Iraq Meeting Will Decide War

May 21, 2012 - Greg Hunter

 



The meeting, this week, in Iraq to negotiate Iran’s nuclear program will decide whether or not the world will go to war.  The meeting is between the East (Iran, China and Russia) and the West (U.S., UK, France and Germany).   If the meeting goes well, war will be avoided.  If the meeting goes badly, the world will be heading for war.  If yesterday’s CNN interview with Iran’s Finance Minister, Shamseddin Hosseini, is any indication, the upcoming meeting will be a disaster.  When asked if Iran would allow inspectors to scrutinize all its nuclear facilities, Hosseini said, “There are conversations and dialogues taking place currently, but there cannot be a hegemony and a double-standard in the treatment of member countries such as Iran.  If these principles can be understood and applied with mutual respect, I think we will be in a much better place. If we don’t, we will witness an increase in international oil markets.” (CNN)  In other words, he sidestepped the question and gave no indication total access by inspectors would be a possibility.

The Iranian’s have long maintained their nuclear program is for the peaceful production of energy, but the West thinks otherwise.  After the G-8 meeting this weekend at Camp David, it was reported by Haaretz.com, “The G8 expressed “grave concern” about Iran’s nuclear program, which is suspected of being used to develop nuclear weapons, and called on Iran to “seize the opportunity” of the next round of meetings.”  The elephant not in the room remains Israel who is most fearful of the Iranian nuclear program.  After the last meeting in April when only another meeting was agreed upon, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was clearly annoyed.  On Friday, his comments on the upcoming meeting in Iraq were less than optimistic when he said, “No evidence that Iran is serious about stopping its nuclear weapons program.  They may try to go from meeting to meeting with empty promises. They may agree to something in principle but not implement it.  They might even agree to implement something that does not materially derail their nuclear weapons program.” (Haaretz.com) 

An even tougher round of sanctions will kick in in July, and the U.S. Senate is preparing a fresh round of new sanctions.  According to Iran’s Finance Minister, Shamseddin Hosseini, the current sanctions are not working, and new ones could backfire in the Western world’s face as Europe is in a worsening debt crisis.  Additional sanctions will put upward pressure on oil prices, and that will sink already troubled Western economies. Hosseini quoted recent comments by the International Monetary Fund when he said, “. . . as a result of these sanctions, oil prices will perhaps reach and hover around $160 per barrel.”   If there is an all-out attack, then $160 per barrel will look downright cheap.  Many think Israel cannot attack without the help of the United States.  Others think no attack could possibly come until after the November presidential election because spiking oil prices would kill the economy and President Obama’s bid for reelection.  What if those assumptions don’t hold up?

According to one high ranking Russian official, war is definitely a possibility.  Reuters reported yesterday, “Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov was speaking to reporters on a plane on his way back from the G8 summit in Camp David, where the G8 leaders signaled their readiness to tap into emergency oil stockpiles quickly this summer if tougher new sanctions on Iran threatened to strain supplies.  ‘It is one of many various signals coming from various sources that the military option is considered as realistic and possible,’ he said. ‘We are receiving signals, both through public and intelligence channels, that this option is now being reviewed in some capitals as more applicable in this situation.  We are very worried about this. We do not want the region and the world to fall into…new divisions and bitter political arguments,’ said Ryabkov.” (Reuters) There really is no other way to couch this optimistically.  The upcoming May 23 Iraq meeting will decide war.

Fears of Bank Runs Mount in Southern Europe

May 18, 2012

By Stefan Kaiser

The Spanish government has denied reports that €1 billion was withdrawn from beleaguered major savings bank Bankia last week.

Following the downgrade of 16 Spanish banks by Moody's, the focus in the euro crisis is back on the banking sector. Greeks are withdrawing hundreds of millions from their accounts, with reports that the same is happening in Spain. Experts are calling on the European Central Bank to step in and prevent full-scale bank runs.

 

The final wake-up call came from Moody's. On Thursday evening, the US rating agency downgraded 16 Spanish banks in one fell swoop, some of them by three notches. On Monday, the agency had already downgraded 26 Italian banks -- including major institutions such as UniCredit and Intesa Sanpaolo. The outlook for all the institutions involved is negative, Moody's said.

These are drastic steps, but they are hardly excessive. The European sovereign debt crisis long ago also became a banking crisis. The fate of the affected countries can not be separated from that of their financial institutions: If a state goes bankrupt, its banks too will struggle to survive. On the other hand, the examples of Ireland and Spain show that a shaky banking system can quickly overwhelm national budgets.

Moody's justified its downgrades of Spanish banks with the argument that the ability of the government to support individual banks has worsened. On Friday, the Spanish central bank was also forced to admit that the proportion of bad loans on the books of Spanish banks has risen to an 18-year high. According to the central bank, the share of bad loans rose in March to 8.36 percent, compared to 8.15 percent in the previous month.

Clearing Out Accounts
Reports began trickling in earlier this week that savers in Greece were withdrawing hundreds of millions of euros from their bank accounts -- the German news agency DPA reported that almost €900 million was withdrawn just on Monday alone. Since then Europe has been seized by the fear of a worst-case scenario in Greek's banking system: a so-called bank run, as customers who have lost confidence in their banks rush to take out their savings.

