A Shocker: Partisan Thought Is Unconscious

January 24, 2006, New York Times

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/24/science/24find.html

Using M.R.I. scanners, neuroscientists have now tracked what happens in the politically partisan brain when it tries to digest damning facts about favored candidates or criticisms of them. The process is almost entirely emotional and unconscious, the researchers report, and there are flares of activity in the brain's pleasure centers when unwelcome information is being rejected. Researchers have long known that political decisions are strongly influenced by unconscious emotional reactions, a fact routinely exploited by campaign consultants and advertisers. But the new research suggests that for partisans, political thinking is often predominantly emotional. It is possible to override these biases, Dr. Westen said, "but you have to engage in ruthless self reflection, to say, 'All right, I know what I want to believe, but I have to be honest.' " He added, "It speaks to the character of the discourse that this quality is rarely talked about in politics."

GEE, I don't think my conscious mind can handle "news" like this. I wonder how much Dr. Westen got paid? -- Virginia

FEMA ignored early offers of Katrina aid

January 30, 2006,
Chicago Tribune
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/chi-0601300204jan30,1,4809351.story
Hundreds of federal search-and-rescue workers and large numbers of boats, aircraft and bulldozers were offered to FEMA in the hours immediately after Hurricane Katrina hit, but the aid proposals were either ignored or not effectively used, newly released documents show. The Interior Department, which made the offers, also proposed dispatching as many as 400 of its law enforcement officers to provide security in Gulf Coast cities ravaged by flooding and looting. But nearly a month would pass before FEMA put the officers to work. Acting in the "immediate aftermath" of the hurricane, Interior officials provided FEMA with a comprehensive list of assets that were "immediately available for humanitarian and emergency assistance," according to the memo, dated Nov. 7, 2005. Those assets included more than 300 boats, 11 aircraft, 119 pieces of heavy equipment, 300 dump trucks and other vehicles. Also offered were rescue crews from the Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Park Service--teams that were trained for urban search-and-rescue missions using flat-bottom boats...but they were "never formally tasked" for that assignment by FEMA. The Interior Department wasn't the only government agency to offer assistance to FEMA that was not used effectively. Amtrak reportedly offered, before the storm, to carry residents out, but its train left nearly empty. New Mexico offered National Guard troops, but for days officials waited for formal approval to use them.

CHECK THIS OUT!
This just in from Paola Harris in Italy...Something is in the air that tells me something " big" is about to happen. Saturday night over Milano there was a Sighting of 5 Objects that lingered in the air from 11:00 at night till 5:00 in the Am and our TV news channels covered it. Like the Phoenix lights, no one knows what to do.

Also, there were discussion groups on Orbs. The Orb Research Group was the first group created, on September 11, 1999, which the Universal-Orbs Group below it is a continuation of. Here it is closed for posting because space was running out, the Messages used to be open to the public, but it appears the owner of the list has set that feature for members only. You will have to register with Yahoo and sign in with your user name and password in order to access the Messages in the left column. The photos that were attached to these posts can no longer be opened because Yahoo dumped all photos that were in the Messages Archives.

However!!! Ed Vos, the owner of the Universal-Orbs Group, currently has put up a website with all the photos that were saved!!!- Orb Research Group

While there, you will now have to join to read the messages. If you want to join in the current discussion copy and paste the url on the Orb Research Group home page that will take you to the Universal-Orbs home page, or click on the url below. Just follow the instructions to subscribe to the Universal-Orbs Group, which is continuing the discussions, photos and experiences. (See UPDATE below) It was activated March 10th of 2003. Photos as attachments do go out the majority of the time to all members who have their email set to Individual Emails. Those attachments are no longer stored at the Yahoo site and cannot be opened. The owner Ed Vos is striving to put a website up with those photos that can be accessed by comparing the message number. He has all past photo attachments up already and for the newer posts you'll need to give him a week or two to get those up.

UPDATE!!! Because of unforseens, the Universal-Orbs Group has been shut down to further posting, though all the messages can still be read and Ed is maintaining the photo website.Information will be on this site:- Universal-Orbs Group

UPDATE September 10, 2005 The Universal-Orbs Group is closed for members by invitation only. Sorry. The group Orbs_Around_The_World, which had taken over the discussion after Universal-Orbs had closed, has been deleted as of yesterday. We find it curious that this happened almost to the day that the Orbs Research Group was started six years ago. All we can say is to just keep on photographing and possibly another group will appear that is compatible.

We are in the process of assembling one to use with the 283 Vivitar and will report on how it works for us. Al has other nifty things for photography on his site.

Update: we use these with our Epson camera and with all the Vivitar flashes (all use 4 AA batteries) and they work great! Slightly on the heavy side, but you can put it in a pocket or put it in a small tape recorder case to attach to your belt. We got extra batteries for spares. No more worrying if you've got enough AA's to take you through a night time photo shoot! No more buying and throwing away AA batteries!

Magnitude 4.6 Earthquake Hits Near Yellowstone and Mayan Predictions

Magnitude 4.6 Earthquake Hits Near Yellowstone by Mitch Battros -
Earth Changes Media

The moderate quake hit just 40 miles from West Yellowstone. This event is not unusually large or necessarily unexpected. However, if there were to be a continuing pattern of rumbling, I can promise you every newspaper in the world will be covering this event after my coordinated press release with USGS backing.

Severe Wind Storms Pound the US Northeast Over 160,000 homes are without power tonight as wind gust hit hurricane force.

In parts of Washington State, wind gust of 78 mph have caused significant damage to large vessels, homes and roads. The storm forced closure of the floating bridge that takes State Route 520 across Lake Washington east of Seattle for the first time in nearly seven years. High water, heavy winds and a mudslide prompted a 48-hour shutdown of passenger rail service north of Seattle. Washington State Ferries shut down the Port Townsend-Keystone ferry run connecting the northeast tip of the Olympic Peninsula and Whidbey Island because of choppy waters on Puget Sound.

Mayan Prophecy "Watch for Water" I have received several emails suggesting what this could mean. One item I would not have thought of did come forward. Perhaps what we might see is something happening to a large Cruise Ship. Rescue teams are continuing the search for more than 800 people missing two days after an Egyptian ferry sank in the Red Sea carrying 1,400 passengers. This is 2/3 the life lost on the Titanic.

"Watch for Water" Heavy Rains in Florida (Atlantic Ocean) Cause Flights to Divert
About 25 flights into the Tampa International Airport were diverted because of the heavy rain and lightning, said spokeswoman Brenda Geoghagan. The rain prompted flash flood watches and warnings in parts of Hillsborough and Pinellas counties. St. Petersburg had recorded 12 inches of rain by afternoon, and parts of Pinellas County were getting 3 inches per hour, the National Weather Service said.

George Bush Begins Game Plan to Attack Iran Using almost the very same language used by the Bush regime to attack Iraq has begun to hit the news wires. "The path chosen by Iran's new leaders - threats, concealment, and breaking international agreements and IAEA seals - will not succeed," says George Bush. "Iran's true interests lie in working with the international community to enjoy the benefits of peaceful nuclear energy," US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said the US hoped Iran would heed the "clear message" from the IAEA. "The world will not stand by if Iran continues on the path to a nuclear weapons capability," Ms Rice said in a statement.

