Zen G - Bank Holiday Drill? – Major Computer Malfunctions At Three Dutch Too Big To Fails

Saturday, April 6th, 2013.

This week three banks, ING, Rabo and SNS, simultaneously suffered major computer malfunctions, leading to a temporary closure of their on-line facilities. Their problems were ‘unrelated’. It is completely unprecedented. The chances of a coincidence are close to zero. For years some in the blogosphere have speculated that ‘computer problems’ might be a good excuse for the Money Power to call a bank holiday and ‘reorganize’ their system. This looks like a drill.

By Anthony Migchels
Real Currencies

ING’s problems were the worst, it’s off-line again today. ING is one of the biggest banks in Europe with a trillion plus balance and one of the living dead. It’s a zombie bank, propped up with massive credit lines from the ECB and handouts and guarantees from the Dutch taxpayer. It has 40 billion of Spanish debt on its books and it needs to write off untold billions, maybe as much as hundreds of billions, from its commercial real estate portfolio. Obviously this would vaporize the Dutch economy over night, should it have to bail out ING.

The Dutch economy is one of the worst in the world in terms of debt. All the nonsense about ‘lazy Greeks’ and ‘thrifty and frugal Dutch’ is just that: complete baloney. We have a usurious debt based monetary system. However hard one works, eternally growing debt and interest charges are inevitable, it has nothing to do with character.

Meanwhile, the economy is being destroyed with ridiculous austerity, 45 billion was taken out of the budget over the last two years. The Government loses 80 cents in income due to falling aggregate demand in the economy for every euro it takes out of the economy through taxation or austerity. Same thing that destroyed Southern Europe. It’s incredible that this kind of insanity can happen in the modern age.

Considering the situation in Cyprus and depositors now knowing they are fair game, it seems clear that the Money Power is organizing a bank run to further the depression it wants so badly.

However unpleasant it is to be on the same side as these vultures in this case, the advice remains the same: get your money out of the bank now. The advice is now not just correct because of moral imperative, it is becoming a matter of personal financial survival. True, it is becoming harder and harder to find safe havens, but the bank is absolutely not one of those, that’s for sure.

Why is the Money Power busting its own banks? They don’t really care: all the major banks own each other. 100% market share remains guaranteed, even if some of them drop. Also, the smaller banks go first and they are gobbled up by the big boys, often with ECB/Fed/taxpayer financial support. So this crunch is also a major consolidation effort by the Money Power. Busting the banks is a good way to plausibly sell the many that the good days are over.

So what does this computer malfunction mean? It’s an exercise. And probably not for Holland itself. The Dutch economy is midsized and a good place for a drill for something bigger. Like the US, which is the real target here. Two weeks ago, Chase Manhattan had some problems too: accounts were suddenly drained and set to zero. Interestingly, this was also going on with ING.

The US has been coasting relatively unscathed through the crunch up to now. Because the Fed printed like crazy, all in all some 16 trillion were lent out to its buddy insider banks worldwide to prop up their balances. This money never enters the real economy, because it used as capital to replace losses to the Mortgage Backed Securities scam that popped in 2008. Hence no inflation.

But this is coming to an end and in the next round of the crunch something major is going to go down.

Conclusion
We have the funniest stockmarket boom ever, bankers resigning all over the place, Cyprus, and now this.

Something’s on. And it’s big.

You know, maybe we can get some more slips like this one....Maybe this is why Obama can't remember the childrens names.. I wonder how much she gets paid for this fiasco ??? Check it out: video on this page also.

Michelle Obama calls herself a 'single mother,' corrects self

By Emily Goodin - 04/04/13 09:30 PM ET

Michelle Obama referred to herself as a "busy, single mother" in a TV interview on Thursday before quickly correcting herself.

The first lady made the remark in an interview with WCAX, the CBS affiliate in Burlington, Vt., while discussing her healthy eating program, Let's Move!, but clarified immediately.

"I shouldn't say single — as a busy mother — sometimes when you've got the husband who's president, it can feel a little single but he's here," she said.
“But as a busy, working mom, and before coming to the White House, I was in that position, you know, as well — working, driving kids to practice, not having enough time to shop or cook, not having the energy,” she added. "Resources weren't the issue but time and energy is key."
Obama conducted the interview at the White House on Thursday as part of the annual garden planting ceremony. Students from a school in Burlington took part in the event.

How the Government Killed Martin Luther King, Jr.

Thursday, April 4th, 2013

Shot down by the Memphis PD’s top sharpshooter – with backup by US Army snipers on a nearby rooftop

By Carl Gibson – Reader Supported News

Before scoffing at this headline, you should know that in 1999, in Memphis, Tennessee, more than three decades after MLK’s death, a jury found local, state, and federal government agencies guilty of conspiring to assassinate the Nobel Peace Prize winner and civil rights leader.
The same media you would expect to cover such a monumental decision was absent at the trial, because those news organizations were part of that conspiracy. William F. Pepper, who was James Earl Ray’s first attorney, called over 70 witnesses to the stand to testify on every aspect of the assassination. The panel, which consisted of an even mix of both black and white jurors, took only an hour of deliberation to find Loyd Jowers and other defendants guilty. If you’re skeptical of any factual claims made here, click here for a full transcript, broken into individual sections. Read the testimonies yourself if you don’t want to take my word for it.

