Eco Couture

2008-08-19T23:18:40Z

Hi, I'm seeking like minds.

I grew up designing and making my own clothes since a little girl, and apprenticed with Mirage in Melbourne, Australia’s largest CMT house for major Oz designers; before studying fine art at Heatherleys in London. I was also sponsored by Mirage and a runner-up in the Australian Fashion Awards. Then I traveled and lived in a few different countries and got into planet activism and events, then running an online arts community, then helping manage festivals. Now current fashion has caught up with the designs in my head and the ideals in my heart and I recently returned to designing eco-friendly wearable art.

The stuff I’m now designing and reconstructing are Eco Couture, individual one-off’s made from recycled and vintage fabrics. My design skills are coming back and improving with each collection batch. Sketches and photos of recent experiments are up at http://www.recycledfordancing.com plus I already have clothes in 2 boutiques, addresses are on the site under Retail Stores.

I also do custom stage gear; before working on festivals full time I actually did costumes for Music TV dancers, musicians, and theatre. I had a few designs on national TV way back when, on long running music TV show called Countdown. And I designed costumes for a whole Bertolt Brecht play at the Chelsea Playhouse in London, plus whole wardrobes for nightclub dancers and contemporary cabaret, and fire dancers for festivals in Byron Bay.

My current designs are inspired by San Francisco and Japanese street fashion, as well as European Couture and Burning Man. For me it is sculpture using textiles with a wearable framework and chaos, I take something that I see and mix it with something else that I see, each piece inspiring the next piece. Anyway take a peek at http://www.recycledfordancing.com for art’s sake, and keep me in mind when you are thinking of new additions to your wardrobe or recycling your wardrobe.

Thank you for being here.

Join the "No Meat Week" campaign now: Help stop global warming!

2008-08-03T16:36:56Z

Did you know that if every American who eats meat daily decided to have one meat-free day a week, it would be the equivalent of taking 8 million cars off the roads?

• Animal agriculture causes about 18% of global human-induced green-house gas emissions

• Livestock produce 30-40% of total methane gas emissions

• Livestock occupy 30 percent of ice-free land on the planet, a major cause of deforestation

• Industrial meat production relies heavily on fossil fuels through fertilizer manufacturing and global transport

The emerging global warming crisis requires both personal change and industrial accountability. In addition to energy conservation, each of us can also limit our contribution to global warming by eating less meat and calling for a more sustainable livestock industry.

Please sign new Save Tara online petition

2008-06-26T21:29:25Z

Happy World Environment Day

PLEASE SIGN THE NEW SAVE TARA UNESCO PETITION ONLINE (Text below)
http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/savetara/index.html

TaraWatch is celebrating UN World Environment Day 2008, with an online
version the new Tara UNESCO / ICOMOS petition, being launched on the
Internet today. The petition calls on the United Nations Educational,
Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO), and International
Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) to declare the Hill of Tara
cultural landscape a World Heritage Site, but to insist that the M3
motorway is rerouted first.

Social network applications like myspace and facebook causes will be
heavily used to promote it. The new myspace SAVE TARA Cause Ranked 1st
among new Environment causes in new members yesterday.
http://www.causes.com/myspace/causes/71127?recruiter_id=6916545

This follows on from the successful launch of the SAVE TARA facebook
cause, which already has over 2,800 members.
http://apps.facebook.com/causes/827?recruiter_id=6916545

World Environment Day, commemorated each year on 5 June, is one of the
principal vehicles through which the United Nations stimulates
worldwide awareness of the environment and enhances political attention
and action. It is only fitting that we in turn launch our campaign
today, calling on them to act to save Tara.
http://www.unep.org/wed/2008/english/

=============================================================

TARA / M3 MOTORWAY - UNESCO / ICOMOS PETITION ONLINE
http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/savetara/index.html

THIS PETITION is addressed to: The United Nations educational,
Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO), which includes:
• The Director-General, Koïchiro Matsuura
• The Executive Committee of the General Conference
• The Intergovernmental Committee for the Protection of the World
Cultural and Natural Heritage, called the World eritage Committee
(hereinafter referred to as the "Committee")
• All parties in attendance at the 32nd Session of the World Heritage
Committee, Quebec, Canada, 2-10 July 2008.
• The Irish UNESCO Representatives

AND The International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS), which
includes:

• ICOMOS International
• ICOMOS Ireland
• All other national ICOMOS bodies, such as ICOMOS Canada, UK, US,
Australia, Norway, and Aotearoa/New Zealand
• All parties in attendance at the ICOMOS Ireland AGM, Dublin, 4 June
2008
• All parties in attendance at the Sixth World Archaeological Congress,
University College Dublin, 29th June to 4th July 2008

WHOSE JURISDICTIONS have been jointly invoked in this matter of great
national and international importance by the Minister for the
Environment, Heritage and Local overnment, of the Republic of Ireland,
John Gormley, on 11 May, 2008, in his address at the launch of the
legal incorporation and charitable status designation of ICOMOS
Ireland. He announced that he had retained an ICOMOS member, Dr Jukka
Jokilehto to visit the sites currently on Ireland's tentative list, as
well as the Hill of Tara. Minister Gormley concluded:

"The Hill of Tara National Monument has strong merit for inclusion in
an application to UNESCO for consideration as a World Heritage site",
and that he did "... not see the proposed new road (the M3 motorway)
as being an obstacle to making this recommendation."

I EARNESTLY AND RESPECTFULLY PLEAD THAT:

I. The Hill of Tara archaeological complex / cultural and natural
landscape, in it's entirety, (hereinafer referred to as "Tara") be
inscribed onto the UNESCO List of World Heritage sites.

BUT ONLY on condition that:

II. The proposed M3 motorway, (hereinafter referred to as "the M3")
currently under construction, is re-routed beyond Tara, before the site
is given World Heritage Site status, because he M3 is destroying the
integrity of the site and landscape.

I MAKE THIS PETITION FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:

- UNESCO adopted the Convention Concerning the Protection of the World
Cultural and Natural Heritage ("The Convention") in 1972. Ireland
ratified the Convention in 1991. The Convention has as its goal the
identification and protection of cultural and national heritage of
"outstanding universal value".

- The Hill of Tara complex qualifies as a natural and cultural
landscape of outstanding universal value, due to it's unique cultural
significance, and the extent of the surviving remains. Tara covers a
much larger area than that the 100 acres of State-owned land on the
summit of the Hill, which currently delimits the 'national monument'.
The M3 passes through the middle of the area to be protected.

- The entire Tara archaeological complex and cultural/natural landscape
should be declared a World Heritage site. Expert bodies, such as the
Heritage Council, have recognised Tara consists of the entire Hill of
Tara along with the Tara / Skryne valley, as well as the defensive
forts that encircle the hill, including national monuments such as the
defensive forts of Rath Lugh (to the east), Rath Miles (to the north)
and Ringlestown Rath (to the west).

