Eye On The Aberrant
Nothing is as it seems. Everything you think you believe is probably a lie. Reality is something we are taught from the day we are born.
Singing Away The Heart Sadness
There is an old phrase that people can die of a broken heart. There appears to be more truth to that statement than one might think. The Abba Father messages have been urging people to sing to erase the accumulated sadness and past regrets from their heart chakras in preparation for turning on their cellular light and power. The Abba Father messages also include instructions as to just how to effectively sing away the dark shadows that linger in that key chakra in the body. We are to open out mouths and mentally think of singing through a hollow tube leading from the mouth directly into the heart, then sing.

Planetary Alignment Over Giza – What Did It Mean?
After Charles Marcello published the image of three bright stars perfectly aligned over the three large pyramids at Giza, Egypt on his blog, World Mysteries, the image went viral throughout the Internet.This happened in late 2012. As predicted, Mercury, Venus and Saturn appeared in perfect alignment over the pyramids in the early morning hours of December 3, 2012. It was allegedly an event that only happens once every 2,737 years. So what did astrologers and The Abba Father have to say about it?

As Wildfires Rage, Trump Plans to Slash Fire Science Funding
--By Randy Lee Loftis – Center for Investigative Reporting
--Truthout
Like all wildfires, the Ute Park Fire in New Mexico was dangerous and expensive. But no one died and crews saved every home – thanks in part to a century of hard-won firefighting knowhow. Science played a vital role in this success story by helping develop the best ways to battle wildfires. But the Trump administration wants to slash federal funding for wildfire science, at a time when forest and brush fires are getting bigger, happening year-round and becoming increasingly erratic.

Do Little People Exist?
Back when LSD was a popular recreational drug some of my acquaintances talked about strange experiences in the woods where they witnessed little people dancing and running among the trees. Because we were all told LSD was a hallucinogen, that is, it made people imagine things that were not real, I dismissed the stories as just that. I thought perhaps my friends were hallucinating while under the influence. Yet the people who told me these stories spoke of their visions as if they were quite real. For them, it was as if the drug unlocked a veil and allowed them to see things that could not be viewed under normal circumstances. Aboriginal people all over the world also speak of the little people. It is a universal story. Can there be any truth to it?

New Study: Earth May Be 2 Degrees From Catastrophe
--Jon Queally – Common Dreams
--Truthdig
Warning of a possible domino effect as multiple climate feedback loops are triggered within a dynamic cascade of rising temperatures and warming oceans, scientists behind a frightening new study say that for the sake of humanity’s future they hope scenarios explored in their new models do not come to pass. Published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the new study, while not conclusive in its findings, warns that humanity may be just 1 degree Celcius (1.8 F) away from creating a series of dynamic feedback loops that could push the world into a climate scenario not seen since the dawn of the Helocene Period, nearly 12,000 years ago.

King Paimon – Elegance Of Royalty
He is listed as the ninth Goetia Spirit, but if there is a demon displaying a power to rival that of Bael, it is probably Paimon. This guy is among the most difficult spirits to summon and it is said that when he appears, he comes in elegant garb, with a sound of music and with a contingent of accompanying spirits. Nineteenth Century magician and author S. L. MacGregor Mathers wrote that Paimon was “once of the Order of Dominations” before his alleged fall from Heaven. He noted that Paimon is so powerful he rules over 200 legions of demons.

The Titanic Conspiracy Story
Most people know about the Titanic disaster of April 14, 1912 that claimed 1,503 lives after the ship . . . that largest liner in the world in its day . . . struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic and sank. Details of this disaster have been described in graphic detail in Hollywood films, books and television documentaries. Divers have since found and explored the wreck. Many of the artifacts from the ship are on display in various world museums. What few people know, however, is that there is a strange alternative conspiracy theory about this disaster outlined by researcher Robin Gardiner in his book “Titanic: The Ship That Never Sank.” Gardner suggests in his book that the Titanic Disaster was, in reality, an attempt at a massive insurance scam that somehow went terribly bad.

