The Beginning!

Now that everyone is done talking about the World's end, 
Maybe we can start focusing on the beginning of a better World!?!!


Now that everyone is up to speed.

I think we should strive to send out positive energy/thoughts/light and love out to everyone we know, then visually expand that and include our States, Provinces, Countries, Continents and even the whole world.

If we did this by ourselves at least once everyday, I believe we would have an effect. But like anything natural... the effects aren't instantaneous, the manifest over a period of time. 

So don't be discouraged!

If we do this with a group of people, once everyday. 
We would have an even greater effect! It doesn't matter if you believe in Christianity, Wicca/e, Paganism or anything else. All that you need to do is what you do best for your faith or Non-Faith, Prayer, Intent, and of course VISUALIZATION!

If anything you'll feel better, albeit a bit drained.

If just half of the people on this whole planet, (I presume though I do not know for sure), would do this. I believe we would have a noticeable effect of how we treat each other, act, and express our selves.

If a group of 4000 people praying for positivity (Transcendental Meditation), for about 3 months in Washington D.C. decreased the crime rate by 21% in 1993, imagine what more than that can accomplish!?!!!

It time to stop standing on the sidelines watching, and do that something many of us always wonder why no one did.

This is a simple and easy thing we can all do, that only takes a little bit of time and it's free!

Send some love today! :D

Unity


What could have become of the Human race?

We may never know, but with how the common public of all shapes, colors, faiths, and sizes come together on a daily basis all over the planet, I see the possibilities.

Yet I can imagine an Earth that is wonderful and amazing, a place where the majority of Humans work together on some level of peace an harmony and how far we'd be culturally, spiritually, and physically.

We'd probably inhabit our Solar System by now, have enough food and places to live and very little to no poverty at all.

Money probably would still exist but it would not be the driving force behind Human endeavors. Trade, barter, and creative vision would be.

Maybe not a Utopia, but definitely a place where everyone has the ability and the chance to succeed if they want to.

But, we have a small group of families going back historically a couple thousand years, maybe even to the first Kings.

Who feel they and no one else are entitled to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

These are the people who have set-up and or cause most if not all of the troubles and strife we have today.

Humanity is not perfect, that is what makes us so great, it is our capacity for foolish actions and irresponsible decisions that shape who we are and teach us lessons as we grow.

One cannot grow if one does not error in their ways.

Yet these families spread disease among us, poison our air, water, land and food.

These families, use services to map and track our genomes so they can control us like cattle.

These families use services guised as help to create infertility or prevent reproduction.

These families control the money of the Earth to create poverty where there should be prosperity, they design and fabricate issues so that wars start and profit from them while they depopulate the planet of the cattle they despise.

They have created a system of death and destruction where mutual respect and love should be.

We are the ones that are supposedly filthy, unclean and biologically unsanitary, yet they are the ones making it so.

Yet the strength of Humanity always shows through in the bleakest of times and opposites keep coming together to defend and help each other despite the odds.

These families are losing control, the Spiritual Awareness and ever growing communication amongst Humans around the planet has caused light to be shone upon their shadowy actions.

They, the families are working and trying to implement their draconian plans quicker than they had anticipated. Many of their plans are failing in large volume, however they are still very much in control.

My vision is similar to many Humans who have either enjoyed or have strived for freedom from tyranny. To live and die free with all of our inalienable rights, but most of us forgot how to protect that simple thing that is so easy to get caught up in.

We have all become complacent, we have been duped for so long we believe the lie.

Most will read this and scoff, scoff because they think they know different, think they are absolutely right. They will want a witch-hunt and will want 'justice' done, but no matter how many times and how many people strike up their chant. It is just hollow sentiment based on corrupted ideology, designed to lessen the blow and hide the truth.

A wise man named Edmund Burke once said in the face of tyranny; “The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing!”, I am not powerful, I do not have enough money to throw a stick at. I am not a mover and a shaker.

Yet I still have a voice, A voice that speaks through written words. Some say the pen is mightier than the sword. I believe that is true.

Granted it will not defend from bullets, knives or swords, but it will instill thought in others, it will make people question the status quo, it will inspire lateral thinking and with enough pens writing the truth. Enough voices will be heard and from those voices more will rise and eventually, bearing the right circumstances, a revolution will be born.

Not necessarily one of blood or violence, but one of peace and love and a willingness to change that which no longer belongs in a society that is one.

Deception, Greed, Hate, Intolerance and the like may always forever exist in the Human Spirit. Yet so also does Truth, Sharing, Love, Acceptance and other such things.

The old guard no longer benefits Humanity as a whole, and the old guard has refused to come to terms with the burgeoning reality of Life. The oneness, the unity that Humans are starting to except within themselves and others around them is a beacon of hope to those who saw no way out, this unity is a scary thing to those who like to control.

The old guard only seeks to destroy and take, and the new emerging guard is willing to prevent them so that the awakening consciousness of Humanity can prosper.

The thing no one really has figured out yet on either side is how the New Guard will achieve the task of making a new path for Humanity without violence to lead the way out of the old.

For something to be birthed something else needs to die, in the respect that two things of macrocosmic value cannot occupy the same space at the same time. One will have to win out and the other will have to go out.

