PEACE WILL PREVAIL ON EARTH

The Moment of Truth Series #14: Hanging by a Thread... of Light!
Hello everysoul!
In the wake of the US prompted attack of South Ossetia by Georgia last Friday and following several reports indicating a massive naval build up underway in the Persian Gulf pointing towards a possible blockade of Iran if the US Congress approves such a measure when it reconvenes after Labor Day, it came to me that it was time to ask our brother Matthew in the heavenly realm what the Earth monitors there were seeing about the current situation in the Middle East. Here is what Suzy kindly sent me today...
Special Message from Matthew - August 13, 2008
With the love and blessings of the universe, this is Matthew speaking on behalf of all souls at this station. We thank you, dear soul Jean, for this opportunity to speak about world events that are dominant in hearts and minds throughout your world. The combination of situations does seem to you perilous indeed, yet we tell you DO NOT FEAR! Do not fear what you hear is happening between Russia and Georgia or the worsening of hostilities in the Mideast or speculation about the advent of biochemical warfare. Immeasurably more powerful forces are working to prevent the kinds of disasters that “experts” with the aid of your media are ominously reporting as imminently likely or inevitable.
As awkward an image as this may be, please let me describe the present moment by asking you to imagine the cannons of war filled with myriad little darts that are shot out willy-nilly, then fall to the ground where some land as intended. The darts represent attempts to assassinate; provoke “enemies” with threats; drive tanks across borders; amass sea troops; bomb strategic targets; displace large numbers of civilian populations; immobilize area infrastructures; keep inflammatory rhetoric flowing; incite uprisings where formerly there was order; keep despots in power; instigate suicide bombings here, there and everywhere. In short, create chaos, death, destruction and FEAR. All of this and more harm is being caused by a few crazed individuals acting out their own fear and desperation, and their free will decisions to do so cannot be denied by God or any of his soul-selves who could prevent those kinds of incidents of dark origin.
Now please see the cannons in a larger image, with Earth's horizon in the background and a wide band of golden light almost touching the planet. This time the cannons are shooting forth only a few long, straight arrows, which swiftly disappear into the light band. The arrows represent the ultimate aim of those crazed individuals: by whatever means it takes, to invade, conquer and control all lands on Earth and enslave surviving peoples. The band of light is the “end times” for them and their diabolical plan.
Those depictions may seem a frivolous way to describe what is being portrayed there as having catastrophic, even potentially lethal effects for humankind, but my purpose is exactly to make light of that darkness and inspire you to join all souls in spirit and physical worlds who are working continuously to keep intensifying this light!
And there is an actual light band, more accurately termed grid or matrix, protectively surrounding the planet-it is a network of Christed light, the most powerful energy in the cosmos. Also, the golden band of my graphic represents the strength of the civilizations authorized by God to use their technology to prevent a nuclear war; thwart all efforts to initiate major terrorist events like “9/11”; neutralize the poisons in biochemical weaponry; and do whatever else is deemed necessary to honor Earth's free will decision that all darkness be eliminated from her planetary body and peace and harmony among all humankind and Nature's kingdoms be restored.
In the timelessness of the continuum, Earth's return to her Eden health and beauty, a world where the essence of all life is unconditional love, already is a reality; however, in your linear time, the critical moment at hand needs light to create that reality. We are asking you to remember what we have told you through our various receivers: You chose to be where you are; countless other souls who wanted to participate in this unprecedented process of rapid world transformation did not have the qualities required-spiritual strength, moral integrity, experience, wisdom and determination to lift beloved Earth out of the zone where darkness thrives and into the higher vibrations of the Golden Age. You do! But you cannot be held captive of fear and also have light to illuminate your pathway and radiate outward to help transmute the negativity of present circumstances into light. You must choose, and choose the light you must!
(End of message)
So as you see, once again we are urged to focus our unimaginably powerful creative energies towards assisting the emergence of a New Era of Love, Peace and Harmony on Earth, thus nullifying all possible dark scenarios with the combined power of our faith in the Higher Wisdom guiding all souls of goodwill...
What we believe in, we create!

THE QUOTES
"The US is not a superpower. It is a bankrupt farce run by imbeciles who were installed by stolen elections arranged by Karl Rove and Diebold. It is a laughing stock, that ignorantly affronts and attempts to bully an enormous country equipped with tens of thousands of nuclear weapons."
- Paul Craig Roberts -- Taken from http://www.counterpunch.org/roberts08132008.html
"We have done our utmost to reverse the tide of media disinformation, to inform our readers and the broader public on the impending dangers underlying the US military adventure. This is the most serious crisis in modern history which in a very real sense threatens the future of humanity."
- Michel Chossudovsky -- taken from "Naval Blockade" or All Out War Against Iran? included below
"While attempting to act as the planet's nuclear watchdogs, the United States and Great Britain have become two of the world's largest, cancer-causing radiated dust and rusty depleted uranium projectile polluters. Using tanks and planes, the US and British military have fired hundreds of tons of radioactive depleted uranium munitions (DU) while fighting the first Gulf War, the Balkans War, and the more recent wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. For two decades, successive US and British government leadership has done little overall to clean up the hazardous war waste. And, when repeatedly asked questions about it, spokespersons for Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown and US President George W. Bush, as well as the two presidential candidates, Senator Barack Obama (D-Illinois) and Senator John McCain (R-Arizona), didn't respond to a large number of e-mails and telephone calls over a month's time. Ironically, while firing this nuclear by-product all over Iraq, Afghanistan and the former Yugoslavia, both Britain and the US regularly criticized and put financial or political pressure on Iran, Syria, North Korea and Pakistan for developing nuclear weapons."

SPECIAL EARTH HEAL PLANETARY HEALING EVENTS
Please send a prayer and/or your healing energy to the thousands of people being tortured during incarceration with a special focus on Aafia Siddiqui and Mohammed Omar.
The Earth Heal Clinic invites all people everywhere to send prayers and healing energy to support the energy work, starting at 5 pm GMT/UT and continuing until 8 pm GMT/UC on both Friday August 15 and Friday August 23. To find out your local starting time CLICK HERE
The treatment will include a focus on the life-threatening injuries and suffering of Dr. Aafia Siddiqui, the Pakistani woman neuroscientist who was arrested in Afghanistan five years ago, and has been held at US Bagram prison in Afghanistan, where she was tortured and raped repeatedly. Not much is known about the fate of her three children arrested with her, who will also be included in the healing work. Dr Siddiqui is also suffering from a bullet wound in the abdomen for which she has not received medical treatment, and which has reportedly gone septic. Please send a prayer for the healing of Dr Siddiqui any time before or during the treatment process on both days. The background to this story and a photograph of her at her graduation ceremony is available at http://www.aztlan.net/strange_case_of_dr_siddiqui.htm
Here is a related article in the Guardian:
Al-Qaida: Terror suspect says she was secretly detained and tortured for years by US (August 8 2008)
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/aug/08/alqaida.pakistan
A Pakistani woman charged with attacking US army officers in Afghanistan last month has told her lawyer that she was in US custody for years, despite claims that she was only arrested last month. Aafia Siddiqui, who is accused of being a key al-Qaida operative, disappeared five years ago. Now being detained in New York, she said she had been held elsewhere for years and was tortured.Her US lawyer, Elaine Sharp, who interviewed her for three hours on Wednesday, said her description of the place she was detained meant it could only be Bagram, the US base in Afghanistan. "The abuse was horrendous, it was physical, as well as psychological. It was torture," Sharp said. "When you're locked up in such a place and treated so horrifically, they don't exactly give you a calendar, but she says it was a very long time, years for sure ... They [her captors] were Americans, there's no doubt about it." While Sharp declined to give details of the alleged abuse, Siddiqui's sister, Fauzia, told a press conference yesterday in Islamabad that Siddiqui had been "raped repeatedly". Sharp said Siddiqui was not getting proper treatment for a bullet wound, which may have gone septic. The lawyer suggested it was the impending US election, that led the authorities to put Siddiqui on trial through the regular criminal courts, rather than sending her to Guantánamo, where almost all other al-Qaida suspects have been held. "It's the November elections. And they've chosen New York, home of the Twin Towers, where sentiment is most prejudicial." The US department of justice did not return calls seeking a response, while the US army in Afghanistan said a spokesman was not available.
For those who are able to do distant reiki or other distant healing, a photograph of Dr Siddiqui in her current condition is shown at http://www.cageprisoners.com/articles.php?id=25738
We will also be doing healing work for the Palestinian journalist, Mohammed Omar, who was tortured at the Allenby crossing into Gaza while on his way back from a European tour. In London, he was awarded the Martha Gellhorn prize for investigative reporting. Omar suffered injuries and a nervous breakdown as a result of the abuse. His story is told here. For those who can send reiki energy, his photograph can be seen at http://rafah.virtualactivism.net/news/todaymain.htm
Please make a prayer and send your healing energy to the collective consciousness of all the people suffering in horrendous conditions in detention. During these treatments, we will also be facilitating planetary healing work for the Highest Good of All, under guidance from the collective Higher Self for the ongoing situation in Georgia and the massive build up of war ships threatening Iran in the Gulf.
The Earth Heal Clinic provides distant healing work on a pro bono basis to those in real need, including refugees, people in war-torn areas, indigent and homeless people, as well as animals.

