The Big Scoop Series #17: Do you see in B&W, C, HD or FSV?

Hello everysoul!

You must surely be wondering what this compilation's title stands for... Do you see in B&W, C, HD or FSV?

Well it stands for "Do you see in black & white, color, high definition or full spectral vision?"

This came to me as a way to illustrate the various ways we, humans, have to look at the world around us based on how far ahead we each are in the awakening process we all go through, sooner or later. Someone with little information, perspective and background on world events pretty much sees everything as either good or bad (in "black & white"), while someone with higher than average access to mainstream media information and a continued interest and enough time to read and watch news from various sources will have a deeper understanding of what happens and why it happens, and thus these people's view on things will be more nuanced (in "color"). Yet people—like those on this list—with an even keener interest in understanding the underlying causes of world events and the often cunning manipulations deftly executed by operatives for the furtherance of stealthy goals benefiting a tiny elite can develop, over time, a much deeper understanding of things and stop merely observing passively what happens to take on an active role in helping to correct the wrongs they can now see with much crisper details (in "high definition"). But there is yet another higher level of understanding that may be reached by the few who dare integrate a keen interest in world events, knowledge of underlying causes, and motivation to act positively for the highest good of all, with a profound spiritual awakening process that gradually transforms them from an individually focused human being into a willing, self-aware tool of the Universal One in all of us. Those with access to the infinite inner Knowledge through their vibrant connection with the Source of All That Is benefit from such a vast perspective and so many levels of understanding that their "full spectral vision" on things may at times go beyond anything anyone could possibly imagine.

Depending on your state of mind, spiritual connectedness and willingness to enable your Higher Self greater control over your thinking process, we may each develop the ability to see things in ways that could allow us the kind of perceptions and sense of imperturbability that will put all fears to rest and make every single moment a most enjoyable, fulfilling experience.

This being stated, now let's turn our attention to that wide variety of news and information I've gathered for your consideration over the past 12 days (which is, of course, just a partial sampling of all that came in my Inbox) amidst the gardening work I've undertaken again here for the 26th year in a row and lots of other springtime chores as the last patches of snow finally melted. I'm sure you will find lots on stimulating material on which to train your expanding perceptive abilities so as to better decipher what is actually happening, make sense of it all and act upon the heightened awareness that will ensue.

Enjoy and share ;-)

THE QUOTES

"Hi Jean, I know you are so very swamped with all you do for us out here and planting season upon us. I just feel compelled to reach out and connect. I haven't said it in a while but I want to let you know how very much you are appreciated . You are such an anchor for so much light - it is amazing how many people you have brought together over the years - the seeds you have planted for good cannot be measured. It has got to be disheartening to read all the incoming information that you process, but through it all, it is always clear the positive outlook you hold for our future. Just going inside tells us we are very close and while the details of how we arrive are not set in stone, I'm finally feeling the light on the other side of this ride we are on and thrilled that it is clear that the ride is coming to an end. Lots of love and light for the very important part you have played in orchestrating this wondrous crossing."

— Eve Howard (shc2012@earthlink.net)


"Jean, you have created a marvelous network, are awakening many giants, and contributing much to the Light in this world. I undertook, as part of my contract, to remind myself and anyone whom I come into contact with, that we are, first and foremost “spiritual beings having a physical experience” as so aptly expressed by Teilhard de Chardin. The darkness likes to distract us with fear e.g. terrorism, financial breakdown, global warming, etc., all the while trying to make us forget our Divine self. We give our power to the banks, the government, homeland security and whatever else is brought as the cause for our insecurity. What we focus on and push against, we give power to. It’s now time, more than ever, to go within, and realize that there is no shortage of energy. We have access to unlimited personal guidance, that cannot be interfered with or blocked, regardless of conditions around us. Our inner guidance is precisely attuned to our every thought and energy desire. The biggest success in magic tricks is to redirect attention to the unimportant details. That is the principal purpose of the medias."

— Pierre Dumas (pierredumas@sympatico.ca)


"The Secret tells us in no uncertain terms that we create our own reality. We can have whatever we want. In fact, it is made clear that we do get EXACTLY what we focus upon. It invites us to cut out pictures of what we’d like to manifest, concentrate on that with joy (being careful not to allow any contrary thoughts into the mix), and, wah-lah, we shall have it not many days hence. Such a boon for humanity! We can all live in expensive homes, drive luxury automobiles, and have bank accounts that only increase—just by thinking positive thoughts with the proper intensity of feeling and action. Now, while ACIM does not make such extravagant materialistic claims, both sources make the same point that we create our reality, because, after all, that is the foundation of metaphysical, esoteric, New Thought, New Age, and some would add, Quantum Physics belief…and it may shock some of you to know that I agree with it. We do create our own reality! However, our experience is mostly birthed, not from our conscious, ego minds; rather, it is spontaneously conjured up from that deep part of us Carl Jung called the Unconscious (and I call the Soul Level). That part of us, joined with that same part in everyone else that makes up the human family—the collective unconscious, has indeed created the world we inhabit."

"When the earth is ravaged and the animals are dying, a new tribe of people shall come unto the earth from many colors, classes, creeds, and who by their actions and deeds shall make the earth green again. They will be known as the warriors of the Rainbow."

An estimated 18,000 to 20,000 people lined up naked in Mexico City's Zocalo Square in response to a call from U.S. photographer Spencer Tunick. In a time such as this and in a world such as ours, amid all the insanity, the madness, the violence and greed, the struggles and wars for domination and control of wealth and resources there appeared yesterday a brief shining moment of sanity and humor, of trust and beauty and just possibly an enormous expression of plain, simple, human love and freedom. La Ciudad de Mexico may have proven herself to be the most civilized place on this free falling old blob as 18000 of her people exposed themselves to the world as the most beautiful, urbane, orderly, and for awhile at least, the most scantily clad group of folks ever assembled anywhere.

Twenty-two years in Congress: How the game is played behind closed doors - This is not the most professional-looking film ever made, nor is it the most visually compelling, but the information it contains is nothing short of electrifying. Why does US foreign policy consistently support Israeli military aggression in Lebanon and elsewhere? Why do we turn a blind eye to Israel's brutal and inhuman treatment of the Palestinians? Why are we in fighting in Iraq?The answers are laid out in calm, clear language by twenty-two year veteran member of Congress Paul Findley.

72 hours to join Desmond Tutu against poverty
http://www.avaaz.org/en/g8_poverty_letter
This Friday, the finance ministers from the world's eight richest countries will meet to plan the G8 summit. That morning, we will send them an urgent letter on global poverty, signed by key global figures: Archbishop Desmond Tutu, former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Mary Robinson--and, we hope, you. Our message: keep your promise to provide 0.7% of national income in effective aid to relieve extreme poverty. Millions of lives are at stake. The more people sign the letter, the more powerful our demand becomes. The statistics of global poverty are shocking. Each day, 20,000 children die preventable deaths in poor countries. That's why the broken promises of rich countries are so infuriating. The world's rich countries have pledged 0.7% of their national income to development aid. But these promises have not been kept. In fact, outrageously, the G8 countries gave less in 2006 than in 2005. At the same time, the last few years have seen an unprecedented groundswell against global poverty--which has led to new promises and, in some countries, real change. These fights can be won. That's why we are working with our friends at the Global Call to Action Against Poverty to assemble citizens and celebrities behind a single call--for world leaders to keep their word on global poverty.

I'm on an organic beekeeping list of about 1,000 people, mostly Americans, and no one in the organic beekeeping world, including commercial beekeepers, is reporting colony collapse on this list.

They also haul the hives by truck all over the place to make more money with pollination services, which stresses the colonies. CLIP

GM crop taints honey two miles away, test reveals (September 15, 2002)
http://www.informationliberation.com/?id=21907
EVIDENCE that genetically modified (GM) crops can contaminate food supplies for miles around has been revealed in independent tests commissioned by The Sunday Times. The tests found alien GM material in honey from beehives two miles from a site where GM crops were being grown under government supervision. It is believed to have been carried there by bees gathering pollen in the GM test sites. The disclosure, showing that GM organisms can enter the food chain without consumers — or even farmers — knowing they are present, will undermine assurances by Tony Blair and ministers that such crops can be tested in Britain without contaminating the food chain.