This New consciousness could very well fail, but I believe that those of us who are apart of this new consciousness, have a very good chance to bring us one step closer to a place we should be instead of a place that someone else has chosen for us.

What will you do!??

Will you make a stand in a way that represents you!?!

Or will you run and hide and hope that everything turns out alright?!?

We may make our own reality, but that doesn't mean we are supposed to stand idly by. It is by our own Minds, bodies and hands that we are able to make our perceptions and thoughts reality.

You have every right to stand on the sidelines, but if you cannot even stand up for yourself, then you are not going to be able to stand up for others.

In the Americas we were given a gift, granted one stained by blood, greed and trial and error, but a gift no one else had in recorded history. A group of people who decided that they should be able to decide their own destiny and no one else had that right. They laid a foundation for future generations to experience this amazing perspective in the World and told us how to keep it if we wanted to.

So far the words on pages and in digital still exist for everyone to read... But very few care to, or even know.

This foundation, this gift of Liberté, is the most dangerous gift of all because those who believe they are entitled to control, want nothing more than to control it, and by any means necessary.

This is our plight today. 

A constant battle against those seeking to control our very own destiny's.

No one ever said we wouldn't stumble along the way with this gift, but it needs to be guarded every generation!

It is also open to any who want it, and it should never be forced upon others. 
Living by example is a very good way to bring more people to the table.

I want a better future for not only myself and others but for all of Mankind. We are not alone in our endeavors and I think we need to grow up and start acting like a family instead of adversaries looking to one up each other.

We have been divided on purpose, and it is not for our gain.

Unity is the weapon that strikes fear in the hearts and minds of those who despise us.

United we can stand, Divided we will surely fall.

A thorn in our side; or One is a Terrorist, the other lived Twice

The reason the Defense Dept cannot find any DNA evidence, photos, videos or any other material related to Osama Bin Laden's Supposed death in 2011 by U.S. Navy Seals when Freedom of Information Requests are made by people, and even agencies like AP: http://current.com/1g5hokc

is because he died some years earlier as repo
rted by Arab newspapers and French Intelligence and other sources: http://www.globalresearch.ca/osama-died-in-2001-msnbc-hit-piece-unwittingly-reveals-corroboration-for-dr-steve-r-pieczenik-s-assertion/24753

Below A CBS News Report about Bin Laden in a Pakistani Hospital on Sept. 10th, 2001:

(If I can track down the copy I have of the Arab Newspaper, which was really hard to find 3 years ago, that reports Bin Laden's death in 2001, I will post it here.)

Here we go:
Above: al-Wafd Front Page indicating the Death of Osama Bin Laden.
Below: Funeral Article from same Newpaper.

Translation of Funeral Article in Egyptian Paper:
al-Wafd, Wednesday, December 26, 2001 Vol 15 No 4633
News of Bin Laden's Death
and Funeral 10 days ago
Islamabad -
A prominent official in the Afghan Taleban movement announced yesterday the death of Osama bin Laden, the chief of al-Qa'da organization, stating that binLaden suffered serious complications in the lungs and died a natural and quiet death. The official, who asked to remain anonymous, stated to The Observer of Pakistan that he had himself attended the funeral of bin Laden and saw his face prior to burial in Tora Bora 10 days ago. He mentioned that 30 of al-Qa'da fighters attended the burial as well as members of his family and some friends from the Taleban. In the farewell ceremony to his final rest guns were fired in the air. The official stated that it is difficult to pinpoint the burial location of bin Laden because according to the Wahhabi tradition no mark is left by the grave. He stressed that it is unlikely that the American forces would ever uncover any traces of bin Laden.



Of Course if that is unbelievable.. here is a New York Times article for all you people who believe the only news comes from "Trusted Sources" like the NY Times, CNN or Fox News.

New York Times July 11th, 2002: http://www.nytimes.com/2002/07/11/opinion/11TAHE.html?ex=1089432000&en=373a282aeff2716a&ei=5070&todaysheadlines

Fox News December 26th, 2001: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,41576,00.html

On a side note:
On May 1st, 1776 Adam Weishaupt created the Bavarian Illuminati; and it just so happened that the U.S. Government declared Bin Laden's dead on May 1st, 2012... Coincidence?

U.S. States asking for Peaceful secession

Category: Things You Didn't know

As of yesterday morning 34 of 50 states are requesting peaceful secession from the United States.

Here is a link to their White House Petitions.

http://rtr.org/pages/Tracking-Secession

Remember even though it is only Citizens asking for Secession, it is the 'People' of a State that are the actual State. Founding principles in the U.S. Constitution and State Constitutions and many other items represent this.

Granted only a handful of state have a legal right to secession via U.S. Government agreement with said states or via being written into State Constitution.

So this will be interesting to see the outcome.

Of course this could also be a ploy by someone or a group to get the American People to accept something we normally would not accept.

We shall see.

As of Nov 13, 2012:

Warm November Thoughts

The fastidious nature of the mental wanderings tonight finds me entertaining crimson beats of breath and light. While Warm November winds tantalize thoughts of future World ends and the sounds of percussive force creates life within the depths of desire.

Make Music with LiLi Roquelin!

