I have just come across the site of one Steve Beckow, a Canadian who is doing good work in apprising his readers of aspects of the changes going on in the world, for the better. (sbeckow.wordpress.com) But he got my 'concern' up when he spoke/speaks "unabashedly" of his admiration for Barack Obama. My response, on the thread of one of those blogs of his:
"I have just come across your site, Steve, and though I find it very interesting, and am ‘simpatico’ with much of it, I have to say that I am glad to read on this thread some concerns about Obama (and that you allowed them). Maybe, being a Canadian, you don’t understand some of the basic concerns here, and have assumed that the concerns about his eligibility and motives are just sour grapes from ‘the political opposition’, or racist, or whatever. But you should know that there are serious and legitimate questions about his eligibility for that office – and therefore a legitimate feeling that the country is being hijacked.
And it doesn’t even have to do with the questions about his original, vault-copy birth certificate, ie, whether he was actually born in Hawaii or not. He was not eligible for that particular office from the beginning, according to the historical definition of a ‘natural born’ citizen (as opposed to just ‘native born’), which involves both ‘blood’ and ‘soil’ – is a person born of citizen parents (plural) on the land (or its equivalent). His father (if indeed Obama Sr. was in fact his father; another worm in this can) was a British subject – the country that was uppermost in the minds of the Founding Fathers when they agreed not to allow a person of potentially mixed national loyalties to hold that particular office (it’s not a requirement of other federal offices). He should never have been allowed to run for the office in the first place – and in fact there is some evidence that the person responsible for signing off on his eligibility to be the Democratic Party’s candidate, one Nancy Pelosi, even KNEW there was some question about this matter (she changed the wording on the legal form sent to Hawaii from that sent to the other states). But some politicians in America play a little fast and loose with ‘the law’, apparently operating with the philosophy that the end justifies the means. Which, as we know from sad experience, is the philosophy of tyrants down through the ages.
And I use this analogy intentionally. It was, after all, Hitler who famously declared, “I am the law”; and look where that attitude got the world. I am saying, in effect, that there is something of the darkness about Obama’s administration; and therefore, how can this be unequivocally of the light?
There’s something wrong with this picture. I don’t care what Mathew, SaLuSa, and David Wilcock say about this man. They have some explaining to do. And I encourage you to go inside, and get your own message from Spirit on this matter; not rely on them for your take on it.
I have my take on it. But this is your blog. And GENERALLY, I encourage you to keep up your good work."
There is an issue here that goes as well to Obama's two nominations for the Supreme Court - and signals the danger that the American Republic faces with people in positions of power who are relative about the law. Not that George W. Bush didn't also play with that same set of matches. But it's getting out of hand, now, as time passes, and with the precedent set by the Republicans (who should have known better), with the Democrats philosophically eager to drive a coach and horses through such an opening; and with the acceptance now of Elena Kagan onto that Court.
Kagan had signaled in her past writings her admiration for an Israeli judge - indeed, describing him as her "hero" - who wrote on the matter of not letting the wording or intention of the law stand in the way of modern interpretations of it. That is, that judges are, apparently, supremely qualified to substitute their own socio-political proclivities for the law. Thus negating the necessity of having anything like a democracy, or a republic; to say, a legislative branch of government. Why bother? Let the judges decide the law.
A notion that the likes of Thomas Jefferson decidedly warned the American people about.
And thus the apparent major reason why the niceties of the law regarding the legal definition of a 'natural born' citizen to be eligible to run for the American presidency was no real impediment to the candidacy of Barack Hussein Obama. What does it matter what the 'original intention' of the matter was? All that matters is the here and now, and who has the power to determine what the meaning of the law will be.
So much for contracts, and the rule of law. So passe, in the day and age of what one of Clinton's flunkies commented on - presciently, as it has turned out - when William 'Wild Bill' Jefferson signed yet another Executive Order: "Stroke of the pen; law of the land. Kinda cool."
Neat.
For tyrants.

Not Restoration But Reconciliation
"Dear Fellow Conservative,
"Nancy Pelosi and her liberal allies in Washington have just moved my race up to one of their top targets.
"My opponent was named to the Democrats so-called "Red to Blue" list. These candidates will serve as the rubber stamp to the radical Pelosi agenda of higher taxes, out-of-control spending, and massive government overreach.
"Click here to stop the liberal attack machines!
"Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats are targeting me to keep their razor thin majority in the House to pass their extreme liberal agenda. We need to stop the Obama/Pelosi agenda and fight for our constitutional conservative majority. We cannot back down from this fight.
"Will you help defend me and the conservative values we share?
"Time is of the essence, I've got an important campaign deadline on August 10th, and it is critical for us to send a clear message and end on a strong note...
"I appreciate your help, encouragement and prayers. I will continue to fight for a constitutional conservative majority and lead the effort to repeal government takeover and restore our great nation.
"Sincerely,
"Michele Bachmann"
Dear Ms Bachmann,
I appreciate your sentiment. But your guns are trained in the wrong direction.*
It is not restoration we need, but reconciliation. Reconciliation, of our parts. When neither side has a monopoly on the 'right' of the matter. The matter of the unfolding of human civilization - now at a key structural point, for a synthesis to take place.
Hegel had a keen eye for such things. He saw that any position contains elements of disaffection. Is part of an unfolding process. Thesis, antithesis - synthesis. Leading to another level OF the process.
