 1979 The Politics of Cancer, and the 2009 Toxic Beauty.

Moving Into: TOTAL WELLNESS

OK, here we have the truth finally about need for human labor in our
changing world. Now maybe we can get on with finding the solution instead of
demanding more and more jobs be created.

The Ugly Truth about Jobs
By Robert Parry
http://www.inthesetimes.com/article/5205/the_ugly_truth_about_jobs/

     Americans-from blue-collar manufacturing workers to white-collar
office employees-won't be needed as much in the future.

Share   Facebook Digg del.icio.us Newsvine   StumbleUpon Reddit TwitThis
Furl Propeller

Federal Reserve Board Chairman Ben Bernanke has given Americans a glimpse
of the ugly truth about their future job prospects.

Simply put, companies have found that they can shed workers and rely on
technological advances and overseas factories to operate with a lot fewer
U.S. employees.

Bernanke told the Economic Club of New York on Monday that some U.S.
companies might begin to add workers to meet rising demand. But, he added,
"other firms.seem to have found longer-lasting, efficiency-enhancing
changes that allowed them to reduce their workforces.. To the extent that
firms are able to find further cost-cutting measures as output expands,
they may delay hiring."

In other words, Americans-from blue-collar manufacturing workers to
white-collar office employees-won't be needed as much in the future by
companies that are squeezing more productivity out of the workers that
remain and are shifting more jobs overseas.

That means U.S. unemployment-which has risen from less than 4 percent to
more than 10 percent since December 2007-can be expected to stay high and
wages low, Bernanke said.

"Given this weakness in the labor market, a natural question is whether
we might be in for a so-called jobless recovery, in which output is growing
but employment fails to increase," the Fed chairman said, suggesting
strongly that the answer would be yes.

"With the job market so weak, businesses have been able to find or retain
all the workers they need with minimal wage increases, or even with wage
cuts," Bernanke said. "The best thing we can say about the labor market
right now is that it may be getting worse more slowly."

Yet, while American jobs were falling off a cliff, productivity-defined
as output per hour of work - was soaring, rising at a 5.5 percent annual
rate this year, Bernanke said.

Put all this together and average Americans might want to rethink how they
feel about their "free-market" economic system, now that many of them
have been made surplus to it. High unemployment also may cause a double-dip
recession-and even more layoffs-because jobless Americans won't be
able to pay their mortgages or buy new cars or other consumer goods.
What to do?

So what can be done? The obvious answer is for the government to intervene
in creating infrastructure jobs directly and encouraging the private sector
to spread the available work around (and not ship so much work abroad).

However, with the federal government deeply in debt (thanks to George W.
Bush's massive tax cuts tilted to the rich and because of his two
open-ended wars in Iraq and Afghanistan), there isn't much money to
devote to any additional economic stimulus.

Thus, the Obama administration is faced with the dilemma of either
borrowing more money or raising taxes on the rich to help pay for programs
to increase jobs. Neither prospect is politically attractive, since
Democratic "deficit hawks" keep banding with Republicans to block any
more borrowing and many politicians are terrified of raising taxes, even if
only on millionaires.

Ironically, the current crisis could have one silver lining, if Americans
finally opted for an economic strategy that raised taxes on the rich, who
have benefited most from the technological advances and the expansion of
international commerce, and shared those productivity gains with more
people.

That might allow Americans to begin enjoying the future that seemed to be
beckoning years back, when people thought that machines would make life
easier for humans, not harder.

But many Americans have been sold on the right-wing and neoconservative
message that any government effort to address the nation's domestic needs
is dreaded "socialism" and that the government's primary-if not
only-role must be to lavish money on the military to "keep us safe."

That widespread belief system is the result of three decades of having
drummed into their heads Ronald Reagan's catchy phrase that "government
is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem," a theme
repeated endlessly on right-wing talk radio, at Fox News and in a host of
other conservative media outlets that dominate the American landscape.

Simultaneously, the American Left has done little to counter the Right's
propaganda. This media asymmetry has had devastating consequences for the
American political process. In the 1980s, Reagan had a relatively free hand
to go after "big labor"; in the 1990s, working with the triangulating
Clinton administration, Republicans pushed through "free-trade
agreements" and bank deregulation; and in this decade, Bush slashed taxes
for the richest Americans.

The results are now apparent in home foreclosures, bankruptcies, crumbling
infrastructure and neglected cities, as Michael Moore graphically
demonstrated in his new documentary, "Capitalism: A Love Story."
Stalemated

Today's U.S. political/media process doesn't allow these problems to be
seriously addressed. The Washington conventional wisdom is still shaped by
the powerful right-wing think tanks and defined by right-wing news media.
Mainstream journalists mostly go along to save their careers.

Over several decades of covering Washington's neoconservatives, I have
marveled at their cynical but not-entirely-false view of the American
people as cattle to be herded, corralled, occasionally stampeded and
ultimately led to the slaughterhouse.

Only now-as the unemployment lines stretch, as medical insurance is
denied, and as the sheriffs show up with foreclosure notices-are some
Americans sensing the end of this strange journey, with the whiff of an
unpleasant fate behind the doors of the slaughterhouse.

Dear Mary Rose:



I have no comment on the content of Barbara Hand Clow's piece on Night Six
of the Galactic Underworld as most of what she says is outside my frame of
reference.  However, I do acknowledge her for having introduced me to the
work of Carl Johan Calleman, whose creative interpretation of the meaning of
the Mayan Calendar is very persuasive.  For this reason I support her
recommendation to see his latest book, The Purposeful Universe.  I am
reading it now.  He begins by taking recent discoveries in physics of a
Central Axis in the Cosmic Microwave Background of the Big Bang to posit a
new theory of creation that is a better explanation of the creation of the
universe than the current Big Bang theory and, most importantly, introduces
the concept of purpose to creation in contrast to the current scientific
preoccupation with randomness.  The concept of purpose is key to
understanding the Mayan Calendar as a description of the purposeful
evolution of life and, in particular, human consciousness towards a positive
development of our species and the world.  I don't necessarily think that
Calleman has got it all right, anymore than Newton, Darwin or Einstein got
it all right--but that's pretty good company to keep, and I do recommend
that your readers take a look at his latest book, The Purposeful Universe,
which is available from Amazon.



Desmond



Desmond, thanks for your comment. I am an admirer of Carl Johan Calleman
also, and will try to get his latest book and review it.  However, I was
just reviewing Dr. Bruce Lipton's CD: "As Above - So Below," which is an
introduction to "fractal evolution" from his perspective, and find the same
message as Calleman's in Bruce's explanation as to how life unfolds from a
biological interpretation.  And, as well I can link both Calleman's and
Lipton's viewpoints to that of  The Dalai Lama's "The Universe in An Atom".
It becomes readily apparent that we are both the Creator and the Created and
what we perceive of as "God" is really the electromagnetic energy field as
revealed by Lawrence Fagg in "The Electromagnetic and the Sacred".

This is pretty - wow - maybe because I haven't kept up with
Mayan Calendar and astrological readings of what's going on lately.
It's complicated, but worth sticking with it to the end. Has interesting
mentions of several books, Michael Calleman's and Dan Brown's latest.

Bottom line: define what small or large breakthrough you had in your
approach to life during this last year, and hold onto it, focus into and
expand on it, and "use it as your lifeboat" during this next year.

But do read the whole thing, (easier if you copy and paste it into a word
file
so it isn't so w i d e.)

Elizabeth is in Portland, OR, and does amazing readings, too!

Scorpio New Moon: November 16, 2009



The 2009 Scorpio New Moon chart is exceedingly complex and personally
demanding, a genuine get-real-and-be-truthful moment. First of all, the
chart emphasizes healing our emotions because Jupiter (personal expansion),
Chiron (healing), and Neptune (spiritual access) are now all direct in
Aquarius, and the New Moon squares them. This blocks Scorpio's natural
tendency to be secretive, so we may experience revelations. Evocatively,
Uranus in Pisces trines the lunation, so we look for spiritual solutions for
our selves and the world.

Night Six of the Galactic Underworld (1999-2011) just opened on November 8,
which heralds the darkness before the New Dawn. Thus, this New Moon opens
the dark night of the soul. With Obama leading the US during last days of
the Galactic Underworld, isn't it fascinating that Mars (war and aggression)
in the New Moon chart is exactly conjunct his Sun sign (personal integrity)?
How are you doing with your Nobel Peace prize, President Obama?

This New Moon reading suggests we are arrows in arched bows primed to enter
cosmic space. So, we must begin with a brief recap of Day Six of the
Galactic Underworld, which ended November 7. Then we need to look at the
probable effects of the movement into Night Six on November 8, since the
chart for the New Moon in Scorpio actually does not make much sense without
putting it into the context of the Mayan Calendar.

Tlahuizcalpantecuhtli, the lord before the Dawn is the deity of Night Six,
the archetypal force of cosmic renewal. Yohualticitl, the goddess of birth,
was the ruler of Day Six, so now we are living in a world in which the old
ways are falling rapidly away. The powers-that-be will do everything
possible to make it look like everything is all the same, but things are
not. Millions of people following the time-acceleration process have already
greatly changed. So, what did you birth during Day Six-November 15,
2009-November 8, 2009?

During this period, each one of you has made monumental shifts, and you feel
that you will never drop back to the previous level. So, what breakthrough
did you accomplish? You must identify this year's personal leap because it
will be your guide during Night Six. This leap will be your lifeboat, and I
don't care how silly your move forward may seem to be. For example, one
student said his big step was to learn how to putt well in golf! That may
sound like nothing, but consider this: golf is the ultimate multidimensional
game, and the reason most people can't sink the ball in the hole is because
success brings up childhood psychological blocks.

As for me, I discovered how to relax, a truly amazing feat for me! As for
you, maybe like the lion in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, perhaps
you won out over the forces of evil?

During the Day Sixes of the previous Underworlds, we made critical
evolutionary leaps-such as hominids standing up and splitting off from
chimpanzees and apes 6-9 million years ago during the Familial Underworld
(41 million years ago through AD 2011); or mammals developing a bi-lateral
brain 190 million years ago when Pangea broke up into continents during the
Mammalian Underworld (820 million years ago through AD 2011). [See my video,
Exponential Evolution, for more info on Day Sixes over time.]

So, now that we've just completed Day Six of the Galactic, what was your
personal critical leap? During Night Six, chaos will reign in the fractal
realms, and you will need to hold onto whatever special progress you made.
Then you'll be ready to make the great alchemical breakthrough during Day
Seven of the Galactic Underworld-November 3, 2010-October 28, 2011). For
example, on the first drive, the golfer might make a hole-in-one, and I
might open nine dimensions effortlessly just by meditating.

Why do I begin with Chaos Theory? We each need to identify our Day Six
attainments and intentionally hold them within the planetary field. During
Night Six, this field will be in a state of perpetual flux as it rises to
create new space for Day Seven's creative agenda, which is the fruition of
the Galactic Underworld.

For example, with no focus on your own progress, you could crumble into
simpering fear-mongering and screaming idiocy when you go see the
apocalyptic film, 2012. Are you afraid that Planet X, the Dark Star, or
Nibiru is going to smash into Earth, or that the poles will flip? There is
no doubt that the big boys are playing a very nasty game, but you can hold
your place just by not collapsing into fear! The chart for the New Moon in
Scorpio shows you how, so I will read it for guidance on how we can hold to
our true path during Night Six.