- Ireland has been in breach of the Convention since 1991, by failing
to nominate the Hill of Tara to be a World Heritage site, until after
the M3 motorway was approved. Article 3 of the Convention states: "It
is for each State Party to this Convention to identify and delineate
the different properties situated on its territory". A recent UN report
on Ireland's implementation of the Convention found that "Inventories,
established at national and local levels, have not been used as a basis
for selecting World Heritage sites". This has resulted in the
contradictory approach being taken by the Irish Government, which is on
one hand facilitating destruction of significant parts of the Tara
complex, and on the other, seeking International legal protection for
those same parts.

- The Minister for the Environment, has breached his responsibilities
under the Convention by initiating the inscription process of making
Tara a World Heritage site, while at the same time, failing in his
legal duty adequately protect the Tara complex from the immient threat
of the M3 motorway. John Gormley, said in a department press release,
11 April 2008, that he did not see M3 motorway preventing the Hill of
Tara from being nominated as a world heritage site. He said his
department had engaged Dr Jukka Jokilehto, a member of ICOMOS to visit
Tara and issue a report on it. It is these statements and actions that
have as well as other failures to act, that have invoked the
jurisdiction of international law.

- ICOMOS is an international non-governmental organization of
professionals, dedicated to the conservation of the world's historic
monuments and sites, and is an offical Advistory Body to UNESCO, for
purposes of implementing the World Heritage Convention. Both UNESCO and
ICOMOS would also be in breach of the Convention by accepting the
Minister's nomination of the Tara archaeological complex and
cultural/natural landscape, without insisting that the M3 motorway is
rerouted, while it still can be.

- National survey's have shown that 70% of Irish people want the M3
rerouted and an Irish Times online survey showed that 82% of people
want Tara declared a UNESCO site.

- The World Monuments Fund have placed the Hill of Tara on the 2008
List of 100 Most Endangered Sites.

Happy Mother's Day: Woman pregnant with 18th child

By JILL ZEMAN, Associated Press Writer Fri May 9, 5:25 PM ET
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - It's a happy Mother's Day for an Arkansas woman — she's pregnant with her 18th child. Michelle Duggar, 41, is due on New Year's Day, and the latest addition will join seven sisters and 10 brothers. There are two sets of twins.
"We've had three in January, three in December. Those two months are a busy time for us," she said, laughing.
The Duggars' oldest child, Josh, is 20, and the youngest, Jennifer, is nine months old.
The fast-growing family lives in Tontitown in northwest Arkansas in a 7,000-square-foot home. All the children — whose names start with the letter J — are home-schooled.
Duggar has been been pregnant for more than 11 years of her life, and the family is in the process of filming another series for Discovery Health.
The new show looks at life inside the Duggar home, where chores — or "jurisdictions" — are assigned to each child. One episode of the new show involves a "jurisdiction swap," where the boys do chores traditionally assigned to the girls, and vice versa, Duggar said.
"The girls swapped jurisdictions, changing tires, working in the garages, mowing the grass," she said. "The boys got to cook supper from start to finish, clean the bathrooms," among other chores.
Duggar said she's six weeks along and the pregnancy is going well. She and her husband, Jim Bob Duggar, said they'll keep having children as long as God wills it.
"The success in a family is first off, a love for God, and secondly, treating each other like you want to be treated," Jim Bob Duggar said. "Our goal is for each one of our children to be best friends, and everybody working together to serve each other makes that happen."
The other Duggar children, in between Joshua and Jennifer, are Jana, 18; John-David, 18; Jill, 16; Jessa, 15; Jinger, 14; Joseph, 13; Josiah, 11; Joy-Anna, 10; Jeremiah, 9; Jedidiah, 9; Jason, 7; James, 6; Justin, 5; Jackson, 3; and Johannah, 2.

Palfrey rejected suicide in May 2007 interview --
'DC Madam:' 'I'd never want my life to end in suicide' 01 May 2008
Deborah Jeane Palfrey (aka the 'DC Madam,' who
was found hanged in Tarpon Springs, Florida on
Thursday) sat down in May 2007 for an interview
with Carol Joynt, host of the Q&A Cafe interview
series... For Palfrey, one thing was crystal clear
during that interview: She would never end her life
by hanging herself. Joynt brought up the subject of
Brandy Britton, a Baltimore prostitute whom had
occasionally worked for Palfrey and whom had
hanged herself in January 2007, only days away
from facing prostitution charges. Palfrey told Joynt in
no uncertain terms: "I don't want to be like her. I don't
want to end up like her." [See CLG's 'DC Madam'

http://www.examiner.com/a-1371330%7EOne_of_Palfrey_s_former_employees_died_by_her_own_hand.html
Deborah Jeane Palfrey seems to have followed one
of her former employees to suicide -- a fate she once
prided herself on having avoided. Brandy Britton, 43,
died by suicide in January 2007, days before she
was scheduled to stand trial on prostitution
charges... Before her death, Palfrey said Britton, a
former University of Maryland Baltimore County
professor, was one of her employees.

Join the new “Cool Earth Party” tribe

2008-04-18T20:20:46Z

Join the new “Cool Earth Party” tribe

The Democrats and Republicans are the paid agents of the oil, armament, and insurance industries. Their continued rule of America will assure a future of more imperialist war, a healthcare system that doesn't work, and no meaningful action on global warming (the single biggest threat to the future of humanity and a healthy planet).

The Cool Earth Party is being established on the principles of revolutionary democratic socialism. We call for an end to the dictatorial power of the wealthy through the nationalization of major industries and for the establishment of a planned economy run to meet human and environmental needs. This socialist society must be established within the framework of full democratic freedoms and multi-party proportional democracy. To be truly Democratic all parties running in elections will be legally guaranteed equal time in the media, big campaign spending will be outlawed, and electronic voting machines (which are presently used to rig American elections) will be eliminated.

Upon taking power the Cool Earth Party will establish a system of socialized medicine for the United States, end all U.S. military occupations of other countries, end U.S. military aid to repressive governments, and nationalize the auto and energy industries to carry out immediate emergency measures to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The Rainbow Dream Vision of Hope
Intertribal Medicine Societies of Turtle Island
The Twenty Count: 1993-2012

Make copies of the Rainbow prophecy, and give or send them to people anywhere on the planet. Then let them be guided by their hearts to do the same until all planetary citizens are brought to life in the Rainbow dream, so that we may dream and work together for true peace. Love, Thunder Woman

Introduction by Aleran
Throughout the ages humanity has sought out the prophecies of the spiritually gifted to instil a clear hope and vision into life. During this time many prophecies come to us trying to lead us in many different directions.
Some prophecy points to disaster, hopelessness and the annihilation of mankind. But other prophecies create a vision of joyful transformation through quantum leaps into love and light.
As things stand now, the human race is dreaming a hell.
But as individuals and as a collective humanity it is our potential to dream of paradise and to create the kingdom of heaven on our Mother Earth.
Could it be that the pain in our hearts caused by the hell we have created will spur us on into visions and creations of a world formed in love?
It is my prayer and dream, along with a multitude of others who have taught me to dream the Rainbow dream, that each and every one of you learn to dream both while awake and sleeping, the dream of unity and love through divine transformation.
This prophecy on the following pages is a dream and vision that is a potential reality for mankind. It is not an ultimatum. But it is ours to behold and to create if we only dare to dream it together.