GM genes 'jump species barrier' (May 28, 2000)
http://observer.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,6903,319418,00.html
A leading zoologist has found evidence that genes used to modify crops can jump the species barrier and cause bacteria to mutate, prompting fears that GM technology could pose serious health risks. A four-year study by Professor Hans-Hinrich Kaatz, a respected German zoologist, found that the alien gene used to modify oilseed rape had transferred to bacteria living inside the guts of honey bees. The research - which has yet to be published and has not been reviewed by fellow scientists - is highly significant because it suggests that all types of bacteria could become contaminated by genes used in genetically modified technology, including those that live inside the human digestive system. If this happened, it could have an impact on the bacteria's vital role in helping the human body fight disease, aid digestion and facilitate blood clotting. (...) We are playing about with genetic structures that existed for millions of years and the experiment is running out of control.'One of the biggest concerns is if the anti-biotic resistant gene used in some GM crops crossed over to bacteria. 'If this happened it would leave us unable to treat major illnesses like meningitis and E coli .' CLIP

GM Food: A Guide for the Confused
http://ngin.tripod.com/gmintro.htm
(...) Q: What will the impact of GM crops be on the environment?
A: The biggest percentage of GM crops grown are genetically engineered to be herbicide resistant. A field can now be sprayed with chemicals and everything will die except for the resistant crop. The sales of the herbicides in question are boosted as a result.Graham Wynne, Chief Executive of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, says: "The ability to clear fields of all weeds using powerful herbicides which can be sprayed onto GM herbicide-resistant crops will result in farmlands devoid of wildlife and will spell disaster for millions of already declining birds and plants." There are also GM virus-resistant crops. Prof Joe Cummins says: "Probably the greatest threat from genetically altered crops is the insertion of modified virus and insect virus genes into crops - genetic recombination will create virulent new viruses from such constructions. The widely used cauliflower mosaic virus (present in the GM soy and maize currently on supermarket shelves in the UK) is a potentially dangerous gene. It is very similar to the Hepatitis B virus and related to HIV. Modified viruses could cause famine by destroying crops or cause human and animal diseases of tremendous power."
Q: What is genetic pollution?
A: Genes engineered into plants and animals can be transferred to other species. For example, genes from GM oilseed rape, salmon or micro-organisms may move into the gene pools of wild relatives. The introduction of GM organisms into complex ecosystems may bring knock-on effects that we are unable to control.
Q: Which foods are not GM?
A: Presently certified organic foods are the best bet for the anti-GM consumer. However, even with the best intentions, companies attempting to exclude GM ingredients from their products have found contamination from GM crops. De Rit had to recall a batch of organic tortilla chips after tests showed that they contained GM maize. The company believes that cross-pollination of crops was to blame. Other companies have experienced similar problems. CLIP

GONE! (April 25, 2007) MOST CRITICAL ISSUE - HARDLY EVER MENTIONED IN THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA!
http://www.motherjones.com/news/feature/2007/05/gone.html
It is a fact widely accepted by biologists but little known by the population at large. By the end of the century, half of all species on Earth may be extinct. Who will survive the world's dwindling biodiversity, and why? (...) Throughout the 20th century the causes of extinction—habitat degradation, overexploitation, agricultural monocultures, human-borne invasive species, human-induced climate change—amplified exponentially, until now in the 21st century the rate is nothing short of explosive. The World Conservation Union's Red List—a database measuring the global status of Earth's 1.5 million scientifically named species—tells a haunting tale of unchecked, unaddressed, and accelerating biocide. (...) A poll by the American Museum of Natural History finds that 7 in 10 biologists believe that mass extinction poses a colossal threat to human existence, a more serious environmental problem than even its contributor, global warming, and that the dangers of mass extinction are woefully underestimated by most everyone outside of science. (...)_ All these disappearing species are part of a fragile membrane of organisms wrapped around Earth so thin, writes E.O. Wilson, that it "cannot be seen edgewise from a space shuttle, yet so internally complex that most species composing it remain undiscovered." We owe everything to this membrane of life. Literally everything. The air we breathe. The food we eat. The materials of our homes, clothes, books, computers, medicines. Goods and services that we can't even imagine we'll someday need will come from species we have yet to identify. The proverbial cure for cancer. The genetic fountain of youth. Immortality. Mortality. The living membrane we so recklessly destroy is existence itself. CLIP

MORTALITY RATES: A LETTER TO CLIFFORD CARNICOM (under picture #66)
http://imageevent.com/firesat/strangedaysstrangeskies?z=3&c=4&n=1&m=-1&w=4&x=0&p=14
"Dear Clifford, I have been curious as to whether or not the chemtrails have increased the death rate. I found it very difficult to get official figures to compare different years so I decided to do an informal check using the death notice archives from my local newspaper. I was shocked at what I found. These figures are truly alarming. I compared the number of death notices for the same two months (Jan and Feb) going back for ten years (to compare pre chemtrails years with chemtrails years). [ed. Chemspraying started in approx. 1998. The following figures suggest a huge rise in deaths during the "chemtrail" years..Also noteworthy re these figures is the comment by Ken Welch (Rense.com 1/5/06). Mr Welch states that in 1999, "in the midst of ongoing chemical operations against its own population, Uncle began to experiment with bio delivery systems as well." Note that it was in the years after '99 that the death rate exploded.]
Death Notice Totals for Jan-Feb:
JAN-FEB 1995.........(prechemtrail).........191
JAN-FEB 1996.........(prechemtrail).........134
JAN FEB 1997..........(prechemtrail).........105
JAN-FEB 1998....(chemspraying starts)....98
JAN FEB 1999.... (bioexperiments start)..144
JAN-FEB 2000......(spraying+ bio)......196
JAN-FEB 2001......(spraying + bio)....1680
JAN-FEB 2002......(spraying + bio)....1734
JAN-FEB 2003......(spraying + bio)....1728
JAN FEB 2004.......(spraying + bio)....2000
As you can see the totals for Jan-Feb 2004 are over a TEN TIMES HIGHER than the totals for Jan-Feb 1995. This seems way out of line and very alarming even taking into consideration an aging population. Perhaps there is another reason for these figures but I suspect it is because of the chemtrails and that what we are seeing is the result of a deliberate depopulation campaign. These figures are from the San Francisco Chronicle/SFGate death notice archives. "I have to admit we were very slow to grasp just how large the chemtrail program was, and still is today. It is the largest air operation in history. Every man, woman, and child in the United States has been dosed with chemical poison between three and four times a week, for the last seven years. The very size of the operation, and the fact that it is being done in broad daylight makes it very difficult for most people to even grasp the concept." (CHECK also Fungi from the Crypt below)

Humanity owes most of the discoveries and science of the 19th and 20th centuries to Jewish scientists. 15 million people, scattered throughout the world, united and won their rights through work and knowledge. We have not seen a single Jew blow himself up in a German restaurant. We have not seen a single Jew destroy a church. We have not seen a single Jew protest by killing people. The Muslims have turned three Buddha statues into rubble. We have not seen a single Buddhist burn down a Mosque, kill a Muslim, or burn down an embassy. Only the Muslims defend their beliefs by burning down churches, killing people, and destroying embassies. This path will not yield any results.

The National Initiative for Democracy - A MOST ORIGINAL IDEA SUPPORTED BY RALPH NADER
http://www.gravel2008.us/national_initiative
A POPULIST CONCEPT OF DEMOCRACY “Let the People Decide” - The central power of government in a democracy is lawmaking –– not voting. Those who make the laws determine how, when, and if voters can vote. Florida and Ohio are but recent examples. Governments throughout history have been tools of oppression; they need not be. American citizens can gain control of their government by becoming lawmakers and turning its purpose to public benefit, and stemming government growth––the people are more conservative than their elected officials regardless of political party.Are the people qualified enough to make laws directly to govern their lives? They’re qualified enough on Election Day to give their power away to political candidates who manipulate the electoral process to get elected. In fact, it’s easier to decide one’s self-interest directly than it is to guess the mind of a representative who will naturally put his or her self-interest first. More than 70% of the voters already make laws by initiative in twenty-four states and in numerous local communities, and when voting on bond issues referred to them for decision by their representatives––serious lawmaking. American voters have made laws for the last 100 years and their record is as good as their elected legislators––with respect to fiscal matters, the people’s record is far superior. How do Americans become lawmakers? CLIP Check also Mike Gravel's presidential bid platform at http://www.gravel2008.us/issues - that's quite an eye-opener in many respects...

