Coke / Security Camera Commercial I was sitting in a movie theater a short time ago, waiting to see The Great Gatsby, when I saw the strangest commercial I have ever seen.  It starts with the statement “On security cameras around the world…  We found…”.  The commercial then proceeds to show clips of people dancing, hugging, and kissing while displaying oxymoron’s such as “harmless soldiers”, “honest pickpockets”, and “attacks of friendship “.   There was no product brand name displayed until the end of the commercial. Through out the commercial I couldn’t help but ask myself if this was the most blatant Big Brother propaganda piece ever created.  It’s as if they are telling us that it is good that we are being watched 24/7, and that we should embrace the idea of having cameras watch our every move. It was not until the end of the commercial that the sponsor of the spot was revealed.  It was none other than Coke.  If there is any company that knows how to get a message across in less than 2 minutes it’s Coke.  From what I saw Coke was not even hinted at during the commercial.   The post Coke / Security Camera Commercial appeared first on The Vigilant Citizen. http://vigilantcitizen.com/vc-community/coke-security-camera-commercial/ Sent by gReader

Fifty-one UN Countries Vote to Keep Israel’s Nuclear Arsenal Hidden from Public View ‘With all of the 24/7 righteous indignation about weapons of mass destruction in Syria and call for ‘compliance with international norms’, the mainstream media barely mentioned this week’s UN vote on whether or not Israel should enter the international community by allowing nuclear weapons inspectors to see what its been hiding for decades now – a full-blown nuclear weapons program.’ Read more: Fifty-one UN Countries Vote to Keep Israel’s Nuclear Arsenal Hidden from Public View http://www.davidicke.com/headlines/fifty-one-un-countries-vote-to-keep-israels-nuclear-arsenal-hidden-from-public-view/ Sent by gReader

Climate scientists insist global warming hasn’t stopped, it’s just on a break as they prepare to release report designed to salvage their reputation ‘Global warming has not stopped – it’s just on a ‘hiatus’ and likely to return with ever more heatwaves, droughts, floods and rising sea levels – according to a draft report from leading scientists. The 127-page United Nations report, and a shorter summary for policymakers due for release in Stockholm on September 27, suggests a slowdown in Earth’s rising temperature can be explained by volcanic ash and a cyclical dip in energy emitted from the sun. While likely to attract opposition from sceptics – who say climate change is not man-made – the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is likely to stand by the bold claims as the body attempts to salvage its reputation following the publication of its last report in 2007. In that report, scientists erroneously claimed the Himalayas would melt by 2035.’ Read more: Climate scientists insist global warming hasn't stopped, it's just on a break as they prepare to release report designed to salvage their reputation Children will bear brunt of climate change impact, new study says ‘Children will bear the brunt of the impact of climate change because of their increased risk of health problems, malnutrition and migration, according to a new study published on Monday.

Nairobi – Post analysis of a bloody psy op ‘I am just going to say it like it is. First of all, the thing in Kenya was a Mossad operation staged by Americans and other foreigners working for the Mossad. Here is what logic says happened, based upon all the input I have received The false flag wag the dog psy ops that they are fronting in the news – using crisis actors for the Boston bombing, and the phony Navy Yard shooting, are not taking lives. And there is a good reason for this – it is because the zio front, the local Jewish communities know that with the alternative media scrutinizing everything, they can’t get away with murder the way they did at Columbine. People are actually paying attention now, and they cannot keep a lid on it.’ Read more … Kenya for the third time becomes the scene of yet another 'False Flag.' ‘Maybe you all have a very short memory so let me remind you of the two previous false flags that occurred in Kenya that was blamed on Al Qaeda which to this day remains a CIA inspired, programmed, funded and armed militia and certainly not some other Middle Eastern Islamic group. One can see yet again that this is all part of the US, UK and Israel master plan to keep the War on Terrorism alive and kicking……..here are the details of the other two attacks:’ Read more … If at first you don't succeed: 2002 – The Israeli Mossad, the CIA, and the Kenyan Intelligence Agencies Work Together to Determine Who Is Behind the Kenyan Bombing ‘Kenya has rejected Israeli demands to turn over some evidence in Thursday’s attacks on an Israeli-owned hotel and an Israeli jetliner, which killed 15 people, including 10 Kenyans. The U.S. and Israel has questioned Kenya’s ability to carry out a thorough investigation. The Israeli Mossad, the CIA, and the Kenyan intelligence agencies are working together to determine who is behind this bombing. U.S. officials said last week that the top suspect was the Somali-based group Al-Itihad al-Islamiya, known also as AIAI or the Islamic Union. But an article in today’s Christian Science Monitor raises questions if Al-Itihad was behind the attacks. “The facts don’t add up,” Theodoros Dagne, a specialist on African affairs at the Congressional Research Service in Washington told the Monitor. “The last time Al Ittihad carried out terror attacks was in 1996-97 in Ethiopia. They have never targeted Western powers, the US or its allies.” He adds that “Somalis don’t blow themselves up. This is a Middle East trademark. They shoot, they kill. But never a suicide bombing.” Furthermore, he adds, if the Somalis had such missiles in their possession–they would have used them over the years. “I don’t think it’s them.”‘ Read more … Kenyan Bloodbath: Reaping the 'Benefits' of US AFRICOM Collaboration ‘At face value, and how the Western media is attempting to portray it, the Westgate Mall siege in Kenya’s capital city of Nairobi appears to be yet another senseless terrorist attack by the “religious fanatics” of Al Qaeda’s Somalia franchise, Al Shabaab. Already, both Kenyan and Western politicians, as well as editorials across the Western media, are attempting to use the attack as a pretext to launch a military campaign against neighboring Somalia, while fueling anti-Muslim sentiment across profoundly ignorant audiences in the West.’ Read more … Kenya denies IMF access to secret mining agreements ‘An International Monetary Fund (IMF) team is pushing the government to make public details of a number of deals it has signed with oil exploration and mining firms.

