Transcending the Political Blame Game

/by

politicalblamegameThe post-election political blame game occurring right now has reached almost Olympian proportion. I haven’t seen this much blame bashing and finger-pointing in all my 25+ years as a therapist.

What blame game, you might ask? Unless you have been living in a sterile bubble on Mars, this contentious race is still not over. There are those still hoping that someone will wave a magic wand, undo the election results, and their deepest wish for the first woman president will be granted.

We don’t always get what we want, so after Hillary Clinton lost the Electoral College count, the accusations began erupting fast and furious. It is sad to say, but what we are now witnessing is a nation of chronic blamers.

Hillary blames FBI Director James Comey for her loss; Bernie supporters blame the DNC for sabotaging his campaign (when polls showed he would have beat Trump); the pollsters blame those lying “unknown” Trump supporters for skewing polling results; Clinton supporters blame the press for painting an unrealistic “rosy” picture of Hillary’s chances of winning, and the blame list goes on and on.

At least Vladimir Putin is getting a break from always being blamed. This time around the U.S. disallowed Russian diplomats from observing the election process (fearing they would somehow influence it). Both sides have provided this service to each other for years in order to avoid voter fraud. If they hadn’t prevented observers this year, I’m sure they would be blaming Putin right now as well.

From a therapeutic standing, any good mental health professional will tell you that one can’t begin to transcend anger and heal until one first does some painful soul-searching and accepts responsibility for life choices. This whole election process is no different. First comes a little compassion and understanding…

In a recent viral post, Bernie Sanders acknowledged that Trump’s narrow victory (by about 300,000 votes) was a result of the anger of the American people. Anger towards the establishment, of which people view Hillary Clinton as a part of, as well as low wages, lack of decent jobs, and unfair tax advantages the rich enjoy.

The nation’s great divide was spotlighted in a recent poll by the Pew Research Center, asking voters to compare their lives with those of people like them 50 years ago. When Trump supporters were asked that question, 4 in 5 said life in the U.S. today is worse for people like them. A nearly equal number of voters backing Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton said life today is just as good or better.

This is extremely eye-opening. We are clearly a nation out of touch with our fellow-man—calling them idiots, racists, and a wholeblamegame torrent of “deplorable” labels. The question is WHY? They’re hurting and we dismiss them as somehow inferior to us. We all have some prejudices, so to point the finger at someone else is spiritual arrogance. There are a lot of people I don’t see eye to eye with, but name-calling is not the answer. Both sides are now equally guilty of hate speech.

There is finger-pointing going on with the Republican side as well. President-elect Trump blames “professional protestors” for trying to incite a civil war. Unfortunately, he may be right on that point. It is no secret that some of the anti-Trump protests in the US have been organized by groups that were sponsored by Clinton sympathizer and billionaire George Soros.

According to USA Today, last Wednesday saw protests in the streets of at least 10 major U.S. cities. Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Boston, Washington, D.C., Portland, Ore., St. Paul, Minn., Seattle, and several other cities. A long caravan of chartered coach buses was caught bringing protestors into Chicago—many who had responded to Soros-sponsored multi-city Craigslist ads offering them as much as $1500 a week to cause unrest.

stoptrumpadBack in August, hackers from a group called DC Leaks got into the private documents of The Open Society, an organization founded by George Soros. DC Leaks referred to Soros as “the architect and sponsor of almost every revolution and coup around the world for the last 25 years”.

While protesting might seem like fun and games to unemployed, directionless individuals, some of these people are now responsible for causing millions of dollars in property damage as well as personal injury.

People are pushing back. This week Soros was sued for over $500 million by the family of a Dallas policeman who was killed by a Soros-sponsored protestor. Peaceful protest is one thing. It’s our constitutional right to have our voice heard, but attempting to stir up violence and potential civil unrest to manipulate the masses for some elite political agenda clearly falls in the category of domestic terrorism.

It’s time to awaken from our shock and denial. A display of retaliatory anger and violence is not the answer. The hangover is lifting and we must accept that we are all Americans together. So when I talk about taking responsibility for one’s choices, the first would be the responsibility to see information from all sides.

I discovered early in the election process that CNN and other mainstream media were not reporting all the news we Americans needed to hear. I couldn’t understand why the networks had all colluded to ignore the damning information coming out of WikiLeaks using the lame excuse that the Russians were responsible for the hack, which somehow justified totally ignoring the content. I wanted to know what was not being revealed so I started including Fox TV News in my information gathering process.

I must admit I have never been a Fox News watcher and was shocked I would even consider it, but I did. To my amazement, I learned Fox was extensively reporting on the content of the WikiLeaks emails, just as was the online “alternative media”. Even though I am not a Trump supporter, I began to understand the Trump phenomenon. It soon became evident (at least to me) this was becoming a bigger movement than I thought.

Throughout the election process I was amazed that so many people I talked to didn’t have a clue about what was really going on in the Heartland of America or what was coming out of those multiple source email leaks. They, like so many others, were all mainstream media watchers.

Michael Moore, filmmaker of the documentary “TrumpLand”, saw the writing on the wall early on. He lives in the Heartland of America, not in the bubble of California Democratic Land, as I do. He knew Trump could win.

The only thing during this election that California got right was from the USC/LA Times poll which clearly showed Trump consistently ahead. The other national polls always showed Clinton with a rosy digit lead.

Were these other pollsters over-sampling Democrats, as some believe, or did they want us to believe their unrealistic numbers? These are questions we should all be asking ourselves. CNN and the other mainstream media stations quickly dismissed the USC/LATimes Poll as being “too experimental” even though this polling method, using a proprietary algorithm, showed the most accurate numbers during the Obama election as well. Now experts are calling this once “too experimental” poll as the new gold standard in polling. Unfortunately, it comes too late for much of the nation who was told to dismiss it.

A friend of mine, who is an intellectual news junkie, warned me before the election that anything outside of the mainstream papers was an “unreliable” news source which I shouldn’t pay any attention to. I didn’t listen, of course, and kept my thoughts to myself. I was on an open information quest.

After the election, this same friend revealed that he now felt betrayed by the same media he had always trusted and would never make that mistake again. He admits perhaps deep down he desperately wanted to believe what he was being told, which he now recognizes as a propaganda machine that mesmerized so many with false data.

Days after the election, the publisher of The New York Times penned a letter to readers promising that the paper would “reflect” on its coverage of this year’s election while re-dedicating itself to reporting on “America and the world” more honestly.

The publisher’s letter was released after the paper’s public editor, Liz Spayd, took the paper to task for its election coverage. She pointed out how its polling feature Upshot gave Hillary Clinton an 84 percent chance as voters went to the polls. She compared stories that the paper ran about President-elect Donald Trump and Clinton, where the paper made Clinton look functional and organized and the Trump discombobulated.

Spayd wrote, “Readers are sending letters of complaint at a rapid rate. Here’s one that summed up the feelings succinctly, from Kathleen Casey of Houston: “Now, that the world has been upended and you are all, to a person, in a state of surprise and shock, you may want to consider whether you should change your focus from telling the reader what and how to think, and instead devote yourselves to finding out what the reader (and nonreaders) actually think.”

Spayd cited another reader who asked the paper to focus on the electorate instead of “pushing the limited agenda of your editors.” It said: “Please come down from your New York City skyscraper and join the rest of us.”

Yes, much of the middle class is hurting and hoping that Trump will “drain the swamp” of political corruption in Washington. While some people’s intent may be seen by some as naive, or misplaced, none of this matters in the bigger picture. We are all more than the sum of this election. We are actually on the cusp of a real spiritual and political revolution.

Whether Trump will be the leader some people hope he will become, we will just have to wait and see. Like him or not, it’s time to give him a chance to prove himself. For most people, Trump represents fear of the unknown. Fear is not only the great destroyer, but the tool that has been used to manipulate the masses for centuries. Yes, Trump is certainly a wild card and, while not perfect (nor was Hillary), wouldn’t it floor us all if he actually managed to do some good?

I’m choosing to focus on him actually accomplishing positive change. If we are indeed all co-creators of our reality, then it is up to each one of us to choose cooperation over discord. I suspect this is really an evolutionary test for mankind. While it’s clear some of us are really struggling with the fear this election has stirred up, I trust we will work it out together in time. It’s really not the end of the world as some people might tell themselves.