The Abba Father: The Gift of Love
Sometime in late May, 2010, the Abba Father delivered instructions for accepting a gift of awakening to new ways of thinking and behaving. He said we needed this so that we would be prepared to be teachers and information sources for a looming world of intense trouble. He told us to activate our Mercaba, a spinning body of light that surrounds each living soul. When allowed to spin it works as an inter-dimensional gateway that brings higher consciousness to incarnate into the physical body. It is a device when activated, grants us a consciousness of the spiritual astral.

Our Changing Reality
A brilliant essay by researcher Winston Wu rebutting skeptical arguments against the paranormal, reflects a growing awareness among members of the scientific community that there is something more occurring with the human experience than was once thought: http://www.victorzammit.com/skeptics/winston.html Columnist and radio personality Whitley Strieber noted that Wu's work "deserves extensive study" because it "carefully moves through the entire skeptical lexicon of arguments, rebutting each in turn."

The New Human Regeneration
There was an incredible story making its rounds on the web awhile back about a Dr. Berrenda Fox, a holistic practitioner from Avalon Wellness Centre, Mt. Shasta, Calif., who claimed humans are going through DNA and cellular changes and are becoming a new life form. Fox, who said she was working on programming explaining an understanding of "extraterrestrials and their role in what is happening with mankind," claimed she had documented evidence that many children and some adults were mutating into something else. She says nobody knows what we are turning into, however. Whatever it is, they are among us.

World Wealth; A False Illusion
There is an implication via daily media reports that rising values on the world stock exchanges reflects a healthy and growing economy. The stock market numbers go up when world events suggest that the big corporations will be in a position to make more profit. When the opposite is true, the value of stock plunges. Television anchors faithfully report to us every day just what the stock markets are doing . . . as if that is news that we need to know. In truth, the only people that have an interest in the fluctuations on the stock exchanges are the wealthy individuals who invest their money in business. Most of us are struggling to earn enough money to feed our families with nothing left to think about investing in anything.
The Greatest Rebellion: Thinking For Ourselves
"Children must be taught how to think, not what to think." -- Margaret Mead, the late American cultural anthropologist.
It has been said that television has become the greatest tool for the enslavement of the people ever devised. Most American families have become so dependent on their television screens that they devote nearly every minute of their spare time staring at it and allowing the programming pouring out of it fill their brains with minutia. Giving up television programming may be harder than you think.

Growing Threat Of Human Disconnect
Not many years ago I flew from California to my home in Michigan. The trip involved an eight-hour layover in Chicago O’Hare International Airport, so I was forced to experience a lengthy exposure to a lot of people over a long day. As a retired news reporter and trained sociologist, I am naturally an outgoing person who takes a keen interest in the people around me. What struck me during this trip was that very few of the people I came in contact with were interested in personal communication with those around them. Everybody appeared preoccupied with what was then the new I-Pads, Kindle reading and game devices, portable telephones and text message devices, portable laptop computers and music and telephone devices that plug into their ears.
Are We Pawns In a Matrix After All?
The Trump call for a creation of a sixth branch of our military that will be known as the Space Corps may be part of a complex hoax that has been going on in the United States for the past 80 years. This revelation was revealed in a year 2000 report by American space weapons expert Dr. Carol Rosin that appeared in Nexus Magazine. Rosin said she was given this information during a lengthy interview with Wernher Von Braun, the father of rocket technology and space science in the United States. She said she worked with Von Braun during the final years of Von Braun’s life in the 1970’s.
Dr. Emoto
Does Water Have Consciousness?
Water, perhaps the most vital component for life, is so abundant on Earth that most humans take it for granted. Yet the very consistency of water is a mystery within itself.Comprised of two explosive gasses, hydrogen and oxygen, when combined in a simple formula of two parts oxygen and one part hydrogen, water becomes a fluid substance that has the capability of dowsing fire and maintaining life. Once the gases combine to form water, it almost takes a rocket scientist to figure out how to separate them again. Not long ago, Dr. Masaru Emoto, a Japanese scientist claimed that he believed water has a consciousness of its own and that mankind must not only understand this, but learn to show a love and respect for water if we expect to continue our existence.
The Trump/Pruitt Destruction of the EPA
The Organic Consumers Organization recently issued a disturbing newsletter pointing out the destructive impact of the Trump Administration’s decision to cut staff, funding and the power of the Environmental Protection Agency on the nation’s foods and consequently on public health. It also has withdrawn the federal Food & Drug Administration’s control for labeling of organic and non-genetically modified foods so that buyers have a healthy choice in what they eat. The letter warns that the nation’s food industry is currently getting away with serving “a fatal harvest” caused by “water and air pollution, soil erosion, fertility loss, the obliteration of pollinator populations and biodiversity in general, food contamination, aquifer depletion and climate destabilization.”