Iran War Countdown Started? (14. August 2008)
http://sabbah.biz/mt/archives/2008/08/14/iran-war-countdown-started/
Biggest ever U.S. naval built-up in the Gulf - France and Britain following suit. As we write, the arrival of new U.S. warships will mark the largest build-up of Naval forces in the Gulf since the 1991 Gulf War.The aircraft carriers USS Theodore Roosevelt and the USS Ronald Reagan, along with the USS Iwo Jima, an Amphibious Assault Ship are sailing toward the Persian Gulf to reinforce the US strike forces in the region, along with a British Royal Navy carrier battle group and a French nuclear hunter-killer submarine. This move follows the ominous Operation Brimstone, a massive military exercise involving more than a dozen warships from the US, England, and France in the Atlantic Ocean in preparation for a possible confrontation with Iran.The USS Roosevelt, which participated in the just-concluded exercise, and the USS Ronald Reagan will join two US naval battle groups in the area: the USS Abraham Lincoln with its Carrier Strike Group Nine ; and the USS Peleliu, and Amphibious Assault Ship with its expeditionary strike group. Naval forces now heading towards the Gulf include: (...) This massive deployment means that hundreds of nuclear-armed warplanes, thousands of troops, and destroyers capable of launching cruise missiles carrying nuclear weapons, bunker busters, or fragmentation bombs will be available for a strike on Iran. While Russia is bogged down with the crisis in Georgia, and China is occupied with the Olympics, the Bush Administration may believe that this is an opportune time to strike. This massive deployment is occurring as both Houses of Congress are set to approve resolutions that would mandate a U.S. blockade (which is an act of war under international law).In the next few days and weeks, we will be mobilizing in the streets against an attack on Iran.
Burma Campaign Australia - Their Courage, Our Solidarity. Democracy Will Prevail in Burma
http://www.aucampaignforburma.org/
On 8 August 1988 (8888) tens of thousands of people across Burma rose up in peaceful demonstration against the military regime. Led by students - monks and other religious peoples, civil servants, workers, lawyers, men, women and children all risked their lives for democracy. On this one day over 3 000 people were killed by the military rulers and thousands more forced to flee their homeland. 8 August 2008 (8808) marks the 20th anniversary of this event. In these 20 years, life for the people of Burma has deteriorated and the regime is as cruel as ever. The brutal crackdown on protesters, led by monks, last September - in what became known as the "Saffron Revolution" - and the regime's callous disregard for the people of Burma in the aftermath of Cyclone Nargis, has proved this beyond doubt. Now is a critical time for action to bring change to the people of Burma. Activists inside and outside of Burma are working together to achieve democracy and peace. The can you spot the difference campaign calls on the Australian Government to enact economic and trade sanctions and visa sanctions against the military, their families and state enterprises. NOTE: They have a petition for people in Australia which you can download through the URL above. Check also this other Burma Campaign in the UK at http://www.burmacampaign.org.uk/ and all the other Burma organisations worldwide if you want to offer your support in your area.

Military strike on Iran's nuclear facilities may not be effective
http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2008-08/08/content_9055209.htm
The analysis by the Washington-based Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS) found that Iran's uranium facilities are too widely dispersed and protected -- and, in some cases, concealed too well -- to be effectively destroyed by warplanes. And any damage to Iran's nuclear program could be quickly repaired.
Navy relieves commander of air recon squadron (August 13, 2008)
Bush wants to nuke Iran and Bentley wouldn't agree, or what? MILITARY BRASS REBELLION IS PROBABLY OUR BEST HOPE OF AVOIDING A NUCLEAR CONFLAGRATION AT THIS POINT... Pray that there are more Bentleys willing to put sand in Bush/Cheney/Kissinger's gears
http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5iKDcgevZDggHCdTkRzapHfQC_a2wD92H4SBG3
SAN DIEGO (AP) - The commander of a Navy air reconnaissance squadron that provides the president and the defense secretary the airborne ability to command the nation's nuclear weapons has been relieved of duty, the Navy said Tuesday. Cmdr. Shawn Bentley was relieved of duty Monday by the Navy for loss of confidence in his ability to command, only three months after taking the job. Capt. Brian Costello, commander of the Navy's Strategic Communications Wing One, removed Bentley from command, said Lt. Cmdr. Charlie Brown, a spokesman for the Naval Air Forces. Brown said Bentley, who is based with the squadron at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma, was removed after an investigation by the Navy's Inspector General. The Navy did not release any details about the investigation or about any possible allegations against Bentley.But a source close to the investigation told The Associated Press that Bentley's removal regarded an undisclosed personal matter and was not related to the squadron's missions or duties. The source spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the matter. There was no telephone listing for Shawn Bentley in Oklahoma City, and the Navy did not make Bentley available for comment.The primary duty of the squadron, nicknamed the "Ironman," is to provide communication with ballistic missile submarines, Brown said.It is also one of three squadrons that provides airborne communications for the president and defense secretary to command and control the nation's nuclear submarines, bombers and missile silos, according to the Wing's official Web site.Brown said Cmdr. Erik Johnson, who previously served as the commanding officer of the VQ-3, has resumed command of the squadron.Bentley has been temporarily assigned to a staff job with the Strategic Communications wing, Brown said.Bentley's removal, which was first reported by The Navy Times, is the latest in a series of high-profile firings by the Navy.Last month, the Navy relieved the commander of the USS Pearl Harbor of duty after the ship ran aground in the Persian Gulf. That was followed days later by the announcement the Navy fired its commanding officer and executive officer of the USS George Washington after a fire onboard the nuclear-powered aircraft caused $70 million in damage.

Three major US naval strike forces due this week in Persian Gulf
http://www.debka.com/headline.php?hid=5499
DEBKAfile’s military sources note that the arrival of the three new American flotillas will raise to five the number of US strike forces in Middle East waters – an unprecedented build-up since the crisis erupted over Iran’s nuclear program. This vast naval and air strength consists of more than 40 carriers, warships and submarines, some of the last nuclear-armed, opposite the Islamic Republic, a concentration last seen just before the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003. Our military sources postulate five objects of this show of American muscle: 1. The US, aided also by France, Britain and Canada, is finalizing preparations for a partial naval blockade to deny Iran imports of benzene and other refined oil products. This action would indicate that the Bush administration had thrown in the towel on stiff United Nations sanctions and decided to take matters in its own hands. 2. Iran, which imports 40 percent of its refined fuel products from Gulf neighbors, will retaliate for the embargo by shutting the Strait of Hormuz oil route chokepoint, in which case the US naval and air force stand ready to reopen the Strait and fight back any Iranian attempt to break through the blockade. 3. Washington is deploying forces as back-up for a possible Israeli military attack on Iran’s nuclear installations. 4. A potential rush of events in which a US-led blockade, Israeli attack and Iranian reprisals pile up in a very short time and precipitate a major military crisis. 5. While a massive deployment of this nature calls for long planning, its occurrence at this time cannot be divorced from the flare-up of the Caucasian war between Russia and Georgia. While Russia has strengthened its stake in Caspian oil resources by its overwhelming military intervention against Georgia, the Americans are investing might in defending the primary Persian Gulf oil sources of the West and the Far East. DEBKAfile’s military sources name the three US strike forces en route to the Gulf as the USS Theodore Roosevelt , the USS Ronald Reagan and the USS Iwo Jima . Already in place are the USS Abraham Lincoln in the Arabian Sea opposite Iranian shores and the USS Peleliu which is cruising in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.

Why Iran Won't Budge on Nukes
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article20459.htm
To speak frankly, with its bellicose behavior the West is pushing Iran towards nuclear weapons, even if they don't want them now."
America's Israeli-Occupied Media (August 12, 2008)
http://www.antiwar.com/orig/giraldi.php?articleid=13288
There should be little doubt that the Israeli government is making every effort to jump-start a war against Iran sooner rather than later. Many Israelis not surprisingly believe it is in their interest to convince the United States to attack Iran so that Israel will not have to do it, and they are hell-bent on bringing that about. Unfortunately, their efforts are being aided and abetted by a U.S. mainstream media that is unwilling to ask any hard questions or challenge the assumptions of the Israeli government.Israeli intellectuals such as Benny Morris have been provided a platform to argue implausibly that a little war is necessary right now to prevent a larger nuclear conflict. The repeated visits to Washington by Israeli Minister of Defense Ehud Barak and Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi to pressure Washington to commit to a military option are generally unreported in the U.S. media, and no one is asking why the United States should be involved in what is clearly a "wag the dog" scenario.For once, however, some officials in Washington appear to have developed a backbone and are pushing back. A flurry of visits to Israel by Defense Secretary Robert Gates, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm. Michael Mullen, and intelligence chiefs Mike McConnell and Michael Hayden have made clear that there is considerable opposition at the Pentagon and in intelligence circles to starting a third war at this time. Israel says that Iran is about to obtain a nuclear weapon while the Pentagon and American intelligence services are providing a more cautious assessment, putting forward the U.S. view that Iran is still far removed from having nuclear capability. (...) On the home front there is also some additional good news for those who prefer diplomacy to warfare: Congress is in recess and won't be able to do anything truly stupid, at least not until next month. House Resolution 362 has 261 co-sponsors, but it is still in committee and the word is that it will be rewritten because of concerns about some of its language. Though not binding, it would have recommended a blockade of Iranian ports to stop the import of petroleum products, which many have rightly seen as an act of war. Senate Resolution 580, which has 49 senators as co-sponsors, is also reportedly being redrafted. The antiwar movement has claimed some credit for stopping the two resolutions in their original versions because of a mobilization that produced thousands of calls to congressmen, but AIPAC has been lobbying heavily for the approval of both resolutions. I expect that the Israel lobby will prevail. Both resolutions should pass with overwhelming majorities when Congress reconvenes after Labor Day. The principal problem in attempting to derail the rush to war has been the mainstream media, which provides a bully pulpit for those who want war. The media also accepts the framework of the Iran "problem" as defined by Washington and Tel Aviv, refusing to enter into any kind of serious, adult discussion of how the outstanding issues between the U.S. and Iran might be resolved CLIP

This is a manageable number; we could pay it off in a few decades if we quit buying luxuries like food and clothing, and take a few other minor economy measures. Unfortunately, the "$10 trillion" number was produced by government accounting, which among other things allows one to ignore Social Security, Medicare, and the new prescription drug benefit. This is like ignoring rent, food, and utilities in your household budget. it will lead to a few bounced checks. Our real debt is about ten times higher.