So let’s take responsibility today for our thinking process as well as our behavior. Focus on the positive; let go of blame. Ultimately, we all want what is best for this country and we can make it happen.

Can Pathological Liars Change?

/by

pathologicaliarPathological liars are made, not born, say the experts. It is a learnt behavior, reinforced and hard-wired into the brain after repeatedly experiencing some benefit. It may start out as little white lies without consequence, then escalating over time to possibly destructive and/or criminal behavior.

At some time or another we’ve all come across a pathological liar. Once you catch them in a lie or two, it makes you start questioning everything they say. Frankly, I’m surprised Big Pharma hasn’t come up with a vaccine to remedy this affliction, since it appears to be at epidemic proportion during this year’s U.S. Presidential Election.

Some pathological liars lie for no good reason whatsoever. They often don’t realize that they’re even doing it.  In a recent study in Nature Neuroscience, scientists found that telling small, insignificant lies desensitized the brain to dishonesty. Lying begins feeling more comfortable over time, and the level of dishonesty than magnifies and escalates.

Tali Sharot, a neuroscientist at the University College London and senior author of the study, suspected, along with his colleagues, that pathological lying was due to changes in the brain’s response to lying, rather than simply being a case of one lie necessitating another to maintain a story.

The relay switch appears to be in the amygdala, which is the integrative center in the brain for emotions, emotional behavior, survival instincts, and motivation. In the study, 80 volunteers played a game in which they estimated the value of pennies in a jar and sent their guess to an unseen partner. Sometimes participants were told they would secretly benefit at their partner’s expense if they overestimated the cash in the jar, motivating them to lie.

Neil Garrett, also of UCL and a co-author, said: “We knew by how many British pounds they lied on each trial. The amount by which participants lied got larger and larger.” At first, volunteers tended to alter the jar’s value by around £1, but this typically ramped up to about £8 by the end of the session.

Twenty-five of the volunteers played the game while having their brain activity monitored by an MRI scanner. This showed that the amygdala was most active when people told their first lie. But while the untruths escalated in magnitude, the amygdala’s response gradually declined and larger drops in brain activity predicted bigger lies in the future.

The scientists speculate that the amygdala activity could represent the internal conflict between wantingpantsonfirejpeg to see oneself as honest and being tempted to act in self-interest by lying. This would fit with the scientists’ observation that people appeared to lie more readily in tasks where it benefited both themselves and their partner, possibly because it was easier to justify a lie that served the common good.

In an earlier 2005 study by the University of Southern California, a team of researchers found evidence of abnormal structural differences in the brains of pathological liars. They administered a series of personality tests to a random sample of 49 people. Twelve people were classified as habitual liars, 16 could be described as having antisocial personalities without being regular liars, and 21 tested as normal.

They then performed MRIs on all the subjects which showed 25 percent more white matter in the pre-frontal lobes of pathological liars when compared to the anti-social group. When compared to the normal control group, they had about 22 percent more white matter.

They concluded that pathological liars have a surplus of white matter and a deficit of gray matter. That means they have more tools to master the art of deceit. Normal people have more gray matter which helps keep the impulse to lie in check.

Taking both studies into account, one can see the correlation. Major connections to the “amygdala” also come from the medial “prefrontal cortex”.

So the question remains—can pathological liars change? An addict will always be an addict, but they can practice thought-stopping behavioral patterns to decrease the pathology. The key factor is they have to really want change and work diligently at stopping their destructive behavior.

The only real solution is conditioning children not to begin lying from Day 1. When a child takes an extra cookie before dinner and tries to hide it when caught, it’s up to the parent to discipline the child. If they don’t, the child’s brain quickly learns that lying works and the wiring is set in place. An unchecked lying child becomes the pathological adult liar.

On a recent Google search for “pathological liar” it was surprising to see Hillary Clinton’s picture pop up next to an explanation of the term, even though her name was never directly mentioned. When news outlets reported this with a screen capture of the Google search page snippet, Google promptly corrected the issue.

It is especially disheartening to see our corporate and political leaders engage in displays of lying to protect past deeds—and get away with it. Lying should never be tolerated, which is why 2016 is fast becoming the Year of Learning Discernment as we all try to sift the wheat from the chaff and resonate with our own Inner Truth.

Say NO to War with Russia

/by

nomorewarWhile the mainstream media distracts us with salacious reports about Donald Trump’s alleged improprieties and Bill Clinton’s indiscretions, the American public is kept in the dark about how close we are to an actual nuclear war with Russia over Syria.

Russia recently warned its citizens to not only know where their nearest bomb shelter is, but TV viewers were repeatedly told to be ready for a large-scale war. Shortly thereafter, 40 million Russian citizens took part in a massive country-wide defense drill to prepare them for a possible nuclear holocaust. Over 50% of the Russian people now believe that a serious conflict with the West is inevitable.

While our news tells us very little, U.S. military members who are in and around Syria have been calling their families back in the states telling them:

“We have been told to prepare for a tactical nuclear exchange with Russia in Syria and forces at home in the U.S. have been ordered to prepare for one-for-one intercontinental ballistic missile exchange(s) with Russia once the fighting breaks out in Syria!”

Further, those conversations have included warnings to families to immediately relocate away from U.S. Military bases which are expected to be targets of any intercontinental attack.

While this information can be found on the world-wide alternative media press, our mainstream media is ignoring or dismissing it, much like some of those damming WikiLeaks revelations. The Fourth Estate appears to be deaf AND in denial.

I am no supporter of any of the presidential candidates, but I do know one thing. Putin has made no secret of his stance regarding the U.S. Presidential election: “If it’s Hillary Clinton, It’s War.“

Hillary, a known War Hawk from her policies in both Iraq, Iran, Libya and Syria, continues to blame all these damaging email leaks on Russia. Newly leaked emails from Clinton Campaign Manager John Podesta show that Hillary Clinton’s campaign team was advising early on in the game to blame all leaks to Russian President Vladimir Putin, at the same time also linking Putin with Donald Trump in an apparent bid to distract voters from Clinton’s strategy on ISIS.

The media began beating the drums and conveniently released a story before the third and final debate that “17 of our intelligence agencies have confirmed that Russia is trying to influence our election”. Instead of 17 agencies, only the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have actually offered the public any input on this matter, claiming the DNC attacks “are consistent with the methods and motivations of Russian-directed efforts.”

Without offering any evidence, these two (not 17) agencies HINTED that the Kremlin COULD BE behind the cyberattack. But saying they BELIEVE the hacks come from the Russians is far short of saying they KNOW the Russians were behind them.

During an interview on Aaron Klein’s Sunday radio program, former high-ranking NSA intelligence official-turned-whistleblower, William Binney, discussed the alleged Russian involvement in our elections, suggesting the cyberattack against the DNC may not have originated from the Russian government at all. Instead, Binney says a “disgruntled U.S. intelligence worker” is likely behind the breach.

According to Binney, the FBI has access to the NSA database and that it’s accessed without any oversight, meaning the CIA as well as the FBI have open access to anything the NSA has access to.

“So if the FBI really wanted [Clinton’s and the DNC emails] they can go into that database and get them right now,” Binney told Klein.

Asked if he believed the NSA had copies of all Clinton’s emails, “including the deleted correspondence,” Binney said:

“Yes. That would be my point. They have them all and the FBI can get them right there.”

So why continue to blame Russia and “poke the bear” towards war over alleged election influencing that could cost thousands of innocent lives? By now, most of us are well aware that the CIA has been influencing elections for regime change for decades in countries all over the world. As they say, “people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.” Responding to accusations last week, the Russian presidential press secretary mentioned that “tens of thousands of hackers” try to break into the sites of Russian officials on a daily basis, but this never prompted Moscow to point a finger at Washington. Are we really ready to go to war over hacking practices both governments are guilty of?

You have to ask why is there a growing drumbeat for the United States to go to war with Russia—especially over Syria. When asked, most people will tell you they are not even sure why we are in Syria in the first place. No one invited us. Some will spout the standard Western propaganda line they have been fed: “Because their president is a cruel, evil tyrant, that tortures his people.”