 

My friend LiLi Roquelin is releasing her new music project with the help of her fans, as seen here:

http://www.liliroquelin.com/makemusicwithme.html

This is a campaign she launched to help her with production costs of her 3rd Solo Release and with its success, she is looking for support for her newest album
.

{Look at information and a video regarding this campaign start; http://www.liliroquelin.com/archives/675}



I as someone who had spent 8 years give or take a few months in Club and Event Music Production, as well as my time DJ'ing and now the past 3 years personally producing music on my own.

I recognize the expenses incurred not only vary greatly, but they also break the bank many times before releases are due.

This is especially true for Independent Artists, such as LiLi and such as myself.

LiLi Roquelin, unlike me has a well-to-do International following, tours, has Live Video sessions with fans, and supports her website all on her own earnings from her musical work.

But like me and other Independent musicians, we all don't have the nice cozy contract with Major Labels to give us the monetary help we need. But we do have our artistic freedom!

So consider lending a helping hand to LiLi Roquelin for her upcoming New Album.

By donating on any of the specified tier dollar amounts, you will receive one of many gifts offered by LiLi;

-like, pre-release Album download access,
-Signed Photos,
-Original Lyric Sheet Drafts,
-even her first guitar!
-And More!!!

I donated to her worthy cause, mainly because I enjoy her music, am enchanted by her voice, and indelibly due to her laudable character. I also respect her passion for music and all that entails.
Yet, you may have other reasons and maybe just want to own a piece of history, or it'll be a present to a friend, or even just a part of your charitable character.

In either case, you may want to give her a listen regardless. I am sure you won't be disappointed.

You of course can watch her music on her website @ http://www.liliroquelin.com/videos but I tend to sneak over to her YouTube and file through her discography there @ http://www.youtube.com/liliroquelin.


If you still haven't made up your mind, just have a chat with her on any of her Social Media accounts. She is very personable and well worth your time spent.

It's too bad more artists don't take a page out of LiLi's book on character, friendliness, and fan interaction.

I don't often plug about others on my Blog, but when I do it's fantastic!

Places to find, listen to and contact LiLi Roquelin:

 You can download her previous music at

LiLi Roquelin is a French/American Musician, "She has been doing music actively since Middle School: from recording lead and backup vocals in solo or in duet for side projects or albums, to programming, and performing live with numerous bands... Growing up on la Côte d’azur with a multi-instrumentalist father, she learned music as it was all around her." She is a Vocalist, plays Piano and Guitar.

Christopher Columbus

The one thing that seems to irritate me the most is ignorance, matters not if it is self-imposed, learned or forced.

It is the defining reason for many of the issues our world faces.

Humans have the capacity to understand more than the information given them.

Children have been shown, (although with moments of brutality), a level of automatic compassion towards people, animals and events that many Adults do not. Even in light of previous acts of assualt, death, and or destruction.

If everyone on this planet could feel the same pain for strangers as we do for dear loved ones when they die or are hurt. We would be less likely to hurt others, no matter their transgressions.

I have learned in my life so far that no matter how much reason you have to hate someone, those feelings, those emotions effect you yourself also. There is an actually phisical reaction at the cellular level with such thoughts.

I have had a real hard time over the years trying to emulate my own philosophy, because it is natural to feel scorned by lovers, friends, strangers and even family. We have every right to feel hurt over things real or imagined because these are the things that we personally feel.

This doesn't mean one should make up an issue to get sympathy, but there are those that believe a lie or misrepresentation of truth because of circumstances involved.

What we should all be striving for is to forgive those we hate or have issue with. This does not mean we need to let them into our circles, homes, or beds. This means we just forgive them their actions, no matter how horrible and send them love, whether via prayer, positive thoughts, or physical actions of some kind.

The act of love is a measurable force as is hate as Prof. Masaru Emoto has proven through lab experiments over the years.

In light of such things, it should make us all take a second and even third or fourth look at and into ourselves to see what it is we are really putting forth to the world.

Now, even in such a world that we live in where many are learning to work at creating an environment of love for ourselves and successive generations.

Many respected persons and groups still fail to see the message clearly (for whatever reasons), and keep perpetrating hate in dogmatic fashion, some even trying to play victim cards to help bulster there ideology or cause.

The absurdity of the daily barrage of such things I'll make point on regarding Christopher Columbus.

All I've seen in the past year are assaults on Christopher (Columbo) Columbus.

Now I do not like or condone his actions against Native peoples of the Americas.

But Columbus is not the only perpetrator of mass murder, torture, deception and lies in the Americas.

We are all being made to focus on one single person and or event and are failing to see the whole picture.

This may be due to purposeful manipulation and or it may just be due to naive sentiment, but regardless if people want to continue perpetrating and extending hate into our present and future; instead of extending love and forgiveness.

Then so be it, but I will not be apart of this charade.

FL1$: Free Love 1 Dollar (Honoring Mike J. Morris)

What is FL1$ you ask?

Well back in April of 2008, my best and dear friend Mike "Motorbike" Morris, called his sister up and took her around to nursing home parking lots and other random places.

He had cashed in a $10.00 US bill into singles and placed (1) One Dollar each in ten envelopes.


Each Envelope was decorated with positive sayings and "Free Love" and pictures of happy things.


He and his sister then proceeded to place one envelope on randomly selected vehicles and leaving, though occasionally waiting to see the smiles on people faces.


