Today, is a day to ponder where we were before 9/11/2001 and where we are now. It is a day for both reflecting what is behind us, and what is ahead.

What has become of  our society in the last decade?  What and who will we be in the decade ahead? Is it still worth the fight to get people to “see”, since most are content to “go along to get along”?

During our recent vacation, I had several conversations with interesting people about the status of U.S. healthcare and the mess we have gotten ourselves into by trusting that “The Doctor Knows Best.” All of them — mixed ages, different countries and most with very successful backgrounds — said, “Well, you have to trust someone and doctors *are* the experts. I can’t learn medicine {or how to take care of myself} on my own.”

When asked, “What about freedom of choice, the freedom to choose your treatment?” They all agreed that freedom to make personal health decisions was a good thing, but in the end, everyone should defer to the “expert” and follow the advice of their doctor.

When asked, “What about freedom of choice in vaccination??” ALL of them said, “Oh you MUST listen to your doctor on this one! Children must be vaccinated to be healthy.”

Sigh… Anger… Grief… Sigh…

What did General Robert E. Lee feel, Southern war hero and postwar icon of the “Lost Cause of the Confederacy”, when he had given his all but still had to concede defeat? What  did he think as he reflected on the bloody battlefields, where thousands of young men had lost their lives for naught?  After 150 years, vestiges of Sherman’s March to the Sea — which scorched and destroyed everything along the way — can still be seen across Georgia.

War creates permanent changes to the topography. The war being waged against our health will do the same. Only a few seem to be aware that this is going on; fewer still are trying to revolt. Worse, a heavily financed group exists that is not only celebrating the carnage, but orchestrating to make it so.

Humanity is headed for extinction through the manipulation of our children’s DNA and immune system. Vaccination begins at birth, and in many cases, before birth by the vaccination of pregnant mothers. The vaccines deliver the first crushing blows to the human genome, followed by GMO food, aspartame, fluoride, pesticides, BPA, and perchlorate — and many others — as a child begins to eat. One by one, humans are insidiously being made into life time customers of the drug companies, thanks to the “experts” who say are these products are not only “safe and effective” but necessary.

It has been good to be out of the country for a while. Travel gives an opportunity to have a different perspective, to look back AT your country and to listen/read what others are saying about our politics and our choices. The rest of the world can clearly see that the U.S. is losing ground on every single front: politically, economically, medically. Our clean food, our robust health, our sovereignty seems to be going into the history books. Every day, graphs and charts are displayed to prove their point.

I know you can run, and can’t hide, but living quietly outside the U.S. is gaining more appeal every day. It’s the difference between watching battles on TV and being in the middle of the gunfight. I feel a handful of warriors have done their very best to lead the troops (parents and children) away from vaccination and out of harms way, including those who have anonymously talked to everyone in their personal world.

But having the right to choose what healthcare you want also means having the right to be vaccinated. It appears most are still opting to pollute their children with foreign matter, following the expectation of their pediatrician “expert.” There is little more to be said that hasn’t been hashed and re-hashed about the problems caused by vaccines. If people don’t get it by now, likely they never will. And pro-vaccine forces are putting together a battle unlike anything we have seen to date, to force us to participate.

Today, on 9-11, it seemed appropriate to post one of the most important, thought provoking articles ever written by my dear, late friend, Don Harkins, called “Slavery and the Eight Veils,” written in December, 2001.

The future is in your hands. Will you choose to see beyond the veil? What will your world look like in the years ahead?

Slavery and the Eight Veils, by Don Harkins

Over the last several years I have evolved and discarded several theories in an attempt to explain why it is that most people cannot see truth — even when it smacks them in the face. Those of us who can see “the conspiracy” have participated in countless conversations amongst ourselves that address the frustration of most peoples’ inability to comprehend the extremely well-documented arguments which we use to describe the process of our collective enslavement and exploitation. The most common explanation to be arrived at is that most people just “don’t want to see” what is really going on.