Before I read this chart, I have a few comments about events during previous
Night Sixes, since this offers some past experiences that may reemerge now
through November 2, 2010. We need to go way back to Day Six of the Regional
Underworld (103,000 years ago to 2011); this time period was 21,700 to
13,800 years ago, and this was when our ancestors lived in the Global
Maritime Civilization, the global sea-faring culture known as Atlantis in
the collective memory.
Then, when Night Six opened 13,800 years ago, major climate and earth
changes destroyed Atlantis. [See Catastrophobia (2001).] The worst phase of
the multiple cataclysms was 11,500 years ago, when Earth was nearly
destroyed, and films like 2012 will revive these memories in people. During
Night Six (AD 1225-1617) of the 5,125-year-long National Underworld, the
Mongols swept into Europe after the Crusades failed, and Western Europe was
very insecure while the East was rising in power. [See The Mayan Code: Time
Acceleration and Awakening the World Mind.]

In other words, the Night Sixes of the Regional and National Underworlds
were physically cataclysmic, so the Western psyche will fear invasions and
earth changes this year. By realizing that these are past memories, people
can release the emotional aspects of these physical cataclysms during Night
Six of the Galactic Underworld (November 8, 2009 through November 2, 2010).
The probable resonance with past disasters is a big deal for two reasons:
one, apocalyptic fundamentalists are going to try to scare you to death with
things like 2012; and two, there will be a tendency for civilizations to
self-destruct during this next year.

Before getting all freaked out, let's remember that the Galactic Underworld
agenda is to break down the National and Planetary Underworld structures
while we recover lost memories from the Regional Underworld. This process
will open space so that we can leap into enlightenment during the Universal
Underworld in 2011!

So, what am I really saying? I am saying that like the survivors of Atlantis
hanging onto floating debris and washing on shore after the cataclysm, you
must utilize your Day Six fruition fragment as your lifeboat. Yes, Night Six
will feel like the fall of Atlantis for many, so just let it fall by
releasing your emotions and your fear! We must surrender to this release so
that the intuitive Regional brain can be accessed again.

Now looking at our New Moon chart, the aspects to the Sun/Moon in 25 Scorpio
are compelling. Regarding Jupiter, Chiron, and Neptune together in Aquarius,
they were in 25-26 Aquarius during May through July 2009, and I'm sure you
remember that period. We found ourselves plunging into deep inner wounds
(Chiron), while our outer boundaries to the spiritual realms were melting
our identities (Neptune), and we kept on expanding our minds and feelings
(Jupiter).

Many people fragmented this summer as if they were having a schizophrenic
breakdown, yet actually they were merely shivering on the dangerous edge of
enlightenment. This same pressure to grow will come on strong again during
this December, when our spiritual growth will intensify even more to prepare
us for the exact conjunctions of Chiron and Neptune during 2010. This New
Moon in Scorpio, which pushes us into the darkest and most fecund parts of
our consciousness, squares the three planets, so it is a clarion call for
the personal attainment of enlightenment.

Our species is evolving to receive Earth's cosmic consciousness, so during
this critical lunation the cosmic jester, Uranus, is poised to dance on the
game board. Uranus in Pisces trines the New Moon, easily probing Scorpio's
dark caves.

Isn't it amazing that Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol is in the reading public's
mind right now, just as the apocalyptic film, 2012, arrives to scare the
pants off the people on the first Friday the 13th of Night Six? [In The
Mayan Code, I commented that the easiest way to imagine how the Global Elite
pulled off 9/11 is to read Dan Brown's Angels and Demons. Now that I've read
The Lost Symbol, I'd say he hints that the Global Elite knows all about the
Mayan Calendar.

Well, any possibility that the 2012 gang would sweep Calleman's discovery
under the rug just ended with the publication of Calleman's latest book, The
Purposeful Universe: How Quantum Theory and Mayan Cosmology Explain the
Origin and Evolution of Life. It is brilliant, a quantum leap beyond his
previous works, and you must read it right away.]

As for me, I didn't learn anything new about how the Global Elite uses old
bones, lost symbols, and musty feathers to control the world. But I bet the
general public will be surprised to see what their tax dollars pay for in
Washington, DC. Good for you, Dan Brown! I continue to honor you as the
great revealer of secrets for the masses during the Galactic Underworld.
Many people will easily see that Hollywood's timing for the release of 2012
shows that these glittery lizards also play games with old bones and
symbols.

Dan Brown missed only one thing in The Lost Symbol: The symbol on the dollar
is the 13-storied pyramid of the Planetary Underworld (AD 1755-2011) with
the Eye of God at the top and the lowest step dated 1776. The Big Boys have
always attempted to divert the public from the real Mayan Calendar
end-date-October 28, 2011. Now they're going all out for it in 2012, the
Enlightenment Bypass.
Uranus in Pisces trining the New Moon at the opening of this film suggests
that the entertainment moguls have gone too far this time. Then, notice that
Uranus in Pisces is in a Grand Trine-New Moon trine the lunar South Node in
23 Cancer trine Uranus. The South Node always reveals the past influences
that are impacting the current moment, so we can be sure that Hollywood is
serving up old, moldy archetypes. Well, the main developments in esoterica
were during the Planetary Underworld, when the Elite utilized the old
symbols of the 5,125-year National Underworld to control the world.

The global elite uses arcane rituals, astrology, sexual deviance, and
violence to control you, while they debunk all these techniques in the
media. They keep these tools that successfully probe the synchronicity plane
all to themselves. Ironically, you don't need skulls and bones or magic,
just consult time acceleration in Calleman's model! This month will be a
great time to access nature's great clarity and open your hearts. Have a
good laugh at the big boys on the game board being swept away in their own
self-created apocalypse. For example, how are they going to explain the Ft.
Hood military massacre to the people in the armed services?

Saturn in Libra exactly squares Pluto in Capricorn, so now the time has come
to use your consciousness to move beyond the box in 3D. Recapping the
current Saturn/Pluto cycle, which began in 1982/83 when Saturn conjoined
Pluto in late Libra, the world economy was just emerging from a strong
recession. A time of limitation and struggle was finishing, and a prosperous
period began that lasted nineteen to twenty years. Saturn in late Aquarius
came to the first squares to Pluto in late Scorpio in 1993-4, when the great
Uranus/Neptune conjunctions occurred that began a new spiritual awakening
cycle.

Growth became more spiritual, and many people really felt the world was
changing for the better. However, with the opposition of Saturn in Gemini to
Pluto in Sagittarius in 2001/02, the force for growth broke with 9/11 and
optimism came to a halt. During these oppositions, gloomy and fearful
pessimism gripped the American public, so the Bushites duped America into a
battle between East and West.

Regardless of who actually pulled off 9/11, the neo-cons used it to create a
systemic fear program to control the public will. They even invented a new
cabinet based solely on fear, the neo-Nazi "Homeland Security". This
fear-based time lock will not lift until the perpetrators are exposed, so
America has been drowning in a weird backwater during the Galactic
Underworld, while the world moves right along.

Well, not much longer. The exact Saturn-square-Pluto in early
Libra/Capricorn on the day before this New Moon will trigger the exposure of
the economic basis of this whole cycle: the US is being bankrupted by the
war economy that was invented in 1982/83 in order to dominate the East so as
to control the world. This ancient struggle between East and West has been
totally revivified, and this weird turn of events does not make sense
without considering Calleman's analysis of history.

During the 5,125-year National Underworld, nations have been pulled into
struggles between East and West that are generated by the midline-12 degrees
east longitude, the power line of the World Tree. [See The Mayan Calendar:
Transformation of Consciousness by Calleman.] Well, the real truth about the
battle between East and West will be revealed during the first
Saturn-upper-square-Pluto in Libra/Capricorn, and during the second and
third ones in January and August 2010.

The East/West struggle, mostly perpetrated by the West (as can be seen by
who is invading whose territory) has been the wasting force of the National
Underworld for 5,125 years. Since the upper and final Saturn/Pluto squares
all occur during Night Six of the Galactic Underworld, we can be sure that
this great struggle will involve great death, mayhem, and plagues. Night Six
of the National Underworld (AD 1225-1617) began with the end of the Crusades
and the Mongol invasions and was characterized by the Inquisition and many
wars and plagues.

The Western powers adopted constant warfare as a defense, yet it is no
defense. This can be seen by what happened at Ft. Hood as the
Saturn-square-Pluto was building. In the New Moon chart, Mercury in wise
early Sagittarius exactly sextiles Saturn in Libra, which means much new
clarity and intelligence is coming in to loosen these locked-up old
struggles.

Mars and Venus in a tight square are very interesting during this lunation.
Mars in Leo takes risks and wants attention for winning, while Venus in
Scorpio favors deep feminine immersion. Venus in Scorpio has a strong will
when faced with the pride of Mars in Leo, so this suggests personal battles
between male and female partners and a tendency for aggression on the world
stage. But, Venus in Scorpio means the truth will come out, that history
will record who really wins and loses this time.

Remember, the forces of the East tend to dominate the West during the Nights
of the Underworlds, so Venus in Scorpio squaring Mars in Leo may mean the
West backs down dramatically during this lunation. Yet, Mars in Leo is in a
wide opposition to Jupiter in Aquarius, which hints at excess and
grandiosity on the world's stage. The most obvious reading of these aspects
would be that soon the West will have to accept reality as it is, which it
has avoided for a long time. Saturn upper square Pluto announces an economic
reckoning, so the financial collapse of the West is probably what will end
the wars. Perhaps the New Moon's Mars in Leo conjuncting Obama's birth Sun
is a sign of how things will play out?

The point is, you are sovereign now, because we are in a chaos field.
Maintain your truth and integrity while the Knights play out their games on
the chessboard.

What twisted webs we do conceive when we practice to deceive. The Horror
House that this country has become, is something that none of us should have
to bear witness to. But I suppose this trial must take place so that all
doubts that 9/11 was committed by a Muslim are laid to rest so that all
evidence to the contrary showing that it was an inside job are also laid to
rest.

Subject: [globalnetnews-summary] A Trial That Will Convict Us All


The Twisted Logic Behind the Prosecution of Khalid Shaikh Mohammed
A Trial That Will Convict Us All
http://www.counterpunch.org/roberts11232009.html
By PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS
November 23, 2009

Republican members of Congress and what masquerades as a "conservative"
media are outraged that the Obama administration intends to try in federal
court Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the alleged mastermind of 9/11, and four
alleged co-conspirators.

The Republican and right-wing rant that a trial is too good for these
people proves what I have written for a number of years:  Republicans and
many Americans who think of themselves as conservatives have no regard for
the US Constitution or for civil liberties.

They have no appreciation for the point made by Thomas Paine in his
Dissertations on First Principles of Government (1790):

     "An avidity to punish is always dangerous to liberty. It leads men to
stretch, to misinterpret, and to misapply even the best of laws. He that
would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from
oppression; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that
will reach to himself."

Republicans and American conservatives regard civil liberties as coddling
devices for criminals and terrorists.  They assume that police and
prosecutors are morally pure and, in addition, never make mistakes.  An
accused person is guilty or government wouldn't have accused him.  All of
my life I have heard self-described conservatives disparage lawyers who
defend criminals.  Such "conservatives" live in an ideal, not real,
world.

Even some of those, such as Stuart Taylor in the National Journal, who
defend giving Mohammed a court trial do so on the grounds that there are no
risks as Mohammed is certain to be convicted and that "a civilian trial
will show Americans and the rest of the world that our government is sure
it can prove the 9/11 defendants guilty in the fairest of all courts."

