One day, as Manjusri stood outside the gate, the Buddha called to him, “Manjusri, Manjusri, why do you not enter?” Manjusri replied,

“I do not see myself as outside. Why enter?”

‘To pleasant songs my work was erstwhile given, and bright were all my labours then; but now in tears to sad refrains am I compelled to turn. Thus my maimed Muses guide my pen, and gloomy songs make no feigned tears bedew my face. Then could no fear so overcome to leave me companionless upon my way. They were the pride of my earlier bright-lived days: in my later gloomy days they are the comfort of my fate; for hastened by unhappiness has age come upon me without warning, and grief hath set within me the old age of her gloom. White hairs are scattered untimely on my head, and the skin hangs loosely from my worn-out limbs.

‘Happy is that death which thrusts not itself upon men in their pleasant years, yet comes to them at the oft-repeated cry of their sorrow. Sad is it how death turns away from the unhappy with so deaf an ear, and will not close, cruel, the eyes that weep. Ill is it to trust to Fortune’s fickle bounty, and while yet she smiled upon me, the hour of gloom had well-nigh overwhelmed my head. Now has the cloud put off its alluring face, wherefore without scruple my life drags out its wearying delays.

‘Why, O my friends, did ye so often puff me up, telling me that I was fortunate? For he that is fallen low did never firmly stand.

While I was pondering thus in silence, and using my pen to set down so tearful a complaint, there appeared standing over my head a woman’s form, whose countenance was full of majesty, whose eyes shone as with fire and in power of insight surpassed the eyes of men, whose colour was full of life, whose strength was yet intact though she was so full of years that none would ever think that she was subject to such age as ours. One could but doubt her varying stature, for at one moment she repressed it to the common measure of a man, at another she seemed to touch with her crown the very heavens: and when she had raised higher her head, it pierced even the sky and baffled the sight of those who would look upon it. Her clothing was wrought of the finest thread by subtle workmanship brought to an indivisible piece. This had she woven with her own hands, as I afterwards did learn by her own shewing. Their beauty was somewhat dimmed by the dulness of long neglect, as is seen in the smoke-grimed masks of our ancestors. On the border below was in~woven the symbol Π, on that above was to be read a Θ1 And between the two letters there could be marked degrees, by which, as by the rungs of a ladder, ascent might be made from the lower principle to the higher. Yet the hands of rough men had torn this garment and snatched such morsels as they could therefrom. In her right hand she carried books, in her left was a sceptre brandished.’ – Book 1 Consolation of Philosophy by Boethius

Everything in this Universe is alive, even that which is dead, is alive in its death. the mind can be deceived and the body can be punished, but the truth moves on, ever growing, amid changing form. a quiet reality, and when you learn to quiet the mind that can deceive, and heal the body that can be punished, you will hear the harmonic vibration that  truth emits, in its everlasting song, manifesting into physical planes of existence.

I write these things to you in full compliance, and submission to this truth. The love of truth is what compels and drives the heart of the warrior. the discovery of self, and living in accordance with nature and the laws of the universe are inseparable in this. For MY self, I follow 7 principles of truth, which form a basis of further exploration and understanding. These arent my ideas, and I cant say where I found them, or even when I became consciously aware of these principles of truth, however they have been the rules to which I have lived the majority of my life trying to understand properly, and to live by.

The Lady of Truth

If we want to see a better world, we must begin with our selves. We are beings of light consciousness having a human experience, and as such, we are given our first” kingdom”(insert temple, or whatever symbolism triggers understanding here) to “rule” (insert proper symbolism once again). our bodies. this biological machine, is alive, and is subject to our will, and consciousness, and is the first place we must begin as we begin our Universal sojourn.

Thru discipline comes harmony, and when harmony and balance are achieved, transformation begins. Focus on breath, and body, recognizing that each individual cell works in partnership with others to create the body that is a manifestation of an inner will to be.  harmony. each cell recognizing its individual responsibility to exist in partnership to create something greater than its self. This realization in my self was key as I was relearning how to move after being paralyzed in my upper body. I have almost fully recovered, and move amazingly well now, and the main challenges now is the scar tissue, and damage done to my sympathetic nervous system. My focus these days has been on deep breath yoga nidra, and diet control, and have gained a deeper understanding and gratitude for that which I consume into my body.

The point I am getting at here is that it takes the heart of a warrior to survive the love of truth. Truth is a Lady of fire. whose love I crave more than I crave my own life, and to whom I dedicate my life to serving as a humble warrior, striving to tear down the walls of my own inner prison,to find the keys to the chains that bind my misunderstandings. to learn and to grow, so that  i will grow to be the manifestation of compassionate understanding, that nothingness lies in my heart and mind. to lay in her arms once again.