Sub-prime crisis: Property crash pushes third of US homebuyers into negative equity (August 14 2008)
http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2008/aug/14/subprimecrisis.housingmarket?gusrc=rss&feed=worldnews
The US property market has collapsed with such ferocity that almost a third of homebuyers are trapped in negative equity with mortgages outstripping the value of their homes.House prices in the US are plunging at their fastest rate for 12 years, leaving millions of people struggling to meet home loans often provided by unscrupulous lenders after making minimal checks on the suitability of borrowers.Among Americans who bought homes since the beginning of 2003, some 29.1% are in negative equity according to research by Zillow.com, an online specialist in house values. For those who bought in 2006, as many as 45% have mortgages under water in comparison to the sale value of their property."For homeowners who need to sell, this is a gravely serious situation," Stan Humphries, Zillow's vice-president of analytics, told Bloomberg News."It can also be harmful to communities where the number of unsold homes adds more houses to inventory and puts downward pressure on prices." The latest figures on house prices showed a year on year drop of 9.9%.Worst hit are previously booming areas such as Los Angeles, where prices are down 27%, and Las Vegas, which has seen a drop of 21%. Citigroup's housebuilding analyst, Josh Levin, yesterday predicted that property prices could continue falling through 2010 and possibly 2011. One of America's largest mortgage finance companies recently forecast that prices would drop by between 18% and 20% from "peak to trough" in the current downturn. Freddie Mac said the US property market was in its most dismal condition since the great depression of the 1930s.
Foreclosure fallout: Houses go for a $1
http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080813/METRO/808130360
DETROIT -- One dollar can get you a large soda at McDonald's, a used VHS movie at 7-Eleven or a house in Detroit. The fact that a home on the city's east side was listed for $1 recently shows how depressed the real estate market has become in one of America's poorest big cities. And it still took 19 days to find a buyer. The sale price of the home may be an anomaly, but illustrates both the depths of the foreclosure crisis in Detroit and the rapid scuttling of vacant homes in some of the city's impoverished neighborhoods.The home, at 8111 Traverse Street, a few blocks from Detroit City Airport, was the nicest house on the block when it sold for $65,000 in November 2006, said neighbor Carl Upshaw. But the home was foreclosed last summer, and it wasn't long until "the vultures closed in," Upshaw said. "The siding was the first to go. Then they took the fence. Then they broke in and took everything else." The company hired to manage the home and sell it, the Bearing Group, boarded up the home only to find the boards stolen and used to board up another abandoned home nearby. Scrappers tore out the copper plumbing, the furnace and the light fixtures, taking everything of value, including the kitchen sink. "It about doesn't make sense to put the family out," Upshaw said. "Once people are gone, you're gonna lose the house in this neighborhood." Tuesday, the home was wide open. Doors leading into the kitchen and the basement were missing, and the front windows had been smashed. Weeds grew chest-high, and charred remains marked a spot where the garage recently burned.Put on the market in January for $1,100, the house had no lookers other than the squatters who sometimes stayed there at night. Facing $4,000 in back taxes and a large unpaid water bill, the bank that owned the property lowered the price to $1. CLIP
Our Economic Malaise - The Fire This Time?

The Peak Oil Crisis: Masking the Peak (6 August 2008)
http://www.fcnp.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3385:the-peak-oil-crisis-masking-the-peak&catid=17:national-commentary&Itemid=79
As world oil production has never peaked before, there is no historical basis for making informed judgments as to what is going to happen. All we know is that some six billion people, living in some 200 economies on this earth are soon going to be confronted with getting by on less than the 86 million barrels of oil per day (b/d) that we currently consume. The outcome of the interaction among all those people, all those countries and all that oil is too complex to foresee with any clarity.It has long been recognized among those studying the peak oil phenomenon a severe, lengthy, worldwide economic setback could reduce the demand for oil to such an extent that peak production could be lost in the chaos.Other scenarios involve oil prices rising to such level that demand drops significantly, which would be followed by a major drop in prices, followed by increased demand and rising prices, and the cycle continues.In the last three weeks, world oil prices have dropped steadily so they are now nearly $30 a barrel below what they were in early July.Now this decline could be the result of those pesky speculating hedge funds selling short the oil futures contracts. It could be the $4 gasoline keeping an increasing number of Americans off the roads, or even the Olympics, which forced Beijing into a two-month shutdown of a sizable piece of its economic activity in an effort to clean up the air. (...) Falling demand for oil obviously is going to cut production so that a nominal "peak" in world oil output will occur. From there on, the situation has so many variables as to become unpredictable. Worldwide demand for oil could fall by hundreds of thousands or perhaps millions of barrels per day. Oil consumption, however, is so deeply rooted in the sinews of the world's economy, it is difficult to image demand dropping by many millions of barrels from the current 86 million b/d. But then again, nobody can realistically foresee what is going to happen.If worldwide economic problems should stretch out into years, then we would be in the midst of what most foresee will be the geologic/economic decline in world oil production. If demand has already dropped due to bad economic times, then the geologic peak is likely to go undetected. For in our rearview mirror, world production would have been dropping for months or years simply because fewer have enough money to pay for the stuff. The message is that there are many ways to perceive the coming years. Either the lack of enough oil due to geologic constraints will create unimaginable economic troubles, or economic troubles from some other cause can kill the demand for oil. A major blow-up in the Middle East, for example, could create so much turmoil that world oil production would peak on the spot, never again to return to current levels of production. It is getting very complicated out there, and none of us really know what is going to happen. The only thing we can be sure of is that somewhere along the line, changes in our lifestyles are coming - perhaps faster than we think.
The Venezuelan-Russian Alliance? Venezuela to buy Russian weapons (July 27, 2008)
http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=9678
In this epoch of globalization where authoritarianism has prospered, elitism has conquered, false flag operations have ascended, liberty has shriveled, war has prevailed, and true democracies have vanished [2], a handful of sovereign nations are trying to survive the whirlpool of the new world order by arming themselves and by making unholy alliances that will prolong their sovereignty and survival.Venezuela is one of these countries. Washington's intent to instrument regime change in Venezuela has failed and President Hugo Chavez has lately struck a deal with Moscow to sell oil in exchange for weapons. President Chavez has also threatened to switch oil transactions into euros, and has reasserted his total control over Petroleos de Venezuela with 74,918 employees and $101 billion a year in sales. [3]. Venezuela is also the world’s fourth largest oil exporter and the number three supplier of the United States. According to Jane’s Intelligence report, quoting a Russian political analyst, Venezuela could be purchasing weaponry from Russia worth USD5 billion over the next ten years. In addition, the report also added that Ruslan Pukhov, director of the Center for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies (CAST), has said: “Regardless of the situation on global arms markets, Venezuela under Hugo Chavez will continue to buy Russian weaponry and may spend USD5 billion or more over the next 10 years on imports of Russian military equipment.” “RIA Novosti also reported that during his official visit to Russia on July 23, Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez and the Russian leadership reaffirmed their mutual drive to strengthen bilateral defense cooperation.” [1]. Hugo Chavez could be writing his final chapter of defiance against the new global corporate aristocracy by making a deal with the Russian Military Industrial Complex. The neocons will undoubtedly connect Venezuela to terrorist networks, and the Anglo-American establishment will relentlessly continue their quest to dethrone him, fuel conflict and unrest in the region, and use every possible clandestine strategy to bring the corporate jackals back into Venezuela to exploit once again the wealth of that nation, and to impoverish the Venezuelan population.
Anthrax Mystery: Questions Raised over Whether Government Is Framing Dead Army Scientist for 2001 Attacks (August 04, 2008)
http://www.democracynow.org/2008/8/4/anthrax
The FBI’s prime suspect in the October 2001 anthrax letters case died last week in an apparent suicide. Bruce Ivins was an elite government scientist at the biodefense research lab in Fort Detrick, Maryland. He was among the nation’s top experts on the military use of anthrax. But many of his colleagues have expressed deep skepticism over the FBI’s claims. We speak to anthrax expert Dr. Meryl Nass and blogger Glenn Greenwald. [includes rush transcript] Guests: Glenn Greenwald, attorney and blogger at Salon.com. His recent posts include “Vital Unresolved Anthrax Questions and ABC News”, “Additional Key Facts Re: The Anthrax Investigation” and “Journalists, Their Lying Sources, and the Anthrax Investigation” Dr. Meryl Nass, expert on anthrax and editor of the blog AnthraxVaccine.blogspot.com AMY GOODMAN: The FBI’s prime suspect in the October 2001 anthrax letters case died last week in an apparent suicide. Bruce Ivins was an elite government scientist at the biodefense research lab at Fort Detrick, Maryland. He was among the nation’s top experts on the military use of anthrax. Ivins reportedly died soon after learning the Justice Department was about to file criminal charges against him for the 2001 anthrax attacks that killed five people and sickened seventeen others, crippling the national mail service. He had been part of a team that helped the government investigate the attacks and won the Pentagon’s highest civilian award in 2003. Many of his colleagues are convinced Ivins was innocent and claim he lacked the motive and the means to develop the fine powder used in the letter scare. They’re also skeptical of the FBI’s investigation, one of the largest in US history, given its false starts over the past seven years. The investigation initially focused on Steven Hatfill, the onetime colleague of Bruce Ivins. But this June, the Justice Department settled with Hatfill for $5.82 million. Whether Ivins was guilty or not, the case also raises key questions about how the anthrax scare was initially linked to Islamic terrorists and Iraq. In a piece for Salon.com, attorney and author Glenn Greenwald writes repeated claims by the mainstream media linking the attacks to Saddam Hussein helped shape American perceptions about Iraq in the lead-up to the invasion. Glenn Greenwald joins us now by telephone from Brazil. We’re also joined on the phone by Dr. Meryl Nass. She’s in Maine. She’s an expert on anthrax and knew Bruce Ivins. On her blog, anthraxvaccine.blogspot.com, she writes she believes Ivins was probably innocent. CLIP

