You are aware of the planned accessing of funds to help the good people in Texas and Florida; that will happen. And that is the start of a bigger dispensation. The banks can't in good faith withhold funds when the need is that great!!!
They can but they better will not.!! The opportunities for many levels of designated funds to occur has never been better than it is right now. We know; yes, indeed, that the scarcity of funds continues to haunt the good man trying so hard to hang in there. Be that as it may, he's doing a great job and he means the world to a better place for all of people. He has not one minute of greed in him. This why he was chosen for the job that he does. He's taking things to a fault but that's who he is. - He knows that some how some way things do come through and often when he least expect it. Therefore, we can say that the magic of manifesting is one that he has honed in well.
The opportunities that all of you have to make a difference will soon be right in your laps. And that we can say with a smile. You are far closer than you even think. There are the many watching the legal ends of all of this and can spot abuse when it happens. And there has indeed been some very questionable abusive type behaviors.
Now for the gold! The good news is that the spigots are beginning to open and the flow isn't so strong but the movement in that direction has picked up speed. Just understand again and again please that it takes a lot of people to make things in the pipelines push on through.
We wish we could pinpoint the day and the hour. That isn't even realistic. Can't do that.. Keep on hammering and it will and is coming through....P....

Dear Community,
We certainly are waiting for our "Once in a Lifetime Event"..... each week the rumors fly like lighting ... "In 24 hrs. release of the RV," the PP's are to be delivered on Friday, Saturday"...."The new gold backed money will be announced at 6:p.m. on CNN and on and on it goes...Oh and don't forget this comes from " A Very High Source.".
The agenda for these rumors is sinister to say the least. The philosophy behind this behavior is pretty self evident to keep them in turmoil....keep them in chaos and uncertainty.
This is the time for much inner strength of character and constant patiences and must of all "Please Keep Your Faith". There is much moving forward...
Namaste,
Susan

HI ALL
VERY SOON, AND LIKELY THIS WEEK, SOME ANNOUNCEMENTS ARE TO TAKE PLACE BESIDES SOME OF THE LARGER RELEASES. THE LAST TWO WEEKS HAVE BEEN HARSH BEHIND THE SCENES AND A LOT OF POSITIONING AND BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THE GOOD GUYS AND EVERYBODY ELSE.
AND EVEN AS THIS IS ALL HAPPENING IN THE CURRENCY WORLD AND THE HISTORIC ASSETS, I HAVE RECEIVED DOCUMENTS DESCRIBING SOME OTHER TRANSACTIONS THAT WILL BE COMPLETING THIS WEEK. I CAN ONLY SAY I AM VERY GRATEFUL THAT WE ARE RECEIVING FUNDS FORM SOURCES THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CURRENCY AND ASSET WORLDS.
EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE SET OUT TO DO IN RESPECT OF HELPING OUT HUMANITY WILL BE DONE, AND WE ARE PREPARING TO GET OUR OFFICES SET UP. EVERYBODY WAITING FOR THE PROCESSING OF THEIR PROJECTS CAN REST ASSURED THAT THEY WILL BE PROCESSED VERY VERY SOON NOW.
ONE THING WE WERE TOLD IS THAT THE OTHER SIDE DOES NOT WISH TO SEE THE RV TAKE PLACE, AND THEY DO NOT WANT TO SEE ANY PROJECTS BEING DONE.
OF COURSE, THE GURUS OUT THERE ARE REALLY PUSHING THE ENVELOPE AND SAYING ALL KINDS OF THINGS, SOME OF WHICH IS PRETTY ACCURATE. SOME NOT SO MUCH. I WAS COMPELLED TO SPEAK TO THE FOLLOWING:
Here's some advanced Intel you might find interesting...
8,000 Quints were paid out via SKRs on boxes of HB's starting yesterday in HK. That's 21 zeros if you're keeping score at home.
AND SO FAR NOBODY HAS SEEN A DIME.
No loose bonds were satiates yet as of Saturday morning, but they are finally clearing off that old 26,000 SKR slate right now. For example pledged Human Angel loose historical bonds have been waiting to be satisfied via an SKR since 2013.
FYI: Loose bonds by definition were historical bonds that were pulled out of original delivery boxes in small numbers and then sold for personal gain by individual sovereign family members. That's a big no-no in Elder keeper world.
CORRECT. THIS IS WHY BONDS FLOATING OUT THERE IN INDIVIDUAL HANDS WITHOUT THE PROVENANCE ARE CONSIDERED STOLEN PROPERTY. HOWEVER, THE ELDERS HAVE DECIDED TO REDEEM THESE TO SOME MEASURE.
Many Dragons of many colors were individually reprimanded the world over for engaging in this less than honorable practice.
POINT IN FACT. THERE ARE NO MORE DRAGONS OF MANY COLORS. THESE STRUCTURES WERE COLLAPSE AND THE ONLY DRAGON LEFT STANDING IS THE GOLDEN ONE.
And by reprimanded I mean jailed or handed a hari-kari sword. Their choice.
USUALLY THEY DROP DEAD FROM AN APPARENT HEART ATTACK EVERY MONDAY. I DO NOT KNOW WHY THEY DO THIS ON MONDAY, BUT THERE IT IS.
Remember, everybody in this sovereign world is chalked. Including ole Yo-Yo.
NO. AND HE IS CALLED YE YE (GRANDFATHER IN CHINESE). HE DOES NOT BOUNCE UP AND DOWN.
So if you're thinking of doing something stupid here at the end... like buy desperate people's currency for next to nothing and flip it... don't. Trust me, your activities are being monitored pre-RV and you'll stand out like a priest in a whore house post-RV on the new quantum system.
CORRECT. EVERYBODY IS BEING WATCHED IN THIS CIRCUMSTANCE. THE ELDERS ARE LOOKING FOR THE RIGHT HEARTS, NOT GREEDY SWAMPERS.
Also, there is no 80/20 split if you take the screen rate in the ZIM. Unless you want a sovereign rate and thus create your own split.
IT IS MORE LIKE 99/1 WITH 99 FOR PROJECTS. THE NUMBER OF ZEROS DEMAND THAT.
The humanitarian split comes into play only if you ask for more than the screen value of all currencies as they are all going to rise not fall over time.
ACTUALLY EVERYBODY WILL BE SUBJECT TO STRICT GOVERNANCE REGARDLESS. SAY YOU GOT A TRILLION ON YOUR EXCHANGE. DO YOU REALLY THINK THEY WILL ALLOW YOU FREE REIGN OVER THAT MONEY? OR WILL THEY CONTROL IT FOR FEAR OF YOU GOING OUT AND BUYING A COUNTRY OR SOMETHING. COMMON SENSE MUST PREVAIL. [What will prevail is opening of our hearts to ONLY do positive things with our funds.]
The reason is simple arbitrage.
The Elders will be issuing RV currencies at a lower amounts than their true audited value, in essence buying low to sell high back to the world banking community over several decades--hence they will actually be earning off all the 100 million global redemptions regardless of the face values on each of the redeeming currencies... at any in-take amount. Swish that one around in the old noggin. But wait... there's more!
HMMMMM....NICE THOUGHT BUT REALITY WILL BE A TAD DIFFERENT.
All currencies redeeming at both higher and lower redemption values given new rates, will all be exchangeable in physical gold should you know to ask. For just as the Elders are paying for crude oil in gold now, so to must they pay for all currencies in gold.
YES THERE IS SUFFICIENT GOLD TO BACK ALL THE CURRENCIES, BUT HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH THE FIAT BUBBLE? I DO NOT SEE THIS MENTIONED HERE, AND THAT BLOW-UP WILL DESTROY ECONOMIES. ANOTHER PLAN IS IN PLACE FOR THAT ONE FORTUNATELY, BUT SELDOM DO I SEE ANYBODY ADDRESSING THAT ELEPHANT. IT MUST BE HIDING IN A CHERRY TREE.
Thus all transactions worldwide must be settled in gold at the end of every business day--how's that for a transition of financial consciousness?
THAT WOULD BE COOL, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE FIAT CURRENCIES THAT ACTUALLY DRIVE ECONOMIES. IF A COUNTRY GOES 100% GOLD BACK, THEN THEY ARE LIMITED IN THE AMOUNT OF CURRENCY THEY CAN PRINT. IT IS FINITE. IF THEY NEED ANY MORE MONEY TO TAKE CARE OF SOME NATURAL DISASTER, OR NEED NEW SEWAGE INFRASTRUCTURE, HOW DO THEY PRINT MONEY TO TAKE CARE OF THAT IF THERE IS NO GOLD LEFT TO BACK THEIR CURRENCY? GO TO HASBRO AND ASK THEM TO PRINT SOME COLORFUL PAPER NOTES? AGAIN NOBODY CARRIES THE THREAD TO THE END, JUST THE NICE AND CUDDLY FRONT END. [The benevolent hearts of exchangers/redeemers will come forth for disaster relief. No need to rely on government (a good thing0 and their FEMA nonsense.]
The caveat to such transactions is that one must receive said gold in Shanghai, as gold once entered into Chinese territory may never leave the borders of China. It just shifts title and ownership.
HMMM...I HAVE TO CHECK THAT ONE OUT AS IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE IF CHINA IS TO BE ONE OF THE MAINSTAYS OF GLOBAL CURRENCIES.
On a poetic note... isn't the RV like living a magnificent dream?
Life once a horrible nightmare, now blossoms into a prophetic and surreal experience of heavenly grace manifested?
Saddle up and sign up Human Angels... (<http://www.humanangelservices.com/> ) our time to fly is now, as only together can we heal the soul of the world. Sobeit.
CORRECT. I AGREE WHOLE HEARTEDLY THAT ONLY TOGETHER CAN WE GET THE WORK DONE.
THE REAL BOTTOM LINE IS THAT YES THE FUNDS ARE BEING RELEASED, BUT IN A VERY MEASURED AND CONTROLLED MANNER SO AS NOT TO DISRUPT WORLD ECONOMIES. EVEN 1 BILLION CASH MOVING FROM ONE COUNTRY TO ANOTHER IS VERY DISRUPTIVE. THIS IS WHY THERE ARE MOVEMENT RESTRICTIONS ON CURRENCY.
THE GCR IS IN FULL SWING. SO IS THE RV. WHETHER THE PUBLIC WILL SEE RESULTS IS A BATTLE RIGHT NOW BETWEEN THE ONES THAT WISH PROSPERITY FOR ALL, AND THOSE THAT WISH TO KEEP CONTROL. TIME WILL TELL WHICH IT WILL BE.
THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE IS A GOOD ONE FROM THE FOLKS THAT CALL THEMSELVES DRAGONS, AND IT IS FULL OF HOPE. REMEMBER THAT HOPE KEEPS US ALIVE AND KICKING AND MOVING FORWARD.
Message from the Dragons for September 17, 2017
We are the dragons and we wish to speak with you today regarding the acceleration of energies currently hitting your planet from afar. They are intense. You are going to be experiencing many different symptoms of this which is a normal part of the acceleration as it enfolds the light into your dense 3D form into the cellular matrix as it transforms and transmutes it into the crystalline form. For all is unfolding at a rapid pace as it should, as it was foretold in legends of old when the Earth and her subjects will rise again embracing the light. This is why it is so important for you now earthlings, dear bearers of the light and light encodements, that you share this with Gaia daily - hourly with your intention. Every breath you share these upgrades with her and with her elemental kingdom who are keeping things running behind the scenes and transmuting at a rapid rate - they need this energy of light codes to further assist and energize their efforts for the needs are many.
The darkness is fighting with its last breath and soon its breath will be snuffed out and the light will reign supreme again as it should be and as it is destined to be! Claim your victory, warriors of old, for the new day - the new dawn is here. Embrace it. It is time to extend your hands in service and exchange your weapons for tools -practical tools to further service of all, for the greatest good of all must become your new mantra for that is the new energy frequency vibrationally that you must align with for that is the new paradigm and construct on which you must build! That is why you are here in this Now moment.
Be fearless. We see your great inner strength and desire to offer yourselves in service to humanity and Earth's kingdoms and we commend you. We offer ourselves and our services to further assist you as well. We are great healers and transmuters and are most pleased when you ask for our assistance. The realms are merging. The veil is thinning. Your sight is becoming more lucid and all is in process of being revealed. The great lie can no longer sustain itself for the energies needed no longer exists. That should stir your hearts in triumphant accolades! Proclaim it, for it is so.
We are nearby offering our service and support. We honor you. We bow to you great ones of light.
We are the Dragons
BESIDES THESE NICE DRAGONS, THERE ARE OTHERS IN THE REALMS THAT WISH THE SAME FOR US. WE ARE MULTI-DIMENSIONAL BEINGS THAT ARE IN [4] DIMENSIONAL BODIES THAT CAN ACTUALLY HAVE PHYSICAL SEX (THERE IS NO SEX UPSTAIRS AS THERE ARE NO SUCH APPENDAGES OR ORGANS TO PERFORM SEX) [Not true. However, new souls are created by intension with Creator not in a womb.] IN A SENSE WE ARE REALLY LUCKY IN THAT RESPECT AS SEX IS A JOY UNTO ITSELF, AS WELL AS THE RESULTS IN A CHILD. NOTHING LIKE THAT UP THERE.
THEY HAVE DIFFERENT RULES UP THERE, ONE OF THEM BEING THERE IS NO LYING. EVERYBODY TELLS TRUTH. THE REALMS ARE HUGE AND QUITE POPULATED. OUR LEVELS ARE PRETTY WELL EMPTY AS THEY ARE JUST WAITING FOR US TO GET WITH IT, RAISE CONSCIOUSNESS, GET ENLIGHTENED, AND JOIN THE PARTY UP THERE. WE CAN STILL MAINTAIN THE 3D BODY AND THAT IS THE UNUSUAL ASPECT OF HUMANS - THAT ABILITY. [Not true. Ascension will being us a liquid crystal body.]
ONE OF THESE DAYS PERHAPS I WILL DO A MESSAGE ON UPSTAIRS AND MY EXPERIENCES WITH OTHER BEINGS. IT WAS AN EYE OPENER, BUT NOT THAT UNUSUAL. THE STORIES THAT ABOUND HAVE SOME CORRECT INFORMATION, BUT FOR THE MAIN PART THEY ARE NOT VERY ACCURATE. BUT THEY ARE INTERESTING STORIES.
THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I CHUCKLE AT SOME OF THE CHRISTIAN AND ISLAMIC DOGMAS WHERE THEY DESCRIBE FANTASTIC THINGS THAT DO NOT EXIST AND/OR DID NOT HAPPEN. IF THEY ONLY KNEW...AND ONE DAY THEY WILL.
THE ONE THING IS THAT THE CENTRAL POWER OF EVERYTHING UP THERE AND WHAT COMPOSES THE COSMOS IS THE ENERGY OF LOVE. IT FLOWS THOUGH THINGS, AND IS PART OF EVERYTHING. GOD IS LOVE. WE ARE PART OF GOD AND GOD IS A PART OF US. WHEN THAT UNDERSTANDING TAKES PLACE, MAGIC HAPPENS BUT MOSTLY JOY.
I HAVE TO WRAP IT HERE AS CHINA IS OPEN AND WORK AWAITS. WE ARE GETTING OUR RELEASE IN THIS WEEK AND WE WILL BEGIN THE WORK. IT IS A VERY BUSY TIME THIS CHINA MONDAY WITH MANY MANY THINGS TO BE DONE TO GET THE RELEASES DONE THIS WEEK AND GET THE PROJECT SIDE UP AND RUNNING.
OH YES, WE ARE STILL STRUGGLING A BIT UNTIL THIS HAPPENS, SO YES WE ALL NEED A LITTLE HELP STILL.
AND TO ANSWER A QUESTION, YES I WILL BE IN BEIJING VERY SOON BROTHER, AND WILL SEE YOU IN XIAN AFTERWARDS. WE WILL MEET AGAIN.
MUCH THANKS AND GOD BLESS.
IN UNCLUTTERED GRATITUDE.
LOVE AND LIGHT
IN OUR SERVICE

Texas is carpet bombing hurricane victims with neurological poisons
Texas is carpet bombing hurricane victims with neurological poisons
The State of Texas is using military cargo planes to chemtrail / "carpet bomb" its own citizens with neurological toxins.
This is all openly admitted by Texas authorities, who ridiculously claim these same chemicals that kill living organisms are magically harmless to honey bees and humans.