A fellow warrior was embraced by this Goddess of Fire on May Day in the year of this romanic conquest of 2013 A.D.. I only learned of Stuart Wilde in this world fairly recently, but I know him in what I call the dreamtime, and he calls the Aluna Worlds. I began here, by posting his articles and reaching out to him in solidarity. I RAISE my sword in salute brother. WE , the shaman  who play the strings of light that dance with the fire of truth, sing a song of love and welcome.

In the end, the only triumph is to return home, and the eternal Tao is the compass we use to grant us the resonance of that safe return. The Tao is woven into the souls of the animals, and without them to guide us, we can’t arrive at the celestial, for they are its keepers. ~ Stuart Wilde (www.stuartwilde.com)

King of Edessa & The Omphalos Stone

by Henrik Palmgren, Red Ice Radio

ralphellis

Ralph Ellis has been researching biblical and Egyptian history for more than 30 years. Being independent from theological and educational establishments allows Ralph to tread where others do not dare, and it is through this independence that Ralph has made many new biblical and historical discoveries. He returns to discuss his latest book, Jesus, King of Edessa. Ralph will talk about the Edessa family, a royal family most have never heard about. Ralph has discovered that one of the princes of Edessa had the same names as Jesus. We’ll discuss Josephus Flavius as a historian who worked for the Romans writing their propaganda, deleting the Edessa family. Ralph will explain how manufactured biblical gospel is still a version of the truth, written using the pesher technique. In the member’s hour, we’ll continue on the omphalos stone found in the Temple of Delphi, reputed to have been a conical meteoric stone that arrived in a dramatic and fiery fashion from the heavens above. Ralph talks about where else we can find stories about stones with magical properties. Then, we’ll hear about royals with cone-heads and where else we see this in history. Was the conical Edessan crown also designed to cover and conceal an elongated royal cone-head? Ralph entertains ideas of ancient astronauts. Later, we’ll return to the motives of Joseph Flavius, a possible double agent. Ralph explains how the writings of Flavius have taken humanity on a diversion from gnosis.

Bushido

Bushido, meaning “Way of the Warrior”, is a Japanese code of conduct and a way of life, loosely analogous to the concept of chivalry. It originates from the samurai moral code and stresses frugality, loyalty, martial arts mastery and honor unto death. Born of two main influences, the violent existence of the Samurai was tempered by the wisdom and serenity of Confucianism and Buddhism. Bushido developed between the 9th to 12th centuries and numerous translated documents dating from the 12th to 16th centuries demonstrate its wide influence across the whole of Japan.

 According to the Japanese dictionary Shogakukan Kokugo Daijiten, “Bushido is defined as a unique philosophy (ronri) that spread through the warrior class from the Muromachi (chusei) period.” Nitobe Inazo, in his book Bushido: The Soul of Japan, described it in this way. “…Bushido, then, is the code of moral principles which the samurai were required or instructed to observe… More frequently it is a code unuttered and unwritten… It was an organic growth of decades and centuries of military career.”

Under the Tokugawa Shogunate, aspects of Bushido became formalized into Japanese Feudal Law.

Translation of documents related to Bushido began in the 1970′s with Dr. Carl Steenstrup who performed a lifetime of research into the ethical codes of famous Samurai clans including Hojo Soun and Imagawa Ryoshun. Steenstrup’s 1977 dissertation at Harvard University was entitled “Hojo Shigetoki (1198–1261) and his Role in the History of Political and Ethical Ideas in Japan”. Steenstrup holds two Phd’s in Japanese History–one from Harvard in 1977 and another from The University of Copenhagen in 1979.

According to the editors of Monumenta Nipponica, “Tens of thousands of documents survive from the medieval period… Only a few have been translated into English, or are likely ever to appear in translation.” One of the oldest English-language academic journals in the field of Asian studies, much of Dr. Steenstrup’s significant findings were written for MN.

Primary research into Bushido was later conducted by William Scott Wilson in his 1982 text “Ideals of the Samurai: Writings of Japanese Warriors” . The writings span hundreds of years, family lineage, geography, social class and writing style–yet share a common set of values. Wilson’s work also examined the earliest Japanese writings in the 8th century: The Kojiki (712AD), Shoku Nihongi (797AD),the Kokinshu (early 10th century), Konjaku Monogatari (CA 1106ad), and The Heike Monogatari (1371) as well as the Chinese Classics. (the Analects, the Great Learning, the Doctrine of the Mean, and the Mencius.(CA 500BC)). Wilson holds a Master’s Degree in Japanese Language and Literature from the University of Washington at Seattle in 1979 and served as a Consular Specialist for the Consulate General of Japan in

Seattle in 1980. Mr. Wilson recently received Japan’s Foreign Minister’s Commendation from the Consulate General of Japan in Miami, Masakazu Toshikage on November 15, 2005.

