Truth Seeking

Let's Pretend

2012-02-08T15:32:00.006Z

When I was a child, growing up in America, there was a nationwide radio program that I used to listen to sometimes called Let's Pretend. It was obviously very popular, or it wouldn't have made it to nationwide programming.* And now that I have grown up, my adult generation is still 'listening' to it; in many ways. And the younger generations - not knowing anything different, from the influence of their parents - are doing exactly the same thing.

Let's Pretend. Let's pretend that the Constitution doesn't say what it says, but what we want it to say. Let's say that we want it to say that we have 'a constitutional right' to - oh, say: privacy. There's a good one. Almost as good as motherhood and apple pie. Just kidding. On the 'motherhood' part. Because if we can persuade at least five members of the Supreme Court to believe in a constitutional 'right to privacy' (however we use sophistry to accomplish our purpose), we can get all of the States, in one fell swoop, to have to allow abortion. Because we Americans then have a constitutional right to privacy, and no State - let alone the federal government - can 'invade our bedrooms'. Or the local abortion 'clinic'.

I'll cut to the chase of my thought here. There is nothing in the Constitution that gives the federal government the right or power to rule on the issue of abortion (for example). That power came from a liberal interpretation of the Constitution - and an extremely liberal one at that. And anyone who accepts that - that, on the one hand, words mean (like Humpty Dumpty intoned from his lofty perch) 'what I say they mean', and on the other, in general, that the end justifies the means - is acting unethically.

But no wonder why so many American citizens seem not to care unduly about - oh, say, the illegality of the man who is currently occupying the office of the presidency of the United States, to do so. It is just one more illegal act, in a long train of such abuses - in a veritable sea of illegalities. A sea of fudge.

Who really cares about a little fudging? Everyone does it. On their income tax returns; and so forth and so on. Being a little 'economical with the truth'. All the way up, now, to the level of the Constitution. Which is getting into extremely dangerous territory. Because it represents an assault on the very rule of law in the country. And 'there lie dragons'. To say: there lie the likes of tyranny.

The American people should be saying a big NO to specific such examples of lawbreaking; let alone to that direction that the American Republic is heading in.

Make no mistake: the Wars on Drugs and Terror, and in the Middle East, have been excuses to wage war actually on the American people and take away their civil liberties, guaranteed by their state and federal constitutions. In the name of 'security', Americans are succumbing to tyranny, step by lethal step. Into a police-state trap TPTB call their New World Order.

It must not stand.

There is a different New World Order to bring in, and inherit, now. One of the Light. Not of the Dark.

The one of the Dark has been a stepping stone, for humanity to see what can happen, if we lose sight of The Light; and wander further into the darkness, off our path.

We have the potential to go either way.

It's called free will.

Let's Pretend that we can take our consciousnesses in hand, and think for ourselves, and wake up to the illusion that we have been living in. And break free from it.

Let's pretend.

Powerful stuff, that.

* We had now way of knowing relative popularity, at the time. Advertisers did; because it was in their interests to. And then the public at large began being sold all kinds of things, in what amounted to popularity contests. And times changed.
There was the likes, say, of cigarettes. ('More doctors smoke Chesterfields than any other brand.') And fluoridation. ('Drinking water + fluoride = strong teeth.') And oh, a whole bunch of stuff. Including, like, wars. (The Tonkin Gulf Incident, say. 9/11, say - the latter "a new Pearl Harbor," in the 'prescient' words of the Neocons in their manifesto titled Project for a New American Century.)
Advertising. Powerful stuff.

Ben Gazzara Has Died

2012-02-06T15:35:00.008Z

Ben Gazzara has died.

I had the good fortune to see him on stage, in New York, before he became a 'celebrity', and so was not marred by the vicissitudes of that sort of life. He was, then, a pure force; not Ben Gazzara playing a part, but Ben what's-his-name being the part.

It was in a play called A Hatful of Rain, wherein he played the part of a junkie son and brother.

He was, in an all-encompassing word, good. Believable. Painfully so.

It was in late 1955 or sometime in 1956. I was living in Manhattan at the time - 'down and out'; living very frugally whilst I sought answers to my questions about the meaning of life in books in the New York Public Library. It was there that I discovered that we are all actors. On the stage of life. Simply playing parts.

The subject of reincarnation came up in the course of my investigations. I had heard of it; and vaguely knew that it was believed in in Eastern cultures, but to what extent and specifically in which cultures there (or, indeed, elsewhere), I was not all that sure. That was part of my doing, so to speak: my search. And, part of my undoing, from my carrying culture, of western civilization, and its various belief systems - religious, and economic. and political.

It was, to summarize, an eye-opening year in my life. And this subject, of reincarnation, was a primary key to that unfolding, in consciousness, into a greater reality. A greater sense of reality. A sense of the greater reality, that was carrying us in its bosom, like children of a Greater God than we, largely, seemed to be acknowledging at the time.

But that's just my projection on my culture of the time. All that I knew, then, was that something was missing, in our western culture, that was important to The Story. The Story of human experience, on planet Earth. And the Eastern religions seemed to me to have the key to that missing piece of the picture.

The picture, of What's It All About, Alfie; to quote a more recent source, of insight on the life experience, on stage, and in film. For us to reflect on.

My reflections led me to such sources of material on the subject of reincarnation (later on in my, and our, timeline) as Dr. Ian Stevenson's paper 'Twenty Cases Suggestive of Reincarnation', and, particularly importantly, Dr. Morris Netherton's book 'Past Lives Therapy', with its descriptions of how many people have been able to release psychic blocks in their lives this time around on the wheel of rebirth, from accessing, through a well-trained therapist, experiences in their past lives. So: there really was something to this matter, I was discovering. This 'belief'.

What am I getting at.

I am getting at the truth of things. And one of the most important of those 'things' is the realization, which I had already come to before My Year in Manhattan - which led me tothat period in my life; but which I needed to explore further, as a Far Country - that

the universe has Purpose; and that Purpose is Good.

And the way we unfold that Purpose is through the Plan of reincarnation.

Of playing parts in the drama that we call life. On the stage of life.

Now a prince; now a pauper. Now a male, now a female (or, depending on some interaction with our environment's storyline, something in between). Now of one race or religion or nationality, now another. For - as I say - a purpose.

For the purpose of growing from the experiences. Gaining awareness. Raising our consciousness. The latter aspect including learning to take responsibility for our actions - for, As we do unto others, so do we do unto ourselves. For not only is it true that We Are One Another, in the realm of The Play, but We Are All One, underneath that surface. Beneath the parts that we play, in this realm of duality.

Of - seeming - separation from our Source.

For a purpose.

And that purpose - I submit - includes the fact that it is now time, to acknowledge all this - all this play-acting business - in order, now, to 'go up a notch'. Unfold the Purpose a little further.

For when you realize 'what it's all about' - that it's all a play - why would you want to stay stuck in the role-playing? Why not decide to release that action - interesting, yes; but still play-acting - and take on more at least the role of the director?

Or the playwright himself??...

My play in life has led me to understand - really get - that that is all that it is. A matter of role-playing. And I don't want to play any roles anymore.

I want the real thing.

And we can get closer to the real thing, still on the stage of life (as we know it, currently), by now living our lives with that understanding. That they are, simply, roles. But with a higher consciousness, now.

That will allow us to progress further than we could have without that awareness.

Than we are doing at present.

With wars, and rumours of wars; and billions living in poverty...

Silly stuff.

We have more important business to be about.

The business, of incarnating more of who we are, really. So that we are living our lives more in harmony with the real thing.

And to say, with the awareness, that there is Plan in and Purpose to 'the universe'. To life. To the life experience. That it is part of a larger Whole.

And we are here, now, to do something about that truth; specifically, to help bring human consciousness up a notch, to a higher level. It could be called a higher dimension. it has been called a higher density. In comparison, with the present, wherein we are living in third density, and are on our way up, through fourth density, to fifth density level of consciousness; according to various sources.

All of that is speculation. But for myself - and I propose that this is true for each of us, to differing degrees - I know that I am here in order to help bring that raising of consciousness about. That it is part and parcel of why I am here, now.

My 'knowing' is based on the fact - you can call it a belief; but you would be doing so from a position outside of my skin - on the fact, then, that I know that I have not incarnated at this time accidentally. I will repeat: I know that it is no accident that I am 'Here Now'; that I have incarnated at this time. And further, I know - in my deepest gut, connecting me to my Higher Self - that I am not here to waste my time. I 'm here because it's time. Because I, and we, have work to do.

And that's not to get caught up further in the drama.

Ben Gazzara has died. He played a great part. And it's time, now, for him to move on.

And for us all.

'Close Enough is Good Enough' - Not

2012-02-01T17:07:00.008Z

I have this past week made a couple of comments on the thread of an article on the TNA (The New American) e-newsletter site, titled 'How to Cure Dyslexia', by Sam Blumenfeld. His was a good article on the subject; and it opens up a window on a larger terrain. But first - the thread. My first comment on it (which kicked off the thread):

Excellent article....
"...and work that you are doing, Sam. Although migod, how long is it going to take to rid us of this pestilential technique?

"I remember getting angry nearly 50 years ago now when I came across info about this look-say business, when my eldest nephew was starting school, and I discovered that he was being taught, eg, to 'read' the word 'monkey' by a pictograph of a monkey hanging off the tail of the 'y'. That's not reading. That's hieroglyphics. Why bother with the creation of the alphabet...

"In digging further into the matter, I found that it seemed to be a political thing, whereby the 'liberal' educational authorities wanted to control the bringing-up of the children, and get them to read only what the social engineers wanted them to read - to break the familial control over the children, so that they would become nice little puppets of the State. And here we are, with the same attitude of control going on A few buckets of tar and some feathers would be in order."

The next poster said:

"Outcome Based Education (OBE) may be responsible for uptick in dyslexia
"Researching education trends beginning in the 1980s, one will find that OBE implemented many non-proven learning theories. One of those theories was 'look-say' or better known as 'Whole Language'. Instead of integrating this method with the proven phonics method, most schools did away with phonics and dived head first into whole language. These are part of the many liberal, 'feel good' theories that give children great self-esteem while lowering current standards in Education.

"'Look-and-say,' 'whole-word,' 'sight-reading,' 'linguistic,' or 'psycholinguistic' refer to an approach to reading instruction taken by educators such as William S. Gray during the first third of the twentieth century. They wanted to turn schools away from 'heartless drudgery'. Gray advocated a look-and-say approach.

"'Phonics is concerned with teaching letter-sound relationships as they relate to learning to read...When a child has learned to associate all specific printed letters with specific speech sounds, the code has been mastered, or cracked.'

"'Learning To Read and Whole Language Ideology' by Jeffrey M. Jones, M.D., Ph.D.

"We've had an uptick in people with dyslexia, especially since Whole Language has been implemented. It would be interesting if there is any connection between this learning method and people have [sic] trouble reading words correctly."

I was tempted to respond to this posting by commenting (a) that Gray and others may have said that they "wanted to turn schools away from 'heartless drudgery'," but that was, more probably, merely their cover excuse for the implementing of their ideological bias; and (b) that there is, indeed, another factor to consider in this business, of the children not learning to read either well, or seeing the letters backwards (which I believe is the official definition of the term dyslexia; or that the letters 'dance around' on the page). And that is the very possible role of vaccines in all this MBD - Minimal Brain Damage/Disorder - business, But I didn't want to muddy up the matter, with a subject that it would take too long to get into, in all fairness to that subject.

In the event, another poster made an interesting observation; thus:

"FOREIGN LANGUAGES TOO
"Similar story for foreign language instruction! In the sixties, the 'drudgery' of learning the grammar and acquiring vocabulary by graded readings was replaced by simply learning phrases since, as we were told, that's the way a native learns his own language. What was forgotten was that the native is taking roughly five years to do it and is immersed in the language! So after a trial, classroom instruction returned to the hard, but effective, way. (I went through both processes in German.) Apparently, however, the establishment recently decided to try the memorization of phrases approach again."

That got me back on track in/to my anger, and outrage at the high-handedness involved in this matter; and I fired off the following addition to the thread:

"And by simply memorizing phrases...
"...that's all you can 'read'. Oh, you may vaguely recognize something from your shape-memorized 'vocabulary' in another context, and try to apply it outside of your comfort box; but if you don't know what you are actually 'reading'...

"It is people control technique, plain and simple. Many children will tire of trying to read anything outside of their sequentially 'vocabulary'-increased readers (ie, 'word' recognition expanded a certain number of hieroglyphics-'stands for' (such-and-such a word) - per year), and will opt to learn everything they know - everything they think they know - from the boob tube. Which is more easily controlled, in its content, than books. Which is precisely the point of the exercise.

"The people controllers - the real ideologues amongst them in particular - want to start the public at a Year One, wiping the old from their minds as much as possible. That is to say, wiping out all we have learned, or hopefully have learned, from our history. It is the belief of the materialists that the human mind is a tabula rasa, and can be manipulated at will - at the will of the State. Silly people. We are more than our bodies, and our body's mind, and emotions, and personality. We have a greater destiny than to be the cattle of our keepers.

"Another reason for this approach, to my way of thinking, is for the Establishment to inculcate the idea in its herd that 'it's close enough'. If the word 'horse' comes up [an example given by Sam in the article], and the child thinks and thinks about the shape of the word/letters, where (s)he has come across something similar to that before, and has a mental flash, and says 'pony?', and the teacher says in response, 'That's close enough; keep going', the child is/children are being conditioned into thinking 'that's close enough' about things in life in general, ie, that everything is relative. Which must be the salient reason why the Constitution of the United States is currently being trashed, by people who know precisely what they are doing, and by others who hear something about the original, legal definition of 'a Natural Born Citizen', and consider that the man currently occupying the office of the presidency of the U.S. may not fit the definition precisely - but hey, his mother was a citizen; so what's the big deal - and think and say: 'Oh, it's close enough. Don't be a silly bugger. Get a life.'

"And Mission Accomplished: a brainwashed citizenry, subject to the manipulation of experts in the field of 'public relations'. And what a euphemism that term is. (Edward Bernays, anyone??)" - that is to say, the subject, and history, of propaganda...

Before I delve further into this general theme, of an ideological tool, and take it a little deeper than its presenting subject: a good addition was made to this thread, by this contribution (which I have edited a little for clearer punctuation purposes):

"Whether by experience, research or intuition, many of us know what has been ging on in Education:
"At the behest of Horace Mann and many other leading citizens, we borrowed the style of Prussian schooling as our own. You need to know this because over the first 50 years of our school institution, Prussian purpose - which was to create a form of state socialism - gradually forced out traditional American purpose, which in most minds was to prepare the individual to be self-reliant.

"We got from the United States to Prussia and back because a small number of very passionate ideological leaders visited Prussia in the first half of the 19th century, and fell in love with the order, obedience and efficiency of its system and relentlessly proselytized for a translation of Prussian vision onto these shores.

"In this fashion, compulsion schooling, a bad idea that had been around at least since Plato's 'Republic', a bad idea that New England had tried to enforce in 1650 without any success, was finally rammed through the Massachusetts legislature in 1852.

"How did a Prussian system of dumbing children down take hold in American schools?

"In1896 the famous John Dewey, then at the University of Chicago, said that independent, self-reliant people were a counter-productive anachronism in the collective society of the future. In modern society, said Dewey, people would be defined by their associations - not by their own individual accomplishments.

"In such a world, people who read too well or too early are dangerous, because they become privately empowered; they know too much, and know how to find out what they don't know by themselves, without consulting experts. Dewey said the great mistake of traditional pedagogy was to make reading and writing constitute the bulk of early schoolwork...He advocated that the phonics method of teaching reading be abandoned and replaced by the whole-word method...not because the latter was more efficient (he admitted that it was less efficient), but because independent thinkers were produced by hard books; thinkers who cannot be socialized very easily. By socialization, Dewey meant a program of social objectives administered by the best social thinkers in government.

"Bertrand Russell once observed that American schooling was among the most radical experiments in human history; that America was deliberately denying its children the tools of critical thinking.

"(These are just a few excerpts from this newsletter)
"by John Taylor Gatto
'THE KOSSOR EDUCATION NEWSLETTER Volume 4 Number 10"

Amen. And especially including the warning about 'listening to the experts'. That warning can be carried over into a number of subject areas; including medicine, and 'health'. And those two areas are not, shall we say, joined at the hip...

But to move on. And where am I going with this thought, and material.

This has been in part to clarify that I am not on the side of creating a 'dumbed-down', programmed citizenry, broken to the saddle of socialism. But there is something deeper going on here; implied by, implicated with the ideal, the desire of 'social engineers' to bring society into a state of unity. The 'socializing' impulse is, to say: not all bad.

Consider.

The welfare state in/of the UK is in a state of major crisis. As is the rest of Europe, and the world in general. But the point I want to make is how this country got into such a fiscal mess, that it has had to cut back so drastically: by pouring tax monies into the 'social justice' aspect of the welfare state. Creating two outcomes in particular: (1) the resentment of the average citizen, ie, taxpayer, about the 'scroungers' - those individuals seduced by the easy money climate of 'entitlements' into not pulling their weight, instead living off the work of others; and (2) the reaction of the very clever, and 'productive', in deciding to get what they can before they are taxed to death to support the growing welfare state - to the point of a huge gap developing between the 'average' wage earner and those at the top of the heap, with their bonuses, and conspicuous consumption lifestyles. It is not a healthy situation, or system. It's important that 'the system' cleans up its act; so that it can move on -somewhat paradoxically, by releasing the 'act'. That is to say, the money system. More specifically: the interest-bearing money system; which is precisely what is standing in the way of a society, a system, of 'enough for all'. An equitable system, way of being.

There is a world waiting to be born, which will reflect a higher level of human consciousness than we are expressing at the moment. It is a world without money - as we have known it. Embedded in the world of interest-bearing money - conditioned by it, for eons - some people think that is the only way that we humans can live. By the profit motive; that carrot, and that stick.

Nonsense. There is a higher motive for Man to live by. Which is coming into its own, now, because of the 'internal contradictions' of the capitalist system, which are creating such mayhem at this time. This key time in human history. When Crisis is providing us with the Opportunity to move up to that higher state of civilization, characterized by that higher motive for Man to live by. The highest motive that Man could possibly hope to relate to: to share out goods and services with one another - and give of our best in the process - out of gratitude to our Creator for life with meaning.

Out of, in a word: Love.

And in doing so - living by that motivating factor - Man will enter into an era of incomparable Abundance.

All, by releasing his desire for 'money'. By releasing money as an end, and returning it to its proper status, as a means. As simply a medium of exchange. Facilitating the distribution of goods and services still in some degree of scarcity, by a simple system of credits, for services rendered to the System. (Just like, on the micro level, a local LETS system has.)

Which 'leftists', socialists, have sensed, as a possibility; but never put it in its proper context, of a reflection of Homo sapiens' true, full nature. As 'spiritual beings having a human experience'. With a far greater reality to our life than just this narrow window, of a single experience of the material realm, would indicate. That far greater reality encompassing not just multiple lives, via the Plan of reincarnation. But multiple levels, dimensions of reality. And a Reality beyond what we know - think we know - as reality.

And the key to our entering into a higher state of civilization than any heretofore experienced on planet Earth is, in a word, Love. The love I indicated, that we feel for, and direct to, and engage in with, our Creator. But as well, to each other. As brothers and sisters of our common Source. And just so, entering into a relationship with each other that honours each other, by treating each other with respect, and honesty, and a quality of equality. Living with the concept that As we do unto others, so do we do unto ourselves - literally. For We Are One Another. And more deeply: We Are One. (And All IS One.)

And so we must all pull our weight, to pull this move up in consciousness off. Must share with one another, as though we were giving each other gifts. Must not, that is to say, carry over into the New any idea of being a scrounger; living off the gifts of others.

So: scroungers, in the current state of social affairs - who often learned to be scroungers because of the seductions offered by the system, in giving them the opportunity to scam it - need to learn habits of personal responsibility, before humanity can enter its new stage; its Golden Age. Because that's how that new, higher state of social development works.

In an essentially moneyless society (except, as I say, for those things that are not, by their nature, available in abundance; for which there will need to be a system of credits), there is plenty for all - as long as the people continue to demonstrate the level of personal responsibility that it takes for the system to be able to work.

And this is not such a stretch as some people might think. Already, there are harbingers of this spring in human affairs. One of the Occupy Movement 'thinkers', a fellow by the name of Charles Eisenstein, has already shared with audiences his sense, his understanding, that the way a system could work without money is by the attitude of sharing our 'gifts' with each other. That way lies community.

Our common unity. As individual sparks of divinity, exploring our free will as such; and now beginning the process of returning home to the home of our Father, in the terms of the story of the Prodigal Son.

Where he will be treated with the love of his dutiful Parents, who allowed him to go exploring on his own.

It doesn't matter what the specific nature of that Godhead is, beyond the duality in and of the Creation.

It's home.

And we get back there by recognizing our true, higher natures.

In a state of Unity.

Just what the 'socialists' amongst us sense, is the essence of our being. But who need to appreciate, and honour, the individual as well.

For we are individually responsible for ourselves, beyond the workings of the collective.

Both the individual and the collective have karma to clear. But the key is down on the individual level. And when that is cleared, the collective is free to progress.

And that is how the 'left' and the 'right', in current terms, are going to be able to come together, and progress into the New.

By recognizing themselves as brothers and sisters, on the same journey.

So let's go, OWSers and Tea Partiers: Get your acts together.

'Against' the 1%.

Who, you must recognize by now, are just playing their parts. In this drama we call Life.

'Written' by ourselves.

For a Purpose.

Which we are getting closer to, as we speak.

Suffer, the Little Children

2012-01-29T15:37:00.011Z

Having just read an article from last Sunday's (London) Times Magazine,* about children with`GID`- gender identify disorder - undergoing a newish drug therapy to delay their puberty before undergoing sex-change operations, I am pained. I am pained, not just for these children, and the turmoil and suffering that they, and their families, have to endure because of this 'condition'; but that it is taking society so long to wake up to the roots of this problem, and deal with the matter there, rather than running around trying to put out fires later in life. An ounce of prevention being worth far more than a pound of cure.

Years ago - it has to be over twenty years ago, now - I came across a book in paperback, recently published in that format (I think it came out in 1990), titled 'BrainSex', by Anne Moir, Ph.D (a doctorate in genetics) and David Jessel (an independent TV producer). It was mind-opening. Therein they documented the research that was proving that our brains are sexed at a very early foetal stage (around 8-10 weeks from conception, as I recall), their development affected by the hormonal bath. If all was well, the brain would be sexed according to the genetic sex of the foetus. If all was not well - well, that was how the wiring could go wrong, and a male brain could be wired into a female body and vice versa and every abnormal stage in between; thus accounting for transsexuals - ie, "children with GID".

I have tried over and over and over again, through the years since, to alert various people in positions of responsibility to this situation, and its roots in our dysfunctional society - ie, when "all (is) not well" - and therefore, our ability to change the scenario, by cleaning up our social act, instead of forcing these unfortunates to have to jump through chemical and surgical hoops.** Or just give up, and commit suicide. Or lash out in inchoate rage, at a world that has cheated them of their birthright. And various such adverse outcomes.

That some of these children are able to handle their situation is a testament to their bravery and steadfastness. Not to our mature handling of the situation.

An example of how I tried to alert a responsible body to this matter. This letter, to GIRES - the Gender Identity Research and Education Society - is dated 18 August 2008:

"Dear Sir or Madam,

"I read the article by Viv Groskop in the G2 section of the Guardian for 14 August, which is how I got your reference. And I have accessed your website, and read the comments under 'Gender Dysphoria' and 'Atypical Gender Development'. What I am concerned about is that there doesn't seem to be much attention being paid to the causes of these 'My body is wrong' [the title of the article] conditions, so that the conditions can be, hopefully, rectified, as much as possible.

"Under 'Gender Dysphoria' you refer to the role, among other causes, of "medication". But: Which medications? And when? And how much information is available both to pregnant women and their pediatricians to try to prevent the improper use of these medications?

"For example. In Anne Moir, PhD and David Jessel's book 'BrainSex', they refer to the role of 'medications, in particular barbiturates, prescribed to pregnant women, as a hormonal disrupter and thus cause of the brain being 'wired' differently than the genetic sex of the fetus. And then there's the potential role of oestrogen mimics/hormonal disrupters in the environment, as contaminants from such as pesticides and plastics. And so forth. My question: How serious is all this being taken?

"Gender Dysphoria indeed. What person would choose to be born with such dysphoria such unhappiness, such potential for suicidal thoughts?

"Moir and Jessel's book was published nearly 20 years ago, alerting the public to these matters. What has happened to help cut the incidence of these outrages, these assaults on the innocent? For example, have pediatricians been sufficiently alerted to the matter not to prescribe certain drugs to pregnant women especially at the (known) particular 'window'/time period of brain sexing? Have theses potentially suspect medications been properly studied and labeled? and so forth.

Not to belittle the very good work that you folks are doing in this area. but please let me know what the situation is as regards these particular aspects of this important matter. (Are we learning anything from it? Or are we just learning to live with it??)

"Yours sincerely, (etc.)

The response?

None.

Nor to this; as an example of a number of such letters of mine to various persons or bodies over the years on this subject. This one was to an e-newsletter site from the States, under a (condemning) article titled 'Schools to kids: You can be boys or girls or both'. My post was in response to one wherein the woman argued for the 'conservative' point of view on the issue of homosexuality. (My response dated 5 June 2011)

"'There is not and never has been a biological basis for this condition.'

"Er, no, Nan; not true. I encourage you, and others on this site, to get hold of a copy of the book 'BrainSex' by Anne Moir, Ph.D. and David Jessel. Their research of the scientific literature on the matter is compelling. Everybody who has been following this thread would do well to consider that the brain is 'sexed' at an early stage of foetal development, regardless of its genetic sex, by the hormonal bath it is subjected to; and this bath can be skewed, from various causes.

"These causes can range from an adrenal abnormality of either the mother-to-be or the foetus, to various plastics and pesticides in the environment (creating what are known as endocrine disrupters or estrogen mimics) to stress (there is evidence that there are more homosexuals born just after the stress of wars than at 'normal' times, eg; but stress can take many forms, including malnutrition), to drugs like barbiturates, prescribed to pregnant women without sufficient regard to their potential effects on the still-developing fetus. All of these causes can result in male brains being 'wired' into female bodies and vice versa and every spectrum stop in between, like that resulting in 'trannies'. Thus, neither 'classic' side in this debate is entirely correct; both camps would do well to look beyond their entrenched positions, and pay a little more attention to the physiological facts of the matter.

"Personally, my sympathies lie more with all the individuals who feel the need to go through sex change ops, or lash outwards in frustrated violence, or commit suicide, because their brains don't match their bodies. Not a healthy state of affairs. We need to pay as much attention to the causal aspects of the matter as the effects, such as the brouhaha over 'civil rights'. Let's consider the rights of babies to be born with as clear a brain as possible; clear of the adverses environmental effects that we have imposed on them, thus interfering with their full potential. Time's a'wasting, with all these other secondary matters taking our attention, distracting us from the real issue."

- the real issue being summarized in the truism: An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

It's time and past that we get truly serious about this matter. As with similar matters. Which is going to require of us to change our basic template of econo-social life; from one of letting the moneychangers run and rule the world, to aligning ourselves more directly with our essential selves. As 'spiritual beings having a human experience,' as the philosopher described Homo sapiens. Which experience needs, now, to be upgraded a notch. From neither capitalist nor socialist - nor humanist nor 'nocarist' in either of those process-level camps - to sons and daughters of the Most High; recognizing that we are, in truth - that is to say, in our essence - neither male nor female, but One.

But experiencing duality, for a reason.

And cleaning up our act on this material level is part of that reason.

In order that we can qualify for Ascension.

About to happen, on a planet near you. And you. And you...

P.S. These same two people put together another important book about children a few years later, titled 'A Mind to Crime', subtitled 'The Controversial Link Between the Mind and Criminal Behavior' (Michael Joseph, 1995; Signet ppb 1997), which reported on research into damaged brains that leads to 'mindless violence'; and how this damage can be spotted early on, to try to head off such 'mindless violence' later on in life for these unfortunate souls, and their victims (including their families). This same issue, of an ounce of prevention being worth a pound of cure, being brought up again, regarding our children.
They don't speculate abut what can be causing such brain damage; they just report on its results, and how it can be identified (by brain scan and symptoms). But it's the same issue: the mindlessness of the adult world to pay sufficient attention to what is going on with their children, and to deal with these various 'anomalies' in a higher-consciousness way.
This latter subject, of criminal behaviour, and the brain damage that causes much of it, having a link with the subject of vaccines. But that is a particularly sore subject, for me; and I don't want to go there, right now.
I am pained enough by this matter of what we seemingly glibly call GID - tossing it off as though it were just another interesting feature of life, and what's for dinner tonight, dear? - to last me for awhile.
A lifetime, actually. But a mind can take in only so much input at a time. And I'm full up to the point of visceral anger as it is.

Whither Now, America

2012-01-26T14:32:00.007Z

Today there is to be a court hearing - three in fact - in the state of Georgia on complaints from citizens of that State about the questioned eligibility of the sitting president of the United States to appear on the ballot in that State, on the charge that he is not legally qualified for the office - and was not from the beginning of his term in office (was not, in point of fact, to run for the office in the first place).

I wish them, and similar others in other States, well in their attempts to have justice served in this matter. For it has to be clear by now, to any American with an open mind, that the man occupying the office of the presidency of the country is a usurper. A usurper, with the blessings of both sides of the political aisle. For a main charge of culpability in this outrageous matter, of the purloining of the American presidency, has to land on the heads of the political opposition. The Republican Party bigwigs knew that the man currently occuping the office of the presidency* was not eligible for the office before he even ran for it. And there is evidence for that charge - solid, incontrovertible evidence - rather than just conjecture. Logically deduced conjecture, but conjecture nevertheless, without proof.

The proof is in the fact that the Republican Party was involved, along with the Democrat Party, in the years leading up to the 2008 elections, with attempts to amend the Constitution to allow a person to run for the presidency who did not fit a particular criterion for that particular office - for a particular reason: that of being a Natural Born Citizen; ie, a citizen born on the soil, or equivalent thereof, of citizen parents - plural.** The latter criterion included in the Constitution in order that the person did not run the risk of having dual national loyalties. There were at least eight attempts made, between around 2002 and 2008, as I recall the record of the starting point of this charade, to get such an amendment out of committee in both the House and the Senate, and by representatives of both main poilitical parties; and they all failed.

So what happened? Conjecture here: A decision was obviously made, at high levels of both political parties (which, if coming from high enough, is very probably the tip of a pyramid, and thus the same nest of vipers at the top of the political power structure in America), to simply ignore the constitutional restraints, and try to slip this ‘little’ matter of presidential eligibility by the American people; who, by then, were very conditioned by the Mainstream Media to believe whatever that nest of vipers wanted them to believe, told them was the truth of things. Thus the Republican Party was at least complicit in this crime against the American people; almost as guilty as the Democrat Party was and is - the latter for having legally signed off on the man’s eligibility, and thus signed off on their guilt by an act of commission, whereas the Republicans involved are guilty of an act of omission. Either way, they are criminals, and must be brought before a court of law - a true court of law. Not a bunch of characters acquiescing in the trashing of the rule of law in America. Which has to be the reason why the Republicans engaged in this crime as well: so that they, too, could benefit from the nation being cut free from its moorings in the rule of law - that is to say, from the Constitution - for their own purposes.

It is a scandal of major proportions. And must not stand. If government of the people, by the people, and for the people is to remain, and prevail, on Earth.

Without a true copy of the man’s birth certificate - which has been covered up by an obvious forgery, put on the Internet to deceive the public as to his true identity - he could be anybody. And his parents could be anybody. But all of that will come out, when the truth outs in this matter.
Because it will.

I, Lenin

2012-01-16T22:43:00.006Z

As the Occupy Movement on one side of a divide, and the Tea Party Movement on the other side of the divide - and socialists and capitalists in general on opposite sides of the current economic system divide; and religionists and atheists on opposite sides of their divide (which has relationships to the first one) - stand their ground, in opposition; and the world’s basic economic system begins to crumble, and threatens to throw the world into chaos, and a potential police-state reactive state of mind to that Crisis (the object, actually, of the current PTB):

Part of me thinks of myself as though I were Vladimir Ilyich Lenin. I helped create a revolution, against the oppressive, fat-cat capitalist and royal-lineage system in haughty place, for the proletariat - the real wealth creators, in my then-estimation - to have their day in the sun. It was a given that the oppressive class wouldn’t give way without a struggle; but, as I said to my cohorts and in my writings, “If you want an omelette, you have to crack eggs.” And millions of eggs were cracked, in large part because of my actions and leadership. I was not alone in responsibility for the carnage - those on the other side of the divide had to take responsibility for the development of the situation, too, that I was/we were acting in reaction to. But I was involved.

And then I die; and while millions of my fellow communists file by my empty shell, left on display in Kremlin Square for years of Earth time - apparently for them to pay their respects to me, for their little lives lived with a little more substance to them - I end up in heaven. Yes; heaven. And I marvel, at it, and the whole larger aspect of life.

I didn’t know...I thought this was all the opiate of the masses; used by the power structure class to keep themselves in place, and the hoi polloi in their place...

And I go into a meeting with the Lords of Karma. And they say to me, “Welcome to a session of ‘This is your life,’ Vladimir Ilyich. We’re going to show you the tape of your life. Edited, for selective highlights. And at the end, we’re going to ask you to tell us what you ‘see’ - what you understand, given what you know now.” And I - well; he; Vladimir, who is now no more but a memory - starts thinking, ‘Oh oh...’ And my Vladimir I. Lenin memory tape rolls. And I sink deeper, and deeper, into my self. As I begin to put it all together.

And the memory tape finishes, at that shell of ‘me’ on display just outside the walls of the Kremlin. And one of the Lords of Karma says, “So; what did you gain from that showing of that life?” And I tell them a number of things that I gained from that showing of my Vladimir life, in relation to this obviously larger whole, in the way of insights as to what the life portion is all about. And they nod. And one of them says “All right. Good. Now. Do you choose to go back into that virtual reality, and help set things right, that you helped to unsettle?”

And I find my self saying, “Yes. I so choose.”

And I come back; and at some stage in my new memory tape of a life, I begin to ‘get’ that things are wrong, and need setting right. And I begin to wonder how I can help do that.. And in that state of wonderment, I end up in a spiritual community, that is founded in part on the principle that Work is Love in Action - and I certainly buy that concept, because I had been working, if unconsciously, with that concept, in my recent, Lenin incarnation . But this time, I understand what had been missing before. Before, I had thrown out the baby of spirituality with the bathwater of religion, and denied that there was any larger reality than life itself, and so had nothing, no reason to offer people to live a ‘better’ life than merely for its own material-realm sake. And so had missed the point of the exercise. That there is a Plan in and Purpose to life beyond just in and for itself only. That we are all a part of a larger Whole.

And THAT is what we need to owe our allegiance to.

Not the all-powerful State; which, because it denies any larger meaning to the exercise, has to use power over people. Has to force them to toe the line. Because the State is all that is important. Not their little lives, rounded with, not a sleep, but annihilation.

And so I help create a moneyless society, all right - the ultimate vision of communism. By the concept of Service. In that earlier, preparatory case: by the concept of service to the all-powerful State, determining people’s lives to within an inch of their lives (and giving, and taking away, certain human rights at its whim). But now, with an understanding of what the whole exercise is all about.

And it is not about getting stuck in the classroom. Whereby, life is a school; and the purpose is to graduate. And you do that, by learning that behind everything - all the phenomena of existence - is Love.

The love of the Creator for iIs creation. And Its wish to share Its All with Its parts.

Its parts, that make UP the Whole.

Are not just the parts.

So that a little mantrum that is sometimes used in the human realm is literally true. The mantrum, the declaration, that

‘I am God. You are God. We are One.’

And We, now, have work to do.

Very important work.

Which is, to help move humanity - all of humanity - into a state of this understanding.

That we can reflect more of who we are really into the human realm, and dimension. Because

it’s time to.

To move up, into Graduate school.

It’s still school. But on a higher level than before.

So.

Join in. It’s for your, and Our, own good.

And P.S. Love those caught up in the Dark of unawareness. If only because they are You too. And so, As you do unto others, so do you do unto yourself. Literally.

Because

We Are All One.

And All IS One.

And that awareness, that recognition, is how the Occupy Movement and the Tea Party Movement can come together. In common cause. For a greater Good, than their current positions in seeming opposition would provide each on their own.

As for religionists and atheists...that ‘coming together’ may take a little more work.

But with the concept that Work is Love in Action, it could well take less time than would appear, on the surface of the divide. For once the Mind gets out of the way, and the Heart starts taking over - miracles can happen.

Seeming miracles, of course.

Because it’s all a great play.

Wherein nothing is real.

But Love.

The bottom line.

...How does this 'work', in practice?

It's really very simple. Instead of being motivated to do things - exchange goods and services with one another - through the (relatively primitive) profit motive, we share our abilities - manifesting as goods and services - with one another, and give of our best in the process, out of a higher motive. Out of the highest motive that we could ever hope to have, and be inspired by. We will create community on Planet Earth out of gratitude to our Creator for life with meaning. Out of, in a word: Love.

And there's your Golden Age.

Just waiting in the wings, to make its entrance, once we have played our parts to that point in the drama.

That is playing in a 'theatre' near you.

As we speak.

...But...but...

A concluding word here about the 'buts'. I hope everybody realizes that we do not have a supply problem in the world; we have a distribution problem. We have the technology to meet all of our needs efficiently. I repeat: our needs. Our wants are a different matter. We are limited in that provision by the planetary resources. The level of comfort will have to be met with some degree of the mentality of 'economy' still. But the day is done when there is such a discrepancy between the many who have nothing or very little, and the few who have so much that it is obscene in comparison to the standard of living of the vast majority - of Us.