I’d like to ask a question here Since false flag is the order of the day, could having the Mossad show up to “correct” this situation be ANY MORE PERFECT? How did they get permission to operate abroad out in the wide open public of a foreign country anyway? I have a little info here – Muslims don’t hate Christians. Muslims believe Jesus will return again to rule them, NOT MOHAMMED. Muslims protected Christian churches in the holy land for hundreds of years, even if the churches sat abandoned by Christians for centuries. One good example is the Aboud Church, which sat empty for a very long time and was taken care of by Muslims, with the Muslims holding the keys for centuries until Christians returned to use it.

The Hive Mind and The Invisible Thread ‘“We’re all connected.” It’s the ubiquitous mantra of new-agey types. Chances are if you’ve ever watched Oprah, were a fan of the TV show Lost, or have read just about anything I’ve written, you are very familiar with this concept. Along with its close cousin “everything happens for a reason,” it’s pretty much become a cliché that isn’t really given much thought. Yet, how exactly are we all connected? Sure, we’re all made of the same elements, live on the same planet, and are plugged into the same Internet, but the phrase usually refers to the idea that all of our minds are somehow connected, that our lives are intertwined, that actions taken by you, now, could somehow affect a struggling shoe salesman living in Uzbekistan. I think it’s about time we explored this concept and saved it from the nether regions of trite, hackneyed banality. After all, if the idea that “we’re all connected” is a given, why doesn’t anyone (with the possible exception of Oprah herself) really believe it?’ Read more: The Hive Mind and The Invisible Thread http://www.davidicke.com/headlines/the-hive-mind-and-the-invisible-thread/ Sent by gReader

Quantitative Easing Worked For The Weimar Republic For A Little While Too There is a reason why every fiat currency in the history of the world has eventually failed. At some point, those issuing fiat currencies always find themselves giving in to the temptation to wildly print more money. Sometimes, the motivation for doing this is good. When an economy is really struggling, those that have been entrusted with the management of that economy can easily fall for the lie that things would be better if people just had “more money”. Today, the Federal Reserve finds itself faced with a scenario that is very similar to what the Weimar Republic was facing nearly 100 years ago. Like the Weimar Republic, the U.S. economy is also struggling and like the Weimar Republic, the U.S. government is absolutely drowning in debt. Unfortunately, the Federal Reserve has decided to adopt the same solution that the Weimar Republic chose. The Federal Reserve is recklessly printing money out of thin air, and in the short-term some positive things have come out of it. But quantitative easing worked for the Weimar Republic for a little while too. At first, more money caused economic activity to increase and unemployment was low. But all of that money printing destroyed faith in German currency and in the German financial system and ultimately Germany experienced an economic meltdown that the world is still talking about today. This is the path thatthe Federal Reserve is taking America down, but most Americans have absolutely no idea what is happening.

