Nelson Mandela Died June 26, 2013, So Why Are 91 World Leaders in Africa? [video]

Thanks to The People’s Voice.

Must admit—something stinks. I think you’ll want to see this. Very interesting information shared here, and there could be a time sensitive event going on, on the part of the Cabal.  ~ BP

Monty’s Message for Sun. Dec, 1st, 2013

© The Montague Keen Foundation 2013


Excitement is mounting as the consciousness increases. People are experiencing the changes, both in mind and body. You have a lot to be excited about because your awakening has brought about a change in the Dark Controllers due to the light that is now flowing through the minds and souls of humanity. Become aware of the light that eminates from the sun. Welcome it and take every opportunity to link with it. The Dark Ones try to block it from you with the use of chemtrails but it still manages to get through, so it is important to connect with it. Sunlight is important. Ask the question, why is so much effort being put into blocking it from you? Who has the right to block the sunlight that is your God-given right to have and enjoy? These questions must be asked, and explanations demanded. You can no longer just sit back passively and allow your lives to be contaminated in this way. It is time to stop being victims. You have a voice, so when you come together with one voice then the answers must be given. If you want change, then you must ask for it.

The History of the Future






The Nature of Things


When my grandmother was born a horse was the normal means of transport.  When my granddaughter was born the International Space Striation was the brightest light in the night’s sky. In other words, things change.   When I sat on the couch and watched the first man walk on the moon with my grandmother she didn't believe it was real.  When I tell my low information neighbors that the International Space Striation is the brightest light in the night’s sky they don’t believe it is true.  In other words, human nature doesn't change.

Dems Doomed the Country with Stupidity!


RUSH: Moving on to the Obamacare Stack, there are a lot of reports today, expressions of anger, humiliation, disappointment, over the debacle that continues to be the Obamacare website.  More glitches.  Now you've got people saying, "You know what, this thing can't be fixed.  It's gonna have to torn down and rebuilt from scratch."  And, by the way, remember the picture of the young woman that's been the iconic figure at HealthCare.gov?  She's gone now.  They've replaced her with two or three icons or graphics.  That woman was probably the Julia of the famous Obamacare commercial. 

But, anyway, I'll give you an example.  There's a piece here by our old buddy Ron Fournier, who used to work at the AP, bureau chief and then White House correspondent, and now he's at the National Journal.  And his piece is called, "Obama Takes Friendly Fire."  I'm just gonna read verbatim the way his piece begins.  "Incoming from Democrats: 'Dem Party is F****d.' That was the subject line of an email sent to me Sunday by a senior Democratic consultant with strong ties to the White House and Capitol Hill. The body of the email contained a link to this Los Angeles Times story about Obamacare 'sticker shock:'" And I have that LA Times story.  I'll get to that here in just a second.  Let me finish with Ron Fournier's piece. 
In the LA Times story, it says, "These middle-class consumers are staring at hefty increases on their insurance bills as the overhaul remakes the healthcare market. Their rates are rising in large part to help offset the higher costs of covering sicker, poorer people who have been shut out of the system for years. ... Although recent criticism of the healthcare law has focused on website glitches and early enrollment snags, experts say sharp price increases for individual policies have the greatest potential to erode public support for President Obama's signature legislation."

October 1, 2013, Conspiracy theory FEMA Camps






Ok, so this maybe a huge conspiracy theory but there are many many many people reporting about this day. Apparently, FEMA is preparing for a "natural disaster" and requests the help of Russian military troops to help with riot control? Wtf?

Connecting the dots between Syria, Fukushima, Olympic terror threats and the Nazi CIA, September 3, 2013


Reblogged from  What's the 'real' truth?





The attempt to start a war in Syria, the sudden spike in radiation at Fukushima, threats by Saudi Arabia to wage terror on the coming Russian Olympic Games and other unusual world events are part of a long ago planned bigger plot to start a fascist world government.