The War Drums Don't Stop With Iran SYRIA has now been placed in the cross-hairs. Just a coincidence. Attempts are now underway to draw-in international support to bomb Syria off the map. We saw this almost exact tactic used in Panama, Chile, and Honduras and most recently with Haiti. I guess old tricks never die. Denmark and Norway have condemned Syria for failing to stop attacks on their embassies in a row over the publication of contentious cartoons. Syrians set fire to the Norwegian and Danish embassies in Damascus in protest at the publication of newspaper cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad.

______________________________

I mention the articles above to track the words of Carlos Barrios, high priest Mayan elder.

The following are the highlights he told me over the phone some weeks ago:

  • Watch Yellowstone super-volcano to act-out in April.
  • The US will attack Iran and Syria some time between March and June.
  • Watch for heightened tension between Pakistan and India and possible limited nuclear exchange perhaps around the time of the attack on Iran and Syria.
  • "Watch for water". This could be rains, floods, disasters related to water are numerous and I would guess could involve such things as disasters involving Cruise Ships.
  • Reminder: "Never give your power away".

As I have stated, I have a highly honored respect with Carlos and our Mayan brothers and sisters. Really for all spiritual teachers who have succeeded their earned initiation and right of passage. But even so, we must never set aside our personal journey to follow another's word or belief. It is far more powerful to follow ones' own truth.

Of course seek the wisdom from others of what seems true for you. But not because it is their truth, or 'a truth' but "your truth". There is no shame or dishonor in disagreeing with those whom we respect.

After all, is it not exactly what a great spirit would encourage in the first place?

It is most important for my own personal journey to very carefully walk the road between the two paths. To be careless in going too far one way or the other will defeat my purpose. Not because it is "the path or truth", only because it is "my path and truth". (mitch)

Oh btw.did I mention the ECM studio is in Seattle?

Powerful message - channeled predictions for the coming year - 2/2/06[This is not a very positive, uplifting message but one that should be heeded -- I can see a lot of truth in predicted upcoming events if changes are not made - by us. - Ellie M.

Virginia -- Many things in this message, particularly the framework are excellent. I do not agree with the Hilary Clinton/Rudy Gullliani message however. Not at all. I've left it in. Perhaps their souls will show some new forms of empathy but .... if the message is "get your life right, these two have not necessarily been outstanding example, IMHO. No one person is the answer to the world's problems. There are no Messiahs, just all of us finding our ONENESS.

PREDICTIONS FOR THE COMING YEAR 2006

If you want an authentic life you must consider the best way to love yourself, by accepting yourself.

There are many things shaping your society and it is becoming a more global society. Every aspect of your life rests on one thing. ONE thing. How you view yourself.

It is awkward for us to speak about predictions. It is not something we find of interest but we do get these requests from time to time. For our view it has all fairly much stayed the same. Those who initiate the replay make it somewhat different, but we will guarantee you that 2006-2007 will stay the stay, without much other than that which is already playing out. There are greater concerns. Far greater. Indeed.

But we will tie these predictions into a useful framework.

On real estate, your lifetime investment which you work hard to earn and sustain and that you take pride in, there will be a cooling period and a rise in interests going, on average, from 6 percent to, in some areas, slightly over 7 percent. Short term rates will increase up to 5 percent by the end of this year and there are GREAT concerns for inflation in 2006 so there is an attempt to slow your converging markets down. Yes, indeed. Predictions.

Housing and home appreciations [depreciation?] will be at about 10 percent to 12 percent, especially on coastal, urban areas. There will be increased home sales in California, Massachusetts and some areas of Connecticut. The midsection of The United States will be about where it is with modest increases. France will see an increase in pricing and more trouble with employment statistics. In England there will be complications to pensions and payouts and the infrastructure will see an event that will impact its interest rates and investments. Indeed.

Now that we have said this, we say to you that there will be more statutory laws regarding lower tolerance on certain crimes, but more so "red-lining" of the populaces that are judged for them. There will also be more outsourcing and employment figures will decrease while unemployed figures will increase. You will need to get ready to tighten your belt if you are middle-class or lower within demographic guidelines. This will improve in 2008-2009.

Who to predict for and what to predict about? When it is, what it is, or already is, is nothing more than energy which is already in play. It is not predicting but observing. Rarely, if at all, does anything arise on a yearly impart that has not already been put into play. You are responsible for allowing these occurrences to happen.

There will be an increase in inflation potential but long term inflation will remain controlled. A lot of this has to do with the current Presidential Administration in The United States. The American Dollar will remain about the same with slight depreciations. It will be after this administration's effect, which will linger internationally and for some time, that there is GREAT cause for concern. All that is being balanced and floated will become increasing apparent. You have been through this before but this generation has forgotten what it is like. You forget your history.

In 2006 we are concerned about the increased potential for cataclysmic events in Asia, especially in Japan and China. This year there will be an increase for earthquake activity and flooding in this area. There will a closer alignment of space bodies during this year going into 2007 that will have greater impact on the Earth and its natural forces. In the spring of this coming year, 2006, there will be a total solar eclipse where the moon will mask the sun in equatorial areas and people will see it as a prophecy of doom - this is not so - it is nothing more than an alignment period. But it may and will likely coincide with Earth events in these areas.

The mid-summer sea quake within the Asian basin is of concern also but may be mitigated. Indeed. Predictions. It is likened to bird watching. Seen from above and through time, it takes reoccurring form.

In these areas, populaces will experience new flus. We have spoken much on this. It has been being shaped and ignored for some time. Another noteworthy occurrence. Indeed.

There will also be a great change in the coming 2006-2007 time line, in linear expression, concerning the Asian markets which will strengthen greatly as they purchase more of the traditionally American controlled industries.

Just as an economic union was formed to establish the Euro for economic markets, we see Japan and China merging into an economic union followed by Korea at a much later date, but Japan, Taiwan and China will form a union and gain an economic control through the establishment of an economic monetary unit of the international economic marketplace. This will not play out in 2006 to 2007 but the seeds for that formation and foundation will be founded in the latter part of 2006 with more control of the economic markets going to China.

This is of great concern and it should be to you all. Flus and new strains of viruses concern us because they are already out and among you. They have been allowed to become what they are. These flus and viruses are hybrids that you do not have ready available treatments for. There are treatments, not cures, but this is about pharmaceutical industries profit making. The medicines are available but due to licensing issues they are being storehoused by some countries and not by others. HIV still concerns us but because of these issues there is a way to go regarding this. It seems that there is thought that it, the HIV virus, is treatable and curable. This virus is MORE deadly than ever. There is a global spread of this virus and a mutation of it that is causing it to be masked with 'common' symptomology. The youth of all countries should be more prepared for it as should the elderly. Abstinence is NOT an alternative that is practical.