 Historical development

Early history to 12th centuries

According to Wilson, the four Confucian classics: the Analects, the Great Learning, the Doctrine of the Mean, and the Mencius, are mentioned specifically in the warrior’s own precepts as suggested reading. Takeda Nobushige included examples of what was considered proper reading for the educated warrior. His “Ninety-Nine Articles”, lists the Analects of Confucius as one of the main texts of study. Wilson describes Confucianism as “Basically a philosophy of humanism which places much emphasis on education, rationalism, sincerity of action, and the relationships of people involved in society, rather than spiritual affairs or speculation on life after death.”

The stylings of Bushido have existed in the Japanese literature from the earliest recorded literary history of Japan, predating the introduction of Confucian ethic from China. The Kojiki is Japan’s oldest extant book. Written in AD 712,it contains passages about Yamato Takeru, the son of the Emperor Keiko. It provides an early indication of the values and literary self-image of the bushido ideal, including references to the use and admiration of the sword by Japanese warriors. Yamato Takeru may be considered the rough ideal of the Japanese warrior to come. He is sincere and loyal, slicing up his father’s enemies “like melons,” unbending and yet not unfeeling, as can be seen in his laments for lost wives and homeland, and in his willingness to combat the enemy alone. Most important, his portrayal in the Kojiki shows that the ideal of harmonizing the literary with the martial may have been an early trait of Japanese civilization, appealing to the Japanese long before its introduction from Confucian China.

This early conceptualizing of a Japanese self-image of the “ideal warrior” can further be found in the Shoku Nihongi, an early history of Japan written in the year 797. A section of the book covering the year AD 721 is notable for an early use of the term in Japanese literature and a reference to the educated warrior-poet ideal. The term bushi entered the Japanese vocabulary with the general introduction of Chinese literature and added to the indigenous words, tsuwamono and mononofu.

In Kokin Wakashū (early 10th century), the first imperial anthology of poems, there is an early reference to Saburau — originally a verb meaning “to wait upon or accompany a person in the upper ranks of society.” In Japanese, the pronunciation would become saburai. By the end of the 12th century, saburai, an old word for samurai, became synonymous with bushi almost entirely and the word was closely associated with the middle and upper echelons of the warrior class.

13th to 16th centuries

From the Bushido literature of the 13th to 16th Centuries, there exists an abundance of literary references to the ideals of Bushido.

Compiled in 1371, the Heike Monogatari chronicles the struggle between the Minamoto and Taira clans for control of Japan at the end of the 12th century—a conflict known as the Gempei War. Clearly depicted throughout the Heike Monogatari is the ideal of the cultivated warrior. The warriors in the Heike Monogatari served as models for the educated warriors of later generations, and the ideals depicted by them were not assumed to be beyond reach. Rather, these ideals were vigorously pursued in the upper echelons of warrior society and recommended as the proper form of the Japanese man of arms. By the time of Imagawa Ryoshun’s Regulations at the beginning of the 15th century, the Bushido ideal had already reached its balanced state.

NOTES ON REGULATIONS

Kuroda Nagamasa (1568-1623 A.D.)

 

This period of early development of Bushido, as depicted in these various writings and house codes, already includes the concepts of an all encompassing loyalty to their master, filial piety and reverence to the Emperor. It indicates the need for both compassion for those of a lower station, and for the preservation of their name. Early Bushido literature further enforces the requirement to conduct themselves with calmness, fairness, justice, and politeness. The relationship between learning and the way of the warrior is clearly articulated, one being a natural partner to the other. Finding a proper death in battle, for the cause of their lord, also features strongly in this early history.

 17th to 19th centuries

Although Japan enjoyed a period of peace during the Sakoku (“closed country”) period from the 17th to the mid-19th century, the samurai class remained and continued to play a central role in the policing of the country. It has been suggested that this period of relative peace led to the refinement and formalism of Bushido that can be traced back through the era of feudal Japan, or the Edo Period. Literature of the 17th to 19th Century contains many ideas of the philosophy of Bushido. This includes:

 The Last Statement of Torii Mototada (1539-1600 AD)

Kuroda Nagamasa (1568-1623 AD)

Nabeshima Naoshige (1538-1618 A.D.)

Go Rin No Sho (The Book of Five Rings) by Miyamoto Musashi (1584-1645 AD)

Budoshoshinshu by Taira Shigesuke Daidoji Yuzan (1639-1730 AD)

Hagakure by Yamamoto Tsunetomo

 Tenets

Bushido expanded and formalized the earlier code of the samurai, and stressed frugality, loyalty, mastery of martial arts, and honor to the death. Under the Bushido ideal, if a samurai failed to uphold his honor he could regain it by performing seppuku (ritual suicide).  In an excerpt from his book Samurai: The World of the Warrior, historian Stephen Turnbull describes the role of Seppuku in feudal Japan:

 In the world of the warrior, seppuku was a deed of bravery that was admirable in a samurai who knew he was defeated, disgraced, or mortally wounded. It meant that he could end his days with his transgressions wiped away and with his reputation not merely intact but actually enhanced. The cutting of the abdomen released the samurai’s spirit in the most dramatic fashion, but it was an extremely painful and unpleasant way to die, and sometimes the samurai who was performing the act asked a loyal comrade to cut off his head at the moment of agony.