Can Polarized Americans Trust Their Own Eyes?
Our nation is caught up in what may be its worst test of endurance yet; the radical financial take-over by big corporate bosses while the professional clown in Washington keeps all eyes focused on him. Columnist Chris Hedges, in a recent commentary about the media’s role in this ongoing national blight wrote:“The press, giddy with its newfound sense of mission and purpose, is carrying out a moral crusade against Donald Trump. It is great for ratings. It is great for profits. But it is not moral, and it is not journalism.”Indeed, but with so much daily chaos . . . including the daily firings of key White House staff . . . the placement of controversial characters with shaded history in their place . . . and Trump’s radical insults on foreign allies . . . where do journalists turn for genuine news stories? The circus is so loud and colorful that attempts by professional research journalists to get “the real story” are squashed in the rush for the top story of the hour.
The Plot Against Humanity
From the Abba Father Files: There are alien entities among us who came to enslave humanity and force us to turn all of the treasures of the planet over to them. When you think about it, this is exactly how this world has been operating for as long as there has been written human history. First there were kings with all of the people in the kingdom working to serve their every whim. Then came rebellion and change. But the democratic styled governments quickly fell victim to corruption and greed. This cycle repeated itself over and over. We are now living on the downside of yet another great democratic period and find ourselves in a world where a few very wealthy people are in control. As in the past, they demand access to all of the wealth and insist that the people work in sweat shops and factories, work in dangerous mines under the Earth, or on dangerous drilling rigs seeking oil and other energy sources. The purpose of this form of enslavement has always been to enhance the great fortunes of the few.

The Insanity Of High Cost Education
The United States once held the distinction of having the best colleges and universities in the world. People came from all over to study here. That was once. It is no longer the case. This is now a nation that has been taken over by bankers and big money interests that have skillfully devalued the dollar, created an inflation that has grown faster than workers can earn money to live, and in the process, destroyed the great universities that once turned out great thinkers, educators and creative people capable of lighting the world stage. The bankers and big money interests have literally taken over the nation's colleges and universities and made a big business out of them.

The Dawkins Concept Of The Meme’s Effect On Human Affairs
In his book, The Selfish Gene, published in 1989, Zoologist Richard Dawkins introduced the concept of the "meme," to the human vocabulary. He used the word as if it were a part of the human ana tomy, a mysterious part of the nervous system that causes a mental knowledge of things outside of our awareness.Dawkins wrote that the meme "propagate themselves in the meme pool by leaping from brain to brain via a process which, in the broad sense, can be called imitation."Thus we have the 100-monkey theory . . . an explanation why monkeys in various parts of the world are capable of learning new concepts when at least 100 monkeys in any one area have learned it.
George Washington’s Angelic Vision Of America
There was a story told by Anthony Sherman, a military officer that served under General George Washington, who was present with Washington at Valley Forge during the terrible winter of 1777. It seems that Washington was visited by an angelic being that gave him visions of the new nation that was to be the result of the war Washington’s rag-tag army was fighting. In this vision, as allegedly told to Sherman directly by Washington after it happened, Washington learned his army would win the Revolutionary War and establish the Union. After that he had a vision of two more great tribulations; the Civil War and finally a great war fought on the soil of the United States.