How often have the people of the United States been lied to about the need for war using a “humanitarian crisis” to justify mass slaughter and the creation of a failed state as in Libya; Weapons of Mass Destruction that did not exist in Iraq leading to a war that created much of the chaos that exists in the region today; and the 9/11 attack that has led to the longest war in U.S. history when it should have led to the arrest of the prime suspect, Osama bin Laden, and his trial in the Hague.

For those who need a quick “Why are we in Syria?” overview, here it is: The Syrian Civil War started in 2011 while Hillary Clinton was U.S. Secretary of State. This was shortly after the U.S. regime change in Libya. What were her reasons for the U.S. getting involved? Some of the answers come direct from a recent WikiLeaks release:

“The best way to help Israel deal with Iran’s growing nuclear capability is to help the people of Syria overthrow the regime of Bashar Assad,” Clinton states in one of many unclassified documents by the US Department of State under case number F-2014-20439, Doc No. C05794498.

The email makes it clear that it has been US policy from the very beginning to violently overthrow the Syrian government—and specifically to do this because it is in Israel’s best interests. Russia is simply getting in the way of accomplishing that goal, so therefore they become our enemy.

Clinton also asserts, this would allow Syria (and other “adversaries of Israel” such as Saudi Arabia and Egypt) to “go nuclear as well,” all of which would threaten Israel’s interests.

Clinton says Syria has to be destroyed…

“Iran’s nuclear program and Syria’s civil war may seem unconnected, but they are. What Israeli military leaders really worry about — but cannot talk about — is losing their nuclear monopoly.

An Iranian nuclear weapons capability would not only end that nuclear monopoly but could also prompt other adversaries, like Saudi Arabia and Egypt, to go nuclear as well. The result would be a precarious nuclear balance in which Israel could not respond to provocations with conventional military strikes on Syria and Lebanon, as it can today.

If Iran were to reach the threshold of a nuclear weapons state, Tehran would find it much easier to call on its allies in Syria and Hezbollah to strike Israel, knowing that its nuclear weapons would serve as a deterrent to Israel responding against Iran itself.

The end of the Assad regime would end this dangerous alliance. Israel’s leadership understands well why defeating Assad is now in its interests.”

But destroying Syria for Israel is not the only reason we are embroiled in this quagmire. There are those that claim the real reason the U.S. wanted Syrian President Bashar Assad out of power was due to what has been called the “Pipeline War.”

Qatar wanted to run a natural gas pipeline from its northern gas field, through various countries, including Syria, to supply natural gas tosyriapipelinemap Europe. The US and Europe wanted this gas pipeline to lessen European reliance upon Russian-supplied natural gas and therefore lessen Russia’s world influence.

Since Syria has always been a Russian ally, Assad realized that this pipeline would harm his Russian ally. He refused permission to have it travel through his country which did not sit well with Qatar or its Sunni-Islam allies, like Saudi Arabia. At the same time, Iran, which is Shi’ite Muslim and thus an enemy of Sunni Muslim countries, was proposing a gas pipeline of its own to Europe, via a different route. (You can see from the map that all proposed pipeline routes HAD to go through Syria for easy access.)

Shortly after Assad refused the U.S. backed pipeline going through his country, there was a vast media blitz about him being a “ruthless dictator” who “abused his people” and all the same rhetoric the world heard about Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi and the like.

Shortly after the media assault, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain decided to begin funding “freedom fighters” and “moderate rebels” to “liberate” Syria from its democratically elected President, Assad. This began the so-called Syrian Civil War. It was not a civil war, it was groups of mercenaries, hired and paid by Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the rest, to oust Assad so as to get their pipeline run.

Their motivation was not simply earning profits from the gas pipeline, they also wanted to make certain that their arch-rival, Iran, could not run a pipeline and thus get access to vast monies from expanded sales.

Fighting broke out inside Syria and as the conflict grew worse, Assad asked his ally, Russia, for help. Russia agreed and sent troops, planes and war-fighting equipment to Syria.

The Russians not only tipped the balance in favor of Syria, they uncovered the fact that the terror groups ISIS and Al-Nusra Front (a.k.a. Al-Qaida), were actively profiting from stealing oil from Syria and from northern Iraq, transporting that stolen oil into Turkey, where it was being processed, re-packaged, and sold. The Russians proved that this oil theft and smuggling, with the cooperation of Turkey, was earning ISIS about $100 Million a month in profits to fund the terror group.

In order to stop ISIS terrorists, Russia began bombing the convoys carrying the stolen oil. This immediately put a crimp in the amount of stolen oil being smuggled into Turkey, thus impacting the clandestine profits of certain Turkish government officials. Turkey asked Russia to stop bombing the oil convoys. Russia refused.

Shortly thereafter, a Russian plane was shot down by Turkey, which claimed the Russian aircraft had violated its airspace. That claim was a lie. Turkey shot the plane down to send a message to Russia to stop screwing around with the oil smuggling. The message did not work.

Instead of halting the attacks, Russia publicly released video showing miles-long convoys of oil trucks, streaming into Turkey almost 24 hours a day, with stolen oil smuggled from Syria and Iraq. These smugglers didn’t even have to stop at border checkpoints; they got waved-through by border guards. This made clear who it was inside Turkey, profiting from the smuggled oil: Turkish President Recep Erdogan, the same man who ordered the Russian plane shot down.

Russia then imposed a travel ban on Russians visiting Turkey, and imposed economic sanctions on Turkey, which seriously damaged Turkey’s economy.

As the months of fighting in Syria continued, the Russians enjoyed success after success in stopping both the terror groups and the rebels trying to overthrow Assad.

This did not sit well with the U.S., which was aiding the “rebels” in the effort to overthrow Assad. It also didn’t help the U.S. that the media was full of stories about Russian successes, and this got people asking why Russia was having so much success, when Americans had been in Syria for over a year prior, and did not make any progress against the terrorists?

The uncomfortable truth emerged when it became undeniably clear that the ISIS and Al-Qaeda terrorists are the “moderate rebels” being helped by the U.S.

While all this was taking place, NATO was expanding eastward along Russia’s borders. This violated a promise made by then Secretary of State James Baker, who promised after the Soviet Union dissolved, that “NATO would not move one inch eastward.” Since Baker’s promise, NATO has added the Baltic States of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia to its membership.

In an effort to increase NATO presence around Russia, the U.S. spent $5 Billion to foment a violent overthrow of the duly-elected President of Ukraine, so as to install a puppet government favorable to the West (our CIA at work). This was discovered when Assistant Secretary of State Gloria Nuland got caught using an unsecured phone to call the State department. It was during this call, which was intercepted by Russian Intelligence, that Nuland notoriously said “Fuck Europe” when told the Europeans had concerns about what the U.S. was doing in the Ukraine. That phone call was made public by Russia, thus proving U.S./NATO did organize the overthrow and lied about it.

Most recently, Poland and Romania became home to a U.S. Missile Defense systems, designed to shoot missiles out of the sky. Russia says these systems are designed to prevent Russia from firing back if it is fired upon, making them a “sitting duck” for a U.S./NATO first-strike, and they strongly warned NATO not to activate the systems in Poland and Romania.

NATO said the Russian fears are nonsense, the systems are there to protect against launches from Iran. There’s just one minor problem: All the radar stations connected to this missile defense system are aimed east/northeast at Russia instead of south/southeast at Iran. So the U.S./NATO lied, again. And got caught, again.

There are those who claim this conflict in Syria is not just about a “Pipeline War” or getting rid of Assad for Israel’s interest, but is a U.S. decision to support Turkey, Qatar and Saudi Arabia (three Sunni Allies) in order to continue to maintain key U.S. military bases in the region and protect Pentagon, CIA, State Department and the Obama White House interests. It’s likely all of the above.

But now the U.S. is opening an even bigger can of worms. They have awakened the “sleeping tiger”. This week, China told Moscow that they will join in the bombing in nowarwithsyriaSyria from their Aircraft Carrier. This has serious implications.

Iran has two chief allies, Russia and China. They have stood by Iran through the thick and thin especially with controlling interest as permanent members of the United Nation’s Security Council. Without Russia and China, Shiite Iran would have been history decades ago.