On Iraq, Kucinich wants the truth out - by John Warner (May 12. 2007)
http://tinyurl.com/2hw89o
As recently reported by June Caldwell in the American Chronicle, presidential candidate and Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich revealed that the Democrats in Congress made secret concessions to the Republicans in the just vetoed Iraq war funding bill, as well as in a version currently being negotiated. These include:
- Privatization of Iraq's Oil This was in the original bill, but not shared with the public was the existence of a rule that said this clause could not be removed during debate on House floor. Privatization was posed as a benchmark that must be met or the United States would withdraw troops and refuse to offer peacekeeping troops to help rebuild the country. Privatization means international oil companies get 80 percent of the profits from exploitation of Iraq oil.
- Bush could invade Iran without approval A clause that would have required him to first get approval from Congress first was removed.
- Any timetables for troop withdrawal were to be removed in the post-veto version.
It is clear that beyond the lies about WMDs , the high-sounding rhetoric about terrorism and democracy in the Middle East is still a smokescreen to hide the real reason for the Iraq War: oil profits.It is also clear that the Democrats are now complicit in the lies of this administration and its attempts to hide the facts from us. When Kucinich requested on the floor that the oil profits clause be removed from the bill, he was assured it would be. Finding that it was not, and after again demanding that it be removed, he was accused of "not being a loyal Democrat."Thank you, Congressman Kucinich, for being willing to give the truth to the American people!

Bush, The Limp Dick (May 02, 2007)
http://pcapostate.blogspot.com/2007/05/bush-limp-dick.html
A Limp Dick is an expression that I learned while serving in the Army cavalry back in the 1980s, it is generally applied to someone that is seen as “impotent,” in daily life, a non force, or someone that isn’t taken seriously by others, thus the application to our squirrelly President. Many Americans are beginning to realize the obvious, President Bush has completely wasted any capital that he may have once had. Foreign leaders are already aware of this, nobody takes the fool seriously, he is seen for what he is, a weak, inept marionette. Late last year we saw the new Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki literally stand Bush up at an important meeting in Jordan - he literally left Bush standing alone waiting on his own subordinate, at least from Bush’s perspective. The Associated Press did their best to mitigate what happened and to spin the implications, but it did a poor job at best. According to the AP the meeting that Bush and al-Maliki were scheduled to meet at was scrubbed, not because al-Maliki “punked” Bush by not showing up, but for some other reason, but not before Bush was expecting al-Maliki as evidenced by the fact that when the meeting was scrubbed, he was already inside Raghadan Palace and had posed for photographs alone with the king. White House counselor Dan Bartlett denied that the delay was a snub by al-Maliki directed at Bush or was related to the leak of a memo written by White House National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley questioning the prime minister's capacity for controlling violence in Iraq.” Yeah, whatever, the AP can write whatever they like, but the truth is al-Maliki “punked,” Bush, which is modern vernacular meaning that Bush was intentionally disrespected publicly. To my knowledge nothing like this has ever happened before - as a rule Presidential advisors do everything they can to ensure that the President of the United States never gets embarrassed in such a manner. In any case, al-Maliki’s absence spelled out something quite clearly - Bush has no influence in the Mid east any longer - zero. To further support this fact and to support something else the mainstream media would prefer that you don’t know, Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad admonished George Bush publicly too, he stated the obvious in response to a comment Bush made about him, when Dubya said that Ahmadinejad was out of step with the rest of the world. Iran’s President replied by saying that perhaps Georgie needs to step out of [his] glass palace and go to [his] people to see how isolated [he is], not only across the world but also in your own country." Ahmadinejad continued by saying "Mr. Bush can travel to one of the American states, inviting the people to a stadium to see how the people would treat him… I am sure that the American people would treat Mr. Bush as the Indonesian people treated him," he said, referring to protests that greeted Bush on a visit to Indonesia last year. Yeah, fat chance that’ll ever happen.

The Defense Department's "Implementation Plan for Pandemic Influenza," which was posted Wednesday on a Pentagon website, lays out guidelines and planning assumptions for US military services and combatant commands. Possible scenarios include US troops being called in to put down riots, guard pharmaceutical plants and shipments, and help restrict the movement of people inside the country and across its borders. "When directed by the president, DoD will provide support to civil authorities in the event of a civil disturbance," the document said. "DoD will augment civilian law enforcement efforts to restore and maintain order in accordance with existing statutes." The military also may assist civil authorities in "isolating and/or quarantining groups of people in order to minimize [foment] the spread of disease during an influenza pandemic," it said.

War and the Police State: Complicity of the American People (2007-04-21)

The scourge of apathy in American society today. A fear-struck population is easily led. - In this era of perpetual warfare, escalating domestic tyranny, government-sanctioned torture, and a Nazi-like pursuit of Middle-East domination, one would expect, at the very least, an audible outcry from the People who proclaim resolute devotion to the ideals of liberty and justice for all. Yet for the most part, Mainstream America continues to assume a posture of apathy, bitterness, or eery silence.When confronted with hard facts and scientific evidence linking key government officials to the attacks of 9/11, ostensibly intelligent, levelheaded people angrily and defiantly reject said information without a moment's deliberation. Sincerely compassionate and peace-loving individuals support the criminal invasion of Iraq and close their eyes to the U.S. slaughter of 600,000 Iraqi civilians, choosing instead to believe in the myth of American supremacy, at the heart of which lies the notion that foreigners alone are capable of such atrocities. And now, in the aftermath of 9/11 and the subsequent establishment of Homeland Security, previously rigid supporters of civil rights quietly tolerate the piecemeal deconstruction of the U.S. Constitution under the pretext of protection, and to their own peril, disregard increasingly strident warnings and signs of a growing and imminent police state.

The Nearly Two Million Dollar Gap - What Price Slaughter? (May 13, 2007)

In New York and Jalalabad, Human Life Is Valued Differently -- by the U.S. Government - (...) Last Tuesday, after much protest in Afghanistan, according to David S. Cloud of the New York Times, Col. John Nicholson, a brigade commander, met with the families of the (now) 19 Afghans who had been killed and the 50 who had been wounded by the Marines. He offered this official apology: "I stand before you today, deeply, deeply ashamed and terribly sorry that Americans have killed and wounded innocent Afghan people." And then he paid approximately $2,000 per death to family members. The military calls these "condolence payments" and makes similar ones, for deaths judged wrongful, in Iraq.Recently, through a Freedom of Information Act request, the ACLU pried loose some of the requests for compensation payments submitted by Iraqis and Afghans (and the military's decisions on them, including denials of payment).

America’s Child Soldier Problem (May 15, 2007)
http://www.inthesetimes.com/article/3199/
Congratulations: You have lived long enough to cringe at the bad decisions you were seduced, dared, bullied, inspired or stoned enough to make as a teenager.Thousands of America’s children, however, are not so lucky. Almost 600,000 of America’s 1 million active and reserve soldiers enlisted as teens. The military lures these physiologically immature kids with a PR machine that would make Joe Camel proud. While the age of legal and cultural adulthood can vary, science is now able to determine the physiological markers of maturity. A recent study headed by Jay Giedd of the National Institutes of Health using MRI scans shows that the brain of an 18-year-old is not fully developed, with the limbic cortex-brain structures, the cerebellum and prefrontal cortex still undergoing substantial changes. As of March 31, the U.S. military included 81,000 teenagers. Its 7,350 17-year-olds needed parental consent to enlist, and only this April were all barred from battle zones.But the military aims even lower, marketing itself to children as young as 13 with multimedia videos, school visits and cold calls to teens’ homes and cell phones. In Junior ROTC, kids get uniforms, win medals, fire real guns and play soldier, while adults trained in psychological manipulation steer them toward the army. The Army’s JROTC website lists such motivating activities as “eating at concession stands.”A mature prefrontal cortex, “the area of sober second thought,” is vital not only to deciding whether to enlist, but also to choices made under the stress of deployment and the terrors of combat. But the prefrontal cortex, “important for controlling impulses, is among the last brain regions to mature,” according to Giedd, and doesn’t reach “adult dimensions until the early 20s.” Teenagers’ brains simply lack the impulse control that can prevent a lifetime of regret, psychological and physical disability, and preventable deaths—their own, their fellow soldiers’ and those of civilians.The child soldier problem is global and so is America’s role in it. More than 300,000 children around the world, some as young as seven, serve as soldiers, or, in the case of girls, as military sex slaves. The State Department reports that 10 countries are violating international treaties against child soldiers. Washington provides military assistance to nine of these outlaw nations: Afghanistan, Burundi, Chad, Colombia, Ivory Coast, Democratic Republic of Congo, Sri Lanka, Sudan and Uganda.The reason the United States and other militaries target children is their need for cannon fodder, coupled with the vulnerability of youth. In 2002, almost half of Marine recruits were 17 or 18. A Pentagon survey found that “for both males and females, propensity [to enlist] is highest among 16- and 17-year-olds.” That “propensity” quickly declines with age.A 2004 Pentagon database listed the number of 16- and 17-year-olds who applied for active service enlistment at 69,000 and 18-year-olds at 73,000. By 19, the count had dropped to 49,000 and by age 24 had plummeted to 9,700.The Department of Defense (DoD) spends more than $4 billion a year on recruiting, with $1.5 billion for advertising and maintaining the recruiting stations staffed by more than 22,000 recruiters. Much of that money goes to convincing children to become soldiers. A recruiters’ handbook discusses creepy seduction techniques with all the subtlety of predatory stalking. CLIP