Extremely evil men and women who make up the world’s power-elite have cleverly cultivated a virtual pasture so green that few people seldom, if ever, bother to look up from where they are grazing long enough to notice the brightly colored tags stapled to their ears.

The same people who cannot see their enslavement for the pasture grass have a tendency to view as insane “conspiracy theorists” those of us who can see past the farm and into the parlor of his feudal lordship’s castle.

Finally, I understand why.

It’s not that those who don’t see that their freedom is vanishing under the leadership of the power-elite “don’t want to see it” — they simply can’t see what is happening because of the unpierced veils that block their view.

All human endeavors are a filtration process. Sports is one of the best examples. We play specific sports until we get kicked off the playground. The pro athletes we pay big bucks to watch just never got kicked off the playground. Where millions of kids play little league each spring, they are filtered out until there are about 50 guys who go to the World Series in October.

Behind the first veil: There are over six billion people on the planet. Most will live and die without having seriously contemplated anything other than what it takes to keep their lives together. Ninety percent of all humanity will live and die without having pierced the first veil.

The first veil: Ten percent of us will pierce the first veil and find the world of politics. We will vote, be active and have an opinion. Our opinions are shaped by the physical world around us; we have a tendency to accept that government officials, network media personalities and other “experts” are voices of authority. Ninety percent of the people in this group will live and die without having pierced the second veil.

The second veil: Ten percent of us will pierce the second veil to explore the world of history, the relationship between man and government and the meaning of self-government through constitutional and common law. Ninety percent of the people in this group will live and die without having pierced the third veil.

The third veil: Ten percent of us will pierce the third veil to find that the resources of the world, including people, are controlled by extremely wealthy and powerful families whose incorporated old world assets have, with modern extortion strategies, become the foundation upon which the world’s economy is currently indebted. Ninety percent of the people in this group will live and die without having pierced the fourth veil.

The fourth veil: Ten percent of us will pierce the fourth veil to discover the Illuminati, Freemasonry and the other secret societies. These societies use symbols and perform ceremonies that perpetuate the generational transfers of arcane knowledge that is used to keep the ordinary people in political, economic and spiritual bondage to the oldest bloodlines on earth. Ninety percent of the people in this group will live and die without having pierced the fifth veil.

The fifth veil: Ten percent of us will pierce the fifth veil to learn that the secret societies are so far advanced technologically that time travel and interstellar communications have no boundaries and controlling the actions of people is what their members do as off-handedly as we tell our children when they must go to bed. Ninety percent of the people in this group will live and die without having pierced the sixth veil.

The sixth veil: Ten percent of us will pierce the sixth veil where the dragons and lizards and aliens we thought were the fictional monsters of childhood literature are real and are the controlling forces behind the secret societies. Ninety percent of the people in this group will live and die without piercing the seventh veil.

The seventh veil: I do not know what is behind the seventh veil. I think it is where your soul is evolved to the point you can exist on earth and be the man Ghandi was, or the woman Peace Pilgrim was-people so enlightened they brighten the world around them no matter what.

The eighth veil? Piercing the eighth veil probably reveals God and the pure energy that is the life force in all living things-which are, I think, one and the same.

If my math is accurate there are only about 60,000 people on the planet who have pierced the sixth veil. The irony here is too incredible: Those who are stuck behind veils one through five have little choice but to view the people who have pierced the veils beyond them as insane. With each veil pierced, exponentially shrinking numbers of increasingly enlightened people are deemed insane by exponentially increasing masses of decreasingly enlightened people.

Adding to the irony, the harder a “sixth or better veiler” tries to explain what he is able to see to those who can’t, the more insane he appears.

Behind the first two veils we find the great majority of people on the planet. They are tools of the state: Second veilers are the gullible voters whose ignorance justify the actions of politicians who send first veilers off to die in foreign lands as cannon fodder — their combined stations in life are to believe that the self-serving machinations of the power-elite are matters of national security worth dying for.

Third, fourth, fifth and sixth veilers are of increasing liability to the state because of their decreasing ability to be used as tools to consolidate power and wealth of the many into the hands of the power-elite. It is common for these people to sacrifice relationships with friends and family, professional careers and personal freedom with each veil they pierce.