The Rainbow Dream Vision of Turtle Island
Prophecies of The Native Americans
1993-2012

PART ONE ~
The distribution and giving back to humanity of the Twenty Count.
In the Turtle Island lore we say it is the time of finding one’s path with heart.
The time of seeking perfection, growth and development.
Most importantly the time of trust and innocence, when mythologies of the world are revealing secrets.

PART TWO ~
The critical time. The time of the animal. The time of Tuwalananie, the dark force.
The reason for this is that seeds of light have been planted and we are starting to grow and the teachings are starting to come out and all those ones who have taught partial truths, who have taught deliberate lies in history, are going to be threatened by the awakening of the Rainbow people because the Rainbow people exist in every country, in every nation, in every land.
The Dark Forces will be threatened and they will use their power and their power exists in technology. We are going to see new technology appearing which will be a tremendous threat to the survival of humanity.
We must exert our influence by gathering together and sharing our ideas and plans for alternative power and for world peace. If we put a double amount of energy with what we are for, we can change it. We can change it.

PART THREE ~
The time of human to human communication.
The time the human family finally starts to become human.
There will be more information brought out into open format than has ever been seen on this planet.
We will re-establish contact in a very knowledgeable way with our ancestors from the stars.
So mark that down because it will happen. The first contact will be with the Pleiades and will be totally acknowledged and will be known to all the world powers. The second contact will be with Sirius.

PART FOUR ~
When truth seekers begin to open the veil of the crack between the worlds, we will see our memory circles.
Many of the leaders who are trying to keep us locked in the past, will not function today, will fall.
Many teachers and wise people will be seen for who they are and they will be the farmers, the labourers and the gas station attendants because the tagashala will be fully awakened.
People will begin to link up with other people in gathering together circles.
Many of these will be the so-called 'common people' and not the teachers you see up there now.

PART FIVE ~
The various winged serpent wheels will begin to turn, to dance once again and when they do the rainbow lights will be seen in dreams all over the world and these rainbow light dreams will help awaken the rest of humanity.
We will sit in a new circle of law.
All civil and social laws will have to be in conformity with natural laws or the people will not accept them and they will have the enlightenment necessary to reject those laws.
Science will once again become metaphysics. They will discover four laws that will help them jump to universal law and transcend the time-space continuum which is the limitation of the age and once again we will begin to take our power and to work with rules and laws that are cosmic laws.

PART SIX ~
We will once again see the way to continue a new dream.
We will be given the road map back to the stars and we will see the star people come out of the illusion of their two-legged form and into their actual great sleeper-dreamer form.
A powerful time approaches humanity and its really hard for me to talk about it.
I am a great dreamer but I don’t know if I dream that large.
We will see a real shift in planetary consciousness.
Many of the enemies of the humans will begin to drop away.
We will totally gain the light of the great light wheel.
There will be one humanity, one planet composed of all the different ways of dancing in complete harmony in the great gathering together circle.
All the seeds will be planted.
The Earth will have its true reality formed.
It will join the sisterhood of planets, the daughters of Copperwoman and it will create within itself all forms of all things in harmony with the everything.
We will see a whole new way of perfection.
There will be plants on this grandmother earth that will give life and sustenance as never before seen.
Starvation on the earth, all those things will be gone. There will be total balance and harmony.

PART SEVEN ~
The new race of humans will begin to design their new reality of life on this planet as they intended it to be when they first came here from the stars.
We will begin to establish this planet and use the collective consciousness to hold the power of this space in harmony with the Great Circle of Twelve and all the planets. There is a whole lot I don’t even know. There is more that I am not supposed to talk about yet.
The dream will be actualised and this planet will hold its space in the great council of planets and become a part of the universal enlightened sisterhood and brotherhood of humanity and keepers of the light circles. It's happened on many planets and it's expected to happen on a lot of other planets.
There will be a moment when the population will be 'the' Population, and something great will happen.
This planet will have its design of energy movement guided by all of humanity living here.

