ADMINISTRATIVE NOTES ... and  "stuff"

Had been wondering if, newsletterwise, the balance overall was sliding into the dark side.  So I called up some folks to seek their opinion.  Some of it stemmed from the 10 or so days after writing the last newsletter, bringing up more lies, scams and ugly manipulations around us than usual.  The world looked ugly.  With the underwearbomber hoax and vaccine hoax and global warming scam and all that ilk.  It got to me.  Diagnosis:  Too much geopolitics.

Realization!  I neglected to follow the advice I gave to everyone else!  Which I wrote about in that issue!  You remember, this part?:

Oh yeah, there is a lot of nasty stuff going on and its going to get worse.  Before it gets better.
      Is there more nasty stuff now, than before?
            Nope.
                    Then what is happening?

THAT:  There have always been people whose actions, thoughts and words are harmful.  A difference at this time, even more than 10 years ago, is that we have more information, more resources  and more access to those resources and information.

THAT: This 'happening' is a crucial difference:   That we are on the cusp of the Aquarian Age.  Remember that?  The sign of the Aquarian Age is the Water Bearer.  The Androgynous Water Bearer is holding the Urn of Water and pouring it out.  Some of the water has been poured out already, making the flow faster for the remainder.  The water represents the Unconscious, what is Hidden.   You can no longer keep secrets, especially those deep dark secrets.  The Unconscious is becoming Conscious.  Faster and Faster and Faster and Faster.
     The volume, speed and intensity of the flow is increasing, sucking up stuff long buried down deep.
THAT:  We were told that the future for us is going to be tough.  And, it is getting tougher with more restrictive legislation -- legislation that many of us can clearly see has been promulgated -- not for the betterment of its citizenry, but clearly to allow certain groups to control and manipulate others and to gain income, property and material wealth.  This will continue.  It will continue until more people can see what is happening and agree to stop it.  We can stop it, you know.

What do we do?  We are each a thread of the fabric of humanity.  It is our shared agreement that keeps the fabric whole.  Again, this is the cusp of the Aquarian Age, the Age of  Humanity, where we are not focused on a charismatic leader, but on Humanity.   It is the amalgamation of the thoughts and actions and frequency of each person that makes the difference.  What happens is up to each one of us.

You read a lot of these types of reports in our issues, bringing up and out some of the uglier sides of individuals and groups.  Do we want to see this?  Not particularly,  however it is needful.
BECAUSE!   It is happening.
BECAUSE!   It has been going on for a very long time and we either did not know about it or could not do anything about it or find out the source.
BECAUSE!   THIS!  NOW!   It is CLEAN UP and CLEAN OUT time!

It is as if you had a big ugly pus filled festering boil for eons, that has been growing and taking nutrition from your body.  FINALLY!  Along comes the Boil Breaker.  'All' that is needed is to lance the boil.  The wound finally drains, is brought into the light, and heals.  We have boils here, all over the place.  Some have been lanced and are spewing, some are healing, most are still festering.

From Helke: Corruption, stupidity and greed are best viewed as dispassionately as one views household chores. Don’t get mad. Don’t get depressed. Just help clean up the mess. Forming the habit of calmly resisting the chaos that keeps sneaking up on us ensures a balance is maintained between the forces of darkness and creative humanity."  . . .

YES!  That's right!  It is SUPPOSED to get harder and uglier now -- and that is EXACTLY what has been happening.  I forgot!

And as one of you wisely counseled me last week:   We are seeing more of this, talking and writing about more of this because although it has always been taking place, we have not been able to see it as clearly as we are now.  And it has to come out.   So we can get it out so we can clean it up.
Events compounded themselves to a point where I was feeling badly because I thought I was not doing my job properly, as I have not been able to do as much has I have in the past.  Geez, could it be because there are more people, events?  And have actually been doing more in my personal life for a change?  oh yah, forgot about all that!

You may have noticed that some things have not been taken care of as previously.  Details will not be included, at this time.  We began in 2000.  After 10 years of production, a bit of a breather could benefit all of us.  It does not mean a break or an end, it means a breather.  So I'm going to cut myself some slack, to hopefully do some catch up, clean up, internal reorganization.  A cleanse, maybe?  It may or may not be obvious to you.

Part of this MIGHT be -- there MIGHT not be a March or an April meeting.  Right now, they have not been planned and I'm kind of leaning towards no March meeting -- which would be easiest -- since -- we always participate in the Total Health Show and with a meeting that month the work load is like TWO meetings in a month, which is a lot.

So I can not tell you, at this moment, when the next newsletter will come out.

WHICH IS ONE REASON WHY!!   You will see the write up for Dr. Robert J. Gilbert's May 2010 visit written up in this issue the way it was.  GET READY!

There is so much I want to do, so much I can do, so many plans, possibilities, many of them still in my head.   We have fabulous members, friends, connections and a pretty good reputation.   We have a fabulous group, filled with potential(s), filled with actual skills and abilities and accomplishments.  Intelligence.  Passion, caring.   As much as I grumble about stuff when I get crabby, it astonishes me to see the number of people who come to meetings, making that effort, travelling during rush hour to learn, to better yourselves because you care about making the world a better place, doing what you can for your loved ones, your community and yourself.  You are is truly commendable.   I have certain ideas in mind which I will not express unless they have come to a certain point in their planning and, it would be so good to find out:

What do you want?  What benefits you?  Who or what or what subject do you want to know about?  What is it from anything we do that benefits you?  What doesn't interest you so much?  What do you want more of, less of?

For us ... some more volunteers would be nice ...  a place for a library ... a room stretcher for me ... a scrumptious meal tray left outside my door every day (HA HA!!!!)


PROBABLE   BUT   NOT   DEFINITIVELY   SCHEDULED:

   DR. KARIM VIDEO:   At our January meeting we saw about the first 35% of Dr. Karim's workshop.  You entreated for the whole shebang.  Of course!  So we will most probably have it some Saturday, but it has not yet been scheduled.   Please stay tuned to our web site to see when and where this will take place.  Not for several weeks at least.  If you want to be absolutely sure you do not miss it, contact me and I shall endeavor to create a list of names and even to keep track of it!

   EMF, Electricity Workshop:   We are planning a one day workshop on EMFs, which could take place any time within the next 2 months.   Topics should include:
*Understanding EMFs
*The Four Components of Human Made EMF:
   - Electric Fields
   - Magnetic Fields
   - Radio Frequency Radiation
   - Dirty Electricity
*The Health Effects of EMF Pollution
*The Science of Measuring EMFs
*Commonly used EMF Meters and Detectors
      Again, do let me know if this may be of interest to you.

PLEASE NOTE:  It can be dangerous to your continued health, safety and well being and to the high regard in which I hold you if you attempt to telephone me earlier than 10 am or later than 9 pm.  Any day.  Thank you.

WHAT WAS

VICTORY !

January 21, 2010, around 12:05 pm, over a hundred happy healthy people, including several Toronto Dowsers --  exhibited wide grins as Durham's Dairy Desperado Michael Schmidt exited courtroom T2 at the Ontario Court of Justice in Newmarket, Ontario to announce to us that Michael Schmidt has been exonerated of all charges !!!!!!!!!!

January 21st, 2010 the arrangement known as “cowsharing” was pronounced ‘not unlawful’ by Justice of the Peace Paul Kowarski, in the case of Regina versus Michael Schmidt: files #4960-3084-3089/07 and 3270-3271/07 Ontario Court of Justice at Newmarket Ontario.

A chill morning, over 3 years earlier, November 26, 2006, before dawn, over 2 dozen armed agents from the Ministry of Natural Resources swooped down en masse and raided Michael Schmidt's dairy farm imprisoning Michael, his family, dairy maids, employees, cows and equipment for several hours, removed what they could and charged Michael with numerous offenses including operating an unlicensed dairy.

Since 1938 Canada's laws require that all cow and goat milk be pasteurized.  Unless you own the cow or the goat.  But thousands, today, demand real milk for its superior health and taste benefits.   So in 1994 Michael started a cow share operation where if you bought a share in a cow you were entitled to have some of its milk, since you were now a cow owner.
        The MNR did not like it, they did not like that consumers were making private contracts with a farmer so they trumped up these charges against him.