This Wizard is one of my favorite inventions for explaining “life in this reality.”
The Wizard is always busy pointing out What Is. “This is, and then over there, that is, too. Don’t ignore this other thing that is…”
On and on and on.
The Wizard of Is surveys the world and the universe and says, “Here it all is. This is what will eliminate the need for you to invent your own world.”
Translation: “It will keep you in a beautiful prison forever, because all roads lead through a maze that takes you back to the beginning, where you started.”
The Wizard of Is does everything he can to convince you that What Already Is is your best option, your destiny, your home of homes.
After that, you only have to find your place in it. The Wizard is very good at cooking up mumbo-jumbo about you needing a particular place and how, when you find it, things fall together and click together for you.
“We’re making this endless TV series called Reality and there are many roles available. If we can find your best role, you’ll fit it like a glove, and then you’ll be happy.”
The Wizard then makes sure to indicate that challenging What Is is a very difficult road. It opens you up to all sorts of dangers, he says. The Wizard has lots of experience in wielding the stick and the carrot.
What are some of the characteristics of What Is? It’s always there. You can always see it and look at it and get involved with it. It’s like a vast painting in a museum—except you walk into it and live there. It’s made for you. It’s apparently seamless—once you’re inside it. It doesn’t break down and reveal rips in its fabric. It endures.
You can approach it from many angles—political, economic, social, medical, military, scientific. But above all, What Is is a Continuum, which is to say it’s an interlock of space-time-energy. It all fits together. Each aspect enforces and confirms every other aspect.
The idea of exiting from it seems absurd. You’re there, and there you will stay. Your job is to fit in, to find your place, your role, your destiny.
A great deal of Wizard-of-Is propaganda surrounds it. For example, you have no capacity to exceed its parameters. You can make use of technology to explore and manipulate certain pieces of What Is, but without technology you’re lost. Therefore, those who supply you with technology are your masters.
The Wizard states that he is your guide. He’ll help you navigate What Is to your advantage. This is your best option. Your only option.
All of this is a highly sophisticated form of hypnosis.
The Wizard says, “You don’t want to think too much about What Is. It’ll lead to disillusionment. You’ll feel depressed. You won’t know what to do. You need to accept What Already Is. All happiness stems from that.”
But acceptance is half a meal. It’s unstable. It breaks down. In time, the devotee finds himself at sea, cut off from his own creative power, unwilling to exercise it, for fear that he’ll overstep his mandate as a human being.
This makes the Wizard rejoice. It’s his device, his con.
Some years ago, I was interviewed by a host who urged me to talk about the Matrix. But with every step I took, I could see in his rushed agreement all the signs that he was becoming more and more uncomfortable.
He was looking for a conclusion, a wrap-up that would confirm his hypnotized belief in What Is.
It was, all in all, quite amusing. He was saying yes, yes, while he was thinking no, no. He wanted the Wizard of Is, that’s all.
So I introduced the idea of the Wizard. Then, I really saw him go into internal paroxysms. He looked like he was about to fall off his perch.
He was dedicated to systems all the way down. He wanted to be surrounded and comforted by a structure that would eliminate the need for him to do anything—while he pretended that was not the case.
I said, “Look, if you really like systems, invent your own. You don’t have to be living under the umbrella of someone else’s.”
I saw a small light go on in his eyes.
“That’s interesting,” he said slowly.
After the interview, he took me aside and told me, “You know, I rarely think about a new idea on these shows. I’m pretty much up to speed on everything. But maybe I can dump that Wizard you talked about…”
The Wizard isn’t forever. He just acts as if he is:
“DON’T IMAGINE. DON’T CREATE REALITY. JUST KEEP LOOKING AT WHAT ALREADY IS. THIS IS AND THAT IS. JUST KEEP LOOKING AT WHAT IS…KEEP LOOKING…”

Open Wide Screen MARVELOUS EARLY AMERICAN PHOTOGRAPHY
This is an incredible collection of tinted photochromes from the dawn of the 19th century hiding away in the Beinecke rare books and manuscript library. Published by the Detroit Photographic (which no longer exists), the firm’s photographers travelled the country snapping the sights of North America to be printed on postcards and sold to the public.
Gold’s Curio Store, Santa Fe, New Mexico, circa 1897. This was the first Indian curio business established in Santa Fe. The ramshackle old adobe building with wood carrying burros in front of and or around the corner on Burro Alley made this innovative curio shop on San Francisco street a favorite subject for photographers of the late 19th century. Jake Gold, a brilliant salesman, cast himself as a man worthy of a souvenir portrait card as a moustached, frilly leather jacketed rugged frontiersman complete with a muzzle-loaded pistol stuck in his braided sash belt. He was equally colorful in discourse, “The tourists want to hear tales, and I am here to administer the same.”– Wilford’s Trading Post
The Old South Church, Boston, 1900.The second oldest church building in Boston, built in 1729. During the siege of Boston, the British gutted it, burned the pews, and used the building as a riding school. Old South survived fires in 1810 and 1872, and was destined for demolition in 1875 when concerned citizens stepped in, formed an Old South Association, and raised the money needed to save the building. Today, the association continues to operate Old South as a museum. It is the site of lectures, meetings, concerts, plays, and church services. The steeple now contains an 876-pound bell cast by Paul Revere in 1801. Hooked up to the 1766 tower clock, it rings out the time on the hour, reminding Bostonians of an earlier era. – Walking Boston
Circular Bridge, Mt. Lowe Railway 1897-1924. It was “the grandest scenic trip on earth”; an enchanting and world-famous mountain railway journey to a vast resort where champagne and caviar was served along with panoramic views over southern California as far as the Pacific Ocean. this railway hasn’t existed since 1936 when it was abandoned following a series of natural disasters and bad business decisions. The pride of California’s once most scenic attraction has been all but lost and wiped off the map. Hikers who only have access to the former railway resort by foot, will find nothing but ruins, a few steps and other clues, basic stone foundations of the old luxury hotels and rusted metal remains from the railway. More pictures can be found on the Mount Lowe Preservation Society.
Cliff Palace, Mesa Verde, from the Ruins, 1904. Cliff Palace is the largest cliff dwelling in North America. The structure built by the Ancestral Puebloans is located in Mesa Verde National Park in their former homeland region. More info here.
Temple Square, Salt Lake, 1898. Built as a Mormon temple in 1847, the Temple is owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and located in the center of Salt Lake City, Utah. Attracting 3 million to 5 million visitors a year, Temple Square is the most popular tourist attraction in Utah, bringing in more visitors than the Grand Canyon or Yellowstone National Park with its museums and libraries. Official site here.
Box Canyon, Ouray, Colorado, 1904. You can still visit this 285 foot waterfall, with quartzite walls that extend almost one hundred feet past the falls.
Lick Observatory, Mt. Hamilton, California, 1902. The world’s first permanently occupied mountain-top observatory. Mount Hamilton site remains a viable location for a major working observatory. The little town of atop the mountain has its own police and a post office, and until recently a one-room schoolhouse. By 2013, with continuing budget and staff cuts there remain only about nineteen residents and it is common for the observers to work from remote observing stations rather than make the drive, partly as a result of the business office raising the cost to stay in the dorms, the swimming pool has been removed. In 2013, one of Lick Observatory’s key funding sources was scheduled for elimination in 2018, which many worried would result in the closing of the entire observatory. In November 2014, the University of California announced its intention to continue support of Lick Observatory.– Wikipedia / Lick website.
The Cliff House, San Francisco, California. 1899. Boasting the best views in San Francisco, this seven story Victorian mansion built in 1896 by Adolph Sutro, survived the 1906 earthquake but was destroyed by fire 1907, eleven years after being built. Four different variations of the Cliff House have now stood on the cliffs overlooking Seal Rocks, and it has held restaurants, dance halls, gift shops and vista points. It is now a restaurant and looks quite different today.
Home of Rip Van Winkle in Sleepy Hollow, Catskill Mountains, 1902. People used to stop at the Rip Van Winkle house on the long trip to the Catskill Mountain House. The Mountain House Road and the Rip Van Winkle house began a steady demise in 1892 when the Otis Company built an inclined railway up the mountainside to the Catskill Mountain House. It burned to the ground around 1918.
Take heart from your efforts and use your intentions to help all humanity complete this test of Spirit and come out of it victorious!

Selamat Balik! Progress towards prosperity continues to be made. All procedures are moving along as planned. What we intend to discuss with you at this time is the growth of higher consciousness within every one of you. When Heaven set about to forge a new earthly reality, the main strategy was simply to ensure that your overall spiritual awareness continued to grow until it approached an agreed-upon threshold. When reached, it was to be a sure sign that a general global disclosure was drawing near. Nevertheless, it was to be taken as a grand portent of change.
In this context, we realized that the old powers-that-be were truly reaching the end of "their rope" Accompanying this, you are developing a greater readiness to undo the many beliefs taught by your parents and friends. Our intention is for a new collective to take place in which you can begin to become comfortable with new spiritual realities. These new growing realities are to permit peace, personal sovereignty and greater social responsibilities to grow and eventually to take hold globally. It is what Heaven knows as the beginnings of a 'new you'.
The purpose of this update is to simply clarify a number of key points. Higher consciousness, as you can well imagine, is a most complex subject. What is now occurring is a sequence of reality shifts that Heaven dearly wishes to make known to you. The series of changes we have noted in previous posts is allowing you to work collectively toward peace and to establish new governance. In this new Light Heaven is in the vanguard. These adjustments are at the same time allowing for this growing consciousness to be applied properly. How they are created is what is currently spreading across the globe.
Your collective actions are forcing a new reality to form that will eventually turn out much differently from that which the old reality offered. It is this new reality that deeply concerns both Heaven and us. The present sets of impasses are merely illusory. We are more concerned with ensuring that all will conclude as divinely planned. Thus, we simply implore that your visualizations allow all the remaining obstacles to be quickly resolved. The end point as noted is the steady pace of your collective consciousness. It is this that is to swiftly solve all that presently frustrates you.
Blessings! We are your Ascended Masters! We come today filled with hope and intention. The relentless series of soreness arising throughout your body is now declining. This decline is yet another sign that the former ways of your body are coming upon a new way. It is not easy to function while being constantly burdened with a multitude of aches and pains. In this, please take heart that you have faithfully passed yet another internal test. We graciously give thanks for your inner strength and resiliency.
Know as well that your wondrous Spirit is progressing favorably with the many transformations you are now encountering. We have watched faithfully and seen how marvelously you are permitting your growing consciousness to shape you. These results and numerous others show just how much you are changing. We simply request that you keep up the good work. We Masters acknowledge what a truly difficult body of work you are collectively accomplishing. This joint vision that you are holding gives us inspiration for all you are achieving.
Marvelous events are indeed on your horizon. What we simply ask is for you to remain calm and continue to hold your collective vision. Heaven is in the process of rewarding you for your many ever-growing positive qualities. As this present reality alters, your countless positive characteristics can be most useful to your divine cause. So take heart from your efforts and use these intentions to help all humanity complete this test of Spirit and come out of it victorious! We applaud you, for this is what we truly desire for you all! Hosanna! Hosanna!
Today we have kept you up to date by conveying the special experiences we have often discussed with you. In this regard, never forget that the never-ending and countless supply of Heaven is really yours! Selamat Gejun! Selamat Ja! Sirian for Be One and Be In Joy!) So Be It! It is time for all to come to fruition!

Climate change science hoax now unraveling... software models "totally wrong"
A new science paper authored by many of the very same people who first sounded the alarm over global warming now admits the warming software models were wildly inaccurate.
The "doomsday" predictions of the climate software models have now been revealed to be deceptive and dishonest. In truth, carbon dioxide emissions are not having nearly the doomsday impact we've all been told.
This is now being openly admitted by climate change scientists in papers published in mainstream science journals.

10 Toxic skincare product ingredients to watch out for The beauty industry is as diverse as it is massive. Hundreds of brands from all over the world have flooded the market with tons of beauty and skincare products. Some of these ...
“I met with one nutritional-supplement-company president, a self-involved oaf who bragged about his expensive tastes, his vacations, his large house. His main advice (he didn’t back my campaign with a donation) was to see his tailor and have him make me a high-priced suit.”
by Jon Rappoport
Ultimately, I believed vote fraud occurred in my 1994 run for a seat in the US Congress, from the 29th District in Los Angeles. I’ve written and spoken about that elsewhere.
This article is about something else.
I was running at the height of the so-called Health Freedom movement in America. My primary issue was the right of every person to manage his/her own health. The right to have access to the full range of nutritional supplements (under attack by the FDA). The right to consult alternative health practitioners (the FDA was attacking those practitioners). The right to know the full truth about toxic medical drugs. The right to refuse medical treatments. The right to have the FDA prosecuted for criminal collusion with drug companies.
The Health Freedom movement spawned more letters to Congress than any issue in the history of America. Several nutritional companies were backing the movement with money.
Eventually, during my campaign, I saw what was happening. Although millions of Americans wanted all those rights I just listed, and were becoming more aware of the extreme dangers of the medical/pharmaceutical cartel, the inside backers of the Health Freedom movement and their core “agents” wanted something very specific.
They wanted to pass the federal Hatch Bill, which would, they said, offer protection to the American public—people would continue to have access to the full range of nutritional supplements, and the FDA attacks would stop.
The Hatch Bill eventually passed and became federal law. But as a few smart attorneys knew and warned, the Bill had loopholes, and the FDA would still be able to throw up roadblocks against supplement companies.
My efforts, as a candidate, were much wider. I wanted a full-scale exposure of the crimes of the FDA. I pushed this issue. Hard.
The nutritional supplement industry backed away from my campaign (with one notable exception). They thought I was going too far. They wanted that Hatch Bill passed, and then they wanted to go home and continue business as usual.
I met with one supplement-company president, a self-involved oaf who bragged about his expensive tastes, his vacations, his large house. His main advice (he didn’t back my campaign with a donation) was to see his tailor and have him make me a high-priced suit.
At a high-level meeting of Health Freedom advocates, a silky smooth character I’d never heard of rambled on in New Age lingo about the “consciousness” of our cause. He emphasized how we all needed to have “cosmic tolerance” of the opposition. This wasn’t a hippie. He was a pro. His obvious job was to soften our actions and, of course, focus on getting the Hatch Bill passed.
My purpose was to ignite a popular movement in America that would take the FDA and pharmaceutical players to the wall. This was no pipe dream because, as I mentioned above, Americans were writing millions of letters to Congress. There was a chance of launching this movement out into new territory and putting enormous pressure on media and government, over an extended period of time.
But the nutritional supplement industry, and its leaders, wanted no part of this. They had their lobbyists and friends in Congress, and they wanted a typical inside push to pass a Bill. That’s all.
Near the end of my campaign, I saw that what I really was doing (without the necessary backup) was mounting a public relations force for the truth. A few of us were working in this direction. At the time, we didn’t fathom all the tools and support we needed. We were learning on the job.
We were staging a Broadway play without backers in a theater we couldn’t afford.
In the aftermath, there was a grand opportunity for depression. I had zero interest in that. For me, depression has always been too depressing.
I had learned a great deal about bait-and-switch, and about how agents infiltrate an operation (the overall Health Freedom movement).
It was my first experience in seeing, up close and personal, New Age thinking deployed to deplete energy, erase moral outrage, and promote endless conversation as a way to postpone action. In its more extreme version, New Age thinking has the goal of making people feel guilty about their own anger. It’s quite a fabrication. It’s mind control.
Because, of course, anger based on truth is a virtue. A high virtue. It takes a tower of bullshit to dampen it down. Learning to use anger is a skill. I could write several volumes on the subject.
During my campaign, I had a conversation with a little New Age messenger. I told him he was fronting for a new version of The Fall. He was, in effect, proposing that the Original Sin is Moral Outrage. I talked to him until he started to sweat. He walked away. He’s probably working as a minor bureaucrat in a government agency these days.
As I wrote the other day, there is a huge hole within groups who are seeking to spread actual truth the media refuse to cover. These groups have zero knowledge of public relations and how they can use it.
When you launch a broad campaign over time, the first thing you need to realize is: there is no precise algorithm that tells you when you’ve reached a critical mass of awakened minds. You won’t know that until you see it happening. But when it does happen, all sorts of interesting and even spectacular effects occur.
This isn’t cosmic magic. This isn’t the cosmic hundredth monkey. This is pure WAKE UP. This is large numbers of people wondering what the hell they were dreaming about before. All sorts of outbreaks of WAKE UP can happen simultaneously.
The blanket of fake reality starts to tear and fall apart.
This is real public relations, not the fake brand aimed at promulgating lies.
It’s a necessary prow of the ship. On board, the group has its lawyers and lobbyists and organizers—and all of a sudden the actions of those people begin to yield new results.
As an example, I would say the worldwide movement to expose the truth about vaccines and enact new protections and ensure the right to refuse is a fraction of the way there. “There” means: enough people who WAKE UP. Maybe the movement is 5% there right now.
You could say it’s losing or winning, but those estimates are far less important than the fact that the WAKE UP is expanding.
Without virtuous moral outrage, it will sink back and become diffused and vague.
Movements that succeed don’t have sickly glazed grins on their faces, and they don’t signal placid “universal tolerance” that “embraces the opposition.” That’s pure jive.
This is one lesson I learned during my campaign.
There were many others. Other stories for another time…
—I can’t resist mentioning one final irony. Out there in the world, there are some alternative health practitioners who are proponents of Health Freedom…and at the same time, they counsel their patients that “all anger is destructive to health.” These patients must “rise above their anger.” This advice couldn’t be more wrong or naïve. No, as I said, the whole idea is to learn how to use virtuous anger to achieve the WAKE UP in self and others. THAT’S HOW YOU RISE ABOVE ANGER. YOU DON’T RISE ABOVE IT BY SLAMMING THE DOOR ON IT AND OPTING FOR MAGNANIMOUS TOLERANCE FOR ALL POINTS OF VIEW. SLAMMING THAT DOOR CAN MAKE PEOPLE SICK.
Learning to use anger requires having skills beyond the ability to get angry. Mindless anger is grotesque. Cultivating more and more anger is grotesque.
Moral outrage is real. Yes, there are fools and criminals who put on the cloak of moral outrage to rationalize their immoral actions, but I’m not talking about that.
I’m talking about people who try and try to make themselves immune to moral outrage, thinking it’s going to earn them a gold star on the universe’s blackboard.
That self-administered vaccine is putting them to sleep.

I do not understand how living in a country with its democracy established over 200 years ago, and now, for the first time in history, suddenly we have one of our former presidents set up a group called "Organizing for Action"
-
(OFA ).
OFA - 30,000 strong working to disrupt everything that our current president is trying to do. This goes against our Democracy, it is an operation that will destroy our way of governing. It goes against our Constitution, our laws, and the processes established over 200 years ago. If this is allowed to proceed then we will be living in chaos very much like third world countries are run. What good is it to have an established government if it is not going to be respected and allowed to follow our laws? If this does not scare you, then we are in worse trouble than you know.
It is explained below. Do your part: read it and at least pass this on so others will know what we are up against. We are losing our country and we are so compliant. We are becoming a "PERFECT TARGET" for our enemy! Article from the New York Post - If you had an army some 30,000 strong and a court system stacked over the decades with judges who would allow you to break the laws, how much damage could you do to a country? We are about to find out in America!
The ex-president said he was going to stay involved through community organizing and speak out on the issues and that appears to be one post-administration promise he intends to keep. He has moved many of his administration's top dogs over to an organization called Organizing for Action ( OFA ). OFA is behind the strategic and tactical implementation of the resistance we are seeing across America, and politically active courts are providing the leverage for this revolution.
OFA is dedicated to organizing communities for "progressive" change. Issues are gun control, socialist healthcare , abortion, sexual equality, climate change, and of course, immigration reform. OFA members were propped up by the ex-president's message from the shadows: " Organizing is the building block of everything great we've accomplished. Organizers around the country are fighting for change in their communities - and OFA is one of the groups on the front lines. Commit to this work in 2016 and bey ond ."
OFA's website says it obtained its "digital" assets from the ex-president's re-election effort and that he inspired the movement. In short, it's the shadow government organization aimed at resisting and tearing down the Constitutional Republic - AMERICA
Paul Sperry, writing for the New York Post, says OFA will fight President Donald Trump at every turn of his presidency and the ex-president "will command them from a bunker less than two miles from the White House." Sperry writes that the ex-president is setting up a shadow government to sabotage the incoming administration through a network of non-profits led by OFA , which is growing its war chest (more than $40 million) and has some 250 offices nationwide. OFA IRS filings, according to Sperry, indicate OFA has 32,525 volunteers nationwide. The ex-president and his wife will oversee the operation from their home/ office near the White House.
Think about how this work - for example: Trump issues an immigration executive order; OFA signals for protests and statements from pro-immigrant groups; ACLU lawyers file lawsuits in jurisdictions where activist judges obstruct the laws; volunteers are called to protest at airports and Congressional town hall meetings; the leftist media springs to action; the twitter sphere lights up with social media; violence follows - all emanating from the ex-president's signal that he is heartened by the protests.
If Barack Obama did not do enough to destroy this country in the 8 years he was in office, it appears his future plans are to destroy the foundation on which this country has operated on for the last 241 years.