So: A minimum standard of living for all. With people earning credits for service to the system, which they can spend as they wish. But no more of this business of 'debt'.

In our current era, the emphasis is on earning 'money'; doing things for the 'money'. Rather than the emphasis being on Service; on the principle and quality of Service. For the future on the planet, in its Golden Age that is imminent, is based ON Service. Not on 'money'. And especially not on interest-bearing money, which creates debt, and leaves people, and nations, in terrible debt, and in the state of stress that is inherent therein. That is not the way of the future. That is the way of the money lenders. And you don't REALLY want the moneychangers running the world, do you??

Thus, the New Age (yes, that expression, that butt of copious jokes, about navel gazers and crystal freaks and such. Guess what. It's real; and it's here, now upon us) comes about by our doing away with 'money' - with interest-bearing money; and substituting for it a steady-state system with credits, as individuals give Service to the system. And thereby will "all else be added unto" us. It is all, then, simply a matter of attitude. Of putting heart energy to work.

And thus the seeming paradox, of how we reach a state of abundance by the very act of releasing the chase for the almighty dollar: doing things not for the expectation of a personal return on our 'investment', but for the loving sake of doing them. And as we engage in that service to the Whole, we all benefit; because everybody else is doing the same thing. And out of the same motive. Because we are all One. And showing our gratitude to our Creator by acting thus. By showing - really showing - that we GET, that

We Are One.

One Incredible Family.

About to make its debut, on Planet Earth. On this living entity, that gives us a home, to work out our karma, and lessons, on. On Gaia.

Going up.

And P.P.S. I hope you realise that part of us ALL thinks of ourselves as though we were Vladimir Ilyich Lenin.
Because we were.
And are.
And those fat-cat capitalists. And. And......

J'Accuse

2012-01-07T16:15:00.007Z

In my last blog I referred to "the ringer at the helm of the American Republic". I want to elaborate on that a bit, to express very clearly the full extent of my anger at this matter - the matter of the usurpation of the office of the American presidency, and thus the rotting of the Republic from the head down.

The Mainstream Media in America (what blogger Ray McGovern calls the Fawning Corporate Media) has been complicit in a crime of major proportions. Well; more of those than one. But the biggest of the lot is the usurpation of the American presidency by (the man currently calling himself) Barack Hussein Obama,* and the higher echelons in particular of his political party.

I can't believe that the American people have been so cavalier about their Constitution. There is every reason to believe that the man in the office of the president at this (crucial) time is a usurper. Was not eligible to run for that particular office. And furthermore, members of Congress knew it, because they tried, for some years leading up to the 2008 elections, to mount a campaign in Congress for an amendment to the Constitution to allow him - or any other mere 'citizen' - to hold that particular federal office. But they failed in their attempts; which emphasizes all the more that that is not what the Constitution allows.

A candidate for that particular office must be a 'natural born citizen' - that is, in the definition of the term at the time (and to this day), born on the soil (jus solis), or the equivalent thereof (ie, on a military or diplomatic installation), of two U.S. citizen parents (jus sanguinis). The requirement having been put in place precisely so that the person holding that particular, sensitive office would not have the potential of conflicting loyalties, from dual citizenship - and especially not with England, with whom America had just fought, and won, a war of independence. Obama's purported** father was from Kenya, at the time a protectorate of England; and never applied to be a naturalized citizen of the U.S. Barack Hussein Obama - aka Barry Soetoro, after his mother's Indonesian-citizen husband - would have had citizenship ties either to the UK or to Indonesia, or to both, or to neither - we simply don't know. He won't authorize the release of his passport files for investigation. Or his school records, which could help in this investigation of his background. His true background.

This is all - on its surface - as clear as the nose on your face. Obama is not eligible to hold that office. He is holding it illegally, and thus deceitfully. What is wrong with the American people that they can't see that obvious fact. Or don't want to see it...

How did all of this happen? Primarily, it has to be said, and recognized, because the opposition party to the party in power is not a true opposition party. There is no real opposition, then, in American politics. Both mainstream political parties are controlled at the top of their structures by the same Masters of Deceit. And they got away with their heist, their hijacking of the country, because they control the MSM (mainstream media) as well.

It is, was, a coup. It was, and is, a scandal, and an affront to the Constitution - to the rule of law in America.

It has obviously been done for a purpose. And we can see the outlines of that purpose: to trash the Constitution, and thereby take over the country, and the American form of government; ultimately by creating an incident - the technique (well known in intelligence, and historian circles) called a 'false flag operation' - that then allows the president - one of their lackeys, their chosen candidate - to declare Martial Law, and begin the submission of the American republic into their vaunted New World Order.

I don't buy it. I won't buy it. And I hope that enough Americans - true Americans - won't buy it either.

Or there will be the Devil to pay.

All of this will come out in the wash, when the American Republic regains its true, spiritual course, and helps lead the way to a new era on Earth; a Golden Age for all humankind. There will need to be an accounting, whereby all the facts of the matter will come out. That could include a Truth Commission, for both whistleblowers and other accomplices to the crime to come clean, before a major trial, in a cleansed court of law. But come clean it will. All, the sordid story. Of what happens when The People go asleep. And let the wolves in among them, circulating in their midst.

* There is a curious name change in his background. Among a considerable number of other 'curiosities' about his background.

** another of the curiosities about his background. Since he has not supplied the American people with a true copy of his original, long form, vault-copy birth certificate - the document he has supplied has been declared a forgery by a number of experts, with detailed explanations of their case - we don't know who, precisely, his parents were.
There is some fairly credible speculation on the Internet that his true father was Malcolm X (which fact would not see him well in his adult life in America; so another, convenient black man was brought into the picture to 'cleanse' the boy of any potential difficulties later on in his life. Mere speculation also? Well, did you know that his mother and Obama 'Sr.' never lived together? Curiouser and curiouser... ); but all that is, indeed, mere speculation at this point. We simply don't know the truth abut this man, and his origins. And how weird is that; and especially in regards to the office of the presidency of the United States...

In this whole regard, see:

(2) 'Murder of the Constitution in Full Public View', Paul Craig Roberts, informationclearinghouse.info 6/1

How Long, O Man

2012-01-06T17:11:00.007Z

...is it going to take you to wake up?

There are two aspects to this query, from my perspective. One is an American factor, and the other involves humanity in general.

But first things first: the overall aspect. (For without the overall aspect, the rest - anything else - is irrelevant.)

In 1955, when I dropped out of university (where I had been a pre-med student, aiming to go on into medical school for a way to be of service in the world) to go searching for answers to life (because of a ‘spiritual experience’ I had that year, that woke me up to the larger picture of things), I came across material regarding what was, and is, called reincarnation: the idea that some component of ‘us’, what we call our soul, returns to life, after life, after life, working out what is called our karma - “the principle of retributive justice determining a person’s state of life and the state of his reincarnations as the effect of his past deeds,” according to the dictionary definition of the term; a factor that both Hinduism and Buddhism have incorporated into their cosmology. Christianity doesn’t have that take on things cosmological, because it is based on a belief that ‘Christ died for our sins’, and thus we - this present being; vehicle and soul - are eternal; ‘bathed in the blood of the Lamb.’ But that’s just a belief system; there is no proof of it.* Is there any proof, alternatively, of the concept of reincarnation?

Indeed there is. And was, at the time of my initial investigation into such matters. But it was, or seemed to me, at any rate - from my access to literature on the subject, in ‘the largest public library in the Western world’ (which I figured must be in New York City), where I went (all the way across the country from my home in California) to look for the answers I was seeking - merely anecdotal, at that point in time. So I continued to keep an open mind on the subject - of reincarnation specifically, and ’religion’ in general...and the evidence for the former has continued to mount, in the years since. Not gone away. Not diminished. But grown; in study after study (a good one: Dr. Ian Stevenson’s ‘Twenty Cases Suggestive of Reincarnation’), and article after article, and book after book.

Books like the one recounting stories of children who reported to their parent(s) experiences of a past life, that subsequently got confirmed, in personal investigations in current time. And then, with the advent of TV, various ‘true life’ stories recounted there. And in books like those of Dr. Arthur Guirdham, of the UK, who came across such stories from some of his patients, which he was subsequently able to confirm by checking the historical records...

We really need to wake up to the fact that reincarnation is real. And therefore, we are faced with a basic question: what does that tell us? It tells us that there is a Plan in ‘the universe’ - in the life experience. That there is a meaning to it. And it would behoove us to investigate what that meaning could be.

Part of the meaning, obviously, is that we are playing parts in a drama - for a purpose. For you can’t have a drama without a meaning. But could the meaning - the real meaning - of the drama be embedded in the fact of the drama itself, not just the stories that it throws up, over and over, for us to experience characters from various angles, and learn various lessons/gain insights therefrom??

If now I play a father, and in a past life on the stage of life I played a daughter, and it turns out that in the ongoing drama I am the father to you, and in that past life I was the daughter to you...and we keep changing roles...and races and religions and nationalities...sooner or later, one awakens to the understanding that

We Are One Another. Just playing roles in our individuated soul experiences. And therefore, actually - these incarnations being merely roles we are playing - the reality is that, underneath this realm of duality, of separation -

We Are One.

Are one with each other. And - ineluctably - One with the Creator. Yes, we are creations of - aspects of - the Creator. But we are One WITH the Creator. Like the part of the hologram is one with the Whole.

And life would seem, indeed - to the scientists of our day, it is turning out - to be very much like that: a hologram. A projection. A phantasm.

And so, what we call ‘life’ is not the true reality.

And so, we should not be getting bogged down in it, and hung up in it, as though it were the true reality.

The thing eternal. At least, seeming eternal; since there is a reality beyond the projection of time and space.

Whatever all its properties, the main point is that

‘life’ - as we know it, on this plane of awareness; of consciousness - is not the be-all and end-all of existence. And so we shouldn’t be treating it as though it were.

Christians, and other westerners, may argue that the concept of reincarnation sure didn’t do all those Hindus and Buddhists much good - look at their cultures, and standards of living. Not a lot to be envious of. Look at what a marvelous standard of living can be accomplished with a belief in the primacy of the individual...

I would say to that observation: Wait until you see what a marvelous standard of living can be accomplished when a critical mass of souls wake up to their true essence, and choose to make of life on Earth a Garden of Eden, in a Golden Age; more purely reflective of their understanding of what ‘it’ is all about - dropping the part-playing, and going for ‘the real thing’, out of the highest motive that this species, of Homo sapiens sapiens, could ever hope to have, and be energized by: out of gratitude to their Creator for life with meaning.

And it will come about, when we marry West and East. Or more precisely: the best of the West and the best of the East. And create on Earth a sense of Oneness; with each other, and with our Creator.

One Planet. One Humanity. One Destiny.

About to show at a theater near you.

And now, for the specific American aspect to this query.

Somewhere, somehow, the American people were tricked into believing things about their national constitution that are not true; and I’m unhappy with that. With the tricketers; but especially how they got away with it, with The People going asleep at the switch, from a federal form of government to a centralized one.

When I went searching for capital-t Truth, it included researching into what was going on in my country of origin. One of those matters had to do with the way the Constitution was being used. And I use the term ‘used’ purposely. A little history lesson here. All things in the American form of government are not controlled from the center; as liberals would have the public believe, and support; the easier to take over, than from a decentralized form of government. (For example: abortion.) Though not just the liberals got involved with this caper, this takeover of the American form of government. Right-wing forces bent on creating a fascistic New World Order are equally at fault as left-wingers, among the latter of whom are those bent on creating a socialistic New World Order, not just a ‘nicer’ government.

A pox on both their houses. It’s time for the American people to wake up to the ride they have been and are being taken on, by people given to totalitarian thinking. From either the Left or the Right, it’s still a totalitarian mentality; and we should have nothing to do with it. Not if we value essential liberty. Value freedom of the individual to live his or her life as free from governmental control as possible; as long as he or she doesn’t interfere with the rights of others to so live their lives.

I could go on in this vein, but let me move on to the crux of the matter. Which is the subversion of the Constitution, by people with an agenda.

A note at this point. Many years ago - well; it would have been 1976, I believe, since it was at the time of a key anniversary in American history, and so must have been the 200th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence - a curious article appeared in the paper. It was a short article, reporting on the conclusions of some body of scholarly types that had been assigned to look at the political picture in America, instigated, apparently, because of that major anniversary. And their report was that America could never be taken over, because of “the Constitution”. I found that a rather strange report. Why were they even looking at the matter??...but my personal research on such matters had already led me to understand that there were, indeed, people - forces - who had that very thought in mind; who would dearly love to take over the country, in order to merge it into a One World Government, under their fascistic (bankers, business & industry leaders) control. And it was true that the Constitution would prevent that from happening. Because it was a contract between the States and the federal government, which ceded to the federal government certain limited and delegated powers - “few and defined,” in the words of ‘the father of the Constitution’, James Madison. And this, wilth the addition of the specifically-named powers not ceded to the federal government, in the Bill of Rights, was the reason that the thirteen former colonies chose to go with the new compact (the Articles of Confederation proving not to be sufficient to the vision of many in the day). So it was to establish a federal form of government on critical purpose, that the States entered into the contract - one that would not be given such power in the contract as ever to be dangerous, and take on a power of its own.

Which is precisely what has happened. Even after all that caution on the part of the Founding Fathers. Who did their best...

The ‘Left’ has changed the contract by legalistic legerdemain; inserting liberal interpretations for ‘original intent’ (and demonizing all those who try to plead ‘strict construction’ as stuck in the eighteenth century; not accepting that time has moved on; etc etc). The ‘Right’ has used that ploy, to try to advance their causes, too; but the more devious among that tribe also saw another way to get the Constitution out of the way of their best-laid plans. Which the Left, under Obama, has seized on as well; whereby both sides of the political divide are now playing the same game. And that is to use the boogie-man of the War on Terror ultimately to create an incident (they’re called a ‘false flag op’) that allows the president to declare Martial Law, and take over the whole U.S. governmental apparatus, in one fell swoop.

Mission accomplished.

I would say to the less-understanding denizens of both these camps (ie, less understanding of the ultimate intentions of their manipulators): ‘Why are you continuing to pretend that you have laws? They’re not worth the paper they’re written on. The Constitution of the United States is just that. Not as in meaning ‘a constitution’. Not meaning ‘a contract between two parties,’ the States and the federal government. But as in merely paper. As George W. characterized it; though a little more colorfully than that.’

And so forth, in this vein. The short of it: America has been taken over, by people with an agenda. And whether that agenda is from the nominal ‘left’ or the nominal ’right’ of the political aisle, it has the same intended result:

totalitarianism.

And I will not have it.

My message to both camps: Not my country you won’t.

So, for a number of reasons: Wake up, folks. We have a world to win.

Before we lose it.

P.S. While on the subject of the hijacking of the U.S. Constitution, a word about another hijacking, in and of the U.S., that has taken place. I refer to the hijacking of the office of the president of the U.S. - a crime of major proportions.

There is very good reason to believe and indicate that the man currently occupying the office of the presidency, in cahoots with the hierarchy in particular of the Democratic Party, has usurped the office. And the hierarchy of the Republican Party, and the Mainstream Media in America, are complicit in this crime as well - which shows how powerful these people are, who are behind the scenes of this show-and-don’t tell. The American people have, in short, been had.

A message for them: Are you okay with this? And if so, why? Is it a way to spite the questionable election of George W. Bush - both times?? If they can do it, you can do it, too??? Do two wrongs make a right, in your moral universe????

The man is, on the face of things, not a Natural Born Citizen, according to the clear understanding of the definition of the term at the time that it was included in the Constitution. Which doesn’t even bring into the matter the questions regarding his original, vault-copy birth certificate, and the obvious forgery thereof that was presented to the American people, to - hopefully - get them to go back to sleep at the con game going on before their very eyes. The curious matter of his Social Security number, or numbers - the sort of scam that is used by people who want to create a false identity for someone. His passport - why won’t he let the American public see his passport file; what does he have to hide?? His sequestered school records, which could identify how he presented his citizenship...

These, and other questions about his background, must be dealt with, before we can proceed on our path into the new. The sunlit uplands of our New Age on this planet. Just waiting for us to inherit it. Once we have cleansed our karma sufficiently, to allow that to happen legitimately.

And that is not going to happen with a ringer at the helm of the American Republic.

* And plenty of proof to the contrary; as my search for Truth would expose me to. In short: the material that has been handed down to our day, in the form of what is called the New Testament, is not a true historical record. What we know as Christianity should more accurately be called Pauline Christianity. But that’s for another time, to look into in more detail. For now, just to say that it’s a shame that so many sincere people have been hoodwinked about the assumed bedrock beginnings of their belief system.
Would God do such a thing? That question shows a lack of regard for the life experience. We are here to search out the truth of things. If we blindly accept anything as ‘gospel’, we are missing the point of the exercise.
A good bit of advice that I came across early on in my search for the truth (of a lot of things): ‘Check your premises.’ Another such bit of advice; a bit more cynical, though no less valuable: ‘Of all sure things, the surest is to doubt.’
Blind faith is not a virtue. It is the sign, and characteristic, of an unquestioning mind. Man would never have gotten very far, in his experience of the life scene, and his search for the truth of things, if he had not had a questioning mind. Why is the sky blue, and the grass green; etc etc and etc. We are now on the cusp of a major breakthrough in our life experience, into a higher realm of experience, because of one trait: Man’s questing mind.
We got here.
It is a time for celebration. Not recriminations, about how we have been misled through the centuries, so often, and in so many ways, by people with a thirst for power.
As part of - a vital part of - our learning experience. For there must needs be opposition in all things, in order for free will to function; have its way with us. Help us grow, in spiritual stature. Not be kept stunted souls, but honorable cohorts of the Most High.

A Case of Cognitive Dissonance?

2012-01-03T21:37:00.008Z

'cognitive dissonance - n. Psychol, an uncomfortable mental state resulting from conflicting cognitions, usually resolved by changing some of the cognitions.'

I have been uncomfortable recently, alright; as I have expounded on in these here blogs, with what is going on in my home country. And it is getting piled higher and deeper. For example, this business of the current occupier of the office of the presidency of the U.S. being given the authorization, by Congress, not only to 'disappear' Enemies of the State, without charge or trial, including from the homeland - now a 'legally' defined battlefield (of the phony War on Terror, that set this whole scam up, of the hijacking of the American state by megalomaniacal criminals), and so the 'disappearing' of Posse Comitatus, which kept the military out of domestic affairs for well over a century; until now - but earlier, given the authorization by that same body of misfits to outright assassinate similar Enemies of the State - whoever they might be, since the Congress left that little matter up to the executive's discretion. (As Judge Napolitano - a good man; whom we need more of - said regarding this latter state of affairs: "If the president can kill whoever he wants, then he's not a president anymore; he's a king." Just so.) And he is a usurper in the office to boot; which I have also been commenting on during this recent time period, of the passage of this 'National Defense' legislation that is bringing fascism closer and closer to fruition in America. My America! You blankety blanks...anyway; my recent comments to that aspect of this story; as carried on the Obamaballotchallenge site:

Obama State Ballot Challenge - ‘New Hampshire Legislators To Hold Press Conference Tuesday 3/1’ 2/1

[another poster's comment first]
I want them to investigate if there was a Conspiracy to cover-up both Obama and McCain as Ineligible to be president by both Democrats and Republican elites because they found out that McCain was in question AFTER the Senate approved him and that kept Obama free from scrutiny because the democrats had this Questionable research on McCain and told him they would pitch it to the Public and wipe out the republican party if they said anything about Obama not being eligible.

This is how I think the Democrats were able to bribe the Republicans to stay shut up in 2008 and the last 2 1/2 years about Obama needing to prove eligibility to be Natural Born, its been a Bribe and a Cover-up from when this Law review was done in July of 2008 and If you remember McCain Lost his Power and force to challenge Obama about this time in the 2008 campaign.
This link is the 2008 claim of McCain’s ineligibility under Federal Constitutional law ;
http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract-id=1157621

This is why Obama is going to take up the Immigration Reform debate NOW and drive this all the way to 2012 because He needs Amnesty as Bad as the Illegals that will VOTE for him do !!!!

What I see going on is a Democratic party Defining this Natural Born Claim and they are doing under the guise of a 1608 ENGLAND COMMON Law instead of Constitutional law , through the CALVIN RULE , which basically says that you only need ONE parent a Citizen at the time of BIRTH to be Natural Born in this 1868 14th Amendment ruling ,

END the FED, 1 hour ago (2/1)

•
• This CNN article is just one person’s opinion. Mario Apuzzo, Esq,, who has researched this matter extensively, has another, more definitive perspective on the matter. The matter requires being dealt with in a court of law, to be taken ultimately to the highest court in the land. The judicial branch of government is stonewalling, and not allowing justice to be served.

• Justice denied is injustice. It is time for The People to act.

• All power to these State legislators in New Hampshire. They need to be joined by other such elected patriots in other states, for The People to take the country back from its usurpation.

• If the political parties have to declare to State Secretaries on the eligibility of their candidates to run for various offices, then those states have standing in the matter, if there is a question raised as to the accuracy and honesty of such declarations. That question has been raised in the matter of the eligibility of Barack H Obama, and the devious filings by Nancy Pelosi for her Party, which are part of the public record.

• The People need to move on this matter, with or without the judicial branch of government doing its duty. If it chooses to avoid its duty, after all avenues for a redress of this grievance are exhausted by The People, then it is their right, nay their duty, to act on their own recognizance. And tempus fugit.

• It’s the smoking gun: they all KNEW that BHO was ineligible. So they tried an end-around, hoping the public was too asleep to notice, and counting on their control of the MSM to make it stick. Have they gotten away with it??

• This is a crime of major proportions. It must not stand. Or the rule of law is completely finished in the country, and it will become the plaything of despots. Has become. Unless The People set things to right in the Republic. Unfortunately, the jury is not even out on that one – it doesn’t realize that it – ie, The People – has been called on to adjudicate on the matter. Thanks for sounding that wakeup call, George.

(1) The Article II Superpac.com site referred to above is indeed an excellent one, which not only outlines the case against Obama's eligibility well from the historical-legal angle, but - as I alluded to in my response - lists the eight attempts in recent years by persons on both sides of the political aisle to change the Constitution to allow him - or any Chosen One - to run for that office who would otherwise be ineligible, as he was, and is. And to add insult to injury, both Hillary and BHO himself co-sponsored one such attempt to change the law. (Which all failed miserably, corralling only a very few co-sponsors to each attempt.) So, as I said: They all knew.. And know, to this day, that they allowed a usurper into the highest office in the land. An office that deserves far better than these criminals are doing to it.

(2) My main point in all this: The rule of law is being trashed as we speak. 'The Constitution stands in the way of us accomplishing our purposes? Well, then, we'll just ignore it. Snicker snicker. And we'll get away with it because we control the MSM. Snicker snicker. And our tools in Congress; snicker snicker. Who know what's good for them; and what's not. Snicker snicker.' Wake up, Citizen: Arbitrary law is the law of tyrants, who declare - as did Hitler: "I am the law." And the Republicans are complicit in this crime against the American people. Nobody comes out of this audacious heist smelling any ways decent, except the likes of Judge Napolitano, and Ron Paul, who both are speaking truth to power - and are not afraid to. Because they have the truth on their side.

So: the monstrosity of what is going on in America at this time. And the cognitive dissonance aspect?? Also involving the NaturalNews site of Mike Adams, who today put up an article bringing a whole 'nother side to the things going on In Our Time. His article was titled 'NaturalNews Declares 2012 the Year of Consciousness', wherein he gave a magnificent exposition on the positive side of things possible at this very same time, to do with the raising of consciousness. My response:

"stan 3/1

A point: Once 'we' get to this consciousness-level state of mind, we also don't need to live within the profit motive system, and can do away with 'money' - with interest-bearing money. For the only motive that people will need to share goods and services with one another, and give of our best in the process, is the highest motive there is, or could ever be: to do so out of gratitude to our Creator for life with meaning. Out of, in a word: Love.

That 'meaning' implied by the fact - with plenty of evidence in for it now - of reincarnation; whereby 'we' are One Another - over and over; now a prince, now a pauper; now a male, now a female; now one race or religion or nationality, now another; experiencing momentary individuation, for the lessons to be learned thereby - but, looking more closely at that phenomenon, realizing that in actual fact We are One. Experiencing Itself. And so, with that realization comes a New Age; an age of - yes indeed - higher consciousness. An age wherein we can move beyond the limitations and distortions of the profit-motive system, and share more freely with one another. For we ARE 'one another'. Doing it to, and for, ourselves.

You're absolutely right, Mike. It's time. And 2012 is the key to unlock that door within, and between, our selves."

(And thus, my comment, to one of the key OWS ‘thinkers’ a while back, as a guiding 'motto': ‘As you do unto others, so do you do unto yourself.’)

How do I live with this dichotomy?

By recognizing it for what it is. Which includes the fact that it is

the dark before the dawn. When things are at their darkest.

So, hang in there, folks.

But don't just sit there.

Do something.

You'll be glad you did, about all this. And will regret it if you didn't. When you had the chance to be the change you would wish to see in the world. And opted to stay out of the process, because it looked, well, kind of muddy.

Which puts me in mind of a calendar drawing I saw many years ago: a full-page drawing of the Exodus, with the Israelites crossing the Red Sea, where the waters were being held back in the background in a huge wave, and the Pharoah's army was seen approaching in hot pursuit on horseback. Two of the Israelites, who have yet to cross, are in the foreground, looking on as their compatriots are crossing the seabed below them; with one of the guys looking over at his buddy, saying the caption: "Whaddaya mean, 'It's a bit muddy'?"

Yes, it's a bit muddy, folks. But nobody promised us a rose garden, or a stroll in the park, or a piece of cake.

If you thought this 'life' business was going to be easy, you have probably had that attitude bred out of you by now. So let's look clearly at what's needed. And get to work.

We have an Age to bring in.

And it's not another Dark Age.

Been there. Done that.

It's time for a change, all right.

A REAL Change.

One you can take to the bank.

And only so to speak...

More On the 'Disappearing' Of American Civil Liberties

2012-01-02T22:23:00.006Z

Mike Adams, M.D. of NaturalNews.com is a good man. He not only understands the way that the medical-pharmaceutical-government complex has taken over western medicine, and made of it a parody of the honorable profession still buried in there somewhere; but he has an awareness in general of the corruption that lies behind the current and recent American governments. The last couple of days he has been running a series of articles on the extremely dangerous NDAA - the National Defenses Authorization Act - that has now been signed into law by the usurper-in-chief currently occupying the office of the presidency of the U.S. On its innocuous surface it is just another spending authorization bill; in reality it has now made of the American homeland a battlefield - in the duplicitous War on Terror - on which the government, with its military, can act to 'disappear' enemies of the state; just like any tinpot dictatorship in the world. But I'm beginning to get ahead of myself. Below I append the comments I have made to these articles, and will comment further on them and this subject afterwards.

‘R.I.P. Bill of Rights - Mike Adams - 1/1/12 (Natural News)

Stan 2/1

Thanks for your awareness & clarity, Mike. Basically, because of the trumped-up War on Terror - the only way TPTB could destroy the Constitution, and the U.S. as it has been - we are all now in effect enemies of the state - ie, there is no longer a presumption of innocence - UNTIL we can prove our innocence, and we no longer have the right to access the judicial system to even have the opportunity to do that. Sweet.

Hopefully, its total corruption will be its downfall. Because now it is so obviously out in the open, even the most asleep American must be able to see what is going on. And we have to trust that America will right this heinous wrong. Or government of, by, and for the people may never have a chance to rear its head again, in opposition to the tyrants who wish to stamp liberty into the dust of history. Awake from your slumber, America. It's time.

‘Yes, the NDAA does apply to Americans, and here’s the text that says so’ - Mike Adams - 1/1/12 (Natural News, No. 2 article)

Stan 2/1

Chickens come home to roost...the policy act of 'extraordinary rendition' - triggered & gotten away with by public outrage at [over] the 9/11 atrocity, and the way it was played in the MSM - paved the way for this monstrous state of affairs, wherein the U.S. government can now 'disappear' its own citizens, without charge or trial, based on the mere say-so of members of the executive branch of government - now a confirmed despot; America now no better than any tinpot dictatorship in the world. This is a travesty; a betrayal of the American dream, of clearly limited power over the people.

It must not stand.

‘More Lies: Obama signs into law unconstitutional National Defense Authorization Act to arbitrarily detain American citizens after promising to veto it‘ - Jonathan Benson, staff writer 2/1 (Natural News, No. 3 article)

Stan 2/1

Bill, the signing statement is a farce. It is a cover. The salient point is that he signed the bill into law; that makes it law, for him and whoever succeeds him. Giving the executive carte blanche to make of the Constitution "just a damn piece of paper", in the illustrious words of his predecessor.

Now actually, his signing of it doesn't make it law, because considerable evidence points to the fact that he is a usurper - and should therefore be removed from office forthwith, and all bills that he has signed, and appointments made, rendered null and void; which would happen in the best of all possible worlds. Which I hope this one becomes, via the will of The People, reconnecting with the spirit of the founding of their country, to make it so. But that is slightly off the point of this article, and its thread. Though it highlights the fact that he is there courtesy of TPTB - or the Opposition would have blown the whistle on his ineligibility long ago. The fact that they didn't means that they (the higher echelons thereof, at least) are in on the takeover of the country as well. So whether it's a Democrat or a Republican in that office, it makes no difference: it has been co-opted. And THAT'S where the real action needs to take place: to boot out the current PTB from having control of the federal government. And that basically means the moneyed Elite; who want to install their vaunted New World Order, and make of The People mere serfs, thus brooking no opposition to their rule.

I've got news for them. But for now, in terms of this thread: the 'bottom line' is not the one that this usurper signed on, and appended a signing statement to. The 'bottom line' is the one for The People to now draw in the sand, and say, in no unequivocal terms: 'You've gone too far. Your time is up. It's over to Us, now.'

Remember? That 'We, the People' business??...it's time to play that card. Or the game is over, and the forces of darkness will have won the day.

I don't believe that will happen. But it's up to you. And you. And you. The People, Assembled, in common cause. The cause of taking back their country from the vipers, trying to control it, for their end. Their ignoble end. May it be their end, period; and may they slink back into the darkness from whence they came.

Which is in the consciousness of us all, realize. So treat them with love. The Love they are missing in their lives, which state of mind causes them to behave the way they do. Give them a reason to join you, in the dawn of a new day on planet Earth. Just not the one their lower selves planned for it.

Which is threatening to take us over as we speak. So the action that is called for, to be called forth from The People, is not in hypothetical elections next November. The action that is called for is being called for Now.

A couple of comments. (1) The comment immediately above was occasioned by a poster who said, in a negative reaction to the article: "It's obvious that none of you read the signing statement..." (No; it's obvious that he didn't read the article, which addressed the point quite clearly.)

(2) I realize that I may not have been clear enough in a comment I made towards the end of the same posting. I said: 'Which is in the consciousness of us all, realize." Meaning, in effect, that We Are One Another; are all part of the same One. I might have added: (or it wouldn't be Out There as well). But all of that could have taken up too much time, and required elaboration. Anyway, the point is that we have darkness within us as well - are not saints - and really have no business pointing too serious a finger at others.

(3) In the same posting, I didn't address the issue of how We the People can tackle TPTB; as part of the answer as to "the action that is called for". I have in mind - besides the removal of the usurper from the office, and the dissolving of the criminal Congress, and the calling for new, more enlightened elections - the beginning of the removal of the power of TPTB in the coming out from beneath the oppressive debt weight of interest-bearing money. Solving that Gordian Knot simply by sliding out the piece that 'the monstrously difficult knot' is wrapped around, and propelling the cart a different way, than via the carrot and stick of the profit motive.

But I've addressed that issue elsewhere. And also the fact that

it's time.

Jan. 1st, And All Is Not Well

2012-01-01T20:53:00.015Z

In perusing the various e-newsletters that I get, on this first day of this special year, and looking through the (London) Sunday Times for their take on the world scene, I am not a happy camper. The year seems to be starting off in an unsettling manner - to me, at any rate.

Most Americans still just don't seem to get it. Various Comments threads that I have tried to insert some awareness into appear to continue to be oblivious to the enormous moment in time that we are at - and the enormous Opportunity that is ours. Unfortunately, for both Good and Ill. First, some comments I have made on one thread in particular. This was to a surprisingly positive blog by a liberal about Ron Paul's candidacy for the Republican nomination. This liberal has closely observed what Obama has been doing, and is particularly distressed by the new so-called 'National Defense' Act just sent for BHO's signature; a bit of legerdemain legislation that is a foot in the door for U.S. citizens to be deprived of their constitutional rights to habeas corpus and a trial by a jury of their peers, all on the mere say-so of a member of the executive branch of government, now taking on the trappings of a dictatorship:

truthdig: ‘Marginalizing Ron Paul’ - Robert Scheer - 29/12

Comment #12345 by kibitzer on 12/29 at 8:09 am
Thank you for keeping a clear eye on the key issues, Robert.

The American federal government has been captured by powers who want to destroy the public’s civil liberties and return the world to a form of feudalism, run, of course, by them. They are doing it by having created the phony War on Terrorism, thus giving the federal executive dictatorial powers, and thereby collapsing the Constitution; making America ripe for takeover by tyrants. Ron Paul is the only candidate who sees through the smokescreen being blown into the public’s eyes. The key to the collapse of the scenario of TPTB is to eliminate the central bank control of the Federal Reserve on the American Republic - the sort of scenario that the Founding Fathers warned about, over and over. Both the non-totalitarian Left and the non-totalitarian Right can rally around this flag. They should do so, while there’s still time.

@mrfreeze:

”Ron Paul is too old to be president. 70+ year olds can barely drive…why put them into the highest office in the land?”

The mind boggles…and not just this 70+ year old mind. How old could you be, son? In your twenties? In your eyes, is everybody over fifty well on their way into senility, and everybody over seventy barely making a breathmark on a mirror held close to their mouths to determine if they’re still alive??

Get a life, son. I don’t need glasses to read or drive, both of which I do very capably. I’ll tell you another thing. If you don’t know what’s going on in the world, and has been for years, regarding the agenda to control the world of a very powerful cabal of people, then you are too wet behind the ears to be judging your elders with any kind of legitimate reason to be listened to.

So, as you can see, I can be “as nasty and cynical” as you can be as well, but with far more life experience behind it, to have good reason to BE that way. What’s your excuse??

Give me Ron Paul over the lot of them who don’t have a clue what’s going on in the world. Try one clue on for size, sonny. It’s called ‘blowback’. Look it up. And perhaps you, too, will get angry at how America has been used and abused for years - whose good name has been dragged into the mud, by masters of deceit, who need to be ejected from their seats of power. And fortunately, other young people are beginning to see that. It’s time for your homework, sonny. Perhaps there’s still hope for you yet.

@mrfreeze:

"All of those idiots are nothing but “regressives” who believe we’re still living in the 1950’s."

Ah yes, the old 'living in the 1950's' argument...

And as a good 'progressive', do you just lurv a big government, that can give you all kinds of goodies? With a flexible constitution - excuse me; a 'living constitution' that can make it happen?? And tell me, Mr. Progressive, where do you go, what do you do if that big government that you just lurv cuts against you? Like, takes away your right to your day in court, before a jury of your peers, because that 'other' Big Government that somehow got in power and spoiled everything, decided that you were an undesirable, under the defining terms of 'living legislation'??...

Ron Paul would return America to a constitutional republic, where that sort of thing - a behemoth of a central government - could not happen, under the checks-and-balances terms of its constitution; wherein, if you want your rule of law to change, you change the contract legally. Not by legalistic lergerdemain. Another word for which, you must understand, is tyranny.

Government of, by, and for the people - ie, essentially, self-government - is imperishable, except by its own hand. Too many Americans over the years have decided to Let George Do It. And boy, is he...

Robert Scheer recognizes this. That it's payback time, for having sold your souls to 'the Devil' - to the very wealthy, and very powerful, who have waited, and schemed, for just such a time as this. Ready to spring their trap. Because people like you are oh so progressive; and didn't grok the creature that you were spawning.

If you live by the sword, you will die by the sword.

It's time for a change.

Real change. And it won't come about by letting those who are in power today, stay in power. With the powers that they have schemed for, to put in the hands of the federal government of America, regardless of which political party was, is, in nominal 'power'.

Power, of course, being relative. And you would let it remain in the hands of THESE people??...what a sad, sad end to the experiment in self-government that America was in and for the world. Ah, well. That's life.

Tyrants: Front and Center! Your Day has arrived! The World awaits you!

...not by some.

So where do YOU stand, Citizen?? And how do YOU think this scenario can play out in any other way, if that's really not the kind of world you want to live in???

By kibitzer, December 29 at 5:02 pm
@mrfreeze:

“Unless you have some concrete ideas that will make all this stuff happen, I’m not holding my breath.”

Okay. Here’s my full shot. Which requires the citizenry to realize how dangerous the situation is now, with the NDAA giving the federal government the power to pick up anybody, alien or citizen (the latter category co-opted under a developing loose definition of ‘terrorism’, which can include anyone making “a belligerent act” towards the jackboots in power) and ‘disappear’
them, just like in any tinpot dictatorship in the world. This state of affairs is an abiding insult to the highest vision of America, and the importance of the quality of self-governance in human affairs - ie, not for the individual to be ruled by tyrants, in the form either of royalty or church or state, but to be responsible for his or her own actions. Because life has a higher meaning, than strictly in and for itself only.