For the last 3+ years, despite further nasty, underhanded and immature harassment by several governmental groups, Michael, a high profile well connected extremely intelligent articulate communicative and educated BioDynamic farmer, orchestra conductor, agriculturist and more, led a very public and well organized campaign against these scurrilous charges.

After 3 years of legal wranglings and thousands of dollars later, the verdict was to be read that day, January 21st.  It took the judge almost 3 hours to read his 40 page decision.  Michael greatly appreciated the work of this judge and commented that he certainly did his homework.  He said that the judge explained how he arrived at his decision from the very beginning and that "this case law can be applied to many segments.   The court actually preserves and opens up a niche that we are all longing for ... What Canada should be. ... We pried open the door for individual rights in this country."
    He complimented the work of the judge several times, telling us that his decision, and the way he worded it, opened things up for individual rights regarding food choice.
DISCONNECT!
Do you know how it is when you do not listen to what you are saying?
Michelle Brunoro, a CTV TV reporter tells her audience:

  Lovers of unpasteurized milk say its delicious and natural.
  Some even travel hundreds of kilometers to buy it.
  But health officials (in the Fraser Valley, BC) say the product is unsafe and they are warning the public to stay away.  But not everybody is listening
  Dr. Perry Kendall,  Provincial  Health  Officer, says: "We are treating this food product as we would treat any contaminated food product."
Michelle Brunoro says:  "People who want raw milk will go to great lengths to get it, coming to this farm in Chilliwack from as far away as Whistler"  (223 km - almost 3 hours)

On one hand they report hundreds, if not thousands of people actively clamoring for this product, proving its safety and lack of harm.  On the other hand, there are a few -- just a few -- health "officials" who claim it is not safe.  Helllooo??  is anyone home?   Thousands of citizens on one side vs. a few middle level bureaucrats stuck in the depression era?  Don't more people clearly see how ludicrous this is?  And how shameful the fuss?

Affects Thus Far:

  • Raw milk cow shares have been ruled legal
  • “We are disappointed in the court’s ruling,” says Brent Ross, spokesperson for the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. “The government will review the court’s decision and determine the next steps.”
  • A Toronto Star Editorial says the Crown should appeal this.
  • The opens up and eases the ability for consumers to make private contracts with farmers.
  • Small, dedicated, back to the land and young farmers might get interested in farming again.  These farmers are interested in healthy soil, sustainable and organic practices.
  • And:   In the Decision, in the Overview, the Justice makes 2 points that no governmental official has made during this whole process -- points which open up the soldered shut door to take another look at the pros and cons of pasteurized vs. non pasteurized milk.  The majority of legislators, etc., have adamantly, boorishly in fact refused to even allow this question to be asked.   This Justice writes:

    9. Do all the people of Ontario still require this protection seven decades later in light of technical advances throughout the world in milk farming and agriculture? This is not my decision to make; rather it is the decision of the Legislature.

    10. Is it my task to rule on the comparative health risks and hazards related to the consumption of unpasteurized milk and milk products as opposed to pasteurized milk and milk products? The answer, of course, is negative. That is not my role as the presiding justice. Is the prohibition against selling and distributing raw milk fair and just legislation? I have no authority to pronounce on this.

    No one not one governmental representative, in all this time, aside from MPP Bill Murchoch, even permitted this question to be raised!
    WHY THIS SITUATION IS CRUCIAL FOR US

    The whole time, it has been about an issue that is much much much greater than our ability to drink whatever kind of milk we want.  It's about all of our freedoms.  All of our freedoms to choose especially our freedoms to choose the kind of food we want to eat.

    Control the food, you control the population.  This is obvious.  New World Order types have been purposefully attempting to destabilize and weaken our food supply for about the last 50 years.

     They have been doing this with:  beef: Mad Cow    Fowl: Avian Flu (such as killing ALL the poultry in Hong Kong), pasteurizing milk, pasteurizing spinach and almonds.  Polluting our drinking water, supporting coke, pepsi, aspartame, fluoridation, microwaves, artificial ingredients, irradiation, preservatives, GMOs and more --- all Designed to devitalize our food.  And putting so many regulations on fresh and fresh and natural food and purveyors that it just doesn't pay to go out of one's way to offer healthy food, food products, food stuffs, etc.,  for sale and people give up and give in.

    "Stay out of our bedrooms, our stomachs and our refrigerators."

    Our January 2010 meeting:
    Video Presentation of a Dr. Ibrahim Karim BioGeometry workshop:   2 of 5 hours

     A nice relaxing albeit mentally stimulating way to begin the new year.  Comfortably watch a video presentation of Dr. Karim's 2002 workshop in Clearwater, Florida.  The action was slow for about the first 20 minutes, almost as if he was warming up, and then, little by little, like bubble pop popping, one by one people were on the edge of their seats, bug eyed, wide eared --- straining to catch, to breathe in and hold hold hold the wisdom that Ibrahim was speaking so effortlessly and as if by a miracle.

    Because, truly, once Ibrahim got rocking and rolling we wanted to hear it all, and more.  He was great.  But we had to stop after 2 hours as it was getting late.

    Uh oh:  While the vid was rolling I was taking notes.  And I can not find my note pad containing some of the more brilliant of his brilliant teachings so that part shall have to wait for another issue.  It shall come, despair not.
     

    As those notes are not available, here is a worthwhile substitute for you in the meantime:

    Gold and Pearls from Ibrahim

    A JOKE!!!:::  Ibrahim's humour and brilliance:  Angi and I were talking about one of the primary objectives (for Ibrahim) at his talk to us October 2009:  The FACT that what is important about a sacred spot is NOT the building, NOT the material, but:  THE PLACE.  Where it is.
         Out of our discussion came a joke.  I don't make jokes often, so the times I do, I have to tell everyone.   I sent Ibrahim the joke and he sent me one back -- its a joke but not a joke and has such beauty and depth and elegance.  And has to be shared --- with you!  Here is our witty repartee:


    M's Question:  What do the Ancient Egyptians and realtors have in common?
    Answer:    Location  Location  Location!

    I's Question: What are their differences?
    Answer:    One looked for the invisible location while the other looked for the visible one  :-)

    Next:
         Paramahansa Yogananda, probably the most influential yogi from India to come to and influence the west and founder of  Self-Realization Fellowship, died in 1952 in Los Angeles.   Even 3 weeks after death, the body was in a perfectly "immutable" condition, without having decomposed, and was placed in a crypt in Forest Lawn Cemetery.  (Yogananda did not exactly die, as we conceive of it -- rather, he consciously left his body.)

         I was thinking about this when I first took the BioGeometry Foundational Training and thought that I figured out why this happens and that very few -- if any -- westerners without exposure to eastern spirituality can comprehend this.

          Dr. Ibrahim Karim teaches us that there are 3 spiritual energies that comprise the BioGeometry Three:  The energetic and spiritual qualities of the Higher Harmonic of Gold, Higher Harmonic of Ultra-Violet, and Horizontal band of Negative Green (H-G)).   Based on the properties of  H-G that I was becoming familiar with, I hypothesized that spiritual masters knew how to utilize these energies when they wished to and that Yogananda did so when he left his body.   The Ancient Egyptians knew how to use these energies as well.  Such as the properties of H-G can preserve non living flesh.
           Curious if this were accurate, I shared my hypothesis with Ibrahim.  And:

    FABULOUS   FEEDBACKs
    I Ping, Hypno Healing, Aluminum, Mineral Water, Global Warming, H1N1

    Feedback is amazingly important.  It can let someone know what they are doing right, and/or when they are off course.  I love feedback.  For example, if I offer information about a service, product, etc., and find out 15 people have inquired / used it -- that tells me something.  It tells me that this is an area of interest to YOU and it would behoove me to do more.  If I find out you liked it, that's another barometer.  If I find out you did not, it could be you like the concept but that particular therapist might not be suitable for us.

    Furthermore, it just feels good to get feedback, especially when I spend hours researching something or someone.  This applies to meetings, newsletters, emails, anything and everything.   I really want to know how people feel about things to know what it is that works and what it is that may not be so relevant.   Your feedback serves as my rudder.

    Like everyone else, the times I do a good job, I like to hear about it.  The survey that made the biggest impression on me -- ever -- was when employees were asked what they most wanted from their bosses.  Do you think it was:  money?  more time off?  appreciation?  Nope.  Acknowledgment.