I'm not putting any judgement into any of this regarding Ben Fulford. However, I found several "points for thought" here, that kind of hit home, especially about the terms "America", "U.S.", etc.
“…the “U.S.” is not America… America is the paramount security interest holder and Priority Creditor of not only the “U.S.”… but also all the corporations that have chartered under them.
“America— meaning the American states and people — is the richest country on Earth and by far the greatest Creditor. America owns all the Territorial and Municipal Governments worldwide including CHINA and JAPAN. And all the corporations that have been formed under the auspices of all these Territorial and Municipal Governments.
“This means that when America pulls the chain, the rest of the countries on this planet need to own up to their own debts to us — not the “U.S.” meaning the cesspool in the District of Columbia— which is the responsibility of the Pope and the British Monarch.
“It’s the “U.S.” that is bankrupt — well and deservedly so — and it is the problem of the British Monarch and the Pope that it is, because the “U.S.” is now and always has been a separate and foreign entity from the American states and people…
“Wake up, Ben. And wake up all your buddies in the White Dragon Society. You are dealing with three separate entities here on this continent — two of which, the Territorial United States and the Municipal United States are bankrupt — and one which is the Priority Creditor of the whole planet.
“The American states and people have always been separate and sovereign entities and we are not responsible for the debts of the Territorial and Municipal United States. We are instead their Priority Creditors.”
I am sick of this constant — and irresponsible — rant that the “U.S. is the most indebted nation in history”—- which somehow neatly avoids the point that the “U.S.” is not America and that America is the paramount security interest holder and Priority Creditor of not only the “U.S.” — meaning the profligate Municipal and Territorial Governments, but also all the corporations that have chartered under them.
America— meaning the American states and people — is the richest country on Earth and by far the greatest Creditor. America owns all the Territorial and Municipal Governments worldwide including CHINA and JAPAN.
And all the corporations that have been formed under the auspices of all these Territorial and Municipal Governments.
Try to think of a major commercial corporation that has not been chartered under the auspices of either a Territorial or Municipal Government worldwide? You will have a very hard time doing that, because the only other option is a Common Law Charter, and those haven’t been commonly used since the 1700’s.
This means that when America pulls the chain, the rest of the countries on this planet need to own up to their own debts to us — not the “U.S.” meaning the cesspool in the District of Columbia— which is the responsibility of the Pope and the British Monarch.
A lot of people have been buying into this “Boo-Hoo! America is dead! America owes everyone money! America is bankrupt!” bull and the fact of the matter is that America is the Priority Creditor of the entire world.
It’s the “U.S.” that is bankrupt — well and deservedly so — and it is the problem of the British Monarch and the Pope that it is, because the “U.S.” is now and always has been a separate and foreign entity from the American states and people, operated under the auspices of the British Government (Territorial United States) and Holy See (Municipal United States).
So if they owe China money, here’s a wake up call — they owe us money, too, and a helluva lot more than they owe China. And we can still blow the planet sky-high if anyone really doubts that or wants to argue it.
Wake up, Ben. And wake up all your buddies in the White Dragon Society. You are dealing with three separate entities here on this continent — two of which, the Territorial United States and the Municipal United States are bankrupt — and one which is the Priority Creditor of the whole planet.
Now that you have that straight, go tell the Chinese and the Europeans and the Pope and the Queen and the World Bank and the World Court. Turns out that the lawful American Government still exists, albeit, operating primarily in the international jurisdiction of the land.
We have spent the past hundred years rebuilding the world and we have no wish to destroy it for the sake of debt, most of which is illusory anyway, but in the same token, we are not gilding any lilies and not allowing people to mistake us for the “U.S.” anymore.
The American states and people have always been separate and sovereign entities and we are not responsible for the debts of the Territorial and Municipal United States.
We are instead their Priority Creditors.
The American Government is not the “U.S.” Government and never has been.

To my friends in Australia: the vaccine war deepens
by Jon Rappoport
The string of abuses laid on citizens of Australia by their government grows almost week by week.
Now, parental rights to raise children, without interference from the State, is under a new form of attack. This must be resisted.
Schools are bringing doctors on board, as a permanent feature. Young children will be subjected to medical diagnoses and treatment, without consent or approval from parents, even if those parents actively object. The State is stealing the role of guardian.
The Herald Sun reports. Read carefully:
“DOCTORS will have the power to treat students as young as 12 in schools even if parents refuse their consent.”
“GPs will consult at 100 Victoria high schools for up to one day a week as part of a $43.8 million program.”
“Guidelines released on Thursday show that even if a parent ‘expressly states’ that a doctor should not [examine] their child, the GP can if they deem the teen mature enough.”
“’Any student who wants to see the GP will be permitted to make an appointment,’ the policy said.”
“The GP will decide if the young person is mature enough to provide consent to any medical treatment for the prevailing issue.”
A young child “giving consent?” This is supposed to be “informed consent” when facing off with an adult doctor?
The handwriting is on the wall. Multiple vaccines will be given, to “bring children up to State standards.” This whole operation is, in fact, a front for forced vaccination. That’s the goal.
But it doesn’t stop there. The covert plan will eventually, if not sooner, include psychiatric diagnoses of so-called “mental disorders.” ADHD, clinical depression, bipolar, and so on. Followed by toxic drugs. Ritalin, Paxil, Zoloft, Prozac, Lithium. It’s a parade of toxicity.
I have demonstrated, over and over, that NONE of these so-called mental disorders are based on diagnostic lab tests. They’re pseudoscience.
I would be quite willing to show this and debate this with any Australian doctor or bureaucrat. Head to head, live on Skype.
Is that a challenge? You bet.
The whole medical takeover of parental roles in Australia is on the move. This is naked State force. Nothing less.
“Doctors in schools” is a wedge, a first step in the door, a first boot on the face.
The propaganda is: “We doctors know best. We have the science. Parents are ignorant. We must protect the children. Public safety overrides parents raising their own children and making the important decisions.”
Get it? See the picture? The State is ripping away the natural right of parents to raise their own children.
It’s called a Medical Police State.
If you, as a parent, had some random doctor enter your house and demand to vaccinate, diagnose, and drug your children—and IF that doctor weren’t backed up by the State with all its coercive powers—if he were just a lone individual claiming he could do whatever he wanted to, to your children, you would throw him out without a moment’s hesitation.
Therefore, what we’re looking at here is force, that’s all. Not science, not freedom, not rights. Force. That’s the bottom line.
If some lone doctor, without force behind him, walked into your house and said he was going to inject your children with a neurotoxin called aluminum, and a toxin called formaldehyde, and a toxin called Polysorbate 80, and several germs—all standard components of vaccines—you would halt the proceeding immediately and investigate this ominous situation. You’d be crazy not to.
Where does all this stop?
I’ll tell you where. Nowhere. It doesn’t stop. Doctors, acting as agents for the State, are going to sink their hands into your lives deeper and deeper. Give an inch, they take a mile.
This is a war against you, your children, your family, and all families. This is what unchecked government does.
It says it cares, and then it wreaks destruction.
Do not let the long, long night descend.

Puerto Rico direct hit by Hurricane Maria... was it deliberate?
Puerto Rico direct hit by Hurricane Maria... was it deliberate?
Ever wonder why this intense string of hurricanes just happens to strike the highest population density areas when they make landfall?
Puerto Rico just took a direct hit. The power grid is wiped out. Casualties are mounting, and I've just completed an interview with Dane Wigington of Geoengineering Watch who says these hurricanes are being deliberately "steered" into their intended targets.
That's why Harvey, Irma and now Maria are doing so much damage, he says. The interview is posting in 2-3 days, but I've got the story about Hurricane Maria today:

In a sane society, the Bill of Rights would be studied in great detail, in every school and college.
The historical incursions on, and the crimes against, the Bill of Rights would be laid bare and excoriated.
“Grand juries” of students would be formed to investigate, in detail, these incursions and crimes, and wherever possible track them to their sources.
Reading the Bill of Rights, the first 10 Amendments to the Constitution, it is plain that the natural rights of the individual are confirmed—and also, the attempt to exercise any sort of excessive power over the individual is shackled.
Why?
Because the Founders saw the handwriting on the wall, engraved for centuries in totalitarian regimes and theocracies.
Here are the basics of the Bill of Rights:
Freedom of speech, religion, and the press.
The right to bear arms.
Housing of soldiers: “No soldier shall, in time of peace, be quartered in any house without the consent of the owner, nor in time of war but in a manner to be prescribed by law.”
Protection from unreasonable search and seizure.
Protection of rights to life, liberty, and property.
“In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor; and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.”
“In suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury shall be otherwise reexamined in any court of the United States than according to the rules of the common law.”
Excessive bails, fines, and punishments are forbidden.
“The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.”
“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.”
What do these 10 Amendments say about the individual? They say he is of greater importance than the State.
They say the purpose of basic law is protection of the freedom of the individual.
They say that, no matter how many scurrilous critics and logic-choppers may come along and parse the Bill of Rights to their advantage and against the individual, these critics should be cast aside, at the very least.
They say that there is something potentially glorious in the individual.
They say today’s collectivists are deluded, and in many cases are consciously attempting to hijack the basic notion of freedom—and substitute instead, a plethora of free goods and services derived from the State, which collects overbearing taxes and invents money out of thin air, for the purpose of creating unfree and dependent individuals.
Most importantly, in today’s society, these 10 Amendments stand on their own, as robust and profound Ideas, no matter who first conceived them, no matter what those men’s motives may or may not have been at the time of conception.
The ideas are alive. Now.
Centers of education may promote the decimation of the Bill of Rights, may attack the primary sources, may try to wage war against these ideas, but their assault is transparent to those who can see and think.
Those little would-be dictators of the mind are themselves already slaves. And so they want to make other slaves.
Europe, whose great thinkers invented the cradle of liberty, is falling under the sway of collectivist vultures. As a group, those gnawing birds of prey are centered in the European Union, the “share and care” face of fascism.
During decades of unearthing what corrupt European and American fascists have been trying to achieve, I have seen individuals rise up from the swamp of sticky economic, political, and spiritual collectivism and reassert and regain their natural freedom.
It’s a sight to behold.
It embodies a dawn that reawakens the mind and spirit.
It’s a call to all of life.
It reestablishes the great adventure of living and making a future of one’s own choosing.
The education system blacks that out. Major media do, too.
The whole idea of public education, at the beginning, in America, was to educate children about what it meant to be a free and responsible citizen in the new Republic.
That mission was abandoned.
In the early 20th century, powerful foundations (Carnegie, at the forefront) completely derailed education by removing significant study of the founding documents of the nation. This was no accident. It was an effort to control society, to make it over in the image of worker-drones fitting into slots, for “the greatest good of the greatest number.”
From its inception, the Carnegie Foundation was consciously focused on the most effective way to control a population. Its first choice was war. In its absence, the number two method, it decided, was education.
The individual, nevertheless, still possesses his natural freedoms. These freedoms are prior to any laws enacted to confirm them.
But the individual has to find/assert those freedoms within himself, on his own.
His future rises and falls on that profound effort, which begins with recognizing he is separate from any and all forms of the collectivist “equality” glob…
William James, American philosopher (1902): “Probably a crab would be filled with a sense of personal outrage if it could hear us class it without ado or apology as a crustacean, and thus dispose of it. ‘I am no such thing,’ it would say; ‘I am myself, myself alone’.”

President Trump Demands End to Chain Migration. With chain migration, amnesties for DREAMers could add 17 million legal immigrants to the U.S. The President needs your help dealing with Congress; We're raising $100,000 to help pass the RAISE Act and E-Verify.
Dear Thomas,
Only $30,892 to go President Trump has thrown down the gauntlet: Any immigration bill must end chain migration.
This is a HUGE victory. Chain migration accounts for nearly half of all legal immigration, encourages much illegal immigration, and is what makes even the most modest, seemingly innocuous amnesty absolutely unthinkable. With chain migration, immigrants -- even formerly illegal aliens who have received amnesties -- can eventually bring their entire extended family to the United States. Here's just how much worse chain migration makes amnesties:
A DACA amnesty, which could legalize up to 723,000 illegal aliens could result in over 3 million family members becoming legal immigrants, if current chain migration policy isn't changed. The DREAM Act would be even worse and could result in over 17 million more legal immigrants! Even better than just ending chain migration, the Trump administration is pushing for the entire RAISE Act to get passed... while laying the groundwork for mandatory E-Verify. But we still need to get a majority in the House, and 60 votes in the Senate! This is why we are raising $100,000 to NumbersUSA Action Fund to help make sure that E-Verify and the RAISE Act become law and chain migration is ended.
Please help us reach this goal, TODAY!
We need to send thousands of messages to EACH and EVERY Member of Congress, liberal or conservative, Republican or Democrat. Even those members who have become mouthpieces for the radical open-borders agenda must be made to realize that they cannot reasonably demand their colleagues reject popular, common-sense immigration legislation.
NumbersUSA has already managed to change the conversation about immigration. We've informed and engaged an army of 7 million Facebook fans to help spread our message. And our media efforts over the last year have earned us the kind of free exposure that would cost over $50,000,000 if we had to rely solely on advertising. We've even sponsored a new poll to show just how popular our immigration reforms are. These poll numbers are from Pulse Opinion Research (used by Rasmussen Reports) and were cited in the White House event endorsing the RAISE Act, and by Rep. Lamar Smith as he introduced his House version this month.
The poll showed that voters want to... end chain migration of extended family members, 55% to 32% end the Visa Lottery, 56% to 33% cut legal immigration by at least half, 61% to 26%. mandate use of E-Verify for all employers by an overwhelming margin of 68% to 17%. But winning the information war isn't enough. We need Congress to see that voters don't just FAVOR sensible immigration policies, they DEMAND them. That's where our NumbersUSA Action Fund comes in. Only Action Fund money can pay for sending millions and millions of faxes, phone calls and e-mails to Congress this year. We'll make sure that each member of Congress hears from thousands of their own constituents. But we need your support to make that possible. Will you help us reach our $100,000 campaign to fund our support for the RAISE Act and E-Verify? We CANNOT do this without you! Please respond.

Nestlé Makes Billions Bottling Water It Pays Nearly Nothing For
The company’s operation in Michigan reveals how it’s dominated the industry by going into economically depressed areas with lax water laws.
ILLUSTRATION: SILJA GÖTZ FOR BLOOMBERG BUSINESSWEEK
By Caroline Winter
September 21, 2017, 5:00 AM EDT
In rural Mecosta County, Mich., sits a near-windowless facility with a footprint about the size of Buckingham Palace. It’s just one of Nestlé’s roughly 100 bottled water factories in 34 countries around the world.
Inside, workers wear hairnets, hard hats, goggles, gloves, and earplugs. Ten production lines snake through the space, funneling local spring water into 8-ounce to 2.5-gallon containers; most of the lines run 24/7, each pumping out 500 to 1,200 bottles per minute. About 60 percent of the supply comes from Mecosta’s springs and arrives at the factory via a 12-mile pipeline. The rest is trucked in from neighboring Osceola County, about 40 miles north. “Daily, we’re looking at 3.5 million bottles potentially,” says Dave Sommer, the plant’s 41-year-old manager, shouting above the din.
Silos holding 125 tons of plastic resin pellets provide the raw material for the bottles. They’re molded into shape at temperatures reaching 400F before being filled, capped, inspected, labeled, and laser-printed with the location, day, and minute they were produced—a process that takes less than 25 seconds. Next, the bottles are bundled, shrink-wrapped onto pallets, and picked up by a fleet of 25 forklifts that ferry them to the plant’s warehouse or loading docks. As many as 175 trucks arrive every day to transport the water to retail locations in the Midwest. “We want more people to drink water, keep hydrated,” Sommer says. “It would be nice if it were my water, but we just want them to drink water.”

Nestlé SA started bottling in 1843 when company founder Henri Nestlé purchased a business on Switzerland’s Monneresse Canal. “Ever the curious scientist, [he] analyzed and experimented with the enrichment of water with a variety of minerals, always with a singular goal: to provide healthy, accessible, and delicious refreshment,” reads Nestlé’s website. Today there are thousands of bottled water companies worldwide—there’s even Trump Ice—but Nestlé is the biggest globally in terms of sales, followed by Coca-Cola, Danone, andPepsiCo, according to Euromonitor International. Nestlé Waters, the Paris-based subsidiary, owns almost 50 brands, including Perrier, S.Pellegrino, andPoland Spring.
Last year, U.S. bottled water sales reached $16 billion, up nearly 10 percent from 2015, according to Beverage Marketing Corp. They outpaced soda sales for the first time as drinkers continue to seek convenience and healthier options and worry about the safety of tap water after the high-profilecontamination in Flint, Mich., about a two-hour drive from Mecosta. Nestlé alone sold $7.7 billion worth worldwide, with more than $343 million of it coming from Michigan, where the company bottles Ice Mountain Natural Spring Water and Pure Life, its purified water line.
The Michigan operation is only one small part of Nestlé, the world’s largest food and beverage company. But it illuminates how Nestlé has come to dominate a controversial industry, spring by spring, often going into economically depressed municipalities with the promise of jobs and new infrastructure in exchange for tax breaks and access to a resource that’s scarce for millions. Where Nestlé encounters grass-roots resistance against its industrial-strength guzzling, it deploys lawyers; where it’s welcome, it can push the limits of that hospitality, sometimes with the acquiescence of state and local governments that are too cash-strapped or inept to say no. There are the usual costs of doing business, including transportation, infrastructure, and salaries. But Nestlé pays little for the product it bottles—sometimes a municipal rate and other times just a nominal extraction fee. In Michigan, it’s $200.