If you think it is, then you are sadly mistaken. Indeed. Disease is not only a disease of mal-aligned energy, it is also of a communicable type of virus that is spread through physical contact. Viruses mutate and adapt. The strain or types of viruses become immune to treatments through this process of adaptation. If you repress the natural inclinations and biochemically induced urges of a person, that which is natural to them, then you are repressing that which is necessary for their development. That which is suppressed will come out and up in another manifested form of dis-easement.

Those in La Principaute del Monaco should brace themselves for another social impact of torridness within their elite. Common as common may be, all men are driven by the flesh and the errors that rule that flesh. This insulated part of the world will always be so but it is the human aspect of the rich with idle time that hallmarks the inquires of events that shape their daily routine. Monotony of the wealthy. Indeed.

An aspect of reflective, problematic issues that escape everyday men and women and are far worse than those who would dream would ever care to experience.The experiences you have are shaped by that which you covet and you covet that which you see every day and are denied access to. This has occurred throughout your common history. We would say to you to watch where the two flowing tributaries of rivers and commerce merge. Hmm, Indeed.

We have spoken to you about that which is hidden, coming to the surface. Here will be another of that - Switzerland will have hidden banking issues that they thought they had been clearly rid of since the war years and the Holocaust brought, yet again, to the surface. Indeed. Also this is where pharmaceutical research is being done and held. Treatment not available in other areas of the world WILL be available here. But then again, this is an insulated part of the world.

It is a part of your reality that you forget your past and in so doing, repeat it, because, of course, it can't happen to you! Soon, those who are in their eighties and nineties and recall what happened during the years of the persecution of races and religions, otherwise called The Holocaust, will be forgotten as they will have faded from memory by their passing. And mankind WILL repeat this.

Right now, ask your children when you have time if there ever was a Holocaust and what it was about. More than likely many will look at you and not even know what you are taking about. Now think about what else they are not prepared for. What is will be the events that will teach them about life because it is not being taught to them now.

In Acts 2:17 of your Christian Bible it says that, "'And it shall come to pass in the last days,' saith God, 'I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and daughters shall prophesy and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream.'" And in this is the truth of God. All is connected to the whole and to its history. But then to what avail? Predictions and prophecy are nothing unless they are useful tools to guide those who are living on the Earthly Third-Dimension to a higher way of being.

Parlor tricks are always fun when you have guests over who seek to be entertained. The heavy velvet drapes are pulled back, the medium moans and goes into a trance, there are rattles and a dead relative speaks. Such out and out foolishness. Contrivances for entertainment. The spirit gift of a guide is to do just that, guide. Indeed.

More to the point - there will be and are currently about sixteen states that are democratic within The United States of America and the demographics of your country are being reshaped in an attempt to secure a more conservative infrastructure. But herein is the face of occurrence and it is they who are empowered, who have already seeded a move from conservatism to a more fairly democratic representation through their extreme decisions which have not worked out. Look at where this country is at. Look at what is being done. As long as you have the modest comfort you will do nothing and then you will be 'in the mix'. As long as you hear what you need to hear, you are satisfied. Indeed.

The light has already been shown and people who were repressed socially will rise up again in demonstrations against such political contrivances. We will tell you that equal rights to marriage will be gained and more states, provinces and more countries will recognize that. In so doing there will be strengthened economies and improved health rights of people. Already within societies there is a decrease in the amount of manpower and force that the government needs to maintain its 'false' stronghold over and within other nations. This is especially true in The United States.

There, to replenish that supply, the 'back-door' draft will become more and more apparent. It is not until it is reinstituted - and this is closer than you would care to believe - that those who have never known anything but comfort, electronics and the computer will face their own mortality. You as a nation, in 2006-2007, will suffer greater losses than you have yet known for in the darkness of a man's soul, his anger will lash out and a new religious war will be lost. The path you are being led down is one that is being led by an ego-based man who has no loss to consider and whose family is insulated by such impacts. Why, then, should he be concerned with your losses? Unfortunate.

The growth in foreign economic aid due to the increased debt ratio of The United States of America will slow down. Impacted global investments will worsen international economic strategies. In other words, you all are over extended. The Euro will remain very strong against the American Dollar and the Canadian Dollar will grow as will their urban economies.It will become increasing difficult for those in The United States of America to see a long-term increase in their investments. This 'war on terror' has created new areas of recruitment that never existed before.

This should concern you all for the more that is displaced and the more that goes without, the more there are who have nothing to gain. These disposable people will do anything to secure better 'tomorrows' for their families and future generations, even at the cost of their life. Africa is an area to watch regarding this.

There will be a decline in trade due to the increased prices in oil and natural materials and metals. Africa is a continent with many untapped reserves of oil and minerals. This area will be more closely looked at in 2006-2007. We have spoken to you before about Africa and its importance as a mirror to the world for here is the place the seeds of all civilization came to be. From Lemuria to the magnificence of the Egyptian Empires, this is the cradle of your civilization. These are the faces of your ancestors and what happens to them will happen to you. They are your litmus test. Indeed.

There will be a shift in money trade and investments. Greek banking and banks backed by 'the Euro' will have increased profits and become much larger international players.So much is placed upon this information, but what will you do with it? Will you see the patterns we are showing you?

This is not about eclipses or planets, or randomness of occurrence. It is about an interlaced connection that exists between YOUR choice of action and your shared responsibility in creating it. Look at what has happened since the New York attack. You turned your independent reason and self-empowerment over to a radical thinking man who followed his own agenda, blaming the axis of evil. This phrase alone has a tone of religious superiority to it. No one person, or one society, has an exclusive right to impose religious ideologies on another. You have allowed individuals to be detained in cells at Guantanamo Bay for years without representation. You have allowed your children to die for a cause that one man said was necessary. It is what YOU do that matters. It is what you do that matters, dear ones. This is nowhere near its end and it will take your voices and collective reason in 2006-2007 to make all this right.

Right now is your time to begin. We have spoken to you on this before. You are to watch Rudy Giuliani who started his political life in the trenches and worked though the New York City attack. Also watch Hillary Clinton as she is in energetic alignment to make further political inroads. In 2006-2007 these two are watch contenders for consideration in the Presidential nominations.

There are problems with the current Pope in Vatican City and he will set the church back in his own limited sight throughout 2006-2007 to undo the civil right gains and equal access gains the prior Pope had made. This will go out all over the world. This man should watch his health during this time. We had spoken to you before and told you 'that the smoke would rise and change in color would hallmark a shift in direction'. Much of this goes back to his ties to and with The German War years. The next Pope will lead his faithful to a more enlightened and positively inspired church.

Call these predictions or prophecy, if you will. We would share with you that these are a connected string of events that you each, YES, indeed, you each allow to occur.

What you feed into and what you allow to occur by turning a blind eye to it by giving your power to someone else who says they know better, by forgetting your ability to reason, shaped these very events. You, my dear children, can delegate responsibility but you can NOT delegate accountability.This Katrina Tragedy on the American Gulf coast is about very much the same processes. Herein you have most, or the greatest percentage, of your own internal defense mechanisms, the military - not unlike the body's own white cells and defenses - deployed overseas in a 'war' that will come to hallmark this President's historical legacy. Indeed. If your body is fighting an infection in one place within your body, how effective will a treatment be for another infection or injury to another part of your body? Then the bureaucracy within your own government was shuffled and changed so independent agencies like FEMA, which had its own Congressional abilities, no longer does. Herein is the part of the process you do not connect with.