"Restore our great nation" - to what, exactly. The nation that bred the likes of the Neocons, and their desire for Perpetual War for Perpetual Peace? The nation that bred an economic crisis that almost - almost - took the house down with it??
Yes, free enterprise bred an outstanding standard of living - for some. It also bred terrible conditions for many.
Why should We, the People return power to those who caused the recent inbuilt crisis of capitalism - who lived by the motto of 'service to self', and the devil take the hindmost. Short-term gain for long-term pain.
I say, No. I say, Look closer. Look higher.
What is it that the Left is trying to tell us?
That 'socialism' is 'good'?
That a big-spending government is 'good'?
I don't think so.
I think that, really, they are trying to tell us something else. That there is a better way, of living than the way we are today.
That they have an intimation of a better world, waiting for us on the other side of a great divide.
Which will consist of elements of both current camps.
Like the yin-yang symbol, each 'side' of which has an element of the other in it.
Not to say that I take the 'side' of Nancy Pelosi in this matter.
Take her role in the declaring of Barack Obama to be eligible for the Democratic Party's candidacy for president.
(And what a metaphor Obama is in this matter. Neither black nor white. Nothing on this level of reality is fully either black or white. It is all 'in play'.)
Why are we supposed to merely assume that whatever was provided to Nancy Pelosi - as the presiding official of the Democratic Party's nominating convention - as proof of Obama's eligibility to run for that particular office - and particular in the sense of the clear, special requirement asked for constitutionally, above and beyond that asked for lesser federal offices - IF ANYTHING, is or should be good enough for the average American citizen? That the citizenry should just sit quietly and buy a pig in a poke?? For the highest - most powerful - office in the land...
Nancy Pelosi had a vested interest in the matter. The proof of his eligibility needs to rest with independent parties, and especially including the judiciary of the land. Which brings up a terribly sore point, in and for a nation that is supposed to champion and abide by 'the rule of law' (remember Adolf 'I am the law' Hitler??): For the judicial branch of the federal government to refuse to allow a fair hearing in court of this controversial matter is a denial of justice, and must not be allowed to stand.
But this whole matter - the current economic crisis, and socio-political crisis; of, now, global proportions - speaks of something larger going on, something more substantive than just 'business as usual'.
I'll cut to the chase. Some very powerful people, standard bearers of the Status Quo, want a New World Order that they can control, for their corporate/political purposes (aka fascism). To that end, they have created a degree of 'gobalization' that is just short of their goal. But in the Hegelian sense, that 'platform' is just part of a process, that is unfolding a larger outcome. It has generated an 'equal and opposite' response from the Left - a stream of socio-political thinking that wants a greater degree of equality in the world than that found under classical (or monopoly) capitalism, which has too much of 'service to self' at its heart. The Left would try to incarnate a greater degree of a similar but competing perspective - that of 'service to others'. But it would do it under the given, status-quo terms, using capitalism's financial system, of interest-bearing money and fractional-reserve banking; hoping that people will somehow alter their attitudes, into 'caring and sharing', within the terms of the status-quo system. But it's rather like the Second Law of Thermodynamics: Once 'money' became an end in itself, rather than merely the means that it started out as (ie, a means of exchange), it's impossible now to unscramble those eggs. Because both sides of this economic equation (capitalism vs. socialism; individualism vs. collecctivism) have bought into a worm's-eye view of the matter. The matter of living on Planet Earth.
The better outcome/true synthesis at this point would be to insert the spiritual dimension into the equation (as a piece of the 'capitalist' system contribution, versus the mere materialism (secular humanism) of the 'socialist' contribution, in antithetical reaction to the historically heavy hand of 'religion' in this unfolding process), and realize that we stand on the verge of a New Order, all right. Just not the one dreamt of in the philosophy of those who would use Power to impose their will on life on Earth.
The answer - called for so strongly now - is to bring Love to bear. The Love of the Creator for Its Creation; including the opportunity for all of its autonomous, free-will-invested sparks of divinity to become One again, at the highest turn of the evolutionary spiral of consciousness-raising.
And raise life on Earth to a new, higher level in the process.
At least for a good, oh, say, thousand years or so. Before its inevitable degradation would just generate another antithesis, in the unfolding process of consciousness raising in the illusory, unreal realm of seeming separation from the Divine.
P.S. To spell something out: Obama must now come clean about his background, for a reconciliation process to take place; which will actively include both sides of the political aisle. Since you can't have one without the other.
* It would behoove us all to learn the lesson from the British experience at the beginning of WWII when, in preparation for defending Singapore, they had all their cannons aimed to the sea - the logical direction of the anticipated invasion by the Japanese. Who inscrutably attacked by land. On bicycles yet.
O to have been a fly on the wall of the British admiralty when this treachery unfolded. Treachery, from the norms of waging war. Like gentlemen. Cricket, and 'the playing fields of Eton', and all that.

Life on Planet Earth
I'm feeling an urge today to summarise my take on Life on Planet Earth, for the record.
It feels to me that we've got better things to do now as a species than play the same old sandbox games, over and over. We've got a hurting planet to learn to live in harmony with, and fast; and various races and religions and nationalities and political philosophies to knit together, in order to live in common cause on our lovely planet, asking of us now our best. Not our lowest common denominator. Our best, as a species, with free will allowing us to blow it, and start the historical process over, in our separate caves; or move to a higher level of consciousness - a breakthrough, of consciousness limitation - that allows us to express our higher aspect into our daily lives. Our higher aspect, as 'spiritual beings having a human experience,' as the expression has it.