    From:  Luisa Giacometti    27 Jan 2010 :
        " Hi Marilyn - just wanted to tell you that the two people that I tried  as a result of your last newsletter are great - Debbie Papadakis, from HypnoHealing ---  you attended the evening workshop she gave that I went to -- again, as a result of your (January) newsletter, and, I-Ping Wong, for Thai massage - I have  had this type of massage done by others but I-Ping is a master and  such a lovely person.  Thanks for the leads!"

      LUISA!   I thank YOU! - Marilyn -

    From last month:
    Aluminum and Mineral Water:    Several times have mentioned a preference for Mineral Water (carbonated).  One of you said that you believe Mineral Water has a higher than it ought to amount of Aluminum.  Perhaps that is why Aajonus Vonderplanitz suggested that one only consume Naturally carbonated mineral water?  So I went to Starsky's in Mississauga and purchased a great selection!  Do you know Starsky's?  WOW!  WHAT a store!   Alicja Aratyn introduced me to Starsky's.  Fabulous fabulous Polish supermarket.  Especially fresh and good quality meats, pastries, prepared foods, smoked fish, fine condiments, fine European selections, lots more.   One at 2040 Dundas East and one at 3115 Dundas West.  Both huge locations.
         A couple new reports are saying that Aluminum is more toxic than mercury.  Right now, I don't know.

    Global Warming Scam:  As much of the previously reported definitive data has been re reported as being highly flawed:
    (1)   One reader, without being specific, said she disagreed with my comments on Global Warming. Although she did send along links to articles reporting that the oceans and the biological life in them were suffering due to an over abundance of CO2 and a reduction of oxygen content in the oceans.
            Unfortunately, this is accurate and extremely troublesome.   There are also numerous reports where acres of  garbage float on top of the ocean in many locations.  And the damage that navy sonar is doing to dolphins and whales.  Our oceans are being attacked in numerous ways.  It is ironic that Carbon Dioxide ends up smothering oceans while it is the food for plant photosynthesis to create Oxygen!

    Example:  There is a new continent in the Pacific Ocean.  Actually it has been forming for years. It was documented in the 1950's.  Some report that by now it is estimated to be about twice the size of Texas . And growing. The Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch, a massive gyre of plastic bags, bottles and other litter is one, about 1,000 miles from land.  It seems Mr. McGuire's advice has become a boondoggle.  (Mr. McGuire told Dustin Hoffman's character, Ben Braddock, in "The Graduate":  "One word.  Plastics.")
    (2)   Pressure on UN Climate Chief Rajendra Pachauri increase as investigators uncover more evidence that the program administrator may have used "mistakes" printed in the IPCC report for personal gain.    The London Times reported that Pachauri's foundation, The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), was awarded well over $500,000 in the last month alone based on a grant application that specifically referred to the erroneous Himalayan claim in the IPCC report he oversaw. In addition to the $500,000 awarded by the US Carnegie corporation, the same claim was also used on a $4 million grant application awarded by the the British Government last year to "assess the impact of Himalayan glacier retreat".

    (3)  Good News for Himalayan Glaciers – Bad News for the IPCC:    The good news (if fleeting) is that Himalayan Glaciers, while retreating like most glaciers across the globe, will still be intact in 2035.   The bad news is that what can only be described as an egregious error asserted that they would be gone by 2035 made it into Working Group II's report.


    LINK:  100 reasons why climate change is natural and not man-made

     
    H1N1:  It does not matter:  Although there a lot of fumbling and bumbling and wildly misreported "facts" were thrown around like rice at a wedding over this great pandemic, it does not matter.  Goals were reached.  Goals such as:
    * Millions of people were vaccinated
    * Health Departments learned more about how the public reacts and who is reacting
    * People became more habituated to looking to government for health news, protection and solution.  Ugh.
  • The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, a 47 nation body encompassing democratically elected members of parliament, has begun hearings to investigate whether the H1N1 swine flu pandemic was falsified or exaggerated in an attempt to profit from vaccine sales.
  • The first week in January, several New York State media outlets reported that "Truckloads of swine flu vaccines are being returned by counties that say the expected demand for the shots never happened."
  • November 25th, 2009: A batch of 170,000 doses of H1N1 vaccine manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline PLC has been placed on hold in Canada after reports surfaced of an unusually high number of severe allergic reactions to the swine flu vaccine.
  • December 15, 2009:  ATLANTA:  800,000 Doses of Children's H1N1 swine flu Vaccine shots for children manufactured by French drug company Sanofi Pasteur have been recalled
  •  Dec 23, 2009, CHICAGO (Reuters) - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said AstraZeneca's MedImmune unit is voluntarily recalling some of its H1N1 swine flu vaccine, ...  the recall involves a total of 4.7 million doses of the company's nasal spray vaccine.
  • As with the H1N1 vaccine, many governments have spent millions to stockpile Tamiflu, bracing for the ravages of H1N1.  Two days later, Reuters Health reported this: "The World Health Organization on Friday endorsed findings that there is no clear evidence that the antiviral Tamiflu prevents complications such as pneumonia in otherwise healthy people with seasonal flu."
  • Did you read last month's newsletter?  And, as a Result:
    Did you read:  "the Captain and the Kings"?  "The Lost Symbol"?
    Did you think about heroes?  Do you have any?
    Did you check your tires to see how old they are?



    2012 is the end of the Mayan Calendar.  It is not that far away from us.    It is also supposed to coincide with a new age of higher consciousness, caring, compassion and understanding on a very large scale.   Based on what you think you know at this point, do you think that is going to take place?

    I am conjecturing that the shift that will change our consciousness will be from how we are now, in that -- our values, laws, viewpoints -- are all based on Physical Property.  Even people, in some jurisdictions are considered physical property, how much they are worth, who owns them and so on.  And the shift shall be that our value system is one that values Emotional and/or Spiritual Well being.  Or something like that. What do you think?

    WHY  WE  ARE  INSANE

    It is said that insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.  Here is another part of that picture:

    WHO ARE  YOUR / OUR  LEADERS?

    When we speak about our "Leaders" we generally mean -- yes? -- the Prime Minister, the US President and people at the top of the political piles.  Do you think Stephen Harper, Barack Obama, Dalton McGuinty, Joe Biden, Dick Cheney, Nancy Pelosi -- are they your leaders?   The head of .. um, can't say the head of GM any longer, or the head of Ford.  ok..  Let's see.    How about looking at companies?  Forbes reports that:  Bank of America, Microsoft, JPMorgan Chase, Johnson & Johnson, Procter & Gamble, Goldman Sachs Group, Morgan Stanley, Wachovia, AT&T, Merrill Lynch, Glaxo Smithkline, Marathon Oil, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, are in the top 20 of The 400 Best Big Companies.   Are the heads of those companies your leaders?  Bill Gates and his vaccine delivering mosquitos?  Putting Coca-Cola, Pepsi in schools?  The folks who bring us the [alleged] Swine Flu Vaccine?  The biggest of the big bankers?  Are they your leaders?  The head of the FDA?  Health Canada?   No?  If not them, then who?  WHO put the cookie in the cookie jar???

    The above folks are those who we generally think of when we think of "our leaders".  ARE  WE   NUTS?   Probably?  A little insane?  Probably.   When one is a leader it is supposed to connote respect and admiration.  We definitely have none for those bozos.

    What we need is a societal mental flush.

    I have been thinking about this question for a month.  So far, the only person I would consider to be a leader at this time is: Shiv Chopra.   Who would be on your list?



    From:  G. Edward Griffin,
    Author of  "The Creature from Jekyll Island", presenting on "The Quigley Formula".