Bruce Willis Says JFK Killers Still In Power (May 7, 2007)
http://www.infowars.com/articles/us/jfk_bruce_willis_says_jfk_killers_still_in_power.htm
Actor tells Vanity Fair he's skeptical of lone shooter theory - In a new magazine interview, Bruce Willis spills the beans on his skepticism that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the assassination of JFK, and suggests that the some of the same criminals who killed Kennedy are still in power today."They still haven't caught the guy that killed [President] Kennedy," Willis told Vanity Fair's June issue, according to the New York Post. "I'll get killed for saying this, but I'm pretty sure those guys are still in power, in some form. The entire government of the United States was co-opted," adds the Die Hard star.So from where did Willis, a former die-hard champion of Neo-Con policy, receive his sudden wake-up call? As we reported last year, Hollywood director Richard Linklater said he had handed out 9/11 truth DVDs on the set of Fast Food Nation , including Alex Jones' Terror Storm and Martial Law documentaries, and that they completely changed Willis' political paradigm."He said it put him in such a head space that he will be quiet on issues of national policy," Linklater told the Alex Jones Show. Is Willis' comment that the people who killed Kennedy are still in power a reference to the fact that George H.W. Bush was photographed at the scene in Dealy Plaza?Either way, it's refreshing to see that Willis, who was vehemently pro-war and pro-Bush in the months after 9/11, has seen the light and realized that patriotism is about love of one's country, not worship of government.

C4 accused of falsifying data in documentary on climate change (8 May 2007)

The makers of a Channel 4 documentary which claimed that global warming is a swindle have been accused of fabricating data by one of the scientists who participated in the film. The Great Global Warming Swindle was broadcast on 8 March and has been criticised by leading scientists for errors, distortions and misrepresentations. The film has also been referred to the regulatory watchdog Ofcom which is considering a complaint from 37 senior scientists that the programme breached the broadcasting code on the misrepresentation of views and facts. Now even a climate sceptic whose dissenting views were used by the film-makers to bolster their claims about the "lies" and "swindles" of global warming has accused the documentary of promulgating falsehoods. Eigil Friis-Christensen, director of the Danish National Space Centre, has issued a statement accusing the film-makers of fabricating data based on his work looking at the links between solar activity and global temperatures. Dr Friiss-Christensen said that a graph he had produced some years ago showing the link between fluctuations in global temperatures and changes in solar activity - sunspot cycles - over the past 400 years had been doctored. The documentary used the graph to pour scorn on the idea that the global warming in recent decades is the result of man-made emissions of carbon dioxide.

Ten-year Warming Window Closing (12 May 2007)
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/051507M.shtml
Climate change may have passed a key tipping point that could mean temperatures rising more quickly than predicted and it being harder to tackle global warming, research suggests. Scientists at Bristol University say a previously unexplained surge of carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere in recent years is due to more greenhouse gas escaping from trees, plants and soils. Global warming was making vegetation less able to absorb the carbon pollution pumped out by human activity. Such a shift would worsen the gloomy predictions of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which warned last week that there is less than a decade to tackle rising emissions to avoid the worst effects of global warming. The prediction came as an equally stark warning was issued that global warming was contributing to increased conflict over dwindling resources. At the moment about half of human carbon emissions are re-absorbed into the environment, but the fear among scientists is that increased temperatures will reduce this effect. CLIP

UN scientists warn time is running out to tackle global warming (May 5, 2007)
http://environment.guardian.co.uk/climatechange/story/0,,2073006,00.html
Governments are running out of time to address climate change and to avoid the worst effects of rising temperatures, an influential UN panel warned yesterday.Greater energy efficiency, renewable electricity sources and new technology to dump carbon dioxide underground can all help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the experts said. But there could be as little as eight years left to avoid a dangerous global average rise of 2C or more.The warning came in a report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) published yesterday in Bangkok. It says most of the technology needed to stop climate change in its tracks already exists, but that governments must act quickly to force through changes across all sectors of society. Delays will make the problem more difficult, and more expensive. (...) The report said global emissions must peak by 2015 for the world to have any chance of limiting the expected temperature rise to 2C, which would still leave billions of people short of water by 2050.Michael Roberts, of the Confederation of British Industry, said: "The report signals that there are barriers to realising the range of opportunities identified and that we all - consumers, businesses and governments - have a role to play in overcoming these obstacles. The debate now needs to be focused on action."Hans Verolme, director of the WWF climate change programme, said: "The IPCC has delivered a road map for keeping the planet safe. Now it's the turn of politicians to do more than pay just lip service."

Cities Key to Tackling Poverty, Climate Change (04.05.2007)
http://www.sonnenseite.com/index.php?pageID=80&news:oid=n7568&template=news_detail.html
In 2008, half of the Earth’s population will live in urban areas, marking the first time in history that humans are an urban species.If global development priorities are not reassessed to account for massive urban poverty, well over half of the 1.1 billion people projected to join the world’s population between now and 2030 may live in under-serviced slums, according to State of the World 2007: Our Urban Future, released today by the Worldwatch Institute. Additionally, while cities cover only 0.4 percent of the Earth’s surface, they generate the bulk of the world’s carbon emissions, making cities key to alleviating the climate crisis, notes the report. As recently as a century ago, the vast majority of the world’s people lived in rural areas, but by sometime next year more than half of all people will live in urban areas. Over 60 million people—roughly the population of France—are now added to the planet’s burgeoning cities and suburbs each year, mostly in low-income urban settlements in developing countries. Unplanned and chaotic urbanization is taking a huge toll on human health and the quality of the environment, contributing to social, ecological, and economic instability in many countries. Of the 3 billion urban dwellers today, 1 billion live in “slums,” defined as areas where people cannot secure key necessities such as clean water, a nearby toilet, or durable housing. An estimated 1.6 million urban residents die each year due to lack of clean water and sanitation as a result. “For a child living in a slum, disease and violence are daily threats, while education and health care are often a distant hope,” said Molly O’Meara Sheehan, State of the World 2007 project director. “Policymakers need to address the ‘urbanization of poverty’ by stepping up investments in education, healthcare, and infrastructure.” From 1970 to 2000, urban aid worldwide was estimated at $60 billion—just 4 percent of the $1.5 trillion in total development assistance.

Climate change could lead to global conflict (May 11, 2007)

Climate change could spawn a new era of conflicts around the world over water and other scarce resources unless more is done to curb greenhouse gas emissions, the foreign secretary, Margaret Beckett, warned yesterday.She said climate-driven conflicts were already under way in Africa. Underlying the Darfur crisis, she said, was a "struggle between nomadic and pastoral communities for resources made more scarce through a changing climate". Speaking at the Royal United Services Institute in London, Mrs Beckett quoted evidence that a similar conflict was brewing in Ghana where Fulani cattle herdsmen are reportedly arming themselves to take on local farmers in a confrontation over water and land as climate change expands the Sahara desert. The foreign secretary said the Middle East - with 5% of the world's population but only 1% of its water - would be particularly badly affected, with Saudi Arabia, Iran and Iraq particularly hard hit by a drop in rainfall.