What does that mean, practically. Practically, it means that we should, now - at our level of technological development, and environmental necessity - recognise that the concepts of interest-bearing money, and money itself, are just that - concepts. That there is a higher concept that we can aspire to, in order to live together in greater harmony, and with our planetary nest (before we start thinking too seriously of going out and exploring our material neighborhood). That concept can be stated as: giving of our best to one another out of gratitude to our Creator for life with meaning, in a meaningful universe - at this stage of that meaningful life.
I appreciate that there are differences in thinking as to what precisely 'the Creator' and 'life' mean. But there is plenty of evidence in that we can draw some basic conclusions from. For example. 'Life with meaning' can be deduced from the evidence of the phenomenon known as reincarnation - that some part of 'us' returns in different bodily forms, in order to - what. Just continue to experience material life, over and over, for no essential meaning to the process? That conclusion makes no sense. Things have a reason for being, or they wouldn't be. And a clue to the reason for the phenomenon of reincarnation can be seen in the results of something called Past Lives Therapy, whereby the individual is released from the mental/emotional block from a past life experience when he or she (in this lifetime) reconnects with it in a 'real', current-time way, recognises it - gets the message from the experience - and is released thereby from the 'block', the learning experience, in order to move on. 'To move on': to not be bound down by our past-life experiences, keeping us from a healed and wholer aspect of ourselves. Which when completely healed and whole, can truly move on. Into Oneness. Without the ego blocking the way; the sense of 'I' as a separate entity.
But I get ahead of myself. (A little joke there.)
And 'the Creator'...let's just say, the Primal Source, and leave that matter at that. I don't want to get hung up here on definitions. Let's stay with the gist of the matter. Which is: that the universe has purpose, and that purpose is Good.
Has beneficial meaning.
That there is growth involved.
Growth in consciousness.
And time now to start engaging in more of that good stuff.
Which, when done, will set us free.
Free from old limitations.
And free to start soaring like a bird; released, in good time, from the confines - the support - of its nest.
To go exploring the larger realm. Which is part of a Whole.
A larger Whole; that we are beginning - just beginning - to touch the hem of.
Think positive.
And thereby, get there.
---
The point of life
ultimately
is to get to Unity
and leave separation behind.
Not
to dwell in it
indefinitely.
That is to savor a lesser fruit.
On!
Sail on!

ultimately.

Wars and Rumours of Wars
I remember, in my high school days, writing, for an English class exercise, an essay on War. I'm not sure what occasioned that subject for that exercise; it may have been - in the air - the Korean War, newly minted at the time. (Excuse me: 'Police Action', as the government called it, for some obscure, presumably international-relations-related, legalistic reason. But a rose by any other name...and its obverse.) I remember further how I opened it; with due regard for my vocabulary-building stage at the time, still experimenting with words: 'Down through the eternal ages, Man has been witness to one internecine carnage after another...", and how I sourly concluded it: " It [The impulse to war] has become a part of the nature of Man."
I wouldn't say 'it' quite that way, now, near the end of this life span. Yes, we have an animal part of our nature; and that part of us will, indeed, tend to cause us to fight for territory, or sustenance, or whatever rationale we put our minds to. But we also have another part; a part that connects us to 'the divine'. The realm beyond words, of description. The realm that just Is. And it is that realm, and that connection, that will save us from our present, major Crisis on planet Earth.
For it is a crisis of consciousness, in essence. To say, a lack of consciousness; of who we are, really. As sparks of 'the divine'; trying - in our multiple ways - to find our way home. To transcend the material realm, and reconnect with our inner Sun. Like the holotropic beings we are, in essence.
I remember, in university, in my Biology class (of my pre-medical studies), being very struck by the phenomenon, in the plant world, of what was/is called phototropism - the growth response of plants to the stimulus of light, producing a bending towards the light source. How it didn't matter in which direction the seed was planted in the soil; when it started its transformative process, it would unerringly head for the light. And we are holotropic beings, unerringly heading for our Source, in wholeness. Finding our way through the hologram which has been constructed to give us some resistance, to grow by. In a transformative process of our own.
But I get ahead of myself, a little.
I want to address the issue of war, and the causes of war. For beyond its origin in the animal part of our nature is the environmental element. To say: If the environment is sustainable, and nourishing, we will have no reason to war. The plant in us can just grow. Into its potential. So: how can we alter our environment, to further that outcome.
And now we come to the issue of what we call capitalism. Based on a concept called profit.
For that is all that it is: a concept. Not a law of nature, even of 'human nature'. Has it served humanity, to give us an incentive to produce things? Primarily out of self-interest? Indeed it has. Look at the thrust of western civilisation: basically built on harnessing the drive of self-interest. But I would submit that that is a rather primitive concept; one that can be outgrown as we increase our awareness, our consciousness, and start looking at life in a more holistic way. That is to say: considering the whole as well as the part; our personal part. And now that we are living in a day and age where the motivator of self-interest is throwing up its shadow - of the trashing of the environment, and such - it is, really, time to have a 'mid-course correction', in regards to the future of life on Earth. For the way we are going, we can blow it - the whole climb out of our primitive caves, into the light of a new day. A possible new day. If we release the training wheels that have gotten us here, to this Turning Point.