Matthew Ward’s Message for July 4th, 2013

Matthew Ward – July 4, 2013

US “independence”; God: politics, three levels of participation, assessing candidates; multiple effects of prevailing vibrations; memory loss; dietary benefits; balance
With loving greetings from all souls at this station, this is Matthew. From our vantage point, Earth looks like a sea of strobe lights as people are responding to the prevailing vibrations. You are feeling what is going on much more than seeing developments.
We will get back to that, but first we want to give you an important glimpse of history that relates to the United States’ celebration of its independence from England with traditional Fourth of July parades, patriotic speeches and fireworks.
The highest universal council meant for the colonies that fought for independence from British rule to be a showcase of souls’ sovereignty. Once united, this nation was to have shown the rest of the world that when people are free to exercise God-given rights, they live peacefully, cooperatively, creatively and prosperously.
Successive waves of early settlers followed their urge to “be free” and the founders of the United States acted upon their divinely inspired mission to form a nation that guaranteed civil liberties, however limited those were in the beginning since many in the population were excluded. The darkness that was heavily entrenched on the planet enabled slavery to flourish and denied women the right to vote.
Those exclusions mattered not a whit to the Illuminati whose power, in part, was seated in England’s royal family. They were not about to forfeit control of the “free” populace or the land’s vast wealth of natural resources, and they swiftly extended their European empire across the Atlantic. Through the top figures in industries, banks and government—and later sneaking into law the Federal Reserve System that in no way is a federal institution—the Illuminati regained control of the United States.
During the centuries since they extinguished the beacon that nation was intended to be for your world, they kept spreading their network of corruption and deception until it was global. Now that the network is losing the remaining remnants of its former power, step by step you are consciously claiming the sovereignty that always has been yours as the god and goddess selves you are.
Now then, whenever our messages include politically-related information, readers email their objections. This is one of the more gracious comments: “If the messages are to prepare us spiritually for ascension, as Matthew has said, he should stick to that and stop trying to influence our political opinions.”
Rather than explain again why we speak about political issues and their importance in the context of ascension—Earth’s and your society’s—I have asked my mother to copy what God said about this.
[The following, an excerpt from the chapter “Be Informed and Act” in Voices of the Universe, was transmitted October 4, 2003.]
The politics that controls all countries, all peoples, all economies and resources of your planet homeland has been instrumental in bringing your world to the devastated state it’s in.
In no country on Earth are people free. For millennia the dark souls of civilizations beyond your planet have been influencing their willing Earth brothers and sisters in leadership positions to deceive and intimidate the rest of the people. Regardless of who holds national leadership roles, they rule by the dictates of those forces that are unknown to the people and perhaps even to the rulers.
The influence of those dark alien puppeteers has resulted in all declarations of war and all decisions regarding economies and resources of the world. Their secondary aim is increasing the control and wealth of Earth’s leaders, whose greed for power makes them eager puppets, thus today you have a world with unprecedented concentration of vast riches, impoverished nations, willful environmental destruction and corruption oozing out of corporate connections with governments.
The ultimate aim of the puppeteers is annihilation of your planet. That will NOT happen, but beneficial changes for all require a change in the character of your world’s leaders. Voices must be raised with demands for leaders of spiritual integrity—that kind of character is exemplified, not merely proclaimed. I don’t mean that no leaders ever have been strong in virtues or that no voices ever have been raised to protest injustice and inequities—indeed there have been those individuals. Many of those brave souls suffered or died for that, and much of their good works has been undone by succeeding generations who blindly followed self-serving leaders.
Now, the collective will of the people is rising to expose and oppose this situation. As lies are exposed, more lies are being told, and those will be exposed too. Tyrannical regimes must and shall change. Although plans are afoot for this peaceful revolution through a joint effort between your civilization and many of your space family, that does not absolve any of you who desire a finer, brighter world from the responsibility of helping to create it. You all chose to be where you are at this time precisely so you could do exactly that! Actually, some of you embodied in other lifetimes as great leaders on Earth and well beyond, and you are back now to take on similar inspirational and constructive roles.
It is on three levels that you must act so that honorable governing bodies will be achieved. The first level is spiritual, and I’ll tell you what spiritual is NOT: It is not membership in any of the multitude of your religions. It is not the self-righteousness that is evident in great abundance. It is not escaping into a head-in-the-sand “prayer life.” It is not believing that neither good nor evil exists because those are only judgments. It is not accepting that everything is in divine order and will run its course without your participation. It is not refraining from seeing what is going on in your world because you’ve been told it’s all an illusion anyway. I am not saying that there is no truth in any of that; what I’m saying is that spirituality is not an inherent aspect of any.