Ignore No More! The Real Fukushima Danger [Much like the term "background radiation", this staggering reality lurks continually behind the scenes of the major media spotlight, but it cannot be ignored any longer. Please sit up and take notice and think about courses of action should a much great incident take place, never mind the already accumulating vast quantities of radiation especially in the northern hemisphere's atmosphere and the Pacific ocean. - Zen]WashingtonsBlogThe Real Problem …The fact that the Fukushima reactors have been leaking huge amounts of radioactive water ever since the 2011 earthquake is certainly newsworthy.  As are the facts that:Tepco doesn’t know how to stop the leaksScientists have no idea where the cores of the nuclear reactors areRadiation could hit Korea, China and the West Coast of North America fairly hardBut the real problem is that the idiots who caused this mess are probably about to cause a much bigger problem.Specifically, the greatest short-term threat to humanity is from the fuel pools at Fukushima.If one of the pools collapsed or caught fire, it could have severe adverse impacts not only on Japan … but the rest of the world, including the United States.   Indeed, a Senator called it a national security concern for the U.S.:The radiation caused by the failure of the spent fuel pools in the event of another earthquake could reach the West Coast within days. That absolutely makes the safe containment and protection of this spent fuel a security issue for the United States.Nuclear expert Arnie Gundersen and physician Helen Caldicott have both said that people should evacuate the Northern Hemisphere if one of the Fukushima fuel pools collapses. Gundersen said:Move south of the equator if that ever happened, I think that’s probably the lesson there.Former U.N. adviser Akio Matsumura calls removing the radioactive materials from the Fukushima fuel pools “an issue of human survival”.So the stakes in decommissioning the fuel pools are high, indeed.But in 2 months, Tepco – the knuckleheads who caused the accident – are going to start doing this very difficult operation on their own.The New York Times reports:Thousands of workers and a small fleet of cranes are preparing for one of the latest efforts to avoid a deepening environmental disaster that has China and other neighbors increasingly worried: removing spent fuel rods from the damaged No. 4 reactor building and storing them in a safer place.The Telegraph notes:Tom Snitch, a senior professor at the University of Maryland and with more than 30 years’ experience in nuclear issues, said  “[Japan officials] need to address the real problems, the spent fuel rods in Unit 4 and the leaking pressure vessels,” he said. “There has been too much work done wiping down walls and duct work in the reactors for any other reason then to do something….  This is a critical global issue and Japan must step up.”The Japan Times writes:In November, Tepco plans to begin the delicate operation of removing spent fuel from Reactor No. 4 [with] radiation equivalent to 14,000 times the amount released by the Hiroshima atomic bomb. …. It remains vulnerable to any further shocks, and is also at risk from ground liquefaction. Removing its spent fuel, which contains deadly plutonium, is an urgent task…. The consequences could be far more severe than any nuclear accident the world has ever seen. If a fuel rod is dropped, breaks or becomes entangled while being removed, possible worst case scenarios include a big explosion, a meltdown in the pool, or a large fire. Any of these situations could lead to massive releases of deadly radionuclides into the atmosphere, putting much of Japan — including Tokyo and Yokohama — and even neighboring countries at serious risk.CNBC points out:The radioactive leak at Japan’s Fukushima nuclear plant is far from under control and could get a lot worse, a nuclear energy expert, who compiles the annual “World Nuclear Industry Status Report” warned.***The big danger – and it was identified by Japan’s atomic energy commission – is if you lose water in one of the spent fuel pools and you get a spent fuel fire.CNN reports:[Mycle Schneider, nuclear consultant:]  The situation could still get a lot worse. A massive spent fuel fire would likely dwarf the current dimensions of the catastrophe and could exceed the radioactivity releases of Chernobyl dozens of times. First, the pool walls could leak beyond the capacity to deliver cooling water or a reactor building could collapse following one of the hundred  of aftershocks. Then, the fuel cladding could ignite spontaneously releasing its entire radioactive inventory.Reuters notes:The operator of Japan’s crippled Fukushima nuclear plant is preparing to remove 400 tons of highly irradiated spent fuel from a damaged reactor building, a dangerous operation that has never been attempted before on this scale.Containing by Text-Enhance" href="http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2013/08/if-a-doctor-killed-patients-doing-routine-surgery-and-then-tried-to-cover-it-up-would-you-let-him-do-brain-surgery-on-a-vip.html#">radiation equivalent to 14,000 times the amount released in the atomic bomb attack on Hiroshima 68 years ago, more than 1,300 used fuel rod assemblies packed tightly together need to be removed from a building that is vulnerable to collapse, should another large earthquake hit the area.Tokyo Electric by Text-Enhance" href="http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2013/08/if-a-doctor-killed-patients-doing-routine-surgery-and-then-tried-to-cover-it-up-would-you-let-him-do-brain-surgery-on-a-vip.html#">Power Co (Tepco) is already in a losing battle to stop radioactive water overflowing from another part of the facility, and experts question whether it will be able to pull off the removal of all the assemblies successfully.