Trump and Gorsuch
Tipping the Scales of Justice
Amidst all the destruction Mr. Trump is bringing to the framework of the United States, his judicial appointments may top the list. Despite his tardiness in filling many key government job positions since taking office, he has been extra busy filling federal judicial vacancies. An analysis by Allan Smith for Business Insider reveals that Trump has been concentrating on “shaping the federal bench” since coming to power. He has to date nominated 56 judicial appointments compared to Obama’s 22 nominations by this same time in office. The Judiciary Committee has only confirmed three, however. They include Trump’s appointment of Justice Neil Gorsuch to the U. S. Supreme Court.
A House Divided . . .
Abraham Lincoln quoted Jesus when he gave his famous "house divided" speech before the Republican State Convention in Springfield, Illinois, on June 16, 1858. He went on to win the Presidency against Democrat Stephen A. Douglas. Lincoln’s speech was controversial when he said it. Yet it was clearly prophetic because of the looming Civil War that was to literally tear the nation apart during his term in office. That war was fought over the issue of state’s rights and slavery. Today, a century and a half later, America is once again a house divided, and the rift may be even more severe than it was in 1858.

The Capitalist War Against American Workers
There is a mass movement among the working class . . . largely stirred by the severe acts of Donald Trump and his gang of thugs in Washington . . . to fight against suppression. A similar movement is going on all over the world where workers are calling for Globalization. In the United States the Capitalists are working hard to push it back. Thus we are in the midst of a battle between the "haves" and the "haves-not" and the enemy of the people is being clearly defined as Capitalism.

The Bilderberg Conspiracy Theory
The Bilderberg Group, which has been in existence since 1954, is an organization comprised of up to 150 political, industrial, university, media and financial leaders representing nations in Europe and North America. Because its annual meetings are held behind closed doors, without media coverage, the Bilderberg Group has been the subject of numerous conspiracy theories. Some believe it is, in effect, an organization of people who control world events.

Dealing With The Horrors Of A Dying Planet
Humans are animals, and in the animal kingdom, all creatures except perhaps the ostrich always respond dramatically to threats of danger. What is there in the human thought process that causes us to ignore or declare disbelief in threats so terrible they obviously threaten our lives, our life style and perhaps the extinction of us all? Notice how the debate over global warming, alias climate change, still goes on even as the world now suffers horrific storms, drought, summer heat and winter blizzards that not only compare to the worst weather events in history, but break all records. We debate the reality of this problem even as the mountain glaciers and polar ice caps melt and ocean water levels now threaten our coastal cities.
Cut The Deficit – Stop The Big Business Of Running America’s Prisons
Largely because of the nation’s failed drug war and national “get tough on crime” policies initiated into state and federal law in the 1980s, there are more Americans currently under incarceration per capita in the U. S. than in any other nation in the world. Long prison sentences for nonviolent drug offenders are shown to be the single greatest multiplying factor behind the problem of prison overcrowding.

Cut The Deficit – Start With The Military
Before he left office, President Dwight D. Eisenhower, a five-star general who served as Supreme Commander of the Allied forces in Europe during World War II, left Americans with a warning that the military industrial complex constructed for this war had a “potential for a disastrous rise of misplaced power.” It seems we were not listening. The United States has since established and maintained a massive global military presence that rivals anything ever dreamed of by the old Roman Empire. And we flex our military muscle in every corner of the world and at taxpayer expense.

Can Fukushima Radiation Be Stopped?
The earthquake and tsunami that destroyed three of five nuclear power plants at Fukushima, Japan, in 2011 has strayed from the news recently, but the disaster is still there and getting worse by the day, Japanese officials say. Scientists at the Daiichi nuclear plant this week declared a state of emergency after information gained from a robot revealed that one of the reactors has apparently burned its way through the bottom of the containment core and may be falling into the rock formations and possibly the ocean waters under the plant. The disaster is somewhat comparable to a runaway atomic bomb that no human manufactured device is capable of bringing under control.

The Assault On Our Brains
The talk about getting psychiatric help for "disturbed" people like pedophiles, compulsive drug users and those choosing to shoot large numbers of people in public places may be pushing the American mindset into dangerous territory. If the field of psychology ever had any merit, it has been buried under contemporary drives by big business and certain branches of our government to control the minds of the masses and make a lot of money doing it.

