Inner Worlds, Outer Worlds - Part 1 - Akasha

Here's another one of those esoteric videos I found at CGImaging. It comes in four parts. I've only seen the first so I can't speak for the others, but this one was pretty good.

Cyprus Will NOT Happen To The US (video)

... It will be much worse.
Video from Deep Space:

Update on Gitmo hunger strike


Three Hospitalized as Gitmo Hunger Strike Continues to Worsen
"Hunger strikes among an estimated 100 detainees have continued to worsen, with the military now conceding that as many as 28 are 'officially' hunger striking, and three of the detainees have been hospitalized as their conditions deteriorate. 10 others are also being force-fed."


‘Hunger strikes instead of justice’: Lawyers still denied access to Gitmo detainees
"Prisoners indefinitely detained at Guantanamo Bay have again been denied direct access to their lawyers. The US Navy has canceled commercial flights to the detention facility, where over 100 captives are reportedly continuing a 49-day-long hunger strike."


Activists join Guantanamo hunger strike in solidarity with inmates
"Activists across the world have launched a week-long fast to voice their solidarity with hunger-striking inmates at the United States’ infamous Guantanamo Bay prison in Cuba."

Ten years ago today

a war started. Thousands of innocent people died, became crippled for life, and were displaced. Families were decimated, lands were laid to waste, and millions of American tax dollars were sacrificed into a endless pit of death and destruction. How many thousands of American teenagers were sent there and now bear physical and emotional scars that will never go away?

All this happened because of lies. Intentional lies. And no one's in jail for it. Indeed, it almost seems like nobody really cares. According to a Gallop poll, only 53% in the U.S. think the Iraq war was a "mistake". I saw some military/politician guy get interviewed on one of the news shows yesterday. He was asked if the war was a "blunder."

To me, a "blunder" is when you screw up in a chess game. A "mistake" is when you misspell a word. What happened in Iraq was criminal in the nastiest, bloodiest, most heinous way. The Downing Street memos prove the men who called for this war lied to get it. And they're still not in prison. No, they're all on book tours.

I pray God grant justice to the people of Iraq and some insight and intelligence to the American people so that this nothing like this monstrosity ever happens again. We need trials for these war criminals, folks. I don't see how this country can heal without them.

In other news, I was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Mohawk activist Splitting-the-Sky, who attempted a citizen’s arrest of U.S. President George W. Bush in 2009 in Calgary for war crimes and crimes against humanity. He was only 61.

AE 9-11 Truth Slogan Contest

View the enhanced version of the action alert online

Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth Proudly Announces: "Operation Tip the Planet"


THIS IS THE YEAR WE MAKE IT HAPPEN!

In spite of the fact that the 9/11 truth message has been censored by many in the media, ignored by Congress and the President, and shunned by most academic institutions, polls still show that more than 30% of US citizens doubt the official story about 9/11. Let’s reach out to the rest!

The terrifying specter of drone strikes on US civilians, the Patriot Act, the Military Commissions Act, and the National Defense Authorization Act… these are just a few disturbing consequences that continue to follow widespread acceptance of the official 9/11 narrative.

Your Words Can Change The Course Of History


NOW… MORE THAN EVER… it’s time to expose the facts that undermine that narrative, get this message out, and empower the people…


Operation Tip the Planet (OTP), the first ever global, trans-media 9/11 Anniversary event, capitalizes on reaching 2000 Architect and Engineer Petition Signers!

With your support, we’ve already raised close to $100,000 in matching funds, almost half of the $200,000 we need for our billboard, subway, and grassroots-to-global multi-city campaign!

Here’s How Your Words Can Change The Course Of History


By the March 31 deadline, you create and submit the ultimate slogan or ad to be seen all around the world this September. Not a creative type? No worries. Help out by voting on April 1st! Or donate to help pay for more ads in more cities!

Enter the Ad/Slogan Contest Today!


We’re looking for provocative, compelling, tasteful, slogans or full ads to help jumpstart the most massive 9/11 Truth campaign ever!


We’re taking this worldwide… to hundreds of cities – in subways, on billboards, storefronts, bumper stickers, posters, tee shirts and more. But we need your genius to make it work!

Together, let’s generate enough media coverage to finally bring widespread attention to the 2,000+ architects and engineers calling for a new investigation into the destruction of the 3 WTC skyscrapers on 9/11.

We challenge YOU to come up with a memorable, innovative concept that will intrigue 9/11 Truth newcomers and give mainstream media a story they can’t resist.

This “pull out all the stops” viral, trans-media campaign is supported by a coalition of like-minded 9/11 Truth organizations, including:

We anticipate support from many celebrity sponsors, including famed actor Ed Asner.