“They are going to have difficulty in removing a significant number of the rods,” said Arnie Gundersen, a veteran U.S. nuclear engineer and director of Fairewinds by Text-Enhance" href="http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2013/08/if-a-doctor-killed-patients-doing-routine-surgery-and-then-tried-to-cover-it-up-would-you-let-him-do-brain-surgery-on-a-vip.html#">Energy Education, who used to build fuel assemblies.The operation, beginning this November at the plant’s Reactor No. 4, is fraught with danger, including the possibility of a large release of radiation if a fuel assembly breaks, gets stuck or gets too close to an adjacent bundle, said Gundersen and other nuclear experts.That could lead to a worse disaster than the March 2011 nuclear crisis at the Fukushima plant, the world’s most serious since Chernobyl in 1986.No one knows how bad it can get, but independent consultants Mycle Schneider and Antony Froggatt said recently in their World Nuclear Industry Status Report 2013: “Full release from the Unit-4 spent fuel pool, without any containment or control, could cause by far the most serious radiological disaster to date.”IMPORTANT – DON’T MISS THE FULL ARTICLE HERE>>+++ZenGardner.com[Hat tip: Al - tx!] http://www.zengardner.com/ignore-no-more-the-real-fukushima-danger/ Sent by gReader

Into the Breach by Zen GardnerWhat happened recently in response to the Syrian gambit of the globalist elite is profound. Besides the geopolitical upheaval it caused and subsequent dizzying effects, even more intriguing is the ensuing rise of conscious connecting of issues it seems to have spawned. It’s as if a layer of the false holographic onion peeled off and exposed not just the next layer, but the more fundamental and profound realization that this phony thing we’ve been witnessing truly is an illusion and that has layers to be peeled.That’s called awakening.And it’s a big deal. Especially when it cuts into the support base of hypocritical, hypnotic puppets like America’s Obama and sycophantic cronies like the laughable robotic John Kerry and bumbling idiot John McCain types. Who’s kidding who for goodness’ sake.And the good thing? Everyone can see it. That’s a major statement in itself.Where Are We?In the grand scheme of things this is a very interesting time. I think the contriving controllers are regrouping. They knew we were waking up but this acceleration that’s manifesting has taken them, or some of them, by surprise. They have plans in place to cut our communication lifeline but until then they are being forced to scramble.It’s obvious and they are humiliated. But don’t let your guard down.Besides the ongoing engineered onslaught on our minds and health, these maniacs have many weapons they can unleash at any time. What’s remarkable is to note how they treat us with a certain amount of literal fear and respect. We outnumber them by vast proportions and they know it. Posturing is their game, a culmination of centuries of social engineering and mind control. If we get too smart they get draconian, as we see they are in the process of doing in the US and other western countries.But right now the awakening is blowing their minds. It’s accelerating at a rate they did not and could not anticipate. They are of another weaker dimension. We must remember that. While they operate well in the dullard-like long term control aspect, we can overwhelm them in the present.That’s our domain, the now in which we live.The Smell of FreedomWhen the oppressed smell freedom you’d better look out. That’s what’s happening here – a spiritual revolution. We will jump the wall given the opportunity, and it is now.Remember the historical lessons of famous battles. When a breach in the wall of a city or castle being attacked opened up, it was all in. That was the chance, the opportunity–everything they treasured, committed to, and decided to fight and die for lay before them to perform for their freedom. In that moment the golden opportunity presented itself.Passionate, reckless abandon overwhelmed their spirits. It was time to charge.We are there. We’ve always been there, but our troops have swelled and the signal is being heard. Enormously. And this is an extremely prescient time with all that is being exposed to a massive swathe of humanity, giving credence to the mounting undercurrent of alternative forces that have been affirming these realities for some time.We can now attack with more conviction than ever. It’s time to aggressively expose their phony corrupt politics and baseless warmongering; their ecological, medical and corporate fascism; the banking control, scientific fraudulence, media propaganda and on and on….more than ever.Take Action YourselfAct. Approach your skeptical relatives again. Talk to strangers. Participate in blogs and marches and campaigns. Write local papers and mainstream outlets. Make a mark. This is a real opening that we cannot ignore or bypass.Activate. Please.Serious media clampdown attempts are in the works. Time is of the essence. These freaks have been preparing and using anti-humanity devices for ages, from debilitating disinformation to chemical poisoning to killing our food and environment. They’re sick. And will resort to anything they can get their hands on to control, subdue and vampirize humanity.Our job is to respond accordingly. With resolve.Will you stand by and watch your children and/or grandchildren be poisoned to death? Do you want them altered genetically so that their offspring are some sort of transhuman modification for use by abusive global usurpers?If you don’t stand up, who will stand up for you? Or them?Take action.Love, ZenZenGardner.com http://www.zengardner.com/into-the-breach/ Sent by gReader