Washington, D.C. – Ecuador took the unusual step today of formally requesting the Justice Department investigate Chevron over a possible fraud to cover up what experts could be the largest oil-related contamination in the world – one 30 times larger than the Exxon Valdez disaster.Chevron is currently a defendant in a class action civil lawsuit in Ecuador over the contamination, which includes the abandonment of roughly 1,000 open-air toxic waste pits in the rainforest and the dumping of 18 billion gallons of toxic waste water in an area the size of Rhode Island. The plaintiffs estimate clean-up to cost at least $6 billion, with the total liability significantly higher if one includes health and economic damages to an estimated 30,000 affected people.Texaco (now Chevron) is accused of causing the damage as the exclusive operator of an oil concession in Ecuador’s Amazon from 1964 to 1990. The concession included roughly 350 wells and was built on the ancestral land of five indigenous groups, two of which are on the verge of extinction because of lost territory and fouled soil and rivers.

Seismographic testing has indicated that there is as much crude oil on the North Slope of Alaska as in Saudi Arabia. Since the Gull Island find proved to be seismographically correct, then the other testings are correct also. There are many hundreds of square miles of oil under the North Slope of Alaska. (...) Where is the energy crisis? It surely is not on the North Slope of Alaska, so it must be only in Washington, D.C.!Now—just in case Gull Island didn't blow your mind, try this on for size! Only recently, just west of Gull Island, the Kuparuk oil field has been drilled.Again, this is a totally separate pool of oil from either the Prudhoe Bay field or the Gull Island field. The chemical make up of the field and the pressure of the field is different from the others, proving it to be a totally separate pool of oil.In an entirely different area of the North Slope than the 100-square-mile area of the Prudhoe Bay field, the Kuparuk field is approximately 60 miles long by 30 miles wide and contains approximately the same amount of oil as the Prudhoe Bay field.(...) The sulphur content of the Prudhoe Bay Alaskan oil is low in comparison to oil from other sources in the U.S., as well as many foreign oils.The Alaskan Prudhoe Bay oil can be refined by any major refinery in America without damage to the ecology.This means, then, that the widely publicized excuse of too high a sulphur content is simply not true. Therefore, it is just one more link in the long chain of falsehoods that we are asked to believe as Americans.An energy crisis??????More Recent Facts—A Comparison The following is a comparison between the three oil fields on the North Slope of Alaska which have been drilled into with numerous wells, tested, and proven. Prudhoe Bay can produce two (2) million barrels of oil every 24 hours for 20 to 40 years at artesian pressure. Imagine what the production of the Kuparuk and Gull Island fields could be.

The Battle to Ban Toxic Toys
http://www.truthout.org/issues_06/051507HA.shtml
"Phthalates" (pronounced THA-lates) are found in everything from cosmetics to IV bags to children's toys. Environmentalists and environmentally minded legislators are beginning to worry about long-term exposure to the chemical compounds. Specifically, they are worried about the plastics commonly used in soft vinyl products made for babies, such as bath books, rubber ducks and teething rings, as well as bisphenol A (BPA), a building block for polycarbonate plastic used in shatter-resistant baby bottles.

I do not over-inflate things when I say that this breaking story from researcher Dave Clarke in England is one of the most significant breakthroughs in British UFO research. Here's the story from Dave himself:"I'm pleased to announce that the British MoD have decided to release their archive of 7,000 UFO reports made to the Defence Intelligence Staff covering a period of 30 years. "The decision - announced in a letter I received last month - is a direct result of my attempts, working with colleagues, to persuade the MoD to follow the recent French example and open their entire historical and recent archive to public scrutiny. (...) "The decision to release these files to the public is a major breakthrough and a landmark both for British Ufology and in the wider campaign for Freedom of Information in the UK. CLIP

Food Additives Tied To Child Behavior Problems (May 9th, 2007)
http://www.raidersnewsnetwork.com/full.php?news=5292
Parents have been warned to avoid artificial additives used in drinks, sweets and processed foods amid a link to behaviour problems in children. A study funded by the government's Food Standards Agency(FSA) is understood to have drawn a link with temper tantrums and poor concentration. There are also concerns about allergic reactions such as asthma and rashes. The findings are potentially explosive for the entire food industry, which faces the need to reformulate a vast array of children's products. (...) The research, carried out by a team from Southampton University, appears to confirm earlier studies suggesting additives can cause reactions, either individually or as a cocktail. The colours, tested on groups of three-year-olds and eight-to-nine year olds, were tartrazine (E102), ponceau 4R (E124), sunset yellow (E110), carmoisine (E122), quinoline yellow (E104) and allura red AC (E129). The team also looked at the effect of the preservative sodium benzoate (E211), which is commonly used in soft drinks. Precise details of the research findings are being kept secret until they can be peer reviewed and published in a scientific journal. However, a source at Southampton University told the food industry's magazine, The Grocer, that their results are in line with earlier findings, published in 2004. (...) "The reaction in children can be horrendous in terms of mood swings with crying, screaming, inability to sleep. There can also be physical reactions such as difficulty in breathing on skin rashes. "For a young person there is also a risk of quite angry mood swings." The founder of the organic brand Organix, Lizzie Vann, has been campaigning for a ban on all artificial additives from children's food. "The use of artificial additives in children’s foods means we are conducting a long-term experiment on our children’s health," she said. CLIP - Recommended by Phyllis Montague (phyllism5@juno.com)

M&S joins race to ban artificial additives from their food (15th May 2007) GOOD NEWS FOR KIDS IN THE UK!
http://tinyurl.com/2l4jc2
Marks & Spenscer has become the latest store chain to announce it will remove artificial colours and flavours from 99 per cent of its food products by the end of the year.Asda revealed it was doing the same with 9,000 own-brand items earlier this week. The decision follows a study commissioned by the Food Standards Agency which drew a link between additives and poor behaviour and concentration in children. The bans announced by M&S and Asda extend to the controversial sweetener aspartame. David Gregory, director of technology at M&S, said: "By September, 95 per cent of our foods will be free from artificial colourings and flavourings - this covers all our chilled foods, cakes and bakery. "The remaining 4 per cent of products are in biscuits and groceries and will be converted by the end of the year." Only the store's cola drinks would continue to contain an artificial colour, he added. It was hoped an alternative would be found soon.

The Pet-food Protein-gate
http://www.tweedie.us/2007/05/08/the-pet-food-protein-gate/
In the last Daily Dose, I exposed the scandalous and all-but-certain truth that somewhere along the line in the manufacturing of many brands and kinds of pet foods, poisonous melamine was being added to these victuals. The purpose: To sell more pet food by deceiving pet owners into believing the dry vegetable junk food they’re feeding their cats and dogs is protein-rich and good for them (it’s actually horrible for them, melamine-laced or not). As this crisis has unfolded, more information about how this toxic stuff may have gotten into the foods has surfaced… And it doesn’t look good on the pet-food industry, or on big-box pet supply retailers.As it turns out, like everything else in this country nowadays, the raw ingredients for ALL of the banned varieties of pet foods came not from hard-working American grain farmers - whose products (though still bad for us and our pets) and harvesting practices are strictly regulated by the USDA, FDA, and other agencies…But from communist CHINA, where pollution and environmental waste is rampant, regulation scare, and where the jack-booted government values nothing (not even life) so much as the influx of American dollars. And that river of money is enhanced if Chinese raw grains are thought to be richer in protein than grains from other places - even the U.S. of A. According to FDA sources (like their Chief Veterinarian, for one), raw melamine has been found - not just in the U.S, but in other nations, too - in rice protein concentrate, wheat gluten, and corn gluten supplies earmarked specifically for pet foods. All of these tainted stockpiles were imported from China.

Subject: A Statement From The Loose Change Crew
Date: 10 May 2007

From: http://loosechange911.blogspot.com/2007/05/statement-from-louder-than-words-and.html

5.08.2007

A Statement From Louder Than Words and MercuryMedia.

We write to you as individuals listed by ‘Patriots Question 9/11’ and the producers of Loose Change 2 and Loose Change Final Cut with a message to fellow ‘truthers’ and interested media entities, that we will never submit to the demonic forces that seek to silence us.

Over the last few weeks a number of ‘newsworthy’ individuals and organizations connected with Loose Change and the 9/11 truth movement have been subjected to a campaign of vicious intimidation. The intimidators include presenters on Rupert Murdoch’s Fox, ‘Fair and Balanced’ News, disgraced former US House Majority leader Tom ‘Hot Tub’ Delay, Michele ‘put every Muslim in a concentration camp’ Malkin and Nick ‘Virgin, I promise you PR poison’ Rizutto.

Their targets: Mark Cuban’s 29/29 entertainment group and his NBA team the Dallas Mavericks; Richard Branson’s Virgin Atlantic; actor Charlie Sheen; and talk-show host Rosie O’Donnell. Their alleged crime is associating themselves or their companies with Loose Change and suggesting that people should be free to decide for themselves about 9/11 truth.

