Water

Please check out this site, and educate yourself about what is going on today in the World regarding water shortages, and wars over water.

Bolivia leads the way in fighting off corporations that are trying to take control of our most precious natural resource on the planet...water.

Read this book as soon as you can, and think twice before buying Evian, Naya, Dasani (Coca-Cola water), and Pepsi brand water.

Favorite Pyschic Scene In a Movie

The movie is "The Right Stuff." It is a movie about Chuck Yeager, the man who broke the sound barrier.

In the first half of the movie, this scene. Chuck had already broken the sound barrier, by reaching Mach 1.

But oh no! He got beat out by Scott Crossfield who reached Mach 2, and the press was all over it, like white on rice.

The news reporter wanted to turn this into a sensational competition, rivalry between Yeager and Crossfield, yet the brothers would have none of it.

Chuck gets up, goes to the bar to get a refill of beer in his glass.

As Chuck is standing there with his back toward Crossfield, the pilot tipped his beer bottle in a toast to Chuck. Without seeing him or looking at him, with his back still to him, Chuck raised his glass to Crossfield in return.

Indigo Children

Supposedly there is supposed to be this phenomenon involving more and more Indigo children coming to this earth. I don't remember where I first stumbled across this idea, that there are non-earthling souls entering the bodies of earthlings, who are supposed to come here to help the human beings ... to save them.

So I went to a website, and learned more about indigo children, and I thought wow! This website is describing me, other than the fact that I don't have blue eyes. But after reading it one can see that it applies to everyone.

Supposedly you have to have blue eyes to be an indigo.

Here are characteristics of an "Indigo Child" :
Characteristics

Carroll and Tober identify ten attributes that they believe describe Indigo children[1]:

1. They come into the world with a feeling of royalty (and often act like it).
2. They have a feeling of "deserving to be here," and are surprised when others do not share that.
3. Self-worth is not a big issue; they often tell the parents "who they are."
4. They have difficulty with absolute authority (authority without explanation or choice).
5. They simply will not do certain things; for example, waiting in line is difficult for them.
6. They get frustrated with systems that are ritually oriented and do not require creative thought.
7. They often see better ways of doing things, both at home and in school, which makes them seem like "system busters" (non-conforming to any system).
8. They seem antisocial unless they are with their own kind. If there are no others of like consciousness around them, they often turn inward, feeling like no other human understands them. School is often extremely difficult for them socially.
9. They will not respond to "guilt" discipline ("Wait till your father gets home and finds out what you did").
10. They are not shy in letting it be known what they need.

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


Other than not having blue eyes, most of what is described of an indigo child is me. I am somewhat psychic, sometimes I wish I wasn't. I have a fine-tuned memory of things that happened to me before I was born, things that happened to me when I was a small baby. I also am very rebellious, and have pursued a career in law to use to turn against the evil that is wreaking havoc on us, disturbing the balance that is struck. Ever since I was a child I knew the answers to things. Adults never listened to me, and it frustrated the hell out of me.

But does this make me an indigo child? I Doubt it. I am special, but I am not any more special than the next person.

We all have our unique gifts.

As for the psychic thing, it really started to hit when I started smoking pot. One day as a teenager, while working at the dry cleaners, while wearing these tight purple pants, I dropped something. My ass was facing the man customer. When I bent down to pick up the thing I dropped on the floor, I felt this vibration, like I was being penetrated, and I heard the man's voice in my head. I turned around and looked at this man, and he had this horny look on his face. I was somewhat offended, yet flattered at the same time.

One day I was at Ted's house. The first time I met Ted, we both just looked at each other, feeling this fuzzy feeling swarming around us. We both had a look of curiosity on our faces, and then at the same time we said to each other, "I know you from somewhere before." But we had never met. Yet at this point of meeting each other, we spent a lot of time together. We had sex, it was not fantastic, because I was not into him that way, so then He got angry with me. And started messing with my head, scaring me, freaking me out. Because his voice was inside my head and he was laughing while doing this to me. Then he held up the palm of his hand and said, "what do you see?" I saw the Rolling Stones logo, the Mouth.

I can't stand the Rolling Stones. I told him what I saw and he said yep. So then he started messing with my head even more, to the point I started having crazy dreams. So I knew that I could go to my theater professor about this. I had never talked to her about any of this stuff, and one day after class I said, "Professor, I need to talk to you about something that is not related to class, but it is an emergency that I am having." Concerned, she said, "okay, let us go to my office."

She took out a shell and lit some sage and cedar and stuff, and burned it at the threshold of her office. I said, "you are going to think that I am crazy, but I have been having a guy who is messing with my head, and I had a dream about you, and you were able to help me so this is why I am here." I went on about how he was getting into my head, I could hear his voice echoing in my head, and then I told her about him showing freaky things with the palm of his hand. Little holograms of images. She said, "oh that is known as the black mirror." Then she helped me find my center, and I quit hanging around Ted.

So anyway, that is one example of hundreds of what I perceive on an almost daily basis.