Such a run would be the final stage in the loss of confidence in the banks. For months now, wealthy individuals in crisis-hit countries have already been moving billions of euros abroad out of fears about the stability of the financial systems in their own countries. Until recently, however, there had been few signs of abnormal behavior in terms of ordinary savers withdrawing cash.
The reason a bank run is so feared is because it could land every bank in the world in trouble -- even the healthiest ones. The banking system depends on the fact that banks only hold a small portion of customer deposits in cash that is ready to pay out. The rest is invested or passed on to other customers as loans.

Now, rumors are circulating that in Spain, too, people have begun to clear out their accounts at certain banks. The newspaper El Mundo reported that customers had withdrawn over €1 billion from the beleaguered major savings bank Bankia last week. The government in Madrid has denied the report, but the situation remains tense. On Friday, the Spanish newspaper Expansion reported that the US investment bank Goldman Sachs has now been tasked with providing an independent assessment of the problem bank.

'Very Hard to Stop'
Some financial experts are now calling for rapid intervention by the European Central Bank (ECB) in order to prevent mass panic. "Once a bank run begins, it is very hard to stop without a credible deposit guarantee," Tristan Cooper, sovereign debt analyst at Fidelity Worldwide Investment, told the news agency Dow Jones. "Given the fragile fiscal position of Spain, the European Central Bank is under increasing pressure to step in to calm depositors' nerves."

But the ECB's options are limited. It has already provided Europe's banks with extremely cheap money in the form of three-year loans within the scope of its Long Term Refinancing Operations (LTROs). At that time, the banks borrowed a total of around €1 trillion in two auctions in December 2011 and February 2012. The ECB could provide another cash injection now. But some banks in crisis-hit countries are clearly running out of assets to give to the ECB as collateral for the loans. Eligible assets mainly include government bonds, though under certain conditions corporate loans can also be submitted.

On Wednesday, the ECB confirmed that a number of Greek banks have now been cut off from its refinancing operations. They apparently lack sufficient capital to use as collateral. Now those institutions will have to be kept alive through emergency loans from the Greek central bank in Athens.

Not all experts regard cheap money from ECB as a good solution. Hans-Werner Sinn, head of Germany's influential Ifo Institute for Economic Research, says that the ECB's actions have intensified the capital flight from the crisis-hit countries. "The cheap loans have downright put private capital to flight," he wrote in a recent opinion piece for financial daily Handelsblatt. "The purpose of the ECB measures was to build trust again and restore the inter-bank market. In that respect, they obviously weren't particularly successful."

Reboot of the Grid Successful

Reboot of the Grid Successful

Our mass effort was a great success. The critical mass has been achieved.

Although not everybody was doing the exact meditation that was given, enough people were synchronizing their consciousness stream to allow the Light forces to put a computer virus into the artificial intelligence Matrix program on the etheric and astral planes.

This means that fuzzy logic program of the Matrix is now being busy within a closed loop, unable to repair itself and fill the cracks of clear space/time structure in the distorted etheric/astral Matrix electromagnetic field. Those cracks were created with our conscious effort on May 20th.

They will never be closed again and Light will always shine through.

The Matrix will now slowly start disintegrating. There will be less and less dark entities on the etheric and astral planes and Light will shine through more and more.

The positive etheric leyline grid around the planet has been reactivated at the Reboot. This has prevented some quite strong earthquakes that would happen otherwise. It has also allowed an acceleration of the transformation process for this planet to reach a higher vibrational frequency.

The exact moment of the Reboot has initialized a timeline of events that will ultimately lead towards Disclosure and First Contact.