Today, once again, they are proving that they will be prepared to stand in opposition to the United States and NATO because all four are vying for world dominion. The world’s prophetic nations are aligning themselves either for or against either of these two global forces.

Being realistic, the U.S. must have a death wish to come up against both Russia and China, and their wise generals have to know this. It’s a no-win situation. We, the American People, have to stand up and say NO to War just like they did during the protest days of  the Vietnam War. There will be no more lives lost for foolish and failed policies. It has always been prophesied that World War III would be nuclear war of immense proportion. While the rich may have their well-stocked bunkers, the rest of us would have to live with the dire consequences.

Russia is now claiming the world’s first weapon to use microwave energy ‘death-rays’ to target military drones. According to Russia’s United Instrument Manufacturing Company (OPK), the weapon has undergone successful prototype testing and is ready to be rolled out. The generals claim there is no other weapon like it in the world.

Wake up America and pay attention! All that Russian propaganda and saber-rattling is just another way to control the people in getting onboard and sacrificing their loved ones, once again, for a stupid and unconscionable war. We are at a critical juncture. As John Lennon and Yoko Ono once proclaimed on a Billboard in New York’s Times Square, “War is Over! If You Want it.” Choose wisely. Choose Peace not War.

WikiLeaks: Government Conspires to Keep the People “Unaware”

/by

wikileaksbiThe latest release of WikiLeaks emails shows global policy strategist, Bill Ivey, admitting to Clinton’s campaign manager, John Podesta, that “we are all content to demean government, drop civics, and in general conspire to produce an unaware and compliant citizenry”. If this policy makes you angry, it should.

We oftentimes are too ready to accept what government, industry, and mainstream media tells us is true. These sectors of our society count on the fact that this will never change.  That we will be good little citizenry—blindly accepting their policies for the benefit of the greater good. The greater good usually being the one percent elite in power. While they gain, we the people (or sheeple as they think of us) suffer the pain through failed policies, bank bailouts, and lives lost in senseless wars.

Well, those days are over. The people are awakening, and it probably scares the hell out of government pundits who think they still hold sway over us. For decades they have shaped our beliefs through paid off news sources and organizations who are told what to write and print—all with the goal of keeping us indefinitely unaware and compliant.

But, if we have been unaware for so long, we have only ourselves to blame. As they say in the movie The Matrix, it’s a choice between embracing the sometimes painful truth of reality (taking the red pill) or opting for the blissful ignorance of illusion (the blue pill). Get out your red pills, for the times they are a changing.

One has to ask oneself why do some people so readily believe the likes of CNN polls, rosy economic figures disseminated by evolutionofsheeplegovernment  agencies, and the increasing propaganda policies justifying pre-emptive war strategies? There is an answer.

As countless social experiments have shown, it is because we want to go along with the crowd. We don’t want to stand out or make waves. There is comfort and safety in uniformity. And this is what the global policy strategists of the world count on to lead us and mass deceive us.

The National Geographic Channel’s Brain Games show conducted several social experiments that actually prove people are like sheep and will follow the leader even if they don’t know why. Take a look at what happens when one woman did something that made no sense, only to have others copy her. It’s not only astounding, but disheartening:

This same Brain Games show then demonstrated how peer pressure can make someone, who knows the right answer, go along with the crowd and choose the obvious wrong answer to avoid being different. They claim people’s brains are hard-wired to want to fit in.  SEE HERE

Scientists at the University of Leeds conducted research that proves the tendency for many people to act like sheep. The study shows that it takes a minority of just five percent to influence a crowd’s direction – and that the other 95 percent follow without even realizing what is going on. This doesn’t say much for mankind, but explains why so many people are easily swayed by what they read in the mainstream news as being bonafide truth.

No one wants to think they may be part of the sheeplehood—which has nothing at all to do with intellect or how highly educated you are. The world has a place for followers and there is nothing wrong with this. But, how does one awaken and foster free thinking whether they are a follower or a leader at heart.

First, accept the fact that you don’t have to please everyone. It’s not necessary in life, and virtually impossible to have everyone agree with you or even like you. So stop trying to fit in. Be yourself, even if it’s really different. Live your dreams and your beliefs. Love yourself and your differences and make yourself happy instead of everyone else.

As you follow these goals, you will find your awareness and consciousness growing. You will feel more confident. You will let go of fear. And, most of all, you will start seeing through the lies. You will be able to detect political spin and what is clearly the illusion of these days and times.

You might even find yourself chuckling at how the political polls are wildly different for each news station depending on the candidate they have sold their soul to, and know you are no longer one of the “unaware” and “compliant” ones. Always follow your inner truth, no one else’s and you will have freed your self from societal enslavement. Then they will have failed, and YOU will have won.

Transforming Anger Into Compassion

/by

compassionNo one has to be taught how to be angry. It can rise up out of the depths spontaneously when we feel the most hurt and powerless, causing a need to lash out—sometimes even violently with either words or actions. If it has no outlet and is turned inward, it eventually becomes depression.

Lately, there’s been a whole lot of anger going around. We all know our world is changing and change brings on anxiety, anger, and even hate towards those who aren’t in agreement. Whether it stems from electing a new country leader, or worrying about the economy or another war, we are all in this together.

So why are we so angry with each other these days? Anger is like a toxin in one’s body. It ultimately will bring on illness or disease if it goes unchecked. Now more than ever is the time to embrace compassion, especially with our most mortal enemies and oppositional foes.

A Buddhist friend of mine recently sent me her thoughts on compassion, which was a great reminder that each of us has the opportunity to transform anger into something more heart-related. Let’s call it fostering the “Compassionate Heart.”

Compassion is all about having concern and empathy for the suffering of others. But should we have compassion for those people who intentionally steal, murder, and cause mankind untold hardship for their own gain? Having compassion for them means recognizing the negative and self-injurious way they have chosen to live. My friend says it is a double-edged sword. While they are harming others, they are ultimately harming themselves as well—something they often realize way too late in life.

A good example would be soldiers who have been sent into battle to kill, only to come back from war often physically maimed and emotionally destroyed themselves. We should have compassion for their actions. Killing is against man’s spiritual nature. It doesn’t matter if one’s government has told us we must kill or not. Everything comes down to choice. Is it a heathly choice or a harmful choice?

In fact, every event in our life is a mirror image with which to learn from. Each day we make self-choices through our direct actions or non-reactions. Tibetan teachings stress that compassion is strongly connected to one’s awareness of the results of one’s negative actions.

If someone steals from you, they may never think about how their actions have caused you grief or harm. Can we then have compassion for their ignorance and lack of empathy? Yes. It will certainly come back to them at some point, so perhaps we can have compassion for the future distress they have brought upon themselves. While this is intended to be nonjudgmental in nature, the old saying “karma is a bitch” still holds true.

I think back to someone I once knew who dappled in the black arts to get revenge on someone they perceived to have “dumped” them. They sought to destroy the person by any means possible. In essence they sold their soul for a brief moment of retaliatory satisfaction. They knew what they were doing was wrong, but failed to think about how they were harming and ultimately destroying their self. One can hope to have compassion for such vengeful actions versus being angry at their profound stupidity.

“Compassion is the ultimate expression of your highest self.” – Richard Simmons

We should meditate upon compassion for a few minutes each day to help awaken this understandingcompassion2 within us. Practicing it makes it become more natural. As the Dali Lama once said, “This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.”

There are scientific studies that suggest there are physical benefits to practicing compassion. People who practice it produce 100 percent more DHEA, which is a hormone that counteracts the aging process, and 23 percent less cortisol — the “stress hormone.” It’s a much simpler and healthier choice than taking prescription drugs.

There are emotional and spiritual benefits as well. It helps you be happier, which affects those around you who also benefit. It turns out that compassion is one of the main tools for achieving happiness. It gives you a sense of inner peace.

I find compassion is easiest to attain when I remember that we are all spiritual beings having a human experience. Instead of recognizing the differences between oneself and others, try to recognize what you have in common. Ignore the differences. We all have friends, family and loved ones who don’t think the way we do, yet we still accept them. We can all learn to cultivate compassionate attention, compassionate thinking, compassionate feeling, and compassionate behavior. The more we work together, the more we can make this journey of life more bearable.