The Romans were among the first to see water as more than a basic need. They ranked theirs by taste; Aqua Marcia, from a spring about 60 miles outside of Rome, was among the best. In the 19th century, some of the first mass-market brands were S.Pellegrino and Vittel, now owned by Nestlé, and Evian, a Danone label. Sales were driven by taste, as well as the age-old notion that the mineral contents are therapeutic, curing ailments from hangovers to kidney stones. But mineral water consumption in America cratered in the early 20th century in part because the U.S. Food and Drug Administration made it harder to tout medicinal benefits without expensive testing.
Today, Americans often drink bottled water for what they hope is not in it. Fears about what comes out of the tap aren’t completely unfounded; 77 million Americans are served by water systems that violate testing requirements or rules about contamination in drinking water, according to the Natural Resources Defense Council. In agriculture-heavy regions, pesticides, fertilizers, and nitrates from animal waste leach into the ground. Despite the Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974, compliance with harmful chemical restrictions isn’t monitored carefully, and most wastewater-treatment systems aren’t designed to remove hormones, antidepressants, and other drugs. The Trump administration’s Environmental Protection Agency is also attempting to roll back existing regulations. That said, bottled water isn’t necessarily more pure than tap. In the U.S., municipalities with 2.5 million or more people are required to test their supply dozens of times each day, whereas those with fewer than 50,000 customers must test for certain contaminants 60 times per month. Bottled water companies aren’t required to monitor their reserve or report contamination, although Nestlé says it tests its water hourly.
There’s also the issue of scarcity. The United Nations expects that 1.8 billion people will live in places with dire water shortages by 2025, and two-thirds of the world’s population could be living under stressed water conditions. Supply may be compromised in the U.S., too. A recent Michigan State University study predicts that more than a third of Americans might not be able to afford their water bills in five years, with costs expected to triple as World War II-era construction breaks down.
Failing infrastructure has already led to a near-total reliance on bottled water in parts of the world. Nestlé started selling Pure Life in Lahore, Pakistan, in 1998 to “provide a safe, quality water solution,” the company says. But locals wonder if the Swiss multinational is exacerbating the problem. “Twenty years ago, you could go anywhere in Lahore and get a glass of clean tap water for free,” says Ahmad Rafay Alam, an environmental lawyer in the country. “Now, everyone drinks bottled water.” He adds that this change has taken the pressure off the government to fix its utilities, degrading the quality of Lahore’s supply: “What Nestlé did is use a good marketing scheme to make tap water uncool and dangerous. It’s ubiquitous, like Kleenex. People will say, ‘Give me a bottle of Nestlé.’ ”
Nestlé has been preparing for shortages for decades. The company’s former chief executive officer, Helmut Maucher, said in a 1994 interview with the New York Times: “Springs are like petroleum. You can always build a chocolate factory. But springs you have or you don’t have.” His successor, Peter Brabeck-Letmathe, who retired recently after 21 years in charge, drew criticism for encouraging the commodification of water in a 2005 documentary, saying: “One perspective held by various NGOs—which I would call extreme—is that water should be declared a human right. … The other view is that water is a grocery product. And just as every other product, it should have a market value.” Public outrage ensued. Brabeck-Letmathe says his comments were taken out of context and that water is a human right. He later proposed that people should have free access to 30 liters per day, paying only for additional use.
Compared with the water needs of agriculture and energy production, the bottled water business is barely responsible for a trickle; in Michigan, it accounts for less than 1 percent of total water usage, according to Michigan’s Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). But it rankles many because the natural resource gets hauled out of local watersheds for private profit, not used in the service of feeding people or keeping their lights on. There’s also, of course, the issue of plastic pollution.
In the U.S., Nestlé tends to set up shop in areas with weak water regulations or lobbies to enfeeble laws. States such as Maine and Texas operate under a remarkably lax rule from the 1800s called “absolute capture,” which lets landowners take all the groundwater they want. Michigan, New York, and other states have stricter laws, allowing “reasonable use,” which means property owners can extract water as long as it doesn’t unreasonably affect other wells or the aquifer system. Laws vary even within states. New Hampshire is a reasonable-use state, but in 2006, the municipality of Barnstead became the first nationwide to ban the pumping of its water for sale elsewhere.
Towns in Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin have turned away Nestlé. In Washington, the mayor of Waitsburg, Walt Gobel, resigned last year after it was revealed that he’d conducted secret talks with the company about building a $50 million plant. “The representatives asked for confidentiality of this proposal until they could determine the feasibility,” Gobel wrote in his resignation letter. Town leaders later voted to reject Nestlé’s advances.

Elsewhere, Nestlé has largely prevailed against opposition. In Fryeburg, Maine, it took the company four years to successfully appeal a zoning board resolution to build a facility it said it needed for its Poland Spring line. Last year it gained rights to extract water for the next 20 years—and perhaps 25 more after that. In San Bernardino, Calif., Nestlé has long paid the U.S. Forest Service an annual rate of $524 to extract about 30 million gallons, even during droughts. “Our public agencies have dropped the ball,” says Peter Gleick, co-founder of the Pacific Institute, which focuses on water issues. “Every gallon of water that is taken out of a natural system for bottled water is a gallon of water that doesn’t flow down a stream, that doesn’t support a natural ecosystem,” he says.
Nestlé isn’t the only bottled water company operating in Michigan, but it’s the most controversial. Pepsi and Coca-Cola bottle municipal water from Detroit for their Aquafina and Dasani brands, respectively; they pay city rates, then sell the product back for profit. In Mecosta County, Nestlé sucks up spring water directly from the source, which water conservationists say does more damage to the flow of streams, rivers, and wetland ecology. Municipal supplies come from larger bodies of water, so massive depletions, they argue, have less of an impact. Nestlé’s chief of sustainability, Nelson Switzer, responds: “Water is a renewable resource. As long as you manage the area, water will flow in perpetuity.”
Nestlé purchased Ice Mountain from Pepsi in 2000 and moved the production facilities from the East Coast to mountain-less Mecosta. State and local officials appreciated the business and offered a $13 million, one-time tax break. When people found out that Nestlé was pumping water in their backyards, however, they formed an opposition group, Michigan Citizens for Water Conservation. Spearheaded by retired librarians and teachers, the group added more than 2,000 members statewide, enlisted the land-and-water-rights lawyer Jim Olson, and filed a lawsuit to stop Nestlé.
The case dragged on for eight years and cost the group more than $1 million. To raise money, it charged membership fees and threw fundraisers. “Garage sales twice a year, Texas Hold ’em, raffles, a few grants from nonprofits,” says President Peggy Case, a retired schoolteacher who rigged her own water towers to irrigate the gardens on her 35-acre property.
In 2003 a judge ruled against Nestlé, saying that data documenting three years of extraction by the company showed a significant depletion of the area’s streams and wetlands. Nestlé appealed, and the case lasted six more years before the two parties settled in 2009. Nestlé would reduce pumping from 400 gallons per minute to 218, with further restrictions in spring and summer, which residents hoped would limit the environmental impact.
Even before the settlement, Nestlé had expanded its operation beyond Mecosta County to neighboring Osceola County. For access to municipal wells in the city of Evart and one nonmunicipal well nearby, the company promised to fund 14 acres of new softball fields, plus a bullpen and lockers, for the high school team. The school superintendent, Howard Hyde, told the Grand Rapids Press in March 2005: “I’m tickled. It’s like Christmas. Our current fields are pretty nice, but these are going to be better.”
More than 44 percent of Evart’s 1,500 residents live below the poverty line, according to Data USA. Officials were disappointed that Nestlé built its Ice Mountain plant in Mecosta, which cost the city 280 jobs, but they were grateful for the roughly $250,000 Nestlé pays Evart annually for its water. “[If they left], our services would decline,” says Zackary Szakacs, the city manager.
In addition to the softball fields, Nestlé has helped Evart finance other upgrades, including new well houses for its municipal water, parks, and a fairground that hosts a dulcimer festival in July. For decades the fairground was also home to Evart’s Fourth of July fireworks celebration, attended by as many as 10,000 locals. In 2015, Nestlé discovered contamination in the watershed from perchlorate in those fireworks. The carcinogen is banned only in Massachusetts and California, which is why Evart hadn’t been testing for it. But because Nestlé sells in all 50 states, says Szakacs, none of its water can test positive for the chemical. The company has since stopped pumping from affected wells and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to clean them up.

At 58, Szakacs has snow-white hair, a goatee, a gruff voice, and a love of fishing and Coors Light. A former policeman, he’d moved to Evart in 2006 to be chief. His office at Evart City Hall is within walking distance of the pumping station where a steady stream of 12,500-gallon trucks arrive each day to pick up water for the Ice Mountain factory. Szakacs isn’t worried about Evart’s springs. “Look, we’ve got plenty of water, more water than you can imagine,” he says. “We’ve got rivers, and streams, and fish—bass, trout.”
Last Halloween, however, Garret Ellison, an environmental reporter for MLive and the Grand Rapids Press, discovered that Nestlé had applied for a permit to more than double its pumping rate at the well near Evart, to 400 gallons per minute—the same rate that was ruled harmful in Mecosta. Anticipating approval, Nestlé had invested $36 million to build an 80,000-square-foot addition to its Ice Mountain plant and applied for another permit for a booster station to help pump the additional flow. Michigan’s DEQ had all but approved the application for the increased pumping rate without allowing for a period of public comment.
After Ellison’s story went live, the department received more than 1,100 emails in three days (the number is now 81,000). “It sent a shock wave through most communities in Michigan,” says Olson, the lawyer, who filed an injunction with the nonprofit rights group For Love of Water demanding that the department extend its comment period and release relevant documents for review. Nestlé now awaits a decision on whether it will be allowed to increase pumping at the well near Evart. In late July the DEQ asked the company to produce data showing that higher pumping rates wouldn’t damage the environment, numbers that Nestlé plans to submit on Sept. 29.
Arlene Anderson-Vincent, a natural resource manager for Nestlé, says the uptick won’t damage the ecosystem. “The water here is constantly being replenished, much more quickly than we can pump,” says Anderson-Vincent, who was born and raised in Michigan and got a bachelor’s degree in geology from Michigan State University while working at General Motors as a welder. Nestlé has collected 17 years’ worth of data evaluating groundwater levels and stream flow—and although, she concedes, the wetlands in Mecosta might not have withstood 400 gallons per minute, Evart’s can. “Every well is different,” she says.
Nestlé’s data doesn’t make “reliable assumptions about real world conditions,” says Olson. “We know our glacial soils in Michigan, and we know our vegetation. You can pretty much take the old case [in Mecosta] as a predictor” of environmental impact.

Six months after Ellison’s reporting, on a chilly evening in April, more than 500 people filed into a large auditorium at Ferris State University near the Ice Mountain plant. They’d come from all across Michigan to take part in the DEQ’s public hearing on Nestlé, but they had more on their mind than Evart. “We took a bus here from Flint because we’re tired of bottled water, tired of Nestlé, tired of them making a profit off of our disaster,” said Bernadel Jefferson, a pastor and activist who arrived with a dozen other protesters.
It’s impossible to talk about water in Michigan without raising the crisis in Flint. Beginning in 2014 thousands of families were exposed to dangerous levels of lead and bacteria in tap water. Michigan Governor Rick Snyder cut costs by switching the city’s water source, after which the state failed to properly treat the water with anticorrosives. An outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease killed at least 12 people and led to manslaughter charges against five state and city officials. Snyder also tried, unsuccessfully, to block a federal court order forcing the state to deliver bottled water to residents. He argued that, at an estimated $10.5 million a month, it would be too costly, put more trucks on the road, and overwhelm Flint’s recycling system.
Nestlé is quick to point out that it has nothing to do with the water problems in Flint or elsewhere. “What happened in Flint, and what’s happening in other communities in the United States, is absolutely outrageous,” says Switzer, the sustainability chief. Nestlé even teamed up with Wal-Mart, Coca-Cola, and Pepsi to donate 35,000 bottles per month to Flint residents—“for schoolchildren,” he says.

But since the crisis, Flint residents have paid thousands of dollars to purchase bottled water for drinking, cooking, washing, and bathing. “Between 2005 and 2016, Nestlé has taken over 4 billion gallons of our water for pennies and sold it back to us for huge profits,” said Case, the opposition group president, the first of about 50 people to speak at the hearing. “Meanwhile, the people of Flint have been forced to use this bottled water for several years and are required to pay some of the highest water bills in the country for undrinkable water. The people of Detroit have experienced massive shutoffs since 2014, with up to 90,000 people shut off at times. If Detroiters could pay Nestlé rates, few would owe more than a dollar, and the majority would owe less than a dime.”
Case’s three-minute speech got a standing ovation. Onstage, two DEQ employees listened in silence. “F--- the DEQ,” a man from Flint yelled into the microphone, holding up his middle fingers. Three hours later, past 10 p.m., the hearing ended. The DEQ employees shuffled offstage, refusing to comment.
Nestlé maintains that its subsidiary is a good steward of the land. An emailed statement from corporate headquarters says: “With a third of its factories already operating in water-stressed areas, water availability is and will increasingly be a major risk to Nestlé Waters. This is why water stewardship at both factory and watershed level remains an integral approach to our business strategy.”
Environmental activists counter that multinationals shouldn’t be in charge of protecting water. But these companies seem more poised to do so than some state and local officials. There’s even a Davos-style event called the World Water Forum, whose stated mission is to “put water firmly on the international agenda.” In March, 40,000 people are expected to convene in Brasilia, Brazil. The occasion isn’t without its critics. In an April blog post, water-rights activist Maude Barlow wrote, “It is a corporate trade show organized by the World Water Council—a multi-stakeholder consortium promoting solutions to the water crisis that serve the interests of multinational corporations.”
A tool for conservationists might be the public trust doctrine, which says natural resources belong to the public. The principle dates back at least 1,500 years; in 1215, it was invoked to prohibit the British Crown from transferring valuable fisheries to private lords because seabeds belonged to the people. David Zetland, author of Living With Water Scarcity, says governments must decide how much water they want to protect under the public trust doctrine and the rest should be divvied up on the open market. “Political allocation is usually corrupt,” he says. Olson doesn’t think a market is a good idea. “The poorest among us have the same rights and should enjoy the same basic access and enjoyment of water as the wealthiest,” he says.
Down a dirt road in Traverse City, about an hour’s drive from Evart, Case is standing in her garden, harvesting fat stalks of asparagus. A neighbor’s dog, a black-and-white mutt left with one eye after a porcupine run-in, follows her through the yard to the home she moved to from Detroit after retiring. “We grow a good portion of our food here for the entire year,” she says.
Case, echoing her comments at the Ferris State hearing, says she’ll keep fighting. “It has to do with the privatization of water and taking the people’s water and making a profit from it, an exorbitant profit, a ridiculous profit, when there are people with no water at all, or people with poisoned water,” she says. “We don’t believe water should be owned by anybody. It’s a public right.” Depending on how Michigan rules on Nestlé’s bid to pump more water in Evart, Case’s group may take legal action. How it will pay to challenge the Swiss conglomerate a second time, she doesn’t know. “We might,” she says, “end up back in bake sales.”

This Issue: Employers fail to fill up H-2B visa expansion suggesting their claims of a worker shortage are false
Fri, Sep 22th
For years, we've heard the cries from employers who claim they can't find enough American workers to fill temporary and seasonal jobs across the country. But when it came time to prove their claims were real, they couldn't produce.
You may remember that Congress authorized then-DHS Secretary John Kelly earlier this year to increase the number of H-2B visas by around 70,000 for the 2017 fiscal year. The H-2B visa is mostly used by landscaping, hospitality and food service industries to fill jobs that are seasonal or temporary in nature. Much to the disappointment of the employers, Kelly made only 15,000 of the 70,000 available. And we learned this week, that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has stopped accepting applications after receiving just 13,534 applications. The same employers who complained that the increase was too small couldn't file enough applications to fill it! Kelly did add two extra hurdles for employers who wanted the extra foreign workers. First, they were required to demonstrate that their business would "suffer irreparable harm" if they didn't get more foreign workers. Second, they had to show that they exhausted every attempt to recruit American workers. Based on those requirements, it's entirely possible that not all of those 13,534 applications will actually get approved. Research from both the Economic Policy Institute and the Center for Immigration Studies suggests that there is no labor shortage in the industries that most rely on H-2B visas. The fact that employers couldn't use the full 15,000 additional visas proves their point and shows that employers really don't need foreign workers; they just prefer them over American workers. We can only hope that Congress learns from this lesson and will reject future calls from employers to increase the number of foreign guest workers. Of course, Congress tends to have a short memory, so it will require your activism efforts to remind them of this most recent event. TRUMP ADMIN APPROVES NEARLY 6,000 INITIAL DACA APPLICATIONS In the months leading up to Pres. Trump's decision to end the unconstitutional DACA executive amnesty, his administration approved 5,860 new DACA applications between April 1 and June 30 and approved 96,708 renewals. What stands out most, however, is the number of denials. The Trump administration denied 32% of the initial applications where a decision was made. The denial rate is nearly double the rate for all of 2016. While our hope was for Pres. Trump to end the DACA amnesty back in January, if there is a bright side, it's that his administration added more scrutiny to the applications and approved fewer requests.