Update by Sheldan Nidle for the Spiritual Hierarchy and the Galactic Federation - May 22, 2012 1 Pax, 10 Lamat, 8 Manik Selamat Balik! We return! Much is happening on your world. A great confrontation between the dark and the Light is coming to a head. This struggle has thoroughly exhausted the governments of the West. These cabal-controlled regimes are at their wit's end as an immense financial crisis continues to deepen. The multiple threats to their stability have increased as the rigors of keeping to a debt-oriented economy are compounded daily by the on-going rebellion of nations like Greece, Iceland, and Ireland, and this rattles them to the core. The arrogance of the large multinational banks is throwing further monkey wrenches into this tottering global predicament. Meanwhile, these same banks are suffering from their own meltdown as the number of liens placed on them accrues. The whole sorry mess teeters on the verge of collapse! As this house of cards wobbles, those nations focused on bringing down the current dollar fiat system are silently enjoying what they have already accomplished. The Light supports their efforts in this, as do those who have worked to create the new and fairer economic system. Our task in these proceedings is one of support, advice, and a helping hand that can be used to promote the proposals made by these thoroughly alarmed nations. In the past, the non-aligned nations were considered by the West to be mere 'afterthoughts.' This marginalizing is now changing as the West's once-mighty economies stare over the edge of a seemingly bottomless sinkhole. This present array of potential calamities was deliberately engineered by the dark cabal during the last two decades as part of their arrogant bid for world domination. Now, Heavenly circumstances beyond their control have thrown this goal off course, placing the cabal at the mercy of their own diabolical trickery. Meanwhile, the Ascended Masters' plans to manifest the new monetary system will tie in nicely with the objectives drawn up by the secret sacred societies of those nations that have broken away from the cabal. The die is cast, and your world is living out the final days of a reality that has endured for millennia. The programs to prepare you for first contact are progressing well. We revise these constantly, to keep up with the ever-shifting profiles in your medical dossiers. The first official broadcasts must be made in such a way as to quell your perplexities and worries. Each of you needs answers that will remove the sting from what we need to do, and we intend to interact personally with all who wish it. This part of the operation is firstly about multiple reunions: the peoples of Inner Earth will be reunited with surface humanity, followed shortly afterwards by the return of your spiritual and space families who, in Love, initially colonized your beautiful planet 900,000 years ago. The veil of amnesia that buffers you on the Earth plane makes you forget who you really are, which is why the first thing is to bring you up to speed on this pivotal issue, and on where first contact is taking you. Then we can more usefully describe how this transformation is to happen. The Ascended Masters will mentor you through this initial stage. Those who have spiritually mentored you down through the ages will be available to field your questions and qualms about how you are to return to full consciousness. Although the process is complex, you need, and will be given, simple, comprehensive answers to your numerous queries. It is vital that you be relieved of any stress in this regard so that you can complete this adventure in a joyous frame of mind. Our personnel will at first assist the Ascended Masters and, if required, show you where this transformation is to take place. Many of you wonder why these procedures are necessary, and we are fully ready to satisfy any and all concerns and questions you may have. All our interactions with you will be Loving and honoring, and done with your full approval. Heaven also intends you to be wholly comfortable with the reasons for the use of a living Light chamber. This special cocoon will heal you and remove the myriad, artificial blocks to your RNA/DNA which were responsible for your fateful fall into limited consciousness 13 millennia ago. Namaste! We are your Ascended Masters! We come on this day to explain some of the activities that will bring you your freedom and end your illegal debt slavery. At the end of the 18th and the start of the 19th century, a banking system came into vogue that was based on accumulating great wealth by means of designated debt instruments. Over time this produced a global increase in the trading and amassing of ever-larger debt instruments, the instability of which resulted in 'panics' from time to time. These cycles consisted of a general upturn in the world's trading markets followed by an abrupt downturn which created incredible wealth in the hands of a few. These cycles are now to end as we turn from this debt-driven economy to one based on true equity. The days of this fiat-money world are numbered and will be replaced by true-value money and an end to the whole concept of debt! There presently exists on your world a series of banking acts that are to make all banking transactions fully transparent and that will regulate the type of funds that a bank needs to maintain in its reserves. All bank accounting is to be open, and a new agency will oversee those banks that operate either domestically or internationally. The funds they either acquire or dispense will be based on equity: precious metals (gold, silver, or platinum), or items that are highly valued, such as diamonds. In order to put this new system in play, an across-the-board debt-forgiveness is an essential prerequisite and will be announced worldwide. This new system is ready to go, but we are sure you understand that what we have described to you is a very simplified general outline of what created the current financial meltdown and the means by which it is to be resolved globally. This new equity system and its new equity economy are to terminate the present abuses which have allowed the few (the dark cabal) to take over every nation and control it by clever use of its banking system. So therefore, one of our first moves is to take over the major banks of your world in order to secure the viability of the new financial system. But remember, even this fair and prosperity-oriented system is only a stopgap to the state of abundance that lies beyond money. Our over-arching concern here is your return to full consciousness. Heaven has mandated that you return to a state of consciousness that permits you to work with us in unfolding the divine plan for physicality. This supreme task is the basis for all our divine service and we are committed to your return to full consciousness in as short a time as divinely possible. We have acquired the assistance of the Galactic Federation and their capabilities will permit us to achieve our divine goals with great success! Today, we updated you on what is ready to happen worldwide. Your reality has reached a point where it is no longer viable, and so a very serious intervention is underway which is to transform your world and quickly pave the way for your blessed return to full consciousness. Know, dear Ones, that the countless Supply and never-ending Prosperity of Heaven are indeed Yours! So Be It! Selamat Gajun! Selamat Ja! (Sirian for Be One! and Be in Joy!)

The Case of the Missing Terrorists

http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2012/05/14/the-case-of-the-missing-terrorists/

May 14, 2012

If there were any real terrorists, Jose Rodriguez would be dead.
Who is Jose Rodriguez? He is the criminal who ran the CIA torture program. Most of his victims were not terrorists or even insurgents. Most were hapless individuals kidnapped by warlords and sold to the Americans as “terrorists” for the bounty paid.

If Rodriguez’s identity was previously a secret, it is no more. He has been on CBS “60 Minutes” taking credit for torturing Muslims and using the information allegedly gained to kill leaders of al Qaeda. If terrorists were really the problem that Homeland Security, the FBI and CIA claim, Rodriguez’s name would be a struck through item on the terrorists’ hit list. He would be in his grave.
So, also, would be John Yoo, who wrote the Justice (sic) Department memos giving the green light to torture, despite US and International laws prohibiting torture. Apparently, Yoo, a professor at the Boalt School of Law at the University of California, Berkeley, was ignorant of US and international law. And so was the US Department of Justice (sic).