Once The People realize what is going on (as to the plans of TPTB for total control OVER The People), and both ‘the Occupy Movement’ and ‘the Tea Party Movement’ really get that they have a fundamental common cause, against totalitarianism from either the Left or the Right (actually, it’s the same nest of vipers at the top of the present pyramid of power in the world), they should engage in a march on Washington OF The People, Assembled - with Oathkeepers among them, as having taken an oath to defend the Constitution, not the person temporarily in the position of the Commander in Chief - to demand of the present occupier of the office of the president of the U.S. either to release all of his bona fides, for inspection by experts (who have already studied the bc’s that he has released on line, and found them to be forgeries; and not very good ones at that) or vacate the office forthwith, as the usurper that there is every reason to believe that he is, from his sequestering of all of his records from scrutiny; with The People then selecting an Officer OF The People, who will dissolve Congress (for not having carried out their constitutional duty and responsibility in this sort of regard; and, indeed, for some of them having directly aided and abetted this crime against the American people, for which they will have to appear in a duly designated court of law) and call for elections within a time certain (say 90 days); this Officer also to clean out the Augean stables of the executive branch of the federal government, for a clean sweep of the executive branch as well as the legislative branch. The judicial branch to be ignored, as it has ignored many calls for justice to be served in this matter, of a purloined presidency.

The People need now to fully realize that THEY are the government, in this form of government; not their representatives; and need to accept, now, that there’s no specifically socialistic New World Ordure, or specifically fascistic New World Ordure, in our future, in polar opposites to one another, but that it’s really the same perps sitting up there in all their pomp and glory, ready to take over the world. And the key to their collapse is to do away with money. Specifically, interest-bearing money (and its partner, of fractional-reserve banking, to this rickety vehicle that is about to self-destruct anyway).

cont’d

Consider a basic fact of life. Either there is a ‘God’ - something more than Man - or there isn’t. If there isn’t, then nothing really matters anyway, and you might as well sit at home and watch tv. If there is, however - and there is plenty of evidence of that, in our day and enlightened age - then certain things follow. It follows, for one thing, that there is a Purpose to life, beyond just in and for itself only. And there you have the only motive you really need, to create a viable, and harmonious, society: each to give of their best, in sharing goods and services with one another, out of gratitude to their Creator for life
with meaning.

Nonsense? Never happen?? And YOUR answer to this situation we are deeply embedded in now is…???

Think big. You’ll be glad you did. And so will all of humanity. Who are our brothers and sisters, on this lovely old, beleaguered old, planet we call Earth. Just waiting for us to give it our best shot. Not our worst.

Which could happen. But in that, I’m a believer, in the best.

For good reason."

First of all, an apology to mrfreeze. I kind of lost it there, a bit, when he referred to anyone in the 70+ category as though we have considerably more than one foot in the grave, and really shouldn't be driving cars, let alone running for political office. My first response was to think: What the hell. And just what are you younguns doing about this tawdry state of affairs that you have allowed to develop under your sniffy noses. We should leave YOU in charge of things???...but it wasn't just him. I was getting no response from anybody else either. One poster did respond, by saying that my call 'to do away with money' should be likened to doing away with electricity and whatever else it was he cited. Man oh Manishevitz; how can people stop thinking so fast??...anyway, I tried a couple more times, before I let it go:

[5th Comment, 2-parter; 30/12]

@scott425:

"Let me close with a crazy idea. What if any future revolution in this nation will be based on the ideas of liberty, equality, and fraternity (eg the ideals of the French and American revolutions, not the Marxist one)? Maybe it’s time to start thinking about how to fashion a message of reform that a majority of Americans can get behind. Maybe the energy of the Paul campaign is part of the solution and not part of the problem."

Well said. Why support Ron Paul in this campaign?: Because he's the only candidate who's even half making any sense, given the circumstances. The circumstances of a need for major change, including taking away the power of those who are currently wielding it. For they are not wielding it in a high-consciousness way - rather, just its opposite. Empire is upon us. The People need to wake up, and fast. A major shift is called for.

The key to unlocking this conundrum - how to move them out of power, and The People of the planet out of harm's way - I already posited in this thread. It's to do away with money - with the money system as is, ie, debt-creating interest-bearing money and its companion in crime, fractional-reserve banking. This system has to go, for humanity to come together, as One. For it is true that we are at a globalized stage of human development. The dialectical historical process has brought us here (Hegel was spot-on in his analysis of this process). It's time now to go neither Left nor Right but Up, to a stage of Synthesis. I would say THE stage of Synthesis, but one doesn't have to believe in an End to History (as it has been wrote) to understand that we don't have a supply problem; we have a distribution problem. Meaning, we have a systems problem.

Many people are recognizing this. The Venus Project folks and the Zeitgeist Movement folks, eg, recognize this, and have put good thinking into a post-money society (operating on a resource-based economy). Their weakness happens to be that they are still thinking on materialistic lines, don't understand fully where we're at as a species. Which includes verging on free energy devices - thus putting an end to the Era of Oil - and the understanding that we are "spiritual beings having a human experience": that there is solid evidence, in our time, that there is 'something more than Man' at play in the scheme of things. And that is the flag that we can all rally 'round.

I refer to such evidences as all of the info in our time about the truth of reincarnation - that we come back, again and again, until we 'get it right', work out our karma - and the scientific awareness that we are part of a living Field, in which we, truthfully, are One; are part of one divine Whole. (See, eg, the recent book 'The Source Field Investigations' by David Wilcock.)

I bring up the 'spiritual' aspect of this matter because it is now time to acknowledge that aspect of the human drama, for what it is. Not one religion or another, that one can believe in or not. Not pie in the sky. But a very down-to-earth acknowledgment of where and when we're at, on planet Earth. We are at a Turning Point. What some have called The Great Turning. And we are not going to solve the great problems OF our time without recognition of that fundamental fact of life: that we have an important work to do. Before tyrants with their own vision of life take over, and teach us, very clearly, the truth that 'Without a vision, the people perish'.

So THIS is how we come together, Anarcissie; all "310 million different, highly variegated people" - and the rest of humanity. In a Golden Age. Sharing goods and services with one another, and giving of our best in the process, out of a higher motive than the profit motive. (You don't REALLY want the moneychangers running the world, do you??) Out of the highest motive there is, or could ever be: out of gratitude to our Creator for life with meaning.

To be acknowledged now, because it's time.

So, no: Ron Paul doesn't have the answers, alone. But he's on the right track (the importance of self-governance, not state power over our lives, making our decisions for us; and working with others as friends on this small planet, not
made-up enemies, for econo-political purposes). And none of the rest of them are.

Liberals, you're just going to have to face a basic fact of life: You threw the spiritual baby out with the bathwater of religion. Conservatives, you're just going to have to face a basic fact of your own: Liberals have a sense of the future just as good as, or even better than, your own: because they see and feel us all in this together, with a sense of community guiding our actions. Yes, the New Era will need individuals. But it will need them in a community context. Not 'each one for himself, and the devil take the hindmost'.

And it will all come about - including the end to wars - through one decision. To eliminate interest-bearing money. Which relatively primitive system has pitted us against one another for long enough.

Indeed: It's time for a change.

But REAL change.

Change we can all know, in our heart of hearts.

Worth feeling, and listening to, now."

I might as well have been whistling into the wind...

I think a large part of the problem, with a liberal readership, is that they by natural inclination LIKE a 'big government', to protect them from the majoritarian rednecks of the country (who might control the politics on the state level), and force those reactionaries to come kicking and screaming into the 21st century. I'd like to say to them:

"I trust you realize the dishonesty in what you are saying. You don't want the country's governing returning to the Constitution - ie, to the rule of law - because that might mean some states will legislate against, say, abortion, or whatever other pet cause you have.

"It is the same reason why so many on the left seem not to be bothered by the apparent illegality of Obama to hold that particular office: laws are merely guidelines, or for little people, or whatever rationale the 'enlightened' mind employs to ignore the clear wording and intent of the Constitution - which is something to get around, by hook or by crook.

"Well, learn a lesson well: If you do not live by the rule of law, you will be ruled by tyrants. It's a creature you should never have let out of its cage, or it will devour you, too, in the long run. And whatever made you think that the very powerful Elite of the planet would NOT run with that ball, once it became available, with liberal lawyers paving the way to that playing field?..."

And so forth. But that's all to get bogged down in 'politics as usual'. It's time to move the scenario forward. What we need to look at, very clearly now, is twofold.

(1) Obama is a usurper in that office. He is besmirching it. Not that others before him in that office haven't done that sort of thing as well. But his affront is unique: he is ineligible for the office, and he knows it (as per his vote on the McCain 'sense of the Senate' resolution regarding the eligibility issue), and so does his political party - after all, Pelosi and co. put him up for it knowing (as evidenced by their nominating-forms action) that he was not eligible - AND so did, and does, the nominal Opposition party in the U.S.*
And therein hangs a tale, of even more duplicity; which includes the Neocon control of U.S. foreign policy for far too long, including 9/11 - their (Project for a New American Century's) "new Pearl Harbor" that gave them (through their Muslim patsies) the political clout to increase the U.S. military spending, and through that proxy to try to take over hegemony in the Middle East; in particular for them to expand Israeli clout in the area, and, by trying to create a Pax Americana in the world, to take over control ultimately of the whole shebang. Using the American people like stupid sheep - taxpaying sheep; roped into the scam via the Federal Reserve's control of the country's money - to further their ends.** Which brings up

(2) The key to the unraveling of this Gordian knot, and its burgeoning Crisis, is - as I said in the above contributions to the debate; which particular point seemed to go nowhere, but is nevertheless still the key - to do away with money. That is to say, in further detail (as I did; but people see what they want to see, and move on): interest-bearing money. And its companion in (debt-creating) crime, fractional-reserve banking. (As I have also said in these Comments thread-offerings of mine: 'You don't really want the moneychangers running the world, do you??") An alternative system put in place somewhat like the LETS systems, with local currencies: a 'currency' whereby individuals can earn credits by giving Service to the system, which they can spend any way they wish to. And by eliminating money, and the profit motive, we do away with the energy for wars, and pharmaceutical products to keep people sick so the medical-pharmaceutical-complex industry can keep healthy, and the trashing of the environment in the holy name of 'growth', and so forth and so on.

These things are not inevitable. They are the outcome of the interest-bearing money system, and the profit motive; but they are not intrinsic to Man's nature.

We are about to find out what is TRULY intrinsic to Man's nature. To Man's higher nature.

So: Watch this space.

In the (relative) year 2012.

And the sooner, the better.

Which requires the removal of the usurper from the honorable office of the presidency of the United States. And the setting to rights of that country's spiritual mission in and for the world:

to show what a species of self-governing humanoids can REALLY get up to.

Get UP to...

Once they heed the message:

It's time you woke up, and realized you have been kept deliberately in the dark about a lot of things. And that's no way for you to run a government of, by, and for the people.

You have not been told the truth abut bin Laden; you have not been told the truth about 9/11; you have not been told the truth about the Oklahoma City bombing. You have not been told the truth about a lot of things.

But you have an inkling of all of these matters. So if you don't wake up:

it's your own bloody fault.

So get off your duff, and DO something about it, all.

Because

it's time.

Footnotes:

* As to this point, of a failure of the Republican Party to be a responsible opposition party, and so letting The People down, I said this in the thread to another of this liberal's blogs:

(after referencing the NDAA - this same bit of toxic legislation) "So: Shall we accept, now, that there's no specifically socialistic New World Ordure or specifically fascistic New World Ordure, in our future, in polar opposites to one another, but it's really the same nest of vipers at the top of the pyramid?? Obama gives off all the aura of a man co-opted. His heart may be on the Left; but he has been made an offer that he couldn't refuse. My bet is that it was the statement to him that TPTB know all about his background, and they are keeping schtum as long as he is a nice by, and does what he is told. Consider the perks of the office...an office that has been appallingly besmirched by all this totalitarian nonsense that has been going on, for too long now.

'It's time for Change indeed."

** Point of clarification: Most of these 'Neocons' are Jewish, but a particular type of Jew. This is the Zionist Jew, who is hungry for political power, not just a homeland for the Jews. And most of that kind are not Jewish by link to the former Holy Land OF the Jews (of all the tribes of Hebrews, not just the tribe of Judah), but have their origin in the former 'land'/area of Khazaria, in the Caucasus area, where the king converted to Judaism and took his people along with him. (See, eg, Arthur Koestler's 'The Thirteenth Tribe'.) Maybe they are of The Lost 10 Tribes of Israel, but there is no proof of that link, seem to have different racial roots. They are called Ashkenazi; and many of them have the mentality OF Nazis, and politically dominate the state of Israel. Thus, the state of Israel has engaged in such monstrous crimes as the attack on the USS Liberty, a U.S. intelligence vessel in international waters monitoring the situation in the so-called Six Day War in 1967; and allowed the 1983 attack on the U.S. Marine Barracks in Lebanon to proceed, for its political benefit; there was the so-called Lavon Affair before that, and 9/11 after that, where the Dancing Mossad Masters on top of their van monitoring the attack on the Twin Towers going on across the river, with their video cameras in place, and flicking their cigarette lighters in glee with the burning towers in the background of the shots, for the folks back home, gave that caper away, as another example of their end - hegemony over the Middle East (between the two rivers on their flag, of the Nile and the Euphrates) and ultimately over the world itself - justifying the means. The morality of tyrants down through the ages.
And American Christians continue to support this criminal government, because of a religious belief. Heaven help us, all.

(See, eg, Victor Ostrovsky's 'By Way of Deception' and 'The Other Side of Deception'. Also Edward Hendrie's '9/11- Enemies Foreign and Domestic'. Also Fox News's series on Israeli control of communications businesses in America, and the curious business about 'Israeli art students', shadowing the Arab patsies in the country, and also casing various U.S. government installations. All, the tip of the iceberg. Americans: Wake up from your (cultivated) stupor. You are being had. And so is the world, through you.)

Speaking of Love & the Universe...

2011-12-27T12:24:00.003Z

In my blog of yesterday I mentioned the energy inherent in the universe itself, "as our scientists are now discovering". I wanted to elaborate on this point a bit, especially in regards to a key feature of what "our scientists are now discovering" about the universe itself. Which is the role of Love in the whole She-Bang.

A brief note of background. Many years ago I had 'a spiritual experience' in which the message I got 'from the Universe' was that "the Universe has Purpose, and that Purpose is Good". So that's my message, about Life; but what objective evidence is there for that take on things? Why can't 'the universe' just as easily be, say, the creation of a malevolent Being, sucking on our emotional juices for its sustenance?? Besides the historical record, of emotionally beautiful moments for people when experiencing something transcendental in nature, the experience being far 'higher' than those of anger or jealousy or fear or hate, say - a subjective sense, then, of the former being of a higher, more 'soul-satisfying' quality than the latter - there is now hard, scientific evidence about Life, that, besides its having Purpose, that Purpose is 'Good'.

It is reported on in a new book out by David Wilcock, entitled 'The Source Field Investigations' (which itself was built on the investigative research of such other reporters as Lynne McTaggart in her book titled, simply, "The Field'*). In it he reports on, among other very interesting things, research on how our DNA stores light, and how that research has gone a couple of steps further than that basic fact of life. A quote:

"According to [Dr. Glen Rein, a biochemist], the key quality of [the] energy that can generate coherence in the brain waves and directly affect DNA is love: 'Although the techniques used by the different healers are quite varied, they all appear to require a heart focus.'

"The implications of this are tremendous. The Source Field [in which we live and move and have our being] appears to be responsible for creating the DNA Phantom, and storing light in the DNA molecule. It would appear that our thoughts change the DNA Phantom in Dr. Rein's experiments first, and only later do we see any changes in the physical DNA molecule [ie, there is evidence of an etheric body beyond the physical body]. Best of all, we now know that the most important emotional quality of the Source Field is love. Dr. Rein proved that love has a direct, measurable effect on DNA - very likely through the same energetic process that creates the DNA Phantom.

"Greater coherence, greater organization, greater structure and greater crystallization - all these effects show us that the energy fields, molecules and cells of our bodies are working in greater harmony and Unity. For the first time, this actually gives us a scientific definition of love. It is not strictly an abstract emotional and biological concept - like the chemicals fired off in the brain when we eat chocolate, or the genetic urge to reproduce. Love can now be seen as a basic principle of universal energy. The more coherence, the more structure, the more harmony we have, the more love there is..."

and so forth and so on, in that illuminating vein. And there you have it:

God is, indeed, Love.

* well, not simply. It is fittingly subtitled 'The Quest For The Secret Force Of The Universe'.

I don't want to be a party pooper, but...

2011-12-26T17:51:00.005Z

...haven't YOU had enough of the charade going on??

The Games People Play. I bought into one today, submitting a form email, with personal comment included, to my Congresspersons regarding some shenanigans that the federal Attorney General has been up to. It turns out that I had already responded to that request (by the Tea Party; one of many e-newsletter sources that I take, to keep abreast of activities in the U.S. and world scenes) on this subject; though I added some personal comments that I hadn't included the first time, in a more perfunctory response to that 'campaign'. They're an indication of my increasing irritation over these sorts of matters. Rather than let these 'signs of my times' go totally to waste, I'll copy that submission here, as an opener to this blog on the subject of the play that we're all involved in:

"When Eric Holder testified before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, he committed blatant perjury regarding his knowledge and involvement in "Fast and Furious."*

"It is bad enough that we have a tax-cheat running the IRS (Timothy Geithner). How can Americans trust the government when the people selected to lead major branches of the federal government can't even abide by the rules of their own departments?

"An independent special prosecutor must be appointed to investigate and prosecute this crime. As the nation's top law-enforcement officer, if he is convicted of perjury he should face the absolute maximum penalty. {And now my added comments]

"Crimes committed by federal employees are crimes committed against all The People, and corrode trust in the political process in general. Help restore some integrity to the system, by holding Attorney General Holder to the same level of justice and responsibility that he is supposed to hold others.

"As said of old: who guards the guards? In our form of government: You do, as the representatives of The People. Exercise your responsibility accordingly."

But this is all, still, just part of the game - The Game that we are playing, in & of what we call Life. Pretending to be the parts that we are playing. As I have said somewhere before (to the subject of reincarnation, and evidences thereof): Now a prince, now a pauper. Now a male, now a female. Now of one race or religion or nationality, now another. Now a killer, now a killed. In order to learn our lessons, in this classroom exercise. So that we can grow in knowledge, and wisdom; and then graduate.

The purpose of the exercise. In order to come back to Wholeness the wiser - more advanced - for the experience. The experience of a degree of separation from our Source; traveling in the wilderness of Free Will. To return consciously, and willingly, from whence we came; and know the place as for the first time, in the words of the poet.

But once we understand that it is all a 'game' - a classroom exercise - something new can enter the equation.

There can be something new under the sun.

There can be a Golden Age.

Wherein we can play parts, but consciously. Not only in order to speed up the process, of individual spiritual evolution; and of the unfolding of the Whole.

But to celebrate the process.

The Creation.

The Matrix.

The Hologram.

Whatever to call it: it is an example of the creative power of that which we are a Part.

Of, in a word: Us.

And so let's honour the Creation, by giving it our best shot. Our best use of our consciousness.

Not our worst. Any longer.

And that shift can come about when we realize, and recognize - fully, now - not only that

We Are One Another. But that

We Are One. And

All IS One.

That greater reality is just waiting for us to inhabit it.

Let's do it.

It's obviously a better reality than the one we have created, to this point in time. With our limited consciousnesses at work. Which have kept us from seeing the not-so obvious at first: that we have been wandering in the wilderness of Our making. Not to get lost in (as some aspects of Ourselves do; more's the pity), but to explore. And marvel at the wonder, capable of being performed, by those who continue diligently on their path of Light to their, and Our, Source.

And the characteristics of that Golden Age, that we are about to enter (because it's time)?

The key characteristic is, in a word: community.

Recognizing that We Are All One.

And so the era of competition is over (with the sense of separate selves being over. Having played their part; as it were). And with the sense of community - of our common unity - we enter into the post-money era, and world. Where our motive for doing things - giving of our best to one another, as to ourselves - evolves to the highest motive possible; to do so out of gratitude to our Creator for life with meaning. Out of, in a word: Love.

And when we do (not 'if'; not anymore), 'all else will be added unto us', out of the abundance of such a recognized universe; with energy available at the touch of a button, as it were. Energy that is inherent in the created universe itself. As our scientists are now discovering.

Which is another reason why

it's time.

Seize the day. It was made for this moment, in time.

When and where traveling outside of time is another matter. For us to explore. In our ongoing quest for the Holy Grail.

Which is

Wholeness.

Oneness.

Isness.

At which point, the play-acting is over; and it's time for the real thing.

It is

The Real Thing.

The Real Thing-in-Itself.

Whole within Itself; and with Itself.

The Goal.

At which point - with the play-acting - The Game is over.

And We have All Won.

* This is the name given a scam operation whereby the Obama administration tried to generate public opinion against the widespread availability of guns in America - which are a threat to any government that had ambitions of taking over the country; as part of an international plot to take over the whole world, and merge it into their dictatorial New World Order. (Whether nominally 'socialistic' or 'fascistic', the same characters are behind both streams of heady ambition. And I use the term 'characters' advisedly: in this play we are all involved in, and play different parts in at different times) - by secretly having middlemen buy weapons in the border states and selling them on to drug lords in Mexico, in order to increase mayhem on the border, as an excuse for a comprehensive crackdown on the availability of weapons in the U.S. itself; which are the major impediment to the best-laid plans for global takeover of the powers behind the political scene in the western world (and having made inroads to rope political powers in the East into their global plans; another plot thread to this play.) The plot got exposed, and the head of the federal Department of Justice is frantically trying to keep the whole scenario from coming apart at the 'seems'. Seems like we're close to seeing the whole play for what it is; microcosmically, and macrocosmically. The time being what it is...

American Media - A Shame

2011-12-24T16:49:00.010Z

...And You, Citizen??

This little rant was triggered by a blog on a site called Godfather Politics yesterday, by 'The Godfather' himself, titled 'Ron Paul Criticism Heats Up The Internet'. Background: U.S. presidential candidate Ron Paul was 'caught' on YouTube getting exasperated with the incessant questioning of a TV news channel journalist about something that appeared in a newsletter released by his political camp over 20 years ago. Yes, with his name on the newsletter. Never mind that he had answered that question a number of times previously. Never mind that it turns out that that so-called journalist has a conflict of interest, regarding her husband's business. She was determined to get something 'newsworthy' out of him in the confrontation. And she got it, when he had had enough, and started taking off his lapel mike. Shock, horror. Can't stand the heat. Not presidential material. 'He has something to hide.' Well, speaking of somebody who has something to hide...here's my little rant:

"AMERICAN MEDIA - A SHAME.
AND YOU, CITIZEN??

The American media is a strange beast. At a time when there is all manner of evidence that the man occupying the office of the presidency of the United States is a usurper - when the copies of both forms of his birth certificate released to the public have proven, in the eyes and detailed explanations of a number of experts, to be forgeries, and there is a prima facie case that he was not eligible to run for that particular office even on their face evidence - and when he has sequestered all of his bona fides from being able to be investigated for tell-tale signs of a cover-up as to his background - you folks are all atwitter about something that appeared in a newsletter over twenty years ago from the Ron Paul camp. There is a great biblical expression to cover something like this: how you are straining at a gnat and swallowing a camel.

American mainstream media, you are a hypocrite. The American public, you have been hoodwinked at best; and irresponsibly asleep at the switch at the worst. At the switch of your - and my - country, from a constitutional republic to an oligarchy. Shame on you. Were you not warned, by your Founding Fathers, about just such a possible event? That if you were going to be self-governing - were going to demonstrate that kind of government to the people of the planet, as superior to being governed either by a king or a church or other potential tyrant - you would need to stay awake? That you coud not ‘let George do it’; or he would all too possibly do just that??

I’m disappointed in you. In any event: I can’t let you get away with this disservice to the people of your world. They are your brothers and sisters; they deserve better from you, than for you to fail at the hurdle like this.

Pick yourself up, and join me in setting things right. Or forever hang your head in shame, at being called, and failing in your duty.

There’s still time. But barely."

This matter, of a usurper in the office of the presidency of the United States - let's put it in its total context: this matter, of what has all the appearances of being a usurper in the office of the presidency of the United States; which is an insult both to that honorable office and to the people OF the United States - needs to be cleared up, and now. It cannot wait for another year, to be dealt with at an election. Too much is at stake, that could happen in the meantime, parlous to the Republic.

I call on all Oathkeepers - including the Citizenry who consider themselves of the same allegiance - to go to their nation's capital, and surround the White House, and not leave until the current occupier of that office either makes a successful case for his eligibility for the office, in the release of all of his bona fides, and to their inspection by experts - and gives an explanation for why he has been so remiss in addressing this major constitutional issue - or vacates the office forthwith; with The People, Assembled, to appoint an Officer OF The People, who will dissolve Congress - for not having acted on this constitutional matter as was their constitutional duty and responsibility - and call for elections within a time certain (say 90 days); said Officer also to clean out the Augean stables of the executive branch of the federal government, and stand down all legislation signed into law, and appointments made, by the usurper. Said Officer should also call for and organize independent investigations into such constitutional subjects as 9/11 - for who ALL was involved in that crime against the country - and the suspected connivance of the federal government in the collapse of the country's currency and fiscal credibility, and begin proceedings to bring all persons suspected of crimes in these constitutional matters to a court of law; their passports being retained in the meantime, to keep them from fleeing justice.

And may Justice so be served.

In the Wake of the NDAA...

2011-12-20T18:11:00.010Z

The passage of this totalitarian bit of legislation in America - totally contrary to the spirit of that country, and its true, higher purposes in and for the world; and thus a sellout of that spirit - has prompted me to tell a little story. This is the story of

THE LITTLE BOY
WHO GREW UP

Once upon a time there was a little boy who asked a lot of questions of his parents - Why was the sky blue, and the grass green; why were there different looking humans; etc. etc. & etc. His parents answered his questions as best they could, but they began to grow bored of this imposition on their time, and knowledge. ‘Look it up,” he began being told by both of them. A bit gruffly, he thought; and began to ask fewer questions, and keep his own counsel; not fully understanding why they weren’t more forthcoming, seemingly didn’t like to be asked about things. Until one day, when the family gathered with the rest of the villagers to see someone identified to the little boy as the ’emperor’ - a real high human, it seemed. And the little boy looked at this man when he was paraded before them, and everybody around their family - including his parents - ooed and aahed at the emperor’s proudly announced fine new clothes; and the little boy said - speaking a little too loudly for the comfort of his parents, it appeared - “But - he has no clothes on!”

“Hush,” said his mother, in a low voice.

“What?”

“I said hush,” she repeated, sternly.

“But - “

“Your mother said ‘hush’,” said his father; even more sternly.

And, of course, that was that.

But the little boy began to pay even more attention to his surroundings, from that moment on. Because something seemed a little - wrong, to him, about his surroundings, and especially the people around him. They were behaving rather oddly, he thought. But to himself...

Until one day he could no longer contain himself, and he burst out, to his father (but carefully at the beginning; having learned that much, about life, by now): “Father...”

“Yes, son.” (He didn't say 'my son', because another funny thing about life that the little boy had begun to find out about was that his father and his mother, though 'married', and supposedly 'in love', as the grownups called it - like they were 'in love with' what they, and other grownups, called The Order - seemed to have been assigned to each other; and he had heard rumors that his father was not his real father. Whatever that meant.)

“Why are there some people with a lot of things, and many people with hardly anything at all, but there is plenty of everything in the stores?”

“Because some people have more money than other people do,” replied his father; in the tone of voice that the little boy had learned to be careful of. It meant that his father was a little impatient with him already. But he felt the need to persist with his question, and ventured out onto the thin ice he was beginning to feel surrounding him yet once again, in this curious world he found himself growing up in:

“But why?”

“Because they have worked harder than the others. And keep your voice down,” his father added, like he sometimes did, then glancing around them, and up at the street light fixtures, for some odd reason.

‘This kid will be the death of us yet,’ his father thought to himself; beginning to get very nervous, indeed.

It all came to a head the day that the little boy - just a little older than he had been when he had first started noticing curious things around him - said to his father, “Father...”

‘Uh-oh... ,’ thought his father; recognizing that tone of voice from his son; then replying, a bit tiredly, and warily: “Yes?”

“I have thought about this matter, of some people with a lot of things, and many people with hardly anything at all, although there is plenty of everything in the stores, and I have concluded what the problem is,” he concluded, a trifle triumphantly. (But then he was just a little boy.)

“What ‘problem’?” said his father.

“The problem of plenty in the midst of scarcity,” said the little boy; a bit put out that he had not been answered directly for his answer, to this matter, that the grownups seemed, for some curious reason or another, not to have figured out for themselves. (But then there were many curious things about their world; so it could have just been part of the overall pattern of ‘the way things were’ for them, he thought. For the grownups, that was. They seemed to have their heads in a rather funny place. ‘Funny’ as in peculiar. Not as in ‘ha ha’.)

“And what is that answer, Einstein,” said his father; like he did sometimes. (As in, ‘So why is the sky blue, Einstein,’ or, ‘So why is the grass green, Einstein?’ It had something to do with his growing up.)

“The answer is money.”

“What?”

“The problem is money itself. And so the answer is to get rid of money. And so the problem is solved,” replied the little boy; a little tentatively, waiting to hear how his father answered him, to see if there was something that he was missing in his deductive reasoning. But proud of himself for it. So far...

“No; the problem is you, son,” said his father, gruffly. “You just don’t understand how things work. You need to grow up.”

And so he grew up, some more. But continued to ‘keep his eyes open,’ as the adults around him often said. (Which seemed a little strange to him, considering that he felt that that was precisely what he had been doing; for example, back when he had seen that the emperor had on no clothes. And the adults around him seemed not to see that. Very strange, he had thought then. But didn’t think quite as much so anymore, after having grown up a little more, and having noticed a number of peculiar things, about these adults around him; who talked amongst themselves about ‘keeping their eyes open,’ but appeared not to be actually seeing things around them.

Apparently keeping your eyes open, and seeing things, were two different things, he reasoned. At least, when you’re an adult...

And then the day came when he was talking to his mother, and happened to mention something that he had read in a book in the back shelves of their local library; something about ‘religion’.

“You’re talking nonsense,” his mother said; and added, a little suspiciously, “Where did you get that idea from?”

Something told him not to say where he had gotten the idea from. He, instead, mumbled something about one of his friends.

“Which one?” his mother asked, sternly.

He could only think to say that he couldn’t remember, precisely; there were a number of different kids in the conversation circles after school, he said.

“You kids need to be careful,’ said his mother - without explanation - and left the matter at that.

Careful about what, he wondered; to himself. For he had begun to realize that he couldn’t go to his parents for answers to his questions. That they seemed to be afraid of something. Something so - big, that he couldn’t see it. But they could; somehow. Strangely enough; given the things that they didn‘t seem to be able to see....It was all turning out to be a very, very strange world, indeed.

So he decided to find out more about life from the only independent source that he could think of: from those old books on the dusty back shelves of the shiny new library that had been built for their village, to learn things from. Besides, of course, from all the online sources that were available to them; but he had begun to sense that there were gaps in the information available to them from that source. There seemed to be some sort of selection process, between the information that was up front for people, and what was ‘behind the scenes’, as it were - like the old books he had found out about, one day, from the kindly old white-haired Librarian Lady, who seemed to take pity on him, for all the questions he asked, and motioned for him to follow her to a sort of storage room behind the Reading Room; where he found a sort of treasure trove, and began spending time picking through the items there.

Books, and books, and books! Old books! Knowledge! Questions and answers! What a delight! he felt.

He couldn’t read some of the words, and they weren’t in The Dictionary - which discovered fact had really begun to open his mind - but he could at least get the gist of the material; and finally went to his Pedagog, who, he thought, if anybody could answer his questions, and help him with his deductive reasoning, it would be that learned man. And he spoke to the Pedagog thusly:

“I have read about something called reincarnation. - “

“You have.”

“Yes.”

“Where.”

“That’s not relevant to my question. Sir. What is important is that I have found enough information on the subject to convince me that it is true, and verifiable: that there is some part of us humans, that seems to have been called the ‘soul’, that survives beyond the death of the body - “

“Hold on. You say ‘verifiable’. How could that possibly be? We all know that there is nothing beyond our senses to sense.”

“No we don’t.”

“What!?” cried the venerable Pedagog.

The boy sensed that he was flirting with difficulty, if not danger. But he didn’t care anymore. Enough was enough.

“There are all manner of things beyond our senses,” he insisted.

“Nonsense.”

No. Just non-sense.”

“I beg your pardon?”

“My mother has used that word as well, and I decided to look it up. One of the definitions of ‘sense’ is ‘the ability to perceive’. We have been limited by our senses. That’s all.”

And the young man then started telling his Pedagog - his Pedagog! He who should know! - about all that he had found out, in the back room of their little out-of-the-way village’s library; and then brought the conversation back to the main point he wished this learned man - his school’s assigned learned man - to address:

“So, given all the evidence that there is - that there used to be, anyway. I mean, still is; just not available,” he said, in a bit of an accusatory way; evidencing his displeasure over his own Pedagog not letting him know about such things in their past on the planet “ - about something, some aspect of consciousness, surviving the death of the body, and coming back to the earthly plane of existence, time after time, in body after body - now a prince, now a pauper; now a male, now a female; now of one race or region, now another - what does that tell you?” he asked, in a rather demanding way; obviously upset by the process that he had entered into. The process of uncovering truths, denied him, and them: the people of planet Earth.

“...What does it tell you,” replied his Pedagog; seemingly beginning to defer to the young man’s sense of outrage. Perhaps from some residual part of his being, as a man having been attracted to the subject field of education - of educare; of the drawing forth from individuals, of their best, their highest potential. To take pride in being able to do just that.

“It tells me that ‘we’ are one another. That we are just players in a play - of our making. It’s called, in the old books, 'karma'. That we come back, lifetime after lifetime, working out our karma with each other. Until we ‘get it right’. Reach a point of equilibrium. At which point, we can move on.”

“Move on...to what; precisely.”

“I don’t know ‘what, precisely’. You’re supposed to be able to tell me that. You’re the Pedagog!” the now-young-man said, angrily. “But I can make a deduction, from all the evidence.”

‘And what is that ‘deduction’.”

“That, since we in incarnation are just playing parts, and are, then, one another, as the players in a drama - playing now one part, now another - that in actuality, we are One. Just, now, aspects of one Being. That I see in my reading used to be what they called God.”

And the boy’s Pedagog then felt compelled to tell the boy the truth, about his nature, and theirs; talked about The Hologram, and ‘interference patterns’, and all the rest about their condition. Including how some of them - like himself - had ‘sold out’. In order to ‘go along to get along’, realizing the all-pervasive power of surveillance that had been developed on the planet, to keep all the incarnates in control But some - like himself - hoping against hope for just such a day as this, when an incarnate would cease being merely a robot, and rebel.

And so the young man’s Pedagog wished him well on the fate he had chosen for himself (rather than it having been chosen for him, by the Controllers). And because the young man was persuasive, and made his case very clear - about what life was really all about - he got a number of his friends to join him, in what ultimately became a movement, first through their region, then the rest (via a form of electronic communications that couldn’t be blocked entirely by the Controllers) - that overthrew the regime that had gained power on the planet called Earth.

And they lived happily ever after; one by one - that is, individually - returning to Source. From whence thay had come, but all (including the Whole Itself) gaining wisdom in and by the individual spark’s experience of separation from the Godhead; to varying degrees of separation.

Until they got it right. Finished with their schooling. And then moved on. To

The End

In Common Cause for the Future...

2011-12-16T16:39:00.002Z

...of the United States, and The World.

I have just been engaging in an email exchange with a key member of the OWS Movement. He/they want to organise an American Spring march on Washington D.C. at the end of March next year, in part because of the danger presented by a piece of legislation just passed by both houses of Congress that will make of the American homeland a battlefield - in the intentionally-created War on Terror (for just such purposes) - and thus will eliminate what is called Posse Comitatus, which is a bit of law in America that keeps the military from being involved in domestic matters. Passed in the aftermath of the Civil War, it has been a thorn in the side of the PTB who want, and have been scheming, to take America down, and make of it a mere part of a region of their vaunted New World Order for the planet as a whole.* America, and its Constitution, have stood in their way; it's now showtime. And the OWS Movement is feeling - and rightly so - that they could well be caught up in the vague wording of the law, that could well make them 'terrorists' in the eyes of the American government (as has already been modeled in the UK), and thus subject to indefinite detention (no constitutional protections), until 'the end of hostilities'. Which in practice means until the twelfth of Never - "and that's a long long time".

I contributed a comment on the thread of a blog on this subject; which led to an exchange that may be of general interest. Herewith.

Re: [OWSnews.org] Comment: "Say NO to the Use of the Military in the United States"

[My Comment, of 16/12:]

Well put, [X], and well spotted about the wording in the NDAA. The key to understanding the intention of TPTB in this bit of legalistic legerdemain is that amendments to specifically prohibit the indefinite detention of U.S. citizens from the legislation was voted down. 'The requirement to detain...does not extend' is simply obfuscation; it doesn't rule it out. Posse Comitatus is dead - unless a radical move is made by The People. And one which will - could - unite the (real) Tea Partiers and Oathkeepers to this cause. And that is to recognize the very apparent illegality of Obama to occupy that office. If he is made to vacate the office, because he is a usurper, all legislation that he has signed into law is null and void, and We the People start over (including nullifying the so-called Patriot Act) . [my added emphasis]

What is needed is for that American Spring gathering to demand that either Obama release all of his bona fides - and explain the obvious forgery of both of the bc's that he has condoned the release of - or vacate the office forthwith; with The People appointing an Officer OF The People to hold that space, who will dissolve Congress - for not doing their constitutional duty in regards to this outrageous usurpation of the office - and call for elections within 'a time certain' (say 90 days); and who will also clean out the Augean stables of the executive branch of government while he (or she) is at it. For this is a bipartisan crime, which the investigation into it will uncover, and so is not a Republican vs Democrat crime. There's plenty of chicanery to go around the whole lot of them, as perpetraitors to the American republic. (And who was it who characterized the Constitution as just "a damn piece of paper", again??...)