The training wheels of, one, profit, and two, money.
What may have been necessary to help us uncover our individual potential is now hindering us, and harming us. Example. Our over-reliance on fossil fuels as an energy source, and more. The capitalist system is largely built on oil. But it is proving to have a great detrimental side, in the polluting of the environment, and such. The latter including an incentive to war.
Gen. Smedley Butler wrote a book he entitled: 'War Is a Racket.' Man has gone to many wars over resources like oil. But oil can be superseded by 'higher' forms of energy. Like the radiant energy in the universe. But we can't get to that source, as long as we are locked in the old paradigm - the old mentality - of scarcity, and 'profit'. The elementary stage of our education and development as a species.
Consider a day when we travel around on magnetism, and what is called 'Zero Point Energy'. That day will come about when we grow up some more. Learn to live in greater harmony with each other, and our environment. And 'produce for use, not for profit', as the socialists call for. But without their reliance on a powerful state, to keep people in control; believing as they do only in a materialistic model of reality. That people need to be forced to do things, because of 'human nature'. That Man is but a short step from a Beast, and thus needs to be chained, and held in place by the power of the state.
I've got a better idea. I say that we trust that his better nature will come to the fore, if given the chance. His nature, of 'a spiritual being having a human experience'. Realising, that the universe has purpose, and that purpose is Good. And so Man will be motivated to give of his best, in loving gratitude to his loving Creator for life with meaning.
The proof is in the experiences of all the people who have had Near Death Experiences, and Out of Body Experiences, and Past Life experiences, and other experiences that have helped them understand that there is far more under heaven and earth than is dreamt of in the common philosophy. That our souls are exploring life, and growing from our experiences - gaining awareness. Raising consciousness; our own, and that of those around us, inspired by our examples. Heading back towards Oneness with the Divine. Leaving this realm behind - after giving it our best shot. And going Home, after the sojourn in the wilderness, that tests our mettle.
No more pharmaceutical companies creating drugs that have side effects that they then come up with other drugs to treat, because they're in business to make money. And gain power. And with their corporate allies, to try to take over the world, and make it safe for oligarchy. And so forth.
It is really time to put our childish things behind us, and grow up.
Join the club.
I wouldn't say 'it' quite that way, now, near the end of this life span. Yes, we have an animal part of our nature; and that part of us will, indeed, tend to cause us to fight for territory, or sustenance, or whatever rationale we put our minds to. But we also have another part; a part that connects us to 'the divine'. The realm beyond words, of description. The realm that just Is. And it is that realm, and that connection, that will save us from our present, major Crisis on planet Earth.
For it is a crisis of consciousness, in essence. To say, a lack of consciousness; of who we are, really. As sparks of 'the divine'; trying - in our multiple ways - to find our way home. To transcend the material realm, and reconnect with our inner Sun. Like the holotropic beings we are, in essence.
I remember, in university, in my Biology class (of my pre-medical studies), being very struck by the phenomenon, in the plant world, of what was/is called phototropism - the growth response of plants to the stimulus of light, producing a bending towards the light source. How it didn't matter in which direction the seed was planted in the soil; when it started its transformative process, it would unerringly head for the light. And we are holotropic beings, unerringly heading for our Source, in wholeness. Finding our way through the hologram which has been constructed to give us some resistance, to grow by. In a transformative process of our own.
But I get ahead of myself, a little.
I want to address the issue of war, and the causes of war. For beyond its origin in the animal part of our nature is the environmental element. To say: If the environment is sustainable, and nourishing, we will have no reason to war. The plant in us can just grow. Into its potential. So: how can we alter our environment, to further that outcome.
And now we come to the issue of what we call capitalism. Based on a concept called profit.
For that is all that it is: a concept. Not a law of nature, even of 'human nature'. Has it served humanity, to give us an incentive to produce things? Primarily out of self-interest? Indeed it has. Look at the thrust of western civilisation: basically built on harnessing the drive of self-interest. But I would submit that that is a rather primitive concept; one that can be outgrown as we increase our awareness, our consciousness, and start looking at life in a more holistic way. That is to say: considering the whole as well as the part; our personal part. And now that we are living in a day and age where the motivator of self-interest is throwing up its shadow - of the trashing of the environment, and such - it is, really, time to have a 'mid-course correction', in regards to the future of life on Earth. For the way we are going, we can blow it - the whole climb out of our primitive caves, into the light of a new day. A possible new day. If we release the training wheels that have gotten us here, to this Turning Point.
The training wheels of, one, profit, and two, money.
What may have been necessary to help us uncover our individual potential is now hindering us, and harming us. Example. Our over-reliance on fossil fuels as an energy source, and more. The capitalist system is largely built on oil. But it is proving to have a great detrimental side, in the polluting of the environment, and such. The latter including an incentive to war.
Gen. Smedley Butler wrote a book he entitled: 'War Is a Racket.' Man has gone to many wars over resources like oil. But oil can be superseded by 'higher' forms of energy. Like the radiant energy in the universe. But we can't get to that source, as long as we are locked in the old paradigm - the old mentality - of scarcity, and 'profit'. The elementary stage of our education and development as a species.