He was always very proud of this moment, and did such random, yet grand things. all for the sake of making someone happy, warm, and to feel loved.

This was Mike Morris, a person who would give away everything he had if he thought it'd help someone.

Even down to the lint in his pockets... He would have stated elegantly that even the lint had value; but he was always very good at finding ways to make people smile.

Mike Morris was the only person I have known, that could take someone who was depressed, angry, or just in an all-together crappy situation, and find that one thing to make them smile and laughing.

The things Mike did, and the places and people he met; would seem like a work of Magic to some.

From traveling with native Shamans in the Amazon Rainforest, to accomplished Auto-man, Computer Technician, owned more kinds of jeeps, sports cars and Hippy Wagons than anyone I have ever met in my 33 years, (just not all at once... though he did manage to keep on average at least 3 vehicles on hand).

One of the best salesmen I knew that hated sales, yet he could charm the fur of a llama, trade you for something you were trying to sell, and was an Amazing massage Therapist in the last year.

His heart had no boundaries, he didn't see skin color or creed. In fact he got me on the journey to meet the Amma. An Indian who has a one of the largest charitable organizations in the world and has rebuilt, clothed, fed and helped more people than any other charitable organization on the planet, on a daily basis, and usually is the first one in.

This Free Love One Dollar, is not something, to promote anyones business, or to get rich off of. It is an attempt at making people happy.

One dollar may not go a long way today in most places, but it really isn't about the money. It is about giving a random person a moment that they realize that someone cares about them even if they are a stranger.

This Event which I, the Family and Friends, and many others around the world that Mike touched, is something we plan to continue on into the future, Hoping that one day everyone in the whole world will hear of this event, and hopefully even be touched by it.



I and his Fiancée went out in July and dropped a bunch of envelopes to random people in our local area. But This September 25th, 2012, (and on same day in consecutive years), will be our official Event in honor of Mike for his deep insights and to honor him every year for his birthday.

But DON'T STOP!


This 'IDEA', is not to be bound by a specific day, it is something you can do to make someone feel better, happy, loved; any day of the year.

If you have a spare $1, $5 or $10 or whatever you decide to gift away;
-do it on the way to work
-do it at work
-do it on your day off
-do it in the morning, or in the middle of the night
-do it at churches, nursing homes, restaurants...
-do it anywhere

Just remember, to be aware of your local, State/Province, Countries laws; like here in the U.S. it is federal Crime for anyone but authorized persons or businesses to put anything into mailboxes.

{!Don't do anything illegal, in your attempt to make someone happy!}

But giving has it rewards, and I hope that you all will take me and the rest of us up on this "IDEA" of [Free Love 1 Dollar].

Shell Oil Building it's own Army

What happens when people are down-trodden upon by Governments and Corporations, many revolt.

This is not to say crimes don't get committed on the Revolting side as well as on the "Occupying Side", (Corporate Controlled Nigerian Government).

However, it does deserve a deeper look; because on the surface Shell Oil is just protecting their Employees and Business Venture... Not too many will think that is bad. What Most miss is that this is setting a bad precedent. Especially when Shell Funds groups like the JTF who harm or kill civilians or Non-combatants in an attempt to retain control over their assumed assets in Nigeria.

Big Oil is making a statement to Nigerians and the World that Oil is more important than Peoples Freedoms and Rights, no less.

The Precedent seemingly being set by this is that if Shell can continue to retain the right to keep Nigerian Citizens under their thumb and Rule via the Nigerian Govt. for their own personal wealth and gain.

They and other Corporations with the wealth and intrepid resolve to build their own armies and use them at will, will.

We Americans already know what Corporations do when they have they power to wield; The consumer becomes unimportant and sales become the ultimate goal. Our products become less safe, risks are taken with the end consumers health because chemicals deemed unsafe are then used to cheapen product production and increase monetary saturation for them.

Granted Shell is mainly an Oil based company, but the precedent being set affects m ore than just Shell or Oil.

It affects all Corporations and Governments willing to let greed trump Rights and Freedom.



Do I want Shell Employees to be kidnapped or worse... No! Absolutely Not.

But nor do I want Corporations to believe they have they right to kill so they can continue to operate in anonymity .

Many Corporations, (Many American Corporations also), work deals or arrangements with smaller, destitute, or weak foreign Governments that allow them to cheaply produce a product. Which many times means producing at the cost of the environment and in turn those that live in that environment.

Using unsafe production techniques, many times using unsafe chemicals in the process that end up polluting water tables, ground, other waterways and the local airways.

Using dangerous methods is so prominent because it is usually cheaper than making things safe, and the bottom line is profit margin.

And many of these foreign Governments are willing to sacrifice their lands and people in an effort to have a source of stable revenue.

Santigold!

I have found for a while that every so often genius strikes not once but twice in a lifetime.

I also tend towards groups and artists that say it like it is and don't hold back on account of the feelings of others, the dirty Music industry, and or the Politicians who would seek to de-evolve us into some mindless mass.

Santi White of Santigold is just one of those people and she has such an eclectic range of sound that I am both honored and fascinated by it!