The Great Spirit will leave its seed and the egg of everything here on this planet and it will create itself 20 times over at the speed of light and this prophecy ends as I have been given it by the Grandmothers that I share with you now.

~~~~~~~~~

Put a double amount of energy with what we are for. We can change it.

Make copies of the Rainbow prophecy, and give or send them to people anywhere on the planet. Then let them be guided by their hearts to do the same until all planetary citizens are brought to life in the Rainbow dream, so that we may dream and work together for true peace. Love, Thunder Woman

I hope many people will send the Vision of Freedom to friends, groups, etc.

I have been involved with the Rainbow Dream Vision of Hope and Freedom since 1984. In that year, three musicians and healers came into by one-man printing and publishing office, and said, "You really must look at this." They seemed a little (funny how life is at times) like the three wise men bringing gifts. Two days later I was distributing copies at a conference, and like me, people were amazed and astonished.

That's when my life started to be 'larger than life'.
And, in 1987, I went to visit the Hopi in Arizona, North America.

As I drove in from the west, an older man sitting by the roadside waved down my car... later, it felt to me that I was expected. He took me to meet Qwa David Monongye, and in the evening I was taken to a ceremony in the kiva. A dozen or more men descended from a ladder in the roof, and formed up in an arc of a circle.

They faced one direction, and started a slow foot-shuffling dance. Then fairly suddenly, domino-effect, turned one-by-one 180 degrees to face the other direction. At that point I very nearly fell off my chair ... something had hit me. A year or more later, thinking about it, the realisation seemed to be: 'We can change the direction the world is going in. It is possible.'

I drove off, eastwards, along the Hopi mesas to find somewhere to park up, and sleep the night. In the morning I got out of the car, and was surprised to see the face of the large rock only feet from the car had a carving on it. This was the Hopi's 'Prophecy Stone', and it shows people moving in a direction, and the path splitting into two. One path goes nowhere, it fades out. But the other path goes on, and corn symbols by the path indicate that this route leads to life and prosperity.

Many other unusual and significant things occurred out there in this ancient place where it feels like time had stopped. Indeed, after visiting the oldest township on the Hopi mesas ~ a tall, sharp-ended mesa, rather like a ship of the desert ~ my watch stopped, and never worked again. There is much more that happened.

In 1986 ~ the year before my first visit to the Hopi ~ I was within sixty feet of three disc craft, for around 25 minutes. This too, was like events were coming together to inform me of something significant, something much bigger than myself. In 1993, with friends, we were very close to craft in the area of the crop patterns of mid southern England on several occasions.

Since 1993, on most days when I first step out of doors I frequently see one or more flashes in the sky, seemingly from a source fairly close, and at a lowish elevation. I have always taken the flashes to indicate the locations of disc craft which are 'parked up' and are stationary. In 2007, possibly because I was loaned a camera with an unusual infra-red setting, many craft and aerial objects started to appear in my general scenic photographs. Most images are archived here: http://worldgathering.net/scotland

(A) The Rainbow Dream Vision says: "We can change it (the direction the world is going). If we put a DOUBLE AMOUNT of effort into what we are for."

(B) The Hopi Nation has a prophecy stone which predicts the world will come to a time of choice. And if we choose the good direction, we can go on into a good life.

(C) The craft appearing all over the world, seem to be waiting and watching. To see if we can figure things out. To see if we can: 'Seize The Day'.

The writing is on the wall, and it says: 'We CAN change direction.'

Please send the Rainbow Dream Vision of Hope and Freedom to your friends. And let's make a stand for what we really believe in. Put a DOUBLE amount of effort and energy into what you believe is important.

Don't feel disheartened. It looks like there are some unexpected, good moves to happen yet: "There is a whole lot I don’t even know. There is more that I am not supposed to talk about yet."

Calling All Portland Cultural Evolutionaries

2008-03-29T05:51:20Z

You are invited to participate in a potentially radical, transformational, exciting and fun experiment in social sustainability.

This is intended to be a research-oriented, experimental and experiential group on (re-)creating social sustainability. The “subjects” of the experiments will be ourselves, and, starting from the premise that we are all products of our culture(s), we’ll be exploring the culture within and without us, complete with taboos and shadows.

**The devastation of the outer environment and the devastation of the inner environment
are two sides of the same overall illness that can only be overcome by looking at both
sides together.**

Influences on our explorations will come from sources such as Deep Ecology, Quantum Physics/Chaos Theory, Systems Theory, Re-wilding/Wilderness Awareness, Permaculture, “Quantum” Psychology, and, at least in the beginning, some of the social exploration undertaken by the communities of ZEGG (zegg.de) and Tamera (tamera.org). This is not a group that “knows”, but rather one willing to play and discover. Everyone’s ideas, skills, facilitation and leadership (along these themes) will be welcome.

**If the parameters in a complex life-system can be adjusted, then the opportunity arises for a change within the whole system**

This invitation is for folks dedicated to social change on all levels, including (but not limited to) folks in the permaculture, intentional community, and re-wilding communities of Portland. Please note, this is not a theory-only group—please have some sense of adventure in regards to exploring yourself—we’ll be taking a deep look at our taboos, both personal and social. If you have any questions, please email teryani AT welcomehome DOT org.

First meeting will be Thursday, April 3rd in NW Portland. There is no charge for this study group, but please RSVP. Location TBA when you RSVP. More information will be available on the web soon.

Destroy the Great Pyramid before 2012!!

2008-03-25T10:14:12Z

You and me are living in a peculiar time wouldn't you agree? Many people feel they might actually become witness to the End of the World (or, as we know it). If you have pondered this also, you might want to keep reading. I'll try to break down, in common language, why I think we live in 'special' times, what I think will happen, and what I think we should do.

Mayan Prophecy:

For as long as humans existed, they have at certain points in time believed the End of the World had arrived, when nothing actually happened. This is for some proof enough that the whole end-of-the-world thing is nonsense, and needs no further investigation.
How can anyone look into the future anyway? Not so difficult actually, we do it all the time. The only things you need in order to look into the future is knowledge of cycles, and experience with the cycle. You know the cycle of your washing machine, the processes it goes through, and how long it takes. You can look into the future and estimate if the sun will still be up to dry the laundry, since you know about that cycle as well. People look into the future all the time, and plan their actions according to knowledge of cycles like pregnancy, menstruation or the seasons. If a cycle is longer that the general life span of a human being, the information about the cycle is recorded on a medium, to pass on to future generations, which is exactly what the ancient civilizations did.
Those tablets, documents and artworks become like a road map of time, especially if positioning of stars and planets have an affect on our human experience, which a lot of scientific evidence suggests, and 'spiritual' people firmly believe. The Mayans were such believers, and speak of a cycle 25,800 years long with a certain point within that cycle where our Sun will line up directly with the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. According to their calculations, this event, which they call the "Sacred Tree", will occur on December 21, 2012.
Is it the 2nd coming of the sun? Is the "New World Order" the antichrist? There is a heap of different perspectives on this 2012 subject online, and I leave it up to you to make your own conclusions. I'm not even sure if this has been backed up by science and astronomy,