Bushido was widely practiced and it is surprising how uniform the samurai code remained over time, crossing over all geographic and socio-economic backgrounds of the samurai. The samurai represented a wide populace numbering from 7% to 10% of the Japanese population, and the first Meiji era census at the end of the 19th century counted 1,282,000 members of the “high samurais”, allowed to ride a horse, and 492,000 members of the “low samurai”, allowed to wear two swords but not to ride a horse, in a country of about 25 million.

Other parts of the Bushido philosophy cover methods of raising children, appearance and grooming, and most of all, constant preparation for death. One might say that death is at the very center of Bushido as the overall purpose- to die a good death and with one’s honor intact.

  Seven virtues of Bushido

The Bushido code is typified by seven virtues:

 “Gi” – The Right Decision. Rectitude.

“Yu” – Valor

“Jin” – Benevolence

“Rei” – Respect

“Makoto” – Honesty

“Meiyo” – Honor

“Chugi” – Loyalty

  Modern bushido

Some people in Japan as well as other countries follow the same virtues listed above under the philosophical term modern bushido. The idea was derived from the fact that the Japanese male should be able to adapt his beliefs and philosophies to a changing world.

In an excerpt of James Williams’ article “Virtue of the sword”, a fairly simple explanation of modern bushido can be found:

The warrior protects and defends because he realizes the value of others. He knows that they are essential to society and, in his gift of service, recognizes and values theirs… take the extra moment in dark parking lots at night to make sure that a woman gets into her car safely before leaving yourself. Daily involvement in acts such as these are as much a part of training as time spent in the dojo, and indeed should be the reason for that time spent training… When faced with a woman or child in a situation in which they are vulnerable, there are two types of men: those who would offer succor and aid, and those who would prey upon them. And in modern society, there is another loathsome breed who would totally ignore their plight!

The Schwartzchild Proton

by Nassim Haramein

hqdefault

We examine some of the fundamental issues related to black hole physics and the amount of potential energy available from the vacuum. We use a semi – classical analogy between strong interactions and the gravitational force under the Schwarzschild condition. We examine the role of the strong nuclear force relative to the gravitational forces between two Schwarzschild protons and find that the gravitational component is adequate for confinement. In an alternative approach we can utilize QCD to obtain similar results (work in progress). We also compare our results to a scaling law for organized matter and in particular, to the ubiquitous existence of black holes. We calculate the magnetic moment of such a Schwarzschild proton system and we find it to be a close approximation to the measured value for the so – called “anomalous” magnetic moment of the proton.

A State of Siege

by zen shaman

Boston goes into a state of siege over a 19 year old boy. It disgusts me. I have no words to describe my revulsion.

SMALL_bgackpackman

The following is from Dick Eastman:

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev  is innocent  — proven by photo  — he came with a backpack and he left with a backpack  — another man (see below)  came with a backpack, in coordination with similarly uniformed men, he was near the site of the bombing with backpack before the explosion and was captured by cameras leaving without that backpack  — the only backpack that exactly matches the bomb pack.(see above picture)

number2
If Debka.com is right and Tamerlan and Dzhokhar were hired by US as agents – and then changed their minds about the US afterward, then, I say, the following are likely true:
1.  Mossad knew about both his being hired and the defection from the CIA – as is likely to happen in Boston where other viewpoints about the US and the War on Terror are easy to run across and hard to refute.

2.  Dzhokhar Tsarnaey was referring to getting mixed up in espionage when we writes in his last facebook entry:

number3

FBI agent in charge says both bombs in black backpacks – photo is of black backpack — but Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s is white in every picture!!!!!

The photo and the FBI lead investigator says that both bombs were in black backpacks  –  see below  — BUT TSARNAEV’S BACKPACK IN EVERY SHOT OF IT  IS WHITE — except the shot released by the FBI to identify the “suspects.”

Don’t underestimate the importance of this.

Will someone watching a lot of news please tell me how this is being explained?