Notice that Rodriguez, “The Torturer of the Muslims,” doesn’t have to hide. He can go on national television, reveal his identity, and revel in his success in torturing and murdering Muslims. Rodriguez has no Secret Service protection and would be an easy mark for assassination by terrorists so capable as to have, allegedly, pulled off 9/11.

Another easy mark for assassination would be former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, who staffed up the Pentagon with neoconservative warmongers such as Paul Wolfowitz and Douglas Feith, who in turn concocted the false information used to justify the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan. Rumsfeld himself declared members of al Qaeda to be the most vicious and dangerous killers on earth. Yet Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Feith, Richard Perle, together with neoconservative media propagandists, such as William Kristol and Max Boot, have been walking around safe for years unmolested by terrorists seeking revenge or bringing retribution to those responsible for as many as 1,000,000 Muslim deaths.

Condi Rice, Colin Powell, who delivered the Speech of Lies to the UN inaugurating the invasion of Iraq, and Dick Cheney, whose minimal Secret Service protection could not withstand a determined assassination attempt, also enjoy lives unmolested by terrorists.
Remember the deck of cards that the Bush regime had with Iraqi faces? If terrorists had a similar deck, all of those named above would be “high value targets.” Yet, there has not been a single attempt on any one of them.

Strange, isn’t it, that none of the above are faced with a terrorist threat. Yet, the tough, macho Navy Seals who allegedly killed Osama bin Laden must have their identity kept hidden so that they don’t become terrorist targets. These American supermen, highly trained killers themselves, don’t dare show their faces, but Rodriguez, Rumsfeld, and Condi Rice can walk around unmolested. Indeed, the Seals’ lives are so endangered that President Obama gave up the enormous public relations political benefit of a White House ceremony with the heroic Navy Seals. Very strange behavior for a politician. A couple of weeks after the alleged bin Laden killing, the Seals unit, or most of it, was wiped out in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan.

If you were a Muslim terrorist seeking retribution for Washington’s crimes, would you try to smuggle aboard an airliner a bomb in your underwear or shoe in order to blow up people whose only responsibility for Washington’s war against Muslims is that they fell for Washington’s propaganda? If you wanted to blow up the innocent, wouldn’t you instead place your bomb in the middle of the mass of humanity waiting to clear airport security and take out TSA personnel along with passengers? Terrorists could coordinate their attacks, hitting a number of large airports across the US at the same minute. This would be real terror. Moreover, it would present TSA with an insolvable problem: how can people be screened before they are screened?

Or coordinated attacks on shopping malls and sports events?

Why should terrorists, if they exist, bother to kill people when it is easy to cause mayhem by not killing them? There are a large number of unguarded electric power substations. Entire regions of the country could be shut down. The simplest disruptive act would be to release large quantities of roofing nails in the midst of rush hour traffic in Boston, New York, Washington DC, Atlanta, Dallas, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco. You get the picture: thousands and thousands of cars disabled with flat tires blocking the main arteries for days.

Before some reader accuses me of giving terrorists ideas, ask yourself if you really think people so clever as to have allegedly planned and carried out 9/11 couldn’t think of such simple tactics, plots that could be carried out without having to defeat security or kill innocent people?  My point isn’t what terrorists, if they exist, should do. The point is that the absence of easy-to-do acts of terrorism suggests that the terrorist threat is more hype than reality. Yet, we have an expensive, intrusive security apparatus that seems to have no real function except to exercise power over American citizens.

In place of real terrorists carrying out easy plots, we have “terrorist” plots dreamed up by FBI and CIA agents, who then recruit some hapless or demented dupes, bribing them with money and heroic images of themselves, and supplying them with the plot and fake explosives. These are called “sting operations,” but they are not. They are orchestrations by our own security agencies that produce fake terrorist plots that are then “foiled” by the security agencies that hatched the plots. Washington’s announcement is always: “The public was never in danger.” Some terrorist plot! We have never been endangered by one, but the airports have been on orange alert for 11.5 years.

The federal judiciary and brainwashed juries actually treat these concocted plots as real threats to American security despite the government’s announcements that the public was never in danger.

The announcements of the “foiled” plots keep the brainwashed public docile and amenable to intrusive searches, warrantless spying, the growth of an unaccountable police state, and endless wars.

The “War on Terror” is a hoax, one that has been successfully used to destroy the US Constitution and to complete the transformation of law from a shield of the people into a weapon in the hands of the state. By destroying habeas corpus, due process, and the presumption of innocence, the “War on Terror” has destroyed our security.