Taylor agrees that Mohammed deserves "summary execution," but that it
is a good Machiavellian ploy to try Mohammed in civilian court, while
dealing with cases that have "trickier evidentiary problems" in "more
flexible military commissions, away from the brightest spotlights."

In other words, Stuart Taylor and the National Journal endorse Mohammed's
trial as a show trial that will prove both America's honorable respect
for fair trials and Muslim guilt for 9/11.

If, as Taylor writes, "the government's evidence is so strong," why
wasn't Mohammed tried years ago?  Why was he held for years and
tortured--apparently water boarded 183 times--in violation of US law and
the Geneva Conventions? How can the US government put a defendant on trial
when its treatment of him violates US statutory law, international law, and
every precept of the US legal code?  Mohammed has been treated as if he
were a captive of Hitler's Gestapo or Stalin's KGB.  And now we are
going to finish him off in a show trial.

If the barbaric treatment Mohammed has received during his captivity
hasn't driven him insane, how do we know he hasn't decided to confess
in order to obtain for himself for evermore the glory of the deed?  How
many people can claim to have outwitted the CIA, the National Security
Agency and all 16 US intelligence agencies, NORAD, the Pentagon, the
National Security Council, airport security (four times on one morning), US
air traffic control, the US Air Force, the military Joint Chiefs of Staff,
all the neocons, Mossad, and even the supposedly formidable Dick Cheney?

Considering that some Muslims will blow themselves up in order to take out
a handful of Israelis or US and NATO occupation troops, the payoff that
Mohammed will get out of a guilty verdict is enormous.  Are we really sure
we want to create a Muslim Superhero of such stature?

Originally, according to the US government, Osama bin Laden was the
mastermind of 9/11. To get bin Laden is the excuse given for the US
invasion of Afghanistan, which set up the invasion of Iraq. But after eight
years of total failure to catch Osama bin Laden,  it became absolutely
necessary to convict some culprit.

Unfortunately, there will be no such sensible outcome. David Feige has told
us what the outcome will be (Slate, Nov. 19). The prosecution doesn't
need any evidence, because no judge and no jury is going to let the
demonized "mastermind of 9/11" off.  No judge or juror wants to be
forever damned by the brainwashed American public or assassinated by
right-wing crazies.  Keep in mind that the kid, John Walker Lindh, termed
"the American Taliban" by an ignorant and propagandistic US media, was
guilty of nothing except being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Despite the complete trampling of his every right, he got 20 years on a
coerced plea bargain.

The price that Mohammed will pay will be small compared to the price we
Americans will pay. The outcome of Mohammed's trial will complete the
transformation of the US legal system from a shield of the people into a
weapon in the hands of the state. Feige writes that Mohammed's statements
obtained by torture will not be suppressed, that witnesses against him will
not be produced ("national security"), that documents that compromise
the prosecution will be redacted.  At each stage of Mohammed's appeals
process, higher courts will enshrine into legal precedents the denial of
the Constitutional right to a speedy trial, thus enshrining indefinite
detention, the denial of the right against damning pretrial publicity, thus
allowing demonization prior to trial, and the denial of the right to have
witnesses and documents produced, thus eviscerating a defendant's rights
to exculpatory evidence and to confront adverse witnesses, The twisted
logic necessary to disentangle Mohammed's torture from his confession
will also be upheld and will "provide a blueprint for the government,
giving them the prize they've been after all this time--a legal way both
to torture and to prosecute."

It took Hitler a while to corrupt the German courts. Hitler first had to
create new courts, like President George W. Bush's military tribunals,
that did not require evidence, using in place of evidence hearsay, secret
charges, and self-incrimination obtained by torture.

Every American should be concerned that the Obama administration has
decided to use Mohammed's trial to complete the corruption of the
American court system. When Mohammed's trial is over, an American Joe
Stalin or Adolf Hitler will be able to convict America's Founding Fathers
on charges of treason and terrorism.  No one will be safe.

Drug Makers Raise Prices in Face of Health Care Reform
November 16, 2009, New York Times
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/16/business/16drugprices.html

Even as drug makers promise to support Washington’s health care overhaul by
shaving $8 billion a year off the nation’s drug costs after the legislation
takes effect, the industry has been raising its prices at the fastest rate in
years. In the last year, the industry has raised the wholesale prices of
brand-name prescription drugs by about 9 percent, according to industry
analysts. That will add more than $10 billion to the nation’s drug bill, which
is on track to exceed $300 billion this year. By at least one analysis, it is
the highest annual rate of inflation for drug prices since 1992. The drug trend
is distinctly at odds with the direction of the Consumer Price Index, which has
fallen by 1.3 percent in the last year. Critics say the industry is trying to
establish a higher price base before Congress passes legislation that tries to
curb drug spending in coming years. “When we have major legislation
anticipated, we see a run-up in price increases,” says Stephen W.
Schondelmeyer, a professor of pharmaceutical economics at the University of
Minnesota. A Harvard health economist, Joseph P. Newhouse, said he found a
similar pattern of unusual price increases after Congress added drug benefits to
Medicare a few years ago, giving tens of millions of older Americans federally
subsidized drug insurance. Just as the program was taking effect in 2006, the
drug industry raised prices by the widest margin in a half-dozen years. “They
try to maximize their profits,” Mr. Newhouse said.

In House, Many Spoke With One Voice: Lobbyists’
November 15, 2009, New York Times
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/15/us/politics/15health.html

In the official record of the historic House debate on overhauling health care,
the speeches of many lawmakers echo with similarities. Often, that was no
accident. Statements by more than a dozen lawmakers were ghostwritten, in whole
or in part, by Washington lobbyists working for Genentech, one of the world’s
largest biotechnology companies. E-mail messages obtained by The New York Times
show that the lobbyists drafted one statement for Democrats and another for
Republicans. The lobbyists ... were remarkably successful in getting the
statements printed in the Congressional Record under the names of different
members of Congress. Genentech, a subsidiary of the Swiss drug giant Roche,
estimates that 42 House members picked up some of its talking points — 22
Republicans and 20 Democrats, an unusual bipartisan coup for lobbyists. In an
interview, Representative Bill Pascrell Jr., Democrat of New Jersey, said: “I
regret that the language was the same. I did not know it was.” He said he got
his statement from his staff and “did not know where they got the information
from.” In recent years, Genentech’s political action committee and lobbyists
for Roche and Genentech have made campaign contributions to many House members.
And company employees have been among the hosts at fund-raisers for some of
those lawmakers.

Swine flu skepticism demands deft response
November 12, 2009, Reuters News
http://www.reuters.com/article/GCA-SwineFlu/idUSTRE5A52FU20091112

European scientists and health authorities are facing angry questions about why
H1N1 flu has not caused death and destruction on the scale first feared, and
they need to respond deftly to ensure public support. Accusations are flying in
British and French media that the pandemic has been "hyped" by medical
researchers to further their own cause, boost research grants and line the
pockets of drug companies. Britain's Independent newspaper this week asked
"Pandemic? What Pandemic?." France's Le Parisien newspaper ran the headline:
"Swine flu: why the French distrust the vaccine" and noted a gap between the
predicted impact of H1N1 and the less dramatic reality. "Dangerous liaisons
between certain experts, the labs and the government, the obscurity of the
contracts between the state and the pharma firms have added to the doubt." In
Britain, health authorities' original worst-case scenario -- which said as many
as 65,000 could die from H1N1 -- has twice been revised down and the prediction
is now for around 1,000 deaths, way below the average annual toll of 4,000 to
8,000 deaths from seasonal winter flu.

Note: It's quite interesting and telling that a thorough Internet seach showed
that no major media

Signs That Swine Flu Has Peaked
November 20, 2009, New York Times
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/21/health/21flu.html

Although federal health officials decline to use the word “peaked,” the
current wave of swine flu appears to have done so in the United States. Flu
activity is coming down in all regions of the country, the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention said Friday, though it is still rising in Hawaii, Maine
and some isolated areas. The World Health Organization said Friday that there
were “early signs of a peak” in much of the United States. On Wednesday, the
American College Health Association, which surveys over 250 colleges with more
than three million students, said new cases of flu had dropped in the week
ending Nov. 13. It was the first drop since school resumed in the fall, and it
was significant — new cases were down 27 percent from the week before. And on
Friday, Quest Diagnostics, the country’s largest laboratory, said its tests of
142,000 suspected flu specimens since May showed that the flu peaked in late
October. Nonetheless, Dr. Anne Schuchat, the director of immunization and
respiratory diseases at the C.D.C., chose her words carefully, saying: “I wish
I knew if we had hit the peak. Even if a peak has occurred, half the people who
are going to get sick haven’t gotten sick yet.” The drop was clearly not
caused by the swine flu vaccine drive, which has not gone as fast as the
authorities had hoped.

Note: Just like the avian flu scare a few years ago, the swine flu hype has
turned out to be largely a whimper, yet the pharmaceutical companies are happy,
as again they have made billions of dollars from the massive amonts of vaccines
and drugs purchased by the government with your tax dollars. For more, click

Skull and Bones members include some of America's most powerful
November 12, 2009, CNN
http://www.edition.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0911/12/ec.01.html

What really happens behind the padlocked doors of this windowless building, [the
home] of Skull and Bones, Yale's oldest secret society? Its members include some
of America's most powerful and privileged elite all sworn to secrecy. [CAMPBELL]
BROWN: Alexandra Robbins broke through the wall of silence to write 
<http://www.amazon.com/Secrets-Tomb-Skull-League-Hidden/dp/0316735612/ref=sr_1_1\
?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1258739477&sr=1-1> Secrets of the Tomb based on clandestine
interviews with dozens of bonesmen. Only 15 [Yale students] get picked each
year. The society includes at least three U.S. presidents, Supreme Court
justices, and too many senators and CEOs to name. In 2004, Bush versus Kerry was
the first all-bonesmen presidential election. ALEXANDRA ROBBINS: Skull and
Bones' only purpose is to get its members into positions of prominence around
the world so that they can elevate other members to similar positions. One of
the first activities they participate in is called connubial bliss, where ...
each member must spend an evening standing in front of the other 14 bonesmen and
recount his or her entire sexual and romantic history. BROWN: According to one
... story, Prescott Bush, George W. Bush's grandfather, was part of a group that
broke into the Oklahoma burial place of the Apache chief Geronimo and made off
with his skull. Geronimo's grave was disturbed back in 1918, there are photos of
skulls inside the "Skull and Bones" tomb. They have their own private retreat.
Deer Island off the coast of New York. And a world of ready investors and

Stop Annual Mammograms, Govt. Panel Tells Women Under 50
November 16, 2009, ABC News

<http://abcnews.go.com/Health/OnCallPlusBreastCancerNews/mammogram-guidelines-sp\
ur-debate-early-detection/story?id=9099145>

For the first time in 20 years, a government panel is telling women in their
[forties] to stop getting routine mammograms and recommending that a host of
other breast cancer screenings slow down. The United States Preventive Service
Task Force announced ... that it recommends against annual mammograms for women
age 40 to 49 because, they say, the benefits of testing do not outweigh the
"harms" and risks. USPSTF still recommends doctors start screening all women
over age 50, but with a mammogram once every two years instead of annually. The
task force also ... said evidence was insufficient to recommend mammograms for
women older than 74. The recommendations announced today, which contradict the
American Cancer Society, have already pitted doctors, women, insurers and
radiology groups in a fierce debate about who should get a mammogram and when.
Many patient advocates wonder if money fueled the decision. However, Dr. Diana
Petitti, vice chair of USPSTF, said the task force never looked at costs in
their research or their recommendations. Instead, the task force reviewed a
number of studies to compile the benefits of mammograms, such as how many
cancers were detected and how many lives were saved, and the harms of
mammograms, such as how many false positives popped up, how many unnecessary
tests were done and how much extra radiation women were exposed to during the
false positive testing.