Grade Cards
We've added dozens of new immigration bills to our Immigration-Reduction Grade Cards.
Cosponsorship of each bill is weighted based on how much it would change the numerical level of immigration over the next 10 years.
Take a look HERE at the Grade Cards of your U.S. Representative and two U.S. Senators. You may see changes on some of the category grades, and some changes in the overall grade for This Congress.
These Grade Cards -- not what congressional offices may say about their record -- are by far the most reliable measure of what your Members of Congress are doing to limit or increase the harm from mass immigration.

Here are some other top news stories from the week:
Order Free Cards to show where this country is headed if Congress doesn't pass the RAISE Act.
The difference between the current immigration policy and the RAISE Act would be tens of millions of additional people by 2050 that will need more roads, bridges and all kinds of infrastructure in an increasingly congested America.
These cards are really effective at events, such as townhalls, to visually show the numbers that make so many Americans passionate about the mission of NumbersUSA and the RAISE Act to reduce total immigration to a level that serves the national interest.

Some prophecy scholars insist this Saturday will bring about a cosmic cataclysm that will rain down fireballs across much of North America, punishing the United States.
Despite the popular predictions, the world isn’t ending this Saturday.
I do, however, have no doubt that human civilization is on the path of total collapse and self-induced obliteration.
My advice is to plan for the world to continue through this weekend. But prepare a long-term survival plan to make it through the coming chaos stemming from financial collapse, social unrest and possibly even global nuclear war.

THE BIG CALL WITH BRUCE THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2017, INTEL ONLY
TRANSCRIBED BY PINKROSES
Bruce: Welcome Everyone to the Big Call tonight. Many of us were looking for a speech by Abadi tonight. He did make a speech that was aired at 2:15 EST today that did get aired and it was seen in Iraq on these Jumbotron TV screens. That occurred over 9 different Jumbotrons and in 9 providences.
They did add two more huge screens from what we said on Tuesday, from 7 of them to 9 screens. That was for the Iraqi people. That was a message that I do not have the content on it, but my understanding is it was a message for the Iraqi people about the RV of the Dinar.
I can’t tell you what was in it. I did not see it. It wasn’t broadcasted so we could see it.
....
Bruce: What we were looking for was an announcement made to the world from the UN that Abadi was suppose to do. His timing for that was pushed back 4 times today.
It kept getting pushed back and pushed back, new times and new times. Finally it was supposed to air at between 7:00 and 7:15 EST and be completed by 8 o’clock because he had a 45 minute window to make that. My understanding so far at this time he did not make that announcement tonight. I don’t know why. I don’t know what happened.
I think because it kept getting pushed back because maybe they were doing things behind the scenes, back door stuff. Maybe some more negotiating was going on. We don’t know exactly why it didn’t go or if it was rescheduled to go for another time, maybe tonight or tomorrow. We don’t know.
Bruce: Today was supposed to be a holiday for them because of these speeches coming from the UN. They were out there and ready to watch. Now my understanding was, also talking about Iraq, remember we talked about the ATMS were up.
It wound up being the ATMS were not live everywhere throughout Iraq. There were still some areas where they had not been turned on. My understanding was 6 hours after that speech tonight which we do not know what happened to it, the ATMS would be put into play all over the country that which would be tomorrow morning in Iraq.
Bruce: Here is the thing, did everything occurred that needed to occur for this to go? It is a very valid question. Based on what Abadi did do today with that announcement it took care of it from their perspective. Now does the rest of the world know and hear that 45 minute speech he was suppose to make that kept getting pushed back?
It could be that speech was actually given and not aired and would be aired at a later or at an appropriate time. I do not know. I am speculating, and I do not like speculating. I like giving what is factual. That is a question mark for many.
Bruce: When we go beyond that. We know that were certain things needed to be done. Certain countries needed their currencies to be asset back. There were 3 countries this afternoon that still needed to declare their currencies asset back. Afghanistan, Vietnam, and Russia, those 3. I don’t know if they made that declaration that is the case for them yet or whether that is something we have to look forward to.
I did say on Tuesday night come 11:59pm on Sunday night, September 24th, this Sunday, any currency that is not asset back would be dropped from any platforms and dropped from the Forex. So those 3 countries would want to have their currencies asset back before then.
Maybe a just a matter of time, something agreed to behind the scene, or protocol to bring them out in order. I know for us we were one of the 4 that were waiting for our currency to be declared asset back. Yesterday afternoon the President signed an Executive Order (EO) to take care of our currency as the USN, our new dollar, to be asset back, partially gold plus other assets backing our currency.
It would take care of the end of the fiat dollar and of the petrol dollar, and essentially the restoration of our Republic form of our government. All of that took place with the EO yesterday afternoon. That was very positive to get the details of that.
Bruce: In terms of where we are, I believe we are at the point things got very quiet starting at about 7:15pm tonight EST because we really don’t know where the announcement went from Abadi and whether it has been rescheduled yet. We just do not know that yet. I can’t bring you that yet in more detail.
Bruce: We do know that some of the larger funding sources were sent money, wired from China and that took place and that was on route and basically they are in position to start funding projects very shortly.
My thinking is they could start funding almost at any moment now. When it comes to the boxes of bonds that were opened at midnight the night before last, Tuesday night, it allowed them to go through, check the providence on these bonds, and go through the verification process on them to be in preparation to begin paying them out.
That paying out of those bonds transactions supposed to occur after we get started in our exchange process. So they have already started the idea of verification of the information about the bonds, providence of the bonds that started two nights ago.
Bruce: The other thing we have is the Redemption Centers have been given authorization to begin our transactions at the Redemption Centers. We have almost full personnel in Texas and Florida. We have the levels to where there is supposed to be a few more people this afternoon.
My understanding is they are at the level the go ahead has been given, authorized to begin to exchange. In order for us to proceed to go forward with the exchange process, we need the notification to come so we can get the 800 number to call to set our appointments to begin the process.
That is where we are. We still need to receive the toll free number. I would put it out and have it available on our website: thebigcall.net and a few other places to get us started with this whole process.
Bruce: What has happened since Tuesday? That is basically where we are since Tuesday’s call. We are waiting again what shouldn’t be too much longer.
We have a lot of new things that happened yesterday with our own USN, Presidential Executive Order that took place and what has happen today with the announcement by Abadi to the Iraqi people that happened earlier in the afternoon. We have to see if Vietnam, Russia, and Afghanistan are asset back.
I think that is what we are waiting to happen. We are coming to the end, and should get started shortly in due season. I am positive where we are, but disappointed we didn’t get more information on Abadi’s speech. They had 136 media outlets for the speech that was supposed to go out to the world. Let’s see what happened to that. That is where we are.
Bruce: Rates still continue to go up. The ZIM rate went up more today. It is still in a great place. It is just a matter of time now to get what we are looking for, the notification to exchange. I am telling there is not a whole lot else tonight.
Bruce: Thank you everybody. Thank you Pastor Steven, Sue, Kent, and everybody across the globe in Big Call Universe for tuning in. Stay tune to the website: thebigcall.net for further updates of our new URLS and pod casts. Thank you for listening and have a blessed night. Play hard and have fun.
BREAKING NEWS for all those who want to erase American history during the day or in the dead of night:
If you take down every statue on the continent, slavery and the American
Civil War will still have happened.
If you have minimum wage skills now, taking down statues won't change that.
If you're up to your ass in college loan debt, taking down statues won't change that.
The nation will still be $20,000,000,000,000 in debt.
We will still be in a global economy.
North Korea will still be run by a lunatic who wants you dead.
Radical Islamists will still want you dead.
People who hate you now, will still hate you, perhaps even more.
Soros, Obama and the Clintons will still be sleazy and corrupt and you'll still be just a puppet for them.
The Department of Education will still not have educated anyone.
There will still be only two genders.
Hillary will still not have won the 2016 election and Bernie will still be a communist charlatan.
There will still be opposing views outside your safe spaces.
You'll still be accountable for your own choices, and the world will still owe you nothing.
Taking down all the statues will still not change the fact that Communism has been responsible for more slavery and death than the Confederacy ever was and that it was Democrats who fought to keep slavery while Republicans fought to stop it.
The removal of statues won't change the fact that the first slave owner was a black man.
So, if you have a problem with a statue of Robert E Lee in Virginia, but no issues with a statue of Vladimir Lenin in Seattle, we'll erect a monument to
your cowardice and depict a huddled mass of frightened and drooling idiots who can't find their asses with both hands and a map.

Trump Does The Unthinkable by Liz Crokin
Donald Trump is a racist, bigot, sexist, xenophobe, anti-Semitic and Islamophobe -- did I miss anything? The left and the media launch these hideous kinds of attacks at Trump everyday; yet, nothing could be further from the truth about the real estate mogul. As an entertainment journalist, I’ve had the opportunity to cover Trump for over a decade, and in all my years covering him I’ve never heard anything negative about the man until he announced he was running for president. Keep in mind, I got paid a lot of money to dig up dirt on celebrities like Trump for a living so a scandalous story on the famous billionaire could’ve potentially sold a lot of magazines and would’ve been a “yuge” feather in my cap. Instead, I found that he doesn’t drink alcohol or do drugs, he’s a hardworking businessman and totally devoted to his beloved wife and children. On top of that, he’s one of the most generous celebrities in the world with a heart filled with more gold than his $100 million New York penthouse.
In 2004, the first season of “The Apprentice” aired and at that time I worked as an entertainment columnist for the “RedEye Edition of the Chicago Tribune” and as a freelancer for “Us Weekly”. I had a gut feeling that Chicago contestant, Bill Rancic, was going to win the reality show. So I contacted him and covered the hit show the entire season. I managed to score an invite to New York for the show’s grand finale and after-party. This is where I first met Trump and got to ask him a few questions. That year, Rancic did win “The Apprentice”. I attended “The Apprentice” finale the next two years in a row. Between that and the frequent visits Trump and his family made to Chicago during the construction of their Trump International Hotel & Tower, I got a chance to meet most of his family too and I’ve had nothing but positive experiences with them. Since the media has failed so miserably at reporting the truth about Trump, I decided to put together some of the acts of kindness he’s committed over three decades which has gone virtually unnoticed or fallen on deaf ears.
In 1986, Trump prevented the foreclosure of Annabell Hill’s family farm after her husband committed suicide. Trump personally phoned down to the auction to stop the sale of her home and offered the widow money. Trump decided to take action after he saw Hill’s pleas for help in news reports.
In 1988, a commercial airline refused to fly Andrew Ten, a sick Orthodox Jewish child with a rare illness, across the country to get medical care because he had to travel with an elaborate life-support system. His grief stricken parents contacted Trump for help and he didn’t hesitate to send his own plane to take the child from Los Angeles to New York so he could get his treatment.
In 1991, 200 Marines who served in Operation Desert Storm spent time at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina before they were scheduled to return home to their families. However, the Marines were told that a mistake had been made and an aircraft would not be able to take them home on their scheduled departure date. When Trump got wind of this, he sent his plane to make two trips from North Carolina to Miami to safely return the Gulf War Marines to their loved ones.
In 1995, a motorist stopped to help Trump after the limo he was traveling in got a flat tire. Trump asked the Good Samaritan how he could repay him for his help. All the man asked for was a bouquet of flowers for his wife. A few weeks later Trump sent the flowers with a note that read: “We’ve paid off your mortgage.”
In 1996, Trump filed a lawsuit against the city of Palm Beach, Florida accusing the town of discriminating against his Mar-a-Lago resort club because it allowed Jews and blacks. Abraham Foxman, who was the Anti-Defamation League Director at the time, said Trump “put the light on Palm Beach – not on the beauty and the glitter, but on its seamier side of discrimination.” Foxman also noted that Trump’s charge had a trickle-down effect because other clubs followed his lead and began admitting Jews and blacks.
In 2000, Maury Povich featured a little girl named Megan who struggled with Brittle Bone Disease on his show and Trump happened to be watching. Trump said the little girl’s story and positive attitude touched his heart. So he contacted Maury and gifted the little girl and her family with a very generous check.
In 2008, after Jennifer Hudson’s family members were tragically murdered in Chicago, Trump put the Oscar-winning actress and her family up at his Windy City hotel for free. In addition to that, Trump’s security took extra measures to ensure Hudson and her family members were safe during such a difficult time.
In 2013, New York bus driver Darnell Barton spotted a woman close to the edge of a bridge staring at traffic below as he drove by. He stopped the bus, got out and put his arm around the woman and saved her life by convincing her to not jump. When Trump heard about this story, he sent the hero bus driver a check simply because he believed his good deed deserved to be rewarded.
In 2014, Trump gave $25,000 to Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi after he spent seven months in a Mexican jail for accidentally crossing the US-Mexico border. President Barack Obama couldn’t even be bothered to make one phone call to assist with the United States Marine’s release; however, Trump opened his pocketbook to help this serviceman get back on his feet.
In 2016, Melissa Consin Young attended a Trump rally and tearfully thanked Trump for changing her life. She said she proudly stood on stage with Trump as Miss Wisconsin USA in 2005. However, years later she found herself struggling with an incurable illness and during her darkest days she explained that she received a handwritten letter from Trump telling her she’s the “bravest woman, I know.” She said the opportunities that she got from Trump and his organizations ultimately provided her Mexican-American son with a full-ride to college.
Lynne Patton, a black female executive for the Trump Organization, released a statement in 2016 defending her boss against accusations that he’s a racist and a bigot. She tearfully revealed how she’s struggled with substance abuse and addiction for years. Instead of kicking her to the curb, she said the Trump Organization and his entire family loyally stood by her through “immensely difficult times.”
Trump’s kindness knows no bounds and his generosity has and continues to touch the lives of people from every sex, race and religion. When Trump sees someone in need, he wants to help. Two decades ago, Oprah asked Trump in a TV interview if he’d run for president. He said: “If it got so bad, I would never want to rule it out totally, because I really am tired of seeing what’s happening with this country.” That day has come. Trump sees that America is in need and he wants to help – how unthinkable!
On the other hand. have you ever heard of Hillary or Obama ever doing suchthings with their own resources?