Consider a day when we travel around on magnetism, and what is called 'Zero Point Energy'. That day will come about when we grow up some more. Learn to live in greater harmony with each other, and our environment. And 'produce for use, not for profit', as the socialists call for. But without their reliance on a powerful state, to keep people in control; believing as they do only in a materialistic model of reality. That people need to be forced to do things, because of 'human nature'. That Man is but a short step from a Beast, and thus needs to be chained, and held in place by the power of the state.
I've got a better idea. I say that we trust that his better nature will come to the fore, if given the chance. His nature, of 'a spiritual being having a human experience'. Realising, that the universe has purpose, and that purpose is Good. And so Man will be motivated to give of his best, in loving gratitude to his loving Creator for life with meaning.
The proof is in the experiences of all the people who have had Near Death Experiences, and Out of Body Experiences, and Past Life experiences, and other experiences that have helped them understand that there is far more under heaven and earth than is dreamt of in the common philosophy. That our souls are exploring life, and growing from our experiences - gaining awareness. Raising consciousness; our own, and that of those around us, inspired by our examples. Heading back towards Oneness with the Divine. Leaving this realm behind - after giving it our best shot. And going Home, after the sojourn in the wilderness, that tests our mettle.
No more pharmaceutical companies creating drugs that have side effects that they then come up with other drugs to treat, because they're in business to make money. And gain power. And with their corporate allies, to try to take over the world, and make it safe for oligarchy. And so forth.
It is really time to put our childish things behind us, and grow up.
Join the club.

Headlines In the Non-News
Headline of an email I received today:
'Epidemic: 6000+ U.S. Veterans Committed Suicide in 2009'
Headline of another email I received today:
'Bill Gates funds bizarre vaccine nanotechnology and sterilization tech'
Headline of another email I received today:
'Vaccines: Will we ever know the whole truth?'
And therein lies a common denominator. With the bottom line being that our erstwhile Masters are ramping up their assault on the world's people, particularly in the weakening of the American people (with the UK not far behind), in order to pacify them into their New World Order, of ultimate people control.
What's this all about.
First things first.
(1) Huge numbers of U.S. Veterans are committing either suicide or homicide. I'll cut to the chase: They are loaded with vaccines. Not only can vaccines cause genetic damage; they can, and do, suppress the immune system, so that any number of illness and disease conditions follow in their wake. They can, and do, also cause depression. The mainstream medical profession knows this. What is the MMP's answer to that condition? The prescribing of antidepressants. Which can, and do, cause 'suicidal ideation'; also homicidal thoughts.
(2) Mike Adams, who calls himself The Health Ranger, commented today under the second headline above (at his NaturalNews website) about a couple of new initiatives of the Gates Foundation, which has funded research that has come up with (a) a technique of momentarily (for 6 months) sterilizing males by shooting ultrasounds at their scrotums, and (b) a new way to vaccinate the populace (with whatever), by dispersing nano-sized vaccines in spray form. Like, say, from airplanes...
(my comment to his article:)
"Ah yes, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. They have been pushing vaccination campaigns in Africa for yonks. They SAY it's for 'health' reasons. But, curious thing: Bill has been seen on a video talking to a learned audience about the dangers of overpopulation/the carrying capacity of the planet;* and then he slips seamlessly into talking about vaccines for the 3rd World. Excuse me? - Oh; I see. 'Health' can mean different things to different people. As in those people who some years ago mounted an anti-tetanus campaign in three 3rd World countries, particularly targeting young females, where the shots turned out to have an anti-fertility agent in them. Vaccination shots being a perfect mode for delivering such agents, to widespread cohorts; if that is what your intent is.
"A major drop in population numbers is the desire of many people, especially some very powerful people, particularly connected with the Club of Rome and the Bilderberger Society. That is what 'global health' means to them. And now, the technology for nanoparticles to be delivered in a spray mist...an anti-populationist's dream.
"Between substances delivered in the water supply [Mike had talked in his article also about the delivery of 'mass medication' to the populace via the drinking water supply, in the form of fluoride], and in the air: they will have us totally covered. Ah, the wonders of modern technology...
"(Reminder, Mike: fluoride - besides being a poison - is a mood enhancer; aka a pacifier. Keeping 'them' sedated while 'we' kill them. 'We': the erstwhile Masters of this planet. facing their day of reckoning, thanks to whistleblowers like Mike Adams.)"
And Dr. Andrew Wakefield. Which brings us to
(3) This article, on a holistic health e-newsletter site, was occasioned by the reporter taking the Tube to work in London and seeing in the free newspaper - given out to 1.7 million commuters - a big ad extolling the "benefits" of vaccinations. The reporter went through some of the history of the flu vaccine caper, and so forth; but it also brings up - emphasized? - the current headlines in the News news about the striking off from the medical register in the UK this week of Dr. Andrew Wakefield, whose paper, published in The Lancet in 1998, kicked off the controversy over the safety, or not, of the MMR shot, in relation to some children diagnosed with autism who had intestinal damage, and many of whose parents claimed that their descent into this terrible dual condition - gut and brain - came in the wake of their receiving the MMR vaccine.