Details and photos establishing this follow:

At 2:49 p.m. EDT (18:49 UTC), about two hours after the winner crossed the finish line,[13] but with more than 5,700 runners yet to finish,[14] two bombs detonated on Boylston Street near Copley Square about 180 yards (170 m) apart,[15][16] just before the finish line.[11] The first exploded outside Marathon Sports at 671­673 Boylston Street at 2:49:43 p.m. EDT.[17] At the time of the first explosion, the race clock at the finish line showed 04:09:43.[18] The second bomb was located one block farther west at 755 Boylston Street and exploded at 2:49:57 p.m. EDT,[13][19] about 13 seconds after the first one.[3] fill the sidewalk behind race barricades after the explosions blow metal pellets and nails into victims’ legs. Race tents become makeshift trauma units.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation led the investigation, assisted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC), and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA);[57] treating the bombings as a terrorist attack and naming two alleged perpetrators officially as suspects.[42][58]

At the site of the explosion, investigators found shrapnel that included bits of metal, nails, and bearing balls,[35] as well as black nylon pieces from a backpack.[61] The lid of a Fagor-brand[62] pressure cooker was found on a nearby rooftop.[63] Investigators also found the remains of an electronic circuit board and wiring, possibly used as a timer of the bomb.[35] Rep.Mike McCaul said “most likely, gunpowder was used in the devices”.[64] All evidence was sent to the FBI Laboratory for analysis.[65] Both of the improvised explosive devices are reported to be pressure cooker bombs.[65][66]

Investigators believe the bombs were hidden in black nylon backpacks and housed inside sealable metal pots called pressure cookers. Pressure cooker bombs can help boost the power of relatively small devices by briefly constraining the blast. And when the cookers do explode, they can add large chunks of metal to the shrapnel spray. The IEDs have been popular with terrorists. Al Qaeda published a how-to recipe in an online Jihadi magazine. Several of the bombs were used in the 2006 attack on trains in Mumbai, India. At a news conference late Tuesday afternoon in Boston, FBI Special Agent in Charge, Richard Deslauriers, indicated that the range of suspect and motive is “wide open,” and that the investigation is still in its “infancy.” He also mentioned that the FBI had received about 2,000 tips as of noon as agents looked for any photographic or video evidence from witnesses.

number6

Deslauriers also said that both explosive devices appears to have been placed in a black nylon bag or backpack. A law enforcement source told CBS News senior investigative producer Pat Milton that investigators also found pieces of an electronic circuit board possibly indicating a timer was used in the detonation of the bomb.

Dick Eastman note:  The FBI released the ONLY picture in which you cannot tell that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is carrying a white backpack over his shoulder!!!!  Now we understand their selectivity and their reluctance to show more pictures to aid the manhunt.

number4

Without an arrest three days after the blasts, investigators at about 6 p.m. publicly release images of the two alleged bombing suspects taken from a Lord & Taylor department store surveillance camera.

The man who became known as “Suspect No. 1″ is wearing a black baseball cap, and “Suspect No. 2″ has a white baseball cap on backwards and is carrying a black backpack. Authorities say they suspect the dark backpack was left in front of the Forum Restaurant on Boylston Street on Monday and then exploded — the second blast.

number5

If the second explosion was the black backpack than Suspect 2  Dzhokhar Tsarnaev should not be a suspect at all.  His backpack was white.

bostonWhoIsThisGuy

WHO is THIS GUY??? LOOK 4 HIM !

 

Eastman Challenges FBI To Reply To The Following…

*  Tell me why you are ignoring my last postings?

*  And that Suspect 2′s backpack was WHITE while both bomb packpacks were BLACK according to FBI man in charge of investigation and the photograph of the 2nd bomb backpack.

*  Why did the government take all surveillance camera footage of the event?

*  Why haven’t authorities and Obama paid any attention to pictures taken by people at the site? (Because they will show Dzhokhar’s white backpack)

*  Why no name of anyone who saw the videos alleging that they say implicates Suspect 2 (Dzhokhar) have been given — and that the governor of Massashusetts who is supposed to be the authority himself was only briefed  — but they based their suspicion on a video that no one has seen that they say shows Dzhokhar “dropping” his backpack  — all phony.

*  Why the police chief of Watertown on Fox News last night “Greta” program said he could not say if Dzhokhar fired any shorts or whether he had any weapons at all  — while he was shot up from helicopter and ground  (look at the boat)…and that the chief thought it incredible that Dzhokhar got up

*  Why after stealing a car they let the driver go at a shell station unharmed

*  Why Dzhokhar most likely tried to contact the campus policeman he know to turn himself in to them  — after he found out that he was wanted — and that someone else shot the MIT campus police officer in the head to prevent that from happening

*  And there were those suspicous men in uniforms of black jacket and tan pants – one who had a large black backpack with a white square exactly like the one in the explosion — and that he was seen running after the explosion without the back pack he had  (in two different pictures)  — but that a later picture has him leaving the scene with a backpack

*  I ask you why you continue to pass information to me while ignoring very important and time sensitive evidence of US government complicity in a black op that frames these boys.

*  Tell me if you received the letters.

*  Tell me why you ignore them.