The best description of Santigold comes from this Article by Alexis Pauline Gumbs of BrokenBeautiful Press : http://www.popmatters.com/pm/review/santogold-santogold/
https://www.facebook.com/groups/2223468439/
http://brokenbeautiful.wordpress.com/

She states ever so succinctly:
"Santi White reborn in the eclectic sound of Santogold calls her own music “a mash up of all that stuff”. Produced by a crew including snowboarders, electronic and dub-based producers like Squeeze and Diplo and sounding like what happens when London, Jamaica, Brooklyn, Philly and an old school Hindi film soundtrack explode out of a Nintendo set, Santogold’s self-titled first album is ska resurrected, punk retooled, drum and base repossessed and pop reborn. This is the soda shack where punk and electronica meet the rhythm of a diasporic dub addiction. You almost have to write a surrealist poem to describe this music. "

I write this of Santigold: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2223468439/ & http://www.myspace.com/santigold

...because I really enjoy her music and Brunt in your face nature, but one of my favorite songs by her is [Shove it], which usually gets an array of confused remarks but as [Frictional] on June 24, 2011  commented on http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/3530822107858689363/

They state:
"When she chants "We think you're a joke. Shove your hope where it don't shine," she's making two statements at once. The first is what some prejudiced person/dirty politician/hipster-wannabe music critic might say to you, "Look at who you are, all hopeful, but you're nobody. We think you're a joke. Shove your hope where it don't shine." However, these words themselves can be reclaimed. We don't have to be held down, "We know how you work and you use guns cause you don't have any other strength. We gain soul from where we come from and who we are. We think you're a joke. Shove your hope where it don't shine."
"

I agree with this interpretation because that is what I feel from her lyrics as well.

So if you are looking for something that will speak to your roots but also will challenge you, just listen to some Santigold!

Colorado Batman Shooting


Such a horrible thing to happen, a tragedy that may have been diverted or lessened if their had been concealed carry persons in that audience.

My sincerest condolences go out the family's of the victims and I am praying in my own way for the injured and all family's affected.

Yet, this issue is much larger than just a gun issue, or the fact that a early twenties neuro-science student premeditated the whole scenario.

It also is just too much a coincidence, hinging on the U.N.'s newest attempt on a Worldwide gun ban.

Wake up, this is not conspiracy.

The bread crumbs are pretty big and obvious this time around.

Coincidence?

I think not.

They took my right to travel freely, I said nothing...
They took my right to say what I think, I said nothing...
They took my right to be secure in my person and property, I said nothing...
They took my right to a trial by my peers, and I said nothing...
They took my right to have my accusers facts checked and in Public argument, and I said nothing...

Now my right to religious freedom is eroding away
Now my right to defend myself is eroding away
Now my right as an American Citizen is on the whim of a supposed elected official.

And If I speak up now, I may be assassinated or worse, disappear forever to a prison in another country were none of my former rights hold any value whatsoever.

This is the America we live in today, and many people still do not know or understand or ignore it all for their television programs, sports, games and material possessions.

We need to wake up now, or be silent when the final ax comes down.


And it may already be too late.

LGBT & Heterosexual Unions and Marriage

I have wrote about this many times over the years; but each time, I found I couldn't quite clearly express and show what I felt needed to be shown.
After many talks with some LGBT friends and Heterosexual friends, Religious friends and Atheistic friends, I found a debate on the topic (June 11th, 2012), It then came to me what I should write down and leave for you my Public to mull and chew over.


Here goes everything:

One thing many people and politician's get wrong is  "Marriage is a function of a Church" and  a Church is a Private organization and a religion of which are separated from State acts of power that violate any separation of Church and State, (In the United States at least).

"Civil Unions" & "Common Law Marriage" are functions of the State, and not under the facility of any Churches.

So Church's (as private organization's), no matter the denomination have the right to refuse any marriages irregardless of sex, denomination, sexual preference, or color (except in the United States were discrimination of sex or color is illegal even for Private Organizations).

The State as a representation of the "People's" choice and a "Public Organization", must within the boundaries of 'Common Sense' laws, allow Civil Unions as the People so choose per state and not by any Federal Government decree, mandate, or law which is and would be a violation of State Rights.

If a Church decides they want to marry people in other patterns other than just Man & Women, that is also their right as a Private organization. (In fact some do Like the Anglican Church of Canada, The Lutheran Church of Sweden, the Church of Denmark, the Mennonite Church in the Netherlands, the Affirming Pentecostal Church International and the Global Alliance of Affirming Apostolic Pentecostals, the Unitarian Universalists, and the Swedenborgian Church of North America, as well as British and Canadian Quakers.)

If a State decides to ban or approve Civil Unions and or Common Law Marriages of the non-traditional type, it is up to the People of those states to persuade the representatives they elected to back such legislature into law.

I grew up in the Christian church, and Many of my very good friends are LGBT as many are Heterosexual, I don't see a difference in who a person should love if their choice is to love whomever it is they want.

I support States backing LGBT being included in the Civil Unions and Common Law Marriages, and I also support Churches to consider the option. But one can not force a Private organization to act on a function which violates their private function or Constitutional right to separation from State matters; Likewise, nor can the State a Public Organization force the Church or any Private organization to provide functions that are only allowed under the umbrella of the State.

Yes, we should push for more people to be accepting and elect politicians to support such legislation as allows LGBT and Heterosexual persons to be brought together in Union under the State.