I won't go into that whole story here. Except to point out that Wakefield, also this week, has had published his version of the whole brouhaha (in a book titled, ironically, "Callous Disregard" - ironically, because that was what he was accused of, and is accusing his persecutors of); and in at least one radio interview of him that I heard, when asked what he thought was behind his persecution - essentially, why did he think the authorities were denying the dangers - said, cautiously, "I don't know if it's just incompetence, or not..." But in his book he tells it like it is: that the UK government (in bed with the drug companies) had indemnified the MMR manufacturer for any possible damage the vaccine may cause, in order to keep it coming. So that the parents, who were trying to sue the manufacturer, were kept from their pursuit of justice for at least one unobvious reason: so that they wouldn't find out that it would do no good to sue them; that they would in fact have to sue the government. And the government wasn't about to let that happen. Ergo, the whole sordid saga.
There's more to this story (The owner of The Sunday Times, the main public persecuting body, happening to sit on the board of directors of the vaccine manufacturer; etc. etc.). But my main point, and charge: Parents are having a hard time getting the medical authorities to admit that various suspect vaccines can cause such as autism, not just because of the financial liability they will be responsible for, but primarily because the Powers That Be need that modality to seed various adverse substances into the populace. For population control.
And why would the governments do it to their own troops (in reference to item 1)? The U.S. is the prime example, and answer: Because the PTB need to weaken, break down, the United States as an entity, in order to submerge it into their vaunted New World Order, as an obedient vassal, known as the North American Union (with a new currency: the amero, binding the NAU, of the former Mexico-U.S.-Canada, as one region of the NWO. And thus the parallel need to weaken the dollar, and thereby send the people into crisis mode, for the purpose of forcing into being a declaration of Martial Law, and the consequent elimination of the U.S. Constitution, which is the wafer-thin "damn piece of paper" standing between the U.S. as it is and the accomplishment of their goal). Need to weaken the populace so that they can't resist the takeover.
Happening as we speak.
And taking off in earnest, once they can start spraying the populace with their people-control ingredients.
Which technique has been trialed with the chemtrails over (at the least) America; and the inadequate response of the people to this threat to them.
Shades of Soylent Green...
Who ARE these people, behind all this?
Some of them are us.
Humans.
And some aren't, basically.
...But there are others who aren't us either who are willing to help us out of this mess.
Coming up.
But we need to do our part. Free will, and all that. All that evidence that there is something more than Man; and with that factor:
that the universe has Purpose, and that Purpose is Good.
Ultimately.
After we indivuated sparks of The One, having been given choice - by which to grow in consciousness, and thus advance The Whole - have played out our parts to completion.
Choose your side.
Or have it chosen for you.
The options are narrowing quickly.
As I say: As we speak.

* He did it in relation to the CO2 scam. Which the Club of Rome years ago seized on as a rationale for 'global governance'. And some entrepreneurs are using to make bundles of money, by killing people - individually, and en masse, as in manipulated airplane crashes (part of our modern technology) - and making money off the consequent lowering of CO2. As was part of the 9/11 caper. 'Give me proof of CO2 reduction and you've got a deal.'
That's the sort of people we're up against, people.
Capitalism taken to the nth degree. Where the only consideration is: 'What's in it for me.'

Abuse of the U.S. Constitution: It's Impeachment Time - And More
I am aware of several particular straws in the wind. Consider:
* Several states, in alignment with the so-called 10th Amendment Movement, are legislating to claim the right for their citizens 'to keep and bear arms', which are not made or sold interstate, free from federal regulation/jurisdiction. The federal government is trying to thwart these actions by claiming that it has the constitutional right to regulate anything that "affects" or "has an effect on" or "impacts on" interstate commerce. I'm not sure where it gets that notion from, other than from its simple desire to have such power: the U.S. Constitution gives it the power simply "to regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States,..." Not "within" the States. Period. But of such attempts are slippery slopes made.
Note: This is part of the basic legal argument that has been going on in the U.S. for some time, between 'Federalists' and 'anti-Federalists' - between those who want a stronger central government, lording it over the states & making most socio-economic decisions in Washington, and those who want to keep the federal system of government that is the U.S. system, intact, whereby the federal government is one of limited and delegated powers - "few and defined", in the words of the Father of the Constitution, James Madison; has only those powers specifically ceded to it in & by the Constitution, all others being "reserved to the States respectively, or to the people" (the aforementioned 10th Amendment).
One power, and responsibility, delegated to it is named in Article IV, Sect. 4: "The United States shall guarantee to every State in the Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion..." Which leads to
* Several states are feeling they are being overwhelmed with illegal aliens, and are fretting that the US government is not doing enough about the matter; to the point- as with Arizona recently - that they are starting to consider state legislation to do something about it. Which is within their prerogative, given a fairly legitimate definition of what they are facing and incurring as 'invasion', and with that impact on the services they can afford, etc. But that's not the main point I wish to raise here on this matter. That is that the federal government, in the form of the head of the U.S. Immigration And Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) has threatened not to prosecute illegal aliens caught by the states. And that is raising this general issue, of the power balance between the states and the federal government in a federal system of government, to a serious state of alert.
As well, because
(a) the federal government is hoping that the courts will throw out the states' initiatives, on whatever technicalities they can come up with - including that they don't have 'standing' (which highlights another issue, covered below); and
(b) the specific issue is highlighting a larger one, having to do with a movement amongst revolutionary Mexicans called La Raza - 'The Race', whereby those so inclined are trying to create a state under Mexican control called Aztlan, consisting of a number of the U.S. states in the southwest, including California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, and parts of Texas.
And here the plot deepens.