     Prof. Caroll Quigley, who taught at Harvard and Clinton and Georgetown and influenced many future heavy duty political leaders, was also Bill Clinton's professor, and his mentor, 27 years before Clinton became President.   Quigley taught the Conspiratorial view of history and explained it as explained by the Conspirators themselves.  Quigley was very close to a secret society, invited into its inner circle and became its official historian.  And admired it.
    "Democracy.  It's a cherished American concept, and a very dangerous one.  I f you do not think it through.  It is being used against the American people and against people all over the world.  To their own detriment.  To put them in fact, in a condition of bondage.  A condition, in which, they elect their own dictators.  And feel happy about it.  Because they did it. To themselves."
    ON  "CONSPIRACY:   "When I mention the word "conspiracy", it causes a knee jerk reaction in most people.  "Oh, you believe in conSPIRacy???  A conspiracy theorist of some kind??"
          I'm not a conspiracy theorist and when people take that position I have to laugh.  They have obviously never read a history book.   Because anyone who knows anything about history knows that it is built on conspiracy.  Conspiracy is the engine of History.  Every major event, when you examine it, has come to pass largely as a result of at least one, and in many cases, many conspiracies.  And it goes on today.
          These people have never sat in a courtroom and have never listened to lawyers of corporations where men are tried on charges of Conspiracies.  Conspiracies in families.  Conspiracies from top to bottom.  Conspiracies are a fact of life.  For anyone to say that conspiracies are absurd or that there are conspiracy theorists, has a real problem.  I do not have this problem.  I know that conspiracies are real.
          We will be talking about a very real conspiracy and we will be talking about the people involved."

         'World events do not occur by accident. They are made to happen, whether it is to do with national issues or commerce; most of them are staged and managed by those who hold the purse string.'  (Denis Healey, former British Secretary of Defense.)



    UPCOMING

    HAPPY NEW YEAR!
    The Year of the Tiger
      February 14, 2010 - February 2, 2011 
    Element:  Metal
    Symbol:  Earthly Branch

    The Total Health Show comes to Toronto March 12, 13, 14.
    VISIT  THE  TORONTO  DOWSERS  BOOTH !!!

    We will be in the same location as we were last year -- make a sharp right after you get off the escalator, to us in the front middle of the room.

    The Total Health Show, sponsored by Consumer Health Association of Canada -- is probably the leading organization whose annual Show is the best place on this planet to find out what is really going on in health.   Interest in health today is, sadly, not just about Health.  That changed markedly around 1995 but it was not so obvious until this millennium.  No, its not just about health.   It is now the POLITICS of HEALTH.   I consider this show, this organization to be the most important on the planet today.   The Total Health Show provides a good balance between information you need to get and keep you healthy and the Politics of Health which is all too often, involved with those who want to keep you from becoming healthy.  And/Or to help them help themselves become wealthy -- at the expense of your health.

    Magda Havas and David Slater, who have been invited back for this year, originally came to the Total Health Show as a result of our recommendation.  This year, Gary Null has been invited as a result of my recommendation.  I have known about Gary for his fine health nutrition radio shows originating out of New York City, for over 20 years.  However, it was his extremely passionate and knowledgeable testimony before the New York State legislature concerning the harm caused by the flu vaccines, that brought him to my attention once again.

    Gary Null's books will be available at the Toronto Dowsers booth.

    Please attend.  Please support this organization as best you can.

    At the show this year, you will hear old favorites and additional very worthwhile new speakers.  The old favorites, while you may have heard them before, always have new information which is why they are invited back.  Please consider attending and listening to these fine speakers:

    Toronto Dowser!  Sabina DeVita, EdD, DNM:
    Anti-aging - Ascension and 2012 - Sat, 11:00 – 12:00:

    MAY 2010  ---  ROBERT GILBERT  vesica.org   RETURNS!
    Robert shall present to us at our May meeting:  May 11, 2010.
    He shall offer 2 workshops:  One for May 13-14 and for May 15-16.

    We have not yet finalized Course Content details or price at this time, however, here is a close approximation as to the areas that are being seriously considered so you can make your plans.

    It is likely that the title and subject of the May 11 presentation shall be:
    "Vibrational Testing and Corrections for Homes, Neighborhoods and Entire Cities."

    The 2 workshops shall allow for:  those who are familiar with his work and those who are new to it.

    WORKSHOP I:   For those who are new to the concepts and methods, it is likely that the workshop shall be on:  "Foundations of Vibrational Testing and Practical Applications", where you will learn the fundamentals of the Vibrational Spectrum and how to use together the methods of testing, such as:

    * Vibrational Effects on Human Beings (Beneficial-Detrimental  effects)
    * Analyze the Specific Vibrational Qualities of any Person, Place,  or Thing

    WORKSHOP II:    For those who have greater familiarity with the topics:   "Practical Methods For Vibrational Dowsers", where we can tie together vibrational corrections in a Home, Neighborhood or larger areas.
           There is a lot more to this, it also uses EM meters and a tool which can test on sub bands.  This method is referenced in the Kaballah and other places that discuss the 144 Life Energy Vibrations.

    If you think you will be interested in his workshops, please let me know.  I am endeavoring to create a list of those who are interested in this so that when we have the details settled, I can contact you asap.  Now, if I can only ascertain where I keep this list now, ....


    Happy 50 Year Anniversary ASD!
    the 50th ASD Convention shall take place June 9 - 14
    (this includes pre and post convention workshops)
    Lyndonville, Vermont
    www.dowsers.org

    Keynote speaker:  Jeffrey Mishlove 

    We are going back to JUNE and to  Lyndonville.  For the last 3 years, convention has taken place at 2 other locations.  The biggest 2 reasons for our return to Lyndonville are:  cost, and, the other locations lacked a central place for meals and a socializing gathering place.  Lyndonville's cafeteria provides this all important facility.  This week I spoke with Arvid Johnson, Operations Manager of the ASD for the last 4 years.   One of the reasons we moved away from Lyndonville is that the on campus college housing was way too spartan.  Since our last year there, they built a new dorm.  Apparently many reservations for this dorm have already been received!   Also, the closeness of the dorms, despite its lack of creature comfort, promotes camaraderie.  Programs and registration forms shall be available the end of February.

    4  in Peru !
    Right now, 4 !  Toronto Dowsers --- that I know of so far -- are in Peru, one for a period of 3 months.   Peru exploration, for our folks, started about 3 years ago.   India, Thailand, Indonesia, California, Hawaii, Egypt, Mexico and now Peru have attracted spiritual seeking travellers.   Why these places?  Why these places at those times?   Why Peru?  Why now?   Why not -- other places?   I do not know why, I am just asking the question and bringing it to your awareness, should this be of interest to you.

    Initially I thought it was because of Ayahuasca and the Ayahuasca shamanic healing retreats that are being conducted in Peru, but not all go to Peru for Ayahuasca.

    WHAZZUP?  On Eglinton Avenue

    Do you ever attempt to drive or take a bus going east on Eglinton Avenue, between say Don Mills Road and Warden Avenue between 4-6 weekdays?  Where an 8 minute ride becomes a 20 or 30 minute one?

    Our shortsighted transit planners now plan to increase the congestion.  They plan on creating an LRT (Light Rail Transit) from the Airport to Kennedy Station.  This is an above ground transit and would turn Eglinton Avenue into an intractable hodgepodge similar to the mess they made of St. Clair Avenue.  It acts as a conduit that pushes people from one end of town to the other.  It also assists in delivering people to the relatively new ugly big box store plazas that have sprung up on Eglinton East.  Part of the thinking is that more people will take transit instead of driving.  Good luck.  Yes, we need public transit from the airport.  But this is not the solution.  If they do go ahead with it

    YOUR HELP IS NEEDED

    A stop was planned right in front of the Latvian Centre, on that corner.  They reconfigured to have one on Wynford Drive and another on Bermondsey -- about half a kilometer in either direction.  It would be nicely convenient for us -- especially for cold weather evening meetings -- if the stop were to be right on "our" corner.

    The plans are not yet firm.  Please do consider contacting Toronto City Councillors on the  TTC Commission Board to ask them to put the stop on the corner of Eglinton Avenue and Credit Union Drive.  Because you and many people you know use the facilities at the Latvian Centre and you would use them more often and attend functions by TTC if you had an easier and safer means  to get there.  The following councillors are on the TTC Board:   Adam Giambrone, TTC Chair,  Joe Mihevc, Vice Chair,  Maria Augimeri,  Sandra Bussin,  Suzan Hall,  Peter Milczyn,  Ron Moeser,  Anthony Perruzza,  Bill Saundercook.    It would be most helpful if you know any of them, especially if you live in their ward.  THANK YOU!



    FOCUS ON HEALTH

    UPDATE ON MMS !!!

    MMS was extensively included in our newsletters from about September 2008-January 2009.  Not that there was any lack of interest afterward, rather what needed to be said was said.

    MMS a/k/a  Sodium Chlorite, when taken - very very carefully -- internally -- kills virtually every harmful pathogen.