10 Ways to Shift Your Consciousness Paul Lenda, Guest Waking TimesIn moments of stress, anxiety and other intense harmful mind states that we experience within our lives, it can be difficult to keep our focus on positive personal development. The thought of becoming an enlightened sage radiating seemingly-perpetual positive energy can seem far off… an unattainable goal given life’s everyday problems. True as it may seem to be, this is a mental mechanism that blocks our ability to see things for what they are, namely that, “Your Self is already inherently liberated. It is the ideas that have been imposed on that Self which must be set free,” as Gangaji once mused.We’re going to take a look at 10 ways in which you can help shift your consciousness to a higher level of well-being. These tools, methods and mind states will help you become consciously evolved and on your way towards the expansion of your awareness.CompassionBy being compassionate, we embrace the sympathetic consciousness of others’ distress, together with a desire to alleviate it. By experiencing compassion, we also experience the awareness of the interdependence of all things. Compassion is an active choice to want for others the alleviation of their suffering. Compassionate action is a willingness to go beyond our own self-interests for the good of others. We let go of our own needs to attend to the needs of others so that we can meet our own deepest need: to feel connected to something…to feel a part of a larger shared humanity.Boundary DissolutionBy experiencing boundary dissolution, we experience a deconstruction and dissolving of boundaries that have been created by human cultures and societies and which have existed as long as the self-centered ego has influenced humanity. The purpose of boundary dissolution is to do away with these falsehoods that separate humanity instead of uniting it. When you dissolve the boundaries that divide and separate you from others, you will have the ability to transform your world into one of serenity, tranquility and peace. Oneness will not be just a philosophical concept but a reality that will be experienced by the totality of the human race.AppreciationWhen you appreciate someone, you are tuned into their positive qualities and express your empathy and gratitude for them. Appreciation results in positive vibration offered to all and further inspiration and expansion into a greater you. It’s a simple way to refresh ourselves, to open up heart-felt connections to ourselves and to others. Appreciation is both a fully-focused delight about whatever it is that feels good and a recognition of your own ability to intend and allow its manifestation.Appreciate a deep relaxing breath of air or maybe the pleasurable radiant warmth of the sun. The simple things you might take for granted are all worthy of appreciation. As you do this, try to focus completely on the good this experience or item offers you, and acknowledge that you and only you have created it, no matter how it came to you. No matter your condition or circumstances, there will always be something that you can find to appreciate. If it seems that your life is lacking in happiness, just look for a single thing each day and honor your part in manifesting it, then think of any and every aspect of that item or condition that is a positive force in your life.Inner PeaceHaving inner peace means that we are mentally and spiritually at peace, with enough knowledge and understanding to keep ourselves strong in the face of difficult and stressful life experiences. In some cultures inner peace is considered a state of consciousness that can be cultivated by taking up things like meditation, Tai Chi or yoga. Many spiritual practices refer to this kind of peace as being an experience of knowing your own self. The solution to finding inner peace requires us to look at the problem from a new perspective. We cannot change the nature of the world or its problems, but we can add a new dimension to life that will give us peace.We may not be able to eliminate all the problems of the world, but through meditation we can attain peace and happiness. We can make our family life more peaceful, loving and caring. We can help change the society in which we live. We can be a source of peace to all those around us. By leading a life in which we are caring and loving to others, we will develop into ideal human beings. By gaining inner peace, we can also achieve outer peace. Some people mistakenly think that the path of meditation is one of escapism. They feel that it requires you to sit in a cave or on a mountain top like a hermit. Meditation doesn’t lead to escapism, instead it makes us more alive.ForgivenessForgiveness is the moment-to-moment experience of peace and understanding that occurs when someone who feels injured has their suffering reduced, as they transform their grievance against the person or group that initiated the experience that led to that suffering. Forgiveness involves a sense of felt unity with one who has hurt us and can be regressive or progressive. By embracing the feeling of forgiveness as something that can help us, we accept it as an aspect of acceptance, love, peace, and truth, instead of experiencing hatred, emotionalism, negativity, falsehood…all of which are aspects of resentment.Forgiveness brings utter peace of mind. Resentment brings inner turmoil and suffering. Forgiveness means choosing to see the absolute perfection and beauty in everything. Everything and everyone is currently operating at its own level of awareness and/or evolution. Everyone and everything is what it is right now because that’s what it needs to learn or un-learn. People are what they are and make mistakes because they really don’t know otherwise or they don’t want to know otherwise. If they really knew otherwise, they would already be otherwise.MindfulnessMindfulness is a state of mind where you pay attention in a certain way. Mindfulness practice expands your field of awareness, allowing for improved oversight of somatic and effective experiencing, thanks to which you can experience an enhanced capacity for self-regulation of our arousal, affect and behavior. Mindfulness is incredibly helpful to us for several reasons. For starters, it reflects only what is presently happening and in exactly the way it is happening. There are no biases.Mindfulness is also the ability of the mind to observe without criticism. With this ability, you see things without condemnation or judgment. Nothing surprises you…you just take a balanced interest in things exactly as they are in their natural states. You don’t decide and you don’t judge…you just observe. Mindfulness registers experiences, but it does not compare them. It does not label them or categorize them. It just observes everything as if it were occurring for the first time. Mindfulness sees