Brasscheck TV: Before the War on Terror

Before the "War on Terror" the Bush family declared another war. Bush Sr. got the ball rolling on that one. Bush Sr. was Ronald Reagan's "Dick Cheney." He was the real president while the senile, but highly charismatic actor and lifelong associate of gangsters Ronald Reagan occupied the White House. It was called "The War on Drugs." And just like the "War on Terror," it was (and still is) a multi-billion dollar enterprise fighting shadows. Guess who brought cocaine into the US by the planeload during the 1980s?
Voting machine gets LinuxWorld tryout (August 2, 2008)
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/08/01/BUFD1224UC.DTL
Like many people, Alan Dechert was outraged when the 2000 presidential election was thrown to the Supreme Court because nobody could figure out how Florida's voters had voted. An engineer who has designed and tested software for a living, he thinks the outcomes of elections should never be in doubt. So Dechert and a couple of colleagues founded the Open Voting Consortium, a nonprofit group dedicated to delivering "trustable and open voting systems." In addition to lobbying against proprietary voting machines, they have spent the last several years working with scientists and engineers around the world to design and build a voting machine of their own. On Tuesday their machine will be put to the test at LinuxWorld in San Francisco, where the 10,000 people who are expected to attend the conference will get to vote in a mock presidential election pitting Barack Obama against John McCain. "The voting system in the U.S. is still not sufficiently accurate to determine the winner in a very close election," said Dechert, who has worked at Borland International and Intel developing and testing software. "By the time we're done (with the mock election), nobody will have any doubt." The code that runs this voting machine is based on the work of a former [U.C.] Berkeley student, Ka-Ping Yee, who now works at Google. At a price of about $400, the new voting machine is a tenth of the cost of proprietary machines ... because it's simply designed and based on free software. Its workings are transparent, he said, unlike some of the electronic voting machines that California decertified for security problems. Note: How could the U.S. government allow private companies to develop machines with secret codes the government can't access in the first place?

Travelers' Laptops May Be Detained At Border: No Suspicion Required (August 1, 2008)
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/08/01/AR2008080103030.html
Federal agents may take a traveler's laptop computer or other electronic device to an off-site location for an unspecified period of time without any suspicion of wrongdoing, as part of border search policies the Department of Homeland Security recently disclosed. Also, officials may share copies of the laptop's contents with other agencies and private entities for language translation, data decryption or other reasons, according to the policies, dated July 16 and issued by two DHS agencies, U.S. Customs and Border Protection and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. "The policies . . . are truly alarming," said Sen. Russell Feingold (D-Wis.), who is probing the government's border search practices. He said he intends to introduce legislation soon that would require reasonable suspicion for border searches, as well as prohibit profiling on race, religion or national origin. DHS officials said the newly disclosed policies ... apply to anyone entering the country, including U.S. citizens. Civil liberties and business travel groups have pressed the government to disclose its procedures as an increasing number of international travelers have reported that their laptops, cellphones and other digital devices had been taken -- for months, in at least one case -- and their contents examined. The policies cover "any device capable of storing information in digital or analog form," including hard drives, flash drives, cellphones, iPods, pagers, beepers, and video and audio tapes. They also cover "all papers and other written documentation," including books, pamphlets and "written materials commonly referred to as 'pocket trash' or 'pocket litter.' "

Cellphone use potentially risky for kids, teens: health agency (July 12, 2008)
http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2008/07/12/cellphones-kids.htm
Toronto's department of public health is advising teenagers and young children to limit their use of cellphones to avoid potential health risks.The advisory — believed to be the first of its kind in Canada — warns that because of possible side effects from radio frequencies, children under eight should only use a cellphone in emergencies and teenagers should limit calls to less than 10 minutes."Teach them the ways to use a cellphone responsibly — to make shorter calls, to use other modes of communication; if it's possible, use a landline," said Loren Vanderlinden, a health department supervisor and the report's author.In an interview with the Toronto Star, Vanderlinden said scientists were dismissive of any risk years ago. But with more studies, she said, a pattern is emerging that suggests people who have used their cellphones for a long period of time are at greater risk of certain kinds of brain tumours. CLIP
Gardasil vaccine doubts grow (August 11, 2008)
http://www.latimes.com/features/health/la-he-gardasil11-2008aug11,0,2921629.story
Sandra Levy wants to do everything she can to safeguard the health of her 11-year-old daughter -- and that, of course, includes cancer prevention. She has had her child inoculated with one shot of Gardasil, the human papilloma virus vaccine that may prevent cervical cancer. But now, she says, she has serious reservations about going ahead with the next two injections of the course. Though most medical organizations strongly advocate using the HPV vaccine, some doctors and parents, like Levy, are asking whether the vaccine's benefits really outweigh its costs. A report released in June stirred up more doubts. Although cause and effect were not proved, the report listed serious events -- such as seizures, spontaneous abortions and even deaths -- among teens, preteens and young women who had earlier had Gardasil shots. [The] analysis, released June 30 by the Washington, D.C.-based public interest group Judicial Watch, [has] raised [these] red flags. Judicial Watch obtained records from the FDA's Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), a voluntary system used by doctors, patients and drug companies to report side effects with vaccines to the federal agency. The report revealed that since the vaccine's 2006 approval, when girls began getting it, nearly 9,000 had bad health events after receiving Gardasil. The incidents included 10 miscarriages, 78 severe outbreaks of genital warts and six cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome, an autoimmune disorder that can result in paralysis. There were also 18 reported deaths.

Prince Charles has been thrust into a fierce battle with the Government after warning that GM farming will deliver an 'environmental disaster'.He is furious at 'cynical' attempts by the biotech industry and ministers to push genetically modified crops as the solution to Third World hunger. Charles says the industrialisation of farming, which includes GM, is destroying the soil, polluting waterways and pushing out small producers. He accused agrochemical firms of conducting a 'gigantic experiment with nature and the whole of humanity which has gone seriously wrong'. A number of Labour MPs yesterday rubbished his concerns, suggesting he was 'Luddite'. However, his views echo those of at least one senior government scientist and a recent UN commission which warned against the further industrialisation of farming. The Prince said relying on gigantic corporations for the mass production of food would threaten supplies and the future of small farmers.'If they think this is the way to go we will end up with millions of small farmers all over the world being driven off their land into unsustainable,unmanageable, degraded and dysfunctional conurbations of unmentionable awfulness. I think it will be an absolute disaster.' What we should be talking about is food security not food production - that is what matters and that is what people will not understand. If they think it's somehow going to work because they are going to have one form of clever genetic engineering after another then count me out, because that will be guaranteed to cause the biggest disaster environmentally of all time.'

A new seven-year study of the Arctic's shrinking sea ice - which is headed for another above-average melt this summer - concludes that the polar cap is not only losing vast swathes of surface area but also experiencing a "drastic thinning" likely to reinforce the overall retreat.The study, headed by University of Alberta ice expert Christian Haas, found reductions of ice thickness in the central Arctic Ocean of up 50 per cent between 2001 and 2007, as well as widespread replacement of heavier, older ice near the North Pole with weaker first-year ice."The regime shift to younger and thinner ice could soon result in an ice-free North Pole during summer," says the study, to be published in the fall by the U.S. journal Geophysical Research Letter CLIP

106 mpg 'air car' creates buzz, questions (August 8, 2008)

(...) The technology has been the focus of MDI, a European company founded in 1991 by a French inventor and former race car engineer.New York-based Zero Pollution Motors is the first firm to obtain a license from MDI to produce the cars in the United States, pledging to deliver the first models in 2010 at a price tag of less than $18,000. The concept is similar to how a locomotive works, except compressed air -- not steam -- moves the engine's pistons, said Shiva Vencat, vice president of MDI and CEO of Zero Pollution Motors.Gas still plays a roleThe six-seater planned for the U.S. market would be able to reach speeds of more than 90 mph and have a range of more than 800 miles thanks to a dual energy engine, Vencat said. Watch what a prototype looks like and why the cars may take off in cities » The design calls for one or more tanks of compressed air under the car's floor, as well as a tank holding at least 8 gallons of fuel. Whether the engine uses just air or both air and fuel would depend on how fast the car is going. It would run purely on compressed air at speeds less than 35 mph, Vencat said. Since the car could only go a short distance when using just air, fuel is needed to get the full range, he explained."Above 35 mph, there is an external combustion system, which is basically a heater that uses a little bit of gasoline or biofuel or ethanol or vegetable oil that will heat the air," Vencat said."Heating the air increases its volume, and by increasing its volume, it increases [the car's] range. That's why with one gallon of gasoline or its equivalent we are able to make over 100 mpg." CLIP

What's more, Kamen estimates that the machines would cost between $1,000 and $2,000 which, given the number of people a single one is likely to help, is certainly quite the bargain.