Make Believe President Obama is a know nothing fool

Subject: : Unreal!   I got shot down over N Vietnam in 1967, a Sqdn. Commander.    After I returned in 1973....I published 2 books that dealt a lot with "real torture" in Hanoi .  Our make-believe president is branding our country as a bunch of torturers when he has no idea what torture is. As for me, I was put thru a mock execution because I would not respond... Pistol whipped on the head....same event..  Couple of days later... hung by my feet all day. I escaped and a couple of weeks later, I got shot and recaptured.  Shot was OK...what happened afterwards was not. They marched me to Vinh...put me in the rope trick, trick...almost pulled my arms out of the sockets. Beat me on the head with a little wooden rod until my eyes were swelled shut, and my unshot, unbroken hand a pulp. Next day hung me by the arms....rebroke my right wrist...wiped out the nerves in my arms that control the hands....rolled my fingers up into a ball.  Only left the slightest movement of my L forefinger.   so I started answering with some incredible lies. Sent me to Hanoi strapped to a barrel of gas in the back of a truck. Hanoi ..on my knees....rope trick again.  Beaten by a big fool.   Into leg irons on a bed in Heartbreak Hotel. Much kneeling--hands up at Zoo. Really bad beating for refusing to condemn Lyndon Johnson. Several more kneeling events.  I could see my knee bone thru kneeling holes. There was an escape from the annex to the Zoo.  I was the Senior officer of a large building because of escape...they started a mass torture of all commanders. I think it was July 7, 1969..they started beating me with a car fan belt. In first 2 days I took over 300 strokes...then stopped counting because I never thought I would live thru it. They continued day-night torture to get me to confess to a non-existent part in the escape.  This went on for at least 3 days.  On my knees... fan belting...cut open my scrotum with fan belt stroke.  Opened up both knee holes again.  My fanny looked like hamburger..I could not lie on my back. They tortured me into admitting that I was in on the escape...and that my 2 room-mates knew about it. The next day I denied the lie. They commenced torturing me again with 3- 6- or 9 strokes of the fan belt every day from about July 11 or 12th..to 14 October 1969.  I continued to refuse to lie about my roommates again. Now, the point of this is that our make-believe president has declared to the world that we (U.S..) are a bunch of torturers...Thus it will be OK to torture us next time when they catch us...because that is what the U.S Does. Our make-believe president is a know nothing fool who thinks that pouring a little water on some one's face, or hanging a pair of women's pants over an Arabs head is TORTURE..  He is a meathead. I just talked to MOH holder Leo Thorsness, who was also in my squadron, in jail..as was John McCain...and we agree that McCain does not speak for the POW group when he claims that Al Gharib was torture...or that "water boarding" is torture. Our president and those fools around him who keep bad mouthing our great country are a disgrace to the United States .  Please pass this info on to Sean Hannity.  He is free to use it to point out the stupidity of the claims that water boarding...which has no after effect...is torture.  If it got the Arab to cough up the story about how he planned the attack on the twin towers in NYC, hurrah for the guy who poured the water. ____________________________________________________________________ " Bud " Day, Medal Of Honor Recipient George Everett " Bud " Day(born February 24, 1925) is a retired U.S. Air Force Colonel and Command Pilot who served during the Vietnam War.

How A Small Girl & 57 Cents Changed History

How A Small Girl & 57 Cents Changed History

05/22/2012

Whether we realize it or not every word that we say and every action that we do has an impact -- positive or not -- on those around us -- You may think that to the world you are just one person and cannot possibly make a difference -- but in reality -- to one person -- you could be the world -- as in this story -- Hope you enjoy - May we all reach out and make a difference today - Recaps Team

A sobbing little girl stood near a small church from which she had just been turned away because it was too crowded. As the pastor walked by and seen her he asked her what was the matter and she looked up at him with big tears on her cheeks and said "they won't let me go to Sunday school.

The pastor asked why, and she told him that a man inside said there was no more room for me. This melted the pastor’s heart as to the sincerity of how a small child could want to attend church so bad that her feelings were hurt.

Seeing her shabby unkept appearance with tangled hair and dirty dress the pastor could imagine the reason someone turned her away. Her took her by the hand, took her inside and found a place for her to sit in the Sunday school class.
...
Read More Link On Right

The child was so happy that her new found friend had helped her find a seat. She had been dreaming about Jesus and knew that he lived in that church house and she wanted to meet him.

She went to bed that very night thinking of all the children who have never been given a chance to go to Jesus house and see what a kind loving friend he is.

Some two years later the poor little girl lay dead of unknown causes in one of the tenement buildings where she played.

The parents were poor by most standards and called the kind hearted pastor (that they had come to know so well thru the excitement their daughter had shown when talking about him) to see if he would help them with the final task of her burial.

As her little body was being moved a worn and crumpled red purse was found which seemed to have been rummaged from some throw away trash garbage.

Inside was 57 cents and a note scribbled in childish hand writing which read: Dear Jesus this is to help build the little church bigger so more children can go to Sunday school. I have been saving this for two years, i hope it helps.

When the pastor tearfully read that note, he knew instantly what he had to do. Carrying this note and the cracked little red purse to the pulpit the following Sunday he told the story of her unselfish love and devotion.

He challenged the people to get busy and raise enough money for a larger building, but the story doesn't end here. A newspaper got hold of the story and published it. It was read by a wealthy realtor who was so touched he offered them a parcel of land worth many thousands.

When told that the church could not afford it, he offered it to them for 57 cents.

When word spread of this story checks were coming from far and wide. Within 5 years the little girl’s gift of 57 cents had grown to over $250,000.00, a huge sum of money near the turn of the century.

That little gift planted a seed and her unselfish love was the spark of inspiration needed to move mountains.

Now this is where the story changed history, if you are ever in the city of Philadelphia look up Temple Baptist church with a seating capacity of 3,300 and be sure to visit Temple University were thousands of students are educated.