Racing Toward Irreversible Destruction
Noted scientists have been warning us for years now that our consumption of carbon fuels is destroying our planet, our atmosphere and our water and leading all living creatures into an agonizing extinction. We have had time to fix our situation. We have found the resources to turn away the danger but big oil, big coal and big gas companies have been fighting efforts to utilize them every step of the way. Now the researchers are saying . . . the time to escape inevitable doom is running out.

Why We Aren't Using Safe Thorium Nuclear Energy
Back when nuclear researchers were learning how to capture and utilize the newly discovered source of energy developed for the first atomic bombs after World War II, there was a much (but unpublished) consternation among scientists over the use of thorium instead of plutonium for use in early energy breeder reactors. They recognized even then that there was extreme danger in working with uranium, the by-product of plutonium used in the manufacture of nuclear energy. While Thorium was recognized as a safer kind of energy source, it was rejected because they couldn't make bombs with the by-product.

America’s Radiated Drinking Water
It is bad enough that the people are fighting the big oil and gas companies to stop the fracking and construction of leaky pipelines to transport the toxic materials pumping from the earth. The media appears to have forgotten the story but the Fukushima nuclear plant meltdown continues to spread deadly radiation around the Northern Hemisphere of the world. It is not only in the air we breathe, but now it is found in the ground and in the water we drink.

Is The Vatican Fulfilling An “End Times” Prophecy?
One of the things that I have found interesting about the Christian Bible is the accuracy of some of the prophetic messages. Many, like the predicted rebirth of the “Dry Bones” that became the modern State of Israel have been fulfilled. There is one prophetic and troubling message found in the Book of the Revelation, Chapter 17, verses 10 and 11, that has left me confused and scratching my head . . . that is until quite recently. The verse reads: “And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.” We have found a scary interpretation.
The Fresco Solution For Saving The World
Those who have heard his lectures or read about him know that the late Jacque Fresco was among the great thinkers of the modern world. He recently died at the age of 101. During his life Fresco experienced two world wars, the Great Depression, and the shift from a family/farm-oriented society to the industrial/electronic/capitalistic wilderness we struggle with today. A self-taught industrial and architectural designer, social and structural engineer, Fresco invented numerous devices for industrial and medical use, and he designed a futuristic plan to meet the world’s social needs in what he called The Venus Project. That project is still alive and worth considering as a solution to our problems of overpopulation, climate change and an alternative to the failing world systems of government.

The Musk Plan To Fix The World
Fifty-seven-year-old Elon Musk is a man with an amazing mission. He says his goals are to change the world and humanity, reduce global warming and consequently reduce the risk of human extinction. And if the stogy controls of government and corporate powers don’t block him, he just might succeed.

Meet the Looming Economic Standard: Cryptocurrency
Back in 2009 when the nation was still reeling under the latest economic collapse of the banking system and the burst housing “bubble;” when people were losing their homes and their jobs, a couple of computer nerds were busy inventing a new system of paying for things without using banks or dollars. Thus emerged the strange new name: bitcoin.

Why The Destruction of our Forests Matters
The University of Queensland, Australia, recently conducted an international study that found that one-tenth of the wilderness on Earth has been destroyed in the last 20 years. A ten percent loss in trees and other green vegetation may not seem to be much, but a continued slashing of trees, coupled with attacks by infestation and disease brought on by global warming, is intensifying the looming crisis we are referring to as “climate change.” Humanity and trees have maintained an incredible symbiotic relationship for hundreds of thousands of years. The destruction of our forests is threatening this planet’s ability to sustain the delicate balance of nature that makes it possible for life to exist.
Converting CO2 into Clean Air & Energy
There is some amazing news coming from University of Central Florida this winter. A researcher employed there has just discovered a way to use the process of photosynthesis to convert carbon dioxide into clean air and produce a new form of energy in the process. Dr. Fernando Uribe-Romo, assistant professor of chemistry at the Orlando based school has just published his findings in the Journal of Materials Chemistry A.