As long as you can go on with your life untouched and unhampered you do nothing, with little thought to the possibilities that could arise. Then, dear ones, you find your coastlines restructured through storm and natural disaster and you are helplessly waiting for others to help you. You must begin to think proactively. You must take more responsibility.

Here is a part of your world, not a third world nation, which you viewed in a very exclusionary manner. Do you not hear what is said? Then you go on about your life and you give a few dollars to ease your conscience. As long as it doesn't happen to you! Indeed.In Thailand on Dec. 26, 2004, there was a Tsunami where over 5,000 people died. This Tsunami impacted India and other land areas. But that was them. 'They' still have not recovered and now it is YOU and you will not recover for sometime beyond 2006. The devastation and its impact will not impress your beingness for long, as you forget. There is a likelihood that yet again there will be further impact. There will be.

What does 2006 hold for many? For those new homeless that are in the thousands, it holds the hope of a new future based in nice rhetoric, flavored with a decent smile and a promise of 'coming together' while those who make those promises go to their own homes comforted within nice warm beds, awakening to another day in their life. It holds the empty dreams of children who will no longer have the friends they grew up with, the family they knew, or the roofs over their heads they called home. With budget constraints tighter, the 'war' looming on indefinitely, the economy straining - those who have will flourish and those who 'get by' will tighten their belts and take up the slack helping those who are truly helpless. Ah, yes - you are thinking, what positiveness is there in this? Indeed. If you ask that, then perhaps you are part of the problem.

It is how you realize how you got to where you are, not reassigning blame once you are there but fixing the issues at hand. In 2006-2007, there will be further polarization of economically based classes. But in saying this you NOW know where your work is at. It is at the turning point. It is coming to the time when Divine Intervention has placed before you such contrast that you can see clearly where the problems are. If this had not happened would you have known how disposable the poor are or how they are viewed with hidden prejudices within your own society, not unlike the caste system in India? Would you have believed that because someone is of color or because they are elderly they can be forgotten and cast aside? Oh, NO! Everyone will say, Oh, No. And we would say to you, as with any child, growing up hurts. It is through loss you learn to value the power you have and how you can make a difference in your life. You make this difference by coming together and becoming one and using that voice to say that there was an imbalance and it needs to be righted.

There are those who stole to survive. They took shoes to cover their feet when they had none. They took food to eat when they had none. And others just took, like any child who is angry and hurt. But like all abused children, they readily forgive those that abuse them out of fear - the fear of further loss, the fear of being trapped.

Open your homes in 2006-2007. We will see a shifting of demographics and ethnicities. Many areas will benefit from an influx of artists, cooks, chiefs and businessmen. These areas will be enriched and grow into newer, diverse areas.

Those that choose to help themselves and meet God half way will have God meet them the other half way and in so doing they will be fully restored to a place of betterment, a place further improved than where they were.But more so, what this event did was to remind ALL of you that you are not immune, that you are not above reproach and that you are each other's keepers. Take care of yourselves at home and STOP involving yourselves in places and in other society's lives where you should not be involved. There is a saying that charity begins at home.

The energy of land resides within that land and consumes it. Land, like time, endures. You cannot permanently affect it. It will outlast you. It will endure. For like with all things greater than yourselves and the impressions of ownership and entitlements you think you have, you cannot own something outside yourself. Your personal accountability and responsibility for being caretakers of this planet must be seen as a universal obligation.

The energy stays within. It is focused and remains. Nature will pull at that energy and tug at it until it gets noticed and its force will remind you to take accounting of your actions.

Be of resolve to become interested in your life and lead an individualized, authentic life. Do not be passive. Take interest and question authority. Know you are one with all that has been and in this you are not alone. ONE voice, perhaps it will be your voice that will make the difference.

Yes, indeed. It is all nothingness. Indeed. It will all pass. It will all come to dust and be forgotten as generations pass away and times move forward. There will be stories and moments of recall by grandparents or professors, or storytellers, and these stories will fall on ears that will hold those thoughts for a moment and then they, too, will move on to newer thoughts.

God wants you to be purposeful. God wants you to be successful. There are no limitations with God and therefore you can achieve whatever you dream of.

But you put limitations in front of you each time you become complacent, for all it takes is but ONE person not to do the right thing for evil to take root. Your ONE voice can make a difference. Use these thoughts, these preponderances, these predictions to see the importance you can make in their resolve. Be that ONE voice that dares to believe and dares to have the faith in their own resolve to speak out and express reason.

Much of nothingness is silliness. For in time all turns to dust and what remains is the belief of hope.

When you focus on YOU and your voice, the ability to resolve becomes a reality for all of humanity.

You are not alone.

Believe in yourself and remember where you come from for in this there is pride and strength.

Stand on the foundation of your faith and see the generations of all your ancestors standing there with you and crying out together.

WE ARE ONE.

BULLETIN ITEM
Earth Changes Bulletin Update As Of February 1 2006

IT CONTINUES – The Major Anomaly In Chandler's Wobble - 2005/2006

There is a relatively large, developing anomaly in the spiraling motion of the spin axis, including an huge phase shift, a shortening of the length of the normal 7 year cycle, the tightening of the spiral motion into an exceptionally small spiral, and a major acceleration in the drift of the Spin Axis (secular drift of the poles, or so-called True Polar Wander).

This anomaly is on-going and portends major changes in tectonic activity during ensuing years.(ECB – February 1, 2006, MWM) For two weeks now there has been almost no movement of the spin axis. The track of the wobble for the past two weeks has added almost nothing to last week's graph which is shown below (at the linked site - see the January 18 note).

AS PREVIOUSLY SUMMARIZED: The phase and magnitude of Chandler's Wobble is undergoing a profound shift. I suspect this lack of movement is an awesome portent of sudden tectonic changes, judging by the results of the last major anomaly in the movement of the spin axis during 1934-1938.

If tectonic activity mirrors that period in the coming years, we will see two periods of major increase in tectonic activity

One period will be for about 14 months when the spin axis does continue its progression of movement into the next 7 year X WAVE cycle of Chandler's Wobble. This first spiral turn will produce a major increase in volcanic activity, possibly by as much as as 100% over last year or even more. This 14 month spiral turn should also produce a similar increase in general earthquake activity in the Northern Arc of the Pacific Rim of Fire - should be unusually strong in Japan, Alaska, California. This means from now through to the middle of 2007.

Then for the next some 14-16 years, world earthquake activity 7.0 plus should be double that of the general yearly average. Please note that this doubling of activity 7.0 plus during the next 14 years will be on top of the general trend of increase in earthquake activity in the 3.0 to 7.0 range, which is increasing in the range of 50% per decade. These numbers are uncertain and are not predictions, but they do reveal a range of realistic possibility based on the averages of the past. An acceleration in this range over the base of the past few years would doubtless substantially increase destruction of human habitats. The first surge may come in as little as 90 days but is probably not all that likely during the next lunar period.