*  Tell my why you flood the internet with disinformation when you have been sent the information that needs to get out right now – before we reach a point when the public gives up and accept the falsehoods that the media is drumming into them.

A Clever Man May Miss The Mark

Published by Zen Shaman under Tao. Tags: .

Clever men may miss the mark

gravity waves

A good swimmer may sink; a good horseman may have a fall. That in which each excels may become an occasion of injury. Hence it is not impossible for the smart man of affairs not to hit the mark. The polemical person may meet with embarrassment, and the man who strives for gain may not get all he is after.

The might of the ancient (engineer) Kung Kung struck at the Pu Chou mountain and crumpled down the South Eastern corner of the Earth; yet in contending with Kao Hsin for the throne, he was overwhelmed in defeat, involving ruin to his clan and failure of succession to his family (for ancestral worship).

I, the king of Kuangtung, fled to the hills and dwelt in caves to escape being king; but the people smoked him out of his cave and he failed to consummate his own desire for retirement.

From these examples it is evident that success depends on opportunity (times) rather than on strength, (for preeminence), government (or action) should rest on the Tao rather than on the Sage. The ground is placed low and not high, hence it ever abides in peace, free from the dangers of a giddy height. Water flows down, the currents do not compete for precedence. So it flows swift, uninterrupted, undelayed

The Euro Legacy: In Greece, Children Pick Through Trash Cans For Food

by Tyler Durden

pg-26-greek-hospital-getty

“We have reached a point where children are coming to school hungry,” as with an estimated 10% of Greek elementary and middle school students suffering from ‘food insecurity’, the troubled nation has fallen to the level of some African countries. As the NY Times reports, unlike the US, Greek schools do not offer subsidized cafeteria lunches. Exacerbated by the austerity measures including cuts in subsidies for larger families, the cost has become insurmountable for many. With 26% of Greek households on an ‘economically weak diet’, children are starting to steal for food and picking through trash cans as they proclaim, “our dreams are crushed.” What is frightening is the speed at which it is happening, “a year ago it wasn’t like this,” as one family talks of the ‘cabbage-based diet’ which it supplements by foraging for snails in nearby fields. Programs are being started to help from wealthier Greeks, but as one parent said, “unless the EU acts, we’re done for.”

Via NY Times,

 As an elementary school principal, Leonidas Nikas is used to seeing children play, laugh and dream about the future. But recently he has seen something altogether different, something he thought was impossible in Greece: children picking through school trash cans for food; needy youngsters asking playmates for leftovers; and an 11-year-old boy, Pantelis Petrakis, bent over with hunger pains.

“Not in my wildest dreams would I expect to see the situation we are in,” Mr. Nikas said. “We have reached a point where children in Greece are coming to school hungry. Today, families have difficulties not only of employment, but of survival.”

Last year, an estimated 10 percent of Greek elementary and middle school students suffered from what public health professionals call “food insecurity,” … “When it comes to food insecurity, Greece has now fallen to the level of some African countries,” she said.

Unlike those in the United States, Greek schools do not offer subsidized cafeteria lunches. Students bring their own food or buy items from a canteen. The cost has become insurmountable for some families with little or no income.

… classmates are frequently hungry, she said, and one boy recently fainted. Some children were starting to steal for food, she added. While she does not excuse it, she understands their plight. “Those who are well fed will never understand those who are not,” she said.

“Our dreams are crushed,” added Evangelia, whose parents are unemployed but who is not in the same dire situation as her peers. She paused, then continued in a low voice. “They say that when you drown, your life flashes before your eyes. My sense is that in Greece, we are drowning on dry land.”

This year the number of malnutrition cases jumped. “A year ago, it wasn’t like this,” Ms. Perri, said, fighting back tears. “What’s frightening is the speed at which it is happening.”

Mr. Petrakis said he felt emasculated after repeatedly failing to find new work. When food for the family ran low, he stopped eating almost entirely, and rapidly lost weight.

“When I was working last summer, I even threw away excess bread,” he said, tears streaming down his face. “Now, I sit here with a war running through my head, trying to figure out how we will live.”

When the hunger comes, Ms. Petrakis has a solution. “It’s simple,” she said. “You get hungry, you get dizzy and you sleep it off.”