Plastic chemicals 'feminise boys'
November 16, 2009, BBC News
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/8361863.stm

Chemicals in plastics alter the brains of baby boys, making them "more
feminine", say US researchers. Males exposed to high doses in the womb went on
to be less likely to play with boys' toys like cars or to join in rough and
tumble games, they found. The University of Rochester team's latest work adds to
concerns about the safety of phthalates, found in vinyl flooring and PVC shower
curtains. The findings are reported in the International Journal of Andrology.
Phthalates have the ability to disrupt hormones, and have been banned in toys in
the EU for some years. There are many different types and some mimic the female
hormone oestrogen. The same researchers have already shown that this can mean
boys are born with genital abnormalities. Now they say certain phthalates also
impact on the developing brain, by knocking out the action of the male hormone
testosterone. Dr Shanna Swan and her team ... found that two phthalates DEHP and
DBP can affect play behaviour. Boys exposed to high levels of these in the womb
were less likely than other boys to play with cars, trains and guns or engage in
"rougher" games like playfighting. Elizabeth Salter-Green, director of the
chemicals campaign group CHEM Trust, said the results were worrying. "We now
know that phthalates, to which we are all constantly exposed, are extremely
worrying from a health perspective, leading to disruption of male reproduction
health and, it appears, male behaviour too."

Biotech crops cause big jump in pesticide use: report
November 17, 2009, Reuters News
http://www.reuters.com/article/environmentNews/idUSTRE5AG0QY20091117

The rapid adoption by U.S. farmers of genetically engineered corn, soybeans and
cotton has promoted increased use of pesticides, an epidemic of
herbicide-resistant weeds and more chemical residues in foods, according to a
report ... by health and environmental protection groups. The groups said
research showed that herbicide use grew by 383 million pounds from 1996 to 2008,
with 46 percent of the total increase occurring in 2007 and 2008. The report was
released by nonprofits The Organic Center <http://www.organic-center.org/> 
(TOC), the Union for Concerned Scientists <http://www.ucsusa.org/>  (UCS) and
the Center <http://www.foodsafetynow.org/>  for Food Safety (CFS). The groups
said that [there is] a net overall increase on U.S. farm fields of 318 million
pounds of pesticides, which includes insecticides and herbicides, over the first
13 years of commercial use. The rise in herbicide use comes as U.S. farmers
increasingly adopt corn, soy and cotton that have been engineered with traits
that allow them to tolerate dousings of weed killer. The report by the
environmental groups states that a key problem resulting from the increase in
herbicide use is the emergence of "super weeds," which are difficult to kill
because they have become resistant to the herbicides. "This report confirms what
we've been saying for years," said Bill Freese, science policy analyst for the
Center for Food Safety. "The most common type of genetically engineered crops
promotes increased use of pesticides, an epidemic of resistant weeds, and more
chemical residues in our foods. This may be profitable for the biotech/pesticide
companies, but it's bad news for farmers, human health and the environment."

Questions for a Trade Official
November 4, 2009, New York Times
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/04/opinion/04wed4.html

When Islam Siddiqui appears for his Senate confirmation, possibly as early as
next week, it will be time for some tough questions. The White House has
nominated Mr. Siddiqui for the position of chief agricultural negotiator in the
office of the United States trade representative. He is presently a vice
president at CropLife America, a coalition of the major industrial players in
the pesticide industry, including Syngenta, Monsanto, Dow Chemical and DuPont.
That job doesn’t seem to square with the Obama administration’s professed
interest in more sustainable, less chemically dependent approaches to
agriculture. Nor does much of the rest of Mr. Siddiqui’s résumé. The White
House has touted his role in the first phase of developing national organic
standards. But those standards, as they first emerged in draft form in the
Clinton years, were notoriously loose about allowing genetically engineered
crops and the use of sewage-sludge fertilizers to be labeled as “organic.”
But the business of [Siddiqui's] CropLife — an arm of which openly scoffed at
Michelle Obama’s plans for an organic garden — is to increase exports of
agricultural chemicals.

State to 'spy' on every phone call, email and web search

Every phone call, text message, email and website visit made by private citizens
is to be stored for a year and will be available for monitoring by government
bodies. All telecoms companies and internet service providers will be required
by law to keep a record of every customer’s personal communications, showing
who they have contacted, when and where, as well as the websites they have
visited. Despite widespread opposition to the increasing amount of surveillance
in Britain, 653 public bodies will be given access to the information, including
police, local councils, the Financial Services Authority, the ambulance service,
fire authorities and even prison governors. They will not require the permission
of a judge or a magistrate to obtain the information, but simply the
authorisation of a senior police officer or the equivalent of a deputy head of
department at a local authority. The Government announced yesterday it was
pressing ahead with privately held “Big Brother” databases that opposition
leaders said amounted to “state-spying” and a form of “covert
surveillance” on the public. It is doing so despite its own consultation
showing that it has little public support. The new rules ... will not only force
communications companies to keep their records for longer, but to expand the
type of data they keep to include details of every website their customers
visit.

long as foreign troops are in the country we will be fighting two enemies
instead of one." Yes, she says, there is a risk of civil war ... but it would
still be better than "night raids, torture and aerial bombardment" that killed
hundreds of Afghan civilians while the Taliban made steady gains. "Liberation
was just a big lie." Joya believes Afghans are now better prepared to battle the
Taliban alone. "resistance has increased, and people are becoming more aware of
democracy and human rights. They need humanitarian and educational support." But

Labor Fight Ends in Win for Students
November 18, 2009, New York Times
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/18/business/18labor.html

The anti-sweatshop movement at dozens of American universities, from Georgetown
to U.C.L.A., has had plenty of idealism and energy, but not many victories.
Until now. Its pressure tactics persuaded one of the nation’s leading
sportswear companies, Russell Athletic, to agree to rehire 1,200 workers in
Honduras who lost their jobs when Russell closed their factory soon after the
workers had unionized. From the time Russell shut the factory last January, the
anti-sweatshop coalition orchestrated a nationwide campaign against the company.
Most important, the coalition, United Students Against Sweatshops
<http://usas.org/> , persuaded the administrations of Boston College, Columbia,
Harvard, New York University, Stanford, Michigan, North Carolina and 89 other
colleges and universities to sever or suspend their licensing agreements with
Russell. Student activists picketed the N.B.A. finals in Orlando and Los Angeles
this year to protest the league’s licensing agreement with Russell. In its
agreement, not only did Russell agree to reinstate the dismissed workers and
open a new plant in Honduras as a unionized factory, it also pledged not to
fight unionization at its seven existing factories there. “For us, it was very
important to receive the support of the universities,” Moises Alvarado,
president of the union at the closed plant in Choloma, said. “We are impressed
by the social conscience of the students in the United States.”

New nonprofit uses Web to pressure Chevron
November 16, 2009, San Francisco Chronicle (San Francisco's leading newspaper)
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/11/15/BUCM1AJM61.DTL

Retired retail executive Richard Goldman was astonished when he heard about the
$27 billion pollution lawsuit against Chevron Corp. in Ecuador. Astonished at
the soil and water contamination surrounding Ecuador's oil fields. And
astonished that he'd never heard of it before. So Goldman, one of the founders
of the Men's Wearhouse clothing chain, has created a nonprofit group that will
use social-networking tools to spread word of the case and put pressure on
Chevron. The group, Ethos Alliance, will ask visitors to its Web site to tell
others about the issue, hoping that viral communication via the Internet will
reach people that news stories about the suit haven't. The site will raise money
for humanitarian relief projects in Ecuador's oil patch, encouraging visitors to
donate $5 apiece to build a water treatment plant and buy medicine for a health
clinic. The Web site, www.ethosalliance.org, goes online today. Ethos also will
urge Chevron to settle the long-running lawsuit, something the San Ramon company
has vowed not to do. Ethos plans to tackle other issues of corporate
responsibility in the future, uniting the alliance's online members with
businesses willing to join the cause. Ethos is the latest example of social or
political causes using social networking to increase their reach. Earlier this
year, a one-day fundraising effort organized via Twitter collected $250,000 for
drinking water projects in the developing world.

Could This Lump Power the Planet?
November 14, 2009, NewsWeek magazine
http://www.newsweek.com/id/222792

When I meet [Edward] Moses [at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory], the
60-year-old scientist ... shows me a tiny pellet ... and swears it will provide
an endless supply of safe, clean energy. The pellet Moses holds is a model, but
the real version will contain a few milligrams of deuterium and tritium,
isotopes of hydrogen that can be extracted from water. If you blast the pellet
with a powerful laser, you can create a reaction like the one that takes place
at the center of the sun. Harness that reaction, and you've created a star on
earth, and with the heat from that star you can generate electricity without
creating any pollution. Forget about nuke plants, coal, oil, or wind and solar.
"This is the real solar power," says Moses. What Moses is talking about is
controlled nuclear fusion. Instead of splitting the nucleus of an atom, you're
trying to force a deuterium nucleus to merge, or fuse, with a tritium nucleus.
When that happens, you produce helium and throw off energy. Scientists have been
trying to produce energy with fusion for decades. So far, they keep failing. The
joke is that fusion energy is only 40 years away, and will always be only 40
years away. Moses believes, however, that his lab, which is called the National
Ignition Facility, or NIF, has cracked the problem. The big challenge fusion has
faced is lack of power. NIF's laser ... can produce 60 times more energy than
any other laser ever built. Right now it's still being tested. But next year
Moses and his scientists will fire it up with a full load of deuterium-tritium
fuel, and Moses feels confident it will achieve "ignition," meaning a controlled
burn in which you get out more energy than you put in.

Triumph of a Dreamer
November 15, 2009, New York Times
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/15/opinion/15kristof.html

Any time anyone tells you that a dream is impossible, any time you’re
discouraged by impossible challenges, just mutter this mantra: Tererai Trent. Of
all the people earning university degrees this year, perhaps the most remarkable
story belongs to Tererai, a middle-aged woman. When you hear that foreign-aid
groups just squander money or build dependency, remember [her story]. Tererai
was born in a village in rural Zimbabwe, probably sometime in 1965, and attended
elementary school for less than one year. Her father married her off when she
was about 11 to a man who beat her regularly. A dozen years passed. Jo Luck, the
head of an aid group called Heifer <http://www.heifer.org/>  International,
passed through the village and told the women there that they should stand up,
nurture dreams, change their lives. Inspired, Tererai ... wrote that she wanted
to study abroad, and to earn a B.A., a master’s and a doctorate. In 1998 she
was accepted to Oklahoma State University. Heifer helped with the plane tickets,
Tererai’s mother sold a cow, and neighbors sold goats to help raise money.
With $4,000 in cash wrapped in a stocking and tied around her waist, Tererai set
off for Oklahoma. At one point the university tried to expel Tererai for falling
behind on tuition payments. A university official, Ron Beer, intervened on her
behalf and rallied the faculty and community behind her with donations and
support. “I saw that she had enormous talent,” Dr. Beer said. Tererai
excelled at school, pursuing a Ph.D at Western Michigan University and writing a
dissertation on AIDS prevention in Africa even as she began working for Heifer
as a program evaluator.