See the background report (as of Jan 18, 2006) and the latest plot: Go immediately and see the current wobble track. This introduction and all updates related to polar motion is written with the graph at

http://www.michaelmandeville.com/earthmonitor/polarmotion/2006_anomaly_wobble.htm

Return of the Phoenix: I am not finished yet with Book Three. NO ETA. It is very soon – a matter of days.

SOLAR VORTEX
Sunspot Count is 0, Flux is 78 and falling, practically 0% probability of solar flares and ionic wind, Fluxgate Monitor is virtually flat line though not quite mirror flat revealing no ionic wind hitting the Earth.

Venus is pulling ahead of Earth now as Earth similarly pulls ahead of Saturn after a relatively long alignment. Meanwhile Mercury is nearly on the opposite side of the Sun betwixt alignments with Neptune and Uranus. Mercury will dance by Uranus during this next three days

Then the planets will be almost all mutually spreading apart, weakening their mutual influences through to about the 21st of February.

On February 25 Mercury Mars and then begins a quick success of alignments every several days with Saturn, Earth, and then finally on March 21 Mercury will be in very close alignment with Venus and Jupiter to choreograph what is likely to be a major affair of sunspots and storms on the Sun.

Expect Sunspot Counts to fall away now through to about February 14, then another modest to strong blip about the end of the month for the Mercury Earth alignment, to be followed by a major peak on about March 14 for the Spring Equinox Three-Way between the two inner-most planets and the giant, near-star Jupiter.

We are 3 days past the New Moon, which is still very close to the Earth in the South Node. The next Full Moon is Feb 13, which will be close to Apogee, hence it will be a "weak" syzygy window. There is probably little to worry about from major tectonic activities until the end of February.

ATMOSPHERIC VORTEX
The solar storm and sunspot ionic impact on the Earth's weather should be neglibible now through to about the ides of February to reach a peak by February 20 and again about the end of the first week of March. Expect Spring Equinox to be a very wet, very intense stormy period, by not as extreme as has been typical during the last several Springs. All weather will be more mild this year than the last several years but the weather PATTERNS will continue to be non-normal because of the chaotic mixing effects which Global Warming Syndrome is inducing into the flow of air.

All local regimes will continue to be perturbed and this perturbance will gradually get more and more surreal through this time of the rapidly accelerating Change In The Earth. No normality will be seen for at least the next four millennia. All biomes will relentlessly migrate and transmute. Catastrophic impact of the weather in some regions, such as the Carib Basin, will ebb and flow in severity in response to the modulation imposed by the 7 year cycle in the Wobble, (the Primary Axis Cycle. In general, the coast lines of the Gulf area, including Florida, are in process of being destroyed and this process will accelerate.

For all intents and purposes, the Louisiana/Mississippi coasts are now undergoing human abandonment. The cultural systems of the Americans are inadequate to the task of responding rationally, their institutions are too incompetent and corrupted to manage the issues. Perhaps it is just as well. Any money spend in the region is a waste of effort, the appropriate response along the coast is migration to higher ground. This will be quite obvious by even the end of this year or next year at the latest, the continuing punch by superstorms will exhaust all resources.

By 2011, all discussions on these issues will have become passe and few if any people will actually live year round along the swampy coast lines.

Florida, you too. Mass migrations will empty some portions of Florida during the next six years.For those in the Western States, may this be a badly needed awakening. You can clearly see now that the institutional matrix of crazy white man world in the U.S. will disintegrate and collapse in the face of widespread destruction produced by a 9.0 coastal quake such as struck Sumatra, or the 8.0 plus which struck in the Himalayas. When you are hit, expect nothing in the way of government grants, and loans and insurance payments for actually rebuilding your lives. Whatever is wiped out will be gone and you will become a pioneer once again surviving on the edge.

GEOPHYSICAL VORTEX
Seismic activity has remained relatively low in frequency and magnitude during the past seven days. Distribution appears random throughout the Earth. We can clearly see what happens when the Earth’s crust is NOT wobbling and changing the location of the Spin Axis. Seismic activity remains at a low level in chaotic distribution. So far there has been little to no impact of the New Moon Perigee on seismic patterns except a modest increase in frequency seems to have begun during the past 24 hours. Apparently we are past the Perihelion zone and seismic danger appears to be diminishing rapidly at the moment despite the syzygy.

Volcanic activity is at virtually the same count as the past three weeks, SWVC reports 5 on the restless list, 61 on alert status, and 21 on the active list. Most of the active volcanoes are indeed active, no report is more than three days old and most are as of today, all report ash and gas, and some are still oozing lava. Popo cooked up 20 puffs during the past 24 hours, the Goddess still weeps her red tears at Kilauea, but Etna, though still considered actice, is too clouded up far anyone to see what it is doing.

Carib plate volcanism still leads the world activity and the three on Kamchatka Peninsula are still mirroring St Helens with remarkable precision, all four are still cooking but just barely as of the moment.

In summary, world volcanism began a vigorous seasonal upsurge during early December but has been virtually on a flat line since the Earth’s wobble disappeared.

GEO-ECONOMIC VORTEX No change. All bears are more loaded than ever waiting to bag the fools. Conditions will continue to deteriorate through the year. The only surprise has been the remarkable durability of the Imperial Smoke and Mirrors Palace. They appear to have the mass media totally “bedazzled” by their puff and huff routines.

Meanwhile, you have noticed have you not how carefully the Cabal is managing the price inflation through the progressive roll up on the price of gasoline.

It is now obviously so well choreographed I doubt any of the primary numbers used in the economy are real. They are ALL now manipulated values designed to confuse. Just know the trend, the price of oil is being used to re-value the dollar. The rate of inflation now appears to be in the 20% range. It will only take another three years to destroy the “exuberance” in the real estate bubble through such heavy inflation, thus I think you can conclude that the bull money is all betting on this inflate.

GEO-PATHETIC POLITICAL VORTEX
The problem is China, Iran, and weird things the Zionists are doing in the Middle East. China and Iran are the main problems to the Imperial Hegemony mainly because they can precipitate a massive shift away from use and thus the value of the dollar. This will weaken the control of the Cabal over the dollar and thus the world economy. As things stand, the world is flowing inevitably in this direction. The main speculation in the world today is that Iran’s ability to leverage this shift will destroyed by an Imperial assault on Iran’s industrial infrastructure. A massive bombing campaign, in short. I agree that this is a clear and present danger. The consequences will be nothing less than the economic, military, and political destruction of both Israel and the U.S. during the next 20 years, perhaps portions of Europe as well.

Many people are hyperventilating about catastrophic military and political events coming during March of this year, or perhaps later, such as in June. I doubt any major actions during the next six months. The new government of Israel will be elected in March and it will take them several months to recover from the loss of Sharon and organize support for their next-wave strategy. Aside from this, it will take at least six months of manoevering on the U.S. Security Council to build a rationale for a destructive assault on Iran. As well, I strongly suspect that the U.S. Military wants to finish building up a large local Iraqi military force to have the manpower to attempt to block a potential massive assault on the ground from a million really pissed off Iranians (which will almost certainly be one of the main Iranian counter-offensives).