http://youtu.be/0lg1EBXYjvE

It really isn’t that radical a thing to expect this government to kill someone who threatened their authority and had the power to organize millions to protest it. When MLK was killed on April 4, 1968, he was speaking to sanitation workers in Memphis, who were organizing to fight poverty wages and ruthless working conditions. He was an outspoken critic of the government’s war in Vietnam, and his power to organize threatened the moneyed corporate interests who were profiting from the war. At the time of his death, he was gearing up for the Poor People’s Campaign, an effort to get people to camp out on the National Mall to demand anti-poverty legislation – essentially the first inception of the Occupy Wall Street movement. The government perceived him as a threat, and had him killed. James Earl Ray was the designated fall guy, and a complicit media, taking its cues from a government in fear of MLK, helped sell the “official” story of the assassination. Here’s how they did it.
The Setup
The defendant in the 1999 civil trial, Loyd Jowers, had been a Memphis PD officer in the 1940s. He owned a restaurant called Jim’s Grill, a staging ground to orchestrate MLK’s assassination underneath the rooming house where the corporate media alleges James Earl Ray shot Dr. King. During the trial, William Pepper, the plaintiff’s attorney, played a tape of an incriminating 1998 conversation between Jowers, UN Ambassador Andrew Young, and Dexter King, MLK’s son. Young testified that Jowers told them he “wanted to get right with God before he died, wanted to confess it and be free of it.”
On the tape, Jowers mentions that those present at the meetings included MPD officer Marrell McCollough, Earl Clark, an MPD lieutenant and known as the department’s best marksman, another MPD officer, and two men who were unknown to Jowers but whom he assumed to be representatives of federal agencies. While Dr. King was in Memphis, he was under open or eye-to-eye federal surveillance by the 111th Military Intelligence Group based at Fort McPherson in Atlanta, Georgia. Memphis PD intelligence officer Eli Arkin even admitted to having the group in his own office. During his last visit to Memphis in late March of 1968, MLK was under covert surveillance, meaning his room at the Rivermont was bugged and wired. Even if he went out to the balcony to speak, his words were recorded via relay. William Pepper alleges in his closing argument during King v. Jowers that such covert surveillance was usually done by the Army Security Agency, implying the involvement of at least two federal agencies.
Jowers also gave an interview to Sam Donaldson on “Prime Time Live” in 1993. The transcript of the interview was read during the trial, and it was revealed that Jowers openly talked about being asked by produce warehouse owner Frank Liberto to help with MLK’s murder. Liberto had mafia connections, and sent a courier with $100,000 to Jowers, who owned a local restaurant, with instructions to hold the money at his restaurant.
John McFerren owned a store in Memphis and was making a pickup at Liberto’s warehouse at 5:15 p.m. on April 4th, roughly 45 minutes before the assassination. McFerren testified that he overheard Liberto tell someone over the phone, “Shoot the son of a bitch on the balcony.” Other witnesses who testified included café owner Lavada Addison, who was friends with Liberto in the 1970s. She recalled him confiding to her that he “had Martin Luther King killed.” Addison’s son, Nathan Whitlock, also testified. He asked Liberto if he killed MLK, and he responded, “I didn’t kill the nigger but I had it done.” When Whitlock pressed him about James Earl Ray, Liberto replied, “He wasn’t nothing but a troublemaker from Missouri. He was a front man … a setup man.”
The back door of Loyd Jowers’ establishment led to a thick crop of bushes across the street from the Lorraine Motel balcony where Dr. King was shot. On the taped confession to Andrew Young and Dexter King, Jowers says after he heard the shot, Lt. Earl Clark, who is now deceased, laid a smoking rifle at the rear of his restaurant. Jowers then disassembled the rifle, wrapped it in a tablecloth and prepared it for disposal.
The corporate media says it was James Earl Ray who shot MLK, and he did it from the 2nd floor bathroom window of the rooming house across the street from the Lorraine Motel. The official account alleges the murder weapon was dropped in a bundle and abandoned at Dan Canipe’s storefront just before he made his getaway. But even those authorities and media admit that the bullet that tore through MLK’s throat didn’t have the same metallurgical composition as the bullets in the rifle left behind by James Earl Ray. And Judge Joe Brown, a weapons expert called to testify by Pepper in the 1999 trial, said the rifle allegedly used by James Earl Ray had a scope that was never sighted in, meaning that the weapon in question would have fired far to the left and far below the target.
The actual murder weapon was disposed of by taxi driver James McCraw, a friend of Jowers. William Hamblin testified in King v. Jowers that McCraw told him this story over a 15-year period whenever he got drunk. McCraw repeatedly told Hamblin that he threw the rifle over the Memphis-Arkansas bridge, meaning that the rifle is at the bottom of the Mississippi river to this day. And according to Hamblin’s testimony, Canipe said he saw the bundle dropped in front of his store before the actual shooting occurred.
The Conspiracy
To make Dr. King vulnerable, plans had to be made to remove him from his security detail and anyone sympathetic who could be a witness or interfere with the killing. Two black firefighters, Floyd Newsum and Norvell Wallace, who were working at Fire Station #2 across the street from the Lorraine Motel, were each transferred to different fire stations. Newsum was a civil rights activist and witnessed MLK’s last speech to the striking Memphis sanitation workers, “I Have Seen the Mountaintop,” before getting the call about his transfer. Newsum testified that he wasn’t needed at his new assignment, and that his transfer meant that Fire Station #2 would be out of commission unless someone else was sent there in his stead. Newsum talked about having to make a series of inquiries before finally learning that his reassignment had been ordered by the Memphis Police Department. Wallace testified that to that very day, while the official explanation was a vague death threat, he hadn’t once received a satisfactory answer as to why he was suddenly reassigned.