Our month-long global advertising and grassroots action campaign beginning on September 1, 2013, will coincide & synergize with:
  • AE911Truth reaching 2,000+ architect and engineer petition signers
  • “9/11: Explosive Evidence – Experts Speak Out” airing all across the world
  • AE911Truth petition & DVD copy of ESO delivery to Congress members
  • 2013 Washington DC 9/11 Truth conference
We are counting on these simultaneous actions to have a multiplier effect that captures the attention of the public, and the media, and finally tips the entire planet toward 9/11 awareness.

An Important Message From Ed Asner
It’s been twelve years since 9/11. Isn’t it time that people around the world know what really happened? In spite of mainstream media’s refusal to cover this story, millions of people everywhere are becoming aware. Surveys reveal that more than 30% of US citizens doubt the official 9/11 hypothesis.

Now we’re at a turning point, thanks to years of grassroots outreach, and with your help, are finally ready to “Tip the Planet.”

Fast forward to September:

For the entire month… a single message appears all around the world – on billboards, subways, and highway overpasses… On lawns, office windows, storefronts, bulletin boards, tee shirts, bumper stickers, and even televised sporting events… On Facebook, Twitter, YouTube… In places like New York City, Washington, D.C., Woburn Massachusetts, La Mesa California, Tokyo, Madrid, Montreal, Buenos Aires, London – and countless other cities…

This is the concept behind Operation Tip the Planet, the first-ever global 9/11 Truth anniversary event. Be sure your city is included!

Join me in making 2013 the year of 9/11 truth.

Sincerely,

Ed Asner

Are Chemtrails Real?

If you don't think so, I'll wager you don't pay much attention to the sky from day to day. When I was a kid I used to watch contrails, which are just water vapor, slowly dissipate within seconds. They didn't spread out into greasy looking clouds that white out the sky. They didn't criss-cross like tic-tac-toe grids. I disagree with the kids in the following video about the reasons we are being sprayed with toxic chemicals, I tend to agree more with Zen Gardener, but yeah, start paying attention to the sky and alerting your neighbors. In the words of Zen, "Scream your awareness. Like a nightmare where your life is being threatened, let it out for your life, and make it your way of life!"



They Are Blocking The Sun, Period.

Pope elected

This is from "Sherrie Questioning All":

Just a note and something to think about. If you don't think that the person who was elected Pope wasn't already decided upon before 7:06 PM Italian time... you aren't looking at all the numbers.

White smoke at 7:06 PM which is 13 in numerology and he was elected on 3/13/13.

That is a planned event and number.

The pope hasn't been announced yet. I just wanted to get this information out there and people aware of it.

I will update the numbers when they announce his name (at what time) and then he shows himself.

Update - 2:13 PM

Exact name announced at 8:13 PM Italian time

Argentine Pope- Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio - Pope Name: Francis the First

He was born 12/17/1936 = 11

Yeah, I think there's something to that numerology business, too, Sherrie. 13, as all tarot experts know, is the death card. The guy's name ain't Peter, as in the St. Malachy prediction, but Malachy did predict this would be the very last one.

Mainstream media ignores Gitmo hunger strike

Apparently this has been going on for some time, and now the health of the hunger strikers is reaching a critical level.

Cindy Sheehan eulogizes Hugo Chavez

[I know not all my readers are Chavez fans, but I never forgot how he had the cojones to call Bush the devil in front of the United Nations. I don't know much about him, but I do know Cindy and if she liked him this much, he had to have been a great man.]

In Loving Memory: Hugo Chavez Frias 1954-2013

Hugo Chavez Frias, Presente!
Cindy Sheehan

A wonderful human being has passed.

What do I do when I am angry, happy, or sad? I write.

Back in 2004, shortly after my son, Casey, was killed in Iraq, a grief counselor advised me to write a letter to my son in a journal every night. I filled up three journals in the terrible months after his death. I often wrote at his grave and those journals did help me deal with the unspeakable loss.

Today, I write from a great well of sadness, but not just for me, for the world. My dear friend in peace and justice, President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, just lost his fierce and valiant battle with cancer.

Many people know about Hugo Chavez, the president, and constant thorn in the side to El Imperio the meddlesome and harmful Empire to the north. But I want to eulogize Chavez the man I knew.

He was my dear friend and comrade in a way where we were united in the struggle for peace and economic justice and equality. It’s not like I could text him, or we would chat about current events, but whenever I had the privilege to be with him, warmth radiated from his heart and I was able to connect with him in very real and human ways. Compared to the palpable realness of Chavez, most of the US politicians I have met with are walking and talking ice sculptures.