And then there are the elections in the U.S. Bush’s war rhetoric is no longer enough to maintain control of the government. They will want to hold their fire until after the elections at the end of 2006, attempting in the meantime to show their duped base that they can in fact hold a macho line and resolve problems with peace and strong diplomacy. They will devote their resources showing and conniving to show what a success they have made in Iraq. Through this means they will attempt to hold onto their control of government through massive programming and spending of money in the Mass Media for the 2006 elections in November. They would then stage their assaults during 2007 and force the completion of a massive militarization of the U.S. If they get that far to be in enough position of power…I think the good news is that this is all entirely too obvious now. We can see the Masters of War, we now know who they are and the games they are a-playing.

The Ultimate Secret of the Mayan Calendar
The Universal Role of Phi - reprint

David Wilcock
http://www.ascension2000.com

With the work of Dr. S. V. Smelyakov and Y. Karpenko on the Mayan calendar, we may well have the "smoking gun" to prove scientifically that a fundamental energetic change is occurring throughout our entire solar system at this time, fostering a crucial link between the sun, Earth and other planets and their effects on human consciousness. Since distant ancient times, these prophesied changes have been associated with the culmination of a 25,920-year master cycle known as "precession." In Shift of the Ages, we demonstrate how this cycle can be seen in the long-term activity of the sun as well as the rotation of Earth's axis. We also show how the Mayan calendar cycle, at 5,125 years, is exactly one-fifth of the precession.

John Major Jenkins has demonstrated that on December 21, 2012, the end-date for this cycle, the long-term "precessional" orientation of Earth's axis is perfectly aligned with the center of our galaxy. And now, Smelyakov et al. have added dramatic new evidence to the case in their paper "The Auric Time Scale and the Mayan Calendar." The article you are now reading is the first account of this groundbreaking study to be published worldwide, other than the paper itself, which has remained completely obscure to the Internet-based metaphysical culture at large. This is due to its degree of sophistication, making it almost indecipherable to those not educated in physics and mathematics.

Smelyakov's discovery is based on his earlier investigations of the ratio known as "phi" or the Golden Section and how it unifies and correlates the following phenomena:
* fundamental biological phenomena (cellular and physiological rhythms);
* cyclical events in botany (vegetative cycles, etc.);
* cycles in zoology (counts of livestock, number of fishes caught, etc.);
* meteorological (weather) cycles;
* the physics of the movements of the sun and Earth;
* the ebb and flow of human emotion as seen in financial market activities (Kondratiev cycle and others);
* historical events such as wars and population levels;
* cycles of criminal behavior;
* earthquakes and other natural disasters; and
* cycles of sudden variation in Carbon-14 radiation content in tree rings.

Those who have studied sacred geometry or read my books and/or others on the subject are well aware of the importance of the phi ratio, which has a value of 1.6180339. This ratio can be easily seen in the relationships between common "Diatonic" musical frequencies as well as the natural proportions of growing bacteria clusters, plant and animal life, and the human body.

When drawn geometrically, phi appears as the classic spiral shape that we so often see on seashells at the beach. Furthermore, the importance of phi was enshrined in many ancient structures throughout the world.

As a ratio, it perfectly balances the forces of expansion and contraction, which can be demonstrated geometrically or mathematically, and its connection to music shows that it is a fundamental characteristic of the behavior of vibration.

"The importance of phi was enshrined in many ancient structures throughout the world. As a ratio, it perfectly balances the forces of expansion and contraction, which can be demonstrated geometrically or mathematically, and its connection to music shows that it is a fundamental characteristic of the behavior of vibration."

Smelyakov and others assert that the vibrations of phi ripple through the very "fabric" of time and space, owing to its innate harmonic characteristics. In The Divine Cosmos, we explain how Russian scientists have determined that what we call "space" is not empty, but rather is filled with an energetic medium that Nikola Tesla suggested "behaves as a liquid to solid bodies, and as a solid to light and heat."

The mysteries of the universe, all the way from the "flat" formation of the known universe to the anomalies of galaxy formation, the structure and function of our solar system, and even the world of quantum physics, can all be unified in a single, coherent model once we reintroduce this medium, which the ancient Greeks referred to as "aether."

As detailed in our book Convergence III, many other mysteries of consciousness, life and "psychic" phenomena are explained by aether-based models as well, and the above list of phi-related cycles certainly adds to what the research has already determined.

Solar-planetary Synchronism

If we were to vibrate a fluid, we would see wavelengths appear with the simple phi relationship occurring between them. Similarly, the phi relationship can be observed in the cycles of our solar system. It appears that we have "ripples" of energy in our galaxy that we move through in set intervals of time which are based on phi and of which the Mayans were well aware, as we shall see.

Smelyakov has determined that the entire solar system operates in a unified, harmonic fashion that he terms "Solar-planetary Synchronism" (SPS), whose values are all related to each other by the phi ratio. This work allows us to predict the exact orbit of a hypothetical planet "Proserpine" past Pluto at 510.9 years in length, as well as unifying the movements of the Asteroid Belt and the various cycles of solar activity with all other known harmonics (orbits) in the solar system.

Furthermore, as noted, the same cycles can be shown to affect human life and economic trends. These connections between various celestial and terrestrial cycles are discovered by taking a basic time unit and then expanding or contracting it by various exponential powers of phi, where phi^0 is equal to 1, phi^1 is the classic ratio of 1.6180339, and phi^-1 is .618.

Overall, Smelyakov calls the various powers of phi the "Auric series," and assigns this series the letter F. Thus, F is a geometric progression as follows: F = {âââ€Å¡Ã‚¬Ãƒ‚¦phi^-2, phi^-1, phi^0, phi^1, phi^2, âââ€Å¡Ã‚¬Ãƒ‚¦}. This cycle potentially can expand infinitely in either the negative or positive direction.

To see Solar-planetary Synchronism in action, we begin by taking a given cycle in our solar system and assign it to the center of the Auric series at phi^0. An example would be to take one Earth year for this basic cycle. Doing so, we discover that phi^5 is 11.089, which is very close to the established value of 11.07 Earth years for the basic "sunspot cycle." This example shows us that the standard 11-year sunspot cycle is what Smelyakov would call the "fifth phi-harmonic" of Earth's orbit.

Obviously, most people would not expect any connection between these two cycles, since the sun and planets are supposedly "separate." In the new model, they are very much integrated by aether. This is but one of many examples that show how our solar system works as a miraculously unified system, but in mainstream physics models that exclude the existence of aether, these connections are left unseen or ignored.

Smelyakov explains that most of the "phi-harmonics" that can be found in the solar system are based either on Earth's orbit of one year or the basic Sunspot cycle of 11.07 years. Either of these cycles can be used as the central point on which to calculate the harmonics of phi. When this is done, Smelyakov states that by taking various powers of phi or various powers of 2 x phi from these "seed" cycles of time, we get "most known basic periods in Nature and society from biology to geology, including economical cycles."