The spiritual level on which you will change your leaders from being darkly-ruled themselves to people worthy of being leaders—true leaders with spiritual integrity—is within your hearts. That’s your usual depiction of where love resides, is it not? Actually, the sensation of love is a province of the soul, but it has strong physical effects at the heart that instantly spread throughout your entirety to uplift you in spirit, mind and body.
Love starts with self, with living so that loving self is as natural as breathing. Only then can you give and receive love. Love is contagious, unlimited, omnipresent. It is what changes bleakness of spirit into fullness of spirit, illness into health, lack into prosperity. It is the absence of love that breeds all the woes of your world, and it is filling the void with love that will cure the woes. This is not asking you to love what brings misery and deprivation and harm! It is asking you to simply feel love so you can send forth that energy—it will seek its way to the void.
The second level is mental—deeply thinking to discern what is truth and what isn’t instead of buying into what candidates say. The catch is, what information is truthful and what is not? What sources can be trusted? You have been deceived for eons by a few souls in one generation after another after another whose intent is to retain the control over you, so access to the truth is not easily come by. How can I put this so it is not a series of Don’ts? Always I prefer to be positive in statements, and I’ve already compromised that by my explaining what being spiritual isn’t.
Very well, I know how to proceed—think of what you want in your world. If that is peace and harmony and cooperation, that’s where to focus your thoughts. What will bring that to the world? Think of what will: Respect and dignity for all races and faiths and genders; help wherever help is needed; equitable sharing of Earth’s massive riches; cures of all diseases; education, fulfilling work and comfortable homes for everyone; honesty, kindness, compassion, fairness, harmony, sharing, justness, forgiveness.
Think of all those qualities and circumstances and let your heart and conscience guide you to the candidates you most closely identify with them. The words of campaign promises are worthless without a candidate’s heart and soul in them. Let your heart and soul, not just your eyes and ears, lead you to the persons who exemplify the love and light that’s needed to uplift your world.
The third level is action. If you want leaders whom you trust and respect, work toward that end. Publicly and financially support the people you want in office, but if that isn’t possible, then put forth your intention through the power of your energy focused on those persons actually holding the positions—I can’t emphasize too strongly the power of intent! You can be sure that the current people in power will have their supporters actively working because those folks get the trickle-down largesse in exchange. You who want love, peace and harmony will receive those incomparably greater victories in exchange for the energy you put forth to create them.
Thank you, Mother, and now we return to our statement that you are feeling what is happening more so than seeing it. No one is immune to the effects of the highest vibrations that bodies ever have had to adjust to. This is all to the benefit of everyone who is absorbing light—their cells are transitioning from carbon structure to crystalline, and if uncomfortable physical, emotional or mental sensations are adjustment-related, they will pass.
The most unsettling effect may be momentary memory loss. Perhaps you can’t remember the name of someone you know well or a specific word eludes you. When you walk out of a room or get into your car, you forget where you intended to go and why. Or maybe, once you are in the grocery store, you can’t think of the item you went there buy. If you are experiencing those or similar kinds of lapses, dear ones, please do not fret about it!
Mother, please copy what our friend from a highly advanced civilization said about this memory situation. Readers may appreciate hearing from another source the same information that we would give.
[Saminten’s explanation during one of our conversations in 2003 is in the chapter by that name in Illuminations for a New Era.]
You decry the loss of time that seems to be zipping by and another loss you lament is memory. Neither of these aspects of third dimensional awareness is being lost, dear ones. “Time” never has been as you devised it with 24 hours each day and 12 months in a year and so forth. This has served you well, but no longer is this happening. Your time structure is collapsing as energy is moving at its lighter density speed, and your periods of light and dark are coming with more velocity. So rather than time being lost, it is speeding up.
The memories that many of you speak of as “gone,” are not. With the acceleration of everything within the universe, it is natural that the cells of your body are reacting to being lifted into a higher survival mode. Most of all, this is affecting your brains—the computers that turn on your thinking and reasoning processes—and this is necessary! The light being absorbed by your cells is allowing your brains to slough the layers of forgetfulness and programming that have denied them full functioning ability.
If you are not experiencing any memory loss or a sense of scattered thinking, then you are stuck in the third density that not much longer will be the status of Earth’s being. So it is desirable for you to feel not quite firmly in touch with the reality of the day or the environment.