Radiation In the U.S. Is Scary
After watching a review of John Oliver’s warning about the effects of accumulated nuclear waste during a recent Sunday night television show, I decided to take a new look at Bob Nichol’s website Radiation This Week. Nichols report is technical but if you study it, it is scary as hell. He not only backs what Oliver had to say, he suggests that our situation is so bad we may have unwittingly allowed for our own looming extinction.

Its End of the World And Nobody Cares
In all of the years I have been working as a journalist this is a story I never thought I would ever live to write. It is a story about a looming end of our world that appears to be happening before our eyes, it may be out of control, and the U.S. media and general population is paying little attention. Or perhaps they are shuttering their eyes and minds out of fear.

The Terrible Genocide In The Americas
Throughout history humanity has committed extreme crimes against itself, often in the name of God, because of racism and sometimes just because of a quest for land. None of the atrocities committed even by Hitler can compare to the terrible crimes committed by the invading Europeans against the millions of natives of both North and South American tribes from about the time Columbus reached the Caribbean Islands until the end of the American-Indian wars in the Nineteenth Century.

The Great Social Security Heist
Back in the early 1960’s when my late wife and I first began employment and building a potential nest egg for our future, we were shocked to discover how much the government was deducting from our paychecks each week for Social Security. Even then we calculated that if we could take the money deducted from our weekly paychecks for Social Security and invest it in personal low risk bonds promising a steady interest return we had the potential of becoming quite wealthy if we remained on the job for the next 40 years. But we were forced to accept Social Security. Now our government is claiming that the Social Security account is running dry. But it should be valued at trillions. So what happened to the money?

A Trillion Dollars To Cap Emissions
A comprehensive study by PricewaterhouseCoopers in 2006 laid bare the damage to our planet by the world-wide industrial revolution that began in Europe and the United States and continues expanding at this hour in China, India and Latin American nations in South America. The report suggested an overall estimated cost of $1 trillion to cap the greenhouse gasses that most scientists now agree is a major cause, if not the cause of global warming. The report also warns that the volume of these toxic gas emissions will double by 2050 unless rich countries agree to take “significant” policy steps to cut energy use.
The Black Pope And Jesuit Rule
Contemporary writings by William Garner and Sean Maclaren point to secret world government rule by the Jesuits, under a Black Pope, as a controlling force that has been operating for hundreds of years. Garner’s book, Who Really Owns Your Gold, and Maclaren’s sequel, The Black Pope and the Jesuit Militia Distort the History of the United States of America, describe what they believe has been a Jesuit controlled shadow government that has skillfully controlled kingdoms, dictatorships, democracies and religions throughout the European world and the Americas for centuries.

Turning Our World Into A Radioactive Nightmare
It began with the two atomic bombs dropped on Japan in 1945. Then there were the years of nuclear and hydrogen bomb testing by first the United States, then Russia, China, and the other nations as they joined the brotherhood of nuclear energy. We built nuclear electric generating plants. We put nuclear reactors in submarines so they could remain at sea and underwater for months without coming to the surface. We put them in naval vessels. Medical institutions found ways of utilizing radioactive tools to help study and heal the human body. After a few years it dawned on us that all of this exposure to radioactivity was affecting our health. But the buildup of radioactive isotopes has been getting steadily worse and there seems to be no way now of stopping it.