As an added benefit, out of compassion can come true wisdom. Someone once asked me if I could have anything I wanted, what would it be. I told them “wisdom” for one who has wisdom, has it all. But it all starts with a little compassion.

Lost Atlantean Structure Discovered in Baltic Sea

/by

baltic_sea_monumentOur oceans hold many secrets to man’s early origins. Back in 2011, while searching for shipwrecks in the Baltic Sea, some marine treasure hunters using sonar detection equipment picked up an unusual giant underwater object.

The seafloor structure was 200 feet in diameter, circular, and had a terraced stone construction. Initially they thought the anomaly might belong to the Paleolithic Age. Now, due to its strange properties and further testing, the Ocean X team that discovered it believes it was built by the highly advanced Atlantean civilization over 14,000 years ago.

Co-discoverer and Ocean X team leader Dennis Aasberg describes just a few of the geometric features presented by the disc-shaped temple rising above the sea floor:

“It looks like a round object separated from the bottom. It looks… like concrete. When we brush it off its [surface is] black. The object looks the same underneath as on the upper side. Same color too. Just like a plate on the bottom. And it has something that looks like big stairs… perhaps one meter high each step. Its strange… We have not been able to find more holes besides the 2 meter hole with a [recessed] square [formation] around it.”

balticseamonumentA detailed Ocean X report states that there are prohibitive conditions that have severely limited filming of the ancient monumental structure, especially rough seas and very poor bottom visibility. Animated digital terrain models allow a clearer perspective of the massive proportions and complex geometric configuration of the submerged monument.

The greatest hindrance to the seafloor site investigation is an intense electromagnetic vortex that perpetually interferes with all types of electrical equipment situated on or above the ancient monument. In a vertical water column formation, it affects onboard ships on the sea surface and even low-flying airplanes.

The same researchers report that this special type of potentially dangerous EM vortex causes digital magnetometers and compasses to spin perpetually in proximity to the temple and directly above it, a fact that is familiar to military and civilian pilots working in the vicinity of pyramids all over the world, especially in Egypt, Mexico and Guatemala. (Also similar in nature to the anomalies experienced intermittently in the Bermuda Triangle.)

The Baltic Sea Monument (60.826°N 19.796°E) is situated 2,194 miles from the Great Pyramid; a distance corresponding to 8.81% of Earth’s mean circumference distance of 24,892 miles. The artificial stonework of the monument effectively transduces EM fields from localized infrasound resonance.

The sharp geometric design of the giant disc-like structure (which some claim might be a UFO) displays parallel corridors with flat, vertical walls and horizontal terraces forming perfect 90° angled corners that can be clearly observed in the latest digital animations by Ocean X.

The most conspicuous man-made geometric structure on this massive stepped platform monument is a large hemispherical dome feature emerging from the slimy silt that likely served to focus ultra and infrasonic waves into a hemispherical inner chamber, accessed from the adjacent recessed corridor.

The elevated position of the submerged Atlantean temple site provides for slightly greater current flow over the structure. This has reduced the total amount of silt deposit on the monument over the course of 14,000 years since its cataclysmic submersion. The upper platforms of the sunken temple are covered in only 10-20cm of silt, which allowed the Ocean X divers to discern huge geometric symbols cast into the ancient cement building that represent Paleo-Sanskrit hieroglyphs of an ancient culture.

“The 2 meter hole with a square around it” described by lead investigator Dennis Aasberg forms a sacred votive ligature combining the symbols of a square and a dot at its center. The square glyph represents a planet, while the dot represents a numeral, together reading: Indra , meaning “Jupiter, the One”.

baltic_sea_monument6This phrase was also airbrushed in charcoal paint on the 19,000 year old geopolymer limestone cement walls of Lascaux Cave, France, as a square with a long row of dots reiterating “Jupiter, the One, the One…”

The same Atlantean votive phrase was cast in hieroglyphic format multiple times in magnetized basalt stonework at the Puma Punku megalithic temple, constructed 11,000 years ago at Tiwanaku, Bolivia. Elevated square healing platforms referencing the transduced infrasonic resonance of the plasma giant Jupiter are prominently featured at both Puma Punku and the Baltic Sea monument.

The circular format of the entire temple and its singular dome present the Paleo-Sanskrit numeral ‘1’ used by Atlantean spiritual traditions to praise “The One”—the universal divine creative force. Reinforcing this phrase are Edgar Cayce’s statements concerning the spiritual tenets of “The Law of One”:

“[I]n that sojourn in the earth environment in what is called Poseidia, in Atlantis… we find there had been the separating into groups… The Sons of Belial were… those that sought more the gratifying, the satisfying, the use of material things for self… those without a standard of morality… save of self, self-aggrandizement.

The other group, those who followed the Law of One,  had a standard… Their standard was that the soul was given by the Creator or entered from outside sources into the projection of the mental and spiritual self at the given periods. That was the standard of the Law of One, but was rejected by the Sons of Belial…

[These opposing groups directed] those forces that came with the use of the light that formed the rays upon which the influence from without was crystallized into what would become as the sound from the outer realm to the static or individual realm.

These were not only the rays from the sun, set by the facets of the stones as crystallized from the heat from within the elements of the earth itself, but were as the combination of these… For it was these gases, these influences that were used for what we call today the conveniences as for light, heat, motivative forces; or radial activity, electrical combinations; the motivative forces of steam, [HHO] gas and the like for the conveniences.

The use of these influences by the Sons of Belial brought, then, the first of the upheavals; or the turning of the etheric rays’ influence from the Sun–as used by the Sons of the Law of One  into the facet for the activities of same– produced what we would call a volcanic upheaval; and the separating of the [Atlantean] land into several islands –five in number. (Reading 877-26)”

Cayce’s detailed trance statements identified a technological class of Atlantean crystalline stone consisting of a “combination” of “the elements of the Earth,” corresponding to the modern scientific definition of a geopolymer, of the same class as the reconstituted limestone blocks of the Great Pyramid.

Modern Vedic language traditions in India have preserved the Sanskrit technical term for this advanced type of artificial metallic geopolymer stone, based on the root word anala, meaning ‘fire’. This type of manufactured stone was designed to ignite HHO plasma around the Atlantean pyramids and monuments, and was commonly known as analopala, meaning ‘fire-stone’. (This term does not refer to simple flint rocks that are struck to produce sparks, as the word ‘flint’ is specified by the Sanskrit ‘agniprastara’.)

Further details were offered on the subject of synthetic stone over the course of decades of readings given by Edgar Cayce for individuals with past lives in the Atlantean lands, naming the scientific leader and inventor of Atlantean firestone geopolymer as ‘Ajax of Ode’, called Ax-tell in the area of present-day Egypt:

“The entity came from the Atlantean land into Egypt when there were those periods of reconstruction in the land, and from those turmoils and strifes there arose much that made for individual and group development –and the attempt of those in the experience to foster… those things that were good… The entity came then, in the name Ax-tell, from those forces that were in charge of the Law of the One. (Reading 487-17)

About the firestone that was in the experience did the activities of the entity then make those applications that dealt with both the constructive and destructive forces in the period… The preparation of this stone was in the hands only of the initiates at the time… that directed the influences of the radiation that arose in the form of the rays that were invisible to the eye but that acted upon the stones themselves… (Reading 440-5)

The stones… were of the magnetized influence upon which the Spirit of the One spoke to those peoples as they gathered in their service, are of the earliest Atlantean activities in religious service… (Reading 5750-1)”

These astonishingly detailed descriptions of advanced technological and spiritual means of the Atlantean civilization, spoken in trance in the 1930s, provide a viable explanation for odd EM vortex phenomena experienced by the Ocean X team at the sunken Baltic Sea Monument, as recounted by Peter Lindberg:

“Electronic disturbances with equipment started on the water’s surface, but it was on their way down to the anomaly that the problems increased. The satellite phone didn’t work when the boat was directly over the object, but just some tens of meters away from [that exact] position they worked again…

Electrical problems were experienced on all expeditions to the anomaly. The camera stopped working, lamps stopped working, satellite phones stopped working, [and we experienced] some technical issues with the robot. [The] electrical camera [on the ROV and the] BlueView [multibeam imaging sonar] function stopped working…

A strong radio signal of 40-50 megahertz was picked up when they were near the object. (Dennis [Aasberg] said that [the signal] wasn’t coming from the [seafloor] object.)”

baltic_sea_monument9After a series of EM field-induced equipment malfunctions including a perpetually spinning magnetometer and several electrical short-outs that rendered their ROV inoperable during their June, 2012 expedition, Ocean X divers finally managed to obtain a few small hand samples from the sunken monumental structure for submission to multiple laboratories in Sweden and Israel for comprehensive material analyses.