PLANETARY MASS REARRANGEMENT
Dearest Hearts,
I pray you are well. This past month began my hiatus and deep inward journey as I prepare my body, mind and spirit for the heightened chapter in our lives that has already turned its first several pages.
I did not intend to write a newsletter while on hiatus this month though upon being awakened with purpose this morning I was strongly guided to do so. Please know that no response is necessary. If this resonates for you please pass it on as always with the World Puja website for further information, life-changing broadcasts from global shape-shifters, CD's, MP3's, personal sessions, and former articles that support what I am about to write.
The energy was strong that prompted this information, so I apologize in advance for its big push.
With that said my brothers and sisters, we are on shaky ground as fear continues to escalate and undermine our highest potentials, drags our consciousness through the mud and literally makes fools out of the Gods that we are.
As a species we cannot pull this kind of energy into play any more, not for any reason, for any season, for any story, for any thing or anybody. It is seriously obvious that there is infiltration on and off this Planet with a plan to incite fear wherever possible for personal gain. I am guided to reach out again and bring attention to the need to cultivate a fearless stewardship over your human form.
Many that live now and have lived previously have not worked so hard and for this long to simply let it be ok that fear is still running the show for far too many, and putting others at risk who are making great strides to cease and dismiss this malignant illusion once and for all. Fear is both a malignant and ignorant illusion induced by skewed perception of experience. It is humanity's biggest Achilles heel and it's got to be healed, or the end of suffering will never be had. Never.
I ask where is the sense in fear? There isn't any. Where is the knowledge in fear? There isn't any. (Please don't confuse discernment or intuition with fear.) Where is the strength in fear? There isn't any. Where is the life force in fear? There isn't any. What will fear do to uplift your consciousness? Nothing. What will fear do to end wars? Nothing. What will fear do to bring down the price of gas? Nothing. What does fear accomplish? It multiplies itself, spreads like cancer and puts us into slave mentality. Can fear be used to work against us? Yes. Will it be used to work against us? Yes and it already is! Where is God in fear? Nowhere.
NEVER MIND what's scaring the life out of you. Over mind what's scarring the life out of you or consciously mind what's scarring the life out of you and shift out of it before its malignancy destroys you and others. You owe it to yourself to know that you have what it takes to rise above the insidious groveling, demeaning and clawing nature of fear. Prove this to yourself once and for all.
Take anything inside of you or outside of you that you are afraid of before this day is over and take dominion OVER it by sheer will and pure love for yourself. Watch what happens. Love what happens. Don't forget what happens.
As a collective we are standing smack dab in the middle of a massive planetary overhaul and we've got a job to do that requires complete clarity and fearlessness in spite of the mess we appear to be in and the predictions of what will be. The conditions of the experience we are all going through have a purpose; to give us an experience unlike any other to breakdown mental and emotional and spiritual facades. To breakdown greed and dishonesty and attentions that have strayed in the wrong direction. Furthermore, to abolish human made laws of attraction for inappropriate "things" and to help us rise up as powerful aspects of God by giving us a new value system, teaching us how to be Self sufficient, amplifying the power of the heart, and the heart mind and give us a new lens of perception to see what is real and what is worth being alive in human form for.
Yes we are in a planetary mass rearrangement and that's why there must be both breakdown and breakthrough, which CAN NOT be done through fear. And if it can't be done through fear, and you know it, are you going to take that road anyway? Former experience has proven to all of us that the fear road has a dead end and has never resolved one single thing in our lives. Are you going to take a dead end road and let a bully named fear take you and the entire Planet down?
Are you going to pass up an opportunity, perhaps the last of its kind ever, to find out what you are truly capable of and then live from that place, or do you need a recycled experience to give it another go? Are we going to repeat history or make history? Are we going to live Heaven or Hell right here and right now on Planet Earth where both are up for grabs? Pick your side before you are pushed to the side you don't want to be on. Either side will have you reaping what you sow.
You owe it to yourself and all of humanity to demonstrate the power of fearlessness that lives and breathes inside of your skin and bones and to be in service to the mass consciousness on this Planet as a result of doing so. Your piece of mass consciousness is vital! You can lift it or deplete it with a fear based thought or a fearless one. Don't think for a moment that your piece of Light doesn't have enough power to cause a shift in this game, one way or another, because it does, and you are responsible to steward that Light properly.
You have the strength and the power to shift out of fear in mere moments if you come to understand the strategy of fear, and utilize your strategy to strip it down. You are further responsible for discerning whether it is truly you doing the thinking about anything based in fear, or if something is being impressed upon you to think in a perilous manner. This thought takes an open mind, void of Pollyanna mentality and is born of cultivating razor sharp consciousness. When you heighten yourself to that level of consciousness you will realize that you have the power to seal off the largest trap on this Planet, which is fear, and to ward off the "players" who use it purposefully.
If you consent, intend and equip yourself with the ways and means to go about the task of shutting that trap down forever, regardless of whatever comes up or comes down in your life, you will realize your inherent power... God that you are. Self respect and deep self-love will flood in and bless every corner of your life in ways and means that you may have never entertained as being both fulfilling and life giving.
If you consent, intend and equip yourself with the ways and means of abolishing fear, in an instant you can have a breakthrough moment granting you the consciousness to never consent to such obvious manipulation again. Fear is self induced or "otherwise" produced manipulation. For God's sake, for your sake, for humanities sake please stop whatever you are doing and consider the above. Your life is at stake.
Consider this. What if you were given an internal command that asked you to spend the next 30 days building a safe harbor for your consciousness to dwell and expand in that never allows fear to trespass? How would you build an internal place where fear has no point of entry? What would you need to build a "foolproof/fearproof" harbor? What knowledge would you need as building material? What would you need to know about radical faith, action and inaction and insurmountable love for Self to make this harbor impossible for any fear based thoughts to penetrate no matter what? No matter what! Whether you've heard the command and turned a deaf ear or pretended not to hear the internal command.... it has been issued, and is asking you to become a Divine Architect and build that harbor now. No distractions, no stories, no victim mentality, martyr mentality or mortal mentality. No excuses. When you build that harbor, you will be met with indescribable peace, regardless of anything tha
t goes on or off in this world.
If we don't come to understand and witness for ourselves, within ourselves what the Masters that came before us, (and some who walk among us) taught (and teach) about the simple, uncomplicated love over fear approach to living as Divine Beings of Love and Light we will not be moved up even a half level in consciousness no matter what knowledge you hold or teach about anything that entices the human mind to stray from Self Consciousness.
Consciousness, not knowledge is your energy imprint on the Earth. Consciousness enmeshed with fear profoundly impacts our energy imprint keeping us suppressed, depressed, and away from what we came here to do; transform mortal consciousness! Fear has got to go or we as a species are going to go down, again. Where fear is not, love is, or at the very least neutrality is, bringing us closer to stability.
We are truly at the final frontier of our former existence and undoubtedly it is scary as hell to stand at the threshold of your true Self. It changes everything, and I do mean everything. You are at the edge of the cliff of your life and here, right at the razors edge, do you learn to fly, so let go of everything fearful weighing you down. When you do, the first place you will fly is to the first step of your future life and you will feel the difference from what once was your path of progression to what now will be your path of progression.
Once you get there prepare to not know where you will fly to next, until you are led. Stand in the void and don't get scared. This is a good place to be, embrace it and don't get scared. If you do get scared, simply acknowledge it and don't touch it with another thought! This is Mastery.
What will lead you to the next step is radical trust. Not the lukewarm surrender sort of trust, not the sweaty palms trust, but the trust that makes the difference between who you were while steeped in your fate and who you are about to become steeped in your destiny. Destiny is not shaped by fear; fate on the other hand is sealed by fear.
Wake up every day and get close to your soul. Approach your day fearless about everything no matter what and be willing to be led by the Lantern of the Divine. You will be, so be quiet, and be patient. Develop a strategy for building your fearless harbor and start building. It seemed so easy for so many to heed the call to make vision boards. Let this strategy supercede the most sublime of vision boards. For you see, not everyone's destiny was meant to have everything they envisioned, for soulful and contractual reasons. On the other hand, everyone's destiny requires fearless living in order for it to come to be. You may wish to pause and take that in for a moment, it's important.
As you build your fearless harbor, undoubtedly you will find yourself renouncing existing plans, former ambitions, and mentally planned goals. So be it! Let it be. This is not about you breaking agreements. It is about you honoring the agreement to wake up and stay up, being true to your higher Self, and claiming dominion over your sovereign Self. Open to the Will of Heaven and be patient. When you are not open to the Will of Heaven, you are open to the will of everything and everyone else. I don't sense that's a good option, do you?
For the sake of your destiny and out of love for humanity and this Planet's transition please deeply consider the action necessary to be taken on your behalf. Take a breath, make a commitment to your God Self to let it live out loud fearlessly and make your mark in history as a fearless hero in a never before played out shift in consciousness.
Final words: let no fear, no one and no thing hold you hostage again. You are the Light. Now blast it out, so there is no mistake about it.