Albert Jay Nock (1870-1945), author of “Our Enemy, the State” (1935), explained what happens to those who find the seventh and eighth veils: “What was the best that the state could find to do with an actual Socrates and an actual Jesus when it had them? Merely to poison one and crucify the other, for no reason but that they were too intolerably embarrassing to be allowed to live any longer.”

And so now we know that it’s not that our countrymen are so committed to their lives that, “they don’t want to see,” the mechanisms of their enslavement and exploitation. They simply “can’t see” it as surely as I cannot see what’s on the other side of a closed curtain.

The purpose of this essay is threefold:

1. To help the handful of people in the latter veils to understand why the masses have little choice but to interpret their clarity as insanity;

2. To help people behind the first two veils understand that living, breathing and thinking are just the beginning and;

3. Show people that the greatest adventure of our life is behind the next veil because that is just one less veil between ourselves and God.

I recently completed, “The Magic of Believing.” What a marvelous little book. Originally written in the 1920s, the message is as relevant today as ever. Near the end, the author mentions a series of women who made their mark in history and have been long forgotten (since we don’t study history any more). I’ve made a list of pioneering women who forged paths for so many around the globe. In reading the biographies of these brave women, their stories inspire respect and appreciation.

I’m really enjoying “Gertrude Bell: Desert Queen: The Extraordinary Life of Gertrude Bell: Adventurer, Adviser to Kings, Ally of Lawrence of Arabia.”  Gertrude Bell was an English writer, traveller, political officer, administrator, archaeologist and spy who explored, mapped, and became highly influential to the formation of Iraq. Born in 1868, this a bold, Victorian woman defiantly turned her back on the status quo and traveled to the Middle East to live by her own rules. She has inspired me to be braver, more determined, stronger than ever. Her message, “Care not about the opinion of others – even family and closest friends — when you know your right and your are changing history,” reinforces my resolve to fight to retain our right to refuse mandatory vaccination.

“One Woman’s Crusade”, is book I really appreciate. It is the biography of Alice Paul, detailing her bravery, leadership and dogged determination to ensure women obtained the right to vote, a seven-decade quest. Adept at generating constant newspaper coverage and public attention for the campaign to adopt the legislation, Paul understood that ever-greater spectacle and sensation were needed to keep the suffrage issue in the forefront of the public’s mind. Her tactics escalated despite fierce criticism from everyone, including the President of the United States. Her conviction was so strong, she was willing to go to prison for her stance on the right to vote.

How sad that in barely two generations, we’ve mostly forgotten these strong women and the trail blazing they did for us. How disappointing we have lost our sense of adventure, our ability to stand up against the status quo (a pediatrician is intimidating? Really?).  Few of us would publicly fight for — or go to jail over — the right to refuse the injection of foreign matter into our body and into our children. We need to have some of Alice Paul’s guts and become adept at her tactics for fighting the vaccine industry. Sadder still…most of us don’t even bother to vote.

This morning, I read about Vera Nyman. Another tenacious Victorian woman, she was widowed at age 26. Left destitute in the early 1920s, she sold household products door-to-door to survive. Her customers repeatedly asked for a product that would clean walls. Instead of simply saying none was available, an idea was sparked. She poured through chemistry books at the public library and spent evenings mixing concoctions in her bathtub. After five years, she found eleven chemicals that could be distilled into a blue liquid that would harmlessly clean walls. When no one would loan her money, she gave more than 50,000 personal demonstrations to housewives who then wanted to buy her product. She mixed and sold small quantities as the orders came in. Three years later, she borrowed $100 (about $1200 today), rented an abandoned speakeasy and lived in her factory to minimize expenses. Her company, Soil-Off Manufacturing, soon sold millions of dollars of product annually. And she refused to sell it when a drug company made her an offer. Would women (or men) today be that persistent, that determined, have that much staying power, to see their dream through to success?