A multilayered, roughly rectangular sample of the stone-like material composing the monument was found laying on its surface, under several centimeters of silt at a depth of 85m. The sample was subsequently broken into several fragments for conducting various petrological analyses, including chemical resistance tests, morphological characterization by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and determinations of elemental composition by energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS).

An initial visual inspection reveals an abundance of fine metallic inclusions throughout the stone-like material that appears to have been reconstituted from a finely pulverized mixture of basalt, quartz and tourmaline, conferring piezoelectric properties to the composite artificial basalt material.

Tests conducted by the Weizmann Institute and Tel Aviv University’s Institute of Archaeology included SEM imaging of the artificial basalt sample, exposing a variety of distinctive features not found in naturally crystallized volcanic basalt. Instead, these features characterize ancient magnetic geopolymer basalt and andesite now conclusively identified at multiple sites dating to the Paleolithic period of high civilization.

The sample taken from the object was analyzed by the Weizmann Institute in Israel. Their tests indicate this is no ordinary rock. It contains abnormally high concentrations of titanium, manganese and iron. The metals are all key materials in the manufacture of high-tech aerospace components.

EDS results identified high metal concentrations of iron, manganese and titanium elevated far above standard abundance values for natural, geologically-formed specimens. Manganese and titanium are paramagnetic metals not found in pure states in nature, but as mineral compounds. Iron is ferromagnetic.

The interspersed particulate combination of ferromagnetic and paramagnetic metals with piezoelectric crystals observed in Atlantean firestone represents a high-efficiency semiconductor material that converts and amplifies all frequencies of electromagnetic energy into an EM vortex surrounding the construction.

The high-tech metallic composition of reconstituted basalt comprising the Baltic Sea Monument decisively indicates a man-made origin for the extensive site as an ancient geopolymer fabrication, matching similarly manufactured stones from Paleolithic pyramid complexes in Visoko, Bosnia; Cianjur, West Java, Indonesia; and La Maná, Ecuador.

The advanced technological remains of such Paleo-Sanskrit civilization are closely linked with the work of Nikola Tesla. Atlantean pyramids, stepped monuments and megalithic temples conform to a global wireless power and telecommmunications network displaying a spherical Fibonacci distribution pattern defined by the quantum function [ zn+1 = zn2 ]. Infrasound is transduced and focused by Atlantean temples through the same standing wave resonance principles rediscovered by Tesla in 1899.

The function of the Baltic Sea Monument’s enigmatic stair-stepped feature is also hinted at in the Life Readings on Atlantis given by Edgar Cayce. He explains that Atlantean society included humanoid species of various sizes, from diminutive dwarf species to extraordinarily giant humanoid species:

Q:  Please give a few details regarding the physiognomy, habits, customs and costumes of the people of Atlantis..
A:  These took on many sizes as to stature, from that as may be called the midget to the giants, for there were giants in the earth in those days, men as tall as ten to twelve feet in stature, and in proportion—well proportioned throughout. (Reading 364-11)

The sunken monument’s unusually slanted staircase was specially designed for use by 1m dwarves on the far left side, by humans on the mid-left and by 4m giants on the right side of the wide-access staircase. This group included the ‘little people’ known to Shoshone culture as Nimerigar (ie. the ‘Pedro’ mummy), and the Nephalim of Biblical legend—a giant, domineering extraterrestrial species associated with human sacrifice—best known from skulls excavated at Paracas, Peru (the Paracas Skulls).

The many profound sociological, technological, historical and linguistic implications of the Baltic Sea Monument have certainly contributed to Swedish Naval interference with the Ocean X marine expedition in June of 2012, as reported by team leader Dennis Aasberg. He asks the obvious, unanswered question: “Why does the [Swedish] military want to take part in this [marine site investigation]?… What do you think? Perhaps they already know what [it is that] we have found?”

The strong 40-50 MHz signal registered in the immediate vicinity of the massive Atlantean monument corresponds to a very high frequency (VHF) sonar beam, most likely emitted from the group of six command ships deployed by the Swedish Navy to intercept the June, 2012 expedition. The Naval group waylaid and actively disrupted Ocean X investigators by beaming the monument with high-intensity sonar, intentionally overloading electronics with the strong EM field resonantly transduced by the firestone.

baltic_sea_monument12Subversive goals being pursued by the Swedish military pertain to the ongoing worldwide governmental black-out of ‘free energy’ technology embodied by ancient pyramid complexes on every continent. Wide ridge formations at the Baltic Sea site have been recognized by Ocean X researchers as elevated causeways linking the main circular monument to two nearby megalithic structures that have been only partially revealed by initial side-scanning sonar surveys.

The Baltic Sea Monument is part of an extensive megalithic complex dating to the remote Paleolithic era, much like the gargantuan complex of stepped platform monuments, temples, caves, plazas, roadways and a complete amphitheater documented at the submerged site just offshore at Yonaguni Island, Japan. The same oppressive scenario surrounds the discovery of a submerged pyramid site in the Azore Islands, as Portuguese military involvement has effectively prevented release of further details on the subject.

These giant structures constitute resonant platforms for sophisticated bioelectrical qi healing practices that have been preserved in strict secrecy by adepts of the Buddhist spiritual traditions of Southeast Asia.

As for the Ocean X team’s Baltic Sea site investigation, the Swedish military along with TitanTV Media, delayed film editing for six months without explanation and effectively silenced Aasberg’s team with piecemeal project funding and mandatory non-disclosure agreements offered under the guise of purchasing film rights to all data produced by the investigation.

Since 2011 this discovery continues to be embroiled in scientific controversy. Some scientists are actually claiming the structure is a natural geological formation—even the stairs. Yet, no one has been able to explain the strange EM phenomena coming from the site. Consequently, the finding has been appropriately dubbed the “Baltic Sea Anomaly.” As new testing is revealed, some day we may actually put this controversy to rest. It would be great to finally put Atlantis back on the map.

“I’ll Have the Edward Snowden Room, Please”

/by

22min2101snowden

On a recent business trip, I happened to have a 12-hour layover in the Moscow Sheremetyevo Airport. Without a Russian Visa, I couldn’t leave the airport and was virtually confined to temporary international limbo.

I secured a room at the small Capsule Hotel located inside the airport in Terminal E. Sound familiar?

It was hard to find. The hotel’s modest entrance is hidden in an unobtrusive corner of the airport you can easily miss. It doesn’t look like a hotel. It looks like a door to an employee lounge. It’s located right across from a glass-enclosed area where stranded travelers, with rumpled blankets and pillows, sleep on a matted floor waiting for their next day flights.

I was lucky to get a room for the night at around $114 USD. I asked the late night receptionist on duty whether this facilityimg_3754 was the same “Capsule Hotel” Edward Snowden stayed at when the U.S. government revoked his passport while en route to Ecuador, leaving him stuck in the Russian airport without valid travel documents.

“Yes,” she admitted, having probably been asked the same question at least a thousand times. It was almost midnight, but I was suddenly curious to see where this national security risk had spent six long weeks.

“I’ll have the Edward Snowden room, please,” I said. She didn’t say a word. Didn’t even crack a smile. Just handed me my room key. I will never know if it was “The” room, but it was the smallest little prison-like cell I’ve ever stayed overnight in. I couldn’t fathom being stuck there for over a month not even able to wander the terminal.

img_3747This past week I saw the Oliver Stone movie “Snowden” where they showed his Moscow Airport room. Yep, definitely like mine. It brought back memories of not only my own brief stay, but all that has happened since 2013 as a result of this brave man’s act.