Ed Redditt, a black MPD detective who was assigned to MLK’s security detail, was also removed from the scene an hour before the shooting and sent home, and the only reason given was a vague death threat. Jerry Williams, another black MPD detective, was usually tasked with assembling a security team of black police officers for Dr. King. But he testified that on the night of the assassination, he wasn’t assigned to form that team.
There was a Black Panther-inspired group called The Invaders, who were staying at the Lorraine Motel to help MLK organize a planned march with the striking garbage workers. The Invaders were ordered to leave the motel after getting into an argument with members of MLK’s entourage. The origins of the argument are unclear, though several sources affirm that The Invaders had been infiltrated by Marrell McCollough of the MPD, who later went on to work for the CIA. And finally, the Tact 10 police escort of several MPD cars that accompanied Dr. King’s security detail were pulled back the day before the shooting by Inspector Evans. With all possible obstacles out of the way, MLK was all alone just before the assassination.
The Cover-Up
Around 7 a.m. on April 5, the morning after the shooting, MPD Inspector Sam Evans called Public Works Administrator Maynard Stiles and told him to have a crew destroy the crop of bushes adjacent to the rooming house above Loyd Jowers’ restaurant. This is particularly odd coming from a policeman, since the bushes were in a crime scene area, and crime scene areas are normally roped off, not to be disturbed. The official narrative of a sniper in the bathroom at the rooming house was then reinforced, since a sniper firing from an empty clearing would be far more visible than one hidden behind a thick crop of bushes.
Normally, when a major political figure is murdered, all possible witnesses are questioned and asked to make statements. But Memphis PD neglected to conduct even a basic house-to-house investigation. Olivia Catling, a resident of nearby Mulberry Street just a block away from the shooting, testified that she saw a man leave an alley next to the rooming house across from the Lorraine, climb into a Green 1965 Chevrolet, and speed away, burning rubber right in front of several police cars without any interference. There was also no questioning of Captain Weiden, a Memphis firefighter at the fire station closest to the Lorraine, the same one from which Floyd Newsum had been transferred just a day before.
Memphis PD and the FBI also suppressed the statements of Ray Hendricks and William Reed, who said they saw James Earl Ray’s white mustang parked in front of Jowers’ restaurant, before seeing it again driving away as they crossed another street. Ray’s alibi was that he had driven away from the scene to fix a tire, and these two statements that affirmed his alibi were withheld from Ray’s guilty plea jury.
The jury present at Ray’s guilty plea hearing also wasn’t informed about the bullet that killed MLK having different striations and markings than the other bullets kept as evidence, nor that the bullet couldn’t be positively matched as coming from the alleged murder weapon. Three days after entering the guilty plea, James Earl Ray unsuccessfully attempted to retract it and demand a trial. Incredibly, James Earl Ray turned down two separate bribes, one of which was recorded by his brother Jerry Ray, where he was offered $220,000 by writer William Bradford Huey and the guarantee of a full pardon if he would just agree to have the story “Why I Killed Martin Luther King” written on his behalf.
The Deception
One of the 70 witnesses that William F. Pepper called to testify in King v. Jowers was Bill Schaap, a practicing attorney with particular experience in military law, with bar credentials in New York, Chicago, and DC. Schaap testified at great length about how the government, through the FBI and the CIA, puts people in key positions on editorial boards at influential papers like the New York Times and Washington Post. He describes that although these editorial board members and news directors at cable news outlets may be liberal in their politics, they always take the government’s side in national security-related stories. Before you write that off as conspiracy theory, remember how people like Bill Keller at the New York Times, as well as the Washington Post editorial board, all cheerfully led the march to war in Iraq ten years ago.
Another King v. Jowers witness was Earl Caldwell, a New York Times reporter who was sent to Memphis by an editor named Claude Sitton. Caldwell testified that the orders from his editor were to “nail Dr. King.” In the publication’s effort to sell the story of James Earl Ray as the murderer, the Times cited an investigation into how Ray got the money for his Mustang, rifle, and the long road trip to Tennessee from California. The Times said that according to their own findings as well as the findings of federal agencies, Ray got the money by robbing a bank in his hometown of Alton, Illinois. In Pepper’s closing argument, he says that when he or Jerry Ray talked to the chief of police in Alton, along with the bank president of the branch that was allegedly robbed, neither said they had been approached by the New York Times, or by the FBI. Essentially, the Times fabricated the entire story in order to sell a false narrative that there was no government intervention and that James Earl Ray was a lone wolf.
So for the following 31 years after King’s death, nobody dared to question the constant reiteration of James Earl Ray as the murderer of Martin Luther King. Even 13 years after a jury found the government complicit in a conspiracy to murder the civil rights leader, the complicit media continues to propagate the false narrative they sold us three decades ago and vociferously shout down any alternative theories as to what happened as “conspiracy theory,” framing those putting forth such theories as wackjobs undeserving of any credibility. It’s strikingly similar to how the Washington Post defended their warmongering in a recent editorial commenting on the invasion of Iraq, and had one of their reporters defend the media’s leading of the charge into Iraq.
As we remember Dr. King and the important work he did, we should also reject the official account of his death as loudly as the government and media shout down anyone who tries to contradict their lies. As Edward R. Murrow said, “Most truths are so naked that people feel sorry for them and cover them up, at least a little bit.”