 

A 2012 Unicef report showed that among the poorest Greek households with children, more than 26 percent had an “economically weak diet.” The phenomenon has hit immigrants hardest but is spreading quickly among Greeks in urban areas where one or both parents are effectively permanently unemployed.

connectedanimation

People think we are separate from nature, and the animals and living creatures that live among us. this is false. that thinking is a product of the bifurcated mind, that mankind has suffered from for untold eons. It is my opinion this bifurcation, is caused from a tremenendous calamity that visited the Earth. That calamity was so truamatic, that man’s mind was split in two or more parts, with the ego being born, as a protective response to this great cataclysm that hit the earth. LOVE and COMPASSION, and realizing our one-ness of nature is the real state of mankind. Lets heal each other, heal our mind and spirits from this great schism, and recognize. Recognize that GOD and UNIVERSE are borne within us, and begin to move forward, to our natural destiny. This video is an example of the love and connectedness we should feel with all living things. much love and blessings to you, my brothers and sisters.  zen shaman

America needs a new war or capitalism dies~says Illuminati Bankster

Commentary: Low defense spending is killing jobs

monopoly

By Paul B. Farrell, MarketWatch

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (MarketWatch) — America needs a new war? For the economy to survive? Job market to revive? Capitalism thrive? Maybe. Here’s why:

Forbes reported that GDP data “fell for the first time in three and a half years in the fourth quarter … declining by an annualized 0.1%” while “economists had expected GDP to increase 1%. A dramatic 15% drop in government spending dragged on economic activity. Defense outlays were cut the most, falling by 22.2%, the largest decrease in defense since the Vietnam War’s end in 1972.”

Wars stimulate the economy and we are a warrior nation: Didn’t WWII get us out of the Great Depression? And the Iraq/Afghan Wars, longest in history, sure stimulated the economy … the Pentagon war machine doubled from $260 billion in 2000 to roughly $550 billion last year … GDP increased 50% from $10 trillion to $15 trillion … and federal debt tripled to over $15 trillion from under $5 trillion back when our leaders believed “debt didn’t matter.”

But most of all, wars are great for capitalists: Forbes list of world billionaires skyrocketed from 322 in 2000 to 1,426 recently. Yes the adjusted household income of the rest of Americans flatlined the past generation.

But still, life’s great for capitalism and for 1,426 capitalists across America and worldwide, a tribute to the “disaster capitalism” doctrines of Nobel economist Milton Friedman and Ayn Rand’s free-market capitalism dogma.

American politicians conflicted, cut debt but not the war machine

However, with the Afghan and Iraq Wars winding down, capitalism needs an economic stimulus: a new war. It’s so American: Neocons believe a new war would boost GDP. They must be praying North Korea’s Lil’ Kim will do something impulsive. Give us an excuse.

Yet Washington politicians are conflicted. Some want to shrink government, cut debt and are cheering the “dramatic 15% drop in government spending.” On the other hand, the “largest decrease in defense since the Vietnam War’s end in 1972” is unnerving neocons, warhawks and politicians heavily dependent on defense contractors, lobbyists and voters at military bases in their districts.

So what’s next? If American capitalism needs a new war to survive … if we’re slowing down the Afghan and Iraq war theaters … if North Korea’s just saber-rattling … if China has too much to lose … if new wars are fought by drones from video screens in one of the Pentagon’s 70 drone bases … but if all the military-industrial complex capitalists who get rich off wars are still itching to attack … then who will trigger a new war for America’s “disaster capitalists?”

10 unpredictable flash points where new global wars can ignite

Although black swans are by definition unpredictable, there are 11 hot-spot pressure points already ramping up global tension and conflicts. And suddenly, the pressure can easily spark over the line, hit a flash point, and be ignited by any one of multiple unpredictable events that suddenly explode, and spread like a virus to all 10.

Then capitalist warhawks can take advantage of it, as they did by linking 9/11 with launching the Iraq War. So yes, in Worldwatch Institute’s report we see at least 11 challenging black swan hot spots that could surprise and ignite new wars:

Here’s Worldwatch’s blunt challenge: “Planet’s Tug-of-War Between Carrying Capacityand Rising Demand: Can We Keep This Up?” No: The planet’s “shrinking resources” cannot satisfy the exploding population’s “growing demand for food and energy.”

Why? It’s “impossible, we can’t keep this up.” Robert Engelman warns: “Rising trends will not last forever. They can’t.” The world will collapse under epidemics, famines, warfare.

When? A decade ago the Bush Pentagon predicted that “by 2020 there is little doubt something drastic is happening,” they told Fortune. “As the planet’s carrying capacity shrinks, an ancient pattern of desperate, all-out wars over food, water, and energy supplies would emerge … warfare is defining human life.” 2020 is dead ahead.

The coming capitalist wars reminds me of fighting depicted in the brutal “Hunger Games” movie. A perfect metaphor. With over one billion of seven billion people in the world living on two dollars a day … with accelerating food and commodity prices pushing more humans and emerging nations over the edge … with rising real food shortages, real hunger, real malnutrition, real starvation, real poverty … with the living standards of developed nations demanding an ever-increasing share of ever-scarcer resources … we see Worldwatch’s 11 vital signs as hot spots and black swans that can easily ignite rebellions, revolutions and full-scale wars in the near future……………..