Thank you, Mother. The prevailing vibrations also are changing physical needs, and along with expanding your conscious and spiritual awareness, accommodating your bodies’ requirements is of paramount importance.
Sufficient sleep is essential—give your body the rejuvenation time it needs to perform well. Drinking a lot of pure water also is essential—it helps to eliminate the toxins you absorb through your polluted environment and adulterated foods, and it helps to keep bodies’ electrical systems working properly. Exercise in accordance with physical ability aids in those respects too, and it helps circulatory and respiratory systems to behave smoothly.
If you aren’t as hungry as you used to be, that’s good—the more light in a body, the less food it needs. Eat wisely. Fresh fruits and vegetables, foods that contain the most light, will hasten crystalline cellular growth and boost energy levels. Cut back on dairy products—they do not contain the nutritional value that is claimed and they clog circulatory systems.
If you aren’t ready to eliminate meat and seafood from the menu, reduce the quantity—most food animals live and die in horrible conditions and the energy of their traumas is passed on to consumers. Please understand that this is meant only to enlighten you and in no way is it intended as criticism of non-vegetarians!
Contrary to your expression “sugar high,” digesting processed sugars lowers energy levels. Choose whole grain cereals and breads, and if you have no allergies to nuts, almonds and walnuts are the best choices. All well and good if chocolate, coffee and tea cravers are having no ill effects from caffeine; however, if you are having digestive problems, caffeine may be a contributor. Drinking red wine in moderate amount can enhance the blood stream—this suggestion does not apply to persons who have drinking problems!—and sodas are not good for anyone.
Those are general diet guidelines for a typically healthy person, but the bottom line is, pay attention to your body—it will tell you what it needs for optimum operation. In blessing your food, asking that it serve your highest good and feeling grateful for the plants and animals that provided it adds light to whatever you are eating—doing that silently is as effective as audibly.
During this stage of adjusting to lighter energy, mood swings and phases of inertia or unusual nervousness are natural, and drugs prescribed to relieve those conditions instead exacerbate them. If you are taking medications for other health issues, talk with your caregiver about dosage reduction.
Even better, ask if remedies with natural ingredients can offer the same measure of treatment. The proliferation of chemicals in drugs and engineered food interferes with bodies’ self-healing mechanisms and other natural processes, and that makes it difficult to maintain balance. Find out if fatigue and other distress may be due to an imbalance in hormone levels or body chemistry—if so, learn which natural supplements can treat the condition.
We cannot emphasize too strongly the importance of balance! The universe is in a constant balancing act and so is every life form within it; however, for the long ages that darkness enshrouded Earth, the planet and her residents were severely deprived of the light that attaining balance requires. If you think of the balancing act as an internal teeter-totter that is perpetually moving in accordance with your condition in body, mind and spirit, you can see that the optimal motion is gentle rocking.
Meditation is especially helpful in maintaining or regaining that motion, and there are ways other than sitting in silence or listening to lovely sounds composed especially for achieving a relaxing meditative state. Spend time out in Nature, enjoy the companionship of animals, read poetry. Listen to your favorite music—unless it’s heavy metal, which shatters balance, and the tones of classical compositions are the most effective in restoring balance. Make time for solitude—even a brief period can be restorative.
Laughter is good for the soul and so is anything that evokes feelings of tranquility. In leisure time, choose lighthearted reading and the same quality of TV programs and movies. Spend time with dear friends and family. When it isn’t possible to avoid unpleasant encounters, envisioning light permeating the situation will help to alleviate stressfulness. Give thanks for blessings in your life—gratitude, like hope and optimism, is filled with light.
The prevailing vibrations also are intensifying energetic differences and many individuals are feeling a strong desire to make a major change. Perhaps look for a different job, end a relationship or start one, pursue a new field of studies, relocate to an area you know or maybe a place you know of but never have visited. We are not speaking about rashly acting upon an impulse, but rather heeding a growing sense of urgency to act upon an idea that has been simmering—this is the soul speaking increasingly loudly to the consciousness: This is what you chose in your soul contract.
Why are we offering guidance that we have mentioned, albeit more briefly, in previous messages or is available in any number of down-to-earth sources? We are telling you, our beloved Earth family: Please take care of yourselves!
The energy streamers that will be swirling with increasing forcefulness are prime opportunities to absorb light, and the sounder you are physically, mentally and emotionally, the more greatly you will benefit. You chose this lifetime so you could participate in your world’s transformation and spiritual renewal, and soul evolvement is the purpose of every lifetime—both require balance in body, mind and spirit. Letting mundane matters interfere with self-care or ignoring your soul’s messages causes imbalance and that dims your light, the light you need to experience what you chose and to evolve!
Dear ones, love yourselves as much as we love you, and take care of yourselves!