With Friday Closures, Curtailed Service, Sequestration Hits Courts

(April 02, 2013)

Sequestration reduced the Judiciary’s overall funding levels by almost $350 million—a 5 percent cut affecting people, programs, and court operations. Each court decides how to implement the funding cuts, but it is anticipated that nationwide up to 2,000 employees could be laid off this fiscal year, or face furloughs. 

In testimony (pdf) before House appropriators, Judge Julia Gibbons, chair of the Judicial Conference Budget Committee, warned that sequestration’s cuts will impact public safety with fewer probation officers to supervise criminal offenders released in communities, and funding for drug testing and mental health treatment cut 20 percent. In the defender services program, federal defender attorney staffing levels will decline, which will result in delays in appointing defense counsel for defendants. Payments to private attorneys appointed under the Criminal Justice Act also will be delayed as the end of the fiscal year approaches.

The Judiciary continues the cost-containment efforts that, over the last decade, have helped limit the growth in the Judiciary’s budget. Real savings have been achieved in rent, personnel, and information technology. But as Chief Justice John Roberts noted in his Year End Report on the Judiciary(pdf), because the Judiciary has already pursued cost-containment so aggressively, it will become increasingly difficult to economize further without reducing the quality of judicial services.

As Judiciary leaders cautioned House appropriators about sequestration’s long-term effects, threatened courthouse closures and employee furloughs are becoming a reality.

Among those courts, is the District of Colorado. Last week Chief Judge Marcia S. Krieger issued an order(pdf) limiting the scheduling of criminal trials and hearings in federal district court due to budgetary constraints and furloughs. Beginning Friday, April 26, 2013 and continuing through September 30, 2013, no hearings or trials in criminal cases (other than mandatory first appearances before a magistrate judge) will be heard on Fridays. According to Clerk of Court Jeff Colwell, the order was a coordinated effort that took into consideration furloughs in the Federal Public Defenders’ office, as well as mandated furloughs in the U.S. Marshals Services and the U.S. Attorneys office.

"Because the participation of the professionals in these offices is integral to proper adjudication of criminal matters before the Court, coordination in scheduling of criminal trials and hearings is necessary to ensure access to the Court by all parties and the public, appropriate representation to criminal defendants and necessary courthouse security," the order read.

One of the busiest trial courts in the country, the Central District of California, will furlough staff and reduce court services on seven Fridays, from April through August in three of its divisions: Western (Los Angeles), Southern (Santa Ana) and Eastern (Riverside.) The courthouses will be open, but the clerk’s office will be closed except for the criminal intake section and specified emergency civil filings.

Court staff furloughs of one day a month, beginning in May, are planned in the Northern District of California. The court will close the San Francisco, San Jose, and Eureka federal courthouses on the first Friday of each month, and close the Oakland courthouse the first Monday of the month. The court also has accelerated implementation of technological initiatives in its operations, hoping that will save money.

"These efforts will include the expansion of our e-filing program to include attorney admissions paperwork, case-initiating documents in new civil cases, reports from Probation and Pretrial Services, and orders for transcripts from court reporters," said Clerk of Court Rich Wieking.

Beginning in May, the District of Delaware will stop hearing all but absolutely essential criminal proceedings on Fridays. "In light of the impact sequestration is having on the U.S. Marshals Service, the U.S. Attorney's and Federal Public Defender Office, the court will reschedule any existing criminal events and not schedule any new criminal proceedings on Friday, with the exception of emergencies," said Clerk of Court John Cerino.

In the Western District of New York, the court also will not hold criminal proceedings on Fridays. According to Clerk of Court Michael J. Roemer, that isn't only because of the 22 furlough days the Federal Defenders Office has planned. "It's also because of the 14 days the U.S. Attorneys Office has scheduled its attorneys, and the 11 days the U.S. Marshals Service will furlough its Marshals. Although the court itself does not plan to furlough employees, we are simply trying to accommodate the other agencies in implementing their furlough plans."

To accommodate furloughs in the offices of the Federal Defender, U.S. Attorneys, and U.S. Marshals Service, judges in the Eastern District of Missouri will not schedule any criminal proceedings on the second and fourth Fridays of each month, beginning April 26 and running through the end of fiscal year 2013.  

From April 26 through the end of the fiscal year, the District of Utah will limit its Friday calendar, holding criminal hearings every other Friday to accommodate short-staffed U.S. Attorney’s Office, Federal Defenders Office and U.S. Marshals Service who have furloughed staff.

"We set up the schedule to make it a little easier for these agencies to close their offices on these days, except for a skeleton staff," said Clerk of Court Mark Jones. "We haven’t had to furlough staff in the clerk’s office yet, because we’ve cut back through attrition, early retirements and by not filling positions. But we will have to take more drastic measures if additional cuts are made."