things as they really are. Once mindfulness becomes part of your everyday life, you develop the capacity to tolerate and accept painful experience, and you cultivate inner resources that help stabilize affect and reduce impulsiveness. For help with increasing your mindfulness, you should practice a meditation technique called vipassana, which was introduced around 2,500 years ago and has been specifically focused on experiencing a state of uninterrupted mindfulness.SelflessnessWhen we are selfless, we shift our focus onto the needs of others, rather than keeping it on ourselves. It is the practice of being unselfish and minimizing the gratification of the ego’s wants and desires. In order to make the life-redefining shift from selfishness to selflessness, go and focus on the well-being of others. This can be done in countless ways. You can clean up your life and surrender a fully healed body, heart, mind and soul to others when entering a relationship. You can also be ready to share any amount of time needed by others whenever they need. Be happy with your life and with whatever you are offered by others. Whenever you are sure to give your very best possible, you are receiving exactly whatever you need for your greatest possible spiritual benefit.NostalgiaNostalgia is a yearning for a return to some past period or seemingly-irrecoverable condition. It is the reliving of a past time, which is usually seen in a more positive light than the reality of that experience may have been. Studies have found that people who have a heightened level of nostalgia have higher self-esteem and are less prone to depression. Thinking of good memories for just 15 or 20 minutes a day can make you more cheerful than you were the week before, and happier than if you think of your current life. Nostalgia is a very potent mood booster, so if you seem to be in a bit of a funk, think about good memories of times past and you will experience higher self-esteem and feel more positively about friendships and close relationships.Post-MaterialismAs the Czech poet-president Vaclav Havel once said, “If the world is to change for the better, it must have a change in human consciousness.” Albert Einstein mused in a similar vein when he said that doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is the very definition of insanity. The world’s problems are grand and are many. The only way these problems can be solved is by a fundamental and profound shift in human consciousness. Making the shift to post-materialism requires us to take a few steps first.We need to face the implications of population and consumption growth for pollution, climate change and environmental destruction. We need to realize that materialist values make for less happy lives. We need to identify and promote things in life that matter more than economic growth. We need to understand and experience the nature of the oneness and interconnectedness of all things and people.WonderWonder is the experience of those who reach a sense or state of so-called perfection in the ordering of the world. Experiences of wonder can lead us to a sense of transcendence and realization of higher states of being. From a mystical perspective, wonder relates to affirmation as wonder openings reveal the infinite and the source of all that is, which operate as gateways to uniting experiences. Energetically, wonder is an expression of Eros, a life force that propels one into the present moment and into life and that magnifies attentional capacities.Buddhism muses that distinctions limited to relative or empirical reality are artificial and result in perpetuating the anguish, the pain and the frustration that some speak of because we become alienated from experience. Religious practice and customs propagate and create alterations in perception. Ultimately, through such alterations, we are able to experience the transparency of relative existence and of subject-object separations that exist in reality. In other words, wonder leads us tasting a unified and infinite existence.About the AuthorPaul Lenda is a conscious evolution guide, author of The Creation of a Consciousness Shift, and co-founder of SHIFT>, a social community focused on anchoring in the new paradigm and assisting the positive transformation of humanity.

Occult Symbology in Applause by Lady Gaga Gaga’ comeback after her Reprogramming, er, I mean broken hip, with the first single off the forthcoming ArtPop. Picking up where she left off with her ongoing reveal about the nature and price of Fame – she’s back to the dark murky realm of the Occult Elite of course. And the same slew of symbols are imaginatively regurgitated every Gags’ video. This carousel of theatre is for sure art directed by Inez and Vinoodh (who sound like they could be a pair of kinky Hindu gods) but directed ? No. Gags and her Masters at Universal, it is clear to those with eyes to see, are firmly the ones really directing this show. There’s an blitz of occult symbols here and blatant mind control references. Again. It’s not like all her other videos haven’t offered the same up, Born This Way, Marry the Night, You and I, Telephone etc, the videos all contain loads of mind control references. The lyric ‘Live for the applause’ is the perfect cynical anthem for the vapid celebrity saturated pop culture lapped up by the mass market.  Indeed the could video stand as a stylistically sarcastic taunt at the ‘sheeple’ for lapping up the lamestream slop served to them. “For one’s eye only…that’s all I’ve got to give..”   FAME in all Its Guises The Core Personality: The mad dishevelled brunette locked in an asylum type setting with only a mattress for company represents Gags the core personality from which all the other ‘alters’ to come are spun out from by her handlers through trauma, abuse and electroshock. She certainly looks like she has been through the wringer. Entertainment slaves like Marilyn are often naturally brunette before they are transformed to externally embody their blonde Venus/sex kitten personas. ‘The ultimate alter ego of the artist’ is represented by the mythic Commedia Del Arte ‘sad clown’- the Peirrot ‘face’ of Applause. Gags’ own version is particularly deranged of course, and recalls infamous clown faces of the tragic Anna Nicole Smith and Heath Ledger’s The Joker. It’s hommage on one hand to pantomime and Liza Minelli but it’s also a nod to psychotic drugs being administered and the creation of multiple personalities!   