but we only need to learn here that if at least the Mayans seemed to believe this to be true, and recorded it, perhaps others do too.

One Truth:

This demands that they believed there was ultimately One Order and One Truth to the way of the Everything, Universe, or whatever you wish to name it, much like every religion does, even science. I believe so too, and I assume that many different cultures and religions contain fragments of knowledge of it. Many 'different' cultures and religions have shared such truths and recycled them, or purposefully changed them to fit an oppressive agenda. Is it a coincidence that even Iran's leader Ahmadinejad firmly believes the awaited Mahdi is near, and many christians are preparing for Jesus' 2nd coming? Also we now have a prophet in the form of Al Gore, with his doomsday scenario's, as our global corrupted and dysfunctional leadership is preparing for world war 3. The internet has blasted open total access of information, and it seems as if we are living in the times of revelation. The worlds religions grow stronger, with more fanaticism than ever, inspired by each other's hatred, violence and repression, back in full force since September 11th. The U.S. Government is becoming increasingly more violent and oppressive towards the American people, and other nations, with permission of governments worldwide.
Many people strongly believe 911 was like Nero's Rome, and Hitler's Reichstag, an attack on us, from our leaders. An attack on our civil liberties, gathering momentum, but from who and why?

Rotten Apples:

Unfortunately, our planet seems te be controlled by a small group of people, which has passed that control down for generations. They controlled the land and orchards as royal families in Medieval times, and now they control it through finance, business and government.
The knights who collected the physical taxes with their swords are now outfitted with handcuffs, guns and computers. You see, all these hundreds of apples they claimed ownership of, start to rot in a couple days, and they can't eat them all themselves. So those who claim to own land and the fruits it bears, need an exchange medium that doesn't rot, like metal coins or paper bills. The concept of exchange is based on the presumption that a human can own land, fruit or even other life like cattle. A sad delusion; the only thing we own on this planet is our body. And we really don't even seem to own that, as it is required to report in the factory for 'employment', or on the battlefield for 'deployment'. How is it possible that humanity allows this?

The Pyramid:

In order for a few to control so many, they use hierarchical structures of authority, creating pyramids of possession and power, and reflect that in every aspect of society. In the military, in schools, homes, sports, companies, etc. you are positioned somewhere on the pyramid; most people start at the bottom, a few people are born at the top. It is evident that our planet's abundance is greedily controlled with these pyramids and it is evident to me that together with the "property-illusion" this is the only real problem this planet faces. All other problems are mere symptoms. war, starvation, poverty, crime, and even many seemingly 'natural' problems like disasters, diseases and extinction of species. All these are after effects of the growth of these pyramids, as people desperately try to climb them, trampling those below them, including Mother Earth. The bigger the Pyramid, the more possession and power for those at the top, and the more degrading and miserable the situation at the bottom is. People that rise to higher levels on the pyramid, or are born there, are not likely to give up their position as they know what awaits them below. People like you and me, with generally 'normal' lives, but not so much compared to the lives of people in Somalia for one. With a system like this, the most uncompassionate, unemphathetic people around rise to the top, or are born there and raised by these intelligent psychopaths. Of course the ramification of the pyramid shape is that most people are at the bottom, carrying the heaviest weight, putting the ones on top in a fragile position. They need to keep those at the bottom distracted from looking up, so they create distractions.

"We versus Them"

One of these is fascism, the highly delusional, contagious and effective -"we" versus "them"- syndrome. Some examples are Christian vs. Muslim (marketed heavily since 9-11), Nazis vs. Jews, Humans vs. Animals, or "consciousness vs. matter". In reality All is ultimately One, and variety in this Universe is created through subdivisions of polar opposites. For example, the subdivision of a human being is Male/Female, opposites indeed, yet when you zoom out one level, you will conclude they are both the same thing. The strength of the pyramid relies on the belief of those below in the illusion of separation. All violence, murder and massacre is the result from this concept of we vs. them, or even "we vs. everyone else", and these ideas are propagated through scriptures, religions and media.
Not only does it serve the divide & conquer technique, but it also gives people enemies to fear, and leaders to run to for security. Another scheme they use to distract us from looking at the top of the pyramid, is by giving mindless & destructive entertainment, elevating the artists involved to 'star' heights, and giving them a great abundance of wealth. Millions of dollars for something as fun as acting in a movie, or recording and performing music, while those behind the conveyer belts get minimum wage.
This way, us below might consider a higher position on the pyramid something that people deserve in relation to their talent and great work. As young children we always look at other people for inspiration and guidance, and most of us have had their idols.
Some of these 'celebrities' are so special that they have many talents, and appear in music, movie, tv and videogames. This leads a child to believe that there's a range of specialness to humans, and their success in live will depend on how special they are. They give us rags-to-riches stories so we think the ones at the top deserve to be there, while in actuality they are there because of their lack of emotional sensitivity, and their successful efforts of keeping the pyramid's base distracted from looking up.
Because the answer to all our problems is up there, out in the open, at the top of the Pyramid.

The Elite:

Those who do look up, speak of an Elite, that is secretly planning global control; a story so cliché you might chuckle here, perhaps the reason why it is so cliché. There are all kinds of stories out there as to the origins of these families, including alien DNA bloodlines and such, and again I leave it up to you to make your own conclusions. It is however worth mentioning here that many people believe that those at the top of the pyramid have always generated the major wars from both sides, and that World War III will not be any different.
Is it possible that a multi-generational elite is working towards a global empire? Is this something you witness around you? You might live in Europe, and have witnessed the change of currency there. All money was collected, and exchanged for the Euro. Who collected the money, who printed the new money, and for who? How do they know how much to print? Who decides the value of an apple? It was them, at the top of the pyramid, and it shows how big the pyramid already is. Now they are working on the "Amero" in the US, and I'm sure we'll get universal medical care soon, with required microchip implant mind you. Yes, it is possible, if not likely, that this 'obscured' elite exists, and there is a lot of valuable information on this subject online. Wasn't it Bush Senior himself who in September 11th 1990 coined the term "New World Order"? What? 11 years before 11-11-2001 when the big 11 in new york was attacked? The same 11 as in the $ symbol, or the two pillars of Solomon? What's up with these 11's?

The Rabbit Hole:

For as long as man existed, it has discovered truths about the world he lived in, truths about reality. Truths such as the inevitability of death, or that fire is warm, truths which he can use to plan his activities. With these pyramid structures it becomes possible to keep knowledge at the top hidden from those below. People are "initiated" to this knowledge when they are considered 'ready' by those above them, who know they need successors. The elite certainly uses knowledge of reality for their agenda on a material level, with advanced weaponry, telecommunications and machines to name but a few, but they also seem to believe in a non material level - the paranormal, witchcraft and magic stuff. Even though Bush Junior pleads us to not allow ridiculous conspiracy theories, he himself is part of the Skull and Bones society. I'm sorry, but having a secret club with skeletons and secret meetings is more ridiculous than the people wondering about them, unless you guys have some really cool secret knowledge - which makes conspiracy theories all but ridiculous.