But don't stop there have a look at Good Samaritan Hospital and at a Sunday school building which houses hundreds of beautiful children, built so that no child in the area would ever be left outside during Sunday school ever again.

One of the rooms of this building you can see a sweet picture of this little girl whose 57 cents became a legend along with a portrait of her kind pastor Russell H. Conwell author of the book "Acres of Diamonds".

See how this little girl moved the hearts of many and still today Temple Baptist Church, Temple University and all its buildings were started by one little girl standing outside that little small church sobbing in tears because they would not let her come in to see Jesus.

God’s message is this: God can move mountains thru the willing, he can make things happen beyond belief and sometimes in the simplest means. Jesus who took her to heaven at that innocent age used the hearts of many to make sure that all children in that area would have a chance to meet him learn about him and live a better life.

Even though she died in that empty building she lives on through the lives of everyone who made her dream come true.

Hi, Folks - From the 1967 "Days of Future Passed" album, here are Moody Blues with music listed as: 5. The Afternoon: (8:23) "Forever Afternoon (Tuesday?)" (Justin Hayward) - (5:06) "(Evening) Time to Get Away" (Lodge) [unlisted track] - (3:17) Wikipedia says about the album: The concept of both the stage show and the album was very simple, tracing an "everyman's day" from dawn to night, from awakening to sleep. The seven tracks spawned two hit singles: "Tuesday Afternoon" (which on the album was combined with "Evening: Time To Get Away" into a single track titled "The Afternoon: Forever Afternoon (Tuesday?)") and "Nights in White Satin" which hit No. 2 five years after the LP's original release. Both remain commercial radio mainstays across various formats and de rigueur performances in concert. Thanks to YouTuber===== http://youtu.be/GEMuAnFH_lM ===== --hobie

"THE KILLING OF PARADISE PLANET?

For many years my curiosity was centered upon "What Life Was Like Before Noah's Day - Before the Flood. Then later this Google video explained it all. The title is: THE KILLING OF PARADISE PLANET. This video is  most interesting to those concerned. Will This EARTH  Revert back to the pristine WAY it once was?  I also received a printed version which has great graphics. Judge for yourself.

Health - How Disease Begins

How Disease Begins
When most people are in the company of others (like at a party), they talk about things like sports, politics, hobbies, their kids, movies, the weather or the (ouch!) stock market. Me? Invariably, I end up talking about farting, burping and pooping. I can't escape it! When people learn that I'm the author of Great Taste No Pain, undoubtedly someone will pull me aside at some point to tell "their story." I once had a first-time acquaintance describe her feces to me in such detail that I'm surprised she didn't give it a name. That's OK. I'm happy to hear pooping stories if it means I can help someone. But when the subject of probiotics comes up, people are generally very confused. You see, most people know deep down that their diet affects their health, but they're in the dark about "this whole probiotic thing" as it was once put to me. Here's a perfect example. When I was at a housewarming party recently, I was asked this question by a friend of a friend: "I don't have any digestive problems. Do I still need probiotics?" I told this guy, "Yes. Probiotics are about as necessary as air." Here's why: No symptoms does not mean no problems Even if you don't feel symptoms of a digestive problem, that doesn't mean that there isn't trouble brewing. Because our typical western diet is loaded with processed, chemicalized, drug-laced, acid forming foods that wreak havoc on your intestinal flora and allow harmful bacteria to flourish. Constantly. But while many people eating this way have digestive problems, some don't feel a thing... even while eating the exact same foods. Instead, their gut wall may be leaking toxins and undigested proteins into the bloodstream that come out as something seemingly unrelated like headaches, muscle and joint pains, skin problems, allergies or asthma. Or worse, a serious disease (like cancer or diverticulitis) might be quietly manifesting, and when it rears its ugly head, it will seem to have come "out of nowhere." Nothing could be farther from the truth! Disease NEVER comes out of nowhere--it is created from poor dietary habits and external toxins. And when you don't have a hefty population of beneficial bacteria in your body to eliminate toxins, keep dangerous bacteria in check and make your gut wall strong, your body is ripe for sickness and disease... ...Even though no symptoms are felt ahead of time. It's "in the air" In addition, even if you're the picture of health, there are pathogens all around you -- in the air, on other people, in your food or water -- that can make you extremely sick if you don't have enough beneficial bacteria to surround them and fight them off.  This is why one person can get sick and 5 others don't, even though they were all exposed to the same conditions, the same germs, the same viruses. So probiotic supplementing is important. Tick-tock, tick-tock And there's one "condition" that ALL of us face every single day... That darn biological clock. As you age, your digestive enzyme production decreases, making it more difficult to break down your foods. So probiotic supplementing is important. Plus, as we all age, there is a natural decline in our population of friendly bacteria such as the Lactobacilli and Bifidobacterium species, and a concurrent increase in harmful bacteria. Talk about a double whammy. People over age 60 have 1/1000 of the beneficial bacteria that they had when they were younger.  This is why older people develop constipation, IBS and colon cancer, even when they never had a single apparent problem throughout their lives. So probiotic supplementing is important. As you age, your immune system also takes a hit because of your body's decreased ability to assimilate and utilize nutrients from your food. So probiotic supplementing is important. Medications (which are common in the older population) also upset the balance of your intestinal flora, and lead to an increasingly weak immune system. So you can clearly see that you don't need to be sick to need probiotics. Probiotics are not just something to take because you're sick -- they're essential to take if you want to BE well and healthy and STAY that way. Super Shield probiotic formula, with its 13 medical grade strains of the world's most researched and proven helpful bacteria will help ensure that your population of beneficial bacteria is plentiful and strong. See why it's so strong here. The formula is of such high-quality and so strong, that our formulator literally thought we were joking when we told them what we wanted in it. They had never seen a probiotic supplement with so many research-grade strains. And the best part is it's available for about half what other companies would charge if they had products with this much in it.  Half. Don't wait to get sick before you start taking care of your insides. Especially when it's so easy to do! Taking Super Shield daily can help support you in feeling great long into your golden years. Get it here now. To your health, Sherry Brescia PS: 78 yr old no longer has disabling diarrhea thanks to Super Shield. Dear Sherry, I was constipated for 4 years due to dependence on pain meds for a back injury. Then I had surgery and got off the pain meds. I am 78 years old and because of all the medication I was taking I developed diarrhea that was almost disabling. To make a long story short I have been on Super Shield for 5 weeks and my life has been turned around. I am regular and controlled and don't have to worry about where the nearest bath room is.