ALSO FROM MAUREEN MOSS
From: http://www.maureenmoss.com/home1.html
The following message comes directly from the illumined beings of Love and Light that are working diligently on our behalf to assist us in our ascension from Human Nature To Divine Nature and so that we may arrive with grace into the fifth dimension. Please take this message deeply into your hearts, as I have mine.
- Maureen Moss
Namaste Beloveds. We honor you as Creator Gods in the midst of experiencing the Great Fallen Illusion and the return of the Light. You are looked upon and loved dearly as some of the most respected and courageous of all of God's Creations throughout all of time. We remind you that by choice you descended to Planet Earth, the mainland of negation to live and serve as heroes in a transition stage. Your redemption is close at hand, though we tell you even we are ill-equipped to honor you sufficiently for what you have all agreed to.
We know the courage it took for you to descend willingly into the tides of separation, further compounded by grids of fear, force-fields of ego control and enemy patterning. We know the pain you have endured of diverted dreams and we know what each and every one of you has been subjected to by the unrelenting ego in the lower realms of consciousness.
We know the depth of love you hold for the Divine to agree to be bound for centuries by the effects of a fear-based mass consciousness and an inrush of unhappiness caused by an intensification of the outplaying of the lower human nature.
Yes Beloveds you are highly revered! You willingly stood in line waiting to descend and be covered by the veils of forgetfulness. You agreed to all of this to prove that in spite of living in reverse conditions of God Consciousness, you were capable of bringing a Planet and a species to Light and emerge triumphant with your love and your light blazing like the Great Central Sun—and with your Christ Minds in full control.
You, the modern day disciples of the Holiest of Holies are almost complete. You are surrounded by vast Legions of Light from Universes and Omniverses beyond even your deepest rememberings. We ask that you do not stop in spite of the intensification of the mutations of your physical bodies and in spite of your minds and egos attempt to amplify their illusory validity.
It is necessary that we bring a few critical points of Light to you as you come closer to your victory.
The first is that we have watched many of you switch your fascinations from the goings on and promises of the third dimension, to the goings on and promises of the fifth dimension. Though what is ahead for you is of great importance the actions required for you to take NOW is of greater importance in preparing to live less encumbered in the new world. Every shift in consciousness comes with it's own set of challenges. Don't exchange one trap for another. Stay fascinated only to the Divine Creator Gods that you are. Nourish and sustain connection to your Divine natures only and your Lightbodies.
We also notice that the human nature is still grasping for solutions and we understand the problem. In the moment you have feet, minds and responsibilities in more than one dimension as the merging continues to take place. Many of you are confused on how to live your life in a new order outside of time with a new focus on what is truly important to your Spirit, not your personality mind and ego.
Human negative emotions, primarily anger and despair, rise up in grasping…. whether for hope, solutions or for illumination. Cease grasping and you will cease suffering.
By now you must know that solutions come from a Source far above what the human mind can comprehend. Cease grasping. A wise soul is not thrown off balance because it cannot render solutions. A wise fifth dimensional soul of Divine Nature loves whatever is or appears to be from a state of assuredness that all is in Divine right order and must play itself out as this game of separation and mind and ego control comes to a close. Whatever is troubling you let it run out of your mind. Soon there will be nothing left but a quiet mind and a guided path. Rest assured.
We also ask that you stop running hither and yon for Truth. Truth seeks out every evolving being in all Universes past, present, future and simultaneous. It is the great I AM who holds the Lamp of truth to guide you ever forward through your eternal Ascension through the infinite ages.
Beloveds, you never have to seek Truth through another… for it will always be wherever you are and in every experience you have if you will turn a deaf ear to the mind and ego. Whatever your experience solitary or otherwise, quiet yourself, open yourself to receptive observation, breathe and expand the Divine Spark of Light that lives within your heart and ask this simple question "was that the Truth that just visited me?" You will always be met with an answer and balance will be restored.
And lastly we address fear, the great master-mind of the human undoing. Fear. The misappropriation of thought to experience both past and present, and the ill-conceived notion of what will be. Stop now is the hark from the company of heaven, the legions of Light that battle on your behalf for your illumination. We cannot continue to pierce your illusions of fear as the transition of human consciousness into the fifth dimension draws near. This battle rests upon you. Fear is a misapprehension of thought to experience and life and its purpose. Fear has become a ritual in the mortal mind of human, in regard to his/her future and harsh criticism of the past. Surrender it all immediately. It must cease or you will slip through the cracks between the world of illusion and the Kingdom of Heaven. Engage your Christ mind and stay only in the moments of the Now.
Cease pitting yourself against yourself. There is nothing wrong with you that a participatory shift in nature will not cure. You are stripping away your own dignity and the dignity of the great I AM which lives and breathes and has its expression of Life through you. You and the great I AM are one. I AM that I AM. No separation.
Understand this in the deepest recesses of your heart. You are a sacred tone flowing through the Universe. You are a dispensation of God's sacred ray. You are the Divine Plan frequency that is manifesting it's dominion on Earth. Rest in these truths and let all identities leave your mind, all is well.
Enter the fifth dimension with grace…we are waiting for you with deep gratitude.

Subject: Latest news from Malta and Solar Eclipse Meditation
Date: 12 Aug 2008
Hello Dear Jean,
I have attached the latest channeling by Janet. It is so positive and augurs well for the future.
The Aug 1st Solar Eclipse meditation went very well.
Many groups from around the world joined in for this wonderful occasion. In all about 49 countries were linked up with us during this very Sacred day. Some were small groups and some were as large as 5,000 people. This turnout was beyond all expectations!!! We all came together to celebrate Our World - working together towards peace, unity and co-existence to form a New Earth.
We were blessed to have Deborah Roessner Harrison, the American internationally acclaimed performer who so kindly interrupted her sailing trip in the Med to be with us for this event and regaled us with some lovingly chosen music for this special occasion.
This was followed by a talk by Janet Trevisan who then led everybody in meditation for the Solar Eclipse. This meditation was not just randomly decided upon, it was impressed upon Janet Trevisan by her higher guidance.
Janet has lived in Malta for many years during which she has taught meditation and many different spiritual practices. We are very blessed to have her here at this time of global transformation as a very special spiritual guide and teacher.
We would very much like to share the talk and meditation with all our dear friends from around the world. Please go into our website: http://www.theenvoy.org/ where you will find the
Bless you !
Warm Regards

Here is an excerpt:
Devatas: “What we would deal with this evening is the Nature of the Future events on your planet. Now this is an important time to discuss these happenings. There is upon your planet a lot of information being given out which is totally negative. On the other hand having said that, your scientists have their scientific facts and it looks bleaker and bleaker. You have your scenarios of your global warming, you have your scenarios of waters rising around your planet, you have your scenarios of an ice-age, you have your scenarios of disease and lack of food and many other negative happenings. Now, as you look upon these, you automatically feel in your heart-of-hearts disquiet. And yet, we will tell you, that although this is being placed before the masses, In Reality and In Truth – It Will Not Be – It Will Not Occur in the manner it is being given out. CLIP

Solar Eclipse Meditation - 1st August 2008
World Meditation for Peace, Co-Existence and Harmony
led by Janet Trevisan
Time: CET 20.00 Hrs
Place: Malta - Europe
Let us Unite in global meditation, to help stabilize the immense power which is synonymous with the Solar Eclipse thus Awakening a peaceful co-existence and Spiritual Conscious Awareness.
The world is at the point of Transformation. Consciousness now is Opening to its greater potential. Mother Earth calls you to help balance the energetics of the planet at this time. Through the light of the Solar Eclipse, our aspiration resonates now with our Higher Being.
Although the eclipse will be visible over China, Mongolia and Russia, its effects will be manifested worldwide over a period of three days, bringing about great positive change and innovation, as its energies interface with all the sacred sites and ley-lines around the planet.
You are Created, through consciousness, and you are a projection of thought. THEREFORE WHAT YOU TERM, YOUR REALITY IS A THINKING PROCESS, TO A DEGREE. ALL THAT YOU WISH TO BECOME, OR TO ATTAIN OR TO DO, IS BROUGHT ABOUT THROUGH THE THINKING PROCESSES. But you do not realize that THE THINKING PROCESS IS A VIBRATIONAL FREQUENCY, ONE WHICH CAN BE VERY NEGATIVE OR VERY POSITIVE.
AND IT IS IMPORTANT, GLOBALLY SPEAKING NOW, THAT PEOPLE LIFT THEIR AWARENESS, LIFT THEIR MINDS AND HEARTS, AND GO INTO A HIGHER FREQUENCY, LEAVING BEHIND THAT PAST THAT WAS.
BUT IF YOU CAN HOLD A POSITIVE AND NOT A NEGATIVE VIBRATIONAL FREQUENCY, THEN IT WILL BE A BALANCING - AND A BALANCING WITHIN A HIGHER LEVEL.
NOW AS THIS OCCURS, SO THE THOUGHT CHANGES - AS THIS CHANGES, YOUR REALITY CHANGES. AND THE REALITY FOR HUMANITY AS WE HAVE SAID MANY TIMES BEFORE IN THE PAST, IS A GREAT FUTURE INDEED.
AND IT IS A FUTURE WHEREBY HUMANITY COMES INTO ITS TRUE SPIRITUALITY AND ADULTHOOD AS SUCH - MOVING OUTWARD CONSCIOUSLY SPEAKING, INTO UNION WITH MANY, MANY OTHER DEEPER LEVELS OF SPIRITUALITY.
YOU ARE SPIRIT AND AS YOU 'CO-COMBINE' WITH OTHER SPIRITS, SO YOU WILL START TO SEE THE EXPANSION OF YOUR AWARENESS OCCURRING.
AND IT IS OF GREAT IMPORTANCE THAT THE UNITIVE ATTITUDE AND THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE IS GIVEN OUT.

Atmos 11-August-2008
We tell you so much about the coming period, and particularly the preparations to be made in readiness for Ascension. It is such a grand occasion that will lift you out of duality, so that you no longer have to go through the experiences arising from it. We know so many of you tire of the continual conflicts whether they occur in your personal lives, or as a collective experience within your mass consciousness. The opportunity to ascend and leave the old ways of duality behind are too good to miss, and part of our service to you is ensure as many as possible are aware of it. Certainly we note that even those souls that are shrouded in darkness have a sense of occasion, and know that something unusual is taking place.
To say that things are not what they used to be is to put it mildly, as you are in the midst of fantastic changes that are beginning to manifest. The plan for these times was laid down eons of time ago, which is why you find many references to the end times in your ancient books. Man has subconsciously known what the future held, if not the precise manner in which it would take place. Now you are not just within the period of changes, but are participating in them and having a large influence on how they work out. Your conscious decisions and desires for what the future should hold are energies that bring with them their own fulfilment.
It can therefore be said that you are opening the pathway to Ascension. You have immense help from our levels and beyond, but it is always up to you whether you accept. Great energies are playing upon Earth, and the grids that carry them spread out far and wide so that no soul shall be outside of the Light. We hear many of you asking what is going on, as they see the old collapsing around them. For those who are fortunate to be aware of the plan for Man it is a welcome sign, as it means that the new ways are preparing to replace them. There cannot any longer be the two running side by side, and one has to relinquish its hold.
Your experiences in duality have repeatedly exposed the dark side of life, and have fulfilled their part in allowing you direct experience of them. Of necessity you have moved from the Light to the dark, and back again, but there is no need to permanently remain in the lower dimension. You have learnt all that is needed to equip yourselves to serve others, in a similar way as to how we have served you. You are not fallen souls inasmuch that you have transgressed against the Light, but you have allowed yourselves to be purposefully veiled from it. It has been an interesting experiment in which you willingly volunteered to experience separation from the Source. Having been cut off from your Higher Self for so long, it is only in comparatively recent times you have regained that connection.
When you realise that each and every one of you has shared your experiences, it may dawn upon you why being judgemental about another soul’s actions is simply a reflection of yours. You have been a model of Light and a beast of Hell in your different expressions, yet you stand today on the threshold of a great and wonderful experience called Ascension. Do not even concern yourselves about the fate of others, and know that every single one will return to the Light. Once you have lifted your vibrations, it must be said that you become more sensitive to what happens around you and desire to leave the darkness behind. However, you are sufficiently advanced and understanding to realise that you can simply be an observer, sending out your Love and Light to those who toil amongst the lower energies. They need your help as much, indeed if not more than others as they know not their true selves and have yet to find the Light within.
The end times create the opportunity for cleansing and clearing everything that no longer serves your highest ideals. Once you dedicate yourselves to the higher path, you will find that you can apply yourself to becoming peaceful and compassionate quite easily. Your mere desire to do so elevates your consciousness to the higher levels, and connects you ever closer to your Higher Self, your God Self. Listen and you will hear the voice that comes from within and it is full of wisdom and love for you. Your earthly personality may wish to ignore it, but you would be well advised to follow its promptings.
However, you would not wish to ignore your planned experiences, and in the course of them your Higher Self will try to alleviate the extent to which you may suffer. It is no good agreeing that you need a certain life plan to continue your evolution, and then set it aside because it brings you in touch with the lower energies. Learn from whatever crosses your path, because it will undoubtedly have a special message for you. You may not always be the central player in life’s dramas, but in every scene all of you have something to learn from it.
I refer to an incident that has just occurred in Georgia, and you may lay the blame on both sides for its creation. Yet I can tell you that the US has covertly helped bring it about to galvanise the West against Russia. It is an attempt to create another Cold War and isolate the Russians before they make more headway in Europe. They are now big players in the oil markets that are at the root of many problems in your world today, that also broker much power and dictate what happens in your financial markets.
Fortunately, the source of your energy supplies will completely alter in the very near future, and oil shall be left where it should remain in the body of the Earth. Your dependence on oil has long been a thorn in your sides, and left you at the mercy of those who control its supplies and manipulate the prices. Free energy involves little cost at all, and will replace your fossil fuels and thereby also ensure that after the cleansing of Earth, there will be no pollution as you now experience it. Clearly your Earth could not sustain the present levels of pollution, deforestation, and the resultant damage for much longer.
I am Atmos from Sirius, and we of the Galactic Federation see our opportunity to safely land on Earth not too far away. Changes will first take place that shall prepare you for such a wonderful event, and we excitedly look forward to it.
Thank You Atmos.