We wholeheartedly condemn the actions of the disgraceful rabble that are attacking our supporters, and put them on notice of our continued resolve to expose the biggest hoax in history.

Furthermore, we believe that in attracting the vilification of those who clearly don’t respect the 1st amendment of the US constitution means we have reached a point in our campaign from which there is no turning back. 400 leading professors, pilots, physicists, politicians, law enforcement officials, 9/11 victim’s families are all fighting for 9/11 truth. Crucially according to respected pollsters, ‘Zogby’ over 42% of the American population, now believe that there has been a cover up over 9/11. This is translating into practical problems for the US administration, which is now finding it difficult to recruit potential jurors in trials of terrorist suspects because so many ordinary people now no longer believe the official story.

We will release our new film Loose Change Final Cut on the weekend preceding September 11th 2007, with screenings planned in key cities in the United States. Where we can’t release theatrically we will release online through pay-per-view. Already distributors in the UK, Australia, Norway, Denmark, Holland, Belgium, Sweden, France, Finland, Italy, and Japan are clamouring for rights to show the film in movie theatres and television stations are making bids to show the film soon after theatrical release.

To whet your appetites check out the one-minute teaser from the new film Loose Change Final Cut. The evidence we have collated for the movie has been fact-checked for accuracy by Dr. David Ray Griffin, and our message, that the official story of 9/11 cannot be true, will resonate around the world.

The attacks on our supporters in the entertainment business have only emboldened us. We know we are right, not just because of our evidence but because so much effort is going into frightening and silencing those that like us, dare to ask questions and demand answers about what really happened on that fateful day. Like Rosa Parks, Simon Wiesenthal, Winston Churchill, and Nelson Mandela, we will not veer from our course and we will not shut up. We will confront our enemies with the truth that they fear and counter the evil that they spout. This truth will shatter the illusion of the war on terror, and will expose the deceit of the incumbent American administration.

Be strong fellow ‘truthers’, the battles we have fought are just a foretaste of what is to come. We have not reached the end, not even the beginning of the end but perhaps the end of the beginning – the tipping point from which the momentum for 9/11 truth is gaining pace, sure in the knowledge that we have morality on our side. They can attack some of us, but they can’t attack all of us. They can smear us, they can intimidate us, but for each person they strike, one hundred more are there to take their place.

None of us chose 9/11 as our cause; it chose us. We didn’t want to believe the hoax of 9/11 but our heads and our hearts told us; that the official story just didn’t add up; that the laws of physics can’t lie; that 300 degree celsius fires can’t melt steel; that Building Seven, that 47 story steel and concrete edifice couldn’t just implode suddenly at 5.20PM on the afternoon of 11th September; and the BBC couldn’t have predicted and announced its implosion 20 minutes before it happened, unless forewarned.

Our movement has representatives from every country, every religion, every political strand, every income group, millions of us, all united in our conviction that the official story of 9/11 cannot be true. Our number is growing exponentially each day, as the clarity of our message gradually shines through - the fog of war promising to lift, with the dawn of the truth and a new day. We will expose the crime that was 9/11. We will prevail.

Psychiatrists and Psychologists: Government's 9/11 Story is Crazy

Should people who question the government's version of the events of 9/11 have their heads examined?

Well, the following psychiatrists and psychologists have concluded that the official version of 9/11 is false. Moreover, many of these mental health experts have concluded that the government's account is so obviously false that people who believe the government's version are in psychological denial:

Why the resistance to 9-11 truth?

by Carol Wolman

February 17, 2007

Anyone who has studied 9-11 at all knows it was an inside job.

Bush was not surprised. His brother Marvin's security company closed down one tower the week before and brought in lots of cables and other equipment. The towers, including building 7, were dropped by controlled demolition. The planes provided a dramatic cover story- great pix.

Rumsfeld had control of scrambling planes transferred to himself, exclusively, a few months before, and then disappeared that morning, so no planes intercepted the four hijacked airliners. Instead, there was a "stand-down" of NORAD. By some strange coincidence, a military exercise was being run that am which simulated planes crashing into buildings, so that the air traffic controllers were confused about whether the "attack" was real or part of a drill.

The buildings were pulverized, but the passports of the hijackers were miraculously thrown clear and quickly "discovered". There was no investigation, only a coverup that blamed the CIA and recommended police state measures to prevent future "attacks".

Then there's the lack of plane parts and small hole at the Pentagon. The flying out of the Bin Laden family the next day. The millions made on selling airline stocks short by those in the know. The confusion about passenger lists. The rejection of FBI reports about possible terrorists at US flying schools. And on and on.

There are so many videos that its hard to choose, but my favorites is 9-11 Mysteries at http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6708190071483512003 If you are not certain that 9-11 was an inside job, please watch this video. It's 1 1/2 hours of factual material that will convince you. You owe it to yourself and all the rest of us to learn the truth about 9-11.

Most Americans, even those who are working for peace and impeachment, are reluctant to believe that Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and the rest actually planned and implemented 9-11, even though their long range plan (PNAC) clearly states that they need "a new Pearl Harbor". The Reichstag fire is a better parallel, since it was also an inside job.

Polls show widespread skepticism of the cover story, and suspicion that Bush allowed 9-11 to happen, ignoring warnings from abroad and from his own intelligence service. But to think that he actually helped plan it, that demolition charges were set in the Towers by his brother's company- that is a depth of evil that most of us can't even begin to contemplate.

Why is this? Why, when we all know so well what liars and connivers the Bush people are, how little they care for human life, or truth, or honor, how greedy they are for power and how ruthless they are in pursuing it, why is it so hard to believe that they planned and carried out 9-11?

The degree of denial is astounding.

The cover story is paper thin. Osama was blamed within 24 hours, with no investigation. It's obvious that the 9-11 Commission asked the wrong question,- not whodunit, but why were the signals missed? It's obvious that Osama, no matter how bright and charismatic, could not have orchestrated such a massive attack from caves in Afghanistan. It's obvious that the Saudi hijackers, if that's who they were, were allowed into this country with no screening, allowed to take flight lessons, allowed to get on airplanes with box cutters- but how could all this be known, when the twin towers were pulverized? Etc. etc.

When denial is so strong, it's because people don't want to know the truth. The implications are too overwhelming, too frightening. Facing the truth about 9-11, that it was an inside job, planned and carried out with the help of the Bush family and administration, means facing the fact that we are saddled with a monster, a satanic creature, that will stop at nothing to gain total power.

It means facing what fools we are, what cowards we are, not to call a spade a spade.

It means seeing through the pious cloak of false Christianity and false patriotism that Bush has assumed.

It means facing the terrible danger we are in, of losing every ounce of precious freedom our forefathers fought so hard to obtain, and that we so take for granted.

It means looking frankly at our helplessness, our gullibility, our willingness to accept any form of hypocrisy, as long as we are allowed to go on shopping.

It means realizing that Bush controls vast portions of our society - that many people must know that 9-11 was an inside job, and won't step forward and say so, out of bribery, intimidation or both. A few brave souls have spoken up about the "power down" at the towers the week before, the evacuation of building 7 several hours before it, too, was brought down by preplanted demolition charges, the confusion at air traffic control when NORAD failed to intercept the planes that were so far off course - but not many dare to speak out. Why not?

It means realizing that the situation is so dire that we need help from a higher power, and should start praying, as sailors do when the ship is sinking.

Six years after 9-11, We the People are starting to recognize that we, too, have power. Some of us have been praying steadily, and the fruits are starting to show.

We've seen through the lies that took us into Iraq, and understand more about Bush's hypocrisy, and willingness to "fix the facts around the policy" as the Downing Street memo puts it. Osama is another convenient "fact", like WMD's in Iraq.

We've seen that we have been blessed with the internet, with which to hunt for the truth, disseminate it, work with one another to reach new depths of understanding of our situation.

We've come to understand that under our precious Constitution, We the People are sovereign, and don't have to tolerate another King George.

We've won an election, despite all the dirty tricks and voting machine fraud. We've even pushed the incoming Congress to censure Bush.

Our higher power has helped us all along to value truth above convenience, to fight with words rather than guns, to operate out of love for each other and future generations.

Perhaps now we are ready to face the truth about 9-11. The whole "war on terror" is based on 9-11, and is seen for the sham it is, once we realize it was an inside job. Once we do, our outrage will be so great that we will force Congress to impeach Bush and Cheney, the real hijackers.