Undeniable Footage of Galactic Craft over New York City June 23 ,24,2013


It seems some craft were seen “drinking” from the river. I hope they have a stalwart constitution. Yuck! Perhaps they were members of the environmental crew Dr. Boylan spoke of and they were taking water samples for analysis.
There are at least two different kinds of craft in this video, including the cigar-shaped ship.

Announcing The IMPEACH OBAMA MARCH in DC… June 14th, 2013



It has been an exhausting couple of weeks for conservatives. There are so many live scandals now that it is easy to forget some of them. For instance, how many people remember that just a few weeks ago House members actually got to question DHS officials about their ammo purchases? I was just thinking about that today. How many MAJOR stories have hit since then? Fifteen? Twenty? We tend to lose count.

Tea Party Update !




Independence Hall Logo
March 17, 2013, 3 PM    
  

Dear Members and Friends,
  
Last week was certainly a miraculous one--both in Rome and DC.  
  
Besides the election of Pope Francis I, the Democrats in the US Senate, lead by Senator Patty Murray (D-WA), proposed a serious budget--something Senate Democrats haven't done in four years.
Senator Patti Murray
Senator Patty Murray
We congratulate Congressional Republicans, through smart strategic maneuvering, for finally forcing their Democrat colleagues to submit a budget. 
  
We also congratulate Congressman Paul Ryan (R-WI) for releasing his budget proposal which, like Senator Pat Toomey's 2012 budget proposal, would balance the budget in ten years without increasing taxes.  (Ryan's previous budgets would have taken nearly twenty years to produce a balanced budget.)
  
Of course, Ms. Murray's proposal does not balance the budget in the foreseeable future, nor does it tackle entitlements.  Instead, it mandates another $1.5 trillion in new taxes.  
  
By contrast, Mr. Ryan's budget not only tackles entitlements, it also defunds
ObamaCare.  To read more, click the following link:
  
Naturally, we urge the passage of Ryan's budget in the House and the defeat of Murray's in the Senate (see Action Alert below).  If both bills pass their respective chambers, as is likely, the resulting Conference will be extremely
contentious.
  
In another important vote, an Assault Weapons Ban, known as the 'Feinstein' bill, passed the Senate Judiciary Committee (10-8) along a strict party line vote.  (Yes, every Republican voted 'no.')
  