Subject: Shaking hands in Beijing
Dear friends,
As the Beijing Olympics begin, the world looks on with mixed emotions. It's a moment which should bring us closer together, and Chinese citizens deserve their excitement -- but the Chinese government still hasn't opened meaningful dialogue with the Dalai Lama, or changed its stance on Burma, Darfur and other pressing issues.
Even worse, extremists in China are promoting the view that Olympic activism like ours is anti-Chinese. We can't stay silent, but we also can't let our efforts be abused to divide people. So what can we do? The answer comes from the Dalai Lama himself, in an unambiguous gesture of Olympic spirit and friendship: a handshake.
It began in London, passed hand to hand by thousands of us -- now the handshake has gone online, and is criss-crossing the globe on its way to Beijing. All of us can join, Chinese and non-Chinese, and it comes with a promise: to hold ALL our governments accountable where they fall short, in Tibet, Iraq, Burma or beyond. We'll deliver our message in a bold media campaign in Hong Kong and around the world: Click below to see how the Olympic handshake started, sign up to join in, and watch it circle the globe --
http://www.avaaz.org/en/handshake
The worldwide outcry has produced a little progress, but much resistance from Chinese officials so far. If we are to see advances not setbacks after the Games, we need to show both that our voices will never fall silent, and that our challenge is a positive one.
We have one last chance to reclaim the spirit of the Olympics, with the message of friendship and dialogue we share with the Dalai Lama. The more people join the global handshake, the more powerful our message will be when it hits the Chinese and international media. So let's forward this email on, encouraging everyone to join in. "One World, One Dream" is an ideal that's bigger than the Olympics -- it's time for citizens around the world to take it back.
With hope and respect,
Paul, Ricken, Ben, Milena, Graziela, Iain, Pascal, Veronique and the whole Avaaz team
In a representative survey of us from all over the world, 92% of respondents recommended we pursue this handshake instead of the often-suggested boycott -- there's a strong consensus that this is the way to get our message across right now.

Spectators awed as Games begin (8 August 2008)
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7550283.stm
Thousands of years of Chinese history were at the centre of the show - Those who watched the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games from inside the stadium seemed unanimous in their praise. "It was fantastic. I was so moved," said 20-year-old Zhang Qiong, as she sat down at the end of the event to contemplate what she had just seen. It was hard to find someone who disagreed with her. After seven years of planning, billions of dollars in spending and some bad publicity, the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games are finally under way. Fireworks lit up the night sky at the end of a four-hour opening ceremony attended by performers, athletes, dignitaries and spectators. CLIP
What China wants from the Games (7 August 2008)
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7545593.stm
After winning the right to host this summer's Olympics, China was ecstatic. Officials promised the greatest Games ever held.But that kind of colourful language has been quietly dropped. China now says its top priority is simply to provide a safe Olympic Games.The change in tone comes after a year in which China's image has been dented over its links with Sudan, the torch relay and unrest in Tibet.China hoped to showcase all it had achieved over the past 30 years since opening up to the outside world, but outside criticism has changed all that.(...) Officially, China talks about the more noble aspects of the Games - promoting sport for all, spreading the Olympic spirit and creating a "green" legacy. But on the streets, ordinary people have a less complicated understanding of what the Olympics means for the country. "It will show that China is now powerful, not backward," said 35-year-old Beijing resident Li Xiaowen. Scaling backBut events this year changed the script, leaving the Chinese government - and the country's people - feeling hurt and misunderstood.The resignation of Hollywood film-maker Steven Spielberg as an artistic director to the Olympic Games in February was a foretaste of what was to come. Mr Spielberg resigned over what he saw as China's refusal to put pressure on the Sudanese government to resolve the humanitarian crisis in Darfur. Spielberg's move led a series of challenges for China's OlympicsChinese officials lashed out at all those linking the Olympics with Darfur, saying it was unfair to connect a far-off African region with the Olympics.The riots and demonstrations in Tibetan areas in March, and then the angry reception that greeted the torch relay in many international capitals, only strengthened this feeling.Chinese officials - and the country's people, after government prompting - turned on the Western media, whom they believed were distorting the truth about China.Xu Guoqi, whose book "Olympic Dreams: China and Sports, 1895-2008" has just been published, says China was genuinely surprised at how the world viewed the country.

Spectacular opening for Olympics (8 August 2008)
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7548539.stm
China has presented a dramatic display of fireworks, music and dancing to mark the opening of its Beijing Olympics. Some 10,000 performers took part in the ceremony, watched on TV by an estimated one billion people, before athletes paraded around the national stadium.Security was tight in the capital, and three US activists were arrested after holding a pro-Tibet protest. Larger rallies took place in Nepal and India. Analysts say it is the most politicised Games since the Cold War era.The build-up to the event was dogged by worries over pollution and criticism of China's rights record. Beijing has faced pressure to improve civil liberties - with US President George W Bush among several world leaders to express concern over a crackdown on dissidents. But after the controversy of the run-up, the opening ceremony certainly changed the focus of attention. (...) Pollution remains a key concern for the Games and on the morning of the opening ceremony, fog obscured the Beijing skyline. A BBC reading suggested air quality remained below World Health Organization (WHO) standards. But Guo Hu, director of the Beijing Meteorological Observatory, predicted that heavy rain over the weekend would clear the skies. And he warned that hazy conditions should not be confused with high levels of pollution. On Thursday, International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge said events that lasted more than an hour could be shifted or postponed if the pollution was bad. But he also praised China's "extraordinary" efforts to cut pollution ahead of the Games, saying there was no danger to athletes' health.

Subject: Zimbabwe: Urgent Action Needed
Dear friends,
Hopes are slipping away for a deal to resolve Zimbabwe's political crisis. Yesterday, Robert Mugabe announced plans to ignore the ongoing negotiations with the opposition MDC party, form a sham "Government of National Unity" with a breakaway opposition faction, and open parliament next week.
This weekend, when Southern Africa's 15 leaders, including Mugabe, meet at a major summit in Johannesburg, they will look out upon a sea of red. Thousands of Southern African trade unionists and other citizens will march to the summit waving red cards -- the football penalty symbol for expulsion -- and call for Mugabe to go. The organisers have appealed to Avaaz for international support, and will carry signs at the march representing the "red cards" sent by Avaaz members.
The region's powerful trade unions have threatened that unless Southern African leaders take action now, they will refuse to handle goods coming to or from Zimbabwe and will squeeze Mugabe out. A massive march this weekend backed by 100,000 supporters from around the world will be a overwhelming signal to Southern African leaders that they must act now before the crisis becomes even more desperate -- to announce that the Mbeki-led negotiations have failed, and to launch a new and fairer negotiating process immediately. Click below to send a red card, and pass this message along to friends and family!
http://www.avaaz.org/en/red_card_for_mugabe
Four and a half months have passed since the people of Zimbabwe voted for Morgan Tsvangirai and the Movement for Democratic Change on 29 March. Hyperinflation has exploded to an unimaginable 40,000,000%, and millions now face starvation. The EU, US, and UK have pledged a $1.9bn financial aid package to stabilise Zimbabwe's economy, feed the hungry and combat hyperinflation -- but only if Mugabe is removed.
Meanwhile, distribution of food aid by local and international humanitarian agencies has been prohibited by Mugabe's government. Torture camps remain in operation, political violence continues in some rural provinces, and 12 opposition MPs languish in jail on trumped-up charges. The Mbeki-led talks are collapsing, as Mugabe and his military high command insist on retaining control.
The people of Zimbabwe need strong allies willing to take bold action. Already, more than 300,000 Avaaz members -- including tens of thousands in Africa -- have signed petitions, donated funds, and written to their leaders in global campaigns for democracy and justice. After Avaaz flew a 280-square-metre banner over an Mbeki-chaired United Nations meeting, South Africa finally called for the release of elections results. In April, trade unions and civil society groups including Avaaz led a successful campaign to block a Chinese arms shipment to Zimbabwe. Now, as the crisis accelerates, our voices matter more than ever -- we can send an electronic wave of red cards to Johannesburg and bolster the efforts of on-the-ground advocates pressing for change.
Join the global outcry now, and then pass this message along!