If you haven’t seen the Snowden movie, I strongly encourage you to see it. Snowden is not some low-level hacker as initially painted by President Obama. This is a man who had very high level security clearances, as well as a strong sense of moral and ethical values. He wanted to do what he felt was right for his country.

No matter what side you fall on regarding his actions, you have to admit that Snowden not only changed our world, but also how the entire intelligence community now works. That’s an incredible accomplishment.

Here’s a list of a few things which came out of Snowden’s NSA surveillance leaks:

  1. The Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CIISPA), an “information sharing” bill was indefinitely shelved. The intelligence community protested the hold-up, but the reconsideration of this privacy-destroying legislation was probably the most positive effect Snowden has had in Congress. The bill, which was universally condemned by civil liberties advocates when it passed the House in 2012 and 2013, would have given the NSA even more access to Americans’ personal data – along with more immunity to the companies who would have free reign to hand over that data to the spy agency.
  2. There were two-dozen reform bills which were introduced by elected representatives, recommending broad changes to the structure and power of the NSA. Consequently, the House passed a bill that would stop bulk collection of phone metadata. U.S. District Federal Court Judge Richard Leon said the NSA phone surveillance program was “unconstitutional”.
  3. Director of National Intelligence James Clapper had to admit he lied to Congress after being asked, under oath, if the NSA collected data on millions, or hundreds of millions, of Americans. (You can watch his actual false testimony in the film “Snowden”.)
  4. The big tech companies started fighting for user privacy rights, adding encryption measures for email after the revelation that the NSA was accessing company servers via its PRISM program. Ordinary internet users suddenly became aware that their personal privacy was being violated and began fighting back.
  5. News organizations, including The Guardian, adopted SecureDrop, an open-source whistleblower submission system from the Freedom of the Press Foundation.
  6. British spy agencies MI5 and GCHQ had never faced a public hearing in front of Parliament until Snowden’s stories were leaked. It was the first ever open intelligence hearing.
  7. Privacy suddenly became a business model for many start-ups and governments. The United Nations started an investigation into NSA and GCHQ practices and German prosecutors announced the opening of a criminal inquiry into bulk spying on Germany’s citizens, as well as the tapping of Chancellor Angela Merkel’s cell phone.

And the list goes on…

In the wake of the Snowden film, several human rights organizations are now demanding that President Obama pardon Snowden. The controversy is over the U.S. government wanting to try Snowden as a spy under the Espionage Act of 1917 instead of under the Whistleblower Protection Act of 1989, which protects federal whistleblowers who report agency misconduct. If tried as spy, the deck would certainly be stacked against him.

The Washington Post editorial was widely criticized by other journalists after declaring Snowden should not be pardoned. This is especially ironic since the Post won a Pulitzer Prize on the reporting of the Snowden leaks. The House Intelligence Committee also urged no pardon be given, even though they admit Snowden’s leaks brought about positive reform. So is he a traitor or a patriot hero?

The Guardian newspaper fought back claiming there is no known evidence that Snowden provided any NSA documents to a “foreign adversary”. He left it to The Guardian’s security experts to choose what to publish or not.

“I didn’t want to change society. I wanted to give society a chance to determine if it should change itself.” — Edward Snowden

Snowden will always go down in history as a catalyst for global change. We all needed to be awakened to government acts against its own citizens. Truth and transparency is the ultimate goal for any nation. It’s the true litmus test for evolutionary growth or a nation’s path towards self-destruction.

” A system that is built on lies and fabrications cannot triumph forever.” – Friedrich Hegel

Personally, I say: “Thank you Edward Snowden for helping raise our consciousness to the Truth.”

Electile Dysfunction in the Age of Conspiracy Theory

/by

As we get closer to November 8th election day, the daily news feeds read more like a cliff-hangar of “who done what”. Congress is investigating Hillary’s email server, WikiLeaks is getting ready to release more damning emails, and the most recent Democratic National Committee email leaks show a corrupt pay-to-play government at work where every office and/or ambassadorship has a pricetag. It’s become a roller coaster ride—a cocaine high for news and political junkies alike. Never before has the news been so sad or as entertaining, depending on who you ask. It’s completely polarized entire families as they try to tell each other who lies, who is more corrupt, who will ruin the nation and, ultimately, who they had better vote for if they’re smart. We are a nation with a chronic case of Electile Dysfunction.

clinton-collapse-696x385For over a year now, the mainstream media has accused the alternative media of promoting outlandish conspiracy theories regarding Hillary’s health. The September 11th video, showing an ill Hillary being propped up and helped into her van, after losing balance and stumbling, finally made the health issue real for the mainstream media. They could no longer be in complete denial. The video is visual proof that something is seriously wrong. Even veteran NBC news correspondent, Tom Brokaw, called for a release of full neurological records on NBC’s Meet the Press. It’s not an unrealistic request for anyone running for the highest office in the land. And due to a public-perceived high dishonesty factor, many are not buying the official story that Hillary is suffering only from dehydration and pneumonia. Is a little truth too much to ask from either of these candidates?

Now in a weird twist of karmic fate, the mainstream media is under those same accusations of being conspiracy theorists after embracing and running with the story that forensic pathologist, Dr. Bennet Omalu, believes Hillary is being poisoned by Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump. I kid you not.

Dr. Omalu, portrayed by actor Will Smith in the movie “Concussion,” rose to prominence after discovering chronic traumatic encephalopathy in the brains of deceased NFL players. On his Twitter account, he called for a complete toxicology analysis to be done on Hillary’s blood.

Most would laugh this off but The Washington Post actually ran with the story, citing Omalu’s “credentials and tenacity are well-known” —as if this alone gives his theory truth and validity. The Post’s reporter lends credence to Omalu’s theory based on an unsubstantiated British inquiry in 2006 that Putin may have been responsible for poisoning former KGB agent, Alexander Litvinenko. Other media outlets were quick to spread the Washington Post story, as shown from a Google search on the subject.

Lately Mr. Putin has been accused of a myriad of transgressions. They blame him for all the DNC hacks, even though U.S. security intelligence experts say the leaks were most likely a DNC “inside job.” Now he is allegedly colluding with Donald Trump to kill Hillary. Has the media gone mad or is this just another form of denial? It doesn’t matter what side you fall on, Hillary does appear to have some long-term health issues that are certainly questionable.

While Omalu may be mistaken in his Putin/Trump poisoning theories, his calling for a complete toxicology analysis is probably not such a bad idea. I’m sure Hillary’s doctor runs routine lab tests for therapeutic drug monitoring (with results usually available within  24-48 hours), but has she had a full toxicology analysis which could show hidden factors? These results can take weeks or months to get complete results. Hillary could be suffering toxicity from her prescribed cocktail mix of medications. According to Hillary’s medical records, she has been on blood thinners for blood clots since 1998, first Lovenox then Coumadin. Coumadin has a bad rep for serious side effects and many physicians no longer prescribe it, opting for newer and safer anticoagulants.

From updated medical records released by Hillary’s doctor on September 14, she is also “temporarily” taking the antibiotic Levaquin (the Levaquin damages lawsuits are rampant). Fact sheets on Levaquin tell you to avoid sunlight and being out in the heat (Hillary should have skipped the 9/11 ceremony). Since antibiotics can have “life threatening” interactions with blood thinners, such as Coumadin, one has to wonder if advice is being given or just not heeded.

There are also some contraindications for Coumadin being jointly prescribed with Armour Thyroid, which Hillary also takes for hypothyroidism. Is it any wonder television physician Dr. Drew Pinsky questioned her doctor’s competence for prescribing these meds? The wrong medication combination and dosage can bring on side effects such as seizures, fainting, muscle weakness, nerve damage, suppressed immunology (pneumonia), dehydration bouts, frequent urination, and even diabetes. Some of these symptoms have already been reported in the press.

One has to ask if HIllary’ symptoms are side effects from a cocktail mix of medications or is the root cause something more serious? To put rumors to rest, Hillary should have the blood test for Parkinson’s Disease and release x-ray pictures of her CT Scan. Better yet, have an MRI done to give a clearer picture. It should be mandatory that every presidential candidate undergo a complete physical by an independent medical facility. This would prevent false rumors and conspiracy theories.