In the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, rather than eliminate a day of holding court, bankruptcy judges will stop hearings at 5:00 p.m. sharp.

"This court receives cases which are high profile in nature, many of which affect international parties," said Bankruptcy Clerk of Court Vito Genna. "The Court often goes beyond the regular work schedule, with some hearings ending late evening and often close to midnight." However, over the last two years, the bankruptcy court has lost the equivalent in funding of 26 employees. While it has no plans at this time to furlough employees due to conserving funds and the assistance from the district court with additional funds, it may need to downsize further before the end of the fiscal year.

Subject: RE: US Courts close but not in the media!!!

Hi Ken,

I thought you might want to tell everyone that here in Austin, Tx last night I was speaking with a man who was perplexed. He said his brother had gone to court yesterday and when he got there, no one was there and there were no docs!

I also know someone in New Orleans who works at the court house. She says they shut down. A very powerful attorney is assisting and says he is happy he is no longer an attorney. She said they can not talk about details but they are closed and burning all records. She says they are making private calls to inform folks of the changes.

Wow…

Also I live in this hotel with government officials staying here for some supposed graduation preparing to happen with the FBI, the secret service, the state troopers, the police and the military. We can all hear each other from our hotel rooms. I overheard them talking about how the war is over. How there will not be another war. How we have entered into a time of peace. How he can not give orders because he does not know how to go forward.

This is all a HUGE wow and the media is not speaking a word!!!

Thought you may like to know!

Can my dog stay at your hotel ?

A man wrote a letter to a small hotel in a Midwest town he planned to visit on his vacation. 
He wrote: 

"I would very much like to bring my dog with me. 
He is well-groomed
And very well behaved.
Would you be willing to permit me to keep him in my room with me at night?"

An immediate reply came from the hotel owner, who wrote:
"SIR: I've been operating this hotel for many years. In all that time, I've never had a dog steal towels, bedclothes, silverware or pictures off the walls.
I've never had to evict a dog in the middle of the night for being drunk and disorderly. 
And I've never had a dog run out on a hotel bill.
Yes, indeed, your dog is welcome at my hotel. 
And, if your dog will vouch for you, you're welcome to stay here, too."

Ashtar's Contrast and our responses

Ashtar's Contrast and our responses

 In response to another channelled message - this time Ashtar.   Heather's comments are in bold, I'll add my blunt, straight to the point comments in purple..... and if AK or anyone else has something to add to this as well, I will edited it in in yet another colour.



With Absolute Gratitude, Love and Peace, I DO this one last “time” ...We DO this one last “time”...because apparently some did not get the memo...”NOTICE: ALL that IS, BE embodiments of eternal essence absent limit...DO what you BE...NOW”...   Rec. No. 2013032035, restated and incorporated by reference as if set forth in full  PRE-PAID, PRE-AUTHORIZED, and PRE-APPROVED.

“Part 137, Ashtar Tells of The Changes Needed On The Ground Before Disclosure

by Kathryn E. May, PsyD on 04/01/13”

“It is I, Ashtar.  I have breaking news, and I have chosen this channel because I know the good people will pass it on and assure great distribution to the many readers you serve.”

H:  Why use a channel?  Stand before us, with us, transparently...eternal essence embodied...so that we may experience the intent and integrity directly and use are tools of resonance to know if you BE and DO in Absolute Truth giving Absolute Data.

Me: if you have breaking news that's that important that it needs to be passed on, then you need to tell us yourself- I've seen how the whisper game is played and I do not consent to second/third/forth hand news.  We're sick and tired of these "chosen one" games.

“First, I will inform you of the state of the Disclosure plans.  Barack Obama is fully aware of the growing impatience on the part of Lightworkers, and also aware of the slanderous comments about his dear Michelle being the reason for the hold-up.  This is absolutely not true.  He has not been dragging his feet.”

H:  This moment is about transparency...it is difficult by design of another to know what is Absolute Truth or not when it is done absent transparency to all and the opportunity to vet using our tools of resonance within...

me: If you were dealing with us directly and in complete transparency with no data missing, then we wouldn't have all this gossip, would we?

“He has been following orders from the Council which oversees the Ascension process of Planet Earth, which we are all pledged to abide by.”

H:  Which “Council” is that?  Who purportedly “sits” on this “Council”?  “What IS the purported “Ascension process”?  Ascension from what to what?  I AM eternal essence embodied absent limit  since before this experiment began and I DO what I BE,...I DO NOT CONSENT TO LIMITS placed upon me, especially by those who choose not to present them self transparently before me.

me: 1) If there is a council then I wish to be on it to represent myself as I am a Free BEing and do not accept any representation or council member to speak on my behalf.
2) As I said in the RTS skype room this morning:  there is no such thing as 3D, 5D, 9.5D, 3182D or any other "level" of "D"- this is a construct of hierarchy, an invention of those who would tell you what to do: "I'm 7D and you are only 5D, so therefore I am HIGHER than you!"  ..... bollux!  We are all Eternal Essence Embodied- no higher, no lower, all EQUAL.

“This process is difficult enough without having rumors flying around which insult the integrity of our Ascended Masters.”