Awakening Nature and Creating a Portal of Fulfilment by Lord Melchizedek
Channeled through Natalie Glasson – – Original Source: Sacred School of OmNa ~ 15th September 2017
It is with the light and love of the Universe that I, Lord Melchizedek, come forth to be in your presence. You have access to the light and love of the Universe, you are aligned with everything that exists within the Universe of the Creator and can, therefore, bring it through your being into manifestation. You are a powerful receiver and emanator of light and wisdom; it is through your direct link to your intuition and the knowledge of your soul that you can manifest the Creator upon the Earth. Do not think of yourself as lacking, everything you need and require is present within you, you are a guardian of the Universe of the Creator, you know how to harness the energies and bring the divine will of the Creator into manifestation. The divine will of the Creator encourages you to feel and experience fulfilment; this is all the Creator wishes for you and the same for all beings.
In order to accept the divine will of the Creator and therefore experience fulfilment within your being and reality, there is a need to understand what fulfilment feels like for you. How would you feel within your being and reality if you were completely and absolutely fulfilled? I am not asking you what do you need or want in order to experience fulfilment, nor am I asking you how you believe you could be fulfilled. Instead, I wish for you to connect with the energy of fulfilment within you. Seek the feelings and sensations, states of being and perspectives of being completely and absolutely fulfilled without receiving, asking for or doing anything. When you discover the source of fulfilment within, accessing and embodying it fully then you are experiencing the divine will of the Creator. You are in the flow of the Creator, attracting experiences and situations which are in alignment with the energy of fulfilment within you. In truth, your inner reality manifests into your outer reality. You begin to receive the Creator, emanate the Creator’s light and manifest the light of the Creator to aid your fulfilment.
Expectations can hinder your experience of fulfilment. There is a fine line between focusing upon that which you wish to experience and dictating to the Creator that manifestations can only occur in the way you perceive they should. When you focus on an idea, you are sharing with the Creator an impression of something you would like to receive or experience. When you believe that a manifestation can only occur one way you are hindering the flow and expansion of the Creator, you are shutting yourself down and blocking yourself from receiving. You become the wall before you that obstructs your view of all the gifts being shared with you. Place your trust in the Creator and know that the Creator will deliver to you all that you require, the beautiful part is that it will be more magnificent than you could ever imagine. All you have to do is access the energy within you that is the fullest, most sacred expression of that which you wish to experience.
Being of Service with Fulfilment
When you access the energy and source of fulfilment within your being you allow every part of your being to exist in harmony with the Creator. Therefore, nothing is out of place; you receive all that you require with divine timing spiritually, emotionally, mentally and physically. You also align yourself with the Creator to support acceptance and manifestation of fulfilment within others and their realities. Your mission becomes to help others fulfil themselves by connecting with the Creator’s vibration of fulfilment within them and encouraging them to express fulfilment through all aspects of their being. You allow others to recognise their divine self and align their realities to this aspect of themselves. The Creator will then bring into your life souls who are ready to experience fulfilment; many may wish to experience fulfilment spiritually moving to the next levels of their ascension.
Fulfilment and Nature
I, Lord Melchizedek, am speaking to you of fulfilment because there are many aspects of Mother Earth who are waiting to experience an activation that will allow them to access new levels of consciousness, wisdom and Creator essence. When you have mastered the energy, flow and manifestation of fulfilment in your reality, so you become a master of being of service to others and assist many with ascension activations. Fulfilment is to be aligned with the Creator; you are naturally of service in beautiful and miraculous ways to others. Mother Earth, the nature kingdom and elemental kingdoms are waiting for many light workers on the Earth to access fulfilment. In doing so light workers will be able to recognise the presence and consciousness of fulfilment within Mother Earth, the nature kingdoms and elemental kingdoms. Such a recognition will be a symbol and an activation to Mother Earth, the nature kingdoms and elemental kingdoms that they can evolve to bring more light and truth to the Earth. Mother Earth, the nature kingdoms and elemental kingdoms are constantly anchoring light, love and wisdom into the reality of the Earth and humanity. It is only when the consciousness of humanity rises that they can bring forth higher vibrations, realise new wisdom and anchor truth.
As you recognise the energy of fulfilment in Mother Earth, the nature kingdoms and elemental kingdoms, so they project the same back to you from their essence. Together as you are projecting the energy of fulfilment to each other, both of you ascend in vibration, feeling yourselves being bathed in the Creator’s essence. Together you create a portal which draws light, love and consciousness from the Creator aligned with and to manifest the energy of fulfilment into the Earth. A downpour of powerful light and wisdom is anchored into all areas and kingdoms of Mother Earth creating a surge in the light of all. Many will feel they can achieve their dreams and desires with greater ease, some may feel a deeper connection and communication with the Creator, while others will feel more hope and happiness in their lives. In truth through the creation and opening of the portal, you will be healing each person’s pain of experiencing lack and aligning them with their natural energies of fulfilment within them. This will create a powerful shift in the consciousness of humanity, allowing many new vibrations of ascension to anchor and manifest. Healing the pain of lack is immensely powerful as it means that humanity will no longer create from the energy of lack, instead the energy of abundance and fulfilment. This creates a completely different vibration and even reality upon the Earth.
How to Awaken Nature and Create a Portal of Fulfilment
I, Lord Melchizedek wish to share and summarise some steps to guide you to be of service in activating nature and creating a portal of fulfilment with Mother Earth, the nature kingdoms and elemental kingdoms.
Seek, connect with and explore the source of the energy of fulfilment in existence within your being. Connect with your heart and soul, ask to be directed inwardly to recognise and realise the energy of fulfilment within you. It may be a sensation, feeling, thought or an acknowledgement. As you unite with the energy of fulfilment allow it to expand filling your entire being and expanding beyond your auric field. Enjoy and connect often with the energy of fulfilment within you gaining a deeper understanding and familiarity with the energy.
When in nature recognise that each aspect of nature holds the Creator’s energy of fulfilment. This is a beautiful and abundant energy which brings great joy and happiness. Recognise that you can communicate with, connect and co-create with any aspect of nature such as Mother Earth, the nature kingdoms and elemental kingdoms. When in nature connect with the energy of fulfilment within your being, then from the state of emanating fulfilment observe your chosen aspect of nature, allow yourself to recognise the Creator’s energy of fulfilment that is present. Observe how this manifests with different aspects of nature. Simply achieving this will create an activation within Mother Earth, the nature kingdoms and elemental kingdoms. They will be able to access more light, love and consciousness delivering it to the Earth.
When you feel as if you are able to recognise or acknowledge the presence of fulfilment within your being and Mother Earth or nature, you can then begin to co-create a portal of fulfilment to assist in healing humanity. With your energy of fulfilment emanating and a recognition of the energy of fulfilment in your chosen aspect of nature, use the below invocation to create a portal drawing healing and fulfilment to the Earth and humanity.
Awakening Nature and Creating a Portal of Fulfilment by Lord Melchizedek‘I am present with you……..(chosen aspect of nature) emanating the Creator’s essence of fulfilment. With support and love from the inner planes and Lord Melchizedek, we now merge our energy and essence of fulfilment to create a powerful portal of light. The intention of our creation of the portal is to anchor the Creator’s energy of fulfilment into the Earth and humanity. May humanity be healed, releasing all past experiences and wounds of lack. May lack be replaced with the energy of fulfilment activating from within their beings, drawing forth experiences of fulfilment, love, peace and truth. Let the portal activate and the healing begin. I allow myself to be of service most magnificently and appropriately. Thank you.’
Visualise, sense or acknowledge a portal or whirlwind of light forming before you from the energy of the aspect of nature you are working with and your own essence. Imagine light pouring into the Earth and humanity. Let yourself be guided as you co-create a deep healing for yourself and humanity. This practice can be achieved with numerous aspects of Mother Earth, with different trees, flowers, mountains, plants, rivers, fairies, elementals, nature spirits and of course Mother Earth. Let yourself co-create a portal of fulfilment whenever you are experiencing nature. Creating numerous portals with different aspects of Mother Earth will not only serve humanity but allow you to become a master of the energy of fulfilment, feeling fulfilled in every moment of your day and sharing this with others.
In constant support for your love and magnificence,
“In the long run, most Western and Eastern traditional metaphysics turn out to be a distraction away from The Individual.” (The Underground, Jon Rappoport)
The night is long, and the search is weird. Clues appear, and yet they unendingly point to other clues…and what is the real shape of the expedition? Is it a trap? Do the markers on the road produce nothing more than a closed circle?
The Outsider is an individual who looks at the complexity of events in today’s world, as he decides WHAT TO DO.
These events can seem to form a labyrinth. They’re connected in ways that bind them to each other. One path leads to another, and eventually, the individual finds himself back where he started—but not before going on a long strange trip in the maze.
During that trip, he loses contact with his own deep desires, because is fascinated and exhausted by the details of the labyrinth.
An apt analogy would be a treasure map. It promises victory and triumph, but as the seeker follows the thread, he enters a realm of cognitive dissonance, a dance in which he seems to be coming closer and yet moving further from the ultimate prize.
Authors and researchers have offered their interpretations of the nature of the trip: there are false trails; the mystery of life will always remain a mystery; the “invisible rulers” know how to hide themselves from the seeker…
Leaving these conclusions aside, I find that the individual’s true desire can be summarized in the question: WHAT DO I WANT TO CREATE?
Answering that question, and acting on the answer with full commitment, energy, determination, and power eventually, casts a bright light on the maze and reveals its patterns and its tricks.
In other words, there is a foundation from which the individual can launch his future, and that foundation is within his grasp—as I’ve just indicated.
Moving out from that platform, he gains new perspective. He sees the world in a new way. He stays outside the labyrinth, and he is able to act on it.
Otherwise, he sinks into it.
What I’m talking about here is more than advice. It’s a different slant on metaphysics. Traditionally, metaphysics concocts a picture of Reality in an ultimate form…and a cursory scan of Western philosophy reveals that every philosopher paints a different picture. However, a philosophy rooted in the individual turns up something else. It exposes the need for him to embark on creating the fulfillment of his deep desire in the world; and as a bonus, he has A MEANS FOR SEEING DEEPER REALITY ON HIS OWN.
That is how elevated seeing happens.
This is not a quick fix that occurs in three seconds or three minutes. This is not instant gratification. The maze promises instant pleasure. That is one of its strategies, designed for the more gullible among us.
The greatest secrets are the secrets we hide from ourselves.
That is how the labyrinth gains its power.
But the individual has greater power, and it is inherent in him:
CREATIVE POWER.

What has been called The Matrix is a series of layers. These layers compose what we call Reality. Reality is not merely the consensus people accept in their daily lives. It is also a personal and individual conception of limits. It is a perception that these limits are somehow built into existence. But this is not true.
What I’ve done here is remove the lid on those perceived limits. This isn’t an intellectual undertaking. It’s a way to open up space and step on to a new road, with new power.

Robert Chandler in his 2008 book SHADOW WORLD tells how Plato explained the differences between images and reality in their simplest and perhaps purest form some 2,400 years ago.

Transition - Moving From a 3-D Money-Based System to 5-D Full Consciousness
The crucial questions everyone is asking are:
Why are the Galactics so focused on money and prosperity?
Why are they not simply fast-forwarding their arrival?
Why must we first transition through abundance and prosperity programs?
In this Webinar Sheldan explains why a money transition phase is necessary as a first step before announcements and the landings can occur.
• Power Corrupts - How the power-hungry cabal has exploited humanity.
• Debt Slavery - How a money-based system has kept us in servitude.
• Why the Galactic Federation requires us to transition through prosperity programs and abundance.
• Why the Cabals are making it so difficult for us to financially move forward.
•Why our current banking system needs to change to allow prosperity funds finally to be delivered: a look ahead to when this can be accomplished.
• What happens during delivery of prosperity funds and after.
• After the transition phase: when and how we will be able to travel to Inner Earth and enter our light chambers.
• What will happen to our money and possessions once we become fully conscious beings of light.
Everything is happening in the moment. So as you are offering a vibration in your now, you are receiving the result of that vibration. When you make your transition into the Non-physical, you re-emerge into Pure Positive Energy, and you leave all resistance behind. Everyone who makes their transition reaps the glory of Pure Positive Energy. That is really upsetting to those who want the bad ones to be punished. But it does not happen. Punishment is a concoction of man’s disconnected mind.

Please Shepherd - Jurisdiction, Air, Land, and Sea
By Anna Von Reitz
Dear Paul-- I am in a location where all I have is a cell phone. Please post this info to my list and Facebook wall, too? I am eternally grateful. We continue to make progress, slow but sure. The can has been kicked down the road another 90 days. Some initial currency trades may take place, but that appears to be limited at this point.
What I want to get through to people today is the entire concept of jurisdiction.
The way the world is organized reflects the way the Earth is organized in separate "realms" of air, land, and sea.
Air is global in nature and deals with matters of energy, spirit and intellect. This is the realm of copyrights and patents and all intellectual property rights. This is also where we find ecclesiastical and canon law.
The realm of the sea is international in nature and deals with matters of commerce and trade between nations. This is where you find Sea Treaties affecting the flow of goods between nations and the Law of Nations affecting international agreements such as United Nations Declarations. This is the realm of Maritime (Commercial) Law and Admiralty (Martial) Law.
Finally, there is the Land which is national in nature. This is where you find - in America-- county and state law. Remember that in our country each state is a nation, so that the words "interstate" and "international" mean the same thing for us. This is the realm of American Common Law and the actual Constitution.
Please note that there are many forms of "Common Law" and you must specify "American Common Law" or you may easily find yourselves operating under "Martial Common Law" or "English Common Law" or whatever else a particular court may have on offer.
So--air, land, and sea also translates as global, national, and international.
Over time the Popes and the British Monarchs have colluded to usurp upon the national governments owed to the living people throughout the world and have sought to replace our national governments with governmental services corporations instead.
They have largely succeeded and have abused the trust of the entire world.
All incorporated entities (called legal fictions) are ultimately created in the realm of the air by the Roman Curia. C Corps, S Corps, LLCs, Trusts, Foundations and Cooperatives have all been created by the Roman Catholic Church's Secular Hierarchy headed by the Pope in his Office of the Pontiff.
So, although these things all function in the realm of commerce and under the Law of the Sea, they have their genesis and domicile in the realm of the air. As a result, the Pope and the Curia can control and disband any corporation on Earth -- including those functioning "as" governments.
The American situation is unique because its governmental functions in international jurisdiction have always been split between the delegated functions exercised by the British-controlled Territorial Government dba "United States" and the non-delegated "reserved powers" of the actual United States government doing business as The United States of America.
The Municipal United States Government arising out of Article 1, Section 8, Clause 17 has been run as an independent international city-state organization out of Washington, DC.
Both the Territorial United States and the Municipal United States have long since been converted into corporations under the ultimate control of the Roman Curia and the Holy See, yet functioning in the realm of international commerce-- under the day-to-day control of the British Monarch.
The Popes and the British Monarchs thus surreptitiously empowered have contrived to "redefine" the nature of government on Earth into a form of Commercial Feudalism.
On the land there remain the Unincorporated Governments of the Earth--- the land jurisdiction governments of the nations of the world which have fallen asleep and one by one been overtaken by the creeping commercial rot from within.
Be aware that sovereignty is a characteristic which only unincorporated entities have, so that the only sovereign governments are unincorporated.
It has been the apparent intention of the Popes to incorporate all government organizations worldwide by offering these organizations benefits-- like the ability to go bankrupt, known as "limited liability"--- while purposefully leaving their own government, the Holy See, as the only unincorporated (and therefore only sovereign) government.
This has been done on the backs of the people who have had to absorb the losses of all these bankrupt for-profit entities.
Thus the scam has been to entrap and enslave both people and lawful land jurisdiction governments as "franchises" of governmental services corporations -- all of which have been subjected under the rule of the Holy See.
And the land jurisdiction governments and the people have been enticed into this "system" based on "benefits" which they have literally paid for themselves.
By providing some businesses and people limited liability at the cost of all the others, the Roman Pontiff has seduced virtually all world governments to incorporate and subject themselves to be ruled by the Holy See.
The only exceptions now are Iran, North Korea, The United States of America (Unincorporated) and a handful of Pacific Island Kingdoms.
In doing all this chicanery both the Holy See and the British Monarchs have operated in Gross Breach of Trust and under Color of Law and have used ample means of fraud and deceit to pursue their ends.
At which point it becomes self-evident that we have-- the entire Earth-- suffered at the hands of crime syndicates masquerading as the lawful government of Great Britain and the Roman Catholic Church: evil in high places, indeed.
The Holy See is not the Catholic Church.
The "United States" is not America and not the American states.
The United Kingdom is not Great Britain. Great Britain is not England.
It is high and holy time that all the people of the Earth woke up and put a stop to this fraud and demanded an end to this "system" of things.
We left Feudalism and Robber Barons behind a long time ago and, speaking for the American States and People--- who are the Priority Creditors of all these bankrupt Territorial and Municipal corporations worldwide--- we see no reason to go back to the Dark Ages.
It is time, rather, for the Church to be a Church, and for the government of England to return to the people.
We are in the process of re-venuing the American Government back to the land jurisdiction where it belongs.
Time for the rest of the world to get busy and do the same.

There are four major symbols I want to take up here.
The important thing to remember is: these symbols conspire to produce a “view of self” in the patient.
The patient comes to see himself in a certain way, and this way implies a reduction of his own power.
Reducing his own power, he literally sees himself as smaller.
The cascade of effects continues. Seeing himself as smaller, he comes to believe he has no significant role in his own health and well-being.
And armed with that conviction, he comes to believe he is gradually deteriorating.
This belief is a perception, a view of self. This view, like a magnet, attracts and interprets events as further evidence of weakening and deterioration…
This reality is far from the only possible one, but it is the one the patient chooses.
The first symbol is SYMPTOM. The person sees and experiences feelings and physical manifestations, and in the doctor’s office, he learns these are symptoms that collectively MEAN SOMETHING. He has symptoms. These are not random, he is told. They are not transient. They cannot be ignored. They will not go away on their own. They are serious.
The second symbol is CONDITION. The doctor’s diagnosis of the symptoms makes it clear that the patient has a disease, an illness, a disorder. A label is applied. A name. There is no doubt that the patient has this named disease. This is a THING. An entity. It is not a passing phenomenon. It is solid and stable. It is singular.
The third symbol is TREATMENT. This is what the doctor tells the patient he must do. Take a medicine. Have surgery. The treatment will get rid of the condition. The treatment is specific. It is geared to address the condition. It is the solution to the problem.
The fourth symbol is the DOCTOR. He knows. Nobody else knows. He is the authority. He is in charge of recognizing the symptoms, which lead him to make the diagnosis of the condition, which is turn leads him to prescribe the treatment. This progression is lock-step. There no other factors to consider. The doctor has effectively ruled out all other possibilities.
These four symbols lead the patient into a state of obedience. And in that state, he realizes his own power is beside the point and is irrelevant.
Of course, this is not the first time he has been to the doctor’s office. This is not the first time he has been put through this progression of the four symbols. Therefore, the effect on him, over time, is magnified.
Each successive visit to the doctor confirms he can and does develop new sets of symptoms—and each set implies a new condition.
As the conditions pile up, the patient is more convinced than ever that he is composed of diseases that appear “out of nowhere.”
He views himself as a set of symptoms which indicate a condition and imply a treatment. This is, in a sense, who and what he is.
Over time, his conditions tend to be more serious.
He never imagines that the toxic treatments he is taking are contributing to, or causing these more serous conditions—because each disease has a separate name, as if it exists in a vacuum. The doctor handles each diagnosis in that fashion. “Now you have this…and now you have that.”
When the patient reaches a point where he views himself as BEING these symptoms and conditions and very little else, he simply waits for the next arrival of the next set of symptoms and the next condition.
This is how powerful symbols can be.
In a better world, people would be educated in the use and effects of symbols, before succumbing to them.
Some would say, “What do you mean, symbols? The doctor is real, I do have physical problems, the doctor really does make a diagnosis, and I do take real medicines. Why are you talking about symbols?”
Because what locks a person in is what happens in his mind. And what happens in his mind is this parade of symbols. That’s what forms the basis of HIS VIEW OF HIMSELF. He rolls these symbols around in his mind and accepts them and locks himself in, and he sees himself as deteriorating.
“I am a deteriorating person. That’s who I am. That’s what I am. I’m waiting for the next round of symptoms and the diagnosis and treatment from the doctor. Any other ideas about what I am and what I can do are beside the point. No reason to entertain them. I have the potential to be more than a deteriorating person? What does that even mean? It makes no sense.”
The person doesn’t understand symbols, doesn’t understand how he is dealing with them, and so he closes the book on his life and future.
This process is not necessary, but he doesn’t grasp that.
Am I claiming that everything is in the mind? Nothing else possibly matters? No one ever really gets sick? No. But I am saying a shocking amount of what turns out to be a person’s future or non-future flows from how he recognizes, or doesn’t recognize, symbols and how he reads them and interprets them, how he accepts or rejects them, how he choose to surpass them or succumb to them.
Yes, there is a doctor. Yes, there is such a thing as physical illness. Yes, the doctor is delivering a diagnosis and calling it a condition. But these factors are not in the mind, unless the physical doctor can squeeze himself into the patient’s head. In the mind, there are symbols of these elements—and that is what the patient is dealing with, for better or for worse.
And over the long-term, for most patients, it’s worse.