But back to the Indigo Children phenomenon. I don't really know a whole lot about it, but what I believe, is this is not a new phenomenon. These are not souls of extraterrestrial life force, any more than the others, if there are others and whatever they may be, occupying the bodies of human beings. These are people who have been around since the beginning of time. Should we be giving them this special label? I don't know.

I wonder what my Chickasaw spirit people would say? HOw can I know because they are not in their place in space.... instead they have been taken apart and put on display for people to see.

I do not see this as 100% disastrous, I see it is a bringing of an awareness, of just how it important it is that the ancestral ways be recognized, honored, respected. Not treated as blasphemy, heresy, or whatever the words may be to justify killing anyone who practices these ways.

Snake Dance may ye live on in the people!

(wish i could say something in Chickasaw here, but since I can't I will just say

~~ Shundahai ~~

And as for there being only a certain class of "indigo children" I say bullocks. This could be some people some time, some people all the time, all people part of the time, and all people all of the time.

It really is a choice one makes. The whole psychic thing. Ted wanted to see if I was game, but I was not in that way.

Instead like many people I have come across, my way is more of focusing in on the nuclear thing.

Which brings me to the "Sister China" dream that I had. In the dream I was risen up over the West and looking to the East, and there she was, from around the horizon, risen up from the East, beyond the waters.

She looked at me as ugly American greedy asshole sons of bitches, because I represented America. She represented China, and I remember conveying to her, "let us not look at each other as something just because of from where we come. You and me, we are sisters. Please do not be angry at me."

But it was too late, because behind her was a bright light of an A-bomb explosion, as it exploded, like slow motion, she turned and caught a glimpse of the mushroom cloud, and then turned around back at me.

Sister China's facial expression changed... from anger at me, to being angry at the bomb. Her expression changed to fear not of me, an American, but of the A-bomb.

The next day I was at the bar for a NASA meeting, when what's his face who worked at the Earthquake Research Center told me that China conducted a nuclear test while we were sleeping and that it measured 3.4 on the Richter Scale.

Oh China.

1872 Mining Stuff

Mining companies digging our pockets
Guest Opinion

by Ryan Alexander

Thursday, June 21, 2007


When lawmakers make legislative mistakes, it can take a long time to fix the error. That's the nature of a deliberative body. Wednesday was the "birthday" of one piece of legislation that has taken longer to fix than any other we know of - the General Mining Act of 1872 (more commonly referred to as the 1872 mining law).

The "granddaddy" of federal subsidies is alive and going strong, but rest assured we won't be throwing it a party or buying it presents. No, the only ones getting presents today are the gold, copper and other mineral companies that are the beneficiaries of 135 years of subsidies and giveaways.

The 1872 mining law robs taxpayers by allowing companies to "patent" - take title of - public lands for the rock bottom price of $5 an acre (that's a measly 31 cents per acre when adjusted for inflation!), a giveaway signed by Ulysses S. Grant as a way to help populate the western United States.

Once they have purchased this practically free land, mining companies are allowed to extract metals and minerals - an estimated $245 billion worth over the years - without paying a dime in royalties.

To be clear, we are not talking about subsidies going to the old '49ers who set up camp during California's gold rush back in the 19th Century. Today, minerals are mined by big companies making even bigger profits.

Every year, billions of dollars of gold, silver, and copper are taken from public lands, and Uncle Sam is literally giving the stuff away.

In 2006, Australian-based Rio Tinto reported profits of $7.9 billion and Canadian-based Barrick Gold Corporation sold over $4.4 billion worth of gold. It total, these two companies alone hold 39,322 claims covering 785,490 public acres in the United States.

Unlike other extractive industries, hard rock mining companies can dig for gold, silver and other precious metals and minerals on taxpayer-owned lands for free. Coal, oil, and natural gas companies must pay a royalty back to the U.S. Treasury that runs as high as 16 percent of the value of the resource they extract.

It only makes sense that these companies pay a royalty. Taxpayers should not give away free commodities that private companies will turn around and sell. And it shouldn't be any different for mining companies.

According to a recent analysis of government mining records, just 10 mining interests, five of which are foreign-owned corporations, own more than one-sixth of all claims.

These 10 companies hold 86,396 claims, representing 1,720,380 acres of public lands. In 1993, the largest of these companies, Barrick Gold Corporation, patented claims in Nevada for a mere $10,000. The estimated mineral value of those claims was $10 billion.

Adding insult to injury is that taxpayers foot the bill for billions of dollars in cleanup costs when mines are stripped bare and abandoned. One estimate puts the total cleanup cost at between $32 billion and $72 billion.

Reform of the 1872 mining law is more urgent than ever. Taxpayers have already given away many billions of dollars worth of metals and minerals, and new energy trends indicate the pace of the giveaway could accelerate without congressional action.

With the nuclear power industry pushing to increase their market share, companies looking to mine uranium have staked hundreds of new claims on public lands in the West hoping to cash in. Speculation in recent years has already caused uranium prices to double, and with gold and silver prices riding high, the pressure is like never before to exploit the bygone 1872 mining law for private gain.