The first time I met him in Caracas was in early 2006 at the World Social Forum. I had been invited to sit on the stage while he gave a speech to those gathered there from around the world. He introduced me as, “Señora Esperanza,” “Mrs. Hope,” in contrast to his nickname for George Bush: “Señor Peligro,” “Mr. Danger.” However, our brother, Hugo Chavez, was the one who gave us much hope.

I have met and interviewed so many people in Venezuela whose lives were immeasurably improved by the vision and dedication of Hugo Chavez. How can one put a price on going from being illiterate to being able to read? A 65-year-old woman told me her life was transformed by the adult literacy program. It really made me appreciate the fact that I have always known how to read (it seems). What would I have done without my best friends, my books? Wow. I guess Capitalism would tally the cost of educating one student and, of course education here in the US is now just another commodity, but the look of wonder in my Sister’s eyes was priceless!

Another woman showed me her perfect teeth in a huge grin. She told me that her teeth used to be so bad, that she would never smile before, but now, due to her new set of false teeth provided by the national dental program, she walks around grinning like a lunatic all day, which made me laugh with joy! Again, Capitalism would say: One set of false teeth equals X amount of dollars. I say, being able to smile after years of embarrassing humiliation is worth more than any amount of gold.

Those are just two stories out of millions and my heart breaks with sorrow for the People of the Bolivarian Revolution that must be even more devastated than I, today.

I witnessed Chavez the proud “abuelo” (grandpa) once on a long flight from Caracas to Montevideo that I took with them. We chatted about out “nietos” (grandchildren) and felt a mutual connection there. I hugged my grandbabies a little harder today when I found out that Chavez died, because I know the wonderful connection that he had with his. My heart breaks for his children and his family, and his brother, Adan, who seemed to be constantly at his side.

It’s just a very hard day.

I was with Chavez in Montevideo, Uruguay, for the presidential inauguration of Felipé Mujica. I was amazed that Chavez could just plunge into the crowds and interact with the people without a phalanx of bodyguards, anti-aircraft missiles and assault weapons. His security detail was prepared, but not paranoid like up here in the Empire. Someone who is universally loved by the 99% need have no fear. Chavez had no fear.

Chavez’s courageous battle against the Empire was more successful than his battle against cancer. Chavez was able to inspire more leftist leaders in Latin America and my friends in Cuba will always be grateful for the friendship between Venezuela and Cuba. The struggle against neo-liberalism and the Empire has been far advanced under Chavez’s inspirational leadership.

This is a sad day and I am angry that the so-called leaders of my own country made Chavez’s life a virtual hell, but he survived one coup attempt and the many other attempts through the media and financing of his opposition to undermine the revolution.

When in the hell is this country going to mind it’s own goddamn business and realize that not every drop of oil belongs to our oil companies and not every democratically elected leader must pledge undying obsequiousness to the Evil Empire?

I am immensely proud of Chavez and I am immensely proud of the people of Venezuela who have worked with him to improve their lives and because they really understand the concept of “national sovereignty.”

I know the upper echelons of The Empire think they have won a victory today (if it didn’t give Chavez his cancer in the first place—don’t even start and say I am a “conspiracy theorist” everyone knows that the Empire is fully capable of it, they couldn’t kill him, or depose him, outright) and all the oil will now flow back into the hands of our big oil companies, but The Empire underestimates the people of Venezuela and their dedication to the Bolivarian Revolution and love for their leader, Hugo Chavez.

As we sorrowfully say, “vaya con la paz” to our Brother, Hugo Chavez, let’s also say, “long live the revolution.”

Chavez will never die if we honor his vision and continue our struggle against The Empire.
US Presidents come and go with destructive, yet boring and predictable regularity and are numbered for History's convenience when they should all have had black and white striped clothing and be behind bars. However, it is my belief that Hugo Chavez Frias will go down in World History as one of the most significant figures of the early 21st Century and his passing is a tragic and profound loss to us all, as his life was an inspiration.

A-dios, Señor Esperanza.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart and soul. Your light is far too bright to be extinguished by something as cruel as death and your light shines in all of us whose hearts burn with revolution and love for all the people.

My life and our world are far better today because of your life and the struggle continues until victory!

Cindy Sheehan

Kentucky Sheriff speaks elequently about the 2nd Amendment

From Kentucky Sheriff Tells White House: Go Ahead Make My Day... [h/t: Smoking Mirrors]

"A Jackson County Kentucky Sheriff is telling the Feds that they better not step foot into his jurisdiction. In fact, he is telling the Federal Government that he will not enforce any new gun control laws that he considers unconstitutional, and that they better remember that Sheriffs have more power than the Federal Government."