There is reason to believe that the elite at the top of the pyramid uses occult knowledge on numerology, astrology, symbolism, ritual and even sacrifice, besides modern technology, to increase their chances of success. One look on your dollar bill will tell you.
Actually, many people worldwide firmly believe in this spiritual world, and even though always opposed by science,
string theory and quantum physics seem to move into the spiritual domain. It is as if science deals with the separateness of everything, and spirituality focusses on the interconnectedness of everything, yet upon further investigation this is just a spectrum of polar opposites meeting in the middle. I think the popularity of the 'scientific' atheist perspective is a result of the military campaigns against the Gnostics, Cathars, and of course the burning of "witches" on the stake, which pushed personal spiritual experience into the dungeons of the pyramid. It seems as if those above us at the top of the pyramid don't want us to find out the Truth. If that's the case, perhaps that explains why the world is being so radically changed by them, perhaps because the Mayans were right about 2012,
and they want to have their global Pyramid ready for this mysterious date.

Religion:

If you are a devout Christian or Muslim, or any other organized religion, you will probably feel that you already know the Truth, since it is written in your holy scriptures. But do you really feel with your whole being that it is the Truth that the Almighty Creator has written those books for us? There are a lot of very disturbing, conflicting and violent passages in those books, as well as some beautiful teachings.
Can you find it in your heart to give the Almighty the respect He/She is due, by believing he gave us free will, imagination, a conscious and intelligence, among all the other things we need to try to make the right decisions in our unique situations? I personally believe that the All is so glorious and perfect, that creation is perfect, has been, and always will be, and doesn't need an instruction manual. It doesn't need a Great Flood for Plan B. And yet, with all these 'blasphemous' thoughts, I still feel a strong connection with the All. Is it possible the All will create this connection with anyone seeking it, regardless of religion, culture, ritual or intention? I believe so, and I suggest to the devout among you to consider an even closer relationship with the All, where you truly believe in the perfection and glory of the almighty.
Where you don't have to invent strange excuses for the derogatory, hypocritical, and violent characteristics attributed to your god through the scriptures. Where you don't have to be afraid of laws written on paper, but gratefully use your free will to make the decisions you feel are in correspondence to the way of the All. And where you respect God's decision to give each individual a spark of life and free will, confident that all roads lead back to him, live and let live. "Your freedom to punch ends where my nose begins."
Perhaps not for you, but for millions of people around you, these scriptures have done more wrong than good, and need to be taken less seriously. I'm suggesting that your connection with the All will increase if you have faith in yourself, and start filtering the scriptures for what they are worth. Have faith and trust that the All has made you in his/her image. That you are a tiny holographic cell of the All, and as such have all the answers safely stored within. Findings of modern technology support the idea of a holographic, fractalized universe, with "Sacred Geometry" woven throughout it.

Atheism:

On the other side of the spectrum we find the atheists. They wonder why scriptures and religion have such a strong hold on so many people? I think that is because they feel a connection, a connection with the All. Some atheists argue none of it is real, but these people feel the connection is real, and don't want to let go of this feeling. We are all connected, regardless of what vile and disgusting scripture, behaviour or worship people surround it with. Instead of denying this connection, we should argue that people can let go of the scriptures without losing this sacred connection. We all are perfectly capable of living together harmoniously if we live in accordance to the logic and flow of the All. We need to use a balance of logical intelligence and emotional intuition, to filter the crap of the scriptures of all traditions,
and the Truth and Order of the universe will emerge, and set us free.

The Solution:

The only things we need to do is to stop supporting the Pyramid, and realize that property is theft, as Proudhon noted,
that the fruits of Mother Earth belong to all of her inhabitants equally. Bloody revolutions don't work. Revolutions have to come from within, for people just need to drop their destructive habits. We need to realize we are all connected, and that separation is an illusion.
I believe, and many others with me, that the All is the ultimate Parent, and has ensured we all can always "call back home", from wherever we are in the universe. The phone will always be answered. There are telephone booths all around us, all we gotta do is pick up the phone, and the All will comfort us, guide us, teach us, and make us laugh, or it will help us through the darkness back into the light. The call might not always be pleasurable, there might be tears, letting go, fear, self-reflection, and such. But if you prepare for the call, and surround yourself with your loved ones in a comfortable and familiar environment, I believe your phone-call with the All will be productive and helpful. I don't suggest a prank-call. The telephone booths I am talking about here are Entheogens.

The Light:

Did you know that the only organism that can break down nuclear waste is a Fungi? A mushroom basically? Did you know you have a neurological landscape that looks like mycelium? That your brain neurons and astrocytes are similarly arranged to the mycelia network? A.k.a the mushroom's underground web below the forest floor? These patterns are even discovered in outer space, between solar systems. Quantum 'String' theory speaks of a similar web. Or how about this one - that all humans, and probably loads of animals, produce DMT naturally in their physical body? And scientific study suggests this DMT is responsible for spiritual experiences and the alien-abduction phenomena humans experience? With meditation techniques, you can probably trigger the secretion of DMT, and feel drastic emotional or mental changes. DMT is also the active ingredient of Ayahuasca, a psychedelic brew people have consumed for years.
There are those that suggest the small photonic light your DNA transmits is the light people see inside, while under the influence of DMT. Will the coming photon-belt launch a psychedelic DMT trip, as part of the DNA-upgrade, wheter you like it or not? And did you know a full grown amanita muscaria might resemble a cup, and hold some psychedelic rainwater? You could walk through the forest, pick it up and drink from it, leaving some people to suggest this magic mushroom might be the fabled 'Holy Grail'. In the past, the US Military tried LSD on soldiers to see if it could be useful for mind control, but they discovered instead that LSD made people 'enlightened', more aware of the interconnectivity of everything, aware of the Truth. Soldiers dropped their guns, and picked up flowers in awe of the beauty and glory of God. Psychedelics like MDMA continuously proof very beneficial in trauma therapy and humans with terminal diseases. The psychedelic African root Iboga is extremely powerful against addiction, curing some heroin addicts instantly. The benefits of the Marihuana plant are seemingly boundless.

The Darkness:

Why is it the liquor stores, pharmacies, and streets are flooded with all kinds of drugs, except for Iboga, Peyote, Amanita Muscaria, Psylocibin, Ayahuasca, LSD, Salvia Divinorum, etc. etc. Except for the "psyche-delics", the "mind clarifying" plants? Because the international "War on Drugs" is a war on psychedelics, and has resulted in the world we see today. In light of the hypocrisy of this war, I dare to state we need to re-connect with these psychedelics. I believe it is the most basic of solutions, and they are way more safe than cigarette's, pharmaceuticals, crack and alcohol. I think it is especially important for our younger generations, as it is the ultimate right of passage, if done with the proper respect, education, care, timing and love. We all long back to our 'childhood happy carelessness',