"We are simply talking about the very life support system of this
planet".
Professor Joachim Schellnhuber, Director, Potsdam Institute of Climate
Impact, and chief climate science advisor of the German Government.

"The pace and scale of climate change may now be outstripping even the
most sobering previous predictions"
United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), Intergovernmental Panel of
Climate Change (IPCC).

"The time for hesitation is over"
United Nations Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon.

"The clock is ticking for the planet"
Kevin Rudd


Summary

With the exception of rapid atmospheric changes triggered by major volcanic
events, asteroid impacts and methane release, which led to the great mass
extinction of species, the current rate of CO2 rise (2005-08: 1.66-2.55
ppm/year) is unprecedented in the recent history of the Earth, driving
polar ice melt and sea level rise rates in excess of IPCC projections.
Warming of large parts of the Arctic and Antarctic circles by 3-4 degrees C
during 1975-2009 (~0.09-0.12 degrees C/year) triggers fast feedback
effects from ice melt, albedo loss and open water infrared absorption, and
from the carbon cycle. Estimates of future sea level rise derived from 40
years records (1.6-3.7 mm/year), glacier flow rates and ice shelf collapse
dynamics, and yet little-quantified positive feedbacks, render exponential
to non-linear sea level rise on the scale of tens of meters over the next
few centuries possible. The rise in the oceans heat content (1950-2004:
16.10^22 Joules), lowered pH (8.2 - 8.1), and enhancement of the CO3(-2) to
HCO3(-) transition, threatens algae, calcifying plankton and reef habitats
from shallow habitats to abyssal depths [2].

The best outcomes of the looming Copenhagen climate summit, 25 percent
carbon emission reduction relative to 1990 levels, would be unable to
arrest the rise of mean global temperatures over 2 degrees Celsius relative
to pre-industrial levels. The rise in CO2 emissions by 41% since 1990 [3]
and continuing land clearing go counter to the urgently required measures
at mitigation, massive reforestation, revegetation, application of biochar
and chemical draw-down of atmospheric CO2. While governments vie to vested
interests and economists calculate the price of the Earth, a denial
syndrome underpinned by an ideology of human mastery over nature is
enhanced by a massive disinformation campaign by contrarians who ignore the
basic laws of physics and chemistry and falsify climate data.

It is quite evident to me that we must move beyond recycling and move into
"waste elimination" and concentrated efforts must be made to do this.

A message to all members of The Foresight Network




Non-Western Futurists: The next edition of Green Futures
(www.forumforthefuture.org.uk/greenfutures), the sustainable development
magazine, will have a special feature on futures.
They are writing an article on the field of futures and what's happening in it.
They'd like to feature the comments of a few eminent futurists from around the
globe, and wondered whether you'd have 10 minutes to talk to them? They're
asking 2 questions:

1) How has the field of futures thinking changed in the past 5 years, and how
do you anticipate it changing in the future?

2) What one possible trend for the future is currently seriously overlooked or
not widely discussed?

Please mailto:mike.jackson@...
expressing an interest to be interviewed.

  <http://ga3.org/ct/EprffIp1WrSt/> Whatever Happened to the CIA Black Sites?

Whatever happened to the so-called "black sites," where suspected terrorists
were held overseas by the CIA and submitted to harsh interrogations that
included torture? On April 9, CIA chief Leon Panetta issued a statement
<http://ga3.org/ct/U7rffIp1WrS6/>  notifying CIA employees that the agency
no longer operates black sites and has proposed a plan to decommission the
facilities. Since then, lawyers for several terrorism suspects have been
trying to determine the status of the sites as they seek evidence for their
cases. But with the US government refusing to discuss what it has done with
these secret detention facilities, their ultimate fate remains in the dark.

Moving Into: TOTAL WELLNESS

While Richard C. Cook makes some good point here, one of the problems I see
is that the U. S. economy has been for years based on created bubbles and
has never been on solid ground. The auto industry, which has been one of the
mainstays of the U.S. economy along with production for the
military-industrial complex, has always been based on built-in obsolescence
to keep it going -- a practice which is based on waste creation in order to
keep the money flowing. If automobiles had been produced to last, the number
of jobs necessary for economic stability could not have been maintained
since there would have been less turn-over as people held on to their cars
over a longer period of time. And, with regard to the military-industrial
complex, the CIA has had the job of continually perpetuating war in order to
keep up the demand for those who wage them, along with the necessary
technologies with which to fight them.

So, there has been no real authentic basis for economic viability for many
years, if ever, since it has for so long been based on created bubbles in
order to create jobs in order to survive. And a law of physics that we must
face is that "what goes up must come down" and corruption within the system
is not a factor that can be relied upon to provide stability.

Attempting to return to such a system in order to right what has gone wrong
is simply flawed thinking which resulted in Daniel Quinn's remark in the
video "What a Way To Go"
"We cannot take the building blocks out from the basement and attempt to
build a second story with them." People must be able to return to raising
their own food and not be reliant on jobs to keep them in the money in order
to be able to purchase what they need. This means we must have "land reform"
which returns the land to the people for sustenance farming, and takes it
out of the hands of the large agriculturists who are now able to farm and
ranch thousands of acres with only 6-8 people due to advances in technology
and the ability of heavy equipment to do what the hands of people were able
to do at an earlier time. With technology as the prime factor in this
scenario, our food chain has become poisoned to the extent that it is
virtually non-edible when coupled with the factor of soils depletion figured
in, revealing that that almost no vitamins and minerals are left in them to
provide nourishment for us from the foods raised.

What this is telling us is that we are not only economically bankrupt, we
are also ecologically bankrupt. Thus our immediate attention must turn
toward restoration of our fragile ecosystems in order to restore and
maximize the carrying capacity of them.  This means eliminating large scale
agriculture practices and returning the land to the people who will love and
care for it as once did the Native Americans. This does not mean that we
should eliminate technology all together, but we must ensure that what we
use is "appropriate technology" not "run-a-way technology."

The Economic Crisis And What Must Be Done
http://www.countercurrents.org/cook241109.htm
By Richard C. Cook
24 November, 2009

The United States does not control its own destiny. Rather it is controlled
by an international financial elite, of which the American branch works out
of big New York banks like J.P. Morgan Chase, Wall Street investment firms
such as Goldman Sachs, and the Federal Reserve System. They in turn control
the White House, Congress, the military, the mass media, the intelligence
agencies, both political parties, the universities, etc. No one can rise to
the top in any of these institutions without the elite�s stamp of
approval.

This elite has been around since the nation began, becoming increasingly
dominant as the 19th century progressed. A key date was passage of the
National Banking Act of 1863, when the system was put into place whereby
federal government debt was used to collateralize bank lending. Since then
we�ve paid the freight through our taxes for bank control of the economy.
The final nails in the coffin came with the passage of the Federal Reserve
Act of 1913.

In 1929 the bankers plunged the nation into the Great Depression by
constricting the money supply. With Franklin D. Roosevelt as president, the
nation struggled through the decade of the 1930s but did not pull out of
the Depression until the industrial explosion during World War II.

After the war came the Golden Age of the U.S. economy, when the working
man, protected by strong labor unions, became a true partner in the
prosperity of the industrial age. That era lasted a full generation. The
bankers were largely spectators as Americans led the world in exports,
standard of living, science and space exploration, and every measure of
health, longevity, and culture.

Roosevelt had kept the bankers subservient to the interests of the economy
at large. The Federal Reserve was part of the New Deal team, and interest
rates were held at historic lows despite a large federal deficit. One main
impact was the huge increase in home ownership. After World War II, the
G.I. Bill allowed home ownership to grow further and millions of veterans
to attend college. The influx of educated graduates led to productivity
growth and the emergence of new high-tech industries.

But the bankers were laying their plans. In the early 1950s they got the
government to agree to allow the Federal Reserve to escape its subservience
to the U.S. Treasury Department and set interest rates on its own. Rates
rose throughout the 1950s and 1960s. By the time of the interest rate hikes
of 1968, the economy was slowing down. Both federal budget and trade
deficits were beginning to replace the post-war surpluses. High interest
rates were the likely cause.

In 1971, President Richard Nixon removed the dollar�s gold peg, allowing
the huge inflation resulting from oil price increases that the
international bankers engineered through control of U.S. foreign policy
when Henry Kissinger was national security adviser and secretary of state.
Nixon�s opening to China resulted in early agreements, also overseen by
banking interests, to begin to transfer U.S. industry to overseas producers
like China which had cheap labor costs.

By the mid-1970s, the U.S. had been taken over by a behind the scenes
coup-d�etat that included events in 1963 when President John F. Kennedy
was assassinated by a conspiracy that could only have been instigated by
the highest levels of world financial control. In the election of 1976,
David Rockefeller succeeded in placing fellow Trilateral Commission member
Jimmy Carter in the White House, but Carter upset the banking community,
thoroughly Zionist in orientation, by working toward peace in the Middle
East and elsewhere.

I was working in the Carter White House in 1979-80. Unbeknownst to the
president, Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker, another Rockefeller
prot�g�, suddenly raised interest rates to fight the inflation the
bankers had caused by the OPEC oil price deals, and plunged the nation into
recession. Carter was made to look weak and uninformed and was defeated in
the election of 1980 by Republican candidate Ronald Reagan. It was through
the �Reagan Revolution� that the regulatory controls over the banking
industry were lifted, mainly in allowing the banks to use their fractional
reserve privileges in making mortgage loans.

Volcker�s recession shattered American manufacturing and hastened the
flight of jobs abroad. Under the �Reagan Doctrine,� the U.S. military
embarked on an unprecedented mission of world conquest by attacking one
small nation at a time, starting with Nicaragua. Global capitalism was also
on the march, with the U.S. armed forces its own private police force. With
the invasion of Iraq under George H.W. Bush in 1991, mainland Asia was
revealed as the principle target.

The economy was floated by productivity gains through computer automation
and a huge sell-off of assets through the merger-acquisition bubble of the
late 1980s which ended in a recession. This resulted in the defeat of Bush
by Bill Clinton in the election of 1992. Clinton was able to create another
bubble through a strong dollar policy that attracted foreign capital.

The dot-com bubble that resulted lasted all the way through to the crash of
December 2000. Meanwhile, the U.S. Air Force led the way in the destruction
of the sovereign state of Yugoslavia, whereby the international bankers
took over the resource wealth of the entire Balkan region, and the U.S.
military gained forward bases for further incursions into Asia.

Do we need to say that none of this was ever voted on by the American
electorate? But they bought into it nevertheless, both with their silence
and through participation in a generally favorable job market in the
emerging service occupations, particularly finance.

By the time George W. Bush was inaugurated president in January 2001, the
U.S. was facing a disaster. $4 trillion in wealth had vanished when the
dot.com bubble collapsed. NAFTA caused even more American manufacturing
jobs to disappear abroad. The Neocons who were moving into key jobs in the
Pentagon knew they would soon have new wars to fight in the Middle East,
with invasion plans for Afghanistan and Iraq ready to be pulled off the
shelf.

But the U.S. had no economic engine available to generate the tax revenues
Bush would need for the planned wars. At this moment Chairman Alan
Greenspan of the Federal Reserve stepped in. Over a two year period from
2001-2003 the Fed lowered interest rates by over 500 basis points.
Meanwhile, the federal government removed all regulatory controls on
mortgage lending, and the housing bubble was on. $4 trillion in new home
loans were pumped into the economy, much of it through subprime loans
borrowers could not afford.

The Fed began to put on the brakes in 2003, but the mighty work of
re-floating a moribund economy had been accomplished. By late 2006 another
recession loomed, but it would take two more years before the crisis of
October 2008 brought the entire system down.