In the name of the Prince of Peace,

___

S: Matthew dear, the questions are ready. You know that many have written about the disappearance of the honey bees and the shooting at Virginia Tech—which would you like to talk about first?

MATTHEW: Dear soul, let us speak about Virginia Tech. Because that is my sister's alma mater, to you this personal connection with our family made the senseless killing seem even more a tragic event. Your first thought at seeing the TV newscast was that the shooter was acting out of mind-controlled programming, and I shall tell readers what I told you: No, he was not—he is a dramatic example of what I have explained about the higher energies on Earth magnifying all human characteristics and feelings. He was a desperately tormented young man who felt that no one cared about him and he harbored tendencies toward violence. As his feelings and those tendencies kept intensifying along with the energy magnification, he reached the point where he lost all sense of reason and value of any life, especially his own, and that is when he planned the massacre at the school. This is part of the background in that happening.

Another part is my reply when you asked me at that time: Why did all those promising young lives have to end? and I told you it was in accordance with their soul contracts. Just as I left at a young age because my Earth lifetime missions had been completed, so had theirs. At soul level they knew that their physical deaths, like many other young lives seemingly cut short, will reverberate with lasting and profound goodness that collectively will evoke in humankind greater sensitivity and caring. The same is true about the professors who died—they, too, had completed their chosen missions, and their inspiring influence on many people did not end with their physical lifetimes.

I have told you that pre-birth agreements are designed for the spiritual growth of all involved, and it is no different in this violent ending of all those lives, including Cho's. He agreed to fill the role that would assist the others to leave when they had fulfilled their chosen experiencing, and of all the souls who moved forward that day, his entire Earth lifetime was the most difficult to endure. This is a related aspect of that happening, why Cho was so psychologically unstable: He also agreed to take on part of the psychic traumas that several weaker personages in the cumulative soul chose to experience but were not sufficiently inured to the hardships of third density to complete them in one physical lifetime. By sharing their chosen lessons, Cho helped those personages attain the degree of experiencing their cumulative soul needed for overall balance. This allowance is a form of divine grace that you could think of as similar to your "buddy system" in diving, and it is offered to souls in this unprecedented era of opportunity for rapid completion of third density experiencing. It is the same in soul clusters, where the stronger, more experienced souls share the hardest physical or emotional lessons that the weaker, less experienced souls need for balance and choose to learn. Please do not think this arrangement is unfair to the strong souls or that the ones who receive help with their lessons did not actually learn them—there is an energetic leveling that provides spiritual growth for all in these shared experiences. None of the people involved are consciously aware of the cooperative effort, but when they return to spirit life where all is known, they feel elation for successfully winding up third density karmic lessons and gratitude to all the souls who assisted them attain their goal.

S: Matthew, there's so much I don't understand about all the personages living simultaneously in the continuum and how they cooperate to benefit the cumulative souls and the soul clusters.       

MATTHEW: We know, Mother, and you are not alone in this. There is no way to understand something that you cannot consciously relate to, but the understanding will come when Earth reaches the vibrations where there is no barrier between consciousness and soul, where the Oneness of All is known; and if contracts call for souls to enter their next spirit lifetime prior to Earth reaching her destination, they will understand even sooner.  

S: Either way is fine with me—I just want to understand! Matthew, how much of the violence in our world is a result of the higher energies?

MATTHEW: I cannot give you a percentage of the violence or numbers of deaths due specifically to this, but I can tell you that the opposite effect—the light generated by increasingly positive characteristics and loving feelings—far exceeds negative results. What happened at Virginia Tech is a much more dramatic example of how the energies are working than say, situations between mates or working colleagues, a teacher and a student, friends. Yet all in these relationships are affected by the energies that, depending upon each individual's reaction, are either strengthening or diminishing the value of the associations.

Furthermore, this magnification of energy forces is "separating the wheat from the chaff" insofar as people's intentions—it is forcing them to choose between the light and the dark. Everything in your world is in accelerated motion during this unique time in your planet's long history, and what I explained about balance's need for "heavy" roles notwithstanding, there can be no more fence-straddling. The infusion of light is fortifying conscience and heightening sensitivities, and those who resist and stubbornly cling to attitudes and actions that cause suffering for others are thereby choosing not to accompany Earth into fifth density. Their bodies will die because their lifetime energy registration—the composite of every thought, feeling, motive and action—is not compatible with the higher vibrations of Earth's ascension pathway.

How can you know who doesn't go along with her because of that universal law about energy and who is leaving in accordance with soul contracts? How they ultimately are remembered. It doesn't matter if persons are international figures or are known only within their circle of family and friends, whether their lives affected world events or only the people close to them, they are remembered in accordance with how they treated others. The lives touched by the light-filled souls are enriched and there will be widespread relief when tyrants die and no longer oppress nations. I emphasized "ultimately" remembered because you must realize that everything in your world that is considered unconscionable and divisive has been necessary for balanced experiencing. For millennia all of you have played "good guy" and "bad guy" multiple times to achieve balance yourselves and help other souls do the same. You don't consciously know if "that bad guy" is helping one or many "good guys" achieve balance—this is why we have urged you not to judge anyone! Now, in this extraordinary era of winding up third density karmic lessons, the extremes between "good" and "bad" no longer are needed and the intensifying light is reconciling those opposites into itself—remember, in light there is balance. And when you and Earth are in the vibrations where consciousness and soul merge, the full panorama of what now is known only at soul level will unfold.

S: There's a question that I think is appropriate here: By bringing light to smaller situations, like families and communities, wouldn't that expand and transform the darkness everywhere, like running clean water through a clogged pipe—eventually the water coming out is clean? 

MATTHEW: That excellent analogy would be even better if it stated that transformation begins within each individual and flows out purely, cleanly, into families, communities and onward. Many souls are feeling that they should be doing something meaningful on a grander scale, but because they don't know their pre-birth missions and feel no strong direction to follow, they feel disquieted and helpless to make a difference. Each of you is a brilliant spark of god/goddess-ness, a powerhouse of energy with unlimited potential, but it is not necessary for all to perform profound acts! Only a comparative few of Earth's population need to be national leaders or hold other influential positions; to assist the light, the vast majority need only to kindly and generously share their knowledge, talents, time and resources with those who are in need. Helping others brings balance to you and to them, and the light this generates flows outward to benefit all. Please let this knowledge end your "stewing" about what more you can do and replace that unsettling feeling with the contentment that your balanced BEing is an invaluable contribution to spreading love, peace and harmony throughout your world.

Mother, recently you responded to a reader who was asking about balance, and later she wrote that you answered all her questions. I think your succinct, yet deeper explanation than what I just said can be helpful to others too, so please insert her note and your reply.

Matthew has stated that the elite were given the enormous power they possess via an agreement in order to create balance. Is it possible to get a more detailed explanation of the concept of "balance", in both general and planetary terms? Also, has that balance been attained yet?

What you wrote—"the elite were given the enormous power they possess via an agreement in order to create balance" and "the concept of balance"—is a misinterpretation of what Matthew has said. First, balance isn't a concept—it's the universe in constant motion. In balance there is light, which is the same energy as love, simply expressed differently; this light/love energy is the total essence of Creator, and the goal of all souls is to return to their origin in Creator. (Because I don't know if you're familiar with all of Matthew's messages or the books, I'll attach material in Revelations for a New Era that explains the difference between Creator and God.)

The aim of souls' multiple lifetimes is to fill gaps in experiencing or to master "godly" characteristics so that overall, balance can be attained.

Karma, unlike what some think of as "reward or punishment," is the opportunity to practice those characteristics or to experience the opposite of the previous lifetime(s). In the latter case, for instance, someone who killed needs to know what it feels like to be killed; someone who was wealthy needs to live in impoverished circumstances; someone who was a tyrannical leader needs to experience what it's like to be oppressed. The result of balanced experiencing is spiritual growth, or soul evolution, the incremental steps in remembering our origins in Creator and returning to that perfection.