So Mrs. Clinton, if your listening, please have a thorough toxicology analysis done on your blood, release those other tests to show the American public what is or isn’t wrong, and please get better. Maybe then all those conspiracy theorists can finally stop blaming the Russians for everything.

Life is All About How You Handle “Plan B”

/by

“The measure of intelligence is the ability to change.”
― Albert Einstein

Being flexible and able to quickly shift gears to a “Plan B” mode is not only a key to success, but also an indicator of how physically and emotionally healthy you are.

My father, a Horatio Alger type success story, who didn’t graduate from high school, often told me to never give up when things don’t work out as planned. There are always other options available. Wise advice and so true. Sometimes Plan B can be just as good, if not better, than Plan A.

Over the years, I have watched friends and/or clients fall apart when plans go awry—sometimes over very minor things. They may get so stuck and paralyzed in what happened or could have been, that they oftentimes are unable to move forward. Eventually we all experience the loss of money, careers, possessions, and/or relationships. Nothing is finite. Staying malleable is key.

I recalled this sage advice a few weeks ago when I was passing through the Roma Termini train station in Italy and all my money, credit cards, and driver’s license were stolen, leaving me penniless.

Let me back up and explain. I wanted to take a scenic train ride through the countryside of Italy, so instead of making a flight connectionroma-termini-railway-station between Rome and Pisa, I opted for a 3+ hour train ride through the rolling hills of Tuscany.

I should have been immediately clued in to potential danger when a seemingly nice man, under the pretense of giving travelers directions, tried to grab my suitcase and help show me the way to the terminal’s ladies room. I had to practically arm wrestle my luggage back from him, which I did.

This was almost immediately followed by another encounter as I waited on the train platform watching for my track number to be displayed. A young woman, sporting a tummy bump, came up to me, her hands folded in prayer beseeching Santa Lucia and Santa Maria, begging me for a few coins for medical care for her unborn child.

I knew she was conning me. In fact, I was pretty sure that tummy bump was either a pasta belly or foam padding, but I had to give it to her for really working her act. I pulled out my wallet and gave her one Euro, for performance factor alone. She continued thanking me just as my train track was called and I had to make a quick dash.

I barely managed a seat on the packed train and as it pulled out of the station, I opened my purse looking for that package of M&M peanuts I had purchased for the long ride. Not only were my M&Ms gone, but so was my wallet. My passport, in a separate zippered pocket, was thankfully still there.

Pickpocket-SignsFrom a remote viewing perspective, I flashed on the beggar woman thanking me for the Euro I had given her, while another woman was reaching into my purse from behind, seconds after putting my wallet away. Despite the fact that my purse strap was placed across my chest, the opening firmly closed, they had still managed to rob me undetected—even steal my candy.

Unfortunately, no one had warned me about the Romanian gypsies who work in teams throughout the Roma train station. The place is a virtual den of thieves, but I hadn’t seen any of the warning signs they allegedly post in the terminal. Welcome to Italy!

And so, on my first day in Italy, I was alone without money (they took about $1100 in cash) as well as my credit cards. There was no going back, only forward. My mind immediately shifted to Plan B mode. From the train, I started calling my credit companies to cancel my cards. I knew it would be too risky to have replacement cards sent overnight to where I was going. Neither could I have my assistant, back home, Western Union me sufficient travel funds. The situation looked bleak.

It then occurred to me that there was someone in Italy who owed me money and they had planned on giving me a bank check upon meeting up. Instead of holding on to the check for deposit later in the U.S., I hoped I could find a way to cash it for Euros. This option seemed the most viable and it in fact worked after some Italian bank maneuvering. As a result, I had a great vacation on those funds.

While I was able to pull off a successful Plan B solution, sometimes it’s not always that easy. I know I will never retrieve the lost money the gypsies stole from me. It was a rather expensive lesson in how easily one can be duped, yet I still manage to laugh at it. Out of something bad can always come something good. I did manage to meet a rather handsome Carabinieri police commander who helped me make a loss report for U.S. tax and insurance purposes. My meeting him and his second in command, then proved to be a useful connection for my Italy friend. This became a true example of how we are all interconnected.

There are those who believe you should never have a Plan B. That you should always stay focused on your Plan A goal and never give up. But let’s face it, life doesn’t always go as we plan it. Sometimes our higher self has other lessons in store for us that we never see coming.

Moving to Plan B is not a coward’s fall-back plan. It serves a purpose, a purpose that a strategist has envisioned and planned before the need for an alternate solution surfaces. Sometimes a Plan B occurs out  of the necessity of the moment and you just have to go with the flow. It truly can be about how fast one can think on their feet and handle their new life plan.

One of my friends told me that the Dali Lama once said: “I can have great compassion for those in distress, but it doesn’t mean I have to invite them to dinner.” To me it means I don’t have to help every beggar on the street. I’ve learned that sometimes the people I have helped the most in life, come back to bite me later. This doesn’t mean turning one’s back on helping people truly in need, but it does point to a lesson of being more discerning about who we do and do not choose to help. Taking this to a global scale, being discerning as to what information is truthful and what is not is an important part of enlightenment and self-discovery—something we are all working on.

During my stay in Italy, my friends started proposing everything in terms of, “Okay. What’s our Plan B?” There were even times we had to move to a Plan C and even Plan D.  It’s important to remember that life is often an exercise in the art of flexibility.

Power Spirit Totems Which Guide Us

/by

Wild-BoarIf you have ever encountered a running deer while driving, you know what a rush of fear feels like. Now imagine a huge wild boar with tusks—an animal known to charge at vehicles. There’s no mistaking the inherent danger.

A few weeks ago, while visiting a friend’s home in Tuscany, Italy, I had such an encounter. It was late at night, we were driving up her long cypress tree-lined driveway, and a boar, as big as the width of our car, jumped out in front of us like a deer caught in the headlights. It blinked or maybe it winked. Either way, it missed us by inches before running off into the woods.

My friend, who was driving at the time, was quite excited. She had never encountered such a boar in the 40 years she had lived on the property. She explained that while one can sometimes hear boars snorting around in the bush searching out acacia roots, the big males are solitary and tend to keep well hidden. She thought the unusual experience might carry a potent message. “We must look up the symbology of the wild boar,” she insisted. “I’m sure it carries some significance for both of us.”

In Native American culture, it is believed that throughout a person’s life, nine different animals act as spirit guides; the guides accompany them at different stages, depending on what spiritual guidance they need at that time. The spiritual beliefs associated with having animal spirit guides is called “totemism.” Years ago a Cherokee medicine woman told me I carried the indian totem of the Double Eagle—the Wild Boar was never even mentioned. Naturally, I too was curious as to its meaning.

The symbology of the Wild Boar is that of truth, courage and confrontation. These creatures are powerful, vicious, fearless and hard to kill. They are the true warriors of the animal kingdom and are a worthy opponent, even in the presence of a tougher opponent. The Wild Boar is a message to be honest in all we do and bravely face the problems in life that seem dreadful or uncomfortable.

Not surprisingly, the symbology did fit with my life. The message was perfectly clear. For quite some time, I have been dealing with a rather onerous opponent. Someone who is both tenacious and Machiavellian. Idealwithdarkness have watched this person destroy other’s lives, until one day that vengeance was also turned on me. It became the penultimate battle of the Forces of Darkness trying to extinguish the work of the Light. We’ve all seen it happen.

My inner journey throughout the ordeal served to make me stronger while honoring my Truth. Despite the painful process, I always knew I was divinely protected.

To Native Americans, the Wild Boar signifies the power of protection throughout the battle, towards final resolution. This is why many indigenous cultures adopted the Wild Boar as a symbol of war, warriors and mighty courage. It meant defending one’s honor as well as defending what is right and just.

My battle with this particular Dark Force is close to resolution, but on a global scale we are all facing the same kind of spiritual battle. Never before have the forces of Light vs. Darkness, Good vs. Evil, Truth vs. Lies been more prevalent. We are being tested on the highest levels. So it is wise that we all adopt the Wild Boar as our warrior totem during these challenging times.

In Chinese astrology 2019 will be the next Year of the Wild Boar energy. The years leading up to a Boar year set the stage of obstacles to come that need to be faced with truth and integrity. It appears we have our work cut out for us.
