Transcending the Political Blame Game

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?

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

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.

Electile Dysfunction in the Age of Conspiracy Theory

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.

Vote Your Consciousness vs. The Lesser of Two Evils

end-evil-step-out-of-line-vote-third-partyThe 2016 U.S. Presidential Election is not just about voting your conscience, but more importantly about “VOTING YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS.” What does this mean when the two main candidates are both controversial, equally disliked, and voters find themselves in the uncomfortable position of voting for the lesser of two evils?

Any way you look at it, voting the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil. When one consciously votes for someone they know or feel to be at odds with their core values, then energetically that person is welcoming that evil into their world. Consequently, they are agreeing to all the ramifications that invite entails. This is how the energetic world works, whether it be for good or evil. It means you can expect that evil to personally touch your life in some shape, manner or form—afterall, you agreed to it. So think long and hard about who you decide to vote for during this presidential election.

I’m not suggesting abstention from voting, but rather to Vote Your Consciousness. If your consciousness resonates with Trump’s ideals and beliefs, then you should vote for him. If you trust Hillary to put the needs of the people and this nation above all else, both corporate and political, then you should vote for her.

A vote for Hillary is a difficult one for many who still remember such past scandals as Whitewater, Troopergate, Filegate, and Bill’s Monicagate during the former Clinton administration. Scandals and investigations seem to follow the Clintons wherever they go and scandal doesn’t seem to be going away for them even today. It can’t all be due to a “vast right-wing conspiracy,” as Hillary claims. Do we really want a leader under investigation for perpetual allegations of improprieties, because you can bet there will be more coming down the pike.

A recent Associated Press (AP) poll shows half of Clinton’s own supporters consider her slightly or not at all honest, and more than a third say she’s slightly or not at all likable. Forty-seven percent of Trump’s supporters consider him slightly or not at all civil, 39 percent say he’s slightly or not at all likable and 31 percent say he’s slightly or not at all qualified. Of those backing him, 14 percent consider him at least somewhat racist.

It’s time for honesty. If you have any doubts at all about the integrity or true leadership ability of either Trump or Hillary, then heed your consciousness. On a national scale, both candidates show a 67% untrustworthy rating—the highest in election history. These are dismal ratings for candidates seeking the highest office in the land.  Is this what we really want for America?

Let us not forget that there are other choices out there besides Hillary and Trump. It’s now or never to step out of line and start exploring our third-party options. Consider voting Progressive, Green Party, or Libertarian instead. They might better reflect your true consciousness. It’s senseless political propaganda that tells you your vote only counts if you vote either Democratic or Republican.

“There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil.” – President John Adams

Support for Green Party candidate Dr. Jill Stein went up over a whopping 1000% when Bernie Sanders endorsed Clinton. Stein’s message is simple: “Forget the lesser evil, fight for the greater good.” (Sorry Bernie, but not all your supporters are sheeple ready to embrace Hillary just because you tell them to. Perhaps you, too, should consider a #Hillaryotomy like some of your supporters.)

Finally mainstream media is beginning to take note and address the matter of voter choice dissatisfaction, as evidenced in this Chicago Tribune political piece on Dr. Jill Stein and Gary Johnson. In any other election year these two would be forgotten candidates, but in this election year their numbers are increasing.

If you’re a diehard Bernie supporter and can’t see voting for anyone but Sanders for President, then you should write in his name on the ballot if this means Voting Your Consciousness. We’ve all heard the argument that voting for someone who “can’t possibly win” is throwing away your vote. Wrong. That’s just more political propaganda. No one ever thought Sanders or Trump would ever come as far as they did, so pay no heed to what others want you to believe. They don’t have all the answers either. Our collective consciousness is changing world events and beliefs minute by minute. This is anyone’s game. At least, it’s spiritually better to know you did not compromise your ideals.

Democrats are telling us that we have to vote for Hillary, even if we don’t like her, because otherwise Trump will win and it will be the end of the civilized world as we know it. Voting for someone you don’t trust, just because you are scared of the alternative means a vote based on fear. Fear is the great destroyer. Don’t let fear manipulate you and/or compromise your true beliefs. No one should ever have to base their vote on FEAR. This would be the ultimate wasted vote.