The impact on the job market was immediate and profound. By the time Barack
Obama was elected president in November 2008, the U.S. was mired in
seemingly endless wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the worst recession
since the Great Depression was picking up speed. In order to prevent total
disaster, the Bush administration ended its eight years of catastrophic
misrule with a flourish, by allocating over $700 billion in financial
system bailouts to cover the bad loans the banks had been making since
Greenspan gave the housing bubble the green light.

It is now November 2009. Since Barack Obama was inaugurated in January,
unemployment has soared from 7.9 percent to 10.2 percent. A few hundred
billion dollars were allocated for �stimulus� purposes, but most of
that went to pay unemployment benefits and to keep state and local
governments from laying off more employees.

A fraction has been distributed for highway improvements, but largely
through the bank bailouts the federal deficit has been running at an annual
rate of $1.5 trillion, by far the largest in history, with the national
debt now topping $12 trillion. Ironically, those Americans who still have
productive jobs continue to grow in efficiency, with productivity up over
five percent in the last year.

So much federal money has been spent that the Obama administration has been
struggling to make its health care proposals budget-neutral through a raft
of new taxes, fees, and penalties, and by announcing in recent days that
the government� first priority must now shift to deficit reduction. The
word �austerity� has been mentioned for the first time since the Carter
administration. Yet Congress voted $655 billion in military expenditures to
continue fighting in the Middle East. A U.S. military attack on Iran,
possibly in conjunction with Israel, would surprise no one.

So where do we now stand?

At present, the Federal Reserve is trying to prevent a total economic
collapse. Interest rates are near-zero, to the chagrin of foreign investors
in U.S. Treasury securities, and close to half of new Treasury debt
instruments have been bought by the Federal Reserve itself as a way of
providing free money for federal government expenditures.

But the U.S. economy shows no signs of coming back, with no economic driver
emerging that could bring it back. For all the talk about alternative
energy, there has been no significant growth of any home-grown industry
that could possibly make up so much lost ground in either the short or the
long-term.

The industries in the U.S. that are holding up are the military, including
arms exports, universities that are attracting large numbers of students
from abroad, especially China, and health care, especially for the aging
baby boomer population. But the war industry produces nothing with a
long-term economic benefit, and health care exists mainly to treat sick
people, not produce anything new.

None of this provides a foundation that can bring about a restoration of
prosperity to 300 million people when the jobs of making articles of
consumption are increasingly scarce. On top of everything else, since
government inevitably looks to its own requirements first, the total tax
burden continues to increase to the point where the average employee now
pays close to 50 percent of his or her income on taxes of all types,
including federal and state income taxes, real estate taxes, payroll taxes,
excise taxes, government fees, etc. Plus the cost of utilities continues to
rise steadily and threatens to skyrocket if cap-and-trade legislation is
passed.

The Obama administration has no plans to deal with any of this. They have
projected a budget for 15 years hence that shows the budget deficit
decreasing and tax revenues going way up, but it is all lies. They have no
roadmap for getting us there and no plans for following the roadmap if it
portrayed a realistic goal. And yet the U.S. military is still trying to
conquer Asia. It is madness.

And it is madness because the big decisions are not made by the U.S., by
Congress, or by the Obama administration. The U.S. has, for half-a-century,
been marching to the tune played by the international financial elite, and
this fact did not change with the election of 2008. The financiers have put
the people of this nation $57 trillion in debt, according to the latest
reports, counting debt at the federal, state, business, and household
levels. Interest alone on this debt is over $3 trillion of a GDP of $14
trillion. Failure of our political leadership to deal with this tragedy
over the past three decades is nothing less than treason.

But then again, at some point the decision was made that the U.S. and its
population would be discarded by history, the economic status of the nation
reduced to a shadow of what it once was, but that its military machine
would be used for the financial elite�s takeover of the world until it is
replaced by that of some other nation. All indications are that the next
country up to bat as military enforcer for the financiers is China.

There you have it. That, in my opinion, is the past, present, and future of
this nation in a nutshell. Great evils have been done in the world in the
last century, and there is nothing anyone can do about it.

Except�. and that�s what each person caught up in these travesties must
decide. What are you going to do about it?

In mulling over this question, it would be wise to recognize that the
dominance of the financial elite has largely been exercised through their
control of the international monetary system based on bank lending and
government debt. Therefore it�s through the monetary system that change
can and must be made.

The progressives are wrong to think the government should go deeper in debt
to create more jobs. This will just create an even deeper hole of debt
future generations will have to crawl out of.

Rather the key is monetary reform, whether at the local or national levels.
People have lost control of their ability to earn a living. But change
could be accomplished through sovereign control by people and nations of
the monetary means of exchange.

This control has been stolen. It is time to take it back. One way would be
for the federal government to make a relief payment to each adult of $1,000
a month until the crisis lifted. This money could be earmarked for goods
and services produced within the U.S. and used to capitalize a new series
of community development banks. I have called this the �Cook Plan.�

The plan could be funded through direct payment from a Treasury relief
account without new taxes or government borrowing. The payments would be
balanced on the credit side by GDP growth or be used by individuals to pay
off debt. It would be direct government spending as was done with
Greenbacks before and after the Civil War without significant inflation.

Another method increasingly being used within the U.S. today is local and
regional credit clearing exchanges and the use of local currencies or
�scrip.� Use of such currencies could be enhanced by legislation at the
state and federal levels allowing these currencies to be used for payment
of taxes and government fees as well as payment of mortgages and other
forms of bank debt. The credit clearing exchanges could be organized as
private non-profit regional currency co-operatives similar to credit
unions.

These would be immediate emergency measures. In the longer run, sovereign
control of money and credit must be returned to the public commons and
treated as public utilities. This does not mean exclusive government
control to replace bank control. As stated previously, it would be done in
partnership between government and private trade exchanges. Nor does it
mean government takeover of business, industry, or the banking system,
though all should be regulated for the common good and fairly taxed.

This program would lead to a new monetary paradigm where money and credit
would be available by, as, when, and where needed, to facilitate trade
between and among legitimate producers of goods and services. In this way
trade and commerce will come to serve human freedom, not diminish it as is
done with today�s dysfunctional partnership between big government
trillions of dollars in debt and big finance with the entire world in hock.

Such a change would be a true populist revolution.

issues. He is an advisor to the American Monetary Institute on its model
monetary reform legislation soon to be introduced in Congress. His latest
book is We Hold These Truths: The Hope of Monetary Reform. His website is

Personally I see nothing really sustainable being practiced by this
organization which I compare to the coal companies that are lobbying to stay
in business by trying to tell we-the-people that mining coal is in the best
interests of the country.   When we know that raising beef cattle uses up so
much of our resourses, e.g., water - 2800 gallons for each pound of beef to
market, we know something is wrong.  More later on this.

Social enterprise to the rescue?


  <http://www.shapingtomorrow.com/trendAlert.cfm?id=5225>


There has been much talk, in the wake of the financial crisis, of a new normal
emerging; more regulation; doing things differently. One aspect of that new
normal could be the emergence of more social enterprises and greater incentive
for social investment.

We have written a  <http://www.shapingtomorrow.com/trendAlert.cfm?id=5225>
summary of what is changing in the world of social enterprise and why we think
it is important.

Moving Into: TOTAL WELLNESS



With regard to this article, I suggest reading Lynne McTaggart’s books: 
“The Field” and “The Intention Experiments”.  Both books document
extraordinary scientific experiments related to remote viewing and other events
termed “paranormal.”   Remote viewing ability is related to a particular
state of mind which is called the “Theta State”.  The theta state is the
state into which one enters  just before falling asleep – and the ability to
remote view, or follow one’s brain waves  as they travel throughout the
Universe, is accomplished by learning to remain in this state without falling
asleep and then “focusing” on a particular target area.



Related to remote viewing is the subject of life after death and recommended
reading on this is contained in Dr. Gary Schwartz’ research at the Veritas
Project at the University of Arizona.   http://veritas.arizona.edu/     Dr.
Schwartz is also the author of “The Afterlife Experiments”.



My comment on these subjects is that for too long religion, and in particular
Christianity, has separated us from the truth of who we are as the priests of
old have sought to exert mind control over us in order to keep us from this
knowledge.  One of the great falsities associated with the Church is the denial
of reincarnation especially in the face of so much knowledge being revealed
today.  It is time to take away the veil and reveal who we truly are in all of
our magnificence.



I very much take exception to Fred Burke’s use of the work “bizarre” in
the subject line above – it is high time we recognized our abilities and made
moves to strengthen them.   In her book “Infinite Mind” Dr. Valerie V. Hunt
writes that the only reason we are unable to “self heal” is that for so long
we have been separated from the knowledge of who we are and how we operate, and
thus have forgotten how to manage the subtle energy vibrations of the body in a
way that allows us to do this.   It is time for us to begin “re-membering.”

for Spying

Dear friends,

Remote viewing involves a set of precise protocols used by the U.S. military and
CIA to develop psychic spies. As bizarre as it may seem, top government
officials have dabbled in ESP and the psychic realm for many decades. Though the
government officially denied the existence of such programs for decades, secret
documents now declassified show that the first government-sponsored remote
viewing program began in 1970.

Remote <http://www.fas.org/irp/program/collect/stargate.htm>  viewing is a
technique whereby trained individuals enter into a meditative state to access
subtle levels of consciousness in which they are able to somehow sense remote
locations and describe what they see there. The ability to view objects remotely
has clear advantages for intelligence gathering. A good example of how this is
done can be seen in the four-minute news clip at the link below.

  <http://www.personalgrowthcourses.net/video/remote_viewing_helicopter_video>
www.personalgrowthcourses.net/video/remote_viewing_helicopter_video

For a more detailed description of remote viewing and how it is accomplished,
see the excellent explanation on the website of the International Remote Viewing
Association available here <http://irva.org/remote-viewing/definition.html> .

The original impetus for U.S. remote viewing programs was the discovery by
military and intelligence services in the 1960s that the Soviets were spending
millions of dollars and having considerable success in using ESP and psychic
spies to break through U.S. security barriers. Not wanting to be left behind in
any spying or intelligence capability, no matter how exotic, top government
officials contracted in 1972 with SRI
<http://www.fas.org/irp/program/collect/stargate.htm>  (Stanford Research
Institute) to develop the first of several remote viewing programs which
operated under code names such as Project Scanate, Project Grill Flame, and the
Stargate <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stargate_Project>  Project.

CIA Director Admiral Stansfield Turner
<https://www.cia.gov/library/center-for-the-study-of-intelligence/csi-publicatio\
ns/books-and-monographs/directors-and-deputy-directors-of-central-intelligence/t\
urner.html>  and several top generals eventually became strong supporters of the
remote viewing program as an effective means to develop psychic spies. Though
the official existence of this project was kept secret and even denied until
1995, millions of dollars were poured into what became a major government
undertaking using both military and civilian personnel.

Through remote viewing programs, a set of scientifically based protocols were
developed by which many people, even those without prior psychic abilities, were
able to describe remote objects with some accuracy. To see declassified
government documents on remote viewing, click here

interviews with CIA Director Stansfield, top generals, and key individuals in
the remote viewing programs, see the link below:

were high level Scientologists. For more on this, click

  Melting Arctic: Forget polar bears, worry about humans
  23 November 2009 by Alun Anderson
http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20427355.900-melting-arctic-forget-pol
ar-bears-worry-about-humans.html?full=true

WHEN I was a postdoc, I was often short of money and used to earn a little
extra cash by telling fortunes using a pack of 15th-century tarot cards.
Like other practitioners, I was always praying that one card would not
appear. It shows a grinning skeleton carrying a giant scythe standing above
a field littered with severed heads. It is card number 13, Death, and few
customers reward you generously after they encounter it.