and I suggest the only reason we've lost it is because we were not given our rites of passage, our psychedelics. Instead we get schools with pyramid structures, where some teenagers feel so disconnected that we see more suicidal massacres nowadays.
Most of these kids were on anti-depressants, not MDMA or Ayahuasca. At home a perpetual horse-and-pony show is blasted onto billions of retina's worldwide through television, internet and handhelds, solely for the purpose of misdirection and distraction. Will Brad Pitt ever marry Christina Aguilera? I believe a good psychedelic trip will benefit people and families, and the internet provides sufficient information for all to do it safe and wisely. Perhaps instead of prozac, try and and visit the forest's pharmacy. Mother Nature's pharmacy.
You go to her for your food, so what's wrong with her medicine? Who tell us they are wrong? Right, those above you...
Believe in your own judgement, not in the judgement of those above you. It's your choice.
Even though I believe people need to "call back home" more often, I strongly discourage the macho "getting F'd up!" approach. "How many do you dare to eat?" is the same as "How fast do you dare to drive this car?", and will get you in trouble. It is this sort of reckless carelessness that results in a "bad trip", and if you aren't like this, the chances of having one of the most wonderful times of your life are huge. A great mindset, a comfortable familiar setting, the right dose, the right choice of psychedelic, proper preparedness, a company of people that you completely love and trust, and an experienced "trip-sitter". These are the ingredients that will almost certainly guarantee a good time, and inspire you for a lifetime. If we want, we can drop the pyramid, and pick up the pieces. Drop our money, and share the abundance. Us below will have to welcome those that fall down from the top with open arms, if we ever want to make something really beautiful on this planet. Entire industries and avenues of 'employment and deployment' will evaporate, and we need to welcome back everybody that drops their weapons, or had a part in such destructive or meaningless industries. The wealthy need to give up their wealth, and the poor need to forgive them, a tough process with which the clarifying and connecting properties of psychedelics can help. With voluntary mutual cooperation we can turn this planet around.

2012:

If nothing happens, we might by then have established paradise on earth, and happily look forward to the year 27,812. If something great happens, we will be ready to integrate it into our sustainable earthly paradise, and take it to the next level. If the earth explodes, we'll meet again. Either way, there should not be a Great Pyramid of Tyranny in place, I assume, and we should all dedicate the next years of our lives to the destruction of the Pyramid, the New World Order, to the best of our individual capacity. This is the moment billions of humans have talked about for millennia... now what are you going to do? If something as huge as the realignment of our planet with the center of our galaxy can't make us all synchronize a global effort, then what will? We need to have a good look at the Pyramid, not at global warming. Distraction, remember?

-------------------------

I dedicate this Tribe to the creation of a mycelium-like network of humans that are ready and willing to climb down the Pyramid together, and build a paradise on the ground as equals. I have faith that we have all the knowledge and infrastructure we need to solve all the problems that emerge from this drastic change. Maybe 10 years from now Buckingham Palace will host art galleries, live music, restaurants, libraries? Do you dare to dream of a Global Paradise?
Share your dreams here with us, and let's make it happen!!!

Love,

PS: The Great Pyramid in Egypt doesn't need to be destroyed imho :)

Free Energy Celebration!

2008-03-13T04:16:42Z

We are organizing a free energy celebration and are looking for any participants or ideas for orchestrating such an event. The idea is to inform the masses about the benefits of free energy for communities and our environment and the repression of free energy by certain governments/corporations. We plan on using pamphlets, movies, music, public speakers, dvds, floats, and food to create an effective celebration and appeal to a diverse group of people. It's time to take matters into our own hands and defend the defenseless!

Conspiracy History compilation DVDs torrents

2008-03-13T02:38:12Z

**************************************************

Greetings to all my relations.

This is the last step of our project History Watch. If History is
defined and known by the texts, we can now add to this definition the
recorded events of the filmed archives. Animated images are harder to
deny than printed words. Our objective is to spread out freely some of
the little broadcast, even hidden informations about our collective
History.

We put online a collection of 391 documentaries and other selected and
recut videos, to offer to a wide public the best of the infos
available on the net in english and in french. If you are interested,
you have the time, the right equipment and connection, all you have to
do is open the joint document and decompress it if needed (but normaly
your system should do it automaticaly). You'll find therein nine links
that will open the torrents for the nine DVDs we compiled (around 4.6
Gig each, for a total of a little over 41 G, being over 100 hours of
videos).

Otherwise, you can go directly to btjunkie.com and search for these titles.

Torrents are a system of peer to peer data transfer. The more people
download a torrent, the faster it spreads and the longer it stays on
the net. If you don't have a bittorrent software, we suggest that you
download uTorrent on utorrent.com. If you want to participate in
facilitating the diffusion of these infos about our collective
History, download these torrents on as many computers as possible,
whether it is in cybercafes. It takes one or two minutes to open up
the links and the downloading will keep proceeding on its own.

Please spread this out, take part in this action for social education
on a planetary scale. Thanks.

Looking for an Earth Friendly community style living solution?

There is a Meeting of the Kindred Spirits coming up March 29th! And
we do need to see some more Positive well integrated Female Energy in
this group who can work closely with others.

THE BIG WORLD GATHERING
http://www.worldgathering.net

What is The Big World Gathering?
The Big World Gathering is happening now wherever you are by you sharing with others what you really feel and think about life today, and by distributing information you believe is important. At a later stage, perhaps soon to happen, all our individual actions may help lead to something quite surprising; a major world change.

"Awake, awake, the world is young,
For all its weary years of thought.
The starkest fights must still be fought,
The most surprising songs be sung."
~ James E Flecker

'THE GATHERING' by Sitting Bull

It is very important that as many people as possible, in different places, should take part in the Gathering. Decide where and when and how to gather. Your participation is needed.

This is the beginning of the break we are all waiting for; for you all on Earth and ourselves out here. This is the beginning of the turn around. We have waited so long for the change. It is time. This is the beginning of the end of the old ways; the turning of the tide.

State what you believe is true. Courage is the ability to go beyond the familiar. Exchange the information and hopes you have. Always in the world, a change starts with a few people. These few speak the feelings and thoughts of a multitude. They speak the heart of humanity's soul.

The people and ETs who will come together shall ring in a return, a turn around. There will come a flow on Earth which will burst the dark energies surrounding you and your planet. That which you believe is true must be stated. The truth is the key.

May strength and vision be yours as you establish the new. Follow your hearts. Let your inner light be your guide. Realise the beauty and greatness you have within yourself and step ahead. This is the time so many have waited so long for. Never doubt it has started.

The young of all nations are looking for a new direction. It is time to light a beacon to show the way for all humanity. Let your feelings, thoughts and beliefs be your guiding light. The power of the moment. The wishes of the people. The good times ahead.

It is time for the gathering.

Tatanka Yotanka - The Sitting Bull
(This message is through a clairvoyant in Holland, Europe, in recent years)

'The Gathering' by Matthew

Last night I had a gathering for all my departed friends