The People need to take back their country, from the planned-for totalitarian New World Order of either the Right or the Left. The answer is, rather, to go Up. But that's another matter. For now: Seize the day, OWS; and make Common Cause with the rest of the 99%.

Again: Well spotted. And keep spotting, and reporting on, signs of The Takeover. Which could well include a Martial Law-triggering attack on Iran. Martial Law-triggering, from the reaction of a populace no longer cowed by their erstwhile Masters, and feeling their solidarity with one another, as Americans. Not as serfs to an Empiric power. That would be exampling a warning of old: that Without a vision, the people perish.

[to me]
I can't believe people are still wasting their time on the nonsense of his birth certificate! What nonsense. There are many more important reasons to criticize Obama that stupid shit like that.

[me to [X]
So you've just made your position clear..

Thanks for the info. I won't bother with supporting your initiative any longer.

You are part of the problem.

[to me]
Fine. Obama's birth certificate has been made public, even Donald Trump acknowledges it. I thought the birther movement had died with that release. You are the only person I have seen raise the issue since then.

I am a major critic of Obama and will not support him in anyway but I don't need a losing argument to criticize him. I hope he loses, don't care who wins (they are all lousy).

[me to {X}
Based on your response, I'll back off a bit, because you've raised a good point: Most people won't know about this ongoing scandal because the MSM won't report on it (WorldNetDaily & the Western Center for Journalism, among other right-wing sites, have documented in spades the forgery flaws in Obama's purported long-form bc; as in the earlier COLB). The People won't hear about it on Fox News either because their Masters are in on the scam. The fix is in at the top, of both main political parties. Obama is doing the bidding of The Insiders because they made him an offer he couldn't refuse (know about his background). You are right to be angry at him. He is in the control of his puppet masters.

The American people have been asleep at a switch. They have bought a pig in a poke for their presidency. It has been like a fake check for a lottery winner to look at. 'See? Here's the check. Now all you have to do...'

There is still a legitimate 2-party difference in America, way of looking at politics. I 'get' that you are for participatory democracy (because you have seen the corruption 'inherent' in the current system); and most conservatives are for a [constitutional] republican form of government, so that minorities - ie, as individuals - have protection from the potential oppression of the majority. But there is a wide swath of common ground between the (real, grassroots) Tea Partiers and OWS types who are standing (occupying), with good reason, against the nexus between the corporate world & the government. That is nascent full-blown fascism on the Right. But socialism/syndicalism on the Left is also nascently totalitarian by nature. Neither is the answer for the future; they embody both Scylla and Charybdis. The OWS Movement can meet in the center with those other good Americans of the 99% who don't want the very financially and politically powerful running the world - for obvious reasons now.

Make common cause. Don't separate yourselves from them. Meet in the middle. And that could well mean that you need to recognize that Obama is a ringer; not just a failure in your political eyes

Do a little homework in this regard. You'll be better off in the long run, if you do. And so will your Movement.

Stan"

Closing comment: I hope the OWS Movement and the Tea Partiers do make common cause on this matter. It is NOT a matter of either/or between them; that is a false dichotomy. They have a common enemy.

As do we all, who wish for the highest for humanity.

Not the lowest.

* This is why 'they' have developed connections over many years with the likes of Red China - arranging for stolen military documents from the U.S.'s Top Secret vaults to make their way to the communist masters of the China mainland. Those masters are to be 'cut in on the deal'. At least, that is the intention.
We'll see.

Use It or Lose It

2011-12-15T20:10:00.015Z

In my last blog I referred to the "trashing" of the world by the very powerful of the day, who need, now, to "back off" as The People take over control of their own destiny on planet Earth. I am aware, now - as I have never been before - that it is, and will be, not quite as simple as that, as a few bits of 'news' have shown me.

Where to begin.

A good place: a confession. I have trusted that, as Joe Public becomes aware of the facts of life in this our day and age, he would begin to take action, to 'set things right'.* An example would be the assassination of JFK. Whereby over the years since that horrendous assault on, really, the American people - having their country decapitated; and, insult to injury, before their very eyes to boot - they would do something about it. Insist on a rigorous investigation, to ferret out the truth. And when the Warren Commission came up with its report, and there was widespread dissatisfaction with its conclusions - primarily, that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone - what did the American people do? Well, - good for them: they kept the pressure on, and forced Congress to hold a further investigation into the matter. And the result of that? The investigation concluded that there was, indeed - as many citizens suspected - a conspiracy involved. And the result of that investigation, and outcome?

Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zilch.

Which lack of 'right-setting' just emboldened The Powers That Be behind the scenes to continue on their snickering way, in their plans to control the world; knowing, then, that if they could just maintain control of the Mainstream Media, they could accomplish their ends. By keeping the American public preoccupied with other things, than getting to the truth of things.

Bothering their silly heads with such stuff.

And we come now to our day and age, when considerable evidence points to two main facts of life in our time: (1) that 9/11 shows considerable elements of having been an inside job; and (2) that the current occupier of the office of the presidency of the United States is just that. An occupier. Or to say, more clearly: an illegal occupier.

And what are the American people doing about these two main factors of political life in their time?

Short answer: Not enough.

Oh, both incidents have prompted considerable reaction, and considerable development of a case for their being major crimes carried out on the American people. But the American people have not 'risen to the occasion', to do anything substantial about either events, in their time.

On their watch.

Why?

The easiest answer: because the perpetraitors have control of the Mainstream Media.

But that is a facile answer, and excuse.

The real reason?

Because the American people have gone to sleep.

Because life is easier, when you can't be bovvered.

Now, I accept that when times are tough, and you have to worry about your living conditions, your attention is not easily drawn to 'the bigger things'. But ladies and gentlemen of the current generation of Americans: there really shouldn't be anything more important in your lives than the one really big thing of your lives, as Americans:

That you are responsible for the running of the American way of life.

Which is as a constitutional republic. A government of, by, and for the people.

That's you.

Not your representatives alone. They are there as your representatives. And if they are not doing their job of representing you, you need to remove them from office, and elect representatives who will more closely represent your sentiments.

But maybe- just maybe - that is precisely what has happened.

That the basic American's sentiment is:

Let George do it. I can't be bovvered.

I am saying, that Americans have a greater responsibility than to try to get away with that sort of attitude. That you have been called to a great work. The work of self-responsibility. As a shining example to the world, how to live their lives without despots running their lives for them.

And you are blowing it.

Take this current business of a person in the office of the presidency of the United States - a particularly honorable, and responsible, and powerful, office - whom there is very good reason to believe is an imposter. Is an illegal occupant of that office, according to the Constitution of the United States of America - according, that is to say, to the rule of law. Which case has been tried, by many individuals, to bring to a court of law, to be adjudicated fairly. And which case has been blocked, over and over again, by procedural reasons; which the Supreme Court of the U.S. could act on, if it wanted to.

Which it has chosen not to do.

So it is part of the problem, not part of the solution.

And individuals have tried - mightily - to get their representatives in the Congress of the United States to address this issue; which is the proper, constitutional body to do so, regarding such a constitutionally fraught matter.

And which has chosen not to touch it.

So it is part of the problem, not part of the solution.

So, the solution?

It's up to The People.

If The People of the United States - the current major representatives of self-governance on Earth - were up to the job, they would engage in a march on Washington, of The People, Assembled, to demand that the current occupant of the office of the presidency of their country either release all of his bona fides, for expert inspection** - and that includes his passport(s), and his Social Security records, and his school records (the latter particularly for how he portrayed himself, in order to get the financial wherewithal to attend the institutions of higher learning that he did) - and prove his legitimacy, or vacate the office forthwith; with The People then appointing an Officer of The People to hold that space, who would then dissolve the sitting Congress - which failed to act in this matter according to its constitutional duty and responsibility - and declare elections to be held within 'a time certain', say 90 days.*** This Officer also to start the process of tracing down anybody and everybody who had anything to do with this crime against the American people, and see them brought to justice. (They will have their day in a court of law - a truly independent court of law. Which it may take a bit of doing to establish. But it will happen.)

And the same holds true for the crime against the American people in the case of the 9/11 atrocity; which has all the earmarks of having been a false flag operation. For the Truth will out, about all of these econo-political matters that have bedevilled humanity in our time -

unless the American people really aren't up to their responsibility, in these matters, and such matters.

And I now have my serious concerns about this level of their ability, to 'rise to the occasion'. Based on one recent blog in particular. And I get now to the issue of 'trashing' that I mentioned back at the beginning of this blog.

Within the last day or so, a blogger on environmental issues posted his most recent of a series, apparently mostly to do with the American 'experience' of such issues. I say 'apparently', because I haven't read any but his last two. And in his current one, he quotes from a number of many emails he received after his previous blog, wherein he took Americans to task for their lack of consciousness in this matter. The emails gave examples, from many parts of the country, of the terrible public conditions in regards to trash; primarily along highways, and at gathering sites. It was, all, saddening.

This is the current state of America?

Americans can't even keep their environments clean?

Whatever happened to the concept of 'America, the Beautiful'?? And further, the concept of the Earth as a live Being, entitled to have our respect, for offering us an environment in which to be?

Some of these emailers thought they had the answer. Some of them had lived in or spent some time in other parts of the world, and noticed that that factor, of a lack of respect for the environment, was endemic in the areas they had lived in, or visited; so they felt it was a reflection of the consciousness & culture of such 'minorities' who had come to live in the U.S.A.

But that doesn't answer the question of why so many long-time Americans are caught up on the same level of consciousness as well.

So the answer?

Americans can't be bovvered in this day and age. To pay attention to the trashing of their own environments. And to the trashing of the one thing that stands in the way between the rule of law and despotism in the country:

the Constitution of the United States of America.+

Use it, or Lose it.

And with it, a noble dream: that people can govern themselves. That they don't need overseers. That they can rise to the occasion.

So what say you, Citizen?

And just a note. I have read the argument that no one wants to touch the issue of the current occupant's ineligibility to hold the office of the presidency, because if he is forced by public pressure to vacate the office, 'all hell will break loose' in the country - the argument that the 'African-Americans' will riot. I see...and I object, in their defense. That is about the most racist thing I have ever heard. It presumes that 'African-Americans' (can we just call them black Americans; as opposed for precise description reasons to white Americans, or Hispanic Americans, or Asian Americans, or Native Americans? I hate this hyphenated jazz. In terms of 'Americans', we are all Americans) are so stupid that they can't understand a legal argument. No. Any public unrest would be occasioned by political considerations - and by deliberate agent provocateurs, who sense it is the writing on the wall for them, and their masters. Is, because The People of the United States are, finally, standing up for their country.

Would be. In such a scenario, as I outline here.

And offer, for consideration.

Serious, heartfelt consideration.

Considering, that we have a better world to build, now, than the dystopian one planned for us, by the world's current Powers That Be.

Who need, now - massively, and immediately (before they can create major mayhem, as part of their Master Plan) - to become the Powers That Were.

P.S. And to those who may wonder if I am worried for my life, I will say: Yes. But not in the sense that they may think that answer is meant.
To anybody who might threaten my life, I would say, quietly: I wouldn't do that if I were you. And I AM you. As you are me. And We Are One Another. And in point of ultimate fact: We Are One.
Just beginning to recognize it. Globally; and spiritually speaking.

The U.S. Constitution Hangs By a Thread

2011-12-13T20:57:00.012Z

I just got an email a while ago, from a U.S. organisation called 'Campaign for Liberty', that is most disturbing. It turns out that the PTB are close to a major breakthrough in the elimination of the rule of law in America - in the trashing of the Constitution - by using the subterfuge of their War on Terror to slip legislation through that will make U.S. citizens susceptible to draconian laws supposedly designed to round up 'terrorists' and keep them in indefinite detention - no habeas corpus; no 'probable cause'. By stealthily making the U.S. homeland part of the 'battlefield' in that deliberately created 'war', the PTB have moved the arbitrary power of the state right into American homes. Below is their candid description of this caper.

"Dear Stan,

You and I both know that freedom is not free. Its price cannot be measured in dollars - and its defense requires eternal vigilance.

On December 1, the U.S. Senate passed S. 1867, the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), by a vote of 93-7.

A slightly different NDAA, H.R. 1540, had already passed the U.S. House in May, and it has been reconciled with the Senate version in a closed session of a Joint Conference Committee.

The NDAA is passed annually to specify the budget and expenditures for the U.S. Department of Defense, but this year's version would essentially strip American Citizens of due process - protections that used to set us apart from despotic nations.

The Senate version of the NDAA declares the homeland to be part of the battlefield in the "War on Terror."

In simple terms, Sections 1031 and 1032 of S. 1867 allow American citizens to be detained indefinitely - without charges or trial - until the War on Terror is declared over.

There has been some recent confusion over what exactly the Senate bill actually stipulates.

In fact, when you call your representative and BOTH of your senators, as I'm about to ask you to do, the staff will probably give you one of two canned responses:

1.) "The Feinstein amendment #1456, which passed on Dec. 1 (by a vote of 99-1), says that no provision of Sec. 1031 can be taken to "affect existing law or authorities, relating to the detention of United States citizens."

In reality, this was added nearly unanimously at the last minute to appease those of us rightly opposed to these detention provisions. In the Congressional Record that day, there are arguments from Senators Lindsey Graham and Carl Levin, both of whom supported this amendment, stating they believe the President and Congress already have the authority to detain American Citizens, since the Supreme Court hasn't yet ruled otherwise. This is not the case, but it explains why the bill's main supporters did not oppose the Feinstein amendment.

2.) "It already exempts American Citizens. You should know that Sec. 1032 actually states: "The requirement to detain a person in military custody under this section does not extend to citizens of the United States."

Don't fall for their cleverly chosen legislative language.

A careful reading of the suspect sections bears out that, while there is no requirement to detain an American citizen, the act thereof is not explicitly prohibited. By extension, it is actually permitted.

As if the above is not bad enough, the power to determine which American citizens will be indefinitely detained without charges or trial will be left to the President alone.

I'm certain you would agree that something as important as overturning longstanding American jurisprudence deserves to be the subject of a vigorous debate in a public forum.

But, late last week, the House, by an overwhelming majority (406-17), passed a motion that allowed this Joint Committee to meet in secret.

Last night, the House and Senate conferees emerged without having changed the offending detainee provisions of the NDAA.

And the section numbers (formerly 1031 and 1032) have been changed to 1021 and 1022.

A vote on the conference report could come as early as this Wednesday in the House of Representatives!" [ie, tomorrow.]

Isn't that clever of these despots. And the tipoff to the legitimacy of this take on the matter - that this is not just an innocent 'oversight' regarding the use of words - is the information that Congress turned down a couple of amendments attempting to explicitly prohibit U.S. citizens from being capable of being rounded up by this legislation.

Why not "specifically prohibit'/explicitly exclude detention of U.S. citizens without constitutional safeguards? Could it be because U.S. citizens might be involved in 'acts of terrorism'? And if so, what could be the definition of 'acts of terrorism'? Could it be just giving 'aid and comfort to the enemy' by speaking for constitutional protection to be provided to people deemed terrorists by the PTB? In the spirit of George W. Bush's announcement to the world, in the wake of 9/11, that "You're either with us, or you're against us" (or words to that effect)?? Or could it be simply opposition to the federal government, 'in a time of war'???...

In a nutshell: 'They' have been trying for years to figure out how to merge the U.S. into their New World Ordure (most lately, as part of a region called the North American Union), and they keep coming up against the Constitution - or, as George W reportedly called it, that 'damn piece of paper'. To be tossed aside, by hook or by crook...

I grieve for my home country, as much as I am angered by the arrogance and deceit of these people who are trying to rule the world. The same people who planned, and caused to be executed, the 'new Pearl Harbor' on America, in order to further their hegemonic ends. In particular, to create an American imperialist umbrella over the Middle East. In order - besides securing oil for their intended American empire - to further the political ends of Zionism.

For yes, the Israeli government was deeply involved in 9/11; in cahoots with their placepeople in the American government, and their control of the banking and media professions (in particular).*

9/ll was so obviously a set-up - for anybody who had eyes to see - somebody's fingerprints were all over it besides the patsies recruited for the job. I won't go into the details of the 9/11 false-flag op at this point; just to say that some very high-up people were behind that atrocity, for it to have been able to be carried off the way it was, and they did. And by 'they', I mean a couple of dens of thieves - one on the nominal Right, and one on the nominal Left, of American politics; but both controlled at the top, of a pyramid, with an All-Seeing Eye at the apex; standing as well for comprehensive surveillance of the citizenry on the planet.

Which Eye is going to come to a crashing halt, when the Powers of Light take over on this planet, and help bring it to its higher fate. Helped, that is, by The People. Who will come into their own, after all this skulduggery on the part of the planetary elite. They have had their day.

I'm sorry to see how close they have been able to come, to pull their caper completely over the eyes of The People. But that's it.**

I have news for them. And it's in the spirit of the story about a whole group of people claiming, say, that "I am Spartacus"; one after the other; and the PTB don't know who to detain. Here is our message to the power elite on this planet; in a nutshell:

'This is my world you're trashing. Back off.'

As for 9/11: there will be a new, independent, comprehensive - and I mean comprehensive, as in exhaustive - investigation; and it will expose the truth, for all to see. The truth, of how close America came to being overthrown.

Close. But no cigar.

For the Truth - and the Light - will win out. And all dwellers in the dark will have their choice: to come out into the Light, and rejoin their path to their highest positive potential. Or succumb to the pull of the Dark, and miss out on this opportunity to regain their lawful inheritance.

Your choice.

* My message to the Israeli government, when the American government is set to rights (and the current occupier of the office of the presidency is unceremoniously dumped out on the street, Congress is dissolved - for not doing its constitutional job in the takeover of the American government, and in fact aiding and abetting in that crime - and a wholesale cleanout of the Augean stables of the executive branch of the government takes place):

'America has nothing to say to you until you issue an apology to the American people for your attack on the U.S.S. Liberty in international waters, and on the U.S. Marine barracks in Lebanon; for what has been called the Lavon Affair; and so forth, and especially including your involvement in 9/11, and its coverup.

'You can make any statement you wish regarding your justifications, and intentions. But at the least, there needs to be a clear and abject apology. And then we can proceed from there.

'And to clarify: this is not addressed to the Israeli people in general, or to the Jews in America who have not supported blindly the Israeli government in its machinations in the world. To the Israeli people in general, I say: Seek for the truth. And ye shall find. You may not be happy with what you find. But it is important that you do. As it is for us all.'

** Including creating 'terminator genes', in order to force the farmers of the world to come to their 'store' for their seeds; thus giving them control over the world's food supplies. And ruling huge areas of America off from human habitation or interaction; not only to 'save the environment', but so that people can't escape their dragnet, and fend for themselves in the wild. And controlling rural America itself, through a federal committee, that will determine how much food and milk farmers can grow - and outrightly make it illegal to sell directly to the public (for 'health reasons', of course). And...and...and......
They're clever. But too clever by half. The picture is beginning to be seen, for what it is: total human population control. Like a herd of cattle. To be branded and vaccinated and otherwise made docile, for takeover, and 'management'. And slaughter.
News flash. The future on this planet will NOT be the dystopian version planned for it by these minions of the Dark, and their Masters. They are playing a part of the overall picture. But they will not succeed in making their part in the process the product. They are providing Man with choice. That's all.

The New Paradigm

2011-12-09T20:49:00.009Z

I just today got around to reading in detail an article in The (Glasgow) Herald from last Tuesday, that I found very impressive. It was by their weekly columnist Harry Reid; and though he characterizes himself as "on the soft right' of the political spectrum, he was willing to entertain the idea that something needs to change, in our socio-econo-political system; that we can't continue to go on the way we are - to the point that he ventured to say that "being a little less obsessed with consuming might not be so bad".

If a soft righter can utter such a thought, there's hope yet...anyway, I responded thusly:

9 December 2011

Dear Harry,

I write in appreciative response to two of your columns in particular. The first was way back towards the first of the year when you wrote a paen to ‘the old Scots pub’, done in by the anti-smoking brigade. Well expressed. My sympathies for its demise.*

The second was your column of this week (6 December). I’d like to respond in some detail, besides appreciating you for your open mind to this situation.

Indeed, there is ‘something new under the sun’ - or at least, such blue-sky thinking is being called for; and in spades. (“Maybe it is time, at last, to find another way.” Quite.) But the old right-left prescriptions aren’t going to do the trick, now. Nor should they. Blue skies should be blue skies, not the old familiar skies with dark clouds aplenty in each. I would like to propose such a new, blue version; as the system as it is shows signs of being close to collapse. As it should, now. For something new, and far better, to come into being. At last.

A New Era for and by humanity is just waiting in the wings to manifest. And that new era - a ‘new paradigm’ - is - can be - characterized by a release of the structure in which humanity has been living - the matrix we have been swimming in - long enough: the milieu of interest-bearing money, and people being motivated to do things by the human construct called the profit motive. There is a higher motive, just waiting to make its entrance into the affairs of humanity. And it has to do with the quality of Service. Living a life of Service to a vision. That is the key to the future of social life on planet Earth.

And I am not talking about the ‘vision’ of communism.

What am I talking about.

I am talking about a system of being that is basically (ultimately) a moneyless society, wherein people share their goods and services with one another, and give of their best in doing so, out of a higher motive than the profit motive. Out of the highest motive there is, and could ever be. And that is to do so out of gratitude to their Creator for life with meaning.

A system that runs by, in a word, Love; and which is characterized by the principle, and quality, and value, of Service. (Or ‘contribution’, if the word Service carries too many negative connotations for a person. I am not talking about ‘servitude’.)

We need to get above the level of the problem, in order truly to solve the problem. The problem that is keeping us from creating community on planet Earth (Like the service to the community of the old Scots pub...)

This is not far-fetched thinking (except in the sense of thinking outside of the box). Anybody who has been following various spiritual teachers and cutting-edge websites and such (like the Occupy movement) will know that considerable thinking is being given to this very idea, of a moneyless society, as the answer for the future. That it is an idea whose time has come. With the globalising of the world that has taken place in the last decade or so, and with the increase in various forms of technology that is throwing more and more people out of work, and with the advent of new sources of energy - even beyond the obvious, ‘green’ renewables - called free energy devices, and with ‘consumerism’ and ‘growth’ needing logically to be replaced by a steady-state system, conserving of resources, it is obvious that there is, indeed, something new under the sun. That something new is cooking (besides the planet; some say...): A new way of looking at social life. A way that frees us from most of the drudgery of the past, and opens the windows to the opportunity for a new way of being with one another on this lovely old, beleaguered old planet, wherein - as I said - we provide each other with the goods and services we need to live a wholistic life, which includes one with a dedication to living in harmony with Gaia - our home away from home.

Now, obviously, this requires a belief in a larger reality than simply the material level of being. - Or does it?? I submit that it is no longer a matter merely of a ‘belief’. There is so much evidence of such a larger reality in now, in our time - through such avenues as new findings in physics,** and evidences from Near Death Experiences/Out of Body Experiences (where the perceiver has perceived things - visuals, conversations - that he/she couldn’t have perceived within our current ’take’ on things); and via a tremendous body of literature that supports the concept of reincarnation (thus a Plan) - that it is really not that big of a stretch to consider such an answer to the dilemma that we find ourselves in, at this time.

A dilemma just waiting for a blue-sky-thinking response. And thank you, Harry, for helping to seed that fertile space.

Yours sincerely,

* Too bad the anti-smoking zealots weren’t told, in successful terms, to butt out, so to speak. Democracy, and the free market, would better have ruled. If indeed there was a market for no-smoking such establishments, it would be a very short-sighted publican who would not cater to that crowd, in tandem with those who prefer the no-smoking version. But that wouldn’t have fit the purpose of the exercise, would it. Which was to let the health - & social - authoritarians rule. And what next, one wonders...
[Do I smoke? No. Do I like to be around smoking? No. 'Then why...' Because it's a free will thing. If the 'top down' runs things, then we are but slaves to the system. I won't have it. Service, yes. Servitude, no. Read on.]

** See, eg, the new book out by David Wilcock titled ‘the Source Field Investigations’, which summarizes such facts from physics and other disciplines

A comment. In my letter I referred to the replacement of the current order of things by "a system of being...' I meant by it as in comparison to a system merely of 'doing'. The New will require us to embody the consciousness that will inform it, and keep it going. As to that factor, I offer the following additional thoughts to this blog. It is a 'piece' directed to my fellow members of the 'spiritual community' of which I am a part:

"Moving into

CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS

As a centre of Light and demonstration, the Findhorn Foundation and Community have an important role to play, and message to send and give to the world, especially at this time of great need in the world. And that is the role of loving service to a vision, coupled with an inner connection with the Presence. The Presence of The Christ. Or as David Spangler has described it: the cosmic Christ; whereby and with which we can transform civilization here, into a close approximation of the kingdom of heaven. On Earth, as it is in Heaven; just once removed. While we complete our time in incarnation. Before returning completely to Oneness with the Divine. With our Source.

Just a little work to do first. To establish an outpost of that kingdom on Earth. Where we will do things - share goods and services with one another, and give of our best in the process - not out of the motive of ‘making money’, out of the human construct called the profit motive. But ‘driven’ by the highest motive there is, and could ever be: the motive of gratitude to our Creator for life with meaning. Out of, in a word: Love.

And when we do - not ‘if’, but when -‘all else will be added unto us’. Out of the abundance generated by such a system, of self-governance, in perfect alignment with Spirit.

That’s our work here. Our better ‘business’. Let’s be about it; with joy, and good humour. Knowing, that what we do here - what we model here - has this great importance to and for the world at large.

In our time."

So, confession time: I still have to bring my own community around, to this idea, of a moneyless society. So no, I do not expect it to be an easy task, to convince the world as a whole of its merits, and achievability. But I have a secret weapon in the matter.

It's called the power of Spirit to break through even the hardest of crusts. Yes, some will be reluctant to take all this on. But it will happen.

Not only because it needs to.

But because it already has.

P.S. The reference to David Spangler is to a man, young at the time, who came to this community (in the north of Scotland) from America, and helped immeasurably in moving it out of just a focus on 'inner listening' and 'co-creation with Nature' to encompass the concept of a 'systems change' for the whole of society. His first book, conceived and birthed at the community, was called 'Revelation: the Birth of a New Age' - probably his signature tome - and it was followed by many others (and he continues to turn them out to this day, on various 'spiritual' subjects). One of his finest, in my opinion, is titled 'Reflections on The Christ' (based on talks he gave to the community in the early '70s); and I would like to close this blog with a pertinent quote from its opening chapter, entitled 'The Christ Pattern':

"The Christ pattern intrinsically is not a suffering pattern. It is a pattern leading from strength to strength and from joy to joy. It is that pattern which we are now asked to manifest.

"All of this is only background. What is being represented at Findhorn and by other centres like it and by individuals throughout the world who are so attuned to this pattern, is a liberation of this cosmic Christ who has been, in a way, imprisoned within the planet. Being carried on this tremendous uprush of power and joy to becoming at one with the true Christ pattern that flows through each of us and within each of us. An attunement which really requires no struggle, no stress, only that we relax to it and allow the normal, natural, growing forces within us to take us to it ('it' is a clumsy way of expressing it, because the Christ is not an it and it is not a place) to move us to that level of consciousness, or that perception of consciousness where we realize the tremendous joy and a tremendous oneness that we share with all that is and all that will ever be.

"That background may place what people at Findhorn are doing in some perspective. They are evolving a group Christ. They are, by demonstrating a new civilization, a new way of doing things, performing the Christ function of drawing that same awareness out of the world..."

These words were written before, and published in, 1977. And they are as true today as they ever were.

We all have work to do, to bring The New about.

But it is happening.

J'Accuse

2011-12-05T15:10:00.008Z

I have, as of today, received my last copy of the American mostly-political magazine, National Review. I canceled my subscription this year, after many years as a loyal reader of this right-wing publication, giving me that window onto the American scene. I did so, because the NR - a very respectable publication that could have successfully blown the whistle on the curious and suspicious background of the man currently occupying the office of the president of the United States,* which makes it look very much as though he is a usurper in and of the office - chose to do nothing about this major matter; and thus conspired in (or at the least, was an accessory to) the biggest deception in history.

Well; maybe not the biggest deception in all of history. That could be reserved for the 'Jesus' conspiracy. But at the least, the biggest in modern history.

Bigger, to my way of thinking, than the sinking of the Lusitania (which helped suck the U.S. into the first World War); and Pearl Harbor (which did the trick for the Second World War); and 9/11 (which did the same for the War on Terror); and other, lesser conspiracies in our time.

Which brings up the general subject of how the United States has been used and abused for years - to further the ignoble ends of a cabal of Very Powerful People.

To keep this subject limited, for now, to one aspect of this matter; but a very important one: I am not happy (to say the least) with how all of these modern-day events have been put over on the American people. But then, it is in part their fault, too. If they were going to think to live by government of, by, and for 'the people', they needed to be aware not to go asleep on their watch. Or they would be sheared like sheep. As such Founding Fathers as Thomas Jefferson warned clearly about.

What's the point of a new way of doing things - to move beyond the power of both Religion and Royalty, and into the realm of self-responsibility - if it is going to be treated so cavalierly? Almost as an afterthought, as 'the people' got on with the business of - in short - making money? Which business was clearly controlled by just those forces as the likes of Jefferson warned about?? And the likes of Andrew Jackson freed the American people from???

Yes, The People elected him to office. And then went back to sleep...

To move on to the point I was leading up to, back at the beginning of this short thread:

Humanity now knows enough about what the game is, to stop playing it. Over and over and over again.

It can be captivating, yes. But that is in part the point: to test us. In our dedication to, and devotion to, our Creator. In order for each of us sparks of divinity, and the Whole, to advance further on our paths.

My advice: Leave the illusion - the Game - behind. Go for the real thing.

And to combine this point with the point back at the beginning:

We are alll playing parts in a drama. The man currently occupying the office of the presidency of the United States is playing the part of a usurper, an illegal occupant of that office; and some of us are playing the parts of those who want him out of there, for sullying that honourable office; and some of us are playing the parts of those who want him to stay there, for representing a substantial change in things.

We're both right, in our ways. But there is a larger right. And that is, that he must vacate the office, for a Good to take the place of a Bad. The Bad having been to think, and act on, the idea of the end justifying the means. And the Good being to counter that notion. Including allowing the sparks of divinity to return to the House of their Father of their own free will. Not because they are coerced into doing so, and deprived of choice in the matter.

It is a fundamental difference in the way to approach Life.

Choose. And choose wisely.

And that is the very point of the Drama.

As for the 'Jesus' conspiracy; briefly. I like what Ralph Ellis has written about this matter. And the likes of Michael Baigent; who in his book 'the Jesus Papers' makes a strong case for the mainstream story that has been handed down to us in our time being fraudulent, and how it is.

As for the Why: that would be a major story. And would encompass the very point I am making in this little thread:

that we must stay awake, and aware. Or we can be led astray.

As a test.

Of our dedication to the Truth.

Including, of our own higher nature. As an integral - holographic? - part of The One.

To Whom all blessings will flow. At the point of full Awareness.

that

I am God.

You are God.

We are One.

Living in Glass Cages

2011-12-04T15:13:00.003Z

It's snowing outside the window of my second floor cosy cave, in a former four-star hotel (transformed magically into 'a centre of Light and demonstration', for the raising of consciousness on the planet. For a purpose. For the purpose of entering into - bringing about - a New Age. The New Age...)

And the copper beech tree in the centre of my personal wintry scene - with a narrow road in the background winding up to - somewhere (in physical fact, a golf course clubhouse, set in a stand of evergreens) - has been stripped bare for its winter rest, after its fiery near death experience in a particularly balmy autumn...

'Now is the winter of our discontent' comes to mind...

Definition, I find, in a search via Google: 'The time of unhappiness is past.' Yes. I can relate to that...

...but there is still a melancholy lingering in the air. Something still unsatisfying...like a pungent odor from an unhappy fire...

I read in the papers lugubrious things. People killing people. People practicing oneupmanship on others...

People; people...

I'm not interested in people having great ideas in order to practice self-aggrandizement. I'm interested in what people will come up with in order better to serve the concept of community creation. A community - with common unity - of souls. We don't live in isolation from one another. We are interdependent.

A good book in this regard is the new one by David Wilcock, entitled 'The Source Field Investigations'.* In it he reviews a lot of the research that has gone on and is going on revealing the makeup of the physical dimension that we are living in, and the underlying fact that everything - "(b)acteria, plants, insects, eggs, animals and humans" - appears to be "sharing the same Mind". That All is connected. Through a non-electromagnetic energy Field.

So why are we living as if it were not true.

As if it were not true that 'As we do unto others [and Everything], so do we do unto ourselves'?...

We have work to do. To live our lives as though it were true. Not as if it were not, as we - largely - are doing at present.

There are harbingers of the spring coming on. People - individuals - who are living connected-up lives. Lives reflecting that consciousness. That sense of the Oneness of all things.

But is it enough?

And in time??...

Meanwhile, I await my turn. To make a difference. In the outer scheme of things.

As I bide my time, in my cave - a cosy one; but a cave nevertheless - in the north of Scotland. And watch the seasons change outside my window on the world that I am in; but not of.

At least, metaphorically speaking.

Claiming Your Christhood

2011-12-03T21:49:00.011Z

I'm going out on a limb here. But it feels like right timing. As various very dangerous scenarios in the world heat up, and threaten to play themselves out on the physical. I need to do my part - up here in my cave in the north of Scotland - to help head 'it' off at the come to pass. The more I, and others, invoke a higher outcome, the better. To be able to feel that we did all we could. Up against whatever karma still needs to play itself out.

So here's my

ANNOUNCEMENT
of the
ANNUNCIATION

What would I really like to say to my brothers and sisters here in the Findhorn Foundation (and to a lesser extent, the members of the wider, Findhorn Foundation Community)?

Okay. You asked for it. ( :-) )

I would really like to say, more clearly, that I have recently been trying to prepare you for the modern-day Good News. Which is that the Findhorn Foundation - and as characterized by Sir George Trevelyan - is the Essene community of and for the New Age. That out of this community wll come the impulse for a new era on planet Earth. Which can also be called the kingdom of heaven; for it is to be dedicated to The Most High, and functions in alignment with the highest motive we Sons and Daughters of our Source can live our lives by: out of respect for, and gratitude to, our Creator, for giving us - allowing us - the gift of life with meaning.

And if you are not ready or willing to embody that role - if you’re not in sync with it - you really should leave, and thus get out of the way of those who are ready to embody, and further, the new, for humanity, and Gaia; and the glory of God. Which means, and entails, breaking the mold of the old. Particularly as ‘the old’ had to do with humanity being motivated to do things by the concept of profit, growing out of the means of interest-bearing money - in a word: usury.

Which we were warned about. And which ‘tool’ has had its day. And must now get out of the way of a higher motive for social activity. The highest motive there is, and can ever be: doing things out of, in a word: Love.

It will happen. Ready or not.

Because it’s time.

Announced - ‘channeled’ - on this day of the Gregorian calendar of December 3, 2011. The Incarnation - more clearly - of the New, Improved Model for Humanity’s Welfare.

---

And speaking of welfare, and the current model of social life; some observations.

Welfare.

The current model - at least in the UK - is to provide more welfare monies to reduce (child) poverty. My response: You give people on welfare - and others observing the arrangements - more incentive not to work, they won’t work. Duh.

The answer? Two-fold.

(a) First of all, to acknowledge: The government never should have gotten involved in a ‘welfare’ system whereby citizens were incentivized to have children ON welfare. That is to say, on the taxpayers’ shilling. That result? Generations of families on Welfare. A welfare class.
Not fair to them. Not fair to the taxpayers. Not good for the health of the society.

(b) The way out of the poverty trap (in terms of the current money system): No female should be paid any taxpayers’ money to have a child - let alone multiple births - on the taxpayers.
If they can’t afford to raise a child properly, ie, not in a state of poverty, they should not be having any - and especially not when many taxpayers can‘t afford to have their own children, and are being responsible adults in not having any.
To force the taxpayers to pay for others to have children on their shilling is not only unfair. It is immoral.
Until the current mindset, of ‘welfarism’, is broken, the state - which bears some responsibility for the current state of affairs, in seducing females with a bag of goodies, to have children on ‘it’ - could provide contraceptive advice and materials cheaply, or, depending on income circumstances (aka ‘means tested’), even for free. But ‘not one cent for tribute’.
If a female, still - with all of this social awareness kicking in - has a child that she can’t afford to raise decently, she needs to rely on her family for financial support. That, or private charities; where the money is given freely. Not extorted.
It’s called tough love. The state does no favours to such people, by giving them perverse incentives. They need to learn to take responsibility for themselves; for their actions. That is the name of the game, of life. It also has a name: karma.

I don’t want there to be any more children born into poverty. That, too, is not only unfair. It is immoral.*

Drugs.

I’m not interested in saving people from themselves. They have to learn to take responsibility for themselves, not leave it up to others - ie, the state, or any other source - to do it for them. So there should not be any laws against what people choose to do to themselves. But they also need to learn that it’s not fair to put a burden of care onto anybody else, either. So: monitor yourself, as a responsible human being, learning lessons about such things.

Gambling.

The same sort of response as above, under ‘Drugs’.