    MMS II came out about 6 or so months ago.  It is supposed to be even more effective and safer and I know nothing about it other than that it is out there.  Now that you know about it, I am sure you can find this info out for yourself, and perhaps share it with us for the benefit of all.  Thank you!

    Dennis Richard is a colleague of  Jim Humble.  Jim brought us MMS.  Dennis writes about MMS and sells it.  I received a copy of one of Dennis' interviews recently and thought that the info on teeth is info you would want, so I transcribed some of it.  Yes, you can purchase MMS in Canada now, in Toronto.

    He is interviewing,  Dr. John Moore, a medical intuitive with an engineering background who 15 years working at the Boeing Company as an industrial engineer with a crew of 35 working for him at the Boeing complex in Renton, Washington, until he got hit hard by mercury poisoning.

    One of the best uses for MMS is for tooth problems -- as it is possibly the best substance you can use to eliminate oral infections, esp. cavitations and all those other places dentists don't know about or can't get to but actively destroy the mouth.  So here is some of what I transcribed:

    First, some of Dennis Richard: (5' 25" - 9:00)
    Q: I know that you know that you brush your teeth w MMS. What is the benefit?
    A:   It had been approximately one year since I've had my teeth cleaned and my teeth were very loose. I went to a dentist in the States to get them cleaned.    He said — "your teeth are so bad, we just need to pull them.  The gum disease, the infection, there is nothing we can do until we can get rid of all the teeth."  He is trying to push me into $30,000 worth of false teeth.  Well the teeth I had, I was fond of and not excited about his prospect.
          After 3 hours of this guy hardcasing me, I didn't even get my teeth cleaned.  I just got up and walked out of his office.
          About a week later I happened to be down in Mexico.  I met Jim Humble and he started me brushing and flossing with the MMS.  Within a few days my gums were no longer bleeding and the teeth in my gums started to harden up.  This dentist swore up and down that I'd be toothless in 6 months.  That was 3 years ago.  I have not lost one tooth since.

       When I started to floss it was frustrating. Because I'd use a flossing fork.  I'd have to restring that fork 3-4 times every morning and every night.  Because the plaque on my teeth was like a serrated edge of a knife and it would cut right through it.   Now I only have to restring my flossing fork maybe once a month because there is zero plaque on my teeth to eat through it.

       I saw the results within 3-5 days, I've been doing this for 3 years and my teeth are as tight now as they were 20 years ago.

    Q:    That's amazing.  How many drops do you use?

If you live in the GTA, and read these newsletters often, we request that you become a member. We welcome you to join our group.

        I've gotten kind of lazy.  I just squirt a squirt in there.  I don't count.  I suggest though, that if you use about 4 drops of the MMS and 4 drops of the 50% citric acid and about 2 ounces of water – that's double the strength.  That way you can brush with it and it oxidizes the plaque from your teeth and oxidizes the harmful pathogens that cause gum disease.

      Now on to Dr. John Moore:

    -  "In 1987 I just about died from mercury poisoning from the fillings in my teeth..."
    -  Dr. Hal Huggins:  Only 1% of the dentists he trained are using his methods correctly
    -   You can pick up more mercury just by being around your friends, relatives, etc., than you can from seafood.
    -   Mercury attracts itself to itself, and clumps
    -   Can not get rid of it w Oxygen, because (~ 20') Mercury steadfastly occupies the cell receptor sites, oxygen can not get rid of it.

    ~ 27':  Plastics in cars contain mercury.  In the summertime, dealers have their workers go to the new cars out in the parking lot and clean off the silver haze which has collected on the inside of the windows from the summer sun.  It is mercury off gassing.

    If you are with a person who has a lot of mercury, such as a spouse, have them sleep by the window with the window open.

    ~32':    What I have since learned is that the main cause of Alzheimer's, ALS, Parkinson's, MS, autism, is caused by mercury.  I learned this from Dr. Boyd Haley, now retired, from the University of Kentucky.    There are 2 sources: one is the mother carrying the baby — it's the mother's blood supply and mercury goes right through the fetus.  A reason why the mother looks so radiant is that the baby, in effect, cleans the mother's blood supply!

     . . .  Silver fillings used to contain a great deal more silver than they do today.  The amount of mercury and copper in fillings is much greater than it used to be. These "new, improved" fillings started around 1974 and were in greater use around 1980.  Shortly thereafter, around 1982, road rage epidemics broke out.      Since that time, about half the dentists stopped putting in mercury fillings, but mercury is a lot cheaper than composites.    Around the same time, AIDS became a very severe epidemic.
             Someone who was in an AIDS facility, before he left the facility and knew about the connection between mercury and fillings, had a look in the mouths of all the patients.  Each one had a mouthful of fillings.   You could tell the difference between the old ones and the new ones.    The old ones turned black and tarnished.  The new ones were satin silver.   These are the high (mercury) release fillings.    Most of the patients had a mouthful of the new fast release mercury fillings.

       Mercury is the #1 non radioactive toxin on the planet.

       I stopped listening at one hour.  It is 2 hours 25 minutes in length.   You can find this at:  box.net/shared/bu0bcmsgkn .   You can also find an excellent 2003 interview from Acres Magazine  w Dr. Moore at:  http://www.acresusa.com/toolbox/reprints/...   and an excellent 2007 interview at  healthtruthrevealed.com/
    NOTE:  Very very occasionally I'll get a little tooth ache.  Before I go to sleep I prepare and take 4-6 drops of MMS.  Those nights, my sleep is great.  During the day I load up on Vitamin C.  This regimen is thanks to the sage advice of Rivers Sterling, when she was here May 2009 -- about how you have to take MMS and why because it can be very harsh on your body if not done properly.  I'll do this for 3 nights, not more than every 3 months or so.

      KIVA  LIGHTS
      Thanks to Daryl Wolfe's clinic in BC I found out about a new item that sounds promising:  Kiva Lights.  Have not tried it yet however the description is an encouraging one.   Some of the highlights seem  to be:
    * Full spectrum
    * Remove dust and static from the air
    * Create beneficial humidity
    * Balance negative and positive ions
    * Reduce or eliminate some toxins!  gall stones and kidney stones, too!
    * The body detoxifies, skin wrinkles go away

      ok, those are the highlights.  The lights are slightly pricey, however if they do all they say they do, its cheap!

       The lights, and the info, come from Orie Bachechi's eight year study of the effects of full spectrum Kiva lights .

        The KIVA light is to be used by itself if at all possible and we hope you will use it in the kitchen first because that is where it will treat water and food before you cook it and/or ingest it into the body. It only takes thirty minutes at the most. Some products will take as little as thirty seconds to change. We suggest you turn the KIVA light on when you go into the kitchen for breakfast and leave it on all day. It will only cost about 4 cents per day to operate.

          The KIVA light works for you in the following manner and has been home tested since March 1977, in the same manner in all homes, around the world, and from pole to pole. KIVA light breaks the free radical in the air and in anything that is water or water soluble, meaning that the product can be mineral, vitamin, or anything the body can use internally or externally. Everything is changed. It is done due to the fact that the KIVA light has changed the energy field around the entire house. Yes, the house up to 4,200 square feet or 42,000 cubic feet.

          The KIVA light does not "cure" any disease or ailment. What the KIVA process does is assist the body's immune system to function more efficiently and the body is then able to heal and repair itself. The KIVA light also corrects the glands in the body. We have worked on over 52 major disorders all in the same manner. Can we be of help to you? If so, do not hesitate to call.


    KIVA LIGHT HAS EXTRAORDINARY BENEFITS ON PLANTS, ANIMALS, AND HUMANS

    FACTS ON KIVA:
     

    KIVA light is balanced to the shade of a tree – the leading edge of the sun.
    Opens the pupil to accelerate function of the pineal gland (your thinking and equilibrium gland).
    The pineal gland splits the colors of the KIVA at the atomic level so they can go to where they are needed.

        * Electron charges your drinking water.
        * Neutralizes bad bacteria, fungi, splits toxic chemicals and balances the pH of the food you eat.
        * Helps in seratonin production which turns to melatonin at night which supports a better sleep.
        * Excellent for skin disorders.
        * Aids against depression, chronic fatigue, light deprivation, and immune disorders.
        * Without proper light, true health cannot be achieved.
        * KIVA helps neutralize the negative properties to cigarettes, coffee, tea and other toxic habits.
        * KIVA light helps give life to anything it touches.