H:  Please clarify to me what IS your definition of “Ascended Master”.  Do they require others to BE less than them to support their purported “Ascended Master” state?  I BE transparent and DO with full responsibility and liability for all to rely upon, for all to experience, question, and dissect...the purported “Ascended Masters” have not provided me with the same opportunity and experience, and I DO desire, choose and request transparency NOW, especially when you or another claims that they are “oversee'ing” anything regarding my embodiment and what I BE.

me: I don't have a "Master"- ascended, descended or any other type

“Next, let me update you on the progress.  As you might have suspected, this is a multi-pronged effort, including not only the spectacular celebration of welcoming your Brother and Sisters.  It is far more complex than that.  It involved the complete overhaul of your financial, legal and social systems. That cannot be done without complete chaos unless the work has been done by our representatives on the ground to have the following things in place:”

H:  Again....This moment is about transparency...it is difficult by design of another to know what is Absolute Truth or not when it is done absent transparency to all and the opportunity to vet, review, and dissect using our tools of resonance within...and, the closure of unlawful and illegal slavery systems, inclusive of financial, legal, and corporate WERE DONE ABSENT COMPLETE CHAOS, PEACEFULLY.

me: if it's MY financial, legal and social systems that you are helping to "over haul" then I suggest that you get MY input on it.  I didn't vote for someone to represent me or my family. I represent ME, no one else, and as I AM Eternal Essence Embodied I no longer need "financial, legal and social systems"- the value is ME, MY SELF and I and everything else is irrelevant.

“An alternate financial system through which everyone can access funds to continue their lives in an orderly fashion, including being able to access food and basic necessities for the interim.”

H:  Alternate “financial system”...Who is to operate it?  Please identify and clarify with specificity and particularity the proposed mechanics, “operations”, “terms and conditions” and principals of this proposed “financial system”...I sense there are many and that they are complex...sooo unnecessary unless the purpose is to distract, hide or disguise the simplicity of what IS ABSOLUTE VALUE...BE'ing eternal essence embodied and the exchange mechanism, DO'ing what you BE...It is that simple.  

H:  “Funds”...please identify with specificity and particularity what the purported “funds” are, and clarify and produce the documentation of the history and origin of these proposed “funds” so that all may review, dissect and vet them and who purportedly “owns” them and how they came in their possession.  

H:  I DO NOT CONSENT TO ANY SLAVERY SYSTEM, INCLUSIVE OF FINANCIAL SYSTEMS that limit my BE'ing and DO'ing in any way, shape or form.  Again...this is the moment for transparency, Absolute Data and Absolute Truth.

“Systems of distribution for food, medical care and other necessities outside the usual profiteering channels which have held poor countries and their people hostage.”

H:  What is this proposed system of distribution?  Who is to operate it?  Is it privately “owned”?  Please identify and clarify with specificity and particularity the proposed mechanics, “operations”, “terms and conditions”, and principals of this proposed “system of distribution”.  

“Organizations which are capable of identifying, pursuing and prosecuting the Dark Ones who have created hardship for all of you over the eons.”

H:  What are the identities of these organizations?  Who are the principals of these organizations?  If they are capable of “identifying, pursuing and prosecuting the alleged “Dark Ones” why haven't they done so well before NOW?  What purportedly makes them “capable” NOW?  Interesting claim and “timing”....just when many are remembering through their tools of resonance within that they BE eternal essence embodied...that all that IS, BE eternal essence experiencing through all embodiments simultaneously.

me: So, by YOUR admission and through the system you seem to think that YOU are going to create, then..... if you had "organizations" that were capable of identifying, pursuing and prosecuting the alleged "Dark Ones"".... and did nothing about them and allowed them to "create hardship" for us, then therefore you are completely liable and to be held responsible for allowing their actions without intervening- according to Your OWN system.

“This is an especially important and difficult part of the procedure, since the present systems of courts and prisons are completely riddled with corruption and greed.  We cannot permit the criminals who have misused their power so viciously to continue, or to disappear into the population to begin their destructive work again, as they have done in the past.”

H:  Judgment?  Again.... Interesting claim and “timing”....just when many are remembering through their tools of resonance within that they BE eternal essence embodied...that all that IS, BE eternal essence experiencing through all embodiments simultaneously.  Why maintain the illusion of separation?  Why maintain the illusion of division? Why maintain the illusion of “versus”?  Who benefits from that?  How can one purport on so many occasions that we are all one, that they are “Ascended Masters”, yet in the next breath support the existence of the contrast.....which is it?  I DO NOT CONSENT to any limits on what I BE and DO or imposition of limits on any embodiment of eternal essence absent free will choice to BE limited made by an embodiment.

“New social organizations which can provide shelter for those who need it and emotional support during the massive changes.  Many who have not been reading these messages as you have will be frightened and confused by the sudden Shift to the Light”

H:  I BE eternal essence embodied absent limit...all I see, know and experience BE eternal essence embodied absent limit...what DO I have to fear?  I DO NOT CONSENT TO FEAR IMPOSED UPON ME...thank you for holding the contrast...I get it...that's a wrap!!!   The play is over...I DO NOT CONSENT TO AN ENCORE...however, I bow in absolute gratitude, love and peace...I embrace you.

me: the only ones perpetuating fear at this point is the Cabal and YOU.  What is YOUR agenda in creating this fear?

 “Educational structures to help explain and teach The True Way, and to help usher in the New Golden Age by teaching the children the glorious ways of the New Era.”