Because we're talking about, as well, a movement amongst Establishment types - the Power Elite - to dismantle the Constitution, in order to absorb the - former - U.S. into the North American Union region of their proposed New World Order; and so they are happy to have the border issue - both the illegal alien issue and the Aztlan issue - begin to accomplish that dismantling, in order to further their own ends. And they would appear to be willing to let Obama help bring that whole scenario to a head, even though he is of the 'left', and they are of the 'right'. Why? Because the real Power Elite are behind both sides of the stage-front political process; the drama that keeps the public's attention away from who's behind the backstage curtain, directing things.
Consider. Obama's eligibility for the office of the U.S. president is highly suspect (and blatantly unmet, according to the historical and still-legal definition of a "natural born" citizen, which requires the presidential candidate to be born on the soil of parents - plural - who are citizens). His hiding of definitive information about his original, vault-copy birth certificate; his refusal to have his passport information or school records released; his strange Social Security card number background; etc. etc. Do 'you' REALLLY think he could have gotten away with all that if the Power Elite didn't want him in the position he is in, to deliver the U.S. to them in tatters, so that they could remold it into their desired one-world structure? Thus the various lawsuit attempts to bring his eligibility to a court of law, and thereby subject to 'disclosure', have been thwarted, under the technicality of the plaintiffs lacking 'standing'.
Who would have standing? Apparently, the U.S. Congress. The majority of whom are Democrats. And it was their leaders - particularly the Speaker of the House - who signed off on Obama's eligibility to be their party's candidate. Go figure.
What this is all amounting to is great Crisis. Which brings great Opportunity. Which is what the Power Elite are counting on. (Along with their collusion in the financial crisis, which has been orchestrated to and for their benefit - to pick up the pieces after the collapse at bargain prices, literally and so to speak.)
The answer? Since both the executive and the legislative branches of the federal government are culpable - and the Judicial branch has failed to allow justice to be served, so it is compromised as well - The People need to let - demand - an administrator take over the federal government who will (a) honor the federal system, and return it to its true constitutional structure; (b) depose the usurper president (and his court of czars); (c) clean out all departments of the Executive branch, including the placemen of the corporate realm (who have been turning the U.S. government into a form of fascism); (d) dissolve Congress; and (e) call for elections within a time set (say 3 to 6 months). He desirably would also dissolve the central bank/Federal Reserve, and institute a cleanout of the financial system. So that the world is not held hostage to criminal types.
There is another form of 'economics' needed now to be ushered in anyway. One that does not hold people to be chattel, and does not destroy the environment in its mindless pursuit of 'growth' . But first things first.
How to bring 'first things first' about, practically?
Practically, by trusting in Spirit to help inform the process. 'The process':
Obama should level with the American people about his background, in his words, before an official inquiry takes place. And talking about official inquiries, and this cleansing in general of the federal Augean stables:
The public health authorities should share with the public what they know, and when they knew it, about such subjects as the downsides of Fluoridation and vaccines; the Bush administration should share, in their words, what they knew about 9/11 and when they knew it. Likewise the Mossad, and the Israeli government. Likewise the Maurice Strong/George Soros/Al Gore et al 'camp'. There should, in short, be a general purging, by people who need a purging, before Truth and Reconciliation commissions take over, and 'require'/are mandated the space for the truth to be told.
And if the former obviates the need for the latter, so be it. And so good.
Because it's time. It's time for truthtelling, and a Going Up in consciousness across the board. Leaving the basic drama behind, and entering a new phase of life on Earth. One more in alignment with the consciousness of the Creator.
And if you don't believe in such a Being, well, Have We got news for You. Basically, that You and We are One.
Let's stop pretending otherwise. We have other fish to fry, now. So to speak. Perhaps a better way to put it: We have another, higher space to occupy, now. In our consciousness. Where we are closer to the Divine. To our divine natures. As 'spiritual beings having a human experience'. To learn lessons - giving and receiving; now teacher, now pupil.
And then move on.

Who would have standing? Apparently, the U.S. Congress. The majority of whom are Democrats. And it was their leaders - particularly the Speaker of the House - who signed off on Obama's eligibility to be their party's candidate. Go figure.
What this is all amounting to is great Crisis. Which brings great Opportunity. Which is what the Power Elite are counting on. (Along with their collusion in the financial crisis, which has been orchestrated to and for their benefit - to pick up the pieces after the collapse at bargain prices, literally and so to speak.)
The answer? Since both the executive and the legislative branches of the federal government are culpable - and the Judicial branch has failed to allow justice to be served, so it is compromised as well - The People need to let - demand - an administrator take over the federal government who will (a) honor the federal system, and return it to its true constitutional structure; (b) depose the usurper president (and his court of czars); (c) clean out all departments of the Executive branch, including the placemen of the corporate realm (who have been turning the U.S. government into a form of fascism); (d) dissolve Congress; and (e) call for elections within a time set (say 3 to 6 months). He desirably would also dissolve the central bank/Federal Reserve, and institute a cleanout of the financial system. So that the world is not held hostage to criminal types.
There is another form of 'economics' needed now to be ushered in anyway. One that does not hold people to be chattel, and does not destroy the environment in its mindless pursuit of 'growth' . But first things first.
How to bring 'first things first' about, practically?