We can’t have the country we want by emailing and faxing Congress, asking them to pass reasonable laws. Legislators are corporate puppets and the laws are trending against us. We can’t have the world we want through perpetual wars, fighting invisible enemies, using guns and indiscriminant force. Governments have multiple times more bullets than we could possibly own and more force than we could ever muster. And their minions are instructed to follow orders, arresting those who protest. 

So what can we do?

We can change our country AND the world by shifting our thoughts and raising our beliefs to a higher vibration. This requires more than just positive thinking. “Trying to be positive” with a negative belief system is akin to putting a patch on an old wine skin and expecting it to hold new wine. If you’ve tried the Law of Attraction and claim it doesn’t work, it’s because what you want doesn’t line up with your belief system about having it.

Do you regularly invest time and money in yourself? Do you devote at least 1 hour a day to pruning your belief system, managing your thoughts, nurturing your personal growth? Do you believe you can be, do and have ANYTHING you want? Do you think big and dream expansively, knowing You Can Do It, or are you expecting “the government” to have the answers?  Do you have the tenacity of Gertrude Bell, Alice Paul and Vera Nyman to do whatever it takes to have a life, a country and a world full of prosperity, health and freedom, for yourself and your children – and your children’s children?

What have you done lately to improve your life and your circumstances? Have you read “The Magic of Believing” or “The New Psycho-Cybernetics” by Maxwell Maltz, MD?  Have you completed the recommended exercises in those books, such as creating a physical dream board, imaging everything on your board is already yours?  Do you have a burning desire to achieve all you want from your life? Or are you letting life have its way with you, turning you into a negative, skeptical, naysayer?

This Memorial Day weekend, while we remember and honor those who have given so much, let’s work together to create a new world. Let’s start by making a list of what WE WANT to experience instead of focusing on what we don’t have and what we don’t want.

  • Instead of redistributing wealth, let’s activate the creative power within each of us to become as wealthy as we want to be.
  • Instead of depending on a government-designed healthcare system for relief, let’s embrace the notion that all healing comes from within. Take simple steps. Change your diet. Drink more water. Improve your sleep patterns. Do a thorough Spring-cleaning and eliminate all thoughts and emotions that prevent you from being healthy and keep you dependent on prescription drugs.
  • Instead of blaming the economy for current financial circumstances, know that the prosperity you want, wants you…but it will only become a reality when it resonates with your core belief about money.

Thoughts are things. Words have power. Eliminate any stinkin’ thinkin’ you may have – get rid of words, thoughts and belief patterns that hold you back. True, lasting change comes from within. Decide TODAY that by this time next year – a mere 365 days from now – you will be living a life of your dreams. 365 days are going to come and go anyway. Why not create a plan, blaze a new trail, focus on a goal you want to achieve. Let the lives of these brave women strengthen your convictions. Let the memories of the past propel us to a new future. Success is a decision away.  Let’s start now.

 

I don’t usually wade into political waters, but this deserves a note. Gov Perry from Texas is now getting into the presidental race for 2012. He is in the pocket of Merck. He remains the first and only governor in the US to try to force Gardasil vaccines, injections for 9 year old girls. He withdrew this mandate under a firestorm of revolt in Texas and across the country. This article lays it out in full detail.

How soon we forget…

(From the CDC) As of June 22, 2011, approximately 35 million doses of Gardasil were distributed in the U.S. and VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) received a total of 18,727 reports of adverse events following Gardasil vaccination: 17,958 reports among females and 346 reports for males, of which 285 reports were received after the vaccine was licensed for males in October 2009.

Deaths: As of June 22, 2011 there have been a total 68 VAERS reports of death among those who have received Gardasil® . There were 54 reports among females, 3 were among males, and 11 were reports of unknown gender. There have been 32 confirmed deaths and 36 remain unconfirmed due to no identifiable patient information in the report such as a name and contact information to confirm the report.

If there were this many reported adverse events from a supplement or vitamin….or even a medication, would it still be on the market? It has been estimated that only between 1 and 10% of all adverse events are reported.