Subject: Russian view of the New World Order or the West View?
Date: 13 Aug 2008
David Bakradze, chairman of the Georgian Parliament says, “What is going on now in Georgia is a test case. This is about the Russian view of the New World Order versus the West view of the New World Order. If Russia wins it will validate the Russian view of the New World Order."
NOW, FINALLY, we know why the US, Israel and Georgia attacked South Ossetia. It should now be clear to all Americans that the BushCo Zionist Oil-Soaked Criminal Cartel's view of the New World Order has been flatly rejected. Bush has accomplished nothing during his 8 years in office but mayhem and lies and mass murder.
As of Tuesday morning, Russia has attacked in the western part of Georgia along the Black Sea, apparently against new Georgian troop build-ups there. For all practical purposes, in response to being attacked by Georgia, US and Israel, Russia has cut Georgia in half and what remains under control by the "Saakashvili Regime” may be 'landlocked' by the end of Tuesday or Wednesday.
Russia just made it clear what it thinks of BushCo Pipeline Dreams and BushCo vision of the New World Order.
Of course, their co-conspirators over in DC are calling it 'a disproportionate response" and Deadeye Dick says "Russia's actions must be responded to."
I am not sure how many Americans know about the two wars Russia fought with Chechnya or even where Chechnya is located. Not many, that's certain. I have met too many Americans who can't even name the states that are adjacent to their own home states. And speaking to these multitudes of dumbed-down American cattle is the same endless stream of pancake make-up covered, hair-sprayed talking head 'internationally-recognized experts' on Iraq, Afghanistan and Iran - all of them spewing the same contrived DC bull like so much pungent, putrid McDonalds fast-food. Meals of fast food sound bites for the masses.
The Zionist US media is nothing but a mouthpiece, a bullhorn, for US Zionist policy and an extension of every lie DC can dream up.
Poor, dumb Americans...sitting around uncountable dens, offices and local coffee shop roundtables discussing nonsensical, ill-informed crap that was never true, isn't true now and never will be true. Many Americans can't even find on a map the nations they are such 'experts' on...and will never see the world as it really is.
Many Americans heard the "Al Qaeda rebels in Chechnya" and bought into the lies that the skirmishes were with Islamic "Al Qaeda" extremists. I, for one, will be glad when Americans figure out that Al Qaeda is the CIA, that is the bottom line, folks.
Those wars were before 9-11 but were part of US policy and CIA actions to pave the way for the takeover of the Caspian Basin. The Chechnya confrontation was the New World Order trying to impose itself on Russia for a pipeline right-of-way. Read on.
Well, let's try Geography 101 and see if anyone in America wakes up to the realities of the matter. With Georgia and Russia at war right now, let's see if a map will clue in those clueless Americans.
Note on the map, Chechnya is directly next door to Georgia, and the US and Israel just pushed Georgia into an attack on Russia. There is a war going on there RIGHT NOW to push Russia back...and it is NOT working. The blowback from Russia has been exactly what I expected...ferocious.
Even with all of this 'help' from the US and Israel, the Georgian military has been laid to waste. This is not Iraq 1991, this is 2008 and the New Russia is for real. They are a Superpower economically and militarily...but unlike the US they do not owe $1 to anyone. Like China, they are cash rich and much of Russia's wealth is due solely to Stupid George Bush, the weakened dollar, the soaring costs of oil and natural gas.

Osama bin Laden: A US invention

Remember Osama bin Laden? He's the evil mastermind who single-handedly inspired the war on terror while operating from a cave in a remote location in Afghanistan. Somehow he and his band managed to outwit the entire US Air Defense, built and maintained at a cost of hundreds of billions of dollars. Bush can't find him and in public statements doesn't seem to care whether he is found or not. Most people outside the US propaganda bubble find all his very strange. Message to my fellow Americans: The whole thing has been a scam from the start. No weapons on mass destruction in Iraq. No external force involved in 9/11 (except for many some help from Israeli operatives who I'm sure viewed the whole thing as a patriotic exercise.) Click here for Israelis gone wild

Putin Walks into a Trap
By Mike Whitney
13/08/08 "ICH" --- - The American-armed and trained Georgian army swarmed into South Ossetia last Thursday, killing an estimated 2,000 civilians, sending 40,000 South Ossetians fleeing over the Russian border, and destroying much of the capital, Tskhinvali. The attack was unprovoked and took place a full 24 hours before even ONE Russian soldier set foot in South Ossetia. Nevertheless, the vast majority of Americans still believe that the Russian army invaded Georgian territory first. The BBC, AP, NPR, the New York Times and the rest of the establishment media has consistently and deliberately misled its readers into believing that the violence in South Ossetia was initiated by the Kremlin. Let's be clear, it wasn't. In truth, there is NO dispute about the facts except among the people who rely the western press for their information. Despite its steady loss of credibility, the corporate media continues to operate as the propaganda-arm of the Pentagon.
Former Russian President Mikhail Gorbachev gave a good summary of events in an op-ed in Monday's Washington Post:
"For some time, relative calm was maintained in South Ossetia. The peacekeeping force composed of Russians, Georgians and Ossetians fulfilled its mission, and ordinary Ossetians and Georgians, who live close to each other, found at least some common ground....What happened on the night of Aug. 7 is beyond comprehension. The Georgian military attacked the South Ossetian capital of Tskhinvali with multiple rocket launchers designed to devastate large areas....Mounting a military assault against innocents was a reckless decision whose tragic consequences, for thousands of people of different nationalities, are now clear. The Georgian leadership could do this only with the perceived support and encouragement of a much more powerful force. Georgian armed forces were trained by hundreds of U.S. instructors, and its sophisticated military equipment was bought in a number of countries. This, coupled with the promise of NATO membership, emboldened Georgian leaders into thinking that they could get away with a "blitzkrieg" in South Ossetia...Russia had to respond. To accuse it of aggression against "small, defenseless Georgia" is not just hypocritical but shows a lack of humanity." ("A Path to Peace in the Caucasus", Mikhail Gorbachev, Washington Post)
The question for Americans is whether they trust Mikhail Gorbachev more than the corporate media?
Russia deployed its tanks and troops to South Ossetia to save the lives of civilians and to reestablish the peace. Period. It has no interest in annexing the former-Soviet country or in expanding its present borders. Now that the Georgian army has been routed, Russian president Medvedev and Prime Minister Putin have expressed a willingness to settle the dispute through normal diplomatic channels at the United Nations. Neither leader is under any illusions about Washington's involvement in the hostilities. They know that Georgian President Mikail Saakashvili is an American stooge who came to power in a CIA-backed coup, the so-called "Rose Revolution", and would never order a major military operation without explicit instructions from his White House puppet masters. Most likely, the orders to invade came directly from the office of the Vice President, Dick Cheney.
The Georgian army had no chance of winning a war with Russia or any intention of occupying the territory they captured. The real aim was to lure the Russian army into a trap. US planners hope to do what they did so skillfully in Afghanistan; lure their Russian prey into a long and bloody Chechnya-type fiasco that will pit their Russia troops against guerrilla forces armed and trained by US military and intelligence agencies. The war will be waged in the name of liberating Georgia from Russian imperialism and stopping Putin from achieving his alleged ambition to control critical western-owned pipelines around the Caspian Basin. Much of this "think tank" generated narrative has already appeared in the mainstream media or been articulated by American political elites. Meanwhile, the fighting in the Caucasus has diverted attention from the massive US naval armada that is presently sailing towards the Persian Gulf for the long-anticipated confrontation with Iran.
Operation Brimstone, the joint US, UK and French naval war games in the Atlantic Ocean preparing for a naval blockade of Iran, ended just last week. The war games were designed to simulate a naval blockade of Iran and the probable Iranian response.
According to Earl of Stirling on the Global Research web site:
"The war games included a US Navy supercarrier battle group, an US Navy expeditionary carrier battle group, a Royal Navy carrier battle group, a French nuclear hunter-killer submarine plus a large number of US Navy cruisers, destroyers and frigates playing the "enemy force. The lead American ship in these war games, the USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN71) and its Carrier Strike Group Two (CCSG-2) are now headed towards Iran along with the USS Ronald Reagen (CVN76) and its Carrier Strike Group Seven (CCSG-7) coming from Japan."
Stirling adds: "A strategic diversion has been created for Russia. The South Ossetia capital has been shelled and a large Georgian tank force has been heading towards the border....American Marines, a thousand of them, have recently been in Georgia training the Georgian military forces... Russia has stated that it will not sit by and allow the Georgians to attack South Ossetia...This could get bad, and remember it is just a strategic diversion. ..but one that could have horrific effects." ("Massive US Naval Armada Heads for Iran", Earl of Stirling, Global Research)
In June, former foreign policy adviser to President Jimmy Carter, Zbigniew Brzezinski, presented the basic storyline that would be used against Russia two full months before the Georgian invasion of South Ossetia. The article appeared on the Kavkazcenter web site. Brzezinski said the United States witnessed "cases of possible threats by Russia, directed at Georgia with the intention of taking control over the Baku-Ceyhan pipeline".
Brzezinski: "Russia actively tends to isolate the Central Asian region from direct access to world economy, especially to energy supplies..If Georgia government is destabilized, western access to Baku, Caspian Sea and further will be limited". http://www.kavkazcenter.com/eng/content/2008/06/13/9798
Nonsense. Neither Putin nor newly-elected president Dmitry Medvedev have any such intention. It is absurd to think that Russia, having extracted itself from two pointless wars in Chechnya and Afghanistan, and after years of grinding poverty and social unrest following the fall of the Soviet state, would choose to wage an energy war with the nuclear-armed US military. That would be complete madness. Brzezinski's speculation is part of broader narrative that's been crafted for the western media to pr