Prior to birth, a soul reviews its cumulative lifetimes and chooses specific genetic and environmental circumstances that will provide the opportunity to achieve balance, to grow spiritually. The pre-birth agreements made by each soul and all principals who are affected by that soul's life are designed for the spiritual growth of all, and what is chosen by each is that individual soul's contract. The souls who choose the "harsh" experiencing of deprivation and hardships need other souls to provide those kinds of situations, and the latter souls also benefit, balance-wise, from playing out their "heavy" roles. However, many millennia ago in our linear time concept (and linear time is only a concept) this "win-win" arrangement got out of hand because after birth, we don't consciously know what our souls chose and we make free will choices that aren't in our contracts, so we need more and more lifetimes to balance the previous ones. Life on Earth became like a merry-go-round that kept spiraling downward until it reached the lowest part of third density.

Earth is a highly evolved soul with a planetary body, and her karma is the collective karma of all her human residents. Throughout the millennia that they kept treating each other and the animal and plant kingdoms brutally, thus continually incurring the need for more opportunities to overcome their imbalance, Earth's body became correspondingly imbalanced. Her soul always was in the higher vibrations as her body descended deeply into third density where negativity—"darkness"—thrives. She gave her light to sustain all of her life forms until her body was nearly depleted and so out of balance that her orbit became dangerously unstable; she had to decide whether to let her body die or ask for help. She asked for help, and God authorized spiritually, intellectually and technologically advanced civilizations to respond to her request.    

That brings us up to what's been happening for the past 60-some years—those civilizations' infusion of "light" saved Earth's planetary life and now is exposing and transmuting the negativity—"darkness"—that so long had prevailed. Individuals who absorbed the light started generating their own, thus the light on the planet has been intensifying for over six decades. In this unique time on Earth—in the universe!—some souls agreed to fill the "dark" roles that would conclude all third density karmic experiencing. They also agreed that at a certain point, they would join the light (remember, in light there is balance, the "win-win"); however, some of them became so entrenched in their power and greed, that they knowingly and willingly reneged on their agreement to join the light.

These "dark" ones are being exposed and their power is increasingly diminishing, but balance—the reconciliation of the dark and the light, or, the positive and negative extremes of polarity—hasn't yet been achieved as evident by the deception and corruption still "coming to light" and the continued wars and other violence as well as the unconscionable disparity between the "haves" and "have nots." But this reconciliation—balance—is happening as Earth is ascending into the higher densities where the light is so intense that darkness cannot co-exist.

MATTHEW: Thank you, Mother. Now let us talk about the honey bees.

S: Fine! Most people just asked why so many have disappeared, but some are wondering if this is linked to cell phone usage or chemtrails, and a few want to know what will happen to food production without the bees.

MATTHEW: Like all other life forms in your world, bees have been adversely affected by the various sources of pollution, but the "last straw" is the proliferation of electromagnetic waves from the increased numbers and usage of wireless communication instruments. Bees are strong in will and dedicated to their pollinating mission as they understand their important role in food production. They resisted leaving as long as they could, but ultimately their bodies became too fragile to continue viability against the onslaught of currents that are in conflict with their own energy systems. 

The bees still flourishing where there are no, or many fewer, overhead electrical wires or cell phone towers eventually will instinctively populate in great numbers and many will migrate to other fertile areas when all pollutants on the planet have been eradicated. In the meantime, the Devic kingdom is helping to fill the cross-pollination gap by stepping up their interaction with the plant and animal kingdoms. Although fairies and leprechauns are the most popularly known, albeit mainly in fantasy stories, the beloved Devic kingdom is teeming with various-sized unseen life forms that fill myriad essential roles that help Mother Nature thrive. Some of them are so tiny that they wouldn't be noticed, but others are the size of domestic cats or even larger, and their high vibrational levels afford the security they need in a world where far too often animal and plant souls still are treated as if they are merely things without intelligent consciousness and a spectrum of feelings. Although on occasion some Devas may be seen by especially energy-sensitive folks, at this juncture, their safety lies in their invisibility to most eyes.

S: The symbiotic aspects of all life forms on Earth are really amazing! So the Devas filling in for the bees means that there won't be the dire food shortages that some are expecting?

MATTHEW: Not from lack of pollination, Mother, but until all the greed and wasteful and hoarding inclinations in humankind no longer are part of the make-up, millions will continue to die from starvation and disease due to malnutrition. But that is coming to an end too, along with all the other grievous circumstance still affecting and ending so many, many lives.   

S: This reassurance is important, Mash. I'm hearing from many light workers who are being besieged with serious health, financial and relationship situations that make it more difficult to see the terrible things continuing. Do you know what's going to happen in Iraq since Bush vetoed the budget because of the timeline for US troop withdrawal?

MATTHEW: No, not in the immediate days or weeks. Even though the Congress was expecting that development, there are no viable contingency plans that will satisfy the majority of citizens‚ desire to end the war and also produce a bill that the president will sign. Please remember that although he does agree with the veto, taking that nationally, even internationally, unpopular stance was not his decision—he is following orders dictated by the peak Illuminati members of the faction that he and his family are part of. They will not voluntarily relinquish occupation of a land that long ago was planned as a major step in their intent to control the entire Mideast. The US embassy compound that blatantly exceeds all embassy requirements is being constructed according to Illuminati plans as it is to be their Mideast headquarters. It is also imperative to them that Bush retain his "wartime presidency" status, which entitles him to sign whatever executive orders he wishes and institute repressive policies without congressional approval—financially and politically enslaving US citizens also is part of their long-range plans. It is as I have stated before, these dark ones have lost all connection with reality—they still believe that with time and violent perseverance, their multistage plan to control the world will succeed. Even as members are defecting along with people formerly influenced heavily by the Illuminati, the most powerful in this disparate group cannot accept that already they have failed.

At this point we see the end of the war as a "fizzling out" rather than some formal declaration of peace. This isn't a case of two countries at war with each other, so there can no peace accord, only the withdrawal of foreign troops from a country whose people want to govern themselves. What once was an even war vs. peace energetic situation in Earth's field of potential has become so lopsided in favor of peace that the momentum for ending the war is steamrolling the wisps of opposing energy. Some of this is due to unpublicized pressure on the Bush administration by strong countries, some is the growing outrage of US citizens toward their government that is ignoring their desire for peace and the great need for improved national situations, and some is the few members of Congress whose indefatigable efforts to end the war are gathering support of colleagues. Yes, some of these new supporters are acting on self-interest—being reelected next year—but by election time, those who are self-serving will be publicly known, and regardless of their motives, their support to withdraw the troops is part of the anti-war energy surge.

What we see coming in the months ahead is the departure of mercenaries in the CIA's "black-ops" activities and other civilians employed in various roles to keep the warfront fueled because of increased danger of injury or death, and in some instances, nonpayment for services. More top military will speak out in opposition to continuing a futile war; not only casualties, but fatigue and discouragement about prolonged duty tours are weakening the fighting force, and field commanders will press for the troops‚ return home. Now that the shameful neglect of seriously wounded and traumatized military men and women is out in the open, they will receive the proper care and financial assistance that has been largely denied them.

As for Iraq, the stabilization that Bush must keep insisting requires our troops‚ presence will not begin until all foreign troops have left. There will be a period of chaos and secular killings before the light is intense enough to uplift the masses living with grief and fear, and to end the physical life of the radicals whose hearts could not be softened. Those who have fled will return and there will be unity of spirit and respect of different views as the Iraqis join together harmoniously to rebuild their ravaged country, an incremental process over the next few years.

S: Thank you, dear—many prayers are going out to those people who are living with grief and fear and hatred. A different source of fear is that the FDA is going to take control of nutritional supplements that are helping many people to stay healthy. A lot of writers hope you can say something encouraging about this.    

MATTHEW: I wish I could say that all who benefit from the many natural products will continue to have unlimited access to them, but at this point I can't. There is encouragement, however. If those products do come under FDA control, it would be for the short term as all darkly devised strategies and laws that harm or hinder your well being will be ending. Also reason for feeling encouraged is that the energy of the light grid is reducing and will eliminate the dark use of electromagnetic waves, thus ending the distressing physical and emotional anomalies due to that cause; and bodies that absorb the light will have increased self-healing ability without supplemental means.

And please do not forget that what you believe about your health condition is paramount! I am not overlooking soul contracts that include physical sickness, pain and debilitation to balance other lifetimes; in those cases, the souls chose to rise above self-pity, attempt to overcome disablement, and see the blessings in their lives; and at the same time their caretakers are balancing their previous experiencing. But far more of you chose physically sound bodies, and in health matters as in all other facets of life, fear is your worst enemy! It causes illness, and because fear energy forms a formidable barrier in your system, your bodies‚ self-healing mechanisms cannot operate effectively. Fear clouds your thoughts with negativity and causes pre