A lot of people seem to have lost sight of the purpose of the life experience. It’s not to hang around, getting into addictions and other trouble for nothing better to do - experiencing the results of the biblical adage, ‘Without a vision, the people perish’. It’s time to wake up, and get serious about life. And yes, with a sense of the joy of life. But in its proper context; as having a higher purpose than just experiencing life for life‘s sake.

Life is a school. The purpose is to graduate. Not get stuck in the lower grades.

---

I have other thoughts for the structure, and organising, of the New Society - the kingdom of Heaven on Earth. But this will do for now, to give a flavour of its construction, and essence. Essentially, it runs on Love. But tough love.

Abide by it, and all will be well. And in fact, will be very, very well.

...in the words of Eileen, one of the founders of this community. Who, towards the end of her life, realised that the voice of God within her was coming, not from outside of her self. But was her Self. Her Higher Self. Her true Self.

Coming to a theatre of operations near you.

I encourage you - as Eileen did - to claim your Christhood NOW.

As have I. Which gives me the audacity to make this announcement.

Knowing, that I and the Father are One.

And that All Is One.

So make YOUR choice.

(Hint: There really isn't any. If you're smart. And want to stop dawdling on the path. That's the only choice you have, in the end. Or, really, would want to have.)

* As for the matter of 'poverty' itself: It is due to a poverty of consciousness. There is no reason for people to have to go hungry in the midst of plenty. No good reason. That is merely a reflection of the inadequacy of the carrying culture.

I am not happy with people going hungry because of the system they are living under. And I say 'under', rather than 'in', because the word 'under' conveys more of the feeling of the oppression involved than merely 'in'.

Apparently it says somewhere in the Christian Bible that 'the poor will always be with us'. I say 'apparently', not only because I'm not precisely sure of that, or the English translation, but because I want to convey my misgivings about that document. There is too much evidence to indicate that 'it' - I speak now simply of the New Testament portion - is not a true rendition of historical fact. I won't go into that subject here. I just want to say, to this idea, of 'the poor always being with us': bollocks. It is simply a thought-form.

Which - must - change. To reflect current reality. Of the ability of the Earth to provide enough for all. Not in totally equal measure. But enough, that nobody need ever go hungry again.

It's time to wake up to our current reality, and stop letting our past dictate our future.

Including in matters of, like, war.

When you raise your consciousness level, you see things differently; from a different perspective. We need, now, to go up to a higher level.

Because it's time to.

And The Bell Continues Its Tolling

2011-12-02T16:18:00.015Z

My friend has died. Last night. In his sleep. Peacefully...

..and We the Living carry on. With our own weights to bear.

I bear the weight of the world. Consciously. And wilfully. And though I know that it is changing, for the better - despite many appearances - still I despair, sometimes. That its emergence from the chrysalis that it has been encased in will come about in time.

Interesting, this image, of a chrysalis, and emergence. Not only to describe my friend's condition, but in terms of a short article I have been prompted inwardly to write this week. - and I wonder, now, if my friend's transition phase, that he has been experiencing this week, in hospital, has had anything to do with it??...whatever; it has to do with musing on Change. And how difficult it can be.*

It has something to do with the subjects that I have written about in my last couple of blogs, regarding the threats going on to the American form of government - the Republic, "for which it stands," as every school child in the country recites 'religiously' every time the pledge of allegiance to the flag is invoked. And I have wondered, sometimes, if Obama's role in the destruction of that republic going on - on his watch - has been at least in part due to the fact that he did not grow up, in his younger, formative years, under that 'rule', rather in a foreign country, with a pledge of allegiance to that flag. But that's just conjecture, as an aside. And not a totally fair one, in itself, since many a person involved in the destruction of the American republic in our day did grow up in that environment, and culture.

But to continue. My concerns have been increased this week, with recent disturbing reports that the U.S. - that is, the U.S. government (there is a difference) - may well be gearing up for war with Iran; and that may well be why the various governing aspects that I have reported on have been put in place, in preparation for 'civil defense' measures needed in relation to foreign affairs, AND 'civil unrest' measures needed in relation to domestic affairs, with the populace beginning to rebel against their government. Their federal government. Under either the Democrats OR the Republicans; under the latter whom many of the threats to the status quo of the country were put in place. This being a scenario of domestic capture and control under both sides of the political divide in America. At least at the top. Which is controlled by the same gang of perpetrators; roughly to be called 'the bankers'. Aka the Illuminati. Who would dearly welcome a third World War, because it is under war conditions that control of the populace can be put in place, and increased. And the establishment of a New World Order is the name of the game, that these individuals and elite families have been engaged in for generations; to make the world safe for oligarchy.

But closer to home, my thoughts have been centred on how to help awaken my community - my nominally-described spiritual community - to the importance of this 'window of opportunity' time in human life, and of our help in bringing about positive change for the planet, in the way that we model an attitude towards 'community' life that can benefit the world at large. And that has to do with our attitude towards money. Hence the name of, and the focus of, my 'paper'.

Added herewith.

"MONEY

As the [Findhorn] Foundation looks to the future, what could we see?

We could still see danger. The danger of buying into the current economic system, at the very time that it is imploding. That danger could take the form of trying to increase our income in various ways. And one of those ways could be to go to a system that has already been floated here, for consideration: a system of paying people more than the base allowance to do/in certain jobs. A system of what is called differential pay.

I am against differential pay because then the Staff will become motivated by money - will be seduced into the same attitudes as that are in the ‘outer’ world: doing things for the money, rather than for the Service to the collective, to the extent of your abilities, and your individually valuable challenges.

The New Age will not be characterized by such considerations.

Yes, there will still be some sort of exchange/credit device, because there will not be enough of everything for everybody; and so people will earn credits for their services to the system, and can spend them any way they want to. But the key to the future state of humanity - a representation of the kingdom of heaven on earth - is the Service given to the system, out of gratitude to our Creator for life with meaning - NOT out of hankering for personal reward. There lie dragons, that way. As we have learned, painfully.

As for how to structure such a system: I think the model of a LETS system is a good one. You give credits to individuals for their services to you, and thereby log up debits to the system, that you need to keep in balance, or the operator of the system will drop you from the system. You don’t get something for nothing. (Thus we need to get rid of the mindset of ‘entitlements’, that is bedeviling the current economic system that is in place in much of the world. It cultivates the idea of getting something for nothing. Bad idea to encourage.) Treat the system right, and the system will treat you right. That is, things will be in balance; in harmony. Accumulate a lot of credits to the system, and you can spend them on special things that others have provided in their service to the system.

These units of credit can be called anything. I would recommend that they are not called ‘money’, with those connotations, of the old way of doing things - with interest-bearing money - that got humanity into such trouble, ultimately. (Trouble that was built in to the system from the very beginning, with its creation of debt by its very nature.) And different areas - ‘regions’, in the vernacular of those who were trying to set up a New World Order of their own, without regard to our spiritual nature, and essence - of the ‘kingdom’ could have their own units of credit, reflecting their own culture, and its mores. But with caution, not to allow it to get out of kilter too much from the overalll planetary culture. Or it might become a case of deja vu all over again, with different units assuming different levels of value, like the current money exchange system, and people starting to trade in them for its own sake, not for the benefit of the system, and the collective; with the differential simply reflecting local circumstances, and a good feedback device for the health of the local operation. But with the benefit of historical hindsight, we can steer the Good Ship Lollipop clear of the rocks and reefs that it could founder on, with undue care - even with the built-in concept of doing things ‘for the glory of God’. God, not being present - except within us - may well get forgotten, in the passage of time, and the dimming of cultural memory.

As we should have learned by now. Although such a system will certainly be a cut above the historical experience, which started with no such attitude as the base for the launch of this new state of affairs on planet Earth - this New Order of Things, starting out on a higher level of consciousness than in the past; and building from there. Building a kingdom to the glory of our humankind’s ultimate Creator - the Creator of our divine essence, within the highest carrying vehicle on this planet. Sparks of divinity; off the One Mind, or Field: the, and our, Essence.

As a poster said on a Comments thread on some blog or other that I read recently: “Order out of Chaos is a Masonic concept relating to the idea that we are all one divine Mind that has been splintered into billions of tiny pieces that are slowly recombining.”

The concept of Order out of Chaos is also one envisioned by the Illuminati, that body of terrestrial power brokers who would like to control the world for their own stunted ends. It is up to us more perfectly aligned sparks of divinity to make sure that they do not win the day - that we take the historical process that is unfolding itself up to its highest level, of Synthesis, and not leave it stranded on the way. For our sakes; and those of those such sparks who follow in our wake. Experiencing a degree of separation in the Creation, for learning, and growing, purposes. Until each of us graduates; back to the Source from which we came, for just such a growing, educative purpose.

‘Educare’ - to draw forth from. That which is inside. Just waiting to burst free from its enclosing seed, and experience a larger reality, through the process. To be transformed thereby. Like a butterfly from its caterpillar stage.

We really need to awaken, and be awakened, now, to our full potential, as butterflies - and beyond. So let’s be about it.

And the key to the process is for humanity to do away with money as a motivating force; and get in touch with that natural motivating force from within, that is struggling, now - so forcefully - to be free.

To break out from its encapsulating stage. And fly.

Away.

Home."

As my friend's soul is doing as we speak.

And as we, as individual sparks of divinity -'spiritual beings having a human experience' - will do, when our individual time is finished here.

Which still has a ways to go, yet.

As we now help see humanity through its dark days yet ahead. As it gets its bearings; its sense of its new identity. And struggles to free itself from the cocoon that its erstwhile masters have attempted to secure it in.

For their purposes.

Which are similar to those referred to in the poem by Scotland's folk hero, Robert Burns, when he wrote about 'best-laid plans'. That can oft go awry.

May we rise to this occasion. Within ourselves. As we are, right now.

And make sure that the process is not terminated terribly, midway.

---

P.S. And as for the factor of how many Christians are urging on this terrible scenario that could well lead to World War III - because of a misguided belief in its 'rightness' - I shall leave comment aside for now. Except to register my horror, and disapproval.
No true God would be 'for' such an appalling scenario.
Wake up, those of you who have been mesmerized by this untruth. You are being had, by the works of Man. Not God.

* N.B. I decided to look up the word 'chrysalis' in my dictionary, to check its precise definition; and I discovered something - a word - that I never knew before. The word was, is, 'obtect'. First definition for chrysalis "The obtect pupa for a moth or butterfly." Obtect?? Definition: "adj. (of a pupa) encased in a hardened secretion so that the wings, legs, etc. are held immovably to the body, as in butterflies." What an interesting word, and meaning. And how we must feel obtected, sometimes, in our forms, our bodies; the vehicle for incarnation on this planet. And is my friend's spirit feeling like a butterfly, right now, with metaphorical wings outstretched??...

Disturbing Trends - but Necessary??

2011-11-30T22:55:00.003Z

At a time when I am trying to get my community (what has been called 'the Essene community of the New Age') to (a) become aware of the need for humanity to think outside of the box and move to a moneyless system,* and help bring about that more desirable state of affairs; and (b) do so by recognising our collective need to move up in our Christ consciousness to a level in which to anchor the new, I note some very disturbing trends. On the same day - today - I came across four news stories out of my home country that, shall we say, do not augur well.

The first had to do with an Executive Order that Obama** was going to, and subsequently did, sign into being (I hesitate to say 'sign into law' because that's part of the problem) that affected the outcome of the congressional vote on what is called Obamacare. It had to do with a promise - made to secure some necessary votes for the bill itself - to eliminate the use of federal funds for abortions. The upshot of the process was that it is not going to be able to deliver the goods; which suspicious parties in the matter said was going to be the case. The details don't matter; the issue around 'executive orders' - independent of the representatives of The People, in the legislative branch of government - is what matters. Which brings us to

The second story, being about another E.O. that created/creates a 'Rural Council' in the U.S., which curiously has heads of major federal government bodies on it; the Dept. of Homeland Security and so forth and so on and on. The upshot: this is a central planning agency, run out of the executive branch of government (the presidency), that can control all aspects of life in the 'rural' country; including telling farmers what they can grow and what not, what they can use water for and what not, etc etc. In short: It is an application of what is called Agenda 21, wherein the UN can take over centralized control of the world's resources, and regulate people to within an inch of their lives. And to verify that this isn't just 'conspiracy theory', we come to

The third story, which reports that both houses of Congress just passed legislation that allows the Administration (the executive branch of government) to bring the military into the domestic sphere if the president or his minions in that branch of government merely declare someone to be a 'terrorist'. And to indicate how 'liberal' that definition can be, we come to

The fourth and last story, wherein it is reported that anyone who stocks up a minimum of 7 days of food 'illegally' can be considered a potential terrorist - in concert with legislation to make of the American mainland a 'war zone', whereby mere citizens, resisting in various ways the takeover, can become 'enemy combatants', and be carted off to imprisonment (and even outside the country) without due process of law.***

I would like to think that I was making this all up. But I am not.

Our erstwhile Masters are moving stealthily, steadily, consistently now, to set up conditions for (a) an 'incident', in order to (b) invoke wartime laws in the U.S. allowing the executive to declare Martial Law, including the suspending of the Constitution.

What TPTB have been striving for for years. Decades. Even longer. In order to bring the U.S. under the control of their New World Order, and the imposition of a police state, covering the whole world. -

Which, now, drives the civilizational process up to the global level. Which, now, allows for a global response to their best-laid plans. And the moving, now, into the final, Synthesis stage of that process - unbeknownst to them: the enthronement of the kingdom of heaven on earth.

Or - short of the final stage: its opposite.

What they have been planning, scheming for. Not realising that they have been used, in the larger scheme of things, to bring the whole exercise to a head.

The exercise in allowing Man free will.

In part for him to see, and learn, what happens when you separate yourself from your Source.

You wander in the wilderness of your making. Trying to use the power of an incipient God without the wisdom to go with it. Until you realise that you are lost. Terribly lost. And decide, then - of your own free will - to return to the house of your Father.

Who has been waiting patiently for your return. And brings out the fatted calf upon that occasion.

These errant souls have had their day in the sun. It's now time for The Return.

And souls like me are here to help expedite that return.

But even I - who understand the purpose for it all - have to shake my head sometimes, at the cruelty, and greed, of such lost souls, and their lack of awareness.

But I, and we, also face our learning edge, in the matter. To wit:

Would we have it any other way?

Would we force souls to be 'good'?

And the answer - after all is said and done?

An understanding No.

A sometimes begrudging No, for the insolence of such wayward souls, and the damage wreaked on other humans, and the Earth (a live being in its own right).

But also the ultimate understanding, that that quality is inside of us as well.

For We Are All One.

And we have promises to keep. And miles to go before we sleep. And miles to go before we sleep.

* because of various signs of the times. Not only the imminent collapse of the western monetary system, but such harbingers of the need for such a collapse as a number of articles in this past Sunday's London Times; among them such headers as: 'Sick bring own nurses into NHS wards' (the UK health system is in dire need of medical attention, as it can't keep up any decent level of cleaning standards & nursing care in its hospitals, from cost-cutting exercises and hubristic training attitudes); 'Drinks firms 'too close' to health bosses' (ie, the control of government oversight groups & committees by the very corporate entities that they are supposed to regulate); 'Investors must rein in bosses' soaring pay' (we all know what that story is about: CEOs are gobbling up huge pay packets while the system is sinking, and us mere peasants are hurting).

** I do not call him President, because there is considerable evidence that he is not, and was never, eligible for that particular office; which is also part of the problem these days, when the 'rule of law' is being subverted left, right and centre.

*** And speaking of food: part of this whole process has been the surreptitious control of the food supply, whereby Monsanto is trying, in cahoots with their buddies in government, to impose its 'terminator genes' on the world populace, whereby farmers will have to buy their seeds from a centralized source, and thus be under the total control of our Overlords.
It's also part and parcel of the move, via the Codex Alimentarius project, to control the food supplement industry, so that people will not be able to have much of an escape from the centrally controlled food sources. This is all part of the Agenda 21 project, for population control, and culling. Getting rid of millions of people, who are 'surplus to requirements' of the NWO. Also known to our erstwhile Masters as 'useless eaters'.

The Dying - And Re-igniting - of the Light

2011-11-27T21:21:00.005Z

A friend of mine is dying of cancer. Not a close friend; but a friend nevertheless. And his Facebook page is asking for comments on his birthday at the same time.

What does one say, at a time like this...

Most of his other Friends give general comments of 'sending healing energy your way', and peace and love and support. One of his Friends 'tells it like it is', and tells him that, now that hope has gone (a 'Hail Mary' operation didn't manage to position a feeding tube into his stomach accurately, and next steps are being considered. One suspects the worst, and that his doctors know that; and this sober-eyed Friend knows that too), he should accept that this life is over for him, and rejoice that he is returning to Oneness, from which we have all come.

Well; yes. And. And...

Questions. Has everything possible been done. Has there been anything left out of the equation, of life on one side and death on the other; including his own thoughts on the subject. His sense of readiness to move on. Has he wrapped up this lifetime properly...

I make some general comment, too. And realize that I am hesitant to say what I might have said, had I been as honest as that other Friend, who gave him the benefit of his or her thinking on the subject, of life and What's it all about, Alfie, and left him to have to deal with that cosmic philosophy at this particular time. I think I might have said something like, 'May all be as highly and as best as it can be". Which I wish for humanity as a whole, too. But does one really want to hear such a thought, at a time like this, in one's life, approaching possible extinction??

Would I want to hear such a thing when my turn comes to head back to the barn?

I think so. But we'll see, when that time comes for me.*

But I have another confession to make, besides thinking of such stray thoughts at a time like this, in the closing-down lifeline of a friend.

I'm angry. Renewed anger, at the blockage of various treatments for cancer that has occurred in western medicine, because of what can - with complete justification, in my considered opinion - be called the medical-pharmaceutical complex. Or more accurately: the medical-pharmaceutical-government complex. All occasioned by one factor in life: the profit motive, of the interest-bearing money system.** But even that isn't the major anger that I am feeling at this time. I have to confess that most of my emotional body is involved in another subject; that the mention of the 'government' role in this particular disgraceful state of affairs alludes to. And that is - at the same temporal time as the approaching death of a friend - the hijacking of the American form of government - and of that specific Republic - that is going on.

Has been going on. But is particularly going on, under the current president of the United States; whom there is every good reason to believe is a usurper.

And that subject REALLY makes me angry.

My anger towards that activity is so deep that it makes me feel as though I might well have been one of the Founding Fathers of the American experiment in self-government; it is as though it is a personal insult.

And even more. It is as though I identify so strongly with the Christ consciousness within me - the energy that helped raise that nation up, to do a major job of consciousness-raising in the world (developing an attitude of personal/self-responsibility, under neither king nor church, nor other despot) - that it is even more of an insult than just having been previously one of the Founding Fathers could be an explanation for. I am so incensed by what is going on in that arena of human activity that it is as though 'they' are hijacking MY country. My highest dream for humanity.

What am I talking about, specifically.

I am talking specifically about some articles in the current issue (well, at least in the mail over to the UK) of a bi-weekly magazine called The New American.***

Item; with the header 'Obama Just 'Can't Wait' to be King: "Expressing his frustration with Congress' failure to pass his American Jobs Act and other initiatives, Obama told a Nevada audience on October 24: 'We can't wait for an increasingly dysfunctional Congress to do its job. Where they won't act, I will.' [Oh-oh...]

"Put simply, Obama's chosen means of circumventing the legislative process is to issue executive orders and other directives - at least one per week for the remainder of the year, aides said...The President is supposed to execute the law, not legislate..." (emphasis in original)

Item: headed 'TSA Stages Highway Searches': "First it was airports. Then it was bus and train stations. Now, under the Transportation Security Administration's Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response (VIPR) program, even the highways aren't safe from the TSA's prying eyes and probing fingers...

"The searches, of course, are a clear violation of the Fourth Amendment, which requires government agents to obtain a warrant based 'upon probable cause' prior to searching a person's 'houses, papers, and effects.' No warrants had been issued; and none of the trucks, buses, drivers, or passengers was suspected of any wrongdoing..."

Item, headed 'Court Dismissal of Arizona's Suit Against the Federal Government': "It is but the latest chapter in a story that Arizonans know all too well: the federal government ignores its constitutional and statutory duty to secure the border..."

I'll cut to the chase here. What is going on in America is the executive branch's arrogation of power over The People - and the Congress's reluctance to rein the executive in. Why the latter aspect of what's going on? Because both political parties are in on the attempted change of government in America; want more power from their particular political perspective.

It all goes way back, but was heightened under Bush W., and is being carried on under Obama, and is all taking place because of the set-up War on Terror, putting the federal government on an 'emergency powers' footing; under which Obama can declare in his actions the same declaration that Hitler made in the rise of Nazism, that: "I am the law."

The hell you are. And there's every good reason to believe that you're not eligible for that particular position to boot.

The particular position of the presidency of the United States of America. An honored and honorable, special position; being besmirched by Men on a Mission. The Mission: to take down the United States and its Constitution, in order to blend it into a North American Union (NAU), one region of a number, being craftily developed to usher in the power elite's New World Order; whereby they plan on controlling humanity to within an inch of their little lives, as serfs to the all-powerful State.

Not on my watch you won't, gang.

Not with My people.

The American federal government is running rampant, with the Executive branch becoming a law unto itself. It is an unseemly state of affairs. And it must stop.

I know how to stop it. But it will take the people of the Unites States to start taking action like many peoples around the world are these days, to throw off their oppressive regimes, and claim their day in the sun - claim their self-responsibility; just as happened in the American Revolution against the power of the King of England to reign over them.

It is deja vu all over again.

My scenario? For The People, Assembled to stage a March on Washington, and demand that the man who calls himself Barack Hussein Obama+ either release all his bona fides (and explain the apparent forgery of both the short-form and long-form birth certificates that he has authorised to be released; also to explain a purloined Social Security number that he has used and is using; and the list of anomalies goes on, about this mystery person lifted up to the highest office in the land) or vacate the office forthwith; with The People then to declare an Officer of The People (as allowed for in the Constitution) to occupy the office in an interregnum, until new elections can be held 'within a time certain' (say 90 days); said Officer to dissolve Congress, for not exercising its constitutional duty in this matter, of the takeover of the executive branch of government on its watch, and also to clean the Augean stables of the executive branch, from its having been filled with the likes of representatives of the corporate world, who have taken over the federal agencies that are supposed to have been regulating their activities.

What a corrupt institution this has become, the federal government of the United States of America.

Well; no more.

The game is over.

Hopefully, we have learned our lessons, about needing to take responsibility for ourselves.

In any event: It's time to move on. And usher in a new day under the sun.

Wherein we become as One.

Just like the Friend of my friend, dying of cancer, told him to prepare for. And accept.

Ready or not.

But to become ready.

Because it was his next step.

As this one is ours.

Before we die of the cancer that has been eating at us, for a long time.

Long enough, now.

In forced separation from our Source.

To learn lessons.

And then move on.

The stronger - more aware; of Self, and each Other - for the experience.

Knowing - finally really getting - that there is, in point of actual fact, no Other.

That We Are All One.

And All Is One.

And therefore, 'we' never need to send to know for whom the bell tolls.

* Personally I hope someone reads aloud the XVIIth Meditation of John Donne, 'Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions'. That's pretty close to my philosophy of life.

** Eliminate the profit motive, and you eliminate all manner of ills in society; and we can get to a more true reflection of the kingdom of Heaven on Earth. But that's a line of thought that I don't want to go down at this time. I have another one I want to harp on. Read on.

*** It is the magazine of a political information organisation called the John Birch Society; which has the reputation of being a 'far-right' organisation, but which label is misleading, leading some 'leftists' to consider it 'fascist', when it is in reality the antithesis of any 'ism', except Americanism. 'Birchers' believe in 'less government, more responsibility, and, with God's help, a better world'. Fascists - like their totalitarian partners, the socialists/communists over on the Left - believe in big government, running the whole show. For the better good of humanity, of course. Although they cannot both be right, in that belief. And in fact, neither of those extremes is. But to continue with this particular thread.

What a deceptive enterprise this has been...

My Message to OWS/Occupy Together

2011-11-08T15:44:00.004Z

(1)
OWS: 'Occupy Wall Street to Obama: Don't Be Big Banks' Puppet; No Immunity Deal for Crooks' (5/11)

kibitzer November 6

Go for real change, OWS. Build on your non-violent base, and refusal to be painted into a simple left-wing box; ie, expecting to find a solution on the same level as the problem.

Now that the historical process has gone global, humanity can enthrone their better natures. The answer to the current dilemma - and to its systemic roots - is to do away with interest-bearing money altogether. (We don't REALLY want the moneychangers running the world, do we??)

All people need, to give to a system of their time and labor, is a motive. The profit motive is one; and its concomitant reward in personal aggrandizement. But it's only one motive; and a relatively rudimentary one at that. Hardly befitting of a mature race of beings, with, now, a good level of technology, capable of providing enough, in goods and services, for all, with a proper husbanding of resources.

And the socialist model is also one, of producing 'for use, not for profit'. And it would seem to be a more sensible system, especially now, with the capitalist system's need for constant growth placing such a terrible burden on the planet's resources, and causing so much environmental havoc, with its insatiable need for markets and such, like a bicycler pedaling furiously in order to keep upright. But 'been there; done that': the socialist system has been found wanting every place it has been tried. Why?

Because it has been wedded to a command and control system of governance - organization, and power wielding, from the top down. Not the bottom up; from The People. And not with a sufficient take on the 'human nature thing'. Treating the human being merely as a 'clever mammal' (or worse: as a 'killer ape', and so needing to be controlled strenuously).

I've got a better idea. How about treating us humans as 'spiritual beings having a human experience'. And thus, with a higher part of our natures, just waiting to be harnessed, to produce a system wherein The People share their goods and services - and give of their best in the process - out of a higher motive for doing. Out of the highest there is: out of gratitude to their Creator for life with meaning. So that the system runs on, in a word: Love.

Oh! - but that would require...what. Believing in a religion? No. Just accepting our fundamental nature, as - in an expression - 'not of this world'. 'This world' being just one realm, one dimension, of possibly many; as our modern-day scientists are telling us, about 'the nature of reality' - as accurately as they can, at least, with their current set of instruments, and level of deductive reasoning.

I'm not asking anybody to 'believe' in anything. I'm asking everybody to wake up, and realize that we have been involved in a play, wherein 'we' take on many parts - now a prince, now a pauper; now male, now female; now of one race or nationality or religion, now another - in order to...what.

To grow up. In wisdom, and compassion. And now we're ready for graduate school; on lovely old, beleaguered old, planet Earth. Now asking of us our best.

It's a crowning moment. Let's take it. And good on you, OWS, for helping us do so. [get there]

[N.B. This site has a very uncompromising take on a socialistic model - not just a system without money, and everything held in common, but work being purely voluntary.]

kibitzer 7/11

Thank you, Gus, for setting up this forum. These are important questions, that need to be considered, especially with the straits that the world is in these days. Consideration of alternatives is a legitimate exercise.

My two cents' worth. (1) I see the society of the future as having tokens representing value - 'it' can even be called money; just not in the classical definition, ie, of interest-bearing money. Rather, more like a LETS system - for services rendered to the system; so that individuals can accumulate those tokens towards 'purchase' of things that by their nature are not available to everybody; eg, a beachfront property in Southern California*. (Although I like your idea of time sharing; in some of these sorts of situations.) People can spend their tokens any way they wish to. But this requires them to give service for services rendered to them in return. The system runs on Love; but practical Love. (Loafers need not apply.) And speaking of:

(2) Such a system can't/won't take place in a moral vacuum. The trouble with classical socialism is that it doesn't provide any real reason for people to be 'good'. In its rejection of 'religion' it throws the baby out with the bathwater. The reason why it will/could work is by offering a motive other than/greater than the current one of profit. Just offering a feel-good reason - wouldn't it be nice if people were nice to each other, and would do all things for each other - doesn't cut it. Either there is a purpose to the whole shebang of life, or there is not. If there is not - ie, nothing to life beyond just in and for itself only - then nothing really matters anyway, and we are simply wasting our time discussing such what-ifs. (The killer ape will, eventually, rule, in that vacuum.) If there is, however, then certain things follow. It follows, for one thing, that we have a legitimate, and intelligent, and powerful, motive for human behavior and activity; and thus the system will - could - work on the definitive motive of gratitude to our Creator for life with meaning. On, in a word: Love.

Now THAT sort of society could - would - work. Absent that real reason for being - that there is a Plan in and Purpose to life, beyond just a state of human comfort - I really wouldn't hold out much hope for your proposed society. That one really would be Utopian - ie, not "viable". And I don't wish you well on the waste of time devoted to its promulgation. Except as a point of consideration, in getting to the real thing - the true Synthesis of the historical process that humanity has been engaged in. Which is just waiting for us to get to it.

So let's get to it. [As in: enough beating around the burning bush.]

[* which had been referenced in his reply to a poster, as a question regarding how to deal with such things]

A few points, especially regarding (2) above.

+ TINA - There Is No Alternative - is not alive and well any longer. So the greedy money grubbers - worshipping at the altar of Mammon - can just put their smirks away.

+ I can't emphasise enough what key element the 'alternative' - the change - requires: a raising of consciousness, beyond the current level of consciousness. Gus, and others advocating a socialistic model, seem to think that the prospect of a cushy life is reason enough for it to work. They seem not to be fully aware of the extent of 'human nature' in any such a model, sans a real reason for being. This attitude seems to be due to an educational system that has inculcated the idea in its students that most things are essentially 'nurture' in nature - environmentally induced and encoded. Thus the feminist belief that there is no real difference in the sexes; and thus the Marxist-Leninist belief in The New Soviet Man. If only. (I'll return to this matter of our 'human nature', and its full extent, in a moment.) Somewhat similar to this point, but taking it a step further:

+ I can't emphasise enough how important a full, complete understanding of 'life' is to a successful transformation into a new model of society on Earth.
I repeat: Either there is a 'God' - something more than Man; a transcendent aspect to Man - or there is not. If there is not, then nothing really matters anyway, and one might as well live exclusively for oneself (& one's family) - independent of the effect of that pursuit on others - as not; for the end of the closed system of life can, then, as easily be seen as that as anything else, a presumed evolutionary advantage to a certain degree of cooperation, or whatever. If there is, however, then certain things follow. It follows, for one area of consideration, that there is Plan in and Purpose to the life experience - and it would behoove us to find out what that Plan and Purpose package is. That's number one. And number two: If there is, then we need to stop being silly - caught up in, mesmerized by, the play we are in - have created, to amuse ourselves; like a video game - and start 'acting' as if it were indeed true. Not as if it were not, as we are doing at present. And have done, for long enough.

In 1976 - the year I joined a spiritual community; to try to further the evolution of consciousness on this planet as best I could (and to be with like-minded others in the process) - Zecharia Sitchin had his first book on the origins of civilization on the planet published. It was - is - called 'The 12th Planet', and it chronicled, from the records left behind by the civilization we know as Sumer, the story of our beginnings as Homo sapiens.* It was the Missing Link, for me, and for science - if 'they' had bothered checking it out. But 'they' were too involved in playing their parts in the human drama, to understand that that was all that they were doing. We have suffered enough, from 'their' oversight.**

It is the missing piece to our story on this planet. We had already known about the phenomenon we call reincarnation - and have added immensely to that knowledge in the years since I personally first came across it in depth, in my research on such matters in the New York Public Library in 1955-56. But we hadn't known, except for the account in Genesis in the Old Testament - which seems rather fairytale-like - of our human origins. How did our souls - our individuated sparks of Divinity, growing in consciousness through lifetimes after lifetimes (and accruing and discharging karma in the process) - get encased in these bodies that we inhabit for a time, on this material level of existence?? Yes, we COULD have started as one-celled organisms, and worked our way up through all the kingdoms of Nature, to this particular state of individuation; but there was something tantalizing in the Genesis account of our origins, that leaped us from such lowly beginnings, to the form we are in now. Yes, the model has aspects of being a 'clever mammal' - and yes, has the capacity, the potential, of being a 'killer ape'. But it was obvious that we were more, much more, than that...

I won't belabour the point. I am just saying that, left alone with our material vehicle, and having lost contact with our transcendent aspect, we could, and will, do terrible things, as we play the parts of territorial apes - but always with that other consciousness lurking in the background of our being; telling us - nagging us - that what we are doing, more often than not, is wrong.

It's time to let that part of our makeup - our 'human nature' - come to the fore, and take over. Acknowledging our true Source.

That we come, not only from the earth, and from the stars. But beyond.

---

* The story of that unfolding, in a nutshell, in Sitchin's own words:
"I was a schoolboy, privileged to study the Bible in its original language, Hebrew. We reached the story of the Great Flood in the book of Genesis, where it is stated that it was at that time that the Nefilim were upon the Earth, who went on to marry the daughters of Man. The teacher explained that the story speaks of giants who were then upon the Earth. I raised my hand and pointed out that the word literally meant those who have descended, who have come down (in the context) from the heavens to Earth. For that, instead of being complimented, I was reprimanded. 'You don't question the Bible!' the teacher roared..."
Ah. We have been fighting that battle for a long time. The battle with our teachers; who are the experts, and who are we, the pupils, to question them???
Vanity. It will kill us yet.
(Hopefully not.)

** 'They', of course, are just 'us', playing a different part. A different facet of 'us'. 'We' being one another. Over and over. Until 'we' get, that We Are One. And become One again, with our Source.
Which We already Are. The little 'we' just has a ways to go, yet.
But 'we' are getting there...

On Christianity

2011-11-04T17:18:00.004Z

Some reflections on this subject triggered by a blog on a 'liberal' billboard apparently mistakingly quoting Jefferson on the subject of Christianity. (Who, it would appear from the historical record, 'believed' in the moral precepts of 'Christ', but not the magical bits of the story; going so far as to cut-and-paste his own, 'Jefferson Bible'.)

Godfather Politics: 'Atheist Group Misquotes Jefferson on Billboard' - Da Tagliare 2/11

kibitzer3 3/11 [my comment to Brama]

"The scriptures" have not stood the test of centuries, Brama. When I started studying this matter seriously over 50 years ago - "this matter" of Christianity in particular and religions in general - I came across considerable research pointing to weaknesses in all the 'stories'. But the average person doesn't read research books. The carrying culture carries the day, all too often. A shame. That attitude needs to change. That is what The Enlightenment was supposed to be all about: science and reason would prevail. As it should. And I don't refer to dogmatic science. That is as bad as the Catholic Church trying to hold back the impulse to Truth (about the workings of the solar system). Which should be behind all of our human actions. And as it works its way through the stonework of many accepted beliefs, it will uncover an ultimate Truth: well expressed by a son of the Catholic Church, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, in his observation that "we are spiritual beings having a human experience". That truth, that awareness, we can ALL rally around. Or should. The times cry out for that common understanding, of what life is all about. All else is secondary, or man-made.

[my 2nd reply (ie, after my initial comment) to Brama] 3/11

I mean no disrespect, Brama. As a seeker of truth, I keep an open mind, and I see that you have read a fair amount in this matter, and I fully support those who don't take a set of beliefs purely on face value. In that spirit, I encourage you to inspect your premises further regarding the NT - and the OT also, for that matter; but for right now, we're talking about the truth, or not, of the NT, as an historical record of actual events. And a true seeker of truth will soon find that there is considerable evidence that the NT is a mishmash of material that bears little resemblance to historical truth. Or Truth itself.

For example. In our day and age, we have had the benefit of considerable evidence for the truth of reincarnation, ie, our souls experience lifetimes until we 'get it right' - clear our karma, so that we can move on in the higher realms. I fully accept the Case for a Creator, based on hard evidence; and that evidence would lead one to conclude, logically, that behind the whole shebang of life is a Plan, and Purpose; and that all could logically lead one to conclude that the best descriptive quality to give to what is behind all that would be, in a word, Love. All deductible, based on evidence. [deducible]

Religions are about beliefs. We need to move beyond beliefs, into the realm of facts. And the truth shall set us free.

Incidentally, as to your comment about Pierre Teilhard de Chardin: his wise observations led him to make this comment as well: "Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides, and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love, and then, for a second time in the history of the world, humanity will have discovered fire." It was in 1934 that he was inspired to write this. He wrote it for our day and age. We are about to ignite the world with the fire of Love; those energies to be harnessed to show ourselves what magic we can perform in the name of Truth - the Truth that we can all believe in, regardless of our various religions and political ideologies. It's a grand time to be alive, and bear witness to this conflagration in the human heart; leaving the old gods behind.

[my reply to Mark] 3/11

With all due respect for your reading of the historical process, Mark, I read that record a different way. I read it as having brought us (actually, where we have brought ourselves; and I DO mean 'us') to the point in time where and when we can leave the old forms - of all kinds - behind, and create a society wherein we share our goods and services with one [an]other, and give of our best in the process, out of gratitude to our Creator for life with meaning (see my reply to Brama above). Thus we are at a peak point of our process, of human life on Earth; learning to live in and by Love. And anyone who has really studied history could well know this.

Incidentally, the name 'kibitzer' really doesn't have to do with being a deceiver. It has to do with lobbing in sometimes unwanted advice - what is sometimes taken as 'unwanted'. Aka [known as] a bit of a troublemaker, at times. Somebody who stirs up the pot. Anyway, that is my tongue-in-cheek take on it, and what I mean by its use. [unasked for advice]

[my 3rd reply to Brama] 4/11

First of all, re my 'a mishmash of material' comment:

What the world knows as ‘Christianity’ has been an elaborate con job, a hoax apparently mostly on the part of Saul of Tarsus. (Who may also have been the Jewish historian Josephus, according to the research of one Ralph Ellis, correlating the curious similarities between their two life stories. But that’s another story.) It was based on a feature of the day, regarding itinerant preachers (called presbyters), who told elaborate and fanciful tales of nonsense to the gullible, for a livelihood. Examples in the record. There WAS an historical figure at the time, that the later Christian church was based on; but he apparently had very little resemblance to the image worshipped by later 'believers'.