         I have found only 3 places that offer Kiva lights.  However, if you do get one or more, please order from Daryl's Clinic 1.800.592.9653 as they continue to be a pre eminent source of leading edge health information.   (Daryl Wolfe was my first health teacher, once removed.)
         If you do get one, please let me know how it works out for you?  Whenever I get around to it, which could be tomorrow... or next year... I'm going to get one for my bathroom.  A 48" light costs around $100.

           Kiva light removes dust and static electricity from the air while holding the humidity between 45 and 55%. This balances the positive and negative ion contents in a room. Rooms, which are dry and dusty, are depleted in negative ions while rooms that are very humid, have few positive or negative ions. The Kiva light produces highly active water molecules, which precipitate the dust (positive ions), and excess humidity (negative ions) to produce a room, which has an equal balance of, charged positive and negative ions. Negative ion studies show a balance of positive and negative ions increases oxygen absorption in man.

           The Kiva light changes the pH of water. This change comes from the light structuring or activating the water to form free radicals or highly reactive positive and negative ions within the water. These charged ions will react with other water molecules to form ionized chains of water molecules and will ionize dissolved gases and minerals. Dissolved minerals become more highly soluble. This increase in the charged molecule changes the chemical strength of the dissolved minerals and changes the pH of the water.

          Kiva lights seem to inhibit several well known free radical organic and biochemical reactions. Epoxy glue will not bond under Kiva light but will stick when placed under incandescent lights. These reactions probably need an acid environment to go from the free radical condition to the ionic or covalently bonded state. Fats and oils do not become rancid under Kiva lights so meat and vegetables do not spoil as readily with Kiva light as they do under acid causing yellow or pink lights.

          Kiva lights are modified 4 foot fluorescent Vita-Lites which when placed over the kitchen sink structure the tap water and the food prepared in the kitchen. People using these lights in this manner experience periodic detoxification reactions, which include a slight fever and diarrhea. Many diseased conditions are improved by this use of structured water including poor circulation, high blood pressure, cellulite loss, dry skin, kidney and gall bladder stones, toxicity, anemia, ulcers, diabetes, arthritis, fibroid tumors and paralysis (Bachechi, 1982).

          In the body, poor circulation, high blood pressure, arterial sclerosis and cellulite from cholesterol deposits are dissolved after KIVA activated water has been used for cooking. Also, skin becomes softer and less wrinkled. Cholesterol deposits are due to free radical oxidation while skin wrinkles are caused by free radical cross linkage of collagen molecules. A rebalancing of the calcium metabolism alleviates arthritis, kidney stones, and gall bladder stones.

    Arthritis, kidney stones and gall bladder stones are alleviated by a rebalancing of the calcium metabolism.

    TEKKIE STUFF
    PC to TEXT:   WOW!   I just figured out How To Send a Text Message To a Cell Phone From My Computer!   Not having, not wanting a cell phone, but wanting to be able to connect with my relatives and friends who do texting, I wondered if I could send and receive text messages from my computer. YES!  YES YES YES!  I do not yet have this down pat yet, just figured some of it out last night and sent one successfully -- if you have more info on this PLEASE! share -- but in the meantime:

    You use your email account.  You need to know their cell phone number and it helps to know their cellular carrier.  To find out the cellular carrier, if you just have the number you can go to: /fonefinder.net/  OR  //www.primeris.com/fonefind/   OR  //freesms.1888usa.com/revcell.htm
    For carriers worldwide:  http://www.livejournal.com/tools/textmessage.bml?mode=details

    EVIL cameras//www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2010/01/five-reasons-you-should-ditch-your-dslr/
    There’s a new camera category. It’s EVIL, and it’s going to kick your DSLR’s butt.  EVIL stands for Electronic Viewfinder Interchangeable Lens, and is the favorite acronym for cameras like the Olympus Pen, the Lumix GF1 and the Samsung NX10.  These small, mirrorless, finderless cameras can fit in a pocket and outperform bulky DSLRs. Here’s why your next camera will probably be EVIL:
  • They’re Small.  DSLRs are bulky.
  • They Take Great Pictures. The trick with the new EVIL cams is that they have large sensors.  This gives the high image quality and low-light sensitivity of a DSLR. With the large sensors, the depth of field is shallower, and you can throw a distracting background out of focus.
  • You Can Change Lenses, with an adapter you can use all your current DSLR lenses on the newer, smaller body.
  • They’re Fast.  EVIL cameras  are as responsive as any entry-level DSLR. Watch out which model you go for, though.
  • They Don’t Scream “Look at Me”  With a smaller camera, you can blend in. With an EVIL camera, you can blend in and still get great shots. This combination of size and quality was the reason the Leica M series was the camera of choice for both street shooters and war reporters, from Henri Cartier Bresson to Sebastião Salgado.
  • The Con:   As a new category, the EVIL is still relatively expensive, and you'll pay as much for a body and lens as you would for a prosumer level DSLR. For many, even pros, the size difference alone is enough to justify this. For everyone else, you could wait until the likes of Canon and Nikon inevitably enter this sector. Then prices will start to fall, and things will get really interesting.

    FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY:   Thursday evening, March 4, 2010,  the Toronto Camera Club will present a lecture on:  "Adventures In Food Photography",  Find out how those tantalizing photos in cook books, magazines, ads and packaging are created.   Sponsored by Vistek.  8:00 pm, $10.   587 Mount Pleasant Road.  /www.torontocameraclub.com/

    ASTROLOGY CHARTS:   It has become fairly easy to get astrological charts generated by computer, however after you get the chart what you really want is the Interpretation.  The chart is the graphical representation of all the planets and signs.  The interpretation is the meaning, i.e.,  if you Sun sign is in Aries and your Moon sign is in Pisces -- what does that mean?   You can Google for:  ASTROLOGICAL CHART GENERATOR.   One of the ones that I like is:  alabe.com/freechart/  They do a pretty fair interpretation as well.

    The Ultimate Backup:  CLICKFREE:   Clickfree is about the size of a cigarette case.   You plug it in to your USB port and it automatically backs up all your files --- that is, your data files, not the programs.  Very simple and easy to use.  To back up, and to restore.  You can get a 160 GB or 250GB backup or a Blackberry back up, or ... check their website.  They are also a Canadian company!  I have some very old software and it was very easy to let it know the extensions of files it may not have been familiar with.  CLICKFREE.COM

    EASILY CHARGE WIRELESS DEVICES: POWERMAT:  The Powermat Home and Office mat is a slim, sleek charging mat for home or office.   Its a clean, simple way to keep personal electronic devices charged, without a mess of cables.  Connect your devices to Powermat Receivers, and drop them on the Powermat to charge wirelessly.  When a device is fully charged, power is shut off to that device, so no energy is wasted. If a device is used while on the mat, the system knows it--charging starts up again until you've got a full charge.   For legacy USB devices, or a quick charge while all your Receivers are in use, Powermats also feature a wired USB connection. It may not be wireless, but it's better than finding another free power outlet.   This mat wirelessly charges up to 3 Powermat enabled devices simultaneously (and one more via the wired USB power port).

    Scrutinizing:  Connections between:   Haiti,  New Orleans, HAARP, 2010 Vancouver Olympics, Stephen Harper, Prorogue, Michaëlle Jean, Amy Goodman

    Haiti Considerations
    What do you think?
    Soon after I heard about the January 12, 2010 earthquake in Haiti I activated my spidey sense to sense if I could discern if there were anything artificial about its cause.   I did not get any hits -- yea or nay -- around that question.

    10 days later, reports are popping up that it was caused by HAARP.  These reports allegedly come from Hugo Chavez and Russia Today.

    According to Russia Today, Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez Frías evoked the possibility that the United States are behind the series of earthquakes that struck the Caribbean region last week, including the one that devastated Haiti. However, according to Vive Tv, the allegation originated with the Russian armed forces. Be that as it may, Venezuela, Bolivia and Nicaragua have requested the UN Security Council to convene an emergency session.

    A report from the Russian Northern Fleet [transmitted to the Government of Venezuela] would seem to indicate that the earthquake that devastated Haiti was the "clear result of a seismic weapons test recently conducted by the US Navy".