Although I know the card well, I was still surprised when an image of it
popped into my mind out on the Arctic seas, in the middle of a large field
of broken ice floes some 1200 kilometres from the North Pole. I was in a
ship that was cruising slowly off the long, low, snow-streaked island of
Svenske�ya on the eastern side of Svalbard, researching a book about the
Arctic.

In the far distance, a female polar bear was watching us. It was a mark of
her great self-confidence that she immediately decided that our
100-metre-long ship might be worth hunting. She intercepted us quickly and
tried to climb on board.

The side of the ship proved a little too high, so after half an hour of
nibbling the ship's bow and scratching its sides, she tried a different
strategy. She lay down on the edge of a nearby ice floe, gave a long yawn,
folded her paws under her chin and apparently fell asleep. There was just
something suspicious about her cocked ears.

Patient "still hunting" at the edge of an ice floe is the polar bear's
number one technique for catching seals. A bear may sit or stand like this
for an hour or more, utterly still but alert, until a seal surfaces for
air. Then there is a flurry of bloody action. Knowing this, I was not much
inclined to climb down onto the ice to take a close-up photograph,
beautiful though she was.

Not long ago, tourists on ships passing through this region would amuse
themselves by shooting polar bears. But since the 1970s, the Norwegian
government has been protecting bears here with such seriousness that locals
joke: "You are better off shooting a man than a bear - the authorities will
investigate you less thoroughly."

That security no doubt helped give this female the swagger to hunt a large
ship. Even so, she eventually grew bored, stood up and strolled off out to
sea across a vast patchwork of broken ice floes, some not much bigger than
herself. Her exit left me feeling sad. I already knew from the work of the
US Geological Survey (USGS) that her grand-cubs may well be the last polar
bears to live here. In 2008, the USGS combined models of the future state
of the Arctic ice with what was known about the life of bears. Polar bears
are utterly dependent on ice as a platform to hunt seals. As the Arctic
summer ice disappears, the hunting period is growing shorter and breeding
success is falling. Sometimes these days there is too much water to swim
back to land and bears drown.

The bleak conclusion of one USGS model was "extirpation by 2050" for the
bears of Svalbard. A few areas did better, but only in the frozen channels
among the northerly Canadian islands might bears survive as rulers of the
ice until the end of the century. These are grim forecasts but they are
also conservative because they are based on models that aren't keeping up
with the terrible speed of the ice's collapse.

In the far north, the biggest and fastest change to our planet ever caused
by human activity is under way. As the Earth warms, more and more of the
frozen Arctic seas are melting away. Each winter, the ice grows until it
covers an area more than one and a half times as great as the US. In
summer, that ice used to melt to half the winter area. Now, after a
catastrophic collapse in 2007, close to two-thirds of the ice is vanishing.
Compared with a decade earlier, the Arctic is losing an extra area of ice
each summer six times as large as California. Estimates of when the ice
will completely disappear each summer now range from 2013 to 2050.

Other charismatic Arctic beasts will also struggle. After the bear, the
narwhal is most at risk. Off the coast of northern Greenland in 2008 I had
the good fortune to see narwhal surface among the ice. For a brief moment,
three improbably long spiral horns broke through the water and waved above
the sea like magic wands. One animal twisted around and, for a second, his
grey, wet body glistened in the low sunlight. Then all three dived and were
gone.

Under threat, too, will be the walrus, so recently recovered from mass
commercial hunting, the white beluga whale and the bowhead whale, which is
still only slowly gaining numbers after centuries of slaughter. All use ice
to rest, hide or feed.

Hearing this, you might think it is obvious why the image of Death came to
my mind. But it is not so simple. Although I always found it hard to
reassure anxious customers, the real meaning of the card is transformation.
A death is an ending and a new beginning, and that is what I was seeing as
I travelled round the Arctic.

A great transformation is under way. The change from ice to water is an end
for many familiar creatures but, in a wider sense, it is not an end. The
Arctic is being reborn as a sea that is more similar to southerly seas.
Whales, fish, birds and plankton that are more at home in warmer waters are
already invading the Arctic. Off the coast of Alaska, for example, pollock
are moving north, bringing also the salmon that feed on them. This is the
beginning of a new Arctic ecosystem that is forming as the old Arctic dies.
As yet, we cannot see the exact shape of the new world, or how many of its
older inhabitants will hang on in remote, icier spots. But we can guess who
will be its new ruler, the top predator which will topple the polar bear
from its throne.

Already, in the far north, I have seen pods of killer whales. These animals
have a tail fin that makes it hard for them to surface where there is much
thick ice. The disappearance of the ice is increasingly exposing the
beluga, narwhal and bowhead to this ferocious predator. In some parts of
the Arctic, beluga whale, known as the canary of the sea for their constant
chattering, have fallen silent. Killer whales are close and are listening
out for prey.

In purely biological terms, the new Arctic will be more productive than the
old, because there is more water, open to sunlight for longer, with more
plankton growing in it, and more food supports more life. The first signs
are already there. After the sudden collapse of the sea ice in 2007, a
satellite-borne sensor, measuring the water's "greenness", showed that the
total productivity of the Arctic seas leapt by 40 per cent. That is a big
increase.

Louis Fortier, a marine biologist at Laval University in Quebec, Canada,
explained it like this: "If you look at it simply from the point of view of
biological productivity, that will increase as the ice disappears. It's
just that the life there, the specialists which we are all fond of, like
the polar bear, the walrus and some other species which we have in our
unconscious mind, are going to get into trouble."

Is there comfort in knowing that polar bears hunting on ice will be
replaced by killer whales swimming in a warmer, more productive sea? For
me, the answer is "not much", but it will be the consequence of what we
have done to Earth. And looking at the changes to the Arctic as a
transformation does lead to a larger thought. For too long, too many
fruitless efforts to combat climate change have been billed as "Saving the
Planet". Right now, in the last week or two before the climate negotiations
at Copenhagen, there are few signs of dramatic action. Perhaps that is
because the message is wrong. As the changes in the Arctic show, the planet
continues. Species come and species go. The planet does not need saving,
even from us.
Species come, species go. The planet does not need saving, even from us

Far better that the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is
portrayed as simple self-interest; that we focus on the coming losses of
agricultural production, the droughts, the mass migrations and political
instability that will follow rapid climate change. Political will might be
better stiffened by listening to generals rather than to environmentalists.
As a former head of the US Central Command, Anthony Zinni, explained, if we
don't pay the price to reduce greenhouse gas emissions today, "we will pay
the price later in military terms".

Then we might turn again to the far north, not to worry about bears, but in
fear of the Arctic's revenge (New Scientist, 28 March, p 32). For millions
of years, the brilliant white ice around the North Pole has reflected the
summer sunlight back into space, helping cool the planet. As the ice turns
sea dark and soaks up the sun, global warming will really take off. Already
the signs are there: in areas where the sea ice has gone, summer
temperatures are between 3 �C and 5 �C higher than the average of the
previous 20 years.

As the differences in temperature between the Arctic and the equator
lessen, the weather and rain patterns all over the northern hemisphere are
altering. As the new Arctic sea heats up, a pool of warm air is spreading
across the nearby lands. Shrubs and trees are creeping north across the
tundra. Dark vegetation soaks up more heat and the warming gains pace.
Methane is bubbling from tundra lakes and shallow shelf seas as the
permafrost at their bottoms thaws and micro-organisms digest their carbon.

Elsewhere, the top layer of permafrost is rotting away. It contains enough
carbon to more than double the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, taking us
back to an era when temperatures were more than 7 �C higher than they are
now.

Of course, the carbon will not be released all at once. Instead, the Arctic
will favour a long, slow revenge, spread over hundreds of years. As well as
this, with the same painful slowness, the melting ice caps will make sea
levels rise perhaps a metre this century and then every century for a
thousand years. Once these changes really get going, they will be
unstoppable.

If these thoughts don't make people wake up, then we really are in deep
trouble. As it happens, there's a tarot card for those who can't change,
which was just as unpopular as Death with my customers. It is number 15:
"blind abandonment to self-destructive materialism".

Its symbol is the Devil.

Alun Anderson is a consultant (and former editor-in-chief and publishing
director) at New Scientist, with a background as a research biologist. He
is a board member of US start-up Xconomy.com. This essay draws on his book
After the Ice: Life, death and politics in the new Arctic, published next
week by Virgin Books in the UK, and by HarperCollins-Smithsonian in the US

Moving Into:  TOTAL WELLNESS

What we need to remember as we look at this is that the jobs that are
disappearing now are not coming back again.  We are into new territory as
the world changes around us with such major changes making their appearance
as the end of oil, the end of the Industrial Age, movement into
nanotechnology, movement away from jobs and into sustainable living
communities, global climate change, etc. while so many people are "stuck" in
the old paradigm and trying to recreate it, unable to pry themselves loose
from the old and move into the new.

We need to pry ourselves away from thinking big and move into the flow of
"living simply so others may simply live".

A very good question to be asking today is how much of our past history has
been manufactured in order to keep us from questioning the intent of the
Constitution.  From where I sit, it is obvious that Columbus did not
"discover" America but came here using old Spanish maps from the time
someone, and we still do not know exactly who, mined copper from the Great
Lakes Region and then traded it with both the Mexicans and those from the
Canary Islands as evidenced by the archaeological finds at Rock Lake,
Wisconsin and evidence of the copper mining around the Great Lakes regions
where thousands of tons of copper was removed.

Nor was George Washington who he was made out to be in the textbooks of
today.

And, we now also know today that the buffalo of the Great Plains were
slaughtered by the thousands by the U.S. government in order to rid the
plains of both these hoofed animals and the Native Americans, in order for
the elite of England to be able to buy up the land and bring both cows and
cattle into the West where they could be raised by ranchers and then shipped
to the East Coast, once the Robber Barons completed the railway, where after
killing in the stockyards the meat was shipped to England to satisfy the
addiction for beef in that country.

So, now that everyone is talking about violating our Constitutional Rights,
I keep asking myself "What Constitutional Rights" are they talking about.

Subject: [globalnetnews-summary] The Truth Behind the Turkey


Indian Final Solution Day
The Truth Behind the Turkey
http://www.counterpunch.org/mountain11262009.html
By TOM MOUNTAIN
November 26, 2009

Eating the once noble turkey,  nominated by that one intellectual giant
amongst the founders of the USA, Benjamin Franklin, to be our national
bird, has come to symbolize much of what is wrong about celebrating this
holiday.

The original turkey was a wily, respected bird, the successful stalking of
which marked one as a skilled hunter. The fowl that most Americans will be
stuffing themselves with this Thursday is raised in cages, being fed
increasing amounts of genetically engineered grain, laced with antibiotics.
It is so hyper-inbred, the male's breast is so large females must be
artificially inseminated. It would seem being to fat to have sex has now
become another addition to the American tradition.

Benjamin Franklin and the Founding Fathers of America didn't celebrate
this holiday. In fact, the Thanksgiving holiday was a public relations
gimmick dreamed up by that corporate lawyer turned politician, Abraham
Lincoln, during the darkest days of the Civil War in an attempt to win
support for an increasingly unpopular war.