Yes, we should also conduct love and compassion campaigns to show private organization's such as Church's that LGBT is not a dirty word or evil , that they are like anyone else who lives, breathes and loves.

To have a State or Federal Government force a private organization to do something that goes against U.S. Constitutional law sets a dangerous precedent, especially in a time when every American Citizen's rights are already being worn away.

I am amazed by the lack of education some offer up in light of this topic, when it is really quite simple.

We need to use our Public voice and voting power to get the change we want from our States for Civil Unions and Common Law Marriages, and respect private organizations opinions while trying to educate them.

But for me, I would not want to be married in a Church that has only negative and archaic attitudes toward me or my fellow Man and Woman.

I will however if my desire is to have a [Church Marriage], find a church that is loving and accepting.

Quadrupolar flip in our Sun May 2012

Sun going Quadrupolar in May 2012!

This is at least what Japanese scientists have confirmed and released to the public as of this 3rd week in April.

Yomiuri Online Shimbun confers this information (1), stating:
Magnetic field polarity at the solar poles will reverse and become quadrupolar in May, meaning positive fields will emerge in the North and South poles and negative fields will emerge on the equator, according to the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan and other institutes.
When a similar phenomenon occurred about 300 years ago, the Earth's average temperature fell slightly.
A research team led by Saku Tsuneta, a professor at the observatory, analyzed solar magnetic fields data using Hinode, an observational satellite, and confirmed that the polarity of the magnetic field at the North Pole began to reverse in July last year.
The researchers also found the magnetic field at the South Pole, which was expected to reverse along with the North Pole, maintained a positive polarity, ensuring the formation of a quadrupole magnetic field.
The cause behind the shifts in polar fields is not understood. However, it is known that the shifts coincide with the increase and decrease in the number of sunspots over an about 11-year cycle.
The current sunspot cycle has stretched for close to 13 years. A similar situation occurred in the 17th to 18th century, when the average temperature of the Northern Hemisphere decreased by 0.6 C. The research team believes the quadrupolar pattern also emerged at that time.
(Apr. 21, 2012)
Professor Saku Tsuneta of the Japanese Astronomical Society analyzed data from the Hinode Solar Observatory (2) that was launched in 2006 and supported by NASA, ESA, JAXA and 11 other contributing institutions.

NASA released a paper in 2001 detailing a theory, which in part was being worked on by Prof. Tsuneta, that the Sun usually a magnetic Dipole configuration, may go toward a Quadrupole in 2012 (3). We come to find that Prof. Tsuneta had been working on this as early as the Early 1990's (4).

[Sun in Shifted to a N-Equator, Equator-S 4-Pole configuration, (two positive poles and two Negative poles)] Courtesy: (http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/)

Much of this work being based on Eugene N. Parker's 1955 work on Hydromagnetic Dynamo Models (5). roughly translated, the paper theorizes that Magnetic poles will shift do to the migratory nature of the Dynamo waves inherent in the Sun (6).

 What all this may mean is once the shift completes, we may experience another mini-iceage like in the early 17th and 18th Centuries as found not only by temperature records but by Soil and Ice-core analysis, and even tree rings and Historical references (7).

Between 950-1250 A.D. (C.E.), we have what Science calls the Medieval Warm (Epoch) Period or the 'Little optimum', which although was different from area to area, was considerably warmer than our current warming Earth (7).
*More reasons to chalk 'Global Warming' up to Corporate machinations and Greedy entrepreneurs.*

By the 1300's though Warm Summers could not be depended on in most parts of the world specifically using historical data from Europe, Iceland, Greenland and North America (7).


This little Ice age is called the 'Maunder Minimum' and only 50 Sun Spots were recorded as being seen during this 30 year period (8).

Indicating a Hibernating Sun (9), which was also detailed in this article by Rebecca Sato (10).

The Earth has shown it has not significantly warmed in the past 15 years and we may actually be going into a 'Grand Minimum' (11).





Time will only tell, yet the science coming out of Japan at the moment looks to be pretty solid. So prepare for colder summers and even colder winters in our near future!

Iran: You are not my enemy!

We see it everyday, every year, every generation... Someone, somewhere, generally in power, but not always.

Publicly making displays of a commitment of hate-disgust-threats toward a person, people or Countries.

Sometimes it is fueled by Fear, sometimes Special Interests, other times; Money and Greed. Whatever the reason may be, a Single person or a single subset of people do not always speak for a whole population.

However, such deeds and actions still reflect badly upon the Population itself because these Persons, People, Leaders what have you, are seen as or are representatives of the whole.

As an American Citizen, I have seen what Special Interests, Money and Greed have done to not only our Country but those our Government and leaders have deemed Criminal or Terrorists.

And for the Majority of Americans, myself included; those who represent us no longer have our best interests at heart nor do they speak for the whole anymore.

And as American Citizens, we are a multi-cultural Melting pot of personalities, Faiths, Colors, and Politics.

What we hold most dear, (though it does not seem apparent when we are viewed via our Leaders), is the freedom of others and as such the non-interference into people, places, and Countries, as long as we are not threatened ourselves.