The most blatant mind control saga in this video is the deranged Marilyn Monroe in the birdcage. Ok so people in birdcages is shorthand for the personality contained. in a cage. not free…So Gag’s Marilyn has just had a particularly heavy electroshock session by the looks of it.   (Before Britney and Anna Nicole, Marilyn was the original system produced mind controlled entertainment slave, the beta sex kitten prototype, and now every Hollywood starlet must hommage to her in Mario Testino shoot at some point…)     Just an Illusion: The allusion to Magic is two-fold in Applause. Magic tricks are just tricks, so when Gags comes out of a hat, we get what she’s saying. Fame is all an illusion! You are being hood winked. Fact: Top Hats are also a symbol of elite society.     The other kind of Magic really on show here in the video and it’s spelt with a K on the end as in Magick and the is kind Aleister Crowley was into. And thus the classic symbols of Satanism are foistered upon us in the usual music video way: mainly the head of Baphomet: Through out the video there are very many frequent very quick flashes of Gags backlit as a dark angel figure. THIS arguably has the cumulative  subliminal effect of seeing the shape of Baphomet’s head every few seconds. Baphomet is a very ancient symbol possibly hardwired into some deep level of our consciousness, like the Cross. Anyway, It is all well and good and appropriate because Gag’s dark angel is probably Lucifer and by the looks of it she’s getting bit of an orgy-ritual together…   Black Swan hybrid/Golden Goose/Siren What he have here is an imaginative hybrid of archetypes Emerging from a hair covered Egg (a recurring Gaga motif), symbolizing the course of Nature perverted, Gags is the Satanic music industry’s golden goose, so far, every egg/hit she lays has the Midas Touch.   She’s also reminiscent of a Siren, the half bird half human Underworld creature from Greek mythology that lured sailors to their doom upon the rocks with their beautiful song. There’s a nod towards ‘Black Swan’ here, perhaps alludes to the dark ‘cracked’ personality theme that runs through the Natalie Portman film. The fact this genetic hybrid breathes fire conjures also the ancient alchemy of dragons and the creation of a new myth, a new God – part Siren, part dragon, part human. The whole video builds to a crescendo wave as is the wont of a ritual, to when a sacrifice is offered. In this case it’s Perez Hilton’s leg (Gags currently has a stunt fight going on with the gossip queen)Gags is perhaps the Virgin archetype here, with a gory twist, she’s holding what looks like a severed leg, complete with flesh dingles, but only seconds earlier was an Olympic kind of torch, with feminine, virginal roses coming out of it.   The Ritual Climax approaches by 3.15secs including a glitter bomb and Gags giving an electroshock/Demon possession re-enactment  for her zombie dancers (Electro Shock Therapy can be used alongside trauma to split the mind into multiple personalities) In the choreographed ‘popstar at work’ sequence the aggressive cold sexuality really grabs you…well, her, actually, the hands that are grabbing Gags as part of her SO CONCEPTUAL OUTFIT, remind us oh so subtly of hidden ‘handlers’, literally very ‘hands on’ all over their no1 music industry slave. The literal ‘choker’ is a nice touch. One imagine it tightens if she forgets a dance step…or doesn’t cover one eye enough…cue evil laugh.perhaps Simon Cowell’s. So yeah some shadowy hands can switch her personality at whim, like a switch…. cos the next SECOND those hands are now conjuring Gags as VENUS out of a cauldron.   YES, Venus, the Roman goddess of Love and Femininity and her Egyptian predecessor Isis is a central mystery school figure  recently stamped very discreetly all over Rihanna’s midriff. We know this is Venus due to her strategically placed SHELLS.   POST ORGASM/SACRIFICE After the electro shock frenzy (Gag’s psychotic orgasm you could say) and the leg/Olympic torch sacrifice /offering, there’s right at the end some frantic and very-cool-for-the-little monsters-type-hand-movements, spelling out very quickly ARTPOP and the last frame is this (if Gags was already the Empress of the One Eyed Salute now she is the Grand Tzaress. There’s more ‘One eyes’ than you can shake a masonic compass at in the vid.   IN conclusion Between plenty of One Eye action, the Baphomet head and an electro shocked, caged Marilyn, it’s clear that FAMA according to Gaga and her industry mentors is pretty dark sided. Also it’s clear that STILL nothing in pop culture is cooler than mind control and occult symbols. So cool. like who cares what they mean! Like you don’t really think any of that shit means anything do you?   Significance of the Length of Applause the song @ 3.33secs 1. Three (3) is the first sacred number, and represents the Pagan Trinity. It is represented geometrically in the triangle, and spiritually as the Third Eye Of Hinduism. Occultists will multiply and add three to other sacred numbers to create new numbers. However, they also group threes in two’s and threes, because they believe in the principle of “intensification”, i.e., that greater power is achieved when a sacred number is grouped. In the case of three, greater intensification is achieved when it is shown as 33, or 333. 333 + 333 equals 666. Occultists have used 333 as the hidden symbol by which they present the more offensive number 666. When the details of an event are so arranged as to contain certain sacred occult numbers or numeric combinations, this is literally an occult signature on the event. Mathematically, 666 can be created when three pairs of threes are added. Thus, (3+3) + (3+3) + (3+3) = 666. Now, eliminate the parentheses and the plus sign, and you have 33 space, 33 space, 33, representing the number 666.