Read the likes of Ralph Ellis and Tony Bushby, in our day. (As to the latter: his ‘The Bible Fraud’, ‘The Secret in the Bible’, and ‘The Crucifixion of Truth’; the first of which contains the quote, from Pope Leo X: “How well we know what a profitable superstition this fable of Christ has been for us”.) In the day of my early research into the murky origins of this religion, it was the work in particular of some German scholars, whose research into the literature led them to the same conclusion as these more modern-day researchers: that ‘Christianity’ was based on various fables of the time, about fertility gods (like Tammuz), and such; being buried in a tomb (of the earth) for three days, and then resurrecting; etc etc.

As a kibitzer, I’m an irritant to the people concentrating on playing the game (of illusory reality) right in front of their eyes. ‘My mind’s made up - don’t confuse me with the facts.’ But we need to be confused - confounded - with the facts. Life needs to move on, to a proper conclusion, in celebration of the Most High - of our Source, Who gave us the wherewithal in which to move and live and have our separate being - ie, the realm of free will - in order ultimately to choose to return to the house of our Father.

At which point we become One [fully] again with that loving Source. Loving, and as you say: Holy.

N.B. On this subject: Many ears ago now I spent some hours in a bookshop in London (Covent Garden) reading a book about Paul, particularly how he 'went off to Arabia' and came back with his 'take' on the 'Jesus' story. I don't recall what caused him to be so inspired in the first place. And I know, from some books on the Essenes, that he was in basic conflict with the brother of Jesus about all this. But that's all another story, too.

And the drama continues...

2011-11-01T22:42:00.012Z

People, people...You still have your eyes so glued to what is going on on the stage of life that you can't see it for what it is; that it is a drama, taking place on a stage. A very real-looking stage, but a stage nevertheless. And you are so caught up in your current parts that you can't see, and feel, that that is all that they are: current parts, in this ongoing drama, taking place on planet Earth. Where people have been killing people, and hurting 'others', long enough. For lack of understanding what the play is all about. Well, it's time to break the spell, and see things clearly for what they are. Including our - seemingly - separate selves.

I have worked up a couple of one-page essays, or blogs, on this subject. The first:

We Are One Another

The main thing we need to look at in our time is who we are in relation to each other. We Are One Another. We are playing parts, over and over again, until we ‘get it right’ - work out our karma towards each other, and then move on. Thus, today’s prince is tomorrow’s pauper, and so on; lifetime after lifetime.

Which brings up the concept of a Plan. Which brings up also the concept of a Purpose.

Consider. Either there is a ‘God’ - something more than Man - or there is not. If there is not, then nothing really matters anyway, and one might as well live exclusively for oneself, independent of the effect of that pursuit on others, as not; for the end of the closed system of life could, then, as easily be seen as that as anything else, a presumed evolutionary advantage in working in cooperation with others, or whatever. If there is, however, then certain things follow. Among them are the above-named qualities: Plan in and Purpose to life. Which gives it ultimate meaning.

We are now faced with this fact, and ultimate decision. My message to humanity:

You are living life as if there were no God - nothing more than Man. This is silly. You are living a lie. We need to start living on this lovely but beleaguered planet as if there were something more than Man. As there is plenty of evidence to attest to. In which case, we can have - make - a major change in how we live our lives. A major change in the form of our society; which we call our ‘economies’. And the key change in that evolutionary process is to do away with money.

At least, money as we have known it; for long enough. For too long, now, considering what is going in our day and age, when we are experiencing, in spades, the truth of the observation that capitalism contains within itself the seeds of its own destruction. Its ‘internal contradictions,’ in the words and tenets of Karl Marx. Who had a pretty good ‘take’ on the this matter, of economics and social structures. He just didn’t carry his analysis of civilizational development far enough, is all; stopped short of the real capstone to the pyramid of human endeavour.

Which is the kingdom of heaven on Earth. Just waiting in the wings, for us to inherit it.

What will that take? Recognition. Of the time. And of our true, to say higher, selves. Yes, we have, as part of our natures, that of being a ‘clever mammal’. And we are more, much more, than that. As identified nicely in the expression: ‘We are spiritual beings having a human experience.’

I am not happy that people are not living up to their potential. Come on, people. We have work to do, to transform this planet into a Garden of Eden; where we recognise who and what we truly are. Have that knowledge; and act accordingly.

---

So what do we do now, practically? No. 2:

WHAT NOW

What now. It’s very simple. ‘It’ - our direction - is based on the premise that life has Purpose and that Purpose is Good. That life has meaning, beyond just in and for itself only. And therein you have the only motive you need for people to share their goods and services with one another, and give of their best in doing so: out of gratitude to their Creator for life with meaning.

Is there any evidence for the validity of this premise? Indeed there is. Not only in the intimations of a spiritual nature over the centuries in individuals’ experiences, but in the highly evidential reports of such as NDEs and OBEs - proving, or at least indicating, that there is a component of Mind separate from the brain - and especially in people’s (including children) experiences of the truth of what is called reincarnation: people’s awarenesses of previous lives, that some part of them has experienced. And thus the proof of Plan in and Purpose to the life experience. There is intrinsically in that phenomenon a Plan; and the Purpose can easily be inferred: for the individuals to grow in consciousness from their experiences, and choices. Ultimately, I would submit, to ‘grow’ back into Oneness; to Unity; the better for the experience. Better in the sense of having experienced its opposite, of autonomy.

He who has ears to hear, let him hear. And let’s get to work, to bring a better world into being. A world predicated on the premise that we are all One. Coming back into our basic Oneness from our sojourn in separation. In individuation. In exploring Choice.

In terms of the classic story: the Prodigal Son, returning to the house of his Father. A mighty cause for celebration. And then taking their next steps, together, as a united entity.

And by entering into this New Order of the Ages - which entails, and requires, the giving up of money as it has been known, with its concomitant motivating force of the making of something called a profit - we leave the lower grades of the school of life behind, and head more singlemindedly towards graduation. Which is, after all, the point of the exercise.

Not the whole point. Obviously, part of the point is the experience itself, and the richness of awareness to be gained in the classroom. But at some point in the individuated consciousness that is the present You, that proves to be mere illusion; essentially, a distraction. At which point, of gained consciousness, the only thing that will be of true satisfaction is the returning Home; and the leaving of the realm of play-acting behind.

For the real, essential Thing-in-Itself.

Not the Creation. But the Creator; and Oneness with the All That Is. In a permanent state of Bliss. Where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt.

---

I read the work of some 'futurists', who seem to be enamoured of the idea of 'immortality' - of material-level longevity. That is not to understand the nature of the exercise. The exercise is to grow in consciousness; and then move on. Not stay stuck in the cloak of skin, that currently houses us. It is simply that in which we currently move and live and have our being. It is our home away from home. Earth herself is our home away from home.

It's time to break the spell, and return to our true home; having done our home work. And thereby having grown back into Unity, from separation.

Been there. Done that. Ultimately unsatisfying. Come on, folks. Let's get with the programme. We've caused ourselves enough pain, to last a lifetime. Or to say: lifetimes. On the wheel of rebirth. It's time to get off it. Not get off on it.

Tempus fugit.

Music To My Ears

2011-10-29T16:54:00.001+01:00

Over half a century ago, after having left university to start a serious search for answers to and about life, I was in the Hollywood Bowl one evening, listening to a classical music concert under the stars, when I got thinking about the favelas in Rio, which were in the news at the time, for whatever reason. There was such a disconnection between those two worlds; my living such a rich-environment life in southern California, and the poor in the rickety favela ‘homes’ climbing up the hillsides in that distant country, and city. But instantly, through the music - too, reaching for the heavens - I realized the connection between our worlds.

Human culture. Principally, music.

An international language. If not the international language.

It also reminded me of my somewhat painful attempts to engage in the world of music, when my mother, unbeknownst to me, organized for me to learn how to play a musical instrument. Somehow ‘it’ turned out to be the clarinet; and I played it dutifully from then - I was in about the fifth grade at the time - through junior high, when I gave it up upon entering high school, and being too involved in other things to continue with it. I was not a bad clarinet player - I succeeded in becoming first chair in my junior high school orchestra - but it, simply, wasn’t my cup of tea. I was not a natural. Now basketball; that was a different story...

But back to this story. Sitting there in the open air, being bathed in the notes and harmonies of a first-class orchestra, I realised the value of music in bringing us humans together, in common cause, of creating a better world together than the one we were living in. There were far too many in poverty around the world. There was something wrong with The System; and I would find myself, some years later, finally realising - really getting - what that was. It was money. Specifically, interest-bearing money.

This was not the way to make music together, I thought. We need to get our act together better, I thought further. Not, that it would be nice if we did. But that we needed to. It was imperative, for our wellbeing, that we did; and for that of the planet. Gaia, our home away from home: beginning to hurt terribly from our treating her ungraciously, even at that stage. As I say, this was over half a century ago, now.

And it’s now time to do something about it. Because we don’t have much more time, before it will be too late, to wake up, and realise that we have been living in a dream. A dream of producing more and more stuff, that isn’t basically needed, in order to continue to grow - and produce even more unnecessary stuff - which isn’t the answer to the future. The answer to the future is to blend our instruments, and create harmonious music. Not discord.

And a good way to get to that answer would be to help the poor have access to the wherewithal to make music. That we can blend our instruments that way; metaphorically. But also truly. For we have all been written into the same piece of music by the same Composer. And it’s time to do Him, and ourselves, the honour of holding a great concert, on planet Earth, beneath the same stars that shine upon us all.

Come let us join our many golden flickerings, and create one life; together. Forever. - in the words of a song by the New Troubadours (‘Change Can Come’). That note sounded almost forty years ago, now.

It really is time.

"Fury as councils to axe free places in private nurseries" (title to an article in The (Glasgow) Herald of 17 October)

Ah. The old Tinstaafl debate...

I have a very hard time with 'freebies', and that mentality. The mentality of 'entitlements'. If that mindset is all that I had known in life, I might understand better why people have so easily gotten brainwashed by it. It would - could easily - seem so 'natural' to them. But it's only natural in socialist-like settings.

I am an American. I came to the UK (Scotland) as an adult, so I didn't grow up in this sort of culture, of 'entitlements'. Perhaps that is why it rubs me so much 'the wrong way' - like, raw.

My position: No one is 'entitled' as a matter of 'right' to the earnings of any other person. That is theft. Not so pure, and not so simple - we do pay taxes to cover community-wide services like roads and public transport and police and fire services, and so forth. And yes - public education. And the latter is obviously where this business, of the attitude of social 'benefits', stemmed from. But it has become the proverbial foot in the door, for more, and more, and more 'entitlements' to muscle their way through to the public trough. And soon, it gets out of hand. As could have been seen, by anybody with eyes to see. It would have taken some very astute observers, and politicians, to keep a lid on the matter - a stopper on the door, to keep it from being widened more and more; as more and more people voted more and more money out of other people's pockets.

Oh yes, they were taxpayers, too, to start with. And it was the idea of a 'national insurance tax' to start with. But then the mentality of pure 'entitlement', and also of 'soak the rich', comes into play; and many people do get seduced by the idea of getting 'something for nothing'.

The welfare mentality...sapping individual initiative. Living off of other people's earnings, like leeches. Deadbeats. Layabouts...

Yes, it is the individual's fault, ultimately, as to a sense of responsibility. But it is also - and I would say equally if not more so - the fault of the leaders of the society, and the structure itself; making it too easy for the citizenry to rest on their oars, and expect others to do the heavy lifting, as it were. And then everybody turns to pointing their fingers at each other; or blaming the system, for their not getting their 'fair share' out of the goody box...

So. I see red, figuratively and literally, in all this. (Or at the least - as to the latter 'take' on it - varying shades of pink.)

And yet. And yet...

And now for another side to this matter. Because I see the future, too, in it. Just with a couple of ingredients missing in the mix. The 'mix' between individualism and collectivism; 'capitalism' and 'communism'; self and society.

In the current campaigns going on in the streets of the U.S. and the UK in particular, I see signs that read 'Education is a right', and 'Health care is a right'. And you know what? They are. In a proper context. And it is the hem of that garment that these people are touching. The point being obscured by the trees of the moment. ('They're a privilege, not a right!' 'Nonsense! They are a fundamental right!' 'Nonsense! That's slavery!' 'Nonsense! That's just good common sense!' 'You're a commie!' 'And you're a fascist - and so's your old man!' 'And your mother is'...)

Consider a society where everything is provided by the society - that is, by the people in their grand 'collective'. There is enough food and housing for all; there is free-to-cheap energy (we're just about there, on that front, anyway); there are cars and bicycles and such, held in common, with individuals capable of 'purchasing' specific such items, beyond those held in common, from the credits they have received - 'earned' for various services to the collective. But the motivating power of the system is just that: service to the 'collective'. Not out of a desire for personal aggrandizement. (Although individuality will still be expressed, because there will inevitably not be enough of everything for everybody, and so they will make choices.) And the motivating power, more precisely - behind this concept of service to the Whole - will be very clear.

It will be, not 'money'. (And particularly not 'profit', since the key to the whole shift in civilizational level is to do away with interest-bearing money, and one of its major outcome structures, fractional-reserve banking; by then having been superseded.) Rather, it will be - and the system will have come about - out of gratitude to our Creator for life with meaning.

Out of the recognition that life has Purpose, and that Purpose is Good. That life has meaning, beyond just in and for itself only. And once humanity really gets that - that life is not just about 'creature comforts', and bound by the space between the cradle and the grave - we will move out of the troubled waters of the present, and into the smooth sailing of the future; beginning to appear on our horizon, now.

Also because of the recognition, by then - as part of the recognized (re-cognized) Plan in and Purpose to the life experience- that We Are One Another. That through the process that we recognize at one of its stages as reincarnation (with its attendant law of karma), we are but playing parts while in incarnation. Now a prince, now a pauper; now male, now female; now one race or nationality or creed or religion, now another. For learning lessons, in the school that is life. And so, as we do unto others, so do we do unto ourselves.

Literally.

Because We Are All One.

Needing now to release our sense of individuality - of individuation - and return to our Source; as part of One Holy Being.

Join the move into the New.

It's going to happen anyway. With you, consciously, or without you. Because

the play is over.

It's time now for the real thing.

And the way to get there - the only way it will come about - is for each of us to give it our best shot; as it were.

The new paradigm can't work - will not work - if people individually take advantage of it.

And so we really need to release these thoughtforms of 'freebies'.

There really is, then, no such thing as a free lunch.

But if we all 'give it our best': the best will be manifested.

It's all a matter of attitude. To receive, you must first learn to give. And if we do - when we do - 'all else will be added unto us'. For life does not exist in a vacuum.

There's far, far more awaiting us.

But first things first:

cleaning up, and setting to rights, our home.

Our home, that is, away from Home.

Free Speech - Or Not

2011-10-07T22:35:00.005+01:00

[another hobby horse of mine]

"7 October 2011

Dear Adam et al at FIRE [Kissell; Foundation for Individual Rights in Education]

I appreciate the work that you folks are doing, because your hearts are in the right place; but I have a fundamental constitutional question about this 'free speech' matter. I'm wondering if you can help me (as obviously, you folks have researched this matter, and its 'paper trail', a lot).

(1) The federal government does not guarantee the citizens in any state anything except (1) a republican form of state government, and (2) via the 14th Amendment, "equal protection of the laws" - ie, in terms of the original intent, as I understand it, that state laws must in effect be color blind; no respecter of persons; all are equal before the law; and cannot be deprived of "life, liberty or property, without due process OF law" (my emphasis) - ie, there cannot be arbitrary government, acting outwith the law.

(2) The Constitution is a contract, stating what the federal government can and cannot do. The Bill of Rights is an example of what rights and powers the federal government does and does not have - and any others not specifically delegated to it are retained "by the people" (with respect to rights: the 9th Amendment), or "are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people" (with respect to powers: the 10th Amendment). The point is that the several States were not surrendering up much power to the federal government; just in matters dealing with other countries, etc etc. All else not limited and delegated (in the words of Madison: "few and defined") remained in the purview of the several States, as secured for their citizens in law in their state constitutions.

(3) Somewhere along the line, the Bill of Rights - ie, an example of rights not allowed to be trampled on, or adjudicated upon, by the federal government, since it was not ceded the power to do so by the Constitution - has been turned on its head, and made to apply FROM the federal government (& its judiciary) TO the states. Without an amendment to this effect, this would appear to have been a bit of legalistic legerdemain; accomplished apparently by a VERY liberal reading of the 14th Amendment's 'due process' clause.
Instead of just taking this clause as a statement outlawing arbitrary law, liberal law school professors (presumably seeing their chance to establish a unitary form of government in the country, whereby they could control the whole from the top; easier to take over that way, bend to your interests), interpreted this clause as 'incorporating' the Bill of Rights (and by inevitable extension, all those rights and powers previously retained by the people and the States, and held in check by their state constitutions) into being now residing in the purview of and control of the federal government, and its Supreme Court's interpretation thereof. Before this 'principle' of 'incorporation' (nothing black-letter legal about it; it's simply an opinion, that the Supreme Court has ended up agreeing with), all these rights - freedom of speech and press, etc etc - were held within the purview of the several States And it is that turning of the Constitution on its head that I object to.*
I agree that our rights preceded the Constitution, for that argument. I don't agree that the Constitution guarantees those rights - legally. Only by what has come to be custom. And I don't like the way that was brought about. It was brought about, as I indicate - and in my opinion - by sleight of hand.

(4) A thought here: the 14th Amendment made the citizens of every state also citizens of the United States; and the federal government could thenceforth theoretically override any state constitution's provision that doesn't give its citizens the rights and privileges of ALL the citizens of the United States - or that doesn't apply the laws applicable to the United States/federal government to their citizens. But that didn't happen at the time (and so it wasn't recognized as part of 'the deal' at the time; thus going to the legitimate legal principle of original intent). Nor for some time later. So one has a right to the assumption that that wasn't what was meant (intended).
In my research into this curious matter, some years ago - the Matter of The Pilfered Constitution - I had to trace the paper trail all the way down to around 1941, for the first time (at least as I could find) that the Supreme Court interpreted the First Amendment as applying from the federal government to the States. (It involved, as I recall, a person burning the American flag as a political protest, and getting censured for it by his state, under whatever state ordinance; with the Supreme Court citing the First Amendment to let him off.) And that seemed to open the door for more of the same; ie, in that vein, of court interpretation.
It seems rather strange that constitutionalists didn't kick up a major fuss over it at the time. Or maybe they did; and that was the beginning of control of the mainstream media in this regard. In any event: the cry, down to our day, of 'our constitutional rights', seems due to a misunderstanding of the Constitution as she is wrote, not as some would like it to be interpreted, or assume that it actually reads. They need to actually read it.
As to the 14th Amendment opening this door:

(5) The 'principle' of 'incorporation' found by some in the 14th Amendment - assumed to be there - is not the only affront to legitimacy occasioned by that amendment. It turns out that the 14th Amendment itself may not even have been ratified properly anyway. So maybe the answer to a number of judicial errors (the 'personhood' of corporations is involved in this matter as well) can be overturned in one fell swoop: by challenging stare decisis, in declaring the 14th illegally obtained, and reinstituting its best features - legally this time - without the toxic ones. And maybe then The People can have some faith and confidence in their constitutional law again, as writ. Not as proclaimed by devious players in the game of government.

In sum:

(6) The federal government was illegally made the guarantor of various domestic issues, like 'free speech'. There were debates on these matters between the Federalists and the Republicans in the 1790s and 1800s. But I still say that the Supreme Court has no legitimate business ruling on issues that are the rightful business of the people in their several states. The states, being states, and not just pretend entities, have the inherent power to regulate the 'rights' of their citizenry. From fornicating in the streets; asking for photo IDs in order to vote; permitting, or not, abortion - etc etc. There is a legitimate legal concept called 'contemporary community standards', which means, in effect, government by the consent of the governed - and that consent may vary from state to state. One size does NOT fit all, in a federal form of government. A majoritarian attitude towards art in the public museums and galleries of the state of New York may well differ from the majoritarian attitude towards the same in the state of Indiana, say; etc.
I'm saying that 'rights' can be legitimately regulated, as the price of living in a social construct we call a 'community'; and absent a clear and specific delegation of power to the federal government via the Constitution to regulate on such matters, that regulation legitimately takes place within the several States. As the 'laboratories' that they are, for such things. Places to try out various approaches to societal matters. Welfare issues; and so forth and so on. The federal government and its Supreme Court have no rightful business forcing all the states to fit their procrustean bed, of 'interpretation'. It was the same with the Roe v Wade decision. And it is the same with 'free speech' issues.
We give the federal government total, unitary control over us to our peril. You folks at FIRE may not like that take on the Constitution. But you'll have to convince me that the truth of the matter is otherwise.

And not to say that the principle of 'free speech' is not a good thing. Indeed, it is. Letting the federal government, and its Supreme Court, sit in ultimate judgment on what constitutes free speech is another matter entirely. And one that I don't support.

Let me know where I'm wrong in my take on this matter. I will be very happy to hear about it. Because I care about such matters, deeply. The matter, in its essence, of the rule of law, as opposed to the rule of men, with agendas.

Best regards,

'Stan' Stanfield

* And which is behind Roe v Wade, eg. That sort of thing is rightfully - ie, constitutionally - a matter for the several States to decide for themselves.
By rights, those who want the federal government to run the whole show should propose an amendment to the Constitution saying something like: 'All those powers previously reserved to the States or to the people shall now reside in the federal government." And let's see how they go with the debate - fair and square."

So things are heating up...

2011-10-06T22:09:00.009+01:00

As the Occupy Wall Street event continues, and morphs into something of a movement, some observations.

First of all, to clarify my basic perspective; and that is, that there is some truth on both sides of this confrontation - which is part of an unfolding process, to a new, higher level of consciousness, for humanity to inhabit, in order to get to 'the Promised Land' - a Golden Age, just a bit out of our reach just yet, as the process of unfoldment plays its way out into the light of that new day.

Some salient points of the process. On the one hand:

* It is immoral to seduce people into a dependency/'entitlement' mentality. Whatever justification there has been - has been employed - it has been outrageous and immoral to allow a dependency culture to be created, wherein people feel that the state owes them something, that they are 'entitled' to - owes them a living, or a home; an education; healthcare, childcare, and so forth. That just by virtue of being a member of the society, they are owed various 'entitlements'. Like communist/socialist states declared, in order to buy the fealty and loyalty of their citizens. A better word for which is serfs - property of the state. To do, in return, what the state wants them to do; since it owns them, lock, stock, and barrel. In a nutshell: the generation of a 'something for nothing' mentality; going on for generations.

Having said that:

* There are intimations of the future 'state' in all of this. Because where humanity is headed is a stateless society - much, indeed, like Marx envisioned; sensed; where 'private property' was a thing of the past. Where everything would be held in common. Just not the way that Marx, and other materialists -'secular humanists' - assumed, just looking at life in a linear fashion, not grasping the full dimensionality of it, and of 'human nature'. And thus they saw the need for the equivalent of a police state, until the serfs could be educated to a higher state of consciousness - the New Man, aka Soviet Man.

And against which, citizens in their capitalist, private-property societies - and from painful experience in the socialist and communist models that were tried out in the 20th century - rebelled. And rightfully so. But in that reaction, a warning: Don't be content to let the current outcome of this left-vs-right confrontation be 'business as usual'. For - as indicated above - there are seeds of truth on both sides of this historical equation; or rather, process, as I posited.

As to this process: let me quote from a comment I made to an article on the e-letter site World New Daily, referring to the subject of 'Obama Administration Filled with Activists for Globalism' (by Aaron Klein, posted on 1 October this year). The article referenced the backgrounds of various players in the Obama administration, and - interestingly, and honestly enough - noted that there were some very 'rightwing', capitalist names among the 'usual suspects' on the left of the political scene in the U.S. The article prompted this response from me:

"1) I trust that the people on this thread will at some point realize that there is an element of truth on both sides of the debate, and that the answer is to take it up a notch from its current level of stand-off - and that in point of fact, that process and needed movement is precisely where we are at in our historical time and place globally. As for this sense of a 'dialectical process':*

"2) I hope that everybody is noticing, in the article itself, the illuminative crossover that is taking place, evidencing that what is going on politically is, in greater truth,not a matter of 'left' vs 'right',but is a matter of the PTB playing them both off against each other, in order to bring abut the desired synthesis stage of a secular New World Over, commanded by a powerful elite; which would, indeed, be odious, for being under the control of power-hungry men, who would be proving the axiom, Without a vision, the people perish.

"But then they are, after all, serving a higher purpose. And out of all of this - all of this sturm und drang that Man has been engaged in long enough - will come a Golden Age. An age of celebration, with the Prodigal Son having returned to the house of his Father - by choice. And the wiser for the experience; of having wandered in the wilderness of life, cut off from his roots. To mix a few metaphors; but hopefully drawing a coherent picture, of where we're at, and what we need now to do."

A couple of points. Clearly, the PTB of this level of reality, on this planet, have 'a vision'. I simply meant that, in the absence of an overriding vision, of the Plan and Purpose of life, men are led astray, by their lesser impulses: impulses to power, and so forth. And secondly, I am saying that, with the help of such discerning articles as this one, we - humanity - have the ability to see what, precisely, is going on, and how the PTB are working 'both sides of the aisle' in order to unfold circumstances to their liking.

'Their': the so-called 'globalists'. The magalomaniacs, who would sacrifice anybody, and in any numbers, to further their cause. Believing, as they demonstrably do, that the end justifies the means.

The philosophy of tyrants down through history.

And so what is going on, for them to further their end.

Item. The Obama administration - and like the Bush administration before it - is quietly trashing the constitutional safeguards against tyrannical takeover of the American state. One example: a secret Justice Department memo authorizing (justifying) the federal executive to engage in lethal targeting of anybody whom the executive branch/administration determines is an enemy of the state - ie, justifying sate-sanctioned assassination. Purely on the say-so, ultimately, of the Commander in Chief. Who is being given such powers under the state of war that the PTB have declared, in their War on Terror - the excuse they needed to trash the Constitution, and its safeguards against such highhanded measures by the Executive. Item. Building on powers put in place under the preceding Bush administration, the Obama administration has created a Council of Governors, to advise him on such matters as a 'state of national emergency' - giving him cover to declare such a state, and therefore impose Martial Law on the country. All its taking to do so being something like (orchestrated) battles between forces of the 'left' and the 'right' - or 'a new Pearl Harbor'. As 9/11 was, to further the 'vision' of the Neocons, who wanted American hegemony - an imperial presence - in the Middle East.** Item. Executive branch rules and regulations depriving the public of the right to be able to grow their own food, because the PTB have plans for the culling of the populace, down to 'manageable' proportions (including with vaccine ingredients; another subject in itself), and they can't have individuals being 'off the grid' - independently able to take care of themselves. Item. 'Smart meters' in homes, so that if the residents (or other inhabitants, unknown to the state) exceed their quotas, of energy usage (or CO2 levels, for the number of people officially staying there), their energy sources can be cut off, and/or other foul deeds done to them, as unilaterally declared 'enemies of the state' (see, eg, Agenda 21).

And thus the reason for the great 'climate change' scare: as an excuse to control the populace.

In a police state.

That The People should not allow to be fastened onto them. Regardless of its ostensible purpose - 'for the betterment of living on the planet'. It is still police state stuff. A control mentality, that does not allow humans to exercise their free will.

And therefore should be resisted. By people on both the 'left' and the 'right' of the current political scene.

People, coming together, in common cause, to create a better world - from this major Crisis state, allowing such a major Opportunity - based on Truth.

The Truth of our being. Being, in a well-put expression: 'spiritual beings having a human experience'.

Having the experience of life, on this level of existence, in order to grow from the experience. Knowing, finally, beyond any doubt, that

there is Plan in and Purpose to life, beyond just in and for itself only.

And that we can create that Golden Age by being motivated by just one factor. The highest factor of all such factors. Far beyond the lower classroom factors of the likes of 'profit'. The crowning one of all: to provide goods and services to one another, and to give of our best in doing so -

out of gratitude to our Creator for life with meaning.

Join me in that cause.

You'll be glad that you did.

Even if, momentarily, you think that life was sweeter before the revolution.

Taste the nectar of life everlasting. And you will never want to go back to its pale imitations.

In sum.

We are - humanity is - at a Turning Point (The Great Turning, in the words of such thoughtful observers of the socio-econo-political scene as David C. Korten and Joanna Macy). Once the 'stakes' were raised to the global level, by the 'right' side of the dialectical process of historical unfoldment - the side emphasizing the individual over the collective; and doing so in a merely materialistic way - a new, higher stage of the process can kick in, in reaction. And now, a culminating stage, because the stakes are the planet as a whole being subject to control by mere materialists, on the one hand, or under the guiding sway of 'spiritualists', ie, those who understand their real roots being in the 'higher realms', dimensions; 'densities' as they have been called. Not in the lower base level.

Yes, part of our natures is mammalian, with mammalian instincts. And, we have a higher nature; that 'tells' us, in many ways, that we are part of a larger Whole than the merely material; a Whole in which we move and live and have our being, to a Plan and Purpose. The Plan worked out through a process we call reincarnation, and the Purpose of which is to grow, in awareness and 'consciousness'; the better for the experience.

Let's be abut that better business, than the interim-stage stuff we are engaged in at the moment; and running the risk of getting stuck in, for the lack of a more wholistic vision. Of ourselves as sparks of our divine Source. On a journey to return Home; and know the place as if for the first time.

* This is in reference to the 'Marxist' theory of history unfolding in a process he/they called 'dialectical materialism', based on the German philosopher Friedrich Hegel's 'take' on how societies unfold. The process is characterized by a position, called a 'thesis', which triggers a reaction, called an 'antithesis', out of which process comes a 'synthesis'; but because it is not a complete process, ie, that synthesis still containing incomplete seeds, it becomes the 'thesis' of another stage of unfoldment. I happen to feel that Hegel had a good handle on how the historical process has developed and unfolded, and subscribe to it. In its way, it is the equivalent of the natural evolutionary process. (Which answers some of the questions regarding the development of Homo sapiens; but not all.)

** And I'm not saying here that the Bush administration - and its Neocons - were totally responsible for 9/11. But they were involved. As were elements of the nominal 'left'. But 9/11 gave the Bush administration the excuse they - and other PTB behind the scenes - wanted, to create a War on Terror, thus generating both great financial gains for themselves, and the circumstances to activate takeover measures, which would ultimately demolish the Constitution; get it out of the way of their juggernaught, their putsch for uncontrolled power. So it was more LIHOP - Let It Happen On Purpose - than MIHOP - Make It Happen On Purpose. As near as I can tell, at this point, from the available evidence.
All of this will come out, when the country starts engaging in truth-telling. About all manner of historical events. As part of what is needed for humanity to be able to move forward, into its new era - to learn its lessons fully. So as not to have to repeat them.

First: Do No Harm

2011-09-11T22:05:00.003+01:00

I'm disgusted by yet another documentary, and other video links, regarding the link between vaccines - a number of them, not just one - and what is called autism. Although semantics is an integral part of this problem.

The Establishment has tried to stifle this link by using all manner of wordplays to avoid saying the magical 'A' word. Among other cloaking euphemisms, it's called PDD-NOS - Pervasive Developmental Disorder - Not Otherwise Specified - or 'encephalopathy'; a word that simply means brain damage. Question at this point: Can vaccines cause encephalopathy (or another word for the same thing, encephalitis, meaning, more specifically, inflammation of the brain)? Answer: Yes. It's called 'vaccine-induced encephalitis'. So - how come all the cover-up? Because the authorities say that vaccine-induced encephalitis happens in only 'one in a million' cases, 'and there is no evidence that vaccines cause autism'. What?? Which seeming contradiction brings up another question: Doctor, what about cases of what could be called sub-acute encephalitis? Answer: Silence. Or other verbal subterfuge.

This argument mirrors the outcomes of cases of brain damage taken to the so-called Vaccine Court: If the case has involved immediate, acute symptoms upon vaccination - that the 'experts' just can't conceal as causative in nature - cases have been won by the parents; but if the symptoms are even the slightest what is called 'slower onset', the authorities have drawn a line in the sand, and do all they can to avoid admitting to causation.

Why.

Three reasons. (1) Financial. If the authorities had to admit to the huge number of cases of children having been brain damaged by their vaccinations, we're talking billions in compensation (or actually as 'annuity' - money paid for their lifetime care; however long that may be).* (2) 'If parents got spooked by reports of such widespread compensation from lining their kids up for their shots, we would have a massive return of the childhood diseases, and thousands of kids would die from them.' (So...hide the truth?? More on this angle.) (3) Hubris. The medical professionals involved have staked their reputations and careers on the huge positive nature of vaccines, in the risks-vs-benefits ratio they go by. It would amount to an extreme case of cognitive dissonance for some of them to have to admit to themselves that they have been wrong. Can't face it. So ignore it, and it'll go away.

No longer, ladies and gentlemen. Too much information is coming out now, for you to be able to sweep this matter under the carpet any longer. And about time.

As to the point I mentioned above, about hiding the truth about the full downside of vaccines. By doing so, such authorities are putting off the need for their profession's pharmaceutical arm to come up with safer vaccines. But then, they may already be thinking that that won't happen to any great extent - because of the nature of vaccines - so they don't want to have to 'go there'. This aspect of this matter is worth looking at in a little more detail.

It's not only an issue of, hopefully, safer vaccines in themselves. It's an issue of understanding how they adversely affect some kids more than others; and so those kids could be spared the danger (but which would weaken the goal of 'herd immunity'; so one size fits all is the policy...). Example that they already acknowledge: kids with 'mitochondrial disorder' (which is not as rare as the authorities would like, and like the public, to think). These children can't handle stress as easily as other children - like the fever caused by vaccines. Or another example that the authorities don't know about, by and large, because of professional avoidance of the issue: kids with a genetic polymorphism (susceptibility/predisposition) to be low in a substance called glutathione, which is the body's natural chelator of heavy metals/toxins, taking them out of the body. Vaccines have substances like mercury and aluminum in them: these kids will have a harder time chelating/eliminating those toxins than other kids. Another example: it has been discovered that at least some of the genes associated with autism code for glutamate, which in the wrong place is an excitotoxin, ie, a toxin to the brain. These kids should be spared glutamate - or as it is known in live-virus vaccines, glutamic acid (it acts as a stabilizer). So those kids need to have their diet screened carefully of MSG (or casein or gluten, which have glutamate in them; and thus the value for many such brain-damaged kids of a CF/GF diet) - and need to be spared being vaccinated with the likes of the MMR.**

I could go on; but I need to move on, to the 'official' rationale of kids dying from the childhood diseases if their parents started refusing to have them vaccinated. (1) Let's look at the true ratio of risks-vs-benefits; not the limited one being used today. There is far more damage being wrought by this vaunted medical modality than is being admitted to. We're talking, in their side effects, the (epidemic) likes of ADD/ADHD (& dyslexia & dyspraxia & other such PDD conditions, including autism); allergies/asthma; arthritis/arthralgia; CFS/ME; convulsions/seizures/epilepsy; type 1 diabetes; MS - the list goes on, of autoimmune and neurological and other disorders caused by vaccines. So we need a more honest risk assessment here. (2) It's not as if there are not other treatments for the childhood diseases, that don't have the damnable side effects to them that the vaccines have anyway. There's vitamin A/cod liver oil for measles; large doses of vitamin C for polio; colloidal silver for the DPT triad - the list goes on, of natural anti-virals and -bacterials, that can get the child through the condition - and that way, allow the children to develop natural, lifelong immunity to the conditions, that they do not get from the weakened vaccine strains (from which they get only what is called sensitization).***

And we now come to a fourth reason for the cover-up in this ignoble matter; and its link to my wrapping up this blog. The matter of profits - to the pharmaceutical companies, and to the allopathic medical profession, relying on the products of those corporations for their own comfortable incomes. The corporate-government complex (aka fascism) is protecting those profits, with all the fact-obfuscating that they can muster.

But there's even more to this matter than that. It turns out that vaccines have been identified by the Powers That Be as an excellent vehicle for people control, and culling, from the substances that can be introduced into people through them. And since the PTB have, as part of their mission, the culling of millions if not billions of our fellow humans as 'useless eaters' in their Brave New World, of people control and technological replacement of people, they will not stand for anything compromising their use of this wonderful tool. Not even the truth about the downsides of vaccines.

So now you know why they don't want to run the studies of vaccinated-vs unvaccinated cohorts, which could put to rest this question, of their downsides. And why they skew study after study to come up with their desired outcome. (The Verstraeten study; the Madsen study; the Fombonne study; the Honda-Rutter study...)

As I say; I could go on. but let me wrap this blog up for now.

Tony Bennett used to sing a song entitled 'If I Ruled the World'. If I ruled the world, I would eliminate the concept of profit as the motivating factor for human activity - which has caused most of the trouble on the planet today; with some individuals gaining great well-being from it, but the large majority being damaged terribly by it; and with its seeding of wars and rumours of wars from time immemorial - and replace it with the motivating factor of, in a word, Love: when people will provide each other with goods and services, and give of their best in the process, out of gratitude to their Creator for life with meaning. And we will thus get rid of all this atrocious behaviour that many have been, and are, engaging in, that does our full potential - of spiritual beings having a human experience - no justice.

It will be replaced anyway. Because the old is dying. Having had its day in the sun. And in the end, being found wanting. 'Not fit for purpose,' as they say. The purpose, of our future on this lovely planet we call Earth. Now calling of us our best. Not our worst.

You were given free will. You will have to live with the consequences of your actions. And in the meantime, humanity is moving up, to a higher level of expression of our basic divine nature. Join us. Or be left behind.