Smelyakov's literally Earth-shaking discovery involving the Mayan calendar cycle was found by a process similar to the above, where a given time cycle with a given start date is divided into "a sequence of intervals [within it that have a] duration decreasing [by phi]." Here it is important to remember that the entire cycle decreases to a certain final moment at the end of the cycle. Even though the phi-based series F can theoretically extend infinitely in either direction, when you are dealing with a series that is exponentially decreasing in duration, the cycle does converge on one end-point, simply representing smaller and smaller intervals of time in that moment.

This would be the same as how the central point of the spiral on a seashell is theoretically infinite in its imploding "recursiveness," yet we nevertheless can clearly define the end of the seashell's spiral."

Smelyakov applied the 'Auric series' F to the Mayan Calendar cycle. By doing so, the infinitely-converging end-point clustered around December 21, 2012. Thus, we see that the imploding phi cycle has clear effects on celestial objects in interplanetary space and the behavior of lifeforms in time. This might explain why the Mayans stated that 'time would collapse' at the end of their calendar cycle."

Smelyakov then applied the "Auric series" F to the Mayan calendar cycle. By doing so, the infinitely-converging end-point clustered around December 21, 2012. Thus, we see that the imploding phi cycle has clear effects on celestial objects in interplanetary space and the behavior of lifeforms in time. This might explain why the Mayans stated that "time would collapse" at the end of their calendar cycle.

These connections have previously been intuitively suggested and explored by the late Terence McKenna in the "Timewave Zero" model, but there is still controversy over whether his discoveries are scientifically sound. With Smelyakov's additions, any remaining mystery is cleared away and a far more discrete, verifiable model is introduced to support the basic premise of an "imploding cycle" centering around 2012-13.

As mentioned, typically Smelyakov would take the value of Earth's orbit at one year or the value of the sunspot cycle at 11.07 years then plug it into the center of the Auric series [phi^0] to locate other cycles.

With the Mayan calendar, the same process was performed, except that the total length of the Mayan calendar at 5,125.3661 years was used as the central time unit for the Auric series, and the various "harmonics" of phi, in years, were then calculated. The commonly-agreed start time of August 6-13, 3113 BC was used as the origin of the cycle. Smelyakov found "abrupt world-wide changes" at each of the cycle hit-points that were determined by this system. The categories Smelyakov correlated to the Auric series are:

* Global natural cataclysms [on Earth] and phenomena in space [supernovas of nearby stars within our own galaxy];
* The coming of great teachers of humanity, as well as outstanding philosophers and scientists;
* The origins of calendars (as systems for measuring time/space);
* Demographic trends (specified by the population of China as an indicator of world trends); and
* The formation and interaction of worldwide religious/philosophical systems and states.

Demographics

In order to give a complete background to his studies of history and show the overall ebb and flow of population levels and cultural centers, Smelyakov focuses on the population [demographic] statistics for China, since there is accurate census data that has remained unbroken for more than 2,000 years. He found that all of the most important demographic changes in China clustered precisely around the "hit points" as specified by the Auric Series of the Mayan calendar.

The overall phases of civilization as seen in the Auric cycle include four principle phenomena:
1. Prolonged processes of condensation of centers of civilization;
2. Relatively short periods of founding of new cultures in some of these centers;
3. Violent flourishing and expansion of the new cultures separated from their "parents"; and
4. Rapid and unexpected decay and contraction or disappearance of the "parent" civilizations.

Since these effects are already well established, we can indeed expect a lot of global surprises in socio-political arenas in the next few years. Two "bifurcation points" of extreme change in 2003 and 2008 were established from ''studies of more local cycles of planetary movement as well as the statistically-estimated timing of the most significant population changes in China."

There is no doubt that dramatic changes have already come into view since the publication of Smelyakov's work in 1999. The accuracy of his predictions is further enhanced by the fact that in December, 2000, he correctly pinpointed the September 11 date (within a ten-day window surrounding September 16) as an "extremely dangerous" time for humanity, associated with airplane or other crashes, economic failures, and warfare. Even the nations involved in the problem, including the USA, Israel and Afghanistan, were included in his prediction, which was mentioned in The Mountain Astrologer magazine.

PAO offers a Galactic Calendar to help us learn about flowing with the cycles of time instead of just measuring time in a linear fashion. We are currently out of this year's calendar. The new galactic/mayan year begins July 26, 2006. We will be offering the new year's calendar in June, 2006.

Mark your calendars for June 1 to check our website for the new calendar. Thanks!

NOTES
My Life Is My Sun DancePrison Writings of LEONARD PELTIER

Silence, they say, is the voice of complicity.
But silence is impossible.
Silence screams.
Silence is a message,
Just as doing nothing is an act.

Let who you are ring out and resonate
in every word and every deed.
Yes, become who you are.
There's no sidestepping your own being
or your own responsibility
.What you do is who you are.
You are your own comeuppance.
You become your own message.
You are the message.

May the Great Spirit Make Sunrise in Your Heart . . .

Hoka Hey!

Have You Thought of Leonard Peltier Lately?
White Buffalo Teachings by Arvol Looking Horse

Over the past few years I have given readings/lectures on the Dreamkeepers and the Wisdomkeepers at Harvard, Columbia, CalTech, USC, the University of South Dakota (Vermillion), Briarcliffe College (Sioux City, IA), etc etc etc

I've given readings from Leonard Peltier s PRISON WRITINGS: MY LIFE IS MY SUN DANCE and Mathew King s book NOBLE RED MAN to audiences in schools, churches, museums, private homes, coffee shops, public auditoriums and theaters in New York, Toronto, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Boston, New Orleans, Washington DC, Cape Cod, Western Massachusetts, New Hampshire etc.and scores of smaller towns. I've also given scores of readings at Borders and Barnes & Noble (and many, many other) bookstores across the country; I've been interviewed on NPR (national "Public Interest" show, twice), also on many many other radio stations. I was for 23 years a staff writer at National Geographic Magazine.

A play of mine on Leonard Peltier, already performed at USD, is in the early stages of a professional production. My books have been translated into French, Spanish, German, Italian, Dutch, Swedish, and Japanese..with Greek and Swedish in the works.

Anyway, I'm willing to put my old body on the line anytime it's needed for the Cause, but I can often be of more of use here at my basement-study PC, since I plug into lots of places in the Indian and international indigenous worlds, though I'm a white guy myself. Lot's of people know me and, hopefully, trust me. You can check me out ad nauseum with a Google search on my name. (someone told me a few weeks or so ago she found 22,000 entries on me with a few simple searches)

I still spend lots of time working for and with Leonard Peltier. I ve visited Leonard half a dozen times at Leavenworth. Also I have a few novels, plays, screenplays and other nonfiction books that I'm trying to give birth to lest they be, alas, stillborn. Like Mat King used to say, "You're not too bad for a white guy, Harvey. You're lucky. Tunkashila has a job for you to do and you're going to do it!" Regarding why I, a white guy, am so involved in the indigenous world, I subscribe to the philosophy expressed in this statement by Australian Aboriginal Elder Lilla Watson: "If you've come here to help me, you're wasting your time.But if you've come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together."