Independence Day, celebrated on the Fourth of July, is the federal holiday set aside to reflect on what has transpired in the 235 years since we severed our relationship with the Kingdom of Great Britain.  Our long weekend is generally celebrated with fireworks, parades, barbecues, picnics, baseball games at family reunions. The news is peppered with political speeches and photo ops for local and national politicians.

The tone of the celebrations seems different this year, because from Sea to Shining Sea, our circumstances in 2011 are different.  We have flooded farmlands in the North, tornado-decimated cities in the South, hundreds of thousands of acres of scorched land in the West. Nuclear plants in New Mexico and Nebraska and New Jersey are tottering on the edge of a disaster. The number of unemployed persons (13.9 million) and the unemployment rate (9.1 percent) has remained essentially unchanged for months.  The national debt, at more than $14 trillion, is choking our economy and crushing the future of future generations.  And we still have more than 140 thousand American troops in the deserts of the world fighting faceless enemies without clearly defined outcomes. All that makes for a somber holiday.

Many cities have cancelled their expensive fireworks displays, stating “it seems like the right thing to do” in light of budget cuts, layoffs and closures. Our national government should be doing the same thing. A report that came out this week called “The Cost of US Wars since 9/11”, states,

In the 10 years since U.S. troops went into Afghanistan to root out the al-Qaida leaders behind the Sept. 11 attacks, the spending on the conflicts totaled between $2.3 trillion and $2.7 trillion. Those numbers will continue to soar, when considering often overlooked costs such as long-term obligations to wounded veterans and projected war spending from 2012 through 2020. These estimates do not include at least $1 trillion more in interest payments coming due and many billions more in expenses that cannot be counted, according to the study.”

So, what can we do?

I truly believe in what Napoleon Hill said decades ago, “you get what you think about most of the time.” What if we changed our future by focusing on what we want for our life, for our country and from our politicians, instead of focusing on continually negative news? What if we stopped being absorbed with what we don’t want, and instead believed in our ability to create want we do want? What if we worked collectively to raise the spirit and outlook of our family and friends, our nation and our planet through optimism, happy thoughts and your personal form of prayer?

To again acknowledge Napoleon Hill, his timeless book was titled, “Think and Grow Rich”, not “Work hard and Die Poor.” What if we actively sought to participate in upbeat activities and avoided pesimistic friends, colleagues and family members?

Where to begin?

How about starting with a few good and inspirational books, even if you only read a few pages a day. Join organizations that make you feel good – a garden club, a rowing club, a travel club. I’ve joined the Global Information Network; it has changed my life and my outlook in countless ways. Volunteer a few hours a week at a senior center, a day care or a animal shelter.  Take a leap and explore new hobbies outside your comfort zone – ballroom dancing, fencing, sign language. Find a hero or you can look up to — and become someone’s hero by finding someone to mentor.

On this Independence Day, a reflection on what our Founders intended for our country is in order. But much more importantly, take a few minutes to choose activities that make you happy. Washington’s politicos have gotten us to where we are; it is up to us, as individuals, to chart the course of where we’re going.

These solutions are free!  The only cost is the time set aside to visualize a phenomenally good outcome for the year ahead. Happy Holiday!

Here’s an estimated amount that we, the taxpayer paid, for the non-pandemic:

A report released yesterday by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) offers yet another review of lessons from the federal government’s response to the H1N1 influenza pandemic while detailing how the government spent, and is still spending, $6.15 billion that was appropriated for the response.

And this is the amount we, the taxpayer paid , to build new flu shot factories:

The price-tag for federal investments in new flu vaccine technology has been difficult to get a handle on, but yesterday in a review for Congress the Government Accountability Office (GAO) put the number at $2.1 billion since fiscal year 2005.

What if we’d paid this much toward bio-medical treatments for vaccine injured children and adults? How much did we pay for vaccine injuries, such as seizures and miscarriages, and how much will we pay for life time autoimmune and neurological illnesses?

Oh….I guess they won’t be calculating those costs.

Afterall, who wants to know?