The argument that “every vote counts” no longer holds true either. We know elections areIMG_3703 rigged or stolen all the time in every country of the world. In 2012, Karl Rove, Bush’s former Deputy Chief of Staff and Senior Advisor, then working as a Republican party strategist, had an on-air meltdown on Fox News on election night when they called Ohio for Obama and not Romney. “It’s wrong,” he declared adamantly. How could he know? The story goes that he was in on the fix in the voting software, and it was discovered and corrected at the last-minute without his knowledge. (FULL STORY)

Yet, how do we know it wasn’t then skewed in Obama’s favor by those who found the rigging? We will never know. Shenanigans and dirty tricks happen on both sides. During this year’s Democratic primary season, there were many voting irregularities in several states leading to class action lawsuits. In my home State of California, Sander’s supporters filed a fraud lawsuit against the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and Deborah Schultz Wasserman for blatant voter suppression and bias towards Hillary. Legal experts are calling such practices worse than the crimes of Watergate.

I, and thousands of others Californians who were either registered as independents or independents who had recently re-registered as democrats to vote in the primary, were told when we got to our voting precinct that we had already voted by mail ballot and had to vote a provisional ballot instead. None of us had ever signed up for vote-by-mail. The DNC had automatically classified many cross-over voters in this category without consent. They knew these people would be Bernie voters. As a result, over 60,000 provisional ballots by independents in favor of Sanders were not counted in Los Angeles County alone. Many across California reported similar voter suppression tactics.

The DNC clearly stole the vote from Bernie Sanders. His supporters have every right to be good and mad. Their vote was silenced. Thousands of newly registered young voters complain they are completely disillusioned with the entire process. Unchecked dishonesty only invites more dishonesty. Unless things change, this kind of voter fraud will continue to occur.

A Stanford study showed that pre-election polls were successful at predicting Clinton’s numbers in states with paper trails, with a clear favoritism to Hillary. However, Clinton over-performed an average of 9% in the states that use electronic voting machines but who fail to provide paper evidence of this vote. Simply speaking, Clinton beat expectations ONLY in states with unaccountable voting machines.

Two of the three companies that control the electronic voting machine market, Dominion Voting and H.I.G. Capital (i.e. Hart InterCivic) are on the list of big money donors that donated to the Clinton campaign, as shown by DNC documents recently leaked to WikiLeaks by the Romanian hacker known as “Guccifer”. One would think this would be a clear conflict of interest.

Playing the blame game, the DNC and Hillary are deflecting attention away from the shocking content of these leaked emails and blaming the Russians for election interference (as if our own CIA has never done such a thing). The American people should not forget that the blame resides solely with Hillary for exercising poor judgment in the first place. She’s the one that put our nation’s security at risk by using an unsecured private server that anyone could hack, and obviously many did.

WikiLeaks warns us there are more leaked emails to come—some even worse than what we have already seen. What new bombshells can we expect? Insiders speculate that these additional email leaks may lend credence to the IRS’s launched investigation of The Clinton Foundation for foreign influence peddling, an allegation that was documented in the recent “Clinton Cash” documentary, based on investigative journalist Peter Schweizer’s book of the same title.

It’s amazing that despite whatever new evidence of impropriety or corruption comes to light, many still deny or dismiss these revelations as inconsequential or meaningless. It’s a classic case of cognitive dissonance at its worst.

Will all these new revelations affect the people’s votes come November? For some, most certainly. In the bigger picture your vote ultimately only matters to you, not to anyone else. So Vote Your Consciousness since it is highly likely both parties will be rigging and manipulating the electronic voting machines. The Karl Roves of the world will make sure that your vote does not interfere with whomever they have already decided will be the next President. You can bank on it (but not at Goldman Sachs). If you really want to see how easily voter fraud is accomplished, just watch the documentary, “Hacking Democracy.” The writing may already be on the wall that the fix is in for Hillary.

IMG_3030Just remember, that if you vote for a third-party or write in who you really think would be the best leader, your vote is not going to throw the election to the other party. Those who advocate voting for a flawed candidate strictly to win are themselves the problem. These people are usually the first to loudly complain when those same flawed candidates later make policies they don’t like.

Let’s hold in our higher consciousness the intent that we don’t want leaders who are psychopaths. We don’t want leaders who are narcissists. And we certainly don’t want more leaders who are pathological liars. We the People have been lied to enough.

“Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.” – John Quincy Adams

As someone once said: “Humanity is the candy in the coal mine of Consciousness.” So be true to yourself and your ideals. Please join me in adding a new meme to this election process called #VoteYourConsciousness