I asked Jim Morrison where he'd been
He just laughed and smiled,
Spoke of what he'd seen

He said "I've been to the end of the rainbow"
He said "I've seen supernovae burst"
But before I could ask a question,
He said "Let me finish first"

He said "I have something to tell you",
This really is the MASTER KEY
ONLY! ONLY LOVE!
Will set this planet free

He then spoke ok Atlantis,
And what has come to pass
In an alien war of genocide,
He and his friends escaped the blast

* * *
Now these ones are returning,
They see our hearts are burning
The Universe is yearning,
For us to break on through

Well now you see here is my request,
The letter to your heart
Will you join us now,
Let the healing start

First there came THE question,
Then I found THE door
Now I have come through it,
A stronger man for sure

I will ask you the same question,
I can lead you to this door
If you will walk through it,
You will be Wiser than before

Yes now I have this question to put to you
Are you going to resist,
Will you break on through?
Will you break on through?

I am waiting for you...

The Gathering

Turning of the Tide - WGFT

2008-02-29T02:42:52Z

http://www.worldgathering.net/news24.html

Turning of the tide …
By Matthew,
Warrior-Poet from the Isle of Man, UK

We say we have it tough
But we always have enough
We say we are trying but the children are still dying
We read the news - got to get our daily blues... ohhhh

But we are ready
Ready for tomorrow
We got each other
From me you can borrow
They say you can never change a leopards spots
But they can’t see how we rearrange the dots

We are the power in everyone
We are the dance of the moon and the sun
We are the hope that will never hide
We are the turning of the tide

We will look to the stars and we will see the light
WE are powerful because we know what is right
We are ready
Ready for tomorrow
Sinking the ships of jealousy and sorrow

We are the power in everyone
We are the celestial dance of the moon and sun
We are the hope that refuses to hide
We are the turning of the tide

In your eyes a vision
In my heart a fire
We will unite our powers
To expose the Liar

We will not swallow any more excuses
We will not be party to your war on humanity
We have heard all your delusions
We are sated with your profanity...Liar

We are the power in everyone
We are the celestial dance of the moon and sun
We are the hope that refuses to hide
We are the turning of the tide

How about GREEN solar energy??

2008-02-02T18:29:50Z

I am getting very worried about the Democrats big plans for green energy. Traditionally, even "liberals" have always ignored the desert beauty. I can't tell you how many so called environmentalists I have heard who seem to have no problem plastering the public lands in the desert southwest with miles and miles of solar developments and wind turbines. While we should be using this energy, it should be going on rooftops and other previously disturbed areas. I am rather shocked how few environmentalists are not talking about the threats "green" energy have on the biodiversity of the desert. Both Hillary and Obama, not to mention McCain are planning to ruin our deserts with these kneejerk political reactions to global warming. Global warming is real. Alternative energy is a great thing to be persuing, but we should not jump the gun and agree to these vast proposals to alter our deserts with destructive green energy projects. Why are there no environmentalists posting opinions on the threats of green energy? Let's not play dangerous politics with our desert. If we stop all carbon emissions tomorrow, we still will not stop the shift we have caused on the climate. So let's slow down and start talking about green energy that will not trash our deserts. I live in the Mojave Desert in the Southwest US. There are permits to cover most of the public lands around my home for this. Many of these projects will go nowhere because most of the locals will protest the applications for water rights. Not because we are for coal and nuclear. We will protest those to. Because we love our home. All of these giant corporate solar and wind farms are designed to make a few power companies rich. Plus, none of them are designed to REPLACE coal and nuclear power.
There are alternatives to plastering the desert with these eyesores.

Thanks

Marc Emery, Prince of Pot, takes Time 4 Hemp!

2008-01-30T13:50:01Z

Marc Emery is called the 'Prince of Pot' and claims to have sold more marijuana seeds than anyone in the world. To date, no one has disputed that claim. He lives in Vancouver, British Columbia, he is the founder of Cannabis Culture magazien, and considered by the U.S. government to be the biggest drug kingpin in history.

Just days before embarking on his 16-city 'Farewell Tour Across Canada' (and a few short weeks before entering prision for a 10-year stay), Marc was nice enough to sit down and take Time 4 Hemp.

Featured Music Artists:

The Individuals
Muck Sticky
Negative Index
Bob Marley
John Lennon

HALLELUJAH!!

2007-12-29T17:05:17Z

Hallelujah Diet - Drawing in religious mainstream crowds!

http://www.hacres.com/diet/hallelujahday.asp <<<<< It's kinda mainstream, but it's better than seeing ads for Wendy's burgers.
http://www.hacres.com/products/hallelujahdietbook.asp <<<<<< testamonies

Teehee..... K, now I'm not religious, but when I went to log in to Yahoo this mourn, on the front page was this video talking about a 72 year old preacher who is drawing crowds in by the hundreds to his seminars. They don't really come to see him Preaching about God, per say, but to see him talk about Vegetarianism! Like wow eh!.... He says people should all go back to the way that God directed them to eat in Genesis. He runs around the room full of energy talking about Vegetariansim. He was diagnosed with having a tumor when he was 42 and changed his diet.

He preaches about "How to Eliminate Sickness". Reverend George Malkmus tells his followers how he healed his own colon cancer and other diseases more than 20 years ago. This is what is attracting people to his seminars. Yeay.... I say go for it! Wake up america!

Of course I am pagan / pantheist, and not into dogmatic religion AT ALL, but to have mainstream Americans start changing their diet as a whole is good ya?

Eulogy for a Tigress

2007-12-28T01:39:37Z

A soft and fury kitten
With blue eyes and tiger stripes
Grows into a cat
Mighty mankiller
stalker of jungles and forests
one of the rarest breeds
born into a life of captivity
what must it be like
to cat nap
as food walks around pointing
tail twitches
thoughts of freedom
and meals of funny looking monkeys
forever taunting
finally freedom comes
Ohh Tatiana Tigress
you are my shero
mighty mankiller
graceful and sleek
when shall we learn
that you commited no crime
you were only following
your instinctual call
may you live wild and free
forever in our hearts
and in the great world beyond
Blessed be, great cat
Blessed be...

A message to cops and others who shoot wildlife to kill-
Use a tranquilizer gun...
It is not the wild animal's fault that they encounter us,
it is we who have encroached on their freedom

2007-12-09T20:32:39Z

Would you please help get the word out about 'Time 4 Hemp' - the new Potcast series that's free to download from http://www.Time4Hemp.com

I've worked hard to put together some great podcasts designed to feed brains the truth about Marijuana and its’ many uses for paper, fiber, fuel, and medications. What's more - the thing that makes these shows so great are the guests!

There are 3 PotCast's being offered – free – at http://www.Time4Hemp.com and all can be subscribed to through iTunes should you like. EACH SEGMENT HAS LOTS OF GREAT MUSIC INCLUDED!

You'll also find nearly 100 great songs and more than 80 interesting videos you can freely download from the site.

The first PotCast series, 'Time 4 Hemp - TODAY' features segments that were recorded in 2007 and are offered in audio format only.

Currently featured is Ed Rosenthal - (one of the founders of High Times Magazine). Ed is recognized worldwide as an authority on marijuana. In his thirty-plus years as a cannabis expert, he has written or edited more than two dozen books about marijuana cultivation and social policy, which cumulatively have sold over one million copies. He is a member of the International Cannabinoid Research Society and the Garden Writers Association of America. He has also served as an expert witness on marijuana cultivation in State and Federal trials.

There aren't many outlets for talented musicians to be heard who sing about how wonderful marijuana is - Time 4 Hemp is trying to change that.

This week, Neal Smith (of Indiana NORML) takes Time 4 Hemp to discuss a variety of marijuana-related-topics including how to pass a urine test. Music featured in this free download is from the CD entitled: 1967 - written and recorded by; Mellow The Band.