    As indicated in the report, it is "more than likely" that the U.S. Navy had "full knowledge" of the catastrophic damage that this test would potentially inflict on Haiti, which would explain why Lieutenant General P. K. Keen, Military Deputy Commander of U.S. Southern Command (USSOUTHCOM) had been pre-positioned on the island to oversee the anticipated relief efforts.

    The report further indicates that the ultimate goal of these tests is related to plans which foresee the destruction of Iran through a series of earthquakes designed to neutralize the current Islamic regime.

    According to the report, the system being tested by the United States (HAARP, for High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program) is also capable of creating weather anomalies which cause floods, droughts and hurricanes

    According to a previous report, the available data coincides with the one associated with the 7.8 magnitude earthquake that struck Sichuan (China) on 12 May 2008, and which was also caused by electromagnetic waves emitted by HAARP.

    President Obama appointed Bush and Clinton to head up a fund raising effort for Haiti.  Bush and Clinton agree with one another that they have become good friends.  The Clintons visited Haiti soon after their honeymoon in Acapulco.


    NEXT:   SOUTHCOM was practicing and running emergency relief drills for a catastrophic event in Haiti the day before the earthquake hit on January 12, 2010.    Why don't they practice a hurricane drill on a U.S. territory such as Puerto Rico?
          (SOUTHCOM is The United States Southern Command.   Located in Miami, Florida, one of ten  Commands in the Department of Defense.  Responsible for providing contingency planning, operations, and security cooperation for Central and South America, the Caribbean (except U.S. commonwealths, territories, and possessions), Cuba; as well as for the force protection of U.S. military resources at these locations. Also responsible for ensuring the defense of the Panama Canal and canal area.  Comprised of more than 1,200 military and civilian personnel representing the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and several other federal agencies.)

     NEXT:   Michaëlle Jean is the current Governor General of Canada.   She was born and lived in Port-au-Prince, spending summers and weekends in Jacmel, her mother's home town. With her family, Jean fled Haiti in 1968 to escape the regime of dictator François Duvalier – who had tortured Jean's philosopher father and separated him from his family for more than 30 years – and, upon arrival in Canada, the family settled at Thetford Mines, Quebec.

     
    December 4, 2008, Governor General Michaëlle Jean granted the request of Prime Minister Stephen Harper to prorogue (terminate) Parliament until January 26, 2009, ending the first session of the 40th parliament and thereby delaying a possible change in government.

    December 30, 2009,  Governor General Michaëlle Jean granted the request of Prime Minister Stephen Harper to prorogue Parliament  during the 2010 Winter Olympics until March 3, 2010.   He telephoned Governor General Michaëlle Jean to, once again, ask her permission to end the parliamentary session.    Jean signed the proclamation later that day, granting his request, thus choosing to prorogue Parliament for the second time in her role as Governor General.  According to Prime Minister Harper's spokesman, he sought his second prorogation to consult with Canadians about the economy.


    PROROGUE =  PRO ROGUE = PRO + ROGUE . . .  PRO = 'For'
    ergo:   PROROGUE  =   For (a) Rogue?
    ROGUE:  a dishonest or worthless person

    INTERESTING:

    -  The first town that Prime Minister Harper allocated emergency funds for in Haiti was:  Jacmel.

    NEXT:

    What happened in Haiti is of course a colossal tragedy to those who live(d) in Haiti.  However the massive amount of support seemingly expressed by those around the world, i.e., non Haitians  -- and for such a poor and struggling country -- does seem to be unusual.   Especially all the countries --- seemingly coming out of a deep recession -- only to anxious to throw millions at a very corrupt dictator -- with no apparent accountability.  WHAT in tarnation is going on???
    How nice that Hilary Clinton and her cronies have has decided how she wants to restructure Haiti, n'est-ce pas?

    Haiti and New Orleans:
    - Both physically destroyed by "natural" catastrophes
    - Both on the water
    - Both sustained by tourism
    - Both heavily invested in by US governmental organizations:  New Orleans:  The Corps of Engineers.  Haiti: SOUTHCOM
    - The US Armed forces occupies both territories with stringent requirements, curfews, etc. for those remaining  (Canada complained that the US was creating an occupation army rather than searching for and helping out the survivors.)
    - Both low levels of educational attainment, high rates of household poverty and rising crime
    -  Outside economical interests, i.e., outside developers -- not native to either New Orleans or Haiti --  both claim they will be rebuilding each location.

    Haiti, Peru, Indonesia

    August 2007, Pisco Peru:  A 7.9 magnitude earthquake killed 596 people and reduced this gritty, poverty ravaged fishing town to a maze of rubble and garbage and corpses.   In the days just after the quake on Aug. 15, 2007, thousands of rescuers, aid workers and government officials flocked to the area. Millions of dollars in aid flowed in. Plans were quickly drawn up to help survivors, put up tens of thousands of earthquake resistant homes and rebuild the main regional hospital. Pisco, they said, would be built anew.

    They were wrong.  Today, many of the streets of Pisco are still full of rubble. Thousands of survivors still live in shacks. Thousands more have left. That new hospital? Construction hasn't even begun.

    December 2004, Banda Aceh, Indonesia:   Devastated by the 2004 tsunami, destruction was nearly apocalyptic. Entire blocks of the town simply disappeared, boats were tossed far inland. It took months just to find all the corpses. In all, about 230,000 people died in a swath from Indonesia to Thailand, India and Sri Lanka. More than half of the dead were in Aceh province.  The first weeks, certainly, were chaos as aid workers from around the globe, many ill prepared for the scale of the destruction, struggled to help.  Within a few months, though, things had become far more organized. One year after the tsunami, carefully planned reconstruction projects were well under way. Today, five years since the disaster, it can be difficult to see that something terrible happened here. The town is crisscrossed by well paved roads, new earthquake resistant houses and modern schools and clinics.

    So what is the difference: Why is Banda Aceh already rebuilt while Pisco is still digging itself out? Why does one disaster invite years of focus and billions of dollars in aid while another disappears almost immediately from the world's consciousness?

    Pisco's troubles were layered one atop the other: infrastructure that was already decrepit, endless red tape, badly organized aid efforts and, overwhelming everything else, widespread corruption and bureaucratic infighting. The scope of those problems made it difficult for international aid agencies to work with local governments.

    In Aceh, conversely, there was a largely well run reconstruction authority that worked closely with an army of donors. In addition, the nightmarish scale of the tsunami - with images pouring into the world's homes just after Christmas - meant unprecedented financial assistance.

     . ..  How will Haiti fare?


    WHAT is the enigma around the February 2010 Vancouver Olympics?  As evidenced by:
    -  Treatment of media by US and Canadian border guards around the Olympics
    -  The Canadian Prime Minister's Prorogation of Parliament until after the Olympic games

    Amy Goodman graduate of Harvard University is an American broadcast journalist, syndicated columnist and author. best known as the principal host of Democracy Now!  An investigative journalist, she has received acclaim for exposés of human rights violations in East Timor and Nigeria and is the first journalist to receive the Right Livelihood Award.

    November 25, 2009, Goodman was detained for upwards of 90 minutes at the Douglas border crossing into Canada while en route to a scheduled meeting at the Vancouver Public Library.  Canada Border Services agents grilled her on the proposed topics of a speech she planned to give that day in Vancouver to promote her book Breaking the Sound Barrier.

    Ignoring her press credentials, the border guards asked her repeatedly about topics she might talk about in her speech. A border agent demanded to see Goodman's speaking notes, but Goodman said she had no formal notes and would be delivering a talk based on the columns in her Breaking the Sound Barrier anthology. "I generally talk quite extemporaneously, and when they said they needed to see my notes now, I had to figure out exactly what to do. So I brought out the book, and I did say I would be reading some columns."
               "They said: 'We want your speech. You don't just go to a speech, if in fact you're giving a speech, without notes.' " In response to his demand for a detailed summary of her proposed talk, Goodman mentioned Tommy Douglas, the father of the Canadian national health care system, global warming, the global economic depression, and the wars of occupation in Iraq and Afghanistan. A customs guard carefully made notes of Goodman's proposed speaking topics and the information was entered into the Canadian government's computerized security file on her.
                The agents, however, pressed her repeatedly — she told her listeners in a Nov. 30 Democracy Now! broadcast — to find out if she might be talking about the February 2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver.
                 "I really didn’t know what he was referring to. And he kept pushing. He was clearly incredulous. And at my surprise, he disbelieved me even further. He clearly did not think I was telling the truth. He kept pushing: 'You’re denying you’re talking about the Olympics?' I said, 'That wasn’t my plan for tonight.'
                 "I was completely surprised by what he was asking and did not know what he was getting at. I'm an anti sports fan," she told a CBC Radio interviewer. "At Democracy Now, we don't cover sports much."
                  Goodman was eventually permitted to enter Canada after the customs authorities took four photographs of her and stapled a "control document" into her passport demanding that she leave Canada within 48 hours.
                  In the Democracy Now! broadcast where Goodman explained her detention at the border, she proposed to investigate "what was this obsession with the Canadian Olympics".
                 Amy Goodman has had, up until this point absolutely no connection with the Olympics.