Albert Pike’s Blueprint For Fixing World Insanity
Most Americans don’t know the name Albert Pike. Yet this Nineteenth Century prodigy, who lived from 1809 to 1891, has probably had more of an impact on our contemporary way of life than anyone who has ever lived. Pike was a general in the Confederate army during the American Civil War. He was a lawyer, writer, newspaper publisher, member of the Scottish rite of the Freemasons, founder of the Ku Klux Klan and a follower of the occult Luciferian Cabbalism believed linked to the Rothschild-controlled European banking system that some say is known as the Illuminati. If the story is true, it was between 1859 and 1871 that he worked out the details of a military blue-print for three world wars to occur during the Twentieth Century. It is all designed to force us into a one-world government. This story is disputed by some historians who have called it a hoax.
Imagine A World Without Slavery
Slavery has been a way of life on Earth for as long as humans have recorded history. And there has always been a quest for freedom. The founders of the United States declared their new nation "the land of the free." That slogan has remained with us, even appearing in the lyrics of the National Anthem. Americans consider themselves free, but free of what? They have been relatively free of tyranny and after a bloody fight to gain the right to have collective bargaining at the work place they gained such extra things as paid health care, paid vacation time and paid sick time. They bargained for five-day work weeks and eight-hour work days. And child labor laws stopped employers from working children in their sweat shops. But they always had to return to that grueling place on the assembly line, or at a desk in front of a computer, spending eight long hours of monotonously doing the same thing day in and day out just to earn what they need to pay the rent, buy food for the family, and keep the family car on the road so they can get to and from their jobs.

Guiseppi Mazzini’s Dream Of A Unified World
The son of a university professor, Guiseppi Mazzini was a genius who entered university study at the age of 14 and graduated with a law degree. He worked as a poor man's lawyer but at the same time pursued a career in journalism and took an interest in politics. The link with Adam Weishaupt was a simple one. Mazzini's father was a member of Weishaupt's Illuminati and was active in the organization's movement that led to the French Revolution.

The Big Republican Social Security Rip-off
With the ultra-conservative right-wing gang of Tea party Republicans and Donald Trump controlling things in Washington, there is a huge threat of totally dismantling Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Food Stamps, and all of the other well-designed social programs designed to assist the poor and low-income people in the U.S. Few seniors are expecting any more financial help for the next few years. We are hearing the cry that if we want to eat, “go get a job!” Those words remind us of the infamous quote "Let them eat cake" allegedly muttered by French Princess Marie-Antoninette when told of the disgruntled populous. And we all know what happened in France and to Marie-Antoninette's head after that.

Explorations Into The Collective Unconscious Library
For years we have written about something called a collective unconsciousness . . . a common thread of knowledge that seems to be pooled in a brain library that all humans can access through right brain functioning. The name was coined by Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung. This human library appears to be the glue that the shaman refers to when he declares that "we are all one." What he means is that all people are linked to a common light system . . . some call it God . . . from which we originated.

Why "Modern" Medicine Remains in the Stone Age
The new treatments, and the report that a new an improved version of the Rife sound frequency machine is being developed is a sign that, at long last, the powerful drug companies and the lobby group for the American Medical Association is losing their grip on the medical industry. It is a sad fact that an apparent cure for cancer has been known for a very long time in the United States. The story behind this "secret" is so ugly most people may find it hard to believe anyone would purposefully do something so evil.

The Trump Assault on the News
The Washington gang has been busy covering Mr. Trump’s serpentine activities with “false news” and even going so far as to publish a false Time Magazine cover after Time and other world magazines portrayed him as an incompetent clown. With major newspapers and television networks now owned by a handful of big corporations, and aided by the Trump counter attacks, the American people have grown naturally suspicious of the news they are receiving.

The Secret American Vision For World Domination
There was an organization called Project for the New American Century, or PNAC, that was formed just after the collapse of the Soviet Union. This organization promoted the idea that it was time for America to take "preemptive action" to enforce U. S. interests abroad. Included in this plan was the removal of unfriendly governments so that the world can be changed as "favorable to American principles and interests."

Terrorism: The False Generation Of Domestic Fear
The whole concept of terrorism is not new. What is new about the current "War On Terrorism," launched by the Bush Administration after the 9-11 attacks has been the virtual size and scope of the government generated counter-attacks. The United States has turned itself into an international bully with its guns trained against entire nations deemed "guilty" of financing and supporting terrorist bombing attacks against American targets both at home and abroad. In the eyes of the world, we have, ourselves, become the great world terrorist.