JK Rowling, Clooney, Trudeau: put immigrants in your homes
by Jon Rappoport
Millions of people want to boost an open-borders policy for the whole world.
For them, things are moving too slowly.
I have the solution. But there is an unfathomable glitch…
Charity begins at home, doesn’t it?
Let’s call it “proof of concept.”
People like George Clooney, JK Rowling, and Justin Trudeau have plenty of money and plenty of room in their houses. They all support open borders, don’t they?
Why should they insist governments find homes for illegal immigrants, when they won’t provide homes for them? What’s the problem here? You would think these high-profile celebrities would want to set an example for others to follow.
Are they afraid? Are they too busy to attend to the needs of migrants? They can assign that job to their staffs. By taking new arrivals into their homes, they can make a huge symbolic difference for all migrants from Nigeria, Somalia, and Syria.
They could start a trend. They could shame their fellow celebrities into following suit. This could be the start of something big.
And why stop at immigrants? Why can’t celebs who support Antifa and Black Lives Matter house a few dozen of those members as well?
Read what Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said this summer: “Anytime I meet people who got to make the deliberate choice, whose parents chose Canada, I’m jealous. Because I think being able to choose it, rather than being Canadian by default, is an amazing statement of attachment to Canada…You chose this country. This is your country more than it is for others because we take it for granted.”
That’s a very bold position. Why can’t Trudeau follow up and bring, say, 50 newly minted immigrants into his home to live permanently? Why can’t he interact with them on a daily basis? Why can’t he personally put money into their bank accounts and make sure they’re comfortable?
Unless there is some invisible reason why charity doesn’t begin at home. Perhaps there is a secret elite code of conduct we’re not aware of. It could be as simple and prosaic as: do what I say, not what I do. That would be disappointing, wouldn’t it?
Is it possible—and I’m just speculating here—that these wealthy supporters of open borders are only interested in signaling their “position” to others?
Is that what’s going on? They’re sending up smoke signals—or blowing smoke up everybody’s rear ends?
That would surely be disappointing, wouldn’t it?
I would rather believe these celebs are merely guilty of an oversight. They were going to invite dozens of migrants into their houses, but appointments and meetings and projects got in the way. They forgot. It was on their agenda, but their assistants failed to follow up. Didn’t prepare the rooms, didn’t buy the flowers, didn’t make up the beds with new sheets, didn’t stock food, didn’t hire tutors, didn’t do research to discover the necessary religious rules to follow. They didn’t figure out what words shouldn’t be spoken and what actions shouldn’t be taken in the home.
Let’s hear from these elite champions of equality and justice. Let them explain the delay. I’m sure when they do, it’ll make perfect sense. We’ll all breathe a sigh of relief. These celebrities, whom we of course admire, aren’t hypocrites. No. They’re just behind schedule. It happens.
Hasn’t it happened to you? You spoke to the Rolls Royce dealer, but then you forgot to order the car. You were going to buy 40 new iPhones with facial recognition for your staff, but then you were distracted by your lawyer, who pointed out there were several omissions in your contract to do a movie in Tahiti. You were in negotiations to purchase an estate in Russia, but then your agent mentioned that this could be interpreted as a sign that you weren’t serious about claiming the US is already at war with Putin.
However, first thing tomorrow, you’ll put all those matters aside and make provisions for several dozen single male migrants in their 20s and give them rooms and suites in your home.
Forgive me for gnawing on this issue, but it’s disturbing. For example, consider the relative benefits, for an immigrant, of living in a cramped apartment in a big city and collecting meager welfare payments, versus living in a mansion in Beverly Hills and eating meals prepared by a talented chef. Even if only a few lucky migrants can hit the jackpot, it lets us know there is a modicum of justice in this world—and celebrities are proving it.
Social justice warriors with considerable personal wealth, on a planet with 7.442 billion people, are in short supply. Isn’t it obvious that they should step up to the plate?
Here is Forbes’ estimate of JK Rowling’s wealth: “J.K. Rowling is now worth some $650 million, Forbes estimates, her fortune boosted by payouts from theme parks in Florida, California and Japan.”
“That figure would be higher had she not donated an estimated $150 million to charity over the years. Yet still it climbs: Thanks to Harry Potter and the Cursed Child–a new London theatrical production and published script–plus Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, a 2016 movie-and-script-book combo, Rowling banked $95 million in the 12 months to June 2017.”
Good for her. Congratulations. No problem. Now, all she has to do is house perhaps 500 single male immigrants in her houses to confirm her position on immigration. It’s a small gesture.
I’m betting she’ll do it. I know she will. She’s kind, she’s generous, she’s thoughtful, she’s a crusader. What could possibly stop her?
One caveat. She can’t buy an estate and set it aside for those 500 migrants. She has to live with them in the same home. That would set the tone. That would hit the mark. That would make a bold statement to the whole world.
Bold statements are what we need in these troubled times.
Inspire Earth, you celebs.

Transition - Moving From a 3-D Money-Based System to 5-D Full Consciousness
The crucial questions everyone is asking are:
Why are the Galactics so focused on money and prosperity?
Why are they not simply fast-forwarding their arrival?
Why must we first transition through abundance and prosperity programs?
In this Webinar Sheldan explains why a money transition phase is necessary as a first step before announcements and the landings can occur.
• Power Corrupts - How the power-hungry cabal has exploited humanity.
• Debt Slavery - How a money-based system has kept us in servitude.
• Why the Galactic Federation requires us to transition through prosperity programs and abundance.
• Why the Cabals are making it so difficult for us to financially move forward.
•Why our current banking system needs to change to allow prosperity funds finally to be delivered: a look ahead to when this can be accomplished.
• What happens during delivery of prosperity funds and after.
• After the transition phase: when and how we will be able to travel to Inner Earth and enter our light chambers.
• What will happen to our money and possessions once we become fully conscious beings of light.
The latest guidance from the Ascended Masters, Galactics, Earth Elementals, Faery Elders, Angels and Archangels known as the Collective:
Greetings, Makers of the New Earth!
We are pleased to have this time to speak with you again today.
We are seeing profound change occurring now, in these post-eclipse, post-Lion’s Gate, autumn (or spring) equinox days.
You may be feeling a strange assortment of energies flowing through and around you now.
We are aware that many are feeling a “disturbance in the Force” in their mental/emotional/physical journey.
It is actually not a matter of the infinite flow of Source Energy itself being disturbed, but of particular inner paradigms and energy patterns—thoughts, feelings, symbols, and energy imprints—that you have carried for years, in this life or a number of lives.
The disturbance is the feeling of shock as a whole new vibration enters their world, and your overall world.
This can manifest in numerous ways.
You may feel the need to release objects you have owned for a while, or find that you are looking at them as things you barely recognize as your own.
You may feel the need to dramatically shift your daily living patterns, where you live, or the form of work you do.
Or to change or release a relationship you have been in for a while.
You may desire more or less food, or suddenly tangibly feel the dense energy and unhealthful heaviness of animal products.
Or you may begin to see animals differently, realizing that you are able to speak with them telepathically, and see their personhood.
You may be seeing objects such as rocks and trees, and even blades of grass or weeds by the side of the road, as living, breathing beings who have a story to tell, a journey to take.
All of these are indications of the unprecedented higher vibrations traveling through all of your energy systems now.
Some vibrations you will recalibrate to and flow with easily and joyfully, without feeling their effects as being jarring or new.
Some part of your consciousness will respond happily, as you open to these Light forms, almost asking, “Where have you been?”
Other vibrations will cause quite a disturbance in the Source Energy that is you; you may suddenly, in the middle of your day, experience anger, intolerance for certain ideas or situations, grief, or a feeling that you must seek renewal on a very deep level.
Your body may require far less rest, or far more.
You may feel tired but find sleep difficult. Or your dreams may seem as if they have come to you from someone else’s consciousness.
None of this is unusual for a person or a race of beings experiencing the integration of those higher frequencies that you came to experience while in physical form, yet have limited memory of.
We would say, that when the anger, the grief, the impatience, or intolerance arise, be kind to yourself.
Your “spiritually trained” mental processes may chide you for judging another, for viewing a family problem as a crime or misdemeanor, or for becoming impatient, or losing your temper with someone.
Apologize where needed, but do not be shocked or displaced by these moments.
Allow them to flow, without judgment.
They may often include anger or grief arising—or oddly, a compassion that was never there before—regarding some relationship or experience you had years ago, the energies of which have never quite been resolved.
Understand that when you are encountering those feelings, you are encountering much of the old density that you came here to finally realize, feel, and resolve.
None of this is accidental, and none of it is wrong.
Move away from the polarity of thinking that “this is lovely and spiritual, but that is just bad—it’s very dense in vibration, so I shouldn’t be feeling that.”
Those dense emotions, thoughts, and realizations are coming to the surface because they are crying out to be heard!
Crying out to be healed, to be loved—not judged.
And so now your job switches quite dramatically, dear ones, from that of what you have been taught over the centuries.
There is no room now for the strictures and encumbrances of organized religion, which stand like a guardian over each of its followers, reminding each of what they have done, thought, or felt that is Wrong, and how this proves their unworthiness.
This is one of the great fissures, one of the great gaps in human consciousness, that must now be felt, realized, and healed.
There is no place now on the Earth for that narrowness or denial of the need for healing and self-Love by any body of thought or social order that makes its living by telling others that they are intrinsically “bad.”
That they have failed themselves and God, and that they were born into the very state they are criticized for.
Those teachings entirely deny your god/goddess essence, your co-Creative power, your soul’s incalculable ability to constantly learn, progress forward, and Know on a level that mere words and ideas can never grasp.
We see so many millions around the world working to pull their lives together after a tumult of storms, floods, fires, earthquakes, or other disasters, including armed conflict.
And we ask that for their sake, you release the need to judge the tumult that has occurred in your own Earth lives.
We ask that you release the need to judge how you handled those situations, spoke to those people (or did not), and felt about those experiences, both then and now.
In this time when millions are demanding the human rights of each person, whatever their beliefs, ethnicity, background, medical needs, or income level, you must see the parallels occurring in your own life.
This great wave of human emotion, spurring on compassion and self-knowing to unforeseen levels, all the more greatly empowers you to admit that you are also someone worth fighting for.
You are, as the child who was abused, the teen who was never listened to, the woman or man who was cheated, abused, discriminated against—you are all here for the sacred and glorious reason of blessing that very density you came to experience, and allowing to Be.
Allowing it in all its darker shades and rough or knife-sharp textures, without trying to change what happened in your imagination or memory.
Without blaming yourself, or the one who was the aggressor, or the passive bystander.
Do what you can now to allow all to Be, while rising above the judgment, and the need to despise that painful shadow aspect of Earth life that is fading now—from outer circumstance, and from your consciousness.
In time you will remember it as one remembers a pencil on the counter—an object that has no emotional resonance for you, yet has been a helpful tool for learning.
This is Who you are, dear ones!
Those who would subjugate you to foolish regulations, needless financial burdens, and unnecessary overconsumption of goods and bad food, have no idea yet Who they are dealing with.
Yet you do know.
You know your power, and through the miracle of self-Love and acceptance of all you have seen, felt, done, and heard, you are diving head-first into that depth that reminds you of all you have Created.
And so we stand by you, as always, not to be the ones to empower, but merely to be the ones who witness your increasing self-empowerment.
And that springs as ever from your own high Spirits, your own souls, your Universe.
Namaste, co-Creators!
You are more powerful than you yet know!
And we are with you, always.

Humanity is now integrating the release of massive dark energies in recent days and are absorbing more light. A lot of the discord on the planet is coming from their newly cleansed soul sending them positive messages in conflict with their media stimulated dark images resulting in an internal 'civil war' overflowing into erratic behaviors. All part of the healing, much like a teenager going through puberty - one day an adult and the next an irrational child.
Saints Were Warned And Didn't Listen, What Lawmaker Is Taking From Them All
It's Official! Saints Were Warned And Didn't Listen, Now Look What Lawmaker
Is Taking From Them All
By Amanda Shea
The New Orleans Saints hopped on the protesting bandwagon this past weekend, to prove a point to the president that they will kneel if they want to. Like all other teams and players who sat out for the National Anthem this weekend, the message seemed to be more about disrespecting Donald Trump than it was about the "cause" that Colin Kaepernick started last season. Although they were warned, the team didn't listen and are feeling the full wrath of who really has the power with what a Louisiana lawmaker just did to them. The NFL is no longer America's sport or favorite pastime, it's been hijacked by racists who are using the public platform to spread divisive propaganda. It's gotten so out of hand, that the President of the United States has had to address the anti-American players personally and tell them to stop. This only fueled their fire and sparked a league-wide protest that consumed every game over the weekend.
The Saints were among the teams who decided that after Trump's comments calling out protesters, that they would take part in it too. Despite knowing that there's ramifications that come from this, they apparently thought they were above punishment and made their point anyway. Within 24-hours of Saints players taking a knee, Lousiana State Rep. Kenny Havard sent his own message to these entitled players, loud and clear. The only thing that can get a player to do what's he's paid to do is to take away the one thing that's the most important to them. The NFL Commissioner and even the coaches are afraid, or simply refuse, to do it, but one blunt lawmaker is prepared to step up to the plate to do what's long overdue. "The very reason (the Saints) have the privilege and opportunity to play professional football while being paid millions is because someone in uniform died protecting their right to do so," Havard stated after announcing a devastating cut he's proposing.
"Louisiana State Rep. Kenny Havard, R-St. Francisville, said Monday morning that he wants to cut millions in state tax dollars, exemptions, and credits allocated to the New Orleans Saints, the NFL and any of those groups' associated facilities that receive funding," The Advocate reported. "Havard's statement didn't specify the amount of state money that he proposed be diverted from the Saints the NFL," the report continued. "According to a 2015 Forbes story, Saints and Pelicans owner Tom Benson was' set to rake in an estimated $392 million from state subsidies through 2025.'" Harvard finally said what everyone else refuses to point out about why this unprecedented move is so important.
"Disrespecting our national anthem and flag in the name of social injustice is the highest form of hypocrisy," Havard stated. "Our free society made possible by our fighting men and women has made available free education, free lunch, housing and free healthcare and is now be considered socially unjust," he added. "It is time the taxpayers quit subsidizing protest on big boy playgrounds. I believe in the right to protest but, not at a taxpayer-subsidized sporting event. Do it on your own time. There are plenty of disabled children, elderly and veterans in this state that would appreciate the money."
Just how painful would this be to the Saints if passed? Well, if you're the team owner, which Tom Benson is, it could be a loss of $392 million, which is what Forbes projected he benefits from state subsidies through 2025, according to Sarah Palin.
Money talks and is more important to players, coaches, and owners than the message they are sending to America and our president. It's "funny" how irrelevant a point gets when you impose punishment and take away what's really important to these people. It's time to stop paying these players to protest since that's not their job anyway.
"The report said during the Mercedes-Benz Superdome lease 'the state will pay Benson at least $198 million in increased revenue from the Superdome, $142 million in rental payments on property Benson owns, $10 million in bonuses for bringing the Super Bowl to New Orleans and $2.6 million in tax breaks. Benson will get another $40 million from private rent payments to a tower he bought as part of the deal.'" Those in the NFL who support these protests or sit idly by and do nothing about it, grossly underestimated the American people. The sports fan base is largely patriotic and a majority of the people in this country, side with Trump on his stance, not the league's, according to a recent poll. So it's time to start listening to the people who pay these big bills with their tax dollars earned at jobs where political statements like this wouldn't be tolerated while on the clock. Athletes in the NFL should be treated no different just because they can throw a ball better than others.

NFL In Panic Mode After What Full List Of Every Sponsor Who Supported Protesting Athletes Shows
NFL In Panic Mode After What Full List Of Every Sponsor Who Supported Protesting Athletes Shows
The NFL DOES NOT want this to get out!
By Prissy Holly Facebook Twitter
When Americans turn on the TV to watch NFL football, the last thing they want is to be bombarded by the anti-American sentiments of "oppressed" millionaires whining about the "injustices" of our country.
Over the past couple of weeks nearly-empty stadiums and viewership plummeting into the double digits has spelled disaster for the NFL of things to come, as angry fans prove they can easily find other ways to spend their money and precious time.
Over the weekend, players held massive protests across the NFL to defy President Trump's call for Americans to boycott them, where over 200 athletes took a knee or sat, with entire teams choosing to stay in the locker room as the National Anthem played.
These players have grown increasingly cocky over the past week, believing they're unstoppable, while ignoring the will of their patriotic fans, who are now causing their viewership to plummet into the double digits.
As more and more angry Americans are boycotting the NFL in droves, unfortunately for this anti-American establishment, a list of all their corporate sponsors have just leaked, and now Americans have a list of corporations and businesses to boycott, as angry fans look for new ways to send a clear message to the NFL that will will not tolerate these players' disgusting behavior any longer.
If there's one thing we've learned from liberals, it's how to fight dirty.
Whenever liberals go after conservatives, they always go directly for their sponsors and lead boycotts of products and companies. Well now it's time for WE THE PEOPLE to take the exact same approach towards our favorite sport being hijacked by these nasty anti-American leftists, and put a stop to the NFL once and for all by protesting with our wallets.
Below is a list of the NFL's 25 corporate sponsors. Spread this like wildfire!

Last week, Hurricane Maria made devastating direct hits on Puerto Rico and Dominica and also thrashed the Dominican Republic, Turks and Caicos and the U.S. and British Virgin Islands. As I write this, it has weakened to a Category 1 storm and is 300 miles off the coast of North Carolina, slowly moving north. While it is not forecast to make landfall, it is expected to bring heavy winds, rain and storm surge to parts of North Carolina as well as high winds and dangerous rip currents up and down the East Coast. Maria is predicted to turn northeast away from the U.S. coast later this week.
Hurricane Maria followed in the wake of Hurricane Irma, which tore through the Caribbean a few weeks ago. Due to the destruction left behind by both storms, cruise ports currently are closed in Puerto Rico, St. Thomas, St. Croix, St. Barts, St. Maarten, Dominica, Turks & Caicos, Tortola and Barbuda.
Our hearts and prayers go out to everyone who has been affected by these deadly storms.