14 United State Governors Prepare State Militia Defenses: To Counter Obama’s Rogue Federal Forces!

Any information , or verification that can be presented will be appreciated . The current situation is very GRAVE ! 

   The Tenth Amendment should allow the Governors of the sequestered National Guards Units to repatriate the Guard Units back to the individual states protection.

Sorry, I don’t know how old this article is, I cannot find when the article was posted, but it might be useful info…

14 United State Governors Prepare State Militia Defenses: To Counter Obama’s Rogue Federal Forces!

Obama fearing a revolution against him by the states, has moved swiftly by nationalizing nearly all National Guard Forces in multiple states; Georgia, Alabama, Kansas, Minnesota, Tennessee, Virginia, Louisiana, South Carolina – to name a few. The Governors of the Great States of Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia still have under their Command-and-Control the State Defense Forces to go against U.S. Federal forces should the need arise. Also important to note: There are NO U.S. laws prohibiting National Guard troops from also joining their State’s Defense Forces. This dilemma occurred during the Civil War with many “citizen soldiers” choosing to serve their states instead of the Federal Government.

Fire Ants - Club Soda will do them in!

Should work on almost any ANT colony....try it.

Well worth a try............. SEND TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY. This is a new twist to killing fire ant colonies. For those not familiar with Walter Reeves, he is from the University of Georgia agriculture department, specializing in home gardening. His television show, 'Gardening in Georgia ', is on each Saturday. I know fire ants are picky eaters and any type poison that is effective takes seven feeding steps before the queen receives it. Plus, if the bait is stored in close proximity to any petroleum or fertilizer products they won't touch it. Contact poisons that are on the market just cause the colony to move away. A well developed colony can be as deep as 30 feet and spread out some 20 to 50 feet from the mound center... This was documented by studies done in the early 60's when they were first sited in South Alabama . An environmentally friendly cure for fire ants has been announced by Walter Reeves on his Georgia Gardener radio program. Testimonials that it REALLY WORKS are coming in. Simply pour two cups of CLUB SODA (carbonated water) directly in the center of a fire ant mound. The carbon dioxide in the water is heavier than air and displaces the oxygen which suffocates the queen and the other ants. The whole colony will be dead within about two days. Besides eliminating the ants, club soda leaves no poisonous residue, does not contaminate the ground water, and does not indiscriminately kill other insects. It is not harmful to your pets, soaks into the ground. Each mound must be treated individually and a one liter bottle of club soda will kill 2 to 3 mounds. Spread the word. ====================================================== Club soda won't kill fire ants, but this recipe will  26 0 A Text Size   By KARA KUNKEL / Special Contributor to The Dallas Morning News Published: 10 March 2010 02:55 AM The information in the e-mail sounds too good to be true: Pouring club soda (carbonated water) onto a fire ant mound will kill the ferocious little ankle-biters. That's the problem: It isn't true. According to entomologists, this false remedy has been making the rounds of e-mail contact lists, blogs and other Internet postings. One recent version claims that Walter Reeves, a gardening expert and retired University of Georgia cooperative extension agent, advocates club soda to vanquish fire ants. He does not, as he has stated on his Web site, www.walterreeves.com. A recent flurry of questions about the alleged remedy spurred fire ant experts at Texas A&M to write news releases to post online. One of their colleagues, Elizabeth "Wizzie" Brown, an integrated pest management specialist with Texas AgriLife Extension, tested the club soda remedy last year and found that it did not work. Pouring club soda onto a mound did little more than "produce lots of impressive bubbling action," she said. People are attracted to this home remedy because it uses a readily available product and does not harm the environment, Texas AgriLife researchers say. Disturbing fire ants by pouring liquid into the nest may cause them to move into other parts of their extensive underground and multiple-mound tunnel system, but club soda won't suffocate the ants with carbon dioxide, says Dr. Mike Merchant, a professor and entomologist with Texas AgriLife Extension Service in Dallas. Fire ant baits are the most effective way to control fire ants, and they work best when broadcast over a large area to reach even undetected ants and mounds, Merchant says. Howard Garrett, who writes a weekly organic gardening column for The Dallas Morning News, estimates he received more than 100 inquiries about the club soda remedy, which he categorizes as wishful thinking. His organic treatment can be mixed in the kitchen or purchased ready to use (dirtdoctor.com). Howard Garrett's fire ant killer To make Garrett Juice, mix the following in 1 gallon of water: 1cup compost tea 1 ounce molasses 1 ounce apple cider vinegar 1 ounce liquid seaweed Add 2 ounces orange oil to a gallon of Garrett Juice and drench the fire ant mound. Repeat as needed. http://www.dallasnews.com/lifestyles/home-and-gardening/headlines/20100310-Club-soda-won-t-kill-fire-3988.ece