The years long deliberate interference into cultures and places not our own.. not for the sake of any real threat, but for the sake of power and money. Has caused the United States of America, its Allies and well the rest of the World to be in the position it is currently in.

We can roll through the list of conspiracies, but the obvious nature of things is becoming clearer each and every day now. Our leaders, whether in America or some other G-8 nation or any other as it may be... do not have the best interests of anyone involved except that of the ones in power.

Simply.. war makes money for the war makers, and it is one of many paths toward systematic depopulation of the planet.

As a whole we Americans do not support these policies, nor do we agree with them, (Whether we are Non-partisan, Right or Left). We want like most everyone else on the planet wants, The freedom to live our lives peaceably and do the things that are prevalent in our cultures like faith, business, Collegiate studies and anything else that makes us happy that does not infringe upon the rights of someone else.

Iran has never been a real threat to the United States of America, never has been. Iran has also signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation's treaty, So why can't they have nuclear power to help grow their Country and benefit their people.

This is not to say that threats being stated by Iran toward us or our allies shouldn't be taken seriously... However in the grand scheme of things the U.S. has been the usurper in most all cases including in recent years.

The Iranian people are not a threat, in fact they are really no different from you or I. I have seen and read and watched videos from Iranian peoples, and they do not want war with the U.S. either.

It is just our Governments playing chess with all our lives for the sake of their personal gain.

We Americans are doing what we can, to prevent any outcome that could  or would lead to war. We are trying very hard to change our leadership so that issues like Iraq and Afghanistan, Viet-Nam and other places no longer occur or have to see their innocent people killed because some select rich and powerful people decided it would profit their pocket-book.

I want the Iranian peoples to know and understand that I do not see you as a threat, a enemy, nor do I hate you, or dislike you or your culture.

I may disagree with your state religion, but that does not mean I would ever want to prevent you from practicing it either.

I am an American Citizen, and I do not mean you the Iranians any harm, in fact I'd rather be your friend and have good maybe even great future relations with you and your great country.

Know that there are thousands if not hundreds of thousands here in America just like me, striving for this same goal.

It benefits no common man to war with his neighbor under any pretense other than actual defense.

We are a World community now, and we need to start acting like one. Would I fire bomb my neighbors house? No I would call the police if I were having a problem, on the world stage this would be a World court or some kind of mediation, but threats against Iran and other places and people, only serves to cause fear and fear of a thing only serves those who are controlling such fear.

Let us be friends and work toward a common goal of sequestering our leaders from this harmful path, in hopes of a brighter future for both our great nations.

R. William Holzkopf Jr.



Please help us spread the message. (http://www.trueactivist.com/gab_gallery/we-love-you/)
"To the Iranian people
To all the fathers, mothers, children, brothers and sisters

For there to be a war between us, first we must be afraid of each other, we must hate.
I’m not afraid of you, I don’t hate you.
I don t even know you. No Iranian ever did me no harm. I never even met an Iranian…Just one in Paris in a museum. Nice dude.

I see sometime here, on the TV, an Iranian. He is talking about war.
I’m sure he does not represent all the people of Iran.
If you see someone on your TV talking about bombing you …be sure he does not represent all of us.

I’m not an official representative of my country. but I know the streets of my town, I talk with my neighbors, my family's, my friends and in the name of all these people …we love you.
We mean you no harm.
On the contrary, we want to meet, have some coffee and talk about sports.

To all those who feel the same, share this message and help it reach the Iranian people
—–

My name is Ronny, I’m 41 years old. I’m a father, a teacher, a Graphic Designer.
I’m an Israeli citizen and I need your help.

Lately, in the news, we’ve been hearing about a war coming while we, the people are sitting, watching like it has nothing to do with us.
On March 15th, I posted a poster on Facebook. The message was simple.
Iranians. We love you. We will never bomb your country

Within 24 hours, thousands of people shared the poster on Facebook, and I started receiving messages from Iran.
The next day, we got featured on TV and newspapers, proving that the message was traveling. Fast.

Please help us prevent this war by spreading this message.
We need your help raising money in order to buy media: billboards, major magazines, TV ads and finally Times Square screens. We want everybody to understand that there will be no war."

Bully! The Fight for your life


" The fight over Bully continues, with the National Association of Theatre Owners now making its own threats. News came out last week that the MPAA upheld its R-rating for The Weinstein Company’s Tribeca 2011 doc about school bullying and since then the Weinstein Co has considered releasing the doc unrated and even to boycott the MPAA altogether, a move could have implications for its future releases. If TWC indeed goes ahead with releasing the film unrated, NATO said today in a letter to Weinstein boss Harvey Weinstein that it will urge members to consider the Lee Hirsch-directed film an NC-17 movie." -Philip DeFranco [PhillyD.tv]

Bullying is a serious matter and this film was made so that Middle & High Schoolers could see how it effects the Bullied and how it hurts everyone else.

I believe that this is an important documentary that attacks the issue head on in hopes to educated kids and people alike on the serious issue of Bullying.

Please take your time and Sign this petition to keep the Documetary Film 'Bully' PG-13; Sign Petition!

Such Harbor

I don't often post my own poetry here, but all these years of degradation of our government and social systems, with the current apathetic nature of Americans as a whole and many around the world, sometimes someone needs to speak up and re-light the path.