Stanford professor exposed as Monsanto shill and Forbes fraudster
Stanford professor exposed as Monsanto shill and Forbes fraudster
More news keeps breaking from those discovery documents in the California lawsuit.
Now we're discovering that a Stanford "fellow" named Henry Miller is an academic prostitute who peddled fake editorials to "Forbes" that were actually written by Monsanto.
He lied about it for years and now got caught via his own emails.
Also today: A shocking new development in organ transplants means the medical industry will grow fields of pigs in bio-factories to be killed and organ harvested for human transplants.
The Health Ranger Store now carries a wide selection of certified organic, lab-verified mushrooms powders. From shiitake mushrooms to reishi mushrooms to chaga mushrooms, we've got it all at the Health Ranger Store.
Soooo Close to Goal to Help Cut Immigration and Pass E-Verify. This is the year we can finally restore sanity to our immigration system... but we need your help!
Dear Thomas,
It's the end of our fiscal year, and our NumbersUSA Action Fund hasn't made our annual budget yet. We're close -- real close. We have about $20,000 to go... and 5 days to get there. Only our Action fund can pay for the political activity, like faxes, phone calls, lobbying, that we MUST finance now. Every donation we receive helps pay for many faxes, phone calls and e-mails. We send real messages from members of Congress's own constituents. And that gives us unique influence in Congress. If you're waiting for the best possible time to give to NumbersUSA, now is that time. This is the time of the greatest need, the greatest opportunity.
We need to prepare for very expensive, bruising battles to pass E-Verify, end chain migration and the visa lottery, and pass funding to fully enforce the laws we already have. Our costs are going to go up, and we haven't even met this year's costs. But this is also our great opportunity. Our forces in Washington have never been stronger. This is the best environment in our history to dramatically cut immigration! We won't let our members down. We can't have come so far without being able to seal the deal! But there still are leaders in the Republican party who desperately wish the issue would just go away. And it's not enough to win over only one party, even if we could count on unanimous support... which we can't. We're going to have to fight for congressional votes in every state. Can you imagine what would have happened if NumbersUSA Action hadn't had the money to put up our best fight in 2006 when Congress tried to pass McCain-Kennedy? Or when they tried to pass the DREAM Act in 2010,... or the Gang of Eight in 2013? We stopped all those amnesties. But now our challenge is even tougher. We have to PASS legislation, gathering all those Republicans and purple-state Democrats. That's why we're raising $100,000 this month. We have less than $20,000 to go. Can you imagine if we fought all these years, only to come up short when we had a President pushing to cut immigration in half? Pushing for more interior enforcement? And to fully implement E-Verify so illegal aliens wouldn't be lured here to take American jobs? We're going to fight our hardest, but we need your support! Please give the largest donation you can make. Thank you.
3) Check -- see the instructions and a form to print out and send with your check.
4) Call (703) 816-8820 to arrange a wire transfer, stock donation, or to make a credit card donation over the phone. If our office is closed, please leave the time and your phone number and we will call back.
P. S.: If you are ill, unemployed, or living on a small fixed income, please do not contribute. We only ask for help from those able to help.

Try being politically INcorrect if you want some real answers
by Jon Rappoport
Dear NFL Players:
In case you’ll only read a few worlds of this story, I’ll get right to the point.
You’re being used.
You’re being duped into focusing on the wrong issue: police brutality against black people.
If you actually want to solve what’s happening to black people in inner cities, police brutality is way down on the list.
By focusing only on brutality, you’re leading people AWAY FROM seeing what’s really going on in inner cities. You’re guaranteeing NO ANSWERS. You’re guaranteeing NO CHANGE.
“Let’s not solve the problem, whatever the problem is. Let’s just ramp up the conflict and the polarization between races.”
Let’s go back to the original protestor, ex-quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who made his original kneeling protest about police brutality directed at black people. I want to examine his premise.
Here are bare-bones statistics from New York City, perhaps the only big city in America that issues a detailed annual report of police “firearms discharges.” You may be shocked.
Population of NYC: 8.3 million.
Police officers: 35,000.
2013 incidents of “intentional [police weapon] discharges during an adversarial conflict”: 40.
In those discharges, number of people injured: 17.
In that same year, according to the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services, there were 7,462 “violent crimes by firearm” in New York City.
Who was the busier class of people in 2013? Cops or criminals? Which group caused, by far, the greater amount of human destruction of black people?
Philly.com has reported on several other American cities.
“Philadelphia’s rate of police shootings [2012], when compared against the number of violent crimes, was 2.90 per 1,000 incidents [of violent crime].”
“The rate of [police] shootings in Houston for 2012 was 1.25 [per 1000 violent crimes].”
“In 2012, the rate of police shootings in Dallas was 2.39 [per 1000 violent crimes].”
“In 2011, the rate of police shootings in Las Vegas stood at 1.66.”
“Baltimore’s rate [2011] was 1.58.”
Again, I ask: in those cities, who was the busier class of people? The cops or the criminals?
If facts don’t scare you, do a little research and discover who, by and large, is committing most of those violent crimes in US cities. By race.
Media outlets don’t ask and answer this simple question. They parse and evade and blow smoke. They trumpet small increases in the rate of police shootings and, therefore, obscure chronic inner-city conditions [e.g., violent crimes].
And as long as they keeping doing that, the public will continue to be distracted, and nothing will change.
As long as Colin Kaepernick and his supporters keep focusing only on police brutality, the problem of violent crime and poverty and other chronic devastations in inner cities won’t change at all.
Is that what you protestors want? No change at all?
What are the real devastations in inner cities populated by black people?
* Violent crime.
* Drugs.
* Gangs, some of whom are low-level dealers for Mexican cartels.
* Grinding poverty.
* Jobs stolen by Globalists and sent to foreign lands.
* Toxic chemicals (lead in water, landfills where corporate pollutants are dumped).
These are the most real problems—police brutality is far down on the list.
In other articles, I’ve written about solutions to some of these problems. Here, I’ll simply say that if you NFL protestors want to make a difference, you need to stand up and do something harder than you’re doing now. Right now, you’re unwitting agents of NO CHANGE and racial divide-and-conquer.
YOU’RE FOCUSING ON POLICE BRUTALITY, AS IF THAT’S THE DEEPEST PROBLEM IN BLACK INNER CITIES. It isn’t. So you’re leading people away from recognizing and admitting what the real problems are.
What you’re doing now, men, isn’t going to work. You’re only going to sow more conflict.
And by the way, all those thinly disguised Leftist sports writers and columnists and broadcasters who are “resolutely coming to your defense?” They’re useless. They aren’t doing you any favors. They’re mainly interested in appearing virtuous. Some of them are scared not to appear virtuous.
But look, if you don’t want to solve the biggest problems in inner cities, if that doesn’t interest you, if that’s politically incorrect and you don’t want to touch that with a ten-foot pole, it’s understandable.
Just go out on the field and play football then.
Admit your protests are nothing more than polarizing distractions from the real issues.
Admit you’re galvanizing black people in the wrong direction, away from meaningful solutions. You’re adding to the problem.
By the way, if you think government is the ultimate answer to the conditions in inner cities, consider this: since 1966, when President Lyndon Johnson declared the mighty War on Poverty, it’s estimated that two trillion dollars have been poured into black neighborhoods, to “lift them up.”
How has that worked out? Where has all the money actually gone? Who stole how much of that money? How do those black neighborhoods look today? Where are the Congressmen who want that situation investigated?
Do you get the feeling that someone somewhere wants black inner cities to fail and keep on failing? And failure is part and parcel of a vicious agenda?
In which case, you’re actually on the side of promoting failure. Your protests are Pied Piper tunes leading the people of inner cities into deeper despair. And away from the truth, away from the most pressing problems.
You’re being used. You’re agents.
When you signed your NFL contracts, did you have any idea things would work out this way?
Well, they have.
You’re looking a simple formula here. Understand it. It’s been used all over the world for centuries. If there are 10 things people could really do to solve a horrendous chronic situation, highlight some other problem that won’t lead TO ANY SOLUTION. Focus on that. Enlist high-profile people to keep focusing on that.
Get it?
You’re those high-profile people. YOU.
And the black inner cities? They’re showcases for Globalists, who want to convince one and all that permanent economic and political dependence on higher authority is the only policy that counts.
People raising themselves up is out. Forget it.
End result?
Slavery.
The very thing you say you’re fighting against.
But through a clever twist, a long-term covert op, you’re fighting for it.
Wise up. Wake up.
Or keep fronting for elites and keep losing, no matter what the scoreboard says on Sunday.

What “moving thought forward” is, is about being a nucleus that attracts different components of thought so that when they actualize around you — it is different than it has ever been before!
“As I stand in my focused, human, leading-edge experience, and I choose this combination of thoughts and feelings, I am offering a signal that has never been offered before. And so, the Universe must uniquely yield to me, which causes me to offer a vibration that maybe someone somewhere else is matching. If they are, they will certainly come into my experience for the time that we are matching it.” That is the way you affect the world. Most think in terms of thought affecting the world: You think about transmitting outward: “I’m going to affect the world from my outgoing signal.” That isn’t the way it works. You affect the world by achieving the vibration that brings the signals to you. You create a nucleus that Universe has to respond around. That is how you are the creator.

Mandatory Nationwide Test of the Emergency Alert System 9/27/17
Mandatory Nationwide Test of the Emergency Alert System to be Conducted on September 27, 2017
Release date:
September 19, 2017
Release Number:
HQ-17-127
WASHINGTON – The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), in coordination with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), will conduct a mandatory nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System (EAS) on September 27, 2017 at 2:20 pm EDT. The test will assess the readiness for distribution of the national level test message, as well as verify its delivery.
The EAS test is made available to radio, television, cable, and direct broadcast satellite systems, and is scheduled to last approximately one minute. The test’s message will be similar to the regular monthly test message of the EAS with which the public is familiar, only inserting the word “national.” “This is a national test of the Emergency Alert System. This is only a test.”
Significant coordination and regional testing has been conducted with the broadcast community and emergency managers in preparation for this EAS national test. The test is intended to ensure public safety officials have the methods and systems that will deliver urgent alerts and warnings to the public in times of an emergency or disaster. Periodic testing of public alert and warning systems is also a way to assess the operational readiness of the infrastructure required for the distribution of a national message and determine whether technological improvements are needed.
Conducting the test following Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, Jose, and Maria will provide insight into the resiliency of our national-level alerting capabilities in impacted areas. The test will also provide valuable data into how the Integrated Public Alerts and Warning System (IPAWS) performs during and following a variety of conditions. With two major hurricanes already making landfall, and a potential for two more impacting our nation, we need to have the ability to maintain the continuity of critical infrastructure under various conditions.
Receiving preparedness tips and timely information about weather conditions or other emergency events can make all the difference in knowing when to take action to be safe. FEMA and our partners are working to ensure alerts and warnings are received quickly through several different technologies, no matter whether an individual is at home, at school, at work, or out in the community. The FEMA App, which can be downloaded on both Android and Apple devices, is one way to ensure receipt of both preparedness tips and weather alerts. The FEMA App can be downloaded at www.fema.gov/mobile-app.
The back-up date for the test is October 4, 2017, at 2:20 pm EDT, in case the September 27 test is cancelled. More information on the IPAWS and Wireless Emergency Alerts is available at www.ready.gov/alerts. You can also access a video, FEMA Accessible Emergency Alert System IPAWS Test Message, in American Sign Language.
This is the third mandatory nationwide test of the EAS. The first test was conducted in November 2011 in collaboration with the FCC, broadcasters, and emergency management officials. The second mandatory test was conducted in September 2016.
Once again it is time to take a lesson from Mother Nature, and in particular the TREES.
See yourself as a magnificent Tree, sending your roots down firmly into Mother Earth, feel the stability. Now bring that stability up through your whole body, then out through the Crown Chakra, aligning with the stability at the centre of the Galactic Core. Stability from above and below. Truly anchored. Again as that Tree, allow yourself the flexibility to bend and move, with whatever is flowing in and around you. You need to maintain equilibrium right now and grounding is ESSENTIAL. Your whole Be-ing will thank you with this one little exercise.
Nature can teach so much. It is time to fully re-member your connection to ALL of nature and the sensory clues provided. Talk to the trees, flowers, birds, insects – ALL have a message for you. It is truly time to “take the time” to listen with the senses you have for eons shut down, when you chose to become separate from the ALL.
Now you are re-membering your connection once again to the ‘ALL THAT IS.’
NO MORE SEPARATION
You and the tiniest of insects are ONE. Re-membering this will have a mighty impact on how you proceed from this moment forward.
When you fully embrace your ONENESS – One with ALL – magical shifts of perception will happen within and around you, affecting not only YOU, but the ALL.
Dear Ones, you are beginning to re-member so much of what was, and are now calling it back into your awareness and your moving around space.
Miraculous shifts and changes are happening all over Planet Earth, as you and the Mother make this magnificent transition into the New Mode of Be-ing.
Humanity is waking up and taking personal responsibility for what is happening and no longer relying on main-stream anything to tell them how their life need be.
With this personal responsibility comes great gifts – freedom, wisdom, choice, amongst others. Taking back your sovereignty – re-membering who you are and why you came allows greater opportunity to embrace the life of your dreams.
As Co-Creators you are once again trusting your ability to “Ask” or set your Intention and it shall be received.
So many innate abilities re-surfacing that you had in fact “hidden from yourselves.” Now as your consciousness is re-awakening and you are re-membering, great changes will flow forth onto the Planet.
Re-membering you are ALL ONE is the catalyst for no more wars/fighting. Also the Abundance will flow and be shared by ALL. New or re-membered techniques will allow for magnificent healing to be achieved by all Be-ing’s.
HOLD THIS INTENTION – Dear Ones
Because of YOU
++PEACE will reign on Earth for ALL
++ABUNDANCE will pour forth for ALL
++PERFECT HEALTH and WELL BEING will be manifested for ALL
Intention is everything Dear Ones – YOU are the Creators of this New Earth.
Hold these intentions, envision the Earth, where these are the greatest possibilities and more.
AND SO IT IS
Dear Ones, you have all strived for this reunification and realignment of the ALL. It is now time to reap the rewards of your efforts.
Hold each other hands and hearts – anchor these affirmation of PEACE, ABUNDANCE, PERFECT HEALTH into the Earth as you do your daily “Tree exercise” and watch as all
Be-ing’s flourish in the abundant, glorious LIGHT that now permeates the Earth.
Players are standing up with arms locked, they’re sitting, they’re kneeling, they’re staying in the locker room during the National Anthem, a few owners have come out of their high offices to join with the players on the field, the networks are suddenly airing the pre-game Anthem because TV viewers want to see the protests and it’s all about ratings and ad revenues; viewership for the games is down, one quarterback who stayed with his team in the locker room confessed he wanted to be out on the field and didn’t want to be known for protesting the Anthem, Trump praised fans in the stands for booing the players, it’s a party, a circus, it’s theater, so who’s winning?
According to counts and a survey, 70% of NFL players are black, and 83% of NFL fans are white.
One biracial player, Colin Kaepernick, started the whole business by kneeling during the National Anthem, to protest police brutality against black people.
Colin Kaepernick’s original message, whatever you may think of it, has exploded into pieces all over the landscape. Now people are talking about the flag, the Anthem, patriotism, the veterans, ungrateful millionaire athletes, “unity,” the League, the Commissioner, racism in general, and Trump as a slavemaster according to Jesse Jackson.
But don’t worry. We’re assured these football protests are part of engaging in a “national dialogue on race.”
How many times have we heard that one before?
What dialogue? The whole country is going to assemble in the geographical center of America and begin talking earnestly to one another?
Yes, Trump is “energizing his base,” as they say. But he’s also gleefully attacking the NFL team owners, some of whom were/are his pals. He likes that kind of theater. He’s sticking the owners with the nasty job of defending the players. If the owners remain silent and go away and hide, they’ll be seen as racists. That’s not a good look. So a few of them appeared on football fields Sunday, “standing in solidarity” with their teams. Now they can run away and hide.
“Jeeves, tell my pilot to gas up the jet. I’ve done my duty. We’re heading to the Cape. Let the staff know they’ll have to open up the summer house again…”
Trump also wants his enemies everywhere to understand he’s willing to attack anyone, even the rich owners of NFL franchises. Fallout, no fallout, he doesn’t care.
So today, a Pittsburgh Steeler offensive tackle few people have ever heard of, a decorated ex-Army Ranger, Alejandro Villanueva, is the most popular player in the League, because he didn’t stay in the locker room with the rest of his team during the playing of the National Anthem. He came outside and made himself visible on the field. Suddenly, his jersey has shot up to number one on the best seller list of NFL merchandise.
That 80% of white fans are buying it.
This is supposed to be part of the “national dialogue,” too?
(Update: Villanueva has now apologized for standing alone and “throwing his teammates under the bus.” What’s the policy on returning NFL merchandise?)
The strategic winner in this big NFL story, so far, is Trump. His America-first rhetoric is making a bigger impact than all the NFL protests.
Joe Scarborough, MSNBC: “This may be unpopular but it is a political reality. Every NFL player refusing to stand for the national anthem helps Trump politically.”
Oops.
Of course, the rest of the politically Left media echo chamber refuses to acknowledge that. The echo-chamber denizens always try to convince themselves they’re creating and owning and controlling the narrative.
“If we say the NFL player protestors are smacking Trump down, the American people will believe us.”
Yes, just as people believed the echo chamber when they elected Trump over Hillary “nothing is my fault” Clinton.
Of course, the echo chamber has to drown out a few voices. For example, a player many think is the greatest NFL athlete of all time, hall of famer Jim Brown: “I’m going to give you the real deal: I’m an American. I don’t desecrate my flag and my national anthem. I’m not gonna do anything against the flag and national anthem. I’m going to work within those situations. But this is my country, and I’ll work out the problems, but I’ll do it in an intelligent manner.”
Hmm. That doesn’t work for the preferred narrative, so put it on the back page.
Where is the wild NFL-Trump-media theater piece heading? It’s obvious, isn’t it? More supporters for Trump. More voters on his side.
And who wants that?
The Russians! Yes. Now we see the light. Vladimir Putin is behind all these NFL player protests because, as a chess player, he understands the end game: Trump wins.
Putin somehow manipulated Colin Kaepernick into staging his original kneel during the National Anthem. That’s the op.
Is WikiLeaks going to play a role? We don’t know yet. Stay tuned.
I’m sure James Comey will fit right in. He can return and testify before Congress:
“Well, we know Ivanka Trump met with Putin eighteen months ago. At the time, he expressed an interest in buying the Dallas Cowboys, with gold bars he found in a Venusian UFO that crashed in Siberia. But then the conversation turned to the possibility of triggering player protests, as a way of garnering support for Donald Trump…”
Putin is also behind Black Lives Matter, Antifa, incidents of violence, riots, cops being shot, because all that, too, will swing support over to Trump.
Note to John McCain: Get moving, John. Put together the Committee hearings on the Hill. We’ve got our man. Putin. We’ve got the tiger by the tail…