An interesting aside, the recently passed law that you go federal pen for one year for protesting Obama or any event where even one secret service agent is present? The streets of Chicago were filled with thousands of protesters. Why no arrests? Rumor ------ The First Amendment was mandated by the states to protect political speech. The First Amendment was a freedom breakthrough, but you would never know that if you were a student in one North Carolina classroom. A student stood firm in his beliefs about President Obama and challenged his teacher on the claim that Mitt Romney was a bully in high school. The student pointed out that President Obama admitted shoving a girl to the ground in his book Dreams from My Father. The teacher screamed the following in disapproval: “Stop, no, because there is no comparison. [Romney is] running for president. Obama is the president.” It’s obvious that the the teacher is an Obama zombie. The teacher then goes into intimidation mode by telling the student that it is wrong to “disrespect the president of the United States in this classroom.” He points out that what President Obama wrote in his own book is not being disrespectful; it’s being factual. He could have also pointed out that the President was a drug user. The teacher then tells the student – wrongly – that it is a criminal offense to say bad things about a president. “Do you realize that people were arrested for saying things bad about Bush? Do you realize you are not supposed to slander the president?” Referencing the First Amendment, the student, obviously knowing more than his teacher, tells her that any suppression of his opinions would be a violation of the First Amendment. I suspect that these types of incidents are common all across the United States. We are fortunate that not all students are brainwashed. There may still be hope for America.

Obama - Death Over 75

Subject: DEATH OVER 75 (NOT A JOKE)

I have checked this out  and from what I can find it is true. Death over 75 - a must read for all !!

Now we know why Obama didn't want anyone to read this before they passed it!  These people have to be defeated in 2012 or our goose is cooked.

This really makes us stop and think. Right? Death Sentence

I had one of the most troubling, most disturbing conversations ever with  Dr. Suzanne Allen, head of emergency services at the Johnson City Medical Center in Tennessee.  We were discussing the "future" and I asked her had she seen any affects of Obama Care in her work?

"Oh, yes.  We are seeing cutbacks throughout the services we provide. For example, we are now having to deal with patients who would normally receive dialysis who can no longer be accepted. In the past, there was always automatic approval under Medicare for anyone  who needed dialysis -- not anymore."  So, what will be their outcome?  "They will die soon without dialysis," she stated.

What about other services? She indicated as of 2013 (after the election), no one over 75 will be given major medical procedures unless approved by locally administered Ethics Panels.  These Panels will determine whether a patient receives medical treatment or not.  While details on specific operating procedures and schedules, Dr. Allen points out that most life-threatening emergencies do not occur during normal hospital business hours, and if there are emergencies that depend to be resolved within minutes or just few hours, the likelihood of getting these Panels approval in time to save a life are going to be very challenging and difficult, if not impossible she said.

This applies to major operations such as receiving stents, bypass surgery, kidney operations, or treating for an aneurysm that would be normally covered under Medicare today.  In other words, if you needed a life-saving operation, Medicare will not provide coverage anymore after 2013 if you are 75 or over.  When in 2013?  "We haven't been given a specific date -- but it's after the election."

This is shocking to any of us who will be 75 this year.  Her advice -- get healthy and stay healthy.  We do not know the specifics of the actual implementation of the full Obama Care policies and procedures -- " they haven't filtered down to the local level yet.

But we are already seeing severe cuts in what we provide to the elderly -- we refused dialysis to an individual who was 78 just the other day..we refused to give stents to a gentleman who was in his late
80s."  Every day, she said, we are seeing these cutbacks aimed at reducing care across the board for anyone who is over 75.

We can only hope that Obama Care will be overturned by the Supreme Court -- otherwise, this is a death sentence to those who are over 75..perhaps you should pass this on to your friends who are thinking of voting for Obama this year.

Regardless if you have private health care coverage now it will no longer apply after 2013 if the Ethics Panels disapprove of a procedure that may save your life.

Scary, scary, scary.  Think about this -  You?  Your parents?  Your loved ones? Didn't know about it?  Of course, not.  As Nancy Pelosi said.."well, if you want to know what's in the bill, you'll have to read it.. " After it was passed."

This is a graphic reminder of the need to stay healthy.  Get your plot now at Forest Lawn..while they last.  Is this a death sentence to those of us who will reach 75?  Yes!

My Thoughts.... There is a special place in HELL for those that support this kind of thinking...

Note: All Legislators and Government Officials will be excluded from Obamacare.  They have their own Medical Plan.