H:  What is the purported “True Way”?  Who is to teach and explain to the children, the people?  The purported “Ascended Masters”?

me:  I will teach my children my self thank you- just like I do now.

This is made much easier by the internet - this wonderful resource which allows you to talk across the planet with no time lapse.

H:  Who created the internet?  Who purportedly “owns” the internet? 

It will be used extensively to keep all of you ACCURATELY informed.  Deceptive information and misinformation will no longer be permitted within this medium.

H:  I am so glad no more “deceptive information and misinformation will no longer be permitted within this paradigm”...we already started...join in when you choose by your free will.

me: ditto what Heather said: We're already there, but you're welcome to join us when you wish.

“Media.  Your television stations will be removed from the control of profit-oriented companies and returned to the people.  You will no longer see violence, mind-twisting “entertainment” or bogus news reports from the Powers That Be who have used these outlets for the purpose of mind-control and massive theft of the planet’s resources.”

H:  Many already see, sense, know, and have experienced the Absolute Truth, by their tools of resonance within, regarding contrived events, the intent, and energetic patterns responsible for creating them....in case you did not receive the most recent memo... “NOTICE:  The role and label of “Powers that Were”, inclusive of “Powers that BE”, are reconciled/canceled/retired...with standing ovation, gratitude, love and peace...all BE eternal essence embodied absent limit...DAMN FINE PERFORMANCE...that is a wrap!!!.”

me: thanx, but I don't need your TV shows- I have internal KNOWING and that is the best show on Earth.... actually, in the whole universe.

“Spiritual resources for people who have relied on the traditional Church settings for their sense of community, solace and connection with God.  You will all be called upon to help replace the rigid doctrinaire practices of the present religions with the kind and loving teachings of The True Way.”

H:  What is “The True Way” again?  

me:  *insert smiley smacking head against brick wall*.... wait!  this will do: 

“This will be an ongoing process.  As you have seen, our dear St. Germain has been doing an admirable job as “the Pope,”  gently modeling new behaviors and attitudes which will fairly quickly be shifted to teaching The True Way.  Of course, we ask that you keep this information “under your hats.”  For the time being it will just be thought of as an unfounded and impossible rumor, but we did want you to be in on the wonderful joke so that you can watch carefully and smile with us each time he presents a new and radical break with tradition, smiling sweetly as he dismantles thousands of years of enslavement of the poor and women.”

H:  I don't even know what to say to that...lol....better to let the Absolute Truth be made visible by the embodiments of eternal essence consciously DO'ing.  More fun that way.   The originals are on their way to DO...the squad has been looking forward to the fun of pulling the curtain back on this one, and that with DOD, Pentagon, and more, for some time.  *wink wink*.

me: ...... buhahahahahahahhaha!!!!!!  oh stop! please stop!  my stomach hurts from laughing so much..... ok wheeewwwww, I got my self under control again.  my reply:  Ummmmmmm  You might wanna check with your internal/eternal Knowingometer- I think you'll discover it needs new batteries.  But feel free to bow and scrape to whomever you choose. I'll just stand over here and giggle and point.

“Technological advancements, which we will be introducing quickly and efficiently to take the place of your current primitive sources of power.  We do not wish for millions of people to freeze or swelter as we make the shift to efficient sources.  We are making every effort to provide an orderly transition.”

H:  Technological advancements...interesting...how is it an advancement to reveal what IS, what always has existed?  Oh wait, you mean the synthetic copies that were made from the Absolute Tech that is already deposited within each embodiment of eternal essence?  OK...bring it...NOW...let's have some fun...we just require transparency of any and all terms and conditions that you may have so that we can make an informed choice of whether we play with you.

me:  I already got one- it's very nice- but feel free to share your toys with everyone else. I advise you to do it fairly, without rules, with full transparency.  We love to play when everyone shares nicely.  

“So you see, it is a massively complex undertaking.  Every one of these elements are nearing the stage of completion - that is, they are organizing organically to the point where they will be in place and viable when they are needed.”

H:  No.  I don't see a massively complex undertaking and DO'ing because it was not made transparent and visible to me for my review, dissection, and vetting using the tools of resonance within me...some may deem me “unworthy”, “unintelligent”, “incapable”, an “animal that calls themselves human”...but those are not limits I choose or consent to have put upon me...I BE eternal essence embodied...I can more than handle Absolute Truth and Absolute Transparency...I DO it and require it to BE DONE if you want to play with me.

me: it's only complex because you've made it complex.

“Those of you who are asking what you path is - come forward to join one of these categories of transition work.  Rather than ask when it will all be done, join in the work to make it happen.  Set up groups so that you have contact and frequent communication with your neighbors and friends.  Be a resource for information in your community by letting people know you are available to help out whenever needed.  Your assignments will come thick and fast, and you will be instrumental in making the Ascension plans come to fruition.”

H:  I DO what I BE...I have never resonated with any one telling me what to DO or how to BE...but thank you for holding the contrast with your hierarchies, federations, categories, and assignments...and for assisting me in reconfirming the essence I remember within me...eternal essence.  

“Many of you have heard of the Transition Movement which was begun in the UK and has spread around the world.  Contact these folks to become part of their network.  They are already organizing to help one another for the Change.  You can begin with www.TransitionUS.org, and go on from there to contact people in your area.  They are good people who are already philosophically and emotionally aligned with the coming Shift.”