As that mining law grows another year older, Rep. Nick Rahall (D-W.V.) is leading an effort to modernize it. You can be sure that the deep pockets of the mining industry will fight like crazy to keep the subsidies flowing, so it's going to take a lot of hard work to ensure that substantial reforms are enacted and taxpayers are protected. Let's just hope we don't have to wait another 135 years for reform.

GEORGE BUSH VISITS A NUKE PLANT

George Bush visits Browns Ferry in North Alabama today. I am not surprised that this is the way that George would want to spend the Summer Solstice.



This nuke plant is the same one that was the subject of a security breach last August 2006. The Department of Homeland Security wants answers from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) on just how this security breach happened. Unfortunately I haven't had time to fully research this issue, because I am struggling with learning the difference between comparative negligence, partial comparative negligence, specific intent crimes vs. general intent crimes, admissibility of evidence and whether it is past recollection recorded, or present sense impression recorded, and all aspects of judicial review... all of which comprises roughly 8% of the Bar Exam material that I will need to know to pass the Bar Exam so that I can better serve the anti-nuke fight.

This blog post is here to memorialize the fact that I need not forget about Browns Ferry and the security breach of August 2006 that was covered up until last month of 2007. To serve as a reminder that this is one of my first projects after taking the Bar Exam, on top of many other pressing issues. I have a cousin who works at this plant! Although a staunch Republican who is so lost from his indigenous roots that he doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground, thanks to the wonderful brainwashing techniques of Fundamentalist Bible thumping melded with the societal pressures of living in a small Southern town, it's okay, because cousin here has his back.

How DOES Energy Effect Us?

Seekers of light and those basking in it, talk Energy. Energy work, healing... the energy of color and sound.

Well there is a Dark Side to Energy too. And here is a story about it.

~~~ energy work ~~~

This is why i am opposed to digging up graves of the ancestors. specifically my american indian ancestors.

the other day my mom and i went to a museum in alabama, and found that they have human remains on display, in violation of NAGPRA.

what disturbed me even more was the fact that they had all the items of a medicine person, that the medicine person was buried with on display.

to many native peoples. this is a grave (pardon the pun) mistake.... to disturb the ancestors like this.

this medicine woman/man was buried with a big shell behind the right side of her head, a crystal at her left elbow, a clay water pitcher, and some other things at her knees and her hip bones.

all of this stuff should be put back with the bones of the ancestor.

Earth is a living organism, and is a part of the whole energy that makes up the cosmos. the ancient people had a far better understanding than what christianized, moslemized world society has today, of the workings of the energy, the universe and our place in it.

natives also believe that we come from Earth, that we are part of Earth... for what energy reasons?

to disturb the energy the way the archaeologists did, to me, might be one reason why things are screwed up.

yes, and i feel this way about Egyptology, and all other intelligent homo sapiens that have walked Earth and who have burial rites and reasons for being put to rest the way they were.

we should return all of these things to ther rightful place and with the right people with whom these objects were buried, and how. and we should have people knowledgeable of the rites and ceremonies -- or as close to it as possible, perform the repatriation ceremonies.

maybe then things might be better on this planet, energy-wise. maybe not 100% cured, but better.

where these people's graves were disturbed and violated by the ignorant archaeologist, now lays a nuclear power plant.

tell me, that isn't something?

Cherokee Nation v. Georgia -- Banana Commentary

The Supreme Court of the United States (hereafter called SCOTUS), held that the United States Supreme Court did not have jurisdiction to hear the matter of "The Cherokee Nation v. The State of Georgia," because the Cherokee Nation was neither a State nor was it a Foreign Nation.

Chief Justice John Marshall argued that the United States Supreme Court did not have jurisdiction to hear the case, because the Cherokee Nation is not a State, because there were Cherokee policies that were adverse to the United States' interests. Well that is a whole enchilada of an argument there, but even if the Cherokee Nation could is not a State, what would the Cherokee nation be? Wouldn't it be a foreign nation?

According to Chief Justice John Marshall, no. Justice Marshall reasoned that the Cherokee Nation is not a Foreign Nation, because they are not "foreign" to the United States. We could take the Scalia approach and break down the dictionary meaning of "foreign" to make it mean what we say it means in relation to the United States, but John Marshall did not even bother rationalizing his error, knowing clearly that he was in error in finding that SCOTUS did not have jurisdiction over the case.

But even if one lets Justice Marshall have his way, without reason, the meaning "foreign" as it refers to Indian Nations relations with the United States, the Supreme Court of the United States does indeed have jurisdiction to hear the case.

Article III, Section 8 of the United States Constitution: Congress has the Power to ‘regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian tribes.' This is a case where the Cherokee Nation was in dispute with the State of Georgia over "hunting lands." This is clearly within the scope of Congress' commerce powers. The State of Georgia did not have the Power to determine the hunting lands of the Cherokee Nation, for this land was under Cherokee control at the time of this dispute. And Congress, on the other hand, under Treaty, could work symbiotically with the Cherokee Nation, then its regulatory function in this case might not be unconstitutional itself.

So basically, this case is an example of how words can be manipulated to mean one thing when they really could mean something else, all depending on who is making the decision and whether he can do it without Prejudice, something John Marshall should have learned better in Law School.