This CD is riveting... I could not move.

Reviewer: barbara

The musicians, Leonard and Harveys spoken words along with the music, are so powerful I could not move until the CD was over. Heart wrenching
My heart soars when I listen to it

Reviewer: Doug DraimeWhen I listen to it my heart is broken and my heart is enraged, and my heart soars. Every man and woman and child should be exposed to it. It is outrages what has happened to Leonard and we must all stand up and say, no more, no more ..
A must have for any ethical person. Tino pai!

Reviewer: Jon PawsonThe words of this CD resonate with anguish and pain, yet a staunch resolve remains. We hear Leonard's experiences through Harvey's voice, a powerful performance. This CD should be with every conscientious supporter of justice in every land on this earth. Ka mau te wehi, e hoa ma! (Awesome, my friends)
incredible insight from a political warrior, thank you for your continous teachi

Reviewer: HaidaMaidenI listened to the CD over and over. The message is so powerful; I send prayers out to all spiritual warriors that have served unnessary time in prison.

Reviewer: Geri TimmonsAbsolutely loved the CD and the way it brings Leonard's words to life. I intend to send the CD to our irish republican political prisoner's in Ireland. We are not in this struggle alone. Ta an la ag teact (our day is coming)

The Ripples are Reaching Out!Reviewer: RishaI sat and listened to this in my room, a few candles flickering in the darkness and I could FEEL the pain, the loneliness and the emptiness of Mr Peltier as his powerful words reached into my mind and painted many disturbing and despairing images, they reached in and touched my heart and I felt so sad, yet I could also feel such strength and dignity. That amazed me. I don't think there are many people who would be able to stay as strong and not lose their dignity under such a disgusting and disgaceful injustice forced upon them! I am here in England and like a pebble dropped in the water the ripples are reaching out to other lands and other people who also fight in their own way for Mr Peltier... and the injustices of the American Indian Peoples.

heart rendingReviewer: Peg ShrinerHaving read the book and other writings about Mr. Peltier including "In The Spirit Of Crazy Horse" by Peter Mathiasson. Harvey brings Mr. Peltiers feeings to light in a vocal way, to where we can not only read the words but FEEL the heart of this great man. I honor him and will continue to fight for his freedom in anyway that I can. He will not be forgotten by this simple woman. Walk in TRUTH, HONOR and BEAUTY with PEACE LOVE and LIGHT always
It held my heart from beginning to end thought of all the incarcerated bros and

Reviewer: ShellyI think the CD is a wake up call to our spirits and our humanity. Harvey reading Leonard's words spoke to me those inside prison are our brothers,sisters our family. It's not ok to forget infact its our responsibility to remember them. This CD will keep me mindful of that and I will carry Brother Leonards words everyday for the rest of my life. shelly

This is an important CD

Reviewer: Come Again MoonHow can we rate this CD, it is like trying to rate the experience of the heart beat of GrandMother Earth. This album is important. I agree with the good people, here. Leonard invites you into his cell, with the care and grace of a loving, holy spirit and Harvey Arden's riviting, naration carries us through the journey of Leonard's Sun Dance as we are all, accompanied to new levels of understanding, by Rev. Goat and the New Orleans Light. Ording more than one copy of this CD, really is, a good idea and Little Eagle, Thank you for the excellent suggestion. One of my copies will be given to my Congressperson. Mitakye Oyasin Moon
This CD rocks!

Reviewer: carol j.It made me feel as though I were sitting in the cell with Leonard and listening to his every word. The whole cd bears witness to what needs to be done! FREE LEONARD PELTIER!
Great stuff - is Leonard getting any help from the proceeds?

Reviewer: Tim - BlueGreenEarth.comGreat stuff - I sincerely hope that Leonard's campaign will benefit from sales. If so, can it be made clear on this page? More will buy if it does...! BTW, if Leonard sees this review - please feel frr to send us any new alerts/messages/articles you want published, as in the past... Good Luck Tim

i feel the painReviewer: Ivyhey i get this site sent to my inbox, would love to hear mre about leonard peltier, as a ntive i love to hear about my people...take care leonard iam behind you all the way..((((HUGS))))

Very Impressive Work

Reviewer: Little Eagle - Earth Citizenhsip NetworkVery impressive work. It will take the listener to a place where most of us will never be but all of us are all familiar with. The place is Leavenworth, Kansas the residence of a Native American and Earth Citizen political prisoner by the name of Leonard Peltier. The spoken words you will hear is from Leonard's personal story and it will ring to your heart, go ahead and buy it. In fact, buy one for a friend and send another to a politician. Free Leonard Peltier!
Sure I felt compassion, I felt anger again for the FBI

Reviewer: Llye K'angSure, I felt compassion but at the same time, I felt anger again for the FBI, there arrogance and unbelievable ignorant ways. "If I can get away with it-why not", kind of attitude. You know what I mean...

Being ThereReviewer: barbaraI can feel myself in that cell with Leonard listening to this CD....
Demand Freedom for Leonard NOW!

Reviewer: John at CD BabyThe powerful words of Leonard Peltier are not to be ignored. This one man has done more to promote Human Rights while unjustly held within prison walls than most of us can ever hope to do outside of them. This CD is a compelling reading of Leonards own words, read by the man (Harvey Arden) who helped him get those words out to the world. A must have for anyone who cares for the future of the generations yet to come and the realities of a man currently being denied freedom due to a gross miscarriage of justice.

The never-ending perspective on the worst "natural" disaster to hit
North Amrica -- A real gold mine below

Understanding Katrina: Perspectives from the Social Sciences

As analyses and "spin" of the Katrina crisis grow, we confront the sort of public issue to which a social science response is urgently needed. Accordingly, the SSRC has organized this forum addressing the implications of the tragedy that extend beyond "natural disaster," "engineering failures," "cronyism" or other categories of interpretation that do not directly examine the underlying issues—political, social and economic—laid bare by the events surrounding Katrina. Essays on this site explore a number of subjects related to:

  • Structures of vulnerability, including the race, class, gender, and age of those suffering most
  • Political projects that have distorted the pursuit of "homeland security"
  • Bias that has sent federal resources disproportionately to rural areas and suburbs rather than cities
  • Media coverage of the disaster
  • Response from the American public
  • Philanthropic and charitable responses
  • The physical infrastructure on which cities depend (and its vulnerabilities)
  • The implications of the Iraq War
  • Problems of oil dependency and related infrastructures
  • Environmental policy and global warming, wetlands management, etc.
  • Costs of “privatization” and cuts in government capacity
  • Leadership at every level
  • Law enforcement and public order
  • Predicting "emergencies" and responding to predictions
  • The economic implications of catastrophic events
  • Comparisons: to the recent Asian tsunami, to 9/11 in New York, to earlier hurricane disasters in the U.S., etc