H:  I am eternal essence's network of embodiments...all are.  DO I NEED ANYTHING ELSE?  No...DO I CHOOSE ANYTHING LESS THAN ETERNAL ESSENCE?  No.  Thank you again for holding the contrast....it is done.  

“I absolutely will not give you a fixed date for the Disclosure Moment.  It will depend upon how many of you mobilize to take positive action.  Follow the guidelines I have given you here.  Reach out to offer yourself as a resource and you will find fulfilling work which will lift you spiritually, which is the goal of all this to begin with, isn’t it?  Lifting yourself spiritually does not involve being given something from On High.  It is an individual process of learning to breathe, think and feel in the Light.  Concentrate on learning to be in complete command of your every thought, feeling and action so that you never do anything you will regret, and so that you are always acting as a Beacon of Light.”

H:  Thank you to all for sending out this purported “Message from Ashtar”, it is a useful tool to remember and anchor who we BE and to DO what we BE.  I BE eternal essence absent regrets and limits...I BE absolute love and gratitude.

me: bullshit.  this is more of the typical "oh YOU have to bring yourself up to OUR level so that we can contact you" crap.  This is just another attempt at harvesting energy and laying blaming and guilt.  Next thing that comes after this is a message of "oh dear, you just didn't raise up your frequencies high enough, you didn't work hard enough, you didn't tell enough people about us.... guess we'll have to try again later when you're better at this"..... Fuck off!  WE ARE A BEACON OF LIGHT!!!  Stop peddling your ridiculous drivel- you want to meet us, you want to come down and play on our lovely planet, then DO IT.  Just like the Faction 3 Pleiadians are already doing, walking around Earth on various military bases- so don't feed us this crap about how you're too lofty to be able to hang around us "3D beings"!!!  All these guilt trips are disgusting and they verge on outright LIES! 

ABSOLUTE TRANSPARENCY RIGHT FREAKIN' NOW.  Belly up to the bar and tell the truth- not just to us but to your OWN people!!!

 “You are all apostles, Dear Children, as we are.  You are the bearers of the good news and the Light of the Central Sun, which you have known as the Godhead.  It is you who will usher in the New Golden Age of Gaia.  We will be there with you, celebrating and offering our gifts just as you offer yours.  This is a joint project, as you have been told.  Be yourself - our brilliant, radiant Self.  Do not be afraid to speak out, to tell what you know, what you have read in these pages.  Anyone who scoffs and refuses to believe you will learn soon enough that you are a leader of the New Age and will come to you for answers when the time comes.  Announce yourselves.  Declare your intention to be of service.  Tell your Guides and Helpers.  Tell Mother/Father God to place your name on the roster of Lightworkers who can be counted on to work for the Ascension cause.  Then begin.  You know what your talents and abilities are.  You can look around you and see what others are in need of.  Begin your Ascension now, by dedicating yourself to the fulfillment of the Great Dream of Gaia and her people.”

H:  “Begin [my] Ascension”...lol...I DULY DECLARE THAT I BE eternal essence embodied absent limit and DO transparently BE of service to all embodiments of eternal essence and offer this to you absent border, dimension, condition, exception and judgement with absolute love, gratitude and peace...all that IS, BE eternal essence embodied absent limit...what DO you choose by your free will to DO in this NOW in service to all embodiments of eternal essence?  Or DO you declare you choose to BE with limit and DO limits onto the other embodiments of eternal essence?

me: "Be yourself - your brilliant, radiant Self.  Do not be afraid to speak out, to tell what you know,..."  That's what I'm doing.  That's what all of us ARE DO'ing..... and yet in the preceding paragraphs you are telling us we have to DO more- we have to change?
"Anyone who scoffs and refuses to believe you will learn soon enough that you are a leader of the New Age and will come to you for answers when the time comes."  EXACTLY.  We don't need to sign up for anything: We are BEing and DOing, exactly as we should. Exactly as our Eternal Hearts guides us to do. 

“We are here with you, at the ready.  We have developed a plan for the Disclosure process which is dramatic, flexible, and fast-moving.  We are, literally, on our toes, in high anticipation of the Great Unfolding.  What a glorious time it is to be here with you.”

H:  I CHOOSE DO'ing absent limit...I CHOOSE TO IMAGINE absent limit and DO what I imagine.  Meet me at the crossroad of NOW and we can transparently DO together if you choose to.  

me: then get on with it.

“And now I leave you to get on with your Ascension work.”

H:  I BE eternal essence embodied absent limit and continue to BE of service to all embodiments of eternal essence...and I DO BE of service to you as you choose in this NOW what you BE and DO what you BE.  I love you whatever choice you make.  With Absolute Gratitude, Love and Peace, Heather Ann Tucci-Jarraf, eternal essence embodied absent limit and DO'ing.

“I am Ashtar.  Salut.”

My final note:  My friends, I love you.  I love you all.  I thank you for the roles you have played in this grand experiment we've all been taking part in.  But the curtains have now closed and there are no encores.  It's time to take off your costume, wipe off the stage make-up and join us for the after show party.  Grab a beer, sit back and we'll have a grand time talking and laughing and sharing our experiences. IT's TIME.  NOW.