No, during Benjamin Franklin's time, the white settlers were too busy
actually dealing with a militant, armed, united, well led and organized
League of the Iroquois to be bothered pretending they were friends. One
needs to look no further than the so called "Prince Phillips War" in
the middle of the 18th century to find some of the most horrendous
massacres committed against the "savage" Indian by the "god fearing
Christians."

Yet the nation empire founded by the legendary Hiawatha , the League of the
Iroquois, occupied a considerable portion of Benjamin Franklin scholarly
attention in his earlier years.  As a printer Franklin was in charge of the
correspondence between the League of the Iroquois and the colonialists. He
became such an authority on the American Indian that he was appointed to
his first diplomatic post as Commissioner of Indian Affairs  and acted as
Ambassador to the League of the Iroquois for the colony of Pennsylvania.

Addressing the Albany Congress in 1754, Franklin called on the delegates
from the English colonies to unite along the lines of the League of the
Iroquois, something they were not to do until 30 years later.

Benjamin Franklin was also the author of the original, draft constitution.
When looking for models for Franklins new "democracy" in European
society, you find little in over two thousand years of European history,
having to go all the way back to the Roman and earlier Greek city states.

Yet if you look at Franklins neighbors, the League of the Iroquois, and
their constitution, you find remarkable similarities with what Franklin
envisioned in his Constitution.

The League of the Iroquois was composed of nation "states" which had
jurisdiction over affairs in that "state" only. Each "state" had
its own elected legislature, which, as in Franklin's Constitution, chose
a number of"electors" to the "federal" League of the Iroquois.
These "electors" were accorded to each "state"  based on the
individual "states" population. The"electors"  met regularly in a
sacred hall for their deliberations. This "grand council" (the name
Franklin used in the original draft of the Constitution for what came to be
the Congress of the USA) was unicameral, as was Franklin's original white
settler "council", later Congress, of the former English colonies.

This Grand Council of the League of the Iroquois declared war and
negotiated peace treaties, sent and received ambassadors, decided on new
members joining the League and in general acted as a "federal"
government whose decisions superseded those of the "states" in affairs
of the "nation".

As in Franklin's Constitution, in the League of the Iroquois, the
electors could not be serving in the military  while holding office. In
both cases, an electorate chose the electors and could recall their choice
at anytime. One of the main differences between the two "democracies" was
that in the League of the Iroquois, the electors were reserved for men but
elected by the women. In the League of the Iroquois the women elected the
leadership, something much more "democratic" than the actual minority of
men who got to vote in the USA.

Franklin's protege, Thomas Jefferson, who wrote the final draft of the
Constitution, was also a student of the American Indian. Jefferson was the
first person to propose a systematic ethnological study of the American
Indian so as to "collect their traditions, laws, customs, languages and
other circumstances".

Yet the founding fathers of the USA displayed a savagery in destroying the
League of the Iroquois as well as that other American Indian
"democracy", the Creek Confederation that shocked even some of their
peers.

That  genocide, both good and ill intentioned, was carried out by Europeans
against the American Indians is an undeniable fact. The question we must
ask is "why did this happen?".

During the period of the most active genocide against American Indians,
slavery was King in America. And as long as Africans in slavery had a place
to escape to, as well as base to launch retaliation from, no slave owner
was safe. The threat represented by Indian/African unity resulted in the
ruthless attacks on the League of the Iroquois, the Creek Confederation,
and finally, the so called "Seminole Wars" of the early 19th century.

Seminole is a Spanish corruption of an Indian word for "runaway" or
"renegade". The "Seminole Indians" were a mixture of escaped Africans
and American Indians, mainly remnants of the Creek Confederation who had
escaped to the Florida Everglades. The Seminoles fought the longest most
expensive war in American history until that point.  Their defeat followed
by the "Trail of Tears" death march, ended the last major resistance by
American Indians east of the Mississippi River, and secured the institution
of slavery in the south. Slavery was King and the Only Good Indian was a
Dead Indian became the slogan for much of what was policy
in the USA.

With this in mind, and with "Thanksgiving" once again upon us, it
behooves all Americans of good will to take the time to reflect on your
real history, to teach this to your children.

Ironically, here is more information on “remote viewing”.

ACADEMY OF REMOTE VIEWING AND INFLUENCING REALITY

    Happy Thanksgiving 2009 and Beyond: The 2012 Shift







          Dear Brothers and Sisters,



It is customary in many countries around the world and as part of ancient
traditions to join in thanksgiving festivities addressed to the Creator for the
bounties and the harvest that have been bestowed upon each of us in the prior
year.



This tradition is not only celebrated in the new world but is as old as
mankind’s birth as an organized family and community.



On that day, we pause from our regular activities and menial concerns, transcend
our egos, and join hands in a chain of fraternity and joy that is meant to bring
us back to our origin as one unique and connected family: humanity.



I would rather suggest starting to hold such an act of gratitude and recognition
each and every day when we rise up in the morning and are gifted another moment
of multiversed experiences upon the face of our magnificent planet.



It is in the act of permanent gratitude that we start noticing all the positive
gifts that are constantly, freely and indiscriminately, showered upon us by the
Living manifestation of our Creator: Mother nature through Her Infinite
intelligence and Divine Grace.



Far from seeking Original Source in ancient words, obscure texts, or dimmed
solemn houses of worship, why not witness Its glorious Living Presence on-line
in Its enlivened and ever-changing Live format working in perfected harmony and
supreme intelligence: our natural environment which we are gifted as our world?
Why not communicate with Its actual Presence deep within us, and not seek
Source’s hidden face in fractions of space and timing?



We are entering a new period for mankind: a period of bestowal of the gifts of
the harvest of what has been planted by our acts and thought patterns for eons
until this very point in time/space, a period of reflection and analysis, a
moment of introspection and sublimation of our, for now, finite human Self, that
will call us to rise a bit above the immediate perspective we are used to and
our old ingrained familiar thought programs.  When this moment reaches the
shores of our consciousness we will have no other choice than to perceive that
our world is but One unit, One planet, where ALL separations are just illusions
planted and ferociously guarded by fear-based interests born into and
conditioned by a consciousness of great lack, which has engendered the great
desire to hoard, conquer and control more and more of the resources of what
really manifests free-Divine unconditional Love and gifting: the Holy kingdom of
the natural world in which we all bath and operate as points of consciousness.



The moment of this great shift is getting very close in our perception of
time/space.



We are heading towards it in a rapid manner: it is situated around the 2012 time
frame. All is accelerating as we are nearing it.



Much of what you are witnessing now is but a reinforcement and an increase in
the forces and beliefs systems which have been born out of the fear of lack, the
fear of controlling too few men and material resources. Most of these
thought-forms groupings are getting more and more entrenched in their battle for
their truth, their system, and you will notice that ALL of their systems are
focused on the past - on what has already been proven to be unworkable.



This is the time of the final clash between separation and unity, gifted to us,
so that we never again repeat history and go back to these unworkable patterns.



This is the moment of Truth, when all suddenly stops in a gigantic gasp, a
singularity point, when we face our deepest fears, suddenly shift our focus away
for fear, and finally embrace for eons to come the side of Real Love: the side
of freely gifted unconditional Love for each other as mankind, our Mother
vibrating the environment, and our Father the Creator who has made this
Creational Dream and beautiful lesson of Love possible.



You are all feeling that you are losing your grip on life’s directions. You
are all feeling without guidance - in limbo, almost as if we were all part of a
boat having lost its skipper, and navigation skills. We are seeking answers in
our old patterns and programs, but they do not seem to fit this ever increasing
unreal reality. Often, great anxiety ensues.



Most seek answer to our future in a repetition of our past.



Time is losing its grip upon us and accelerating.



Money, as the artificial instrument of acquiring power and control, is becoming
the ultimate illusion which it was anyway, be it paper, hard assets, or
electronic entries in artificial computing machines, and no one is really able
to make sense of its run-away bubble reality ready to explode.



What really counts is what is alive: humanity, and its living environment. What
counts is what has consciousness which is part of the Divine, and not what is
but dead matter and dying dreams created by fear and lack-oriented
consciousness.



What really counts is for us to decide, in common accord, to enter a bountiful
oriented consciousness, that knows that all that is needed is already present,
some of it in yet unmanifest format, ready to be discovered and activated by us,
but most of it already present in manifested format.



What is needed, is to dream and act for the good of all humanity and be willing
to gift unconditionally in the name of unconditional Love your presents, and
presence, to all, without expecting anything in return, as a mother or a father
would want to gift to their child.



These momentous behavioral changes  might sometimes come gradually, and often
quite suddenly, however the focus of mankind’s thought operation and activity
needs to solely arise from this new consciousness shift and new Creation
birthing Itself into a new age of peace, care, solace, new higher DNA vibrations
gifting health and longevity, and a great sense of unity.



This Great new consciousness mirroring the Consciousness of the One, knows no
fear of lack but only a deep built-in desire, alike Mother nature, to freely
bestow to all the bounties we uncover and produce, and share them amongst all of
us, perceptually separated until now by illusory created borders, lands,
languages, races, and religion, as a test, gifted by the Creator, in the post
tower-of-Babel metaphor.



As the primary axiom of Creation, and often forgotten concept of the genesis of
man, we are told that we all, without exception, originate from one great Divine
Soul, made in the image of the Creator and having in potential all of Its
Creative qualities, and that we all go back to that great Adamic soul: and it is
so. We are just sparks of awarenesses of Adam or Original Man having chosen to
play the game of scarcity and hence power for a while, knowing full well that,
within the original Creational plan, the time will come - and it is very near
now, when we will need all to swiftly shift poles, polarities, from fear to Love
towards each other as One family: The family of One and of The-One-and-Only
un-named Creator of EVERYTHING, EVERYONE, and EVERY facets, good and bad, EVERY
color and vibratory Sound, language, religions - Father and Mother to all the
children.  We will need to soon mirror the Loving One-and-Only hiding inside all
of us and within the living environment.



This is the true story of the proximate pole shift, for real changes in mankind
always originate in needed consciousness shifts, some of them extremely rapid.
This is our only reason to exist as human Creatures, which is to first separate
from each other as far as we can - and conceptual separation has been achieved
on this plane to an unprecedented level, and then finally engage in our trip
back to the Unity we all came from.  We cannot push the limits of separation
further, or this whole experiment would need to stop in failure, and that cannot
be.



You will soon perceive, as you engage in that Great consciousness polarity
shift, how the external world will start gifting us the beautiful harvest and
bounty that we all need, the like of which mankind has never experienced, as
long as we join hands and share that very bounty and make this inner desire to
share with our brothers and sisters our inner nature: the nature of One and
Unity.



As we engage in the great polar shift in thanksgiving and gratitude for what
will then be freely bestowed upon us, the One will engage in thanksgiving and
gratitude towards us, His beloved human Creatures, for having had the courage
and determination to take on the glorious trip back home to His unity of purpose
and Being.



You will notice that all old forms of lack and fear-based systems have all been
fundamentally strengthened in recent times, on purpose, as a lesson for all of
humanity to feel their painful consequences. They feel powerful and protected in
their fiefs kingdoms of beliefs and actions. They will soon be witnessed by all
of us imploding under their own weight as they show us the misguided choices and
roads they caused us to travel and travail in hardship for thousands of years.
As the great coming shift grabs our unmitigated attention, we shall turn our
attention away from their former pernicious presence and finally unite in pure
Love above all manifestations of elitism, and separation from each other, and
from our common Creator.



I wish you a happy thanksgiving day, every day, forever so.



Your friend on this journey,

Gerald O'Donnell