Even though the odds are against its passage by the full Senate, we urge all of you to contact your Senators, this week, and let them know that you support the 2nd Amendment and not the Feinstein bill.  
  
Action Alert
Call the Capitol Switchboard @ 202.224.3121 and ask to be connected to your   US Senators. Tell them to vote 'no' on both the Murray Budget and the Feinstein bill. 
  
Call the Capitol Switchboard @ 202.225.3121 and ask to be connected to your   US Congressman/woman.  Tell him/her to vote 'yes' on the Ryan Budget
  
Upcoming Events
On Monday, March 18, Senator Pat Toomey will headline a Veterans event regarding the recent controversy over the ranking of Military Honors for Drone operators. 
  
Dom Giordano and Association friend Joe Eastman will be among those in attendance.
  
Veterans Military Honors Event with Senator Pat Toomey
When: Monday, March 19, 2013; Doors Open, 1:30 PM
Where: VFW Post 928, McDade Blvd. & Sutton Avenue, Folsom, PA
  
  Frank Gaffney
  
This Wednesday, the Zionist Organization of America will host one of the nation's leading national security/anti-terrorist experts: Frank Gaffney.
 
Mr. Gaffney will discuss "Iran, Terrorism and You: Issues Facing America and Our Ally Israel & How You Can Make a Difference."
 
Iran, Terrorism, and You with Frank Gaffney
When: Wednesday, March 20, 2013, 6:30 PM
Where: Congregation Mikveh Israel, "the Synagogue of the American Revolution,"
44 North Fourth Street, Old City, Philadelphia.
 
Cost: Suggested $10 donation to help defray event expenses.
Please RSVP by calling 610-660-9466.
 
Tomorrow, the Association will begin its March Pot of Gold Money Drop Campaign.
Our goal is to raise $5,000.  If everyone contributed $5, we'd exceed our goal several times over.
 
Hope you had a terrific St. Patrick's Day!
 
On behalf of the Association Board,
Teri Adams

Every horrid thing you need to know about how healthcare is paid for today




"Despite more than sixty years of government efforts – representing the work of both political parties – we are moving further and further away from what we want. Prices are higher, more people are excluded from needed care, more excess treatments are performed, and more people die from preventable errors. Why?"

Stimulus Spending Fails to Improve Economy




If studies on the short-run benefits of stimulus spending and the historical reality of public spending are examined, Keynesian macroeconomic policies that support stimulus spending make little sense, says Andrew Young, an associate professor of economics at West Virginia University.
  • The effectiveness of Keynesian increases in government expenditures are determined by fiscal multipliers, which denote how large the increase or decrease in economic activity is for each federal dollar spent.
  • Spending multipliers depend on an individual's marginal propensity to spend out of their incomes and their expectations of future tax liabilities.
  • When stimulus spending increases the deficit, individuals reasonably expect that the future tax liabilities of the deficit incurred will crowd out the benefits of any spending.
This means that for every dollar spent by the government, less than one dollar of economic activity is produced as market prices and market interest rates place downward pressures on consumers.
  • Because stimulus is the result of the political process and suffers from diminishing returns, it is unlikely to be targeted in the most efficient manner at areas of "slack" in the economy.
  • Mixed evidence from various studies suggests the spending multiplier is either greater or less than one, and most researchers, even those who support stimulus spending, acknowledge there are large long-run costs of deficit-financed fiscal stimulus.
  • When governments use aggressive fiscal policy they create significant macroeconomic instability.
Economic instability in the short-run creates a lack of consumer confidence, general uncertainty and lower investment and growth. In the long-run, ballooning debt-to-gross domestic product ratios will dampen growth and destabilize the economy.
  • Despite the scant evidence supporting fiscal stimulus, many politicians and pundits continue to call for increased government expenditures.
  • The American Jobs Act, supported by President Obama in 2011, detailed $447 billion in stimulus spending but was largely blocked by House Republicans.
Given the employment and economic record resulting from previous stimulus efforts, the wisest approach the government could take would involve putting away the credit card and ending further deficit-financed stimulus spending.