Your choice.

* The number of cases of autism have gone up in association with a number of vaccinal factors: (1) Vaccination - and the increased number of vaccines - being made mandatory in more states in the 80s and 90s; (2) the ingredients of vaccines changing over the same general period of time. These changes have not been studied well, because 'everybody knows that vaccines are good' - because the practice is governmental policy, so 'don't confuse me with the facts'.

** And note something here: the MMR, or any live-virus vaccine, should not be given at the same time as vaccines with mercury (thimerosal; as an antiseptic) or aluminum (as an adjuvant) in them, because glutamic acid lowers levels of glutathione, and thus the interaction will cause the child not to be able to eliminate the mercury or aluminum as easily, as if such vaccines are given at separate times.
And while on the subject of glutathione antagonists: acetaminophen - Tylenol in the US - also causes levels of glutathione to be lowered. Thus, if the child runs a fever from the vaccines, and the health practitioner gives it Tylenol, and those vaccines contain such as thimerosal or aluminum, they will likewise, as with glutamate, not be able to be eliminated as easily. Result: brain damage.

*** And besides, mortality from all of the childhood diseases was already going down before the advent of the vaccines for them. As it was for diseases for which there are no vaccines. It has been mostly due to better hygiene and nutrition and cleaner water.

The Eve of 9/11, And All That

2011-09-10T20:58:00.003+01:00

The 10th anniversary of an atrocity...and still the public at large is not recognising the truth of what happened on that day of infamy.

Not that the whole truth has come out, yet. But there is enough evidence 'out' at this point to know that the official story - the official 'conspiracy theory' - is not sufficient for an understanding fully of what, precisely, happened, in that concatenation of events.

For example:

Someone (a CIA front) betting big on the fall of the stock of the airlines involved; indicating advance knowledge of the event...

A shipment of gold bars being pilfered by truck in the damaged basement of one of the towers; indicating the same...

...the basement levels themselves extremely hot (for weeks) and filled with molten steel; a phenomenon that cannot be accounted for simply from fires started by jet fuel...

...and among the wreckage, evidence of thermite/thermate present, indicating planned demolitions...

...bringing up the 'little' matter of the explosions heard by numerous firefighters and bystanders before the (steel-frame) towers (for the first, and only, time in history) collapsed, and did so directly into their footprints...

..including WTC7, which was not hit by a plane, and which came symmetrically down precisely like a planned demolition; mimicking the free-fall speed of the other towers...

...which showed all the hallmarks of being shattered by extreme forces, pulverizing concrete and debris - including bodies - into dust and ejecting steel girders out from the explosions like javelins, in a pyroclastic display that was so far beyond the possible of the dutifully announced event that it was akin to the Big Lie advocated by the likes of Hitler and Goebbels...

and on and on it goes: the evidence that something was and is rotten in the state of America. Whereby this 'New Pearl Harbor' event allowed the Bush administration, with its coterie of Neo-Cons, the opportunity to fulfil their desires for hegemony in the Middle East, via a sort of Pax Americana.

But wait: there's even more, in the investigations of that event - in 'following the money' - that leads as well to another set of perps; these from the 'left' of current politics, who had access to the war game exercises going on that day, which served as cover for 'the real thing', and furthered their desire for a blow at the heart of capitalism, in order to strengthen their socialistic scheming for the future of human life on the planet...

...so yes: a major event. But one asking - beseeching - for more attention from The People; calling on them to be more discerning in their take on Life in Our Times.

History has been the story of the struggle for power and wealth.

It's time for a change.

I admit to anger; and sadness. I am not happy with the power of the Establishment - the Established Order of Things - to control the minds of The People so. But at the end of the day, it is each person's responsibility to 'check their premises'.*

Don't be found wanting in this matter. If you are, you are part of the problem. Not part of the solution; which is in the wings, just waiting to be ushered onto the stage of life, when The People are ready, and have signaled their readiness, by just such a clear-eyed view of 9/11 as is being asked for now. To see it as it is - a fundamentally flawed picture - rather than as it has been portrayed, in the mainstream media.

The people running the world in our time have bought the belief of what is known as Social Darwinism. Don't let them get away with it - with their high perch on power - any longer.

Or they will be the death of YOU yet.

* As with the assassination of JFK. With even the glaring evidence of his body having been tampered with between the time it left Dallas and the time it entered the autopsy room in Maryland, and was photographed there - with a deep incision in the right front clearly not having been there before the trip and arrival - the public at large seems still not to have cottoned onto the fact that powers in high places are playing terribly deadly and dangerous power games, and need to be investigated thoroughly. Which investigation is not happening in the current arrangement of 'opposition' political parties. People need to check their premises: there is no real two-party system in America. At the top, it is the same scheming, conniving thugs. The 'all-seeing' Eye at the top of the pyramid of power. Which can't see itself, for being so focused on its power over others.
(By the way; a clue in this particular caper: there was a time lag (of about 45 minutes) between the time that the (TV-covered) ambulance left the airplane at its arrival in Maryland, and an ambulance arrived (again, TV-covered) at the hospital. There was a cover story, of a 'fake' ambulance leading the press in a wild goose chase (for whatever stated reason). But the whole scenario allowed the opportunity for the body to be taken off the airplane on the other side of the 'given' exit (in the darkness at the time of arrival), rushed to another hospital site for a quick surgical job - to hide evidence of more than one 'lone assassin' patsy in on the caper - and then sent on its merry way. With - unfortunately, for the perps - a bungle in the 'operation': the body did not arrive at Bethesda in the same wrapping, and even casket - as it left Parkland Hospital in Dallas.
But oh well. We have such a control over the MSM that nobody will notice these little details. And even if someone does, the story will disappear from the news, and be forgotten, as life goes on. Just the way we plan it to,,,
Reality check, boys and girls. (And yes, there are some women involved in all these shenanigans.) Your day is done.
You've gone too far.
The People are awakening.
Hopefully, in time.)

Neither Left Nor Right But Up

2011-09-07T22:33:00.010+01:00

Putting on my socks this morning I noticed how thin they are, compared to the way socks used to be made. It brought home to me just how unsustainable - wasteful - the western way of capitalist life is: planned obsolescence, and all that. (Thorstein Veblen also had a name for this general sort of consumer-driven thing: 'conspicuous consumption'.) When humanity didn't have to think much about the using up of the planet's resources, because they were so abundant in their time-frame use, it could afford to think of, and act accordingly on, such a way of life. But in our day and age, we have had our attention seriously drawn to the matter of 'the planet's resources'. And a good thing, too; to learn to honour and respect them, and Gaia herself, more.

Am I 'anti-capitalist'? To a certain extent. But read on...for comment about the other side of the political aisle. (Or, more accurately: the other side of the historical dialectical mechanism.)*

'The state has to provide its ctiizens with education, healthcare, and housing. Oh, and a free mobile phone for poor kids. Oh, and free access to the internet for them, too. After all, they are entitled to well-being.'

Who says.

The current Democrat Party in the States. Well, maybe not all of its members. But that is the way the situation is tending there; with the buying of votes accordingly.**

In the UK it was called the Militant Tendency. Was, because the Labour Party would not embrace the all-out socialism of that faction in its midst - and in point of fact, rejected it quite publicly, and knowingly: in order to get elected. Which it did accomplish (as 'New Labour'). But went too far in the process; and the public decided, in the last general election, that if they were going to be governed by the Tories, they might as will elect the real thing.

So what sorts of attitudes are engendered by all this, besides unhappiness for all concerned - except the well-off, in their '20:80 society' scenario, whereby 20% of the populace will be handsomely rewarded for their loyalty to the system, and 80% of The People will be redundant to its needs. 'Useless eaters,' they have been called by voices in the financial and power elite. Who would like to see them culled. In whatever form that may take. But let me refer to an attitude on the left of this dialectical equation first.

I have a feeling that there is an attitude 'out there' that says: 'We're taking from the rich and giving to the poor; that's all. It's called equality' (or 'redistribution of wealth'). Well; guess what. The rich are not the ones who are hurting, in this battle. (For battle it is; ie, class warfare.) They have neatly protected themselves in various ways from the tax system. It is the middle class and lower middle class - the so-called working poor- who are hurting the most. And because it's the middle class that provides most of the work opportunities in the economy, if they are hurting, the poor are hurting, for job opportunities.

The 20% would love to collapse the middle class, who are the main threat to their power (call it what it is: their enemy). But let me stay with 'the poor' for a moment. Apparently, many of those in that category have decided (for various reasons; including the social order-breaking cushy life of those at the increasingly-separate top of the heap) to 'opt out', and just live with their freebies, in a permanent state of welfarism. Not a good idea. Those in work are going to resent those out of work and not really looking for work. Are, resenting. Just so is the feeling of separation generated; NOT 'we're all in this together'. So this neo-socialistic state of affairs is counter-productive; not sustainable. 'Welfarism' - a permanent class, state of being - inculcates a something-for-nothing mentality. Not healthy.

Like interest-bearing money...

But to conclude my critique of the welfare state: the attitude of getting something for nothing will not get humanity to a higher state of civilization on the planet; and, indeed, is the very thing that will keep that desirable state from ever happening. What will bring about the higher, synthesis-state of civilization on the planet is the realisation - the understanding - that as we give, so do we receive; for we are part of the whole that is being served by our giving to it.

It's the difference between the evolutionary path of Service to Self and that of Service to Others.*** And the latter is the higher road. The point of choice which we are now facing; and in spades, as it were. (As well with technology eliminating jobs; and so creating the need for a separation of 'income' from 'employment'.)

Things, in short, are coming to a head.

As they should.

For 'things as they are, and have been', cannot long continue.

There is something new under the sun, waiting in the wings, for its time.

And that time is Now.

When we will recognize that we have been involved in a drama, and have been playing parts in that drama. Over and over and over again. Now a prince, now a pauper. Now male, now female. Now of one race, now another. For a purpose.

The purpose has been - and is - to grow. To gain wisdom.

And now we are at the creative edge of one stage of our growth. Where our lesson is to recognize all this, and now move on, in our awareness OF the drama.

And doing it with such awarenesses as that 'As you do unto others, so do you do unto yourself' - and even literally, in your next incarnation, experiencing the law of cause and effect. Also known as karma.

It really is time to recognize certain facts of life, and stop living as if they weren't true, as we are doing at present. Those basic facts are that life has Purpose, and that Purpose is Good.

And once we accept that premise, and start living as if it were true, the classroom changes, and we graduate; to learn other lessons.

And ultimately, through it all - the whole process of the ages - will we come back to Oneness with our Source.

With that in which we move and live and have our being.

The greater - more expanded; more knowing - for the experience.

So let's start treating each other accordingly. As ourselves.

Because

it's time.

And that time will best be marked by a releasing of the twin training wheels of interest-bearing money on the one hand and fractional-reserve banking on the other, and the vehicle of our social system - our kingdom of God on Earth - running simply on Love; wherein we provide each other with goods and services, and give of our individuated best in the process, out of gratitude to our Creator for life with meaning.

And out of knowing - really, deep down, knowing - that we are all One anyway.

Come join the new era. And help make it happen, by doing so.

For know, that you have chosen to be here, at this time. (And it is an honour and a privilege to be here, at this time.) Let us rise to the occasion.

May we rise to the occasion.

Our choice.

Your choice.

As a vital, spark-part of the I Am.

The I Am that is with You always.

* I feel that Hegel had a good insight into the historical process, when he posited his 'dialectic': how a position - a 'thesis' - because it is not complete in itself, generates opposition to it - an antithesis - which results in a combining of elements of both, in a synthesis; but because it is not complete in itself, it becomes but a thesis for another stage of the unfolding process. A classic instance: unbridled capitalism, with the concomitant belief in the primacy of the individual, generated the reaction of communism, with the concomitant belief in the primacy of the collective. But as the world was heading for a critical state of confrontation between the two theses, the 'process' came up with a compromise (synthesis), in elements of what became known as the welfare state, and unionism; various states of 'social justice'. But that state of affairs has not been fully satisfactory, and has generated its own antithesis, which has resulted in the standoff we are experiencing today, with the compromise system experiencing elements of its 'internal contradictions' (mainly, the making of money - which has become the purpose of the capitalist tendency - resulting in structural damage to the economic model) resulting in very potential collapse; at the least, a 'double-dip recession'.

** Obama and his administrative buddies - apparatchiks, really - are creating a political base in a fudge called Illegal Aliens Amnesty, and in the cynically-orchestrated 'immigration' of millions of Muslims from Afghanistan and Palestine. It is a putsch for power. It is a way for the socialists in America to establish socialism IN America; with the help of a secularized segment of the young, having been and being engineered to make a break from the world of their parents, through the revolutionaries' occupation of the 'high ground' of the educational establishment.
But understand: both the Left and the Right have legitimate roles to play in the unfolding of this historical process. It is, after all, a drama, that we have all played different parts in.

*** Some people believe in the superior attitude of self-interest, ie, that as one serves one's self, the whole is served. (The so-called 'trickle down' theory.) Tell that to the lower denizens of the 20:80 society.

The Play-Acting Time is Over

2011-08-25T23:24:00.008+01:00

On the 5th of this month I sent the following email to my senior (home-based) senator, Dianne Feinstein:

"Dear Sen. Feinstein,

"I write this to you in an appeal to your statesmanship, as a member of the august assemblage known as the U.S. Senate. I do not say this in jest. I say it to acknowledge fully the role of the U.S. Senate in the American form of government. That role is to bring an overriding sense of responsibility to bear in matters of state, beyond just the level of partisan politics. You do not just represent the citizens of your state. You represent the spirit of the American dream, of self-governance. Not rule by church or royalty or any other form of autocracy or oligarchy; but government of, by, and for The People, in a constitutional republic. That form of government is being imperiled as we speak.

"I speak of the appalling matter of the serious concern about the eligibility of Barack H. Obama to sit in the seat of the presidency of the United States of America. Which is beginning to appear to take on the form of a throne.

"Not that others before him have not played fast and loose with their power in that position. But at least they were eligible for the office - that particular office, with its higher mandate for eligibility than other federal offices. For good reason, in the eyes of the Founding Fathers; who wanted no one with potential 'dual loyalties' to occupy that position, especially with its aspect of being Commander in Chief.

"I won't go into all the details of this current issue. I will just note that many document and electronic experts have established a powerful case for both birth certificate documents released by the Obama administration, or its supporters, to be fraudulent. In which case, the man has something to hide about his background, and bona fides. And The People are not being given recourse to justice, in a hearing in a court of law, because of procedural matters. And Congress seems reluctant to give this matter the hearing it deserves, because of political matters.

"That leaves an ugly stalemate. Which will grow, and grow, until it festers to the point of boiling over. Not the highest outcome to be preferred.

"I will summarize this plea, with an observation. Please help this matter get addressed in the Congress of the United States. Or you will be complicit in the collapse of the Constitution, as "just a damn piece of paper," as former president George W. Bush is reported to have characterized it. (And so this is not a partisan matter. It is a matter, as I said, of state.)

"Don't be a party to the collapse of the rule of law in this country. The outcome of such an event is too horrible to contemplate. Horrible; and sad. That the American experiment in self-governance should end in such ignominy.

"If only for you to rise to a level of true statesmanship, I plead for your intervention in this matter. Posterity will honor you; as one of those politicians to be represented in the annals of those bearing Profiles of Courage.

"Yours sincerely,

"'Stan' Stanfield
"an expatriate (with a California voting address), observing the goings-on in his home country with deep, and growing, sorrow, and alarm"

I have now, today, received a response from Sen. Feinstein, or to say, most probably more accurately, her office; but she is responsible for what goes out of her office. In it, 'she' acknowledges receipt of my letter regarding his presidency, and in reply, lists a number of the 'good' things that have come out of Obama's occupation of the office of the presidency, and of his administration, and of the current Congress in support of these results.*

So the issue of Obama's legitimacy for the office of the presidency is to be dealt with, by the upper echelons of the Democratic party, by drawing attention to his, and their, accomplishments; sincerely.

I have also just come off of watching, last night and completing today, over an hour's video of Jerome Corsi, of World Net Daily, laying out in detail, to an audience in Arizona, the case for Obama's ineligibility for the office, including a (one of many) document expert's analysis of the long-form birth certificate - the purported long-form birth certificate - asserted by Obama as being his official bc. Complete with even obvious falsifications. Including a smiley face put in the purported signature of the official signing off on the legitimacy of the document. So that these people in charge today are even laughing at the American public, for swallowing their fakery; such is the extent of their arrogance.

And they are getting away with it...

Well; they have history on their side. Because of how 'somebody' got away with the assassination of John F Kennedy (a video of which I also watched today). In plain sight as well. Complete with a photograph of the body in Maryland, ready for the autopsy, showing a gaping surgical incision in the front right-hand side of the head, which at least one doctor who had been in the operating room in Dallas subsequently, upon viewing the photo, said was not there when they tried to resuscitate the president at the original scene of the crime. An incision that tried to cover up for the official story, that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone gunman that terrible day in Dallas, when a cabal of very powerful people brazenly assassinated the president of the United States. In plain sight.

That day, powerful people on the 'right' of politics in America got away, literally, with murder. And today, powerful people on the 'left' of politics in America are getting away, figuratively (and in some cases, literally as well), with murder.** With the arrogant collapse of the rule of law, into a state of despotism.

Which has, at the top of the pyramid of power, the same perps in both instances.

People who would be gods.

I have news for them.

Their days are numbered.

And if I were them, I would tremble.

Because God will not be mocked.

And part of the cleansing of the house of American politics will, as I indicate, include both sides of the political aisle. For they are both involved in the crime being committed, right now; and the crimes which have been committed over the years, in a remake of the Roman Republic-cum-Empire.

A pox on both their houses. It's time for The People to rise up and take back their power, over their corrupt leaders. Whom they should have kept a better eye on.

So there are lessons to be learned, all around this point in time. Of the cleaning of the Augean stables.

Which will include the whole truth coming out about 9/11. And. And. And...

...because

it's time.

P.S. You had your chance, Dianne; former collegemate of mine. And you blew it.

The Time Has Come - cont'd

2011-08-20T21:51:00.010+01:00

In the wake of the London riots, Tanya Gold in the pages of today's Guardian has written a paean to single mums.

What?!

To criticisms of feral children, she replied, in part: “A sane government would provide cheap child care, of course...”

With all due respect, Tanya: Why would “a sane government” support family breakdown, by concentrating its efforts on the ‘curative’ end of things rather than the preventive end?? Unless it wanted to bring the children up in its image, like the totalitarian states of Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. Otherwise, one has good reason to conclude that simply paying benefits for females having babies - in mindset effect, in order for them to have babies ‘on the house’ - is closer to the definition of insanity. It’s as if they want to have their cake and eat it, too: having children without consideration of, care for, the father, or fathers. Having a way of life, living on ‘benefits’.

Ah, but in reading further on in her article, I see what she is gettting at. And that there is an agenda here, beyond just some mothers enjoying freebies.

She says that only 3% of single mums are teenagers, with the average age of such mothers being 37 (and the majority - 55% - had had their children within marriage). And her next point is: “...and force companies to offer jobs with flexible working hours.”

She now gives away her case. She does refer to abusive spouses, as one reason for older women becoming single mums. But are there that many abusive spouses out there? Or is this a pleading for, preference for, a man-free household. As a societal ideal for some.

And why would the state want to support a state of dysfunctionality? Just because some women want to have children but not spouses?? And that’s pretty tough to do; so the state should support them in that preferred lifestyle???

“But they [the perpetrators of this outrageous situation] are not in the business of solutions. They want punishment,” she concludes. Punishment, of...whom, Tanya.

She refers to such as witches of olde. Women of an independent streak. Strong women. Like her. Like - lesbians.

Her whole case, then, in pointing a finger at the ‘dysfunctionality’ of the government and its ministers, in not providing properly for ‘single mums’, is based on her gender orientation, and ‘feminist’ - ie, women’s lib - philosophy.

She wants the state - ie, the taxpayers - to help such strong women have children without the bother of the presence of the sperm donor. And I say that that is immoral.

It is immoral, not because lesbians are ‘immoral’, but because she would have the taxpayers pay for her desired social structure. And beyond her personal gender orientation, and sexual-freedom philosophy, it is the same immorality engendered in heterosexual females when thinking to have ‘the state’ - the taxpayers, let us never forget - pay for those ‘single mums’ to have babies on their dime. So we have come full circle, back to the phenomenon of a body of females thinking to have babies without full regard for the welfare OF those children, in being born into poverty and lack of role-model circumstances.

I addressed this issue in a Letter to the Editor of the Guardian this past week. I’ll quote it first, and then comment further, on the issues here.

“Dear Editor,

“(The name of a letter writer) has hit the nail right on the head regarding the riots (Letters, 16 August). This outcome has been pending for years, ever since the UK made the mistake of paying females to have babies that they weren’t prepared to be able to take care of properly. It has been a form of child abuse, aided and abetted by a state with misplaced sympathies. The sympathies would better have been directed to the bleak lives of such children, many of whom are now the parents and grandparents of similarly afflicted children, permanently on welfare.

“The state should make contraceptive information available to the poor, and even provide contraceptive materials either free or at low cost. But ‘not one cent for tribute’ - money from taxpayers many of whom can‘t even afford to have their own children, and are being responsible in that life situation by not having them. And soon, when females too poor to be having children in such conditions finally get that - that they’re not to get any money (or housing) from the state for having any - this problem, of rootless and poverty-stricken children striking out at an ’unfair’ world, will become a thing of the past.

“In the meantime, of course give such children who are already in the situation as much social support as the society can afford. But it’s time and past to start spending an ounce of prevention over a pound of cure.

Yours sincerely” (etc)

It is a shortsighted society that thinks that one-parent households can work in the long run. Give those mothers child benefits, and council houses, and food stamps, and other ‘benefits’ (let's call them what they are: freebies), and think that they will ever get off ‘the dole’, is crazy. It is more than that. It is, as I said above: immoral.

In the States recently this issue has come up in a big way, in discussions around ‘job creation’, which has revealed that there is a welfare-mentality class that doesn’t want a job to interfere in their cushy way of life. The federal government, it appears, has passed legislation that gives children on welfare free mobile phones, and access to the internet, and such perks, because, well, because they shouldn’t be deprived of things that support their wellbeing, or some such argument.*

This is all getting very dangerous. Not just in the way of partisanship - and how Obama has quietly used Executive Orders to bring millions of (Muslim) Afghanis to America, and housed and supported them, and the same for Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, and now has declared a partial Amnesty to illegal aliens; thus diluting the voting strenth of ‘the right’ against this attempted leftwing takeover of the nation. But in the way of the mentality being created by it.

Believing that it’s okay not to work because food stamps and unemployment payments provide a stimulus to the economy is sophistry.** If you don’t become a part of the provision of goods and services to the economy, then you are a leach, feeding off of the lifeblood of others. You may rationalize your action, or to say the lack of, by pointing a finger at the ‘owner class’, including the bankers, and saying that they are ‘doing it’, too, ie, ripping off ‘the system’; but that is all that is: a rationalization. It is their karma. You are responsible for your own.

And are responsible for your old age. If you don’t work, how are you going to earn the money to put in the pot for your retirement years? Oh - the government will pay for that, too? Really? Do you really not understand that ‘the government’ has no money of its own, only has (besides borrowing debt money, which has to be paid by succeeding generations) the money the citizens pay in in taxes; and if more of those citizens take your lead and don’t work, and thus don’t pay in to the pot, there will be no pot??

It’s time for some very clear thinking on these matters, which should result in the awareness that, in a phrase, ‘there is no such thing as a free lunch’. Somebody has to pay for it, in the end. And it is immoral to think, and teach, otherwise.

Socialists think that their way will create a better world. But we will not be able to get to The Promised Land - to a better way of social being on this planet, than the current one, dominated by the training wheels of interest-bearing money on the one hand and fractional-reserve banking on the other - if we don’t realise the importance of each of us taking responsibility for the functioning of the system; at the minimum, of our own personal responsibility, in contributing our efforts to keep it going. And our best efforts, if we care for our own personal development - our own spiritual evolvement, to our fullest potential.

We are spiritual beings having a human experience. Let’s get to the purpose - to the focus - to the end result - of the exercise. That requires each of us to play our part. Not to expect anyone else - individual or government - to do it for us.

Having said all this; and as for those high-and-mighty examplers, the bankers and benefits-cheating ministers and such, who have their own karma to clear: the fish is rotten from the head. Innit.

* A poster on one thread to an article on this subject told the story of how the person in the supermarket queue in front of him bought around a hundred dollars’ worth of groceries with food stamps and then an additional large purchase of alcohol and such with cash, and when he queried the person why she used food stamps, she said that they were “from Obama” and it was none of his business anyway. Of course not. If you think that your food stamps come “from Obama,” instead of from the taxpayers...

And this reminds me of another chilling story from ’the left’ - this one from many years ago, during the Kennedy administration years. The Left was having a golden opportunity then, too; and one of the ways that it was trying for takeover and remake into a socialist system (with its euphemism, 'redistribution of wealth'. That is, stealing from the better well-off to give to the less well-off, because 'they're worth it') was via the education pathway. We have seen how some primary schools have been hyping Obama in their classrooms, as a Dear Leader: in those earlier days, one technique was the development of such primary-school picture-readers as the one that told the story about one squirrel talking to another squirrel, who was busy gahering nuts for the winter, and telling him that he didn’t have to do that; because “the little boy who lives in the white house” (complete with picture of such) would take care of them.

Squirrely, indeed.

** being actively encouraged by the Obama administration and left-wing members of Congress. The socialists are getting very brazen in their actions. Which, in a way, is a good thing: It is all getting more obvious, to an electorate which, by and large, has not been fully aware of the extent of the takeover going on.

The sheep is close enough now for the flock to see the outlines of the wolf underneath that benign exterior.

The Time has Come, the Walrus Said...

2011-08-13T21:43:00.005+01:00

...to talk of many things; of ships and shoes and ceiling wax, of cabbages and kings.'

Let's talk specifically about 'jobs'. This blog is going to cover current events in both the U.S. and the UK. First the U.S..

The U.S. is involved in a huge debate over its national debt. It stands at $14.2 trillion, and counting. (Some say it is really larger, and much larger, than that.) Firstly, to say: the U.S. will never be able to pay that debt off. The nation is, technically, bankrupt. A bit of Kabuki theatre is going on over there, and in the rest of the world, on this matter. But just to look at one aspect of the matter here, having to do with jobs.

Both sides of the political aisle want to be seen as on the side of creating jobs. But a fundamental difference in attitude towards accomplishing that feat is mirrored in the political differences between the right and the left in looking at how to tackle The Debt. The hard right says to tackle it exclusively by cutting spending; the hard left, by raising taxes, especially (or exclusively) on the wealthy; with most people at various positions in between. The 'right' (roughly speaking) feels that the 'left' has had it too good for too long, in getting the federal government to spend too much on 'the little guy', and especially the welfare-mentality category, and also especially through the power of the unions; the latter phenomenon causing many business owners to locate overseas, for their labor-costs advantages. So the 'right' wants to break the power of the unions, which they feel have not been realistic in the economic terms of recent decades, and especially since the Recession of 2008. The 'left' (roughly speaking) feels that the 'right' cares only for themselves, and are sitting smugly pretty, with their bank bonuses and such, while the little guy is forced to take on the bulk of the spending cuts now required to get the federal debt into some semblance of control. Both sides of the political equation, then, feel hard done by events.

But they also see the arcane 'science' of 'economics' itself differently. The right says: Cut taxes on the job-creators, and more jobs will be created, and there will also be more revenue coming in to pay down the debt, because economic activity will thereby have been stimulated; while left-wing economists seem to have more faith in the economic stimulation of more money pumped into the economy, either by 'quantitative easing' - creating money out of nothing (and thereby creating more debt, in interest on that funny money) - or by the federal government paying out monies in unemployment benefits, which then gets circulated directly into the 'main' economy, whereas letting the rich keep more of their money only goes to high-end economic activity. I may not have this difference in perception entirely correct, but it's roughly what I have read; and lets me get to what I really want to say.

Which is to highlight the dangers in both sides only listening to their sides of the arguments. Case in point: Today I received, amongst many other e-newsletters, one from a left-wing source in the U.S. on a strike going on there right now, and one from a right-wing source addressing the same strike, only with a different take on it. The company is called Verizon. The left (the Daily Kos) emphasizes how much money the handful of its highest honchos have made in the last few years and the profit the company made last year, and how the workers feel that they have a right to share in that success, and not be frozen out of the middle class in America; and the right (the Right to Work Foundation) emphasizes how the unions arrogantly take dues from their members and spend it as they wish, without regards to the rights of their members, OR the right of workers not to join the unions involved in the first place.

I signed the petition of the 'left', in drawing attention to how workers in America are facing a huge cut-back in their standard of living, at the same time as the management is being handsomely reimbursed for their services; and I also responded, with some appreciation of the argument, but also some caveat, in the Comments thread to the right-wing's article; which was entitled 'Union Strike Militancy and Violence on Display during Verizon Strike'. The tone of the other responses was decidedly anti-union. My comment, to another poster's anti-union rant:

"Workers have a right to collective bargaining, just as they have a right to sign individual contracts. Violence harms their cause. There are constructive ways to deal with these matters, and destructive ways. I don't want to see unions walking all over businesses, anymore than I want to see businesses walking all over their workers, and creating the 20:80 society of corporate-management infame. A strong middle class benefits us all, in the long run.

"Talk of sending'em to "a burger flipping joint" is no more helpful than a union worker putting his child in front of a vehicle to slow it down from crossing a picket line.

"Hopefully, cooler heads will prevail, on both sides of the issue. The bottom line is, as always: a right to be heard."

This same sort of thing was going on in Australia years ago, when I lived there; a union-busting mentality swinging into great action, as the corporate world had sensed its day had come; and it was when I was researching into the roots of these standoffs that I came across information about this '20:80 society' business, whereby Business Management 'experts' were pointing out to their managerial and business-oriented readership that we were reaching a point on the planet where there were going to be too many people capable of being gainfully employed - especially with the development of technology, throwing people out of jobs - and what was going to result was a 20:80 society, where 20% of the populace would be more than 'useless eaters', and 80% were going to be 'superfluous to needs'; and so the point was to pay the 20% handsomely for their loyalty to the system. And as for the 80%; well, there was always the possibility of a police state, to keep the peace, and therefore the scenario of a dystopian future on the planet.

And enter now comment on the current scene in the UK, where that 80% has been having a go - and a very violent one - at a society that sees them as 'superfluous to needs', and what will inevitably result from that attitude. And now as well for what I am getting at.

The point is, the old paradigm has to go. Indeed, technology is 'throwing people out of work'; and that scenario will continue. Creating pressure for a new way of looking at the social structure on the planet. Also because of the mindless creation of such a large number of people who are 'superfluous to needs'. And I say 'mindless creation of', because it has been social policies, in both the UK and the U.S., and other western countries, that have exacerbated the problem. The problem to their societies, and to the carrying capacity of the planet.

The bottom line: The states have been remiss in creating a welfare class, on into welfare generations, by in effect paying young females to have babies that they haven't had the financial wherewithal to raise properly. It has been immoral to have children in poverty circumstances; it has also been immoral to take money from taxpayers - many of whom have not had enough of an income to have their own children, and so, responsibly, have not done so - to give to females without a sufficient income to take care of their child or children, to have such children on the taxpayers' coin.

When I have tried to figure out how this ever became a governmental policy, I have come across the argument that 'it is not the child's fault that he or she is born in poverty, so you can't blame them'. I certainly don't blame them. I blame their mothers, AND the society that led them to HAVE babies on the taxpayers' coin.

Let's get clear. No one is entitled to steal from any other person. A society can choose to spend its tax monies AS it chooses. But it should be aware of the ramifications of those choices. And especially when we are talking about people's lives.

And their properties. Which we have just seen go up in smoke in the UK, in fires lit by children born into poverty situations where their mothers, or parents, have not had sufficient income to raise them properly, but were seduced into having them anyway because of the society's short-sighted policies about 'child care'.

The society should have looked down the road to this sort of very possible outcome, of disaffected youth, with no decent job prospects - or jobs at all - and therefore no future. Except another generation living off of the taxpayers' coin.

How demeaning. And how short-sighted.

A road, paving, and good intentions come to mind.

An answer? The state could make contraceptive information available to those females who are not in a position to take care of a child properly; and could even choose to make contraceptive materials themselves available, at low or no cost. But not one cent for tribute; to say, as incentive to have a baby, or babies, dependent then on 'society'. To say, on individuals who have their own needs that they are often struggling to fulfil.

Having said all this, the answer - the more complete answer, besides just dismantling the welfare state, for its pernicious outcomes - is, as I said, a change in paradigm, where we do away with the current system, of interest-bearing money and the necessity for a 'job' in order to have 'income' - and go up a notch in consciousness, and thus create a better, healthier society on the planet, based on understanding, and fully accepting, our basic natures, as 'spiritual beings having a human experience'. But we need to have 'learned our lessons' along the way, in order to inherit such a kingdom.

And one of the most important lessons to have learned - in order for this evolutionary stage to come about - is the lesson of taking personal responsibility.

Of awareness of the outcomes of our actions. And taking responsibility for them.

Not expecting somebody else, or some thing else, to do 'it' for us.

Like giving us money to have babies. And then complaining, because that money given to us is not enough.

What a sorry state of affairs has been created, in this matter of the creation of a welfare class. Which has now become an affair - and a very great affair - of state.

Once we learn this lesson, and this sort of lesson - that we are responsible for our own actions - we can move on.

A great future awaits us, when we do.

But we have to earn it.

Scientific Dictatorship, Or...

2011-08-09T22:52:00.005+01:00

I feel like going on record on something at this point. It has to do with the theme of 'science based' this-and-that.

Back in the late 90s, whilst living in Australia, I noticed a 'move' appearing in the daily papers to establish an attitude of support for things being 'science based'. Science-based medicine meant, in effect: stop looking outside of the box, at 'complementary medicine' and such; pay attention only to science-based medicine, ie, medicine based on drugs and their expensive development. (Which 'natural' product developers can't afford to run. Thus goodbye, competition.) And when I moved back to Scotland, and wondered if I had prostate problems, and started reading up on it, I ran some of my 'findings' by my local GP, and got short shrift: they were really only interested in "science-based medicine".

Cut to this week, when a professor was widely quoted in the MSM as taking the BBC to task for presenting issues as if the 'minority' perspective deserved 'equal time' with the accepted, 'scientific' position. GM crops; the MMR/autism dispute; anthropogenic global warming/climate change - there was really no case for the flat-earthers. The debate was between sense and nonsense. The 'great weight of international scientific opinion' was on the side, of, well, science, and the other side of the 'debate' in each case was, well, rubbish. Not to be listened to. A waste of time.

And the proponents of this perspective do not want a waste of time, before their perspective takes over, in a Brave New World of their making.

Aldous Huxley's novel of the same name came out at the very time when there was a movement in the west called Technocracy, whereby the scientists and engineers behind it wanted to engineer a new world based on science, and their running of the operation. The money system was to be abolished, in the favour of money based on energy - its distribution and its consumption. Much like the carbon currency idea of today.

In fact...quite like that.

In fact...just like that.

And enter into the discussion at this point: the Global Smart Grid. Whereby everybody - soon - will be linked up to an energy web that determines how much energy they are using, and 'credits' them accordingly - including shutting down their energy-using machines if they have exceeded their quota. Or are just being troublemakers. Any excuse the authorities want to. Because society will no longer be 'government of, by, and for the people', but of, by, and for 'the experts'. The technicians, and their Masters.

And that is why the Constitution is being so severely challenged in America. From both sides of the political aisle. Because the Powers That Be at the top of the pyramid of power are the same. And Joe Blow is to be totally dependent on them for his life.

Not just his livelihood.

His very life.

To be. Or not to be.

It is the outcome desired by the members of a group called the Trilateral Commission; who have planned for some time for a 'New International Economic Order'. Which seems to be the same thing as that described by George Bush the First as the 'New World Order' By whatever name: the new structure for the world.

With the Global Smart Grid now in place for it.

As we speak.

And the likes of the North American Union ready to fall right into place in this scheme of things.

While the world looks at the current economic crisis. And scratches its head; and wonders how things will turn out.

The Powers That Be already have that all figured out.

..Almost.

Because there's just one thing missing from their best-laid plans.

It's not the end of the civilizational process. The culmination of the climb out of the cave, for humanity.

It's a part of the process.

It has value, in its essence.

It just needs one ingredient.

You can call it Spirit.

At least, that's what I call it.

And so should you. And relate to it.

And with that missing piece, the capstone is in place; for our bridge to the future.

Our true future.

And that ain't a scientific dictatorship; or any other sort of top-down monstrosity of a totalitarian, people-controlled-to-within-an-inch-of-their-lives system.

It's government of, by, and for The People. Who are the true inheritors of the Golden Age, just waiting to be born.

In its own good time.

On the other side of the process that we still have a ways to go through, yet.

To learn our lessons fully. Before we can move on.

Including into the heavens; that have been sealed off from us - all the rest of the teeming universe - until now.

Now, that we can come together truly as One.

And give thanks for the experience.

And know it as if for the first time.