Not Such Great Art
The Interacting Universe Is Alive And Watching
How insignificant the mighty affairs of man become when stacked up beside the actions of our living universe. While world leaders debate the reality of years of scientific warnings concerning the effects of carbon and methane gasses building up in our atmosphere, we are being bombarded with some of the worst storms, floods, droughts and heat in recorded history. Yet global warming deniers, prompted by the financial rewards pouring in from oil, gas and coal enterprises, are still blocking the extreme actions that might yet save us from extinction. It isn’t that the Universe hasn’t issued an earlier warning. While our leaders wrestled with threats of nuclear war, an overpopulated planet, loss of natural resources and environmental pollution, the Mother Earth flexed a muscle on Dec. 26, 2004, and sent out a massive earthquake so strong it unleashed one of the worst tsunamis to sweep the Indian Ocean in history. The force of the water devastated the Sumatra coast and over 240,000 people died.

Similarity of Neuron and Galaxy Networks
Italian researchers Franco Vazza and Alberto Feletti have supported a thesis we have been proposing, that the Creator exists in all things and that we, as living creatures on this planet, are but a minute particle of the energy that is the Living God. In a paper recently published in Nautilus, Vazza, an astrophysicist at Radio Astronomy Institute, Bologna, and Feletti, a neuroscientist at NOCSAE Hospital, Universitaria di Modena, noted the “strange similarity” between Neurons and the Galaxy.

Tracking The Human "God Gene"
Dean Hamer’s book,"The God Gene; How Faith is Hardwired Into Our Genes," created a stir among theologians. He argues that humans are genetically programmed to worship God. Hamer suggests that faith is reduced to chemical reactions in the brain. And this angers Christians who want us to believe that faith is a personal decision in life that marks a new path from judgment into that of eternal reward.

The Fight to Keep the Rothschilds Out of the US Banking System
Thomas Jefferson, the nation’s third President, understood the dangerous power of the European banking system. After elected to office he attempted to create a publicly-owned central bank designed to keep European monarchs and aristocrats out of the new nation’s affairs. But the Bank of England won the fight. In 1791 the Bank of the United States was founded with the Rothschilds as the primary owners.
A Creeping Enslavement of the People
There appears to have been a master plan underway to destroy access to knowledge and turn the masses of humanity into illiterate surfs to the bankers and corporate bosses who have seized even more control of the wealth. This shift from a time when Americans enjoyed a strong, union-driven middle class life style to the harsh living standards doled out today was a slow process that can be traced to historical events over the last 50 years.

The Looming High Water Crisis
The statistics published this year by Gary Griggs, an earth sciences professor at Santa Cruz’ University of California, puts the treat of our melting ice caps and glaciers in dramatic perspective. In his book, Coasts in Crisis; A Global Challenge, Griggs lays out a gloomy future for everybody living in cities and communities along the coasts of the world. He notes: “With about 150 million living within just three feet of high tide, and hundreds of millions more within a few more feet, future sea-level rise may be the greatest challenge human civilization has ever faced.”

About That Twenty-Eighth Amendment
Because of the shenanigans going on in Washington there has been talk about a proposed Twenty-Eighth Amendment to the Constitution. There presently are 27 ratified Constitutional Amendments in existence. Another five have been proposed, but all have failed to pass the state ratification process established in Article V in the Constitution. It requires approval by three-fourths of the states before an amendment can become Constitutional law.
We Are Born Into Social Enslavement
During my years working as a journalist, covering all phases of life from industry to government and the church, I have concluded that everything we as a society believe and do is carefully programmed by forces outside of our control. The above statement probably sounds like an old cliche to some readers, but if you think it out carefully, what is written is somewhat profound. It suggests that the reality we think we are experiencing is no more than a matrix of our own making. The very word "freedom," which is so cherished by Americans, is no more than an illusion. It does not exist. Everything we do and much of what we think is put in our minds via our televisions, our computers, our parents, teachers and the church.

The Impact of Capitalism on the News
Now that the printed news has fallen into disrepute and people now depend on the Internet and televised broadcasting to get reports about day’s events, the horrors of intense advertising is slamming us between the eyes. We can’t watch the nightly news now without wading through back-to-back commercials where smiling men and women try to sell us a line of products we don’t need or want. We can’t read an Internet story without having the promotion for some product and even the sponsoring publication forcing us to first read or at least look at a bright flashing promotion on the screen.