Global Leadership – It’s Broke and it Needs Fixing After reading many well expressed and passionately motivated article about the problems with our world, and the leaders that guide it, an analogy I once heard of a sick and dying tree always comes to mind. The people in the village where the tree was located loved this tree, it was a holy tree to them, and they could not understand why it was sick, or why the leaves on some branches were starting to turn yellow and fall to the ground. As the villagers knew very little about trees, they worked with what they could see and they diagnosed the tree’s problem as coming from the yellow turning leaves. So following this reasoning they started to treat the sick leaves and the breaches they were connected to, in hope of stopping the spreading of the disease, and this practice of treating the leaves went on until nearly all the leaves had fallen off the tree. Fortunately an old wise traveler was passing through the village that knew something about trees and assessed that the problem was not coming from the individual leave and branches but from the root of the tree, which he proceeded to treat. In a short period the tree recovered and the villagers were wiser for the experience. Sometimes when I hear or read well educated and articulate people commenting on the problems of the world I can’t help but think that their approach to understanding global issues seem very much like the villagers diagnosing the tree’s problem, looking at the individual leaves for the cause. For example, war was the subject of the article that inspired these comments, and to talk about individual wars or individual war mongers will have you going round in circles and not really looking at the root cause of the problem. One of the more powerful commentaries on war in our society, which presents a convincing argument on how war is used by our world leaders, comes from one of the most controversial book of the last millennium, The Report from Iron Mountain, where it’s stated “Although war is “used” as an instrument of national and social policy, the fact that a society is organized for any degree of readiness for war supersedes its political and economic structure. War itself is the basic social system, within which other secondary modes of social organization conflict or conspire. It is the system which has governed most human societies of record, as it is today. Once this is correctly understood, the true magnitude of the problems entailed in a transition to peace—itself a social system, but without precedent except in a few simple pre-industrial societies—becomes apparent”. The report goes onto say; “It must be emphasized that the precedence of a society’s war-making potential over its other characteristics is not the result of the “threat” presumed to exist at any one time from other societies. This is the reverse of the basic situation; “threat” against the “national interest” are usually created or accelerated to meet the changing needs of the war system. Only in comparatively recent times has it been considered politically expedient to euphemize war budgets as “defense” requirements. The necessity for governments to dis- tinguish between “aggression” (bad) and “defense” (good) has been a by-product of rising literacy and rapid communication. The distinction is tactical only, a concession to the growing inadequacy of ancient war-organizing political rationales”. Regardless of the controversy surrounding the report’s authenticity, I believe the document has accomplished what the wise old traveler had archived in our analogy, diagnosed the root cause of the problem. We can hear the stories and lies presented to us on a daily bases through corporate media about how our governments are working towards peace, or how our “Defense Forces” are attacking impoverished countries with no history of aggression towards us under the pretense of preserving our freedom. As supported in the above quoted report, this media smoke screen covers up the most sinister, and most obvious fact of our time; the global war system dominates our social and economic systems, not the other way around, and that none of our world leaders with any weight to their status, are trying to change this situation. Leadership establishes the culture of an organisation or enterprise, and as I had encountered when I was a consultant for companies helping them implement risk management systems into their general management structure, I had found that if the most senior person at the top of a company had a big appetite for risk and a low regard for safety, that is the culture that would prevail throughout all levels of the organisation, and is that any different to what happens within government structures? As the Report from Iron Mountain highlights; to move from a war system to a peace system would not be easy, if at all possible, and it would require leadership decisions devoid of self and/or national interests. If we accept the concept that we live in a world dictated by the system of war, and that leadership decisions made on a daily bases have their foundations in securing dominance within this system, then what we see and hear on a daily bases with regards to the war machine makes perfect sense. If this situation is to change we need to stop focusing on the symptoms of this global military disease and go to the root of the problem, LEADERSHIP. However, to change from a war culture to a peace culture would require a radical shift in the attitude from our present global oligarchy and the economic powers that support, and often dictate global activities to our elected leaders. The only other alternative in securing support from our global commanders for a shift away from a dominant war system to a peace system would be major leadership change, which at this stage seems highly unlikely. If our current leaders use the constant pretense of a threat to our nation’s boarders for staging war, we really need to start questioning this concept we have towards ‘Defense’ and ‘Boarders’, and have a good look at what boarders truly represent. Putting it simply; boarders represent the enclosure of land, and ownership/control over anything inside these enclosures. Inside these boarders we have a lot of other smaller enclosures that are surrounded with fences and other boundary markers. The British monarchy has a long history of Enclosure dating back to the early 11th century, and is also the policy they enforced in most countries they colonized. We are constantly brainwashed by our trusted leaders with the illusions of freedom. This illusion is fed to us every day by through the education system and corporate media, and we lap it up, knowing full well that the managers of these enclosures, our governments, can take our freedom and possessions away from us anytime they want. Their ability to exercise these executive powers is increased tenfold during times of boarder disputes and conflicts. If you look at Google Earth and look down on a country like the USA, and then zoom in past the country’s boarders, and past the state boarders, the county and city boarders, right down to the suburban white picket fence….. Now remove the illusion of freedom, ownership, human rights, freedom of speech from the picture and it starts to look very much like any other cattle or a sheep farm, where the human cattle, the sheeple occupants are being fed and fattened on an unnatural diet of lies and proper gander. The question should not be why we are fighting wars to protect our boarders, and this illusion of freedom, but why we have these boarders at all, and why do the majority of our world’s most powerful political and economic leaders wish to maintain these boundaries, military institutions, and these human farms they call countries.