    THE FLIP SIDE:   Two weeks later the reverse interrogation took place:   a Canadian attempting to enter the US:   Marla Renn, a member of the Olympic Resistance Network (ORN), was travelling to Portland, Oregon to speak on the negative impacts of the 2010 Games.    Renn was scheduled to speak at educational events at Mt. Hood Community College, Reed College, Portland State University, and the Red and Black Cafe. She was held for over six hours as both Canadian and US border guards interrogated her about the subject of her speech, her contacts in Portland, and her political activities. She was previously denied entry for a Seattle speaking event on the grounds that ten anti Olympic shirts were unauthorized commercial merchandise, but the shirts were found after she had already been questioned on political issues.     Likewise, the excuse for rejecting her this time (lack of employment since her graduation in August) was brought up after her planned speech and political activities were addressed by border guards.
               Renn was targeted for immediate questioning at the US border. She was photographed and fingerprinted, her property was searched, her cell phone was taken and accessed, and her documents (even the book she was reading) photocopied. She was warned that any attempt to enter the US within the next six months may result in two years imprisonment and any vehicle that she would try to enter in with would be confiscated.  . At the Canadian side of the border, she was again searched and questioned extensively on the Portland events, her speech, and attempts to build anti Olympic support in the USA.

    Next, Canada's Prime Minster suspends government until after these games.   Is there a connection?   WHAT is going on???

    We are proud that Canada --- Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, is the city that has been chosen by the International Olympic Committee to host the winter Olympics this month.  Yes, it is an honour.  And at the same time, to recognize that Olympics, like professional baseball, has changed too much.  Its cachet has changed.  It is less about sports ability and sportspersonship and talent and is more about politics and endorsements and marketing and positioning.  The honor, the integrity, has tarnish on it.

    We are involved in the Olympics, too.  We love watching it.  A Toronto Dowsers, Jo-Anne Eadie -- her daughter was sent to Greece several years ago as a member of the Canadian Woman's Olympic Softball team!   My own nephew is in training for one of the teams for an upcoming Olympic.  As spectators and those close to participants, we care about these games.  But greed and power and winning at all costs to prove that you are the best one -- are taking over.


    Canadian Raiders

    Is Canada a Police State?  Is Canada becoming like China?  4 reports coming together this month, about armed police raiders e.g. Ministry of Natural Resources, Health Canada, RCMP, breaking into family homes  at night, confining the residents, terrorizing,  removing computers, laying charges.   Health Canada? aren't they supposed to be about promoting health???

    November 2006:  over 2 dozen armed Ministry of Natural Resources raided Michael Schmidt's dairy farm before dawn

    From the Olympic Resistance Network: Across Canada, political organizers have been subject to harassment, surveillance and questioning about anti Olympic activism. People’s housing, academic work and employment have been jeopardized by police visits. Even family members, friends, neighbours and co-workers (people not involved in political activity) have been contacted by police. The targets of these investigations are community members involved in open public organizing, with publicly accessible groups, meetings, events, and websites. Combined with the efforts of the City of Vancouver and Olympic officials to deny free expression by restricting political displays in public space, the intent is clearly to silence public criticism and traditional protest methods, such as political signs, speaking events, marches, and rallies.

    Jan 15, 2009:   Alberta Naturopathic Doctor, Eldon Dahl's home and family raided at gun point and held for 11 hours by Health Canada and the RCMP;  The search warrant specified Folic Acid, the amino acid L-carnitine, plant based progesterone cream and other ultra safe supplements that are available over the counter in the USA or for export.

    November 2009:  The family home of  Ottawa Ontario area (Canadian military) Major Mark Tijssen (who has a University of Guelph degree in biomedical toxicology and knows more about food safety than the average citizen) was raided November 2009, again by agents of the Ministry of Natural Resources who were on stake out --- and he was charged -- for -- according to new legislation -- slaughtering their own animals for their own use.   Major Tijseen is part of a small neighborhood group that jokingly calls itself The Christian Meat cutters Association (oh no! are they taking on the Church, too, now?) of friends that share an occasional meat animal and appreciate its lack of chemicals, proper butchering, etc.  He says many farmers are reluctant to buy food through the meat processing industry, referring to the deaths of 22 Canadians in 2008 because of listeriosis contamination.  “That’s what’s driving this: people wanting to do their own. The only other choice is buying from those big guys who are killing people."   He says farmers are keenly aware of some of the poor quality of livestock that gets into the food chain.  “The (livestock) auction? Well, that’s where I take the ones that I won’t eat. Everybody takes their junk (there)."

    The government contends that they must license and inspect all meat cutting facilities.  People are not allowed to do this on their own. There are implications for religious groups as well.

    One has often heard about the family that -- gross as it may sound, but its true -- would kill a chicken or a pig or a cow for its meal.  Now they can't do this??  this is a very good story. Read it at: patriotnewsnetwork.org/2009/12/big-beef.html

    RAIDED:   Political Dissidents.   Holistic Health People.  Health Food store owners.   NOT  Criminals.  Divide and Conquer.  This must stop.  Look what it did to Michael Schmidt and an entire community, for over 3 years !!!  These government terrorist agents are targeting and violating the rights of freedom loving citizens purely because they do not agree with the government's ideology and or economic agenda.

    "The Processes of Dying and Death" or
    The Tibetan Book of the Dead .. or .. How to Become Enlightened When You Die

    Do you ever wonder about the dying process?  Is it a process?  Does the body just turn off at the point of death?  Or, if death is not sudden, is there a slowing and/or shutting down process?  If so, what is that like?  What happens to the body?  As a Buddhist and a Scientist, Lorena Loo wanted to understand the dying process, she had the means and resources to do so.   Lorena, a cousin of one of our members, shall provide us with answers.

    Twelve centuries ago a highly attained spiritual adept arrived in Tibet to bring the most advanced spiritual teachings to the people of that country. Among the manuscripts he wrote for the people was the so-called Tibetan Book of the Dead.  At the time he considered the people were not ready for these teachings and feared some would misuse it. But eventually, when the climate and people were ready, these teachings were made available.

    Perhaps as a result of the availability of these teachings for centuries, the Tibetan people have cultivated a different attitude towards death than the stereotypical western view.  The establishment scientific view of life serving as a mere interlude of consciousness between states of oblivion tends to instill fear in us at the prospect of annihilation upon death, despite the promise of some everlasting afterlife in Christian teachings.

    Many other spiritual traditions speak not just of the continuity of consciousness following death but as preceding life as well. So death becomes just a change of bodies rather than annihilation and we continue cycling lifetime after lifetime until we recognize the true nature of reality, our own enlightened state which has always been with us. This is spoken of as the clear light of the void or absolute reality which is free of duality.

    The Tibetan Book of the Dead presents death as our greatest opportunity for liberation from cyclic existence which is why yogis and other highly attained spiritual adepts welcome death as a time of awakening and liberation. But in order to take full advantage of this “once in a lifetime” opportunity, we must know the terrain or we will continue in cyclic existence.

    If we know what we will go through in the stages of dying and the transition stages following it, we can plan just as we would for a trip to a foreign land. Knowing what is expected and what to do, we then give ourselves the greatest chance to get out of cyclic existence and re-acquainting ourselves with our gloriously, inconceivably brilliant luminous nature.

    In this talk, the various stages of dying in the “bardo of dying” (the stages of the actual dissolution of the physical, etheric and other subtle energetic bodies) will be presented as well as some things we can do to make this critical transition period as easy, peaceful and successful as possible and as we help to prepare our 'selves' for our next 'steps'.