We live in these such times of peace and prosperity.
While the World lies burning at our feet.
Pity our Souls for that which we do not know.
This heaviest of burdens that we do keep.

With our beacon of fire set high upon the sky.
To light hope for all those trodden and weary.
We yet blind our eyes to our sins before us.
Dealing death upon our breaths in such harbor so dreary.

Our waves of grain are stained in such precious blood.
Both set forth by leaders tongue in honor and deceit.
Fighting others civil unrest when our Liberties are steadily sinking.
And our halls of justice weep with wide eye replete.

Treacherous waters in these times we now do sail.
Having lost our hold on our vigilante cause.
We guardians of sacred Liberty have heeded the Pipers call.
Deaf to our Founders living will and chained by modern laws.

There are no Statesmen anymore and the Patriots are all singing Dandy.
Common sense is lost to all and many are just sleeping.
We sit in our homes cozy and warm, lost in purchased fantasy.
While outside at our feet the World is slowly burning.

Witch Hunting Kids!?

We need to put a stop to People who run organizations like the LFGM, (Liberty Foundation Gospel Ministries), [Fake or Un-Christian Like Organizations]; who promote torture and inhumane treatment of Children based on deceptive, dishonest, distorted, erroneous, and fallacious claims and or claims based on Hate rhetoric. 


More specifically and in this case, Witch Hunting little kids.

India Censoring Media Giants


"The officials say it is not a question of censorship, but of the necessity to operate within the laws of the country. "

Any action that blocks or removes something, is 'Censorship'! I understand Google, Facebook and other's desire to have and keep their user base, but bowing to the whims of any Country in the aspect of censoring content of any kind, goes against the right of Freedom that entails what the Internet is today.

Personally I'd tell India to go F-off a,d watch as their population rises up because they cannot have their Facebook, Youtube or whatever.

Do not under-estimate the power of material power over people.

To Be Sovereign now is Criminal according to FBI

Apparently the FBI failed their Constitution test. 


Mixing and watering down their definitions to create panic and fear, especially among those who lack education on what Sovereign means and how completely unrelated it is to act of criminal intent.


A Sovereign Citizen is any Citizen that lives in a Sovereign Nation, (ie, the United States of America), so by implying this rational, and associating Sovereignity and criminal acts; they now propose that any who disent, speak out, follow the Constitution, and additionally all those that are Citizens of the United States, are in fact all "Extremists" 


It really makes you wonder where these Agents grew up, and if they were in fact 'Brain-washed', because for those who are supposed to uphold the Sovereignty of this nation, they sure make every effort against it.


Update:
This in no way changes the above facts of this mini-article; but even though the information I have gathered does not mention "Sovereign Citizen Movement" directly, apparently it is implied. 


Yet in the FBI's obfuscation of the terms 'Sovereign' and 'Citizen', they make it clear that they believe that anyone who considers themselves a Sovereign Citizen is apart of this "SCM". 


Which by all accounts has no real figure head, and is a collection of different peoples and Groups that have no direct affiliations with each other except in the fact that they all stand up for the Constitutional direction of these United States and the Rights of the Peoples within, and because the FBI named them so.


[No different than me stating that all the groups of people and stores at this (fictious) Mall are all Justin Bieber fans and supporters because he is holding a (Fictious) concert in the Mall commons.]


This does not of course excuse any violent or destructive behavior, however arguments are not won by sitting idly on your thumbs either.

Antithesis of Opposite


My whole life I've been told that Magick is evil, that Witches are Devil Worshipers, that "All" Muslims are bad, glory be to Zionism, and Christ is the only way to salvation.

After much time, deliberation, research, personal enlightenment, and World Experience; I find that Magick like anything else, is no more harmful than a gun in the hands of a Police Officer or Aspirin in the hands of a criminal.

That Witches, true Witches and those of Witchcraft, Wish like most everyone else, to live in peace, practice their faith without obstruction or hindrance. That they are some of the most Earth friendly and helpful people I know.

That Satanism and Devil worship only began officially in the 1960's brought about by Anton LeVey, and technically by the foundation of the Catholic Church, since no such thing as the Christian Devil existed prior to Christianity. That Witches and Pagans alike do not follow Christianity or its Tenets, and so cannot be found to practice something that they do not even believe in.

That although the Judeo-Christian God is called Zion; Zionism is a product of the 1800's by an offshoot Banker group of Jews who seek not the enlightenment of the Torah or the Salvation of G-d, but seek only money and control of others.

That of the Worlds Four Major Religions, Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and Hinduism, all believe in one single mighty Creator, all believe that by following their faiths tenets they will find salvation, they all have Heavenly Messengers, Prophets, and Holy incarnations of one kind or another, and all have multiple Minor Deities/Saints or Demi-Humans who are worshiped and prayed to in one facet or another.

Lies and half-truths perpetrate through out the ages and continue to be spread, mainly out of fear or a desire to control others.

The one thing I am sure of is, that I and you all have the freedom and right to love, like, believe, eat, and do whatever we like, as long as it does no harm.

That to maintain our Right to do something, we must protect others Rights to do something that we find disagreeable.

So stand up and hold onto what you believe, keep an open mind and remember we are not always right, and good intentions are never as intended let alone just.

R. William Holzkopf Jr.