The Age of Revealing

by Michael Tsarion

tsarion

…the final goal of world revolution is not Socialism or even Communism, it is not a change in the existing economic system, it is not the destruction of civilization in a material sense; the revolution desired by the leaders is a moral and spiritual revolution, an anarchy of ideas by which all standards set up throughout nineteen centuries shall be reversed – Nesta Webster (Secret Societies and Subversive Movements, 1921)

Benjamin Disraeli, the first Jewish Prime Minister of Victorian Britain, wrote in his novel Coningsby: “The world is run by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes.” Disraeli was obviously aware that our world is controlled by powerful secret societies and fraternal orders whose agendas and goals have little to do with our best interests. Although these orders do not necessarily conceal their identities, they do endeavor to conceal what goes on behind the doors of their various lodges and establishments. Elite members of the Alpha Lodges of Freemasonry do not wish to have information about their strange practices, rites, and agendas to be publically disclosed. They manufacture many strategies and devices to ensure secrecy. As one Masonic author reveals:

Freemasonry is labyrinthine. It is full of puzzles, conundrums, misspellings, corruptions, cryptic clues, and simple salutes, childish codes, contrivances, circular paths, roads that sometimes lead nowhere, walls appearing to be ten feet thick yet giving way easily to the lightest touch in the right spot, riddles to be solved, numerous passwords, an allegorical, highly symbolical, double-entendre storyline worthy of the best latter-day spy writers, protected by secret signs and symbols and a myriad of enigmas to be confronted…In the labyrinth that is Freemasonry there is a center where rests its holy grail. Many have tried to find it only to reach dead ends – Leon Davin (The Ritual: The Greatest Story Never Told)

In The Irish Origins of Civilization, we expose the true origins and agendas of the world’s most powerful secret societies. We also expose the origins and agendas of the religions that secret society elites have given birth to. We demonstrate how the arch-conspirators at the top of the power pyramid have expertly used both religion and politics to further their antihuman objectives. Essentially, our work informs the reader of certain vital occult facts that are for the most part unknown to members of secret societies. The true origins and agendas of the Masonic Order, Knights Templars, Rosicrucians, and Illuminati, and so on, are carefully guarded secrets:

 The Blue Degrees are but the outer court…of the temple. Part of the symbols are displayed there to the initiate, but he is intentionally misled by false interpretation. It is not intended that he shall understand them, but it is intended that he shall imagine that he understands them…The true explanation is reserved for the Adepts, the Princes of Masonry (those of the 32nd and 33rd degrees) – Albert Pike

These good folk swell our numbers and fill our money-box. Set yourselves to work; these gentlemen must be made to nibble at the bait…But this sort of people must always be made to believe that the grade they have reached is the last – Adam Weishaupt

Disraeli was not the only man to remark on the Machiavellian agendas of those who work to change the course of humanity’s fate. In her rambling and voluminous writings, occultist and Fabian, Alice A. Bailey, laid out the facts:

Behind the division of humanity stand those Enlightened Ones whose right and privilege it is to watch over human evolution and to guide the destinies of men…This they do through the implanting of ideas in the minds of the world thinkers, so that these ideas in due time receive recognition and eventually become controlling factors in human life. They train the members of the New Group of World Servers in the task of changing these ideas into ideals. These in turn become the desired objectives of the thinkers and are then taught to the powerful middle class and worked up into world forms of governments or religion, thus forming the basis of the new world order

The Capitalist Conspiracy

gedwardgriffin

From Wikipedia:

G. Edward Griffin (born November 7, 1931) is an American film producer, author, and political lecturer.[1] He is perhaps best known as the author of The Creature from Jekyll Island (1994), a critique of much modern economic theory and practice, specifically the Federal Reserve System.

Starting as a child actor, he became a radio station manager before age 20. He then began a career of producing documentaries and books on often-debated topics like cancer, Noah’s ark, and the Federal Reserve System, as well as on libertarian views of the Supreme Court of the United States, terrorism, subversion, and foreign policy. Since the 1970s, Griffin has promoted laetrile as a cancer treatment,[2] a view considered quackery by the medical community.[3][4] He has also promoted the Durupınar site as hosting the original Noah’s ark, against skeptics as well as near-Ararat Creationists. He has opposed the Federal Reserve since the 1960s, saying it constitutes a banking cartel and an instrument of war and totalitarianism.[5] In 2002, Griffin founded the individualist network Freedom Force International.

Men Who Stare at Photons

by Dean Radin

By its discernment of connectedness within every domain of the physical world, the Electric Universe progressively breaks down the boundaries between “normal” and “paranormal.” Now it calls for consideration of phenomena that have been rigorously investigated for over a century. The phenomena studied include direct interactions between minds, and between minds and matter, now confirmed through rigorous experiments.

Dean Radin is Senior Scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences and author of over 200 articles and three books: The Conscious Universe