'Just a Damn Piece of Paper' - Not

2011-08-04T22:42:00.007+01:00

I really have to comment, in putting together some dots in the news. Or rather, from Before It's News - ie, an enewsletter site, with interesting articles. Two of them:

(1) An ex-CIA agent, who was part of a team trying to alert the Bush administration in August of 2001 to intelligence info warning about a pending airliner attack on the WTC, and who spent five years under indictment and 1 year in prison for her pains - under the terms of that same administration's pushed-through Patriot Act - recounting her story, under the title 'The Missing Security Tapes From the World Trade Center'. Reporting, amongst other important matters, on mysterious teams of workers coming to the WTC parking garage after the janitorial crews had left, in the time period leading up to 9/11. Her conclusion: The GOP leadership was involved in that atrocity. (P.S. Involved in the security company for the WTC block was a Bush family member.) The result of 9/11: the war in Iraq, and access to its oil; the War on Terror, and huge profits for such companies as VP Cheney's Halliburton; and the Patriot Act, whereby dangerous people - like whistleblowers - could be put out of harm's way. Into prison. Like this woman. (Who at least has been able to tell her story in a book, titled 'Extreme Prejudice: The True Story of the Patriot Act And the Cover Ups of 9/11 and Iraq'.)

(2) A blog by an investment advisor, titled 'The Next Crisis Is At Our Doorstep'. My response speaks for itself:

"Comments

"Posted by (Anonymous)
"And so you're recommending how people can make money on the collapse of the system. Capitalists eating their children.

"'Good investing' - in what. A Dead Man Walking?

"P.S. Do you really believe the Fed's role was 'to get the economy roaring in no time'?? The Fed's role was to bring about the crisis. They couldn't have been as dumb as they were, except on purpose."

Let's be clear. America is being taken down, not by terrorists with box cutters, but with weapons like thermite/thermate, and the power to collapse the economy. To further their end. Which is the establishment of a New World Order, in their image. Which is the image of fascism. Aka corporatism.

And hence the reason why the GOP has failed to be a proper opposition party in calling Obama on his lack of eligibility to hold the office that he is in. Because he is a placeman of theirs. To bring about the same end.

And that is why the American public has to stop hoping, and wishing, that the Republicans will do something about Obama's lack of proper bona fides for that office.

He has been parachuted into the job.

And is jailing whistleblowers under the terms of the Patriot Act.

Just like his predecessor in the job...

People, people. These are criminals running the country. And the world.

Stop looking to them for your salvation.

Look within yourselves.

And start acting like you deserve to be the government By taking it back from these criminals in high places. Who are about to collapse the Constitution around your ears. With the Homeland Security 'feds' taking over power unconstitutionally from state and local officers; and all the rest of The Scenario, that is running over the Constitution - the rule of law - like with a tank.

Let's see what you are really made of.

The Debt Debate: A Sign of Things Coming to a Head?

2011-08-02T15:54:00.005+01:00

So the great Debt Debate is resolved. For now.

What do I see, over here in the UK, about what is going on, in the U.S., and the UK. And the world, for that matter. But first things first.

I see a change coming. But I also see a change having already happened.

When the political situation in the U.S. is explained, to 'the Brits', through the media, the position of 'the Tea Party' adherents is made out to be very old-fashioned, in its core call for smaller government and fiscal responsibility; the latter equated, for them, with moral rectitude. But over the decades - centuries - a sea change has happened: the capitalist system, with its two-valve engine of interest-bearing money and fractional-reserve banking,* has resulted in people thinking it is perfectly fine to go into debt, because that is how that system works. Money is debt, in its very nature, in such a system.** And people like bankers and brokers make 'big money' by borrowing big; and thus 'creating wealth'. And the little guy, seeing this, starts to feel that he has been sold a bill of goods, when he is told he has to 'live within his means', but sees that that is not, really, how the system works; and so he starts scamming the system just like the big guys do. Spend, spend!, and let tomorrow take care of itself.

Sooner or later, the chickens come home to roost. As we are seeing, all over the world. But in the meantime, an ethical attitude towards 'money' has been seduced into almost total non-existence. As exemplified in the current 'debt' debate in the U.S., between the camp that says the issue is one of spending, and the one that says the issue is one of revenue. The former camp sees all the waste, and considered waste - like 'welfare cheats' - going on, of their tax money, and the latter camp sees the tax cuts and fiddles allowed to the rich, and 'those who can afford' to give more to the revenue side.

The glass is either half full or half empty, depending on how you look at it.

That latter camp hangs in tough, to get at least some of the benefis of the system for themselves, not just for the fat cats. And the 'moral rectitude' camp sees this as sponging off their own hard-earned income. And both sides fail to see the larger picture; having had their eye taken off the ball, to mix metaphors.

I addressed all this in an email this week to a friend, fellow expatriate, who sent me the comments of a (UK) Channel 4 correspondent based in Washington, D.C., in relation to the great Debt debate in that country. She posted a blog on the matter wherein she referred to a scene in the political series The West Wing, on the same subject; the fictional repartee very appropriate to the real-life situation, if rather cynical, in referring to the debt-ceiling scenario being "routine or the end of the world". My friend asked me if I agreed with that series segment's ho-hum, nothing-new take on the subject. I responded:

"Ah yes: the annual (or whatever) Kabuki theatre about The Debt.

"You asked me my opinion about The Matter. On the one hand, I'm a traditionalist, it would probably be called. You live within your means. And especially when some clever s.o.b.'s engineered the situation, so that they could make a bundle in interest payments on 'the full faith and credit of' the stupid sheep, who don't realise fully how they are being sheared by their erstwhile Masters, the classic, through-the-eons 'moneychangers'.*** I'm with the likes of Thomas Jefferson and Andy Jackson on this one.+ (And now ironic that is: the two main totems of the Democratic party, supposedly the party standing against the fat-cat moneyed elite & their big-spending habits - the main one being wanting to make money ON money- but in our day and age the party of the big spenders, in the 'redistribution of wealth' game; wherein the whole lot of'em, both sides of the political aisle, have been seduced into 'getting while the getting is good': the name of the game in Washington.) And with Ron Paul, in his impassioned but lonely call for an audit of The Fed. Actually, he would do better by calling for its outright dismissal, and the Treasury printing its own money; subject to the knowledge, and wisdom, gained by hard experience.++ Me, I'd clean out the Augean stables, root and branch, and start over. But with a twist. And that brings me to

"On the other hand, it's time for more than just a clean-out of the stables. It's time for a change in the basic template, of how we 'do business' on planet Earth. Through a releasing of 'money' - of interest-bearing money, and its training-wheels partner, fractional-reserve banking - and a moving into the truly post-modern world. The world where people give in goods and serbvices to one another, and of their best in human ingenuity, out of a superior motive than that of merely 'making money'. Out of the motive of, in a word, Love; to say, more specifically, out of gratitude to our Creator for life with meaning. And the full realisation that We Are One Another anyway. Now a prince, now a pauper. Now one race or nationality or sex, now another. In the school of Life; where we learn our lessons, and move on.

"Are supposed to move on. And not get mesmerized and captured by the fools' gold of money, and power. Which we are certainly witnessing a lot of, these days. More's the pity.

"Well. They say that it's always the darkest before the dawn.

"I hope we wake up to that awareness, from this waking dream that we are walking through, in time. Anyway: them's my thoughts on the subject..."

And a final note, at this point: In today's paper I see that in China, in a huge electronics manufacturing 'warehouse', where great numbers of Chinese men and women drudge away for little money (which was the reason the plant was located there in the first place), the management is looking to replace many of them with robots. The whole process triggered by some suicides, which put pressure on the management to raise their wages, which caused the management to look at their sums, and....

the rest, as they say, is history.

But now, history "with a twist". How about thinking outside of the box. And letting
robots take over more and more of the drudge work in life. To free people for more creative pursuits. Because their 'income' is not dependent on earning 'money'. It is dependent basically on being a member of the one human family, now going up a notch in consciousness.+++

I addressed this theme recently in a short essay; to wit:

We Are One

Once humanity as whole awakens - really awakens - to the reality of reincarnation, and its implications - that therefore we are just playing parts in a drama; for, obviously, a reason, since a drama implies/is the material evidence of an Author - they will release the drama and move closer to the real thing: aware, then, that we are but sparks off of One Source. Parts of a Whole. That, in truth, We Are One Another. That, in further truth, We Are One.

Some of those sparks will be more willing to release their roles than others willing to release theirs; the latter having become comfortable in the particular role, and of a lesser consciousness than some of those others. The 'stuck', thus more acclimatized to their roles, still climbing out of the cave of their individuated identity. But there comes a time when the Whole can and will begin to act AS a Whole.

This is that time, for this stream-family of souls, awakening to their true identity, behind the masks of the illusion that we are in. The masks belonging TO that illusion. That hologram. That matrix.

So. We have work to do; a larger work than any heretofore, on planet Earth.

Let's be about it.

Circumstances of the collapse of the old paradigm, the old reality - the stage on which we have been playing out the drama - will force us to do so anyway.

A thought you might be entertaining: What has it been all about, really?

My thought, in response, and reflection on the matter: that the Whole is growing with the growth in consciousness that we as its parts bring to It, from our experiences at one remove from the Whole, in the realm of free will, ie, in our individuated states of being; our individuated soul states.

But then that's just conjecture. What is beyond conjecture is the realisation that, with the detectable phenomenon of reincarnation (detectable from material confirmations, dreams, healings based on its 'insights' regarding the human psyche, etc.), there is Plan in and Purpose to 'the universe'. To the exercise, that we are engaged in.

Could that Plan in actual fact be a malevolent one, instead of a benevolent one?

I would seriously doubt that to be the case. If only for the fact that we experience Love, and Joy, as higher, more sublime states & emotions than Hate, and Anger.

I'd bet my life on it.

There may be some creatures in the universe - the matrix - that, having gotten stuck IN the matrix (having identified too much with their roles in the drama), find the more gross emotions more fitting, more desirable to their level of consciousness. If so - and there is a considerable amount of evidence to that effect - the best thing we can do for them is to send them Love, to help them out of the trap they have created for themselves, and further on their way.

For Love is the key, the Way, out of the illusion. Love for the Whole. Love for ourselves as part of the Whole. And forgiveness OF ourselves, for having dallied in the classroom, and failed to graduate sooner; mesmerized by the magnets of the moment, in the material realm.

So, then, let's turn that Key; and walk into the light of a new day, dawning for all of humanity. For all of us on planet Earth. On Being Earth. As it, too, readies for - in a word - Ascension.

But that's another subject, in the exercise in which we are involved.

The exercise of consciousness raising. Of getting closer, and closer, to

the One. Of which we are, now, but a part.

But getting There. Which is Here, in fuller consciousness.

For We already Are

the One.

And the One we have been waiting for.

* I actually think of these as training wheels: what has apparently been needed to help Man have the incentive to produce 'wealth'. Not understanding that he already has it within himself to produce all that he needs, and more. But I digress. A bit.

** A good read, in this regard: 'Web of Debt' by Ellen Hodgson Brown.

*** Reference is to the Federal Reserve, a creature of the moneyed elite, who bought their way back into power in the U.S. through legislation enacted in 1913, along with an amendment to the U.S Constitution enacting an income tax, to pay for the hordes of interest-created money they saw accruing before their very eyes, when they could, gently gently, over a period of time, seduce the U.S. public into paying for more and more goodies. Like wars. See in particular 'The Creature of Jekyll Island' by G. Edward Griffin.

+ T. Jefferson warned the American people in no uncertain terms about the encroachment into power in the fledgling republic of the moneyed elite; Andrew Jackson saw it all happening in his day, and managed to turf them out of power, by eliminating the national bank that the 'moneychangers' had managed to put in place. With a little help from their friends in politics; who they have continued to buy off ever since, in this ongoing struggle, of the Elite over the Mass.

++ One of the selling points about the Federal Reserve at the time was that politicians couldn't be trusted with the handling of money, since they would have continual pressure put on them by their constituents to spend more money, so the federal government needed a 'safer', professional set of hands holding the purse-strings. That way the big boom-and-bust waves that had afflicted the country many times could be 'scientifically' ironed out, with monetary policy measures. As we have, of course, seen since. Oh wait. Wrong.

+++ With things of limited amounts - ie, not enough for all - dealt with by individuals earning credits for their services to the societal Order. But not in the classic way, with interest-bearing money, where people do things FOR 'the money'; incentivized BY 'the money'. Rather than by Love.

For the Record - Just in Time

2011-07-29T16:36:00.008+01:00

I've just been involved in a bit of a controversy in the house where I live (a workshop & residence centre, part of a spiritual community that runs educational programmes) that had to do with a discrepancy in time between the battery-powered clock in the entranceway and the main, radio-controlled clock in the centre of the building, just by the Reception desk. The latter is the clock that we basically go by, being the correct time, but a guest felt misled when the clock in the entranceway indicated that our bus over to the other side of the community left too early, causing her to miss it. The switching-around of available clocks in the house that ensued left some bad feelings in the way it was handled, and, for at least one of the participants in the drama, the feeling that it was all a bit of a tempest in a teapot. His email comment on the kerfuffle started with an ironic 'What a fun thing to focus on at these times of changes'. I found myself replying to his email thusly: "I think it's interesting, in the larger scheme of things. The 'message' here, in its essence, is: It's time. Pay attention to the time."

That 'time' included, for me, a very disturbing article this week on the Internet about the risks scientists are taking in creating chimeras, ie, crosses between human DNA and animal DNA. For good, scientific reasons, having to do with human organ transplants and such. But it would appear that it is being engaged in recklessly, without dutiful regulation, and concern for the potential adverse outcomes, from 'mad scientists' simply doing their thing, beyond the concerns of humanity. Humanity, to them, often being a nuisance, in the pursuit of 'pure science'.

Or impure.

The bottom line: Just because you can do something doesn't mean that you should do something.

I was reminded, in this context, of the value in our day and age of the Internet. Before this 'time' - the time of massive informational access by all - 'they' could get away with things because 'they' controlled the media. The Spanish-American War at the turn of the 20th century was a Hearst-papers-inspired caper. The Lusitania-sinking story by a German U-boat inveigled the U.S. into the European war (subsequently known as WWI). Pearl Harbor. The Tonkin Gulf 'incident'. Etc etc: the work of manipulators of the human psyche, to accomplish their ends. Those ends being, in a nutshell: money and power.

Well; no more. We are entering into a new era. The era of information, on the one hand. And of transformation, on the other.

A transformation of consciousness on Earth. And, consequently, of societal structure.

A New Age. Brought about by the leaving of money behind, in the establishing of a higher motive for 'doing' than the relatively immature one of 'making money'. Releasing the training wheels of interest-bearing money and fractional-reserve banking, and being motivated to provide goods and services to one another, and give of our best to one another, out of, in a word, Love. Out of gratitude to our Creator for life with meaning.

And thus leaving the realm of 'drama' behind - of playing parts in a drama. Taking turns playing the different parts. Creating karma in the process. Which is keeping us from the real purpose to the whole exercise.

Which is to return to Source, the better for the experience of separation.

The Prodigal Son, returning. And being feasted in the return. Having found his way out of the thicket of Illusion, mesmerized by such distractions and mental magnets as money, and sex, and power.

Kids' stuff. We're ready, now, for graduation.

Because

it's time.

---

How do I feel about 'it' - all the horror and pain and trash that accrues from allowing the space for free will?

Yes, it's painful. Yes, it has its horrors. But I am an advocate of free will, still. And its overarching lesson, that 'Without a vision, the people perish'. Wander in the woods; can't find their way out easily, so decide to stay in the view-deprived thicket. Until they come to their better senses. One by one. And then exponentially. With the help of high-tech communication forms.

Time to release the drama, and inherit the real thing.

Knowing, that we are not totally innocent in all that has happened. If we were, it wold never have happened.

There is Justice in the universe.

Judge not, lest ye be judged.

Because we each have played all the parts possible.

And now, it's time for the Return.

To Unity.

Oneness.

Knowing the place as if for the first time.

The News of the World: Dysfunctional

2011-07-21T21:08:00.006+01:00

Sometimes the daily news delivers stories in bunches, that make me very wrathful.

Item. In the Guardian national newspaper there appeared today an article reporting on a review done by a university professor and a university group (Question: Are there any universities today, in either the UK or the U.S., that are free from corporate taint? Businesses paying for chairs and research, and therefore buying influence??) on the BBC's handling of scientific matters. My angry response, which reflects the basic tenor of the article:

"Dear Editor,

"[Professor Steve] Jones likened the BBC approach to oppositional debates to asking a mathematician and maverick biologist what two plus two equals. When the mathematician says four and the maverick says five, the public are left to conclude that the answer is somewhere in between" (BBC giving too much weight to fringe views in science, review finds, 21 July). And this is supposed to be the unbiased point of view of "an independent review" of this matter?

"I would liken this so-called independent review to a group that hears one side of a scientific case and says, 'Well, that's it, then,' and closes shop. Anyone who has studied these three given issues in any decent depth - climate change, GM crops and the MMR vaccine safety - would know that there is serious doubt over the proponents' cases.

"Shall we not pay any attention to the recent headlines about undue corporate activity in the printed media either, then? The plain fact of the matter is that power buys its way wherever it can - and tries to buy silence from its opposition; or, barring that, tries ridicule. Long may the BBC try to hold true impartiality on such matters.

"Yours sincerely, (etc.)"

The "recent headlines" reference is to the storm that has built up in the UK over unfolding reports about the extent of corruption involving one of the papers of the Murdoch stable, where certain reporters, with management permission - and goading - paid for illegal wiretaps on all manner of individuals, and included the police in their shenanigans, and potentially some politicians, with hard questions being asked in a parliamentary hearing right up to the PM level. And an interesting side-note here, for those who have ears to hear, is that another of the Murdoch stable's papers is the (London) Sunday Times, which hounded a 'whistleblower' named Dr. Andy Wakefield out of his gastroenterology practice in the UK over concerns expressed in a study he was involved with regarding gut damage in autism-diagnosed children shortly after being given the MMR shot (or 'jab' as the procedure is known as over here in the UK). Sitting on the board of the Sunday Times is one James Murdoch, son of capo ti capo Rupert. James also happens to sit on the board of one of the MMR jabs' manufacturers - and one that got the UK government quietly to indemnify it of any possible claims against its safety. You have heard of sweetheart deals? How sweet this one is.

But let me move on, to another paper of the day; this one a Scottish paper, The (Glasgow) Herald, which carried two articles of particular note regarding this little review of mine, of Life in Our Day. The first was the tragic story of a former actress who was afflicted with alcoholism, manic depression ('bipolar disorder', as it is known in our day), and outright depression, and who finally had had enough, choosing to drink from a bottle of drain cleaner, dousing herself with the rest of it, and throwing herself down the steps to her house, fracturing her spine and killing herself in the process of the whole anguished cry for help.

Help was known about years ago. Years - ago. Taking just alcoholism. Alcoholism was known about years ago - years - ago - as being associated with hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar. The brain calls out for sugar; and some feed their brain's need - aka 'habit', or 'craving' - with alcohol. But that is just exacerbating the problem. The answer is to try to uncover the cause of the low blood sugar condition. It was discovered years ago - years - ago - that the main cause of the problem was a weakened set of adrenal glands, whose job it is, among others, to control the levels of insulin being produced by the pancreas. If the adrenal glands are weakened, they do not control that level; it gets overproduced, thus taking more glucose out of the bloodstream than is 'normal' or healthy, and consequently producing a cry from the brain for 'sugar' - when what is really needed is to strengthen the adrenals; or the person gets on a roller coaster of blood glucose levels spiking and dropping precipitously (causing, among other results, blackout, or coma). The adrenals are strengthened by such treatment as protein and vitamin B complex. They are weakened by stress - prolonged stress; the condition otherwise known as adrenal exhaustion.

How come the public doesn't know about this. It has been known about for years. For - years.

Could it have anything to do with such facts as too great a nexus between the media and the corporate world? The latter including - especially - the pharmaceutical industry? The whole vested-interests package known as the medical-pharmaceutical-government-media complex??

The other article was about Alzheimer's disease, pointing out how its numbers continue to swell, with, now, about 36 million people worldwide its victims, and growing. Which reminded me of a posting I made on a blog a couple of days ago. This was on an e-newsletter site known as Utah Stories, which I monitor (place of birth), and which carried a story by a carer couple of Alzheimer's patients, and the importance of such action. My comment:

"Fair enough take on the matter. But 'the real work at hand'??

"I'm thinking of the story of the man who was walking along a river one day when he heard a cry for help coming from it. Looking over he saw a young child struggling in the middle, being taken downstream. He quickly took off his shoes and dived in, swam out and got hold of the child, and dragged the exhausted child to the water's edge. While catching his breath, he heard another cry for help from the river, and saw another child struggling in the current. He dove back in, and managed to drag the second child to the river's edge; when he heard another cry for help from the river. Just then another adult came walking by. He said to the person: 'You dive in, and try to save that child; but I'm going upstream to get the (blankety-blank) who's throwing these kids in.'

"It does not make good sense to concentrate merely on care, and leave 'cure' to 'the experts'. 'The experts' have, by and large, failed miserably in this matter. Allopathic medicine - drug-based medicine - does not have sufficient incentive to find cures & give good preventive advice for such terrible conditions as AD. There ARE treatments for it, which get closer to the causal level, not just 'maintenance' medicine. Folic acid, to lower the levels of homocysteine. Another of the B complex: vitamin B3. Omega-3 efa's (esp. DHA). Sage extract; lemon balm; turmeric/circumin. Chelating to get rid of mercury and aluminum from the brain cells. The list goes on.

"This is a scandal of major proportions. Well done for the good work that you folks are doing in the arena of care. But be aware that there is another part of this picture that is just as important as yours - and more. An ounce of prevention being worth a pound of 'care'."

The carer wouldn't be interested in this take on the matter because he makes/they make a living by caring for such people? Come on, folks. Let's look at the bigger picture here.

The bigger picture, that shows us that we are on a wrong path in life. We should be existing in a social structure that reflects the logic of an ounce of prevention being worth a pound of cure. That does not equate the healthier the economy with the sicker the citizenry. That does not cause media magnates to get in bed with politicians and other members of the corporate elite, who want to make the world safe for fascism.

It's time - and past - for a change.

A big change.

And it all has to do with money. And the making of which being the driving force for the society.

Come on, folks.

Look.

Look hard.

Look harder, than people are - generally - doing at present; at life in Our Day. Because

It's time.

The Powers That Be - Not

2011-07-16T22:06:00.016+01:00

In an interesting wrinkle on the con job explained in the book 'Confessions of an Economic Hit Man' by John Perkins - whereby international financial bodies, in the control of powers in the U.S., got developing countries to borrow big money from them for infrastructure projects (requiring U.S. companies to do the work), and then used the resulting debt as a lever to pry their way into the countries and take control of their resources, etc. - I see that the Powers That Be are still at their job of taking over the world. This particular instance is through the ploy of something that was originally called the World Conservation Bank, but apparently is now known as the Global Environmental Facility. A rose by any other name: It is the handiwork of PTB like the Rothschilds and Rockefellers, who, once again taking advantage of the financial needs of Developing Countries for their own personal gain, buy up the debt of such countries and then, in exchange, take over the land and resources therein. Sweet. It's called buying up the world, country by country.

It is part of an agenda called Agenda 21, a UN-sponsored programme for world control, through whatever means necessary. This agenda needs the elimination of a major stumbling block to the best-laid schemes of the PTB behind it all: the U.S. as a sovereign political entity, with something called its Constitution. Simply put: If the 'rule of law' won't allow them to take over control of the world, then so much for the rule of law: they'll create their own law.

And so they have put a placeman in power in the U.S., in the presidential seat. (Actually, they have put in that place several; but to keep this blog short, I'll refer just to the present such resource.) Obama - or whatever his real name is - is there to help bring down the American Republic, and put in its place a mere 'regional' player in his Masters' New World Order. If he can do it through the Congress (and as many bought resources therein as the PTB can muster), fine. If he can't, fine: he is to do it through such shady means as Executive Orders (EOs), and Presidential Directives (PDs), and Executive branch rules and regulations. And part of that avenue to power for them is to weaken the American people's resistance through a dilution of the American 'stock', in keeping the borders - and especially the southern border - porous. Allowing illegal aliens in who will be used as a Fifth Column to vote for massive federal spending projects, in order ultimately to bankrupt the American Republic, and let the PTB pick up the resulting pieces.*

How else to explain such bits of information as the recent story about the Obama administration's 'nudging' into being of the selling of weapons to shady arms dealers, who took them down to Mexico and sold them to drug barons, and some of which were subsequently used to kill some border agents? I'll speed this up: There was a cover story to that caper. But a main consequence could well have been to use the resulting mayhem as cause to pass more strict federal gun legislation, making it easier to confiscate the American public's constitutional 'right to keep and bear arms'.

There's that 'Constitution' stumbling block again. Got to go, in terms of the PTB's mentality.

Where do I stand in all this?

I would agree that the U.S. governments have made a mistake in the past in letting illegal aliens settle in the country, and start availing themselves of various services designed for U.S. citizens. It is wrong to allow that. The American taxpayer has no obligation to pay for such largesse. Americans have every right to have their borders protected. But there is a larger 'wrong' going on here. That is of the intentioned collapse of the American Republic - of government of, by, and for 'the people'. NOT the wealthy elite, who have in mind grandiose delusions of controlling the world, for the benefit OF a favoured elite.

I could go on, in the vein of what I would do, in governing the country. But my main point in this blog is not to list all the actions of a setting-to-rights of the socio-political scene that I would engage in, or that needs to be engaged in. (It involves as well the elimination of the interest-bearing money system, in letting their corrupt creation collapse, and introducing a better, more holistic way of being social beings together on carrying Planet Earth.) It is to try to get beneath the surface of this matter - this matter, in its essence, of the free will of Man.

Simply put: We are all responsible for the state of things.

Yes, I can get angry at the arrogance of these our self-appointed Masters. Yes, I can want to throw their money-changing tables out of the temple of Life. But what's really going on here??

Many of their actions are to be deplored; etc etc. And having said all that: Maybe some of the individuals who are acting arrogant in the present had injustices done to them in the past and are just ‘getting even’, in karmic retribution.

We can’t know what all is in the hearts of individuals as to why they do what they do. At least some of that is environmentally determined. But what, really, does that mean? For example: Why do some children succumb to ADD and ADHD and autism spectrum disorder and dyslexia and dyspraxia and so forth, and some not? Yes, there are genetic factors at work. But why were those particular souls attracted into those particular bodies, with those particular susceptibilities?? Presumably - given that there is Plan in and Purpose to ’the universe’, ie, to the life experience - because there were certain lessons to be learned by those particular souls (and teachings given to others).

In any event: Ours is not to reason why. Ours is to clean up our environmental living situation as best we can, in order for it to reflect more purely the world of spirit; of our true home. And in that cleansing of the environment, we cleanse the circumstances that create karma, which has to be redressed (given there is justice in ‘the universe’, because there is a Plan and Purpose).

And the sooner, then, we can all go home, permanently. Where ‘neither moth nor dust doth corrupt’ - where abides Truth. Not Illusion. The point. Not the process. The graduation. Not the school.

It's time to start that more conscious heading for home. And: First things first.

Obama Must Go - And the Congress With Him

2011-07-11T16:11:00.012+01:00

With the reports increasing from various experts that the document the Obama administration released online at the end of April purporting to be a true copy of his long-form, vault-copy Certificate of Live Birth on file in Hawaii is fraudulent - and easily identified as such - this matter, of his eligibility for that office, is beginning to descend into the murky realm of farce; and more: into the realm of high insult. The man, simply, must go.

It is obvious that he has something to hide, about his birth, and his particulars along the way to the highest office in the land, or there wouldn’t have been all this obfuscation that has been going on for long enough now regarding his bona fides.

In getting more and more incensed over this matter, I dug out a copy of a comment I made on a blog back on May 24. To an article carried on the e-newsletter site Before It’s News on that date, entitled ‘Corsi to File Criminal Charges Against White House Over Obama Birth Certificate’, and a comment to the article by a poster saying, “Most Americans no longer care about the issue,” I replied, in a restrained version of my feelings:

“Which is why people like Jerome Corsi need to be supported fully in their attempts to break through the MSM stonewalling on this issue. What is happening here is the full eradication of the rule of law in America, if Mr. Obama (or whatever his real name is) is allowed to stiff the American people in this matter, and the MSM sign off on it. We will forever after be consigned to the hell of rule by arbitrary law - the rule of men; which is the signature practice of tyrants down through history.

“By refusing to level with the American people on his bona fides, Mr. Obama (or whatever his real name is) is mocking them, and the country. it is unseemly. It is an insult, not only to the American people but to the office. It must not stand.

“If this man continues to refuse to provide his true records, he must be removed from the office, for potentially proven crimes and blatant misdemeanors, and the whole lot of them - executive, legislative and judicial branches of the federal government - removed from office [it’s called being ‘recalled’] for being party to the offence to the Constitution and the People. An administrator to be appointed to call for elections to be held within a time certain; and in the meantime, to clean out the executive branch of all the tainted placemen holding positions therein. This all to be accomplished by a march on Washington of The People, including individual members of the armed forces, current and retired, who deserve the right to have a legal Commander in Chief, as they uphold the Constitution - NOT the person in the office of the presidency of the United States. That office is being defiled. It needs to be cleansed, for honor to return to America. Period.”

Let me clarify what I mean by the comment on the ‘rule of law’. (And which subject makes of the man‘s actual birth certificate a bit of a red herring anyway. If his father was, indeed, Barack Obama, he is ineligible for that office right there. But that needs to be proved by access to his original birth records. He could have been adopted; his true father could have been Frank Marshall Davis; etc. ) This goes to the subject of the definition of a “natural born citizen”, rather than just a citizen, or ‘native born citizen’ (or ‘naturalized’ citizen) that is required by the Constitution of any person to hold that particular office - as opposed to any other federal office, for which the eligibility bar is not set as high. There is all manner of evidence of what the Founding Fathers understood that term to mean, and why they made an issue of it in the Constitution: that the person needed to be born on ‘the soil’ (or equivalent thereof) of citizen parents - plural, in order to ensure as far as possible that the person did not have dual loyalties - and ESPECIALLY not to Britain, with which they had just fought and won a War of Independence. They were not about to let the British Empire slip back into control over the fledgling Republic via a back door.*

So this business of the president of the United States needing to be a ‘natural born citizen’ is of huge importance. And this current contretemps over this issue the same. Either America abides by and lives under the rule of law, or it will live by’/struggle with the law of the jungle, whereby the strongest rule, without The People having proper recourse to justice.

Hitler, after his rise to power, proclaimed: ‘I am the law.” That sort of circumstance is precisely where America is heading, in acceding to the fait accompli of a person in the office of the presidency who is occupying that chair illegally, and therefore sitting in it as though it is a throne.

Thus, if America continues going down the road it is on - and with various civil rights-busting laws put in place under the Bush administration as well** - it will become an Empire - not a Republic, for which it stands rightfully. Now, with this sort of law-breaking precedent, both the Left AND the Right are trying to create a dictatorship; with a particular purpose: in order to take the U.S., and with its passing, the world, into their respective New World Orders (but they are really the same one at the top of the pyramid of power that We the People are up against).

It could happen. But Americans should think long and hard before overturning the form of government bequeathed to them by the Founding Fathers and that generation. A form of government emphasizing the rights of the individual as against the majority, and representative government, rather than the volatility of direct democracy - but still, government “of, by, and for the people”, in Lincoln’s memorable phrase.

I am aware that some people are saying that the current members of Congress are refusng to look at this issue in the detail they should be doing - having the legal ‘standing’ in the matter, to take it to the Supreme Court for a ruling on the constitutionality of the matter - because of fear that ‘the blacks’ will take to the streets. Number one: that is a bit of an insult to ‘the blacks’ - as if they aren’t capable of understanding the point of the serious political issue, and its ramifications for ‘the rule of law’. Number two: a number of African-Americans have already expressed, in no uncertain terms, their disgust with the illegality that the man called Obama is parading under. And number three: Who really has the more right to be affronted in this matter? I’d say: the American people; who are being mocked from the highest office in the land, by a usurper.

It is The People who have the more right to take to the streets over this matter. And, yes, the responsibility; to return the nation to the rule of law.

And to clarify: I am not counseling violence. I am counseling a return to the rule of law. And it looks increasingly as though that return is going to take a major appearance of We, the People, Assembled, in Washington, to bring it about, as they recall their elected office holders, for the corruption they have demonstrated in this matter.***

A note on that public demonstration: Don’t let anyone tell you that its recommendation is to counsel illegal insurrection. Not only does it reflect the spirit of the founding of the American Republic, it also has some explicit constitutional legality behind it. As I said on another Comments thread on this subject (this to an article on the conservative byte e-newsletter site on June 10; my comment carried on the 12th):

“Ron,

“It’s obvious that Congress is not going to act on its own. So yes, it’s time for a march on Washington of The People, demanding that the man currently occupying the office of the presidency release his bona fides - his true records, subject to expert inspection.

“Since there is every good reason to believe that they are not sufficient for him to occupy that particular office legally - or he would have provided them by now - then (a) the People need to call on Congress to act on that fact forthwith, and declare “what Officer shall then act as President” (Art. II, Sec. 1). If Congress fails to so act - and to The People’s satisfaction - then (b) the Constitution allows for no other recourse than for The People to take the law back into their own hands, to declare such Officer, “and such Officer shall act accordingly, until the Disability be removed, or a President shall be elected”. And since Congress will have failed in their duty to act in the matter, such Officer, as part of the ‘cleaning of the house’ as you recommend, should dissolve that body, and call for elections of both the executive and the legislative branches of the federal government in a time certan, say within 90 days. Said Officer then having the right and responsibility to ‘clean the house’ of the executive branch of government as well, since the whole lot of the federal government will have been tainted by this current individual’s usurpation of power. And the Supreme Court will have nothing of substance to say about the matter, because it will have failed in its duty to let The People have recourse to a redress of their grievance through the judicial branch of government.

“A clean sweep, in other words, of the Augean stables of the federal government, is what would be called for, in such an event. With the oathkeepers of the country’s military, current and retired, marching in unison with The People, in their (overdue) move to right this wrong being visited on the American Republic - being visited in the name of Empire. Whether from the nominal ’left’ or ‘right’, it is a wrong, not in keeping with the spirit of the establishment of ‘the last, best hope of mankind’ - America, and her example [to the world] for self-government, and self-responsibility. Not to be ruled over by despots, either of church or royalty or state.

‘And may The People of America learn well the lesson in this regard. The lesson warned about by such as Thomas Jefferson, and others of her leaders in the past: that you can’t long have self-government without self-responsibility. Or the wolves will creep back in amongst you; who thirst for the power that you failed to honor, in your inattention to the job you had been bequeathed.”

It is up to The People, then, in summary, to right this wrong to the country. And in the righting of this wrong, they will open humanity up to a better future than that planned for it at the moment, by the Powers That Be, who wish to rule the world on their terms.

Not those of the Creator. Who wishes the highest for We, the People. Sparks of the One Source. Calling us, now, closer to home. To release our attachment to what is. And create what can be:

a Garden of Eden, on this lovely planet we call Earth; waiting for us, now, to give of life our best.

‘Seek ye first the kingdom of God...’

* Some commentators have posted facile arguments on the ‘net trying to muddy the waters on this factor, including saying that the Founding Fathers couldn’t have meant that ‘interpretation’ of the term because anybody could, subsequent to birth, become a dual citizen, so it is a meaningless issue. For them, perhaps; since they are championing a man who has fallen foul of that restriction. But just because a dual citizenship could be attained after birth doesn’t mean that the FF didn’t mean to put that limitation on a candidate for the office. It just means that they couldn’t cover all possible permutations of the law in the Constitution they came up with; that it would be up to future generations to deal with such details as circumstances arose. (Obviously, the spirit of the founding action should be honored.)
But a point of clarification: fundamental changes in the Constitution would have to come about via the amending process allowed for to keep the contract up to date with the unfolding of the Republic’s life. Nobody - not even a majority of the Supreme Court - can just declare a different definition of a fundamental term in the contract. The States must be involved in that sort of process. It IS, after all, a contract. Not just “a damn piece of paper,” as someone who should have known better described it somewhat recently.
We are getting into an important area of American politics that needs to be addressed at some point soon: that of ‘liberals’ trying to make of the Constitution a ‘living document’, subject to the socio-political whims of a majority of Supreme Court justices, rather than the legalistic approach of ‘strict constructionists’ - upholders of the basic judicial principle of ‘original intent’: doing their best to divine what did those who made the law(s) mean when they passed them. To disregard the ‘doctrine’ of ‘original intent’ is to open a can of legalistic worms, thus opening the door for the application of arbitrary law (‘Words mean what I say they mean, neither more nor less’ said Humpty Dumpty haughtily). Which, as I said above, is “the signature practice of tyrants down through history”. But to continue with the main thrust of this blog.

** Both sides of the political aisle are involved in this crime. That means that the fix is in at the top - that The People really haven’t had a proper choice in their government , have just had a choice between Tweedledum and Tweedledee. It’s the same cabal of powerful people at the top of the pyramid; who want to turn the world into their footstool.
Don’t let them.
And that means: Don’t trust the ‘opposition’ at an one time to be doing what they are supposed to be doing, in other than a one-party state.
Money talks out of both sides of its mouth.

*** And I am aware that they may not only be demonstrating corruption in this matter; but fear. Fear, not only for their political lives, but their very lives; and those of their families. Because they may have been made an offer they can't refuse. Very serious business: because the stakes are so high. In this case: 'the stakes' of control of the world. With very powerful people going for broke, now, as it were - including 'breaking' the economy, so that they can merge the U.S. into their vaunted New World Order, via the unrest created by said breakage, and the consequent declaration of Martial Law - activated because of a self-created 'state of national emergency' - by their placeman in the prime position of power to do so. As George W. came so close to doing before him. As part of the same putsch for power.
Forget 'left' or 'right'. It's the same Mob at the top of the pyramid. Manipulating their puppets, to do their bidding. As I indicated in the footnote above. And so perhaps the best thing The People could do for these people being so manipulated is to let them off the hook by said recall, and replace them with individuals who will be protected by The People from the Powers That Be behind the current throne.