Practically, by trusting in Spirit to help inform the process. 'The process':
Obama should level with the American people about his background, in his words, before an official inquiry takes place. And talking about official inquiries, and this cleansing in general of the federal Augean stables:
The public health authorities should share with the public what they know, and when they knew it, about such subjects as the downsides of Fluoridation and vaccines; the Bush administration should share, in their words, what they knew about 9/11 and when they knew it. Likewise the Mossad, and the Israeli government. Likewise the Maurice Strong/George Soros/Al Gore et al 'camp'. There should, in short, be a general purging, by people who need a purging, before Truth and Reconciliation commissions take over, and 'require'/are mandated the space for the truth to be told.
And if the former obviates the need for the latter, so be it. And so good.
Because it's time. It's time for truthtelling, and a Going Up in consciousness across the board. Leaving the basic drama behind, and entering a new phase of life on Earth. One more in alignment with the consciousness of the Creator.
And if you don't believe in such a Being, well, Have We got news for You. Basically, that You and We are One.
Let's stop pretending otherwise. We have other fish to fry, now. So to speak. Perhaps a better way to put it: We have another, higher space to occupy, now. In our consciousness. Where we are closer to the Divine. To our divine natures. As 'spiritual beings having a human experience'. To learn lessons - giving and receiving; now teacher, now pupil.
And then move on.

The Elimination of Profit: It's Time
Nearly fifty years ago, in a less fraught time than now, I was moved to write the following:
'In this year it would appear/Auspicious time has come/for some clear thinking on/the state of the world, and what/can be done about it./I submit that/a society that thinks of such as war/and crime as inevitable, at least/until a further time, is already/well on its way into the dark night/of insanity,/having in the construction/of an artificial atmosphere, built/unintentionally, or not, or whatever combination/lost contact/with the greater reality around/that never sleeping ever presses in/on the so-called private dreams of men./Only with minds free/from the magnets of the moment/can we make/our way out, before it's too late/and many pull more back./To say:/No more money, no more crime./No more laws to break/anyway.'
I went on:
'How do we do it/without profit?/Simple. By installing/a system with no market but a heart:/unobstructed circulation, functioning/not on money, or some similar device/for level differential,/but on golden rule./And there you have your principle,/now man can produce at will,/and abundance/no longer a paradox,/grace without meaning.'
I think there was more; but that's the gist of it. And I reiterate it now, not just because it's time - which it is - and even past time; which it is. But because of one more straw in the wind today. It came in an email from an investigative journalist named Evelyn Pringle ("focused on exposing corruption in government and corporate America"). It was an article, second of two parts, on the drugging of America starting with its children. It said, in part:
"As of 2008, upwards of a million children in the United States - in many cases preschoolers - are on "mood-stabilizers" for bipolar disorder, even though the condition remains unrecognized in the rest of the world," Healy points out. [Healy is Dr. David Healy, a British pharmacology expert and author of the book 'Mania: A Short History of Bipolar Disorder'.]
"But there is no evidence that the drugs stabilize moods," he says. "In fact, it is not even clear that it makes sense to talk about a mood center in the brain."
"A further piece of mythology aimed at keeping people on the drugs," he reports, "is that these are supposedly neuroprotective - but there's no evidence that this is the case and in fact these drugs can lead to brain damage."
I am not sure that he is correct in questioning the idea that there is "a mood center in the brain", though it all may be simply a general effect of the brain damage involved - both before and after such treatment. For there is evidence that children in our 'day and age' ARE suffering from various forms of brain damage. But to treat them with the sort of thing that caused the problem in the first place is - like "the dark night of insanity" that I posited in the above Credo statement of mine of some fifty years ago - madness. And it is a madness that has been caused by one thing: the concept of profit. Which has taken our eye off the ball, of understanding what life is all about- what we COULD be doing with and for each other on this lovely planet we call Earth - and reduced us to acting as though we are mere mortals.
Mortals that have beliefs of various kinds, of something 'other', something larger involved than the simple life experience itself, in and of itself. But not REALLY believing it. Or we would be acting more like it is the truth than we are. And have been, for so long that we have been conditioned by it. 'It' - the "artificial atmosphere" I referred to above. Which has created "magnets of the moment". And the biggest of them all is the concept of profit.
It is the concept of profit that is causing humanity to trash its environment.* It is the concept of profit that drives pharmaceutical companies to look at ways to make money, including creating the very conditions that they will then come up with drugs to treat (as in side effects to other of their products). It is the concept of profit that causes Wall Street denizens to look out merely for themselves - so shortsighted in that pursuit that they would even threaten to bring down the very system that is rewarding them. The gaudy parade of madness goes on.
But not for much longer.
Profit is the Gordian knot of our day.
The answer is, simply, to eliminate it. And it disappears.
Because it is just that. A concept.
A concept that cannot stand against the reality that life has meaning, beyond merely in and for itself only.
And as soon as we start functioning from a space of a little more humility, and live by a sense of gratitude to our Creator for life with meaning, we will have our answer, to all the ills that beset us. And which we have been heir to, for 'time immemorial'.
Until now.
Recognizing, that
it's time.
* Yes, communism also trashed 'its' environment. But that was because that concept of life was still material-oriented. That there was nothing beyond the life experience itself. That life has no meaning BEYOND itself. And so there is no morality, or justice, or standards, except those imposed by the state. A state that was created out of the concept that the end justifies the means.
Another erroneous concept, that has bedeviled us terribly, through the centuries.
