NaturalNews exclusive: UNITED-Continental airline pilots forced to fly with as little as 3 hours' sleep, 'worked until we drop'

by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor

(NaturalNews) Whistleblower pilots flying for United / Continental airlines warn that they are being "worked until we drop," forced to pilot consecutive long-distance flights with as little as three hours' sleep. In a series of secret meetings with NaturalNews, three United / Continental pilots described the "utter hell" they are being put through:

"We are being worked until we drop," one pilot to me in a recent face-to-face meeting in Texas. "United-Continental is flying us in violation of FAA legal requirements. Pilot fatigue is at red alert levels. This is an accident waiting to happen."

The FAA requires pilots to have at least 8 hours of rest in any given 24-hour period. From the FAA's website:

...a pilot is not allowed to accept, nor is an airline allowed to assign, a flight if the pilot has not has at least eight continuous hours of rest during the 24-hour period. In other words, the pilot needs to be able to look back in any preceding 24-hour period and find that he/she has had an opportunity for at least eight hours of rest. If a pilot's actual rest is less than nine hours in the 24-hour period, the next rest period must be lengthened to provide for the appropriate compensatory rest.

But NaturalNews was told that United-Continental is operating in blatant violation of this rule. One pilot explained to me, in detail:

"The airline often schedules us with only nine hours of time from arrival of one flight to the departure of the next. They claim this is supposed to give us nine hours of rest, but on a recent turnaround in [city withheld for privacy], our flight had more handicapped customers than was recorded in the manifest, and we had to wait for more wheelchairs to arrive, which took an extra 45 minutes. Then we were over an hour on transportation to the hotel, and another hour for check-in and getting to the room. I had exactly 2 hours and 49 minutes of sleep before I was required to get up, shower, dress, check out, get back on the transportation van, get through the airport, and back on the flight deck for preflight. I then flew a long-duration trans-continental flight, managed to catch six hours of sleep after that, and was piloting yet another flight."

The cost of pilot fatigue: Injury, death and lost planes

The cost of pilot fatigue can be catastrophic. Earlier this year, an Air Canada pilot awoke from an in-flight nap disoriented. He thought the planet Venus (which can appear as a bright "star" on the horizon) was an approaching plane, so he nose-dived the airliner to avoid what he thought was a potential collision.

The result? A 400-foot altitude plunge, 7 people in the hospital and 16 injured passengers and crew. As reported in the DailyMail: (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2130799/Pilot-fatigue-blamed-...)

Jon Lee, chief investigator, said the incident shows the problems airline crews face when dealing with being sleepy. He said: 'This occurrence underscores the challenge of managing fatigue on the flight deck.'

Pilots have even died from fatigue, even while piloting flights carrying hundreds of passengers.

Did pilot fatigue kill Continental pilot Craig Lenell?

"One of our own had a heart attack and died a few weeks ago, in-flight," the United-Continental pilots told me. The story checks out. The pilot's name was Craig Lenell. He was described as being in "perfect health" and was piloting a Boeing 777 from Brussels to Newark. As Fox News reports:

Lenell died of a suspected heart attack midway through Continental Airlines Flight 61 on Thursday. Two co-pilots took over the controls. Passengers didn't know anything was wrong until they landed and were met by fire trucks, emergency vehicles and dozens of clamoring reporters. (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,527465,00.html)

"If something doesn't change soon, you're going to see more pilots dying in-flight," I was told. "Or worse, you're going to see a fatal mistake, and 150-plus customers could be falling out of the sky."

Pilot fatigue is even more critical when flying into difficult airports. Many airports served by United and Continental are surrounded by volcanoes and mountains. Localized weather patterns and storm cells make navigation very complex, even for experienced pilots. "The way we're being flown with these lapses in sleep, it's only a matter of time before we lose a flight," one of the pilots told me. "[United / Continental] is rolling the dice with the lives of its customers."

Pilot fatigue being pushed to its limits by airline company management

United-Continental is currently in a back-wages battle with its pilots. I was told that pilots have had their pensions stolen by the company. They're owed back-wages dating back several years, the pilots told me, and the company is refusing to pay. As a result, pilots are staging a "work slowdown" that has caused the airline's on-time flight record to plummet in recent months.

Over 1,400 pilots have been laid off by the company (http://crewroom.alpa.org/ual/DesktopModules/ViewDocument.aspx?Documen...), even at a time when remaining pilots are being stretched so thin that they're often flying in a sleep-deprived state.

"Retired Continental Airline pilots alleged that Continental had breached the retirees' pension plan by improperly calculating their salaries when determining their pension benefits," reports Corporate Financial Weekly Digest (http://www.corporatefinancialweeklydigest.com/2012/02/articles/litiga...). "The retirees received an adverse ruling from the System Board, and, as they were expressly permitted to do both by the CBA and the System Board's decision, commenced an action in federal court under ERISA challenging the ruling. The federal district court for the Southern District of Texas dismissed the action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction and the Fifth Circuit affirmed.."

The pilots got screwed, in other words. Their pensions have been raided, looted by the usual suspects. This, on top of the insane sleep schedules being forced upon the pilots, is a recipe for disaster.

Bottom line? Don't fly United / Continental until the pilots get paid and well-rested

Personally, I won't fly United-Continental until I get word that their pilots are having their pensions restored and sleep requirements honored. To get on an airplane piloted by a sleepy-headed, angry pilot being screwed over by the company he works for is not my idea of a safe flight experience.

Although pilots are among the most psychologically balanced people in any profession (they undergo routine psych evaluations and physical exams), even they have a breaking point. What the airline is doing to these pilots amounts to a type of work torture. Sleep deprivation, after all, is a commonly-practiced torture technique. While not all the pilots are sleep-deprived on all flights, getting on one of these airplanes right now is a bit of a "Russian roulette" game in that you have no idea which pilot is awake and alert versus which pilot is suffering from dangerous sleep deprivation.

Steer clear of United-Continental until further notice.

And to the management of United-Continental, remember this: The pilots make or break an airline. If you piss off the pilots, they will drive your company into the dirt. If you keep the pilots happy, they will deliver a remarkable record of on-time flights, efficient turnarounds and happy experiences for customers. And as a bonus, they won't accidentally fly your precious hardware into a mountain or scatter passengers across a field somewhere, which is always a messy scene with lots of TV news coverage.

PRETTY WELL SUMS IT UP............

To All My Valued Employees,

There have been some rumblings around the office about the future of this company, and more specifically, your job. As you know, the economy has changed for the worse and presents many challenges. However, the good news is this: The economy doesn't pose a threat to your job. What does threaten your job however, is the changing political landscape in this country. Of course, as your employer, I am forbidden to tell you whom to vote for - it is against the law to discriminate based on political affiliation, race, creed, religion, etc. Please vote for who you think will serve your interests the best. However, let me tell you some little tidbits of fact which might help you decide what is in your best interest. First, while it is easy to spew rhetoric that casts employers against employees, you have to understand that for every business owner there is a back story. This back story is often neglected and overshadowed by what you see and hear.  Sure, you see me park my Mercedes outside.  You saw my big home at last year’s Christmas party. I'm sure all these flashy icons of luxury conjure up some idealized thoughts about my life. However, what you don't see is the back story. I started this company 12 years ago. At that time, I lived in a 300 square foot studio apartment for 3 years. My entire living space was converted into an office so I could put forth 100% effort into building a company, which by the way, would eventually employ you. My diet consisted of Ramen Pride noodles because every dollar I spent went back into this company. I drove a rusty Toyota Corolla with a defective transmission. I didn't have time to date. Often times, I stayed home on weekends, while my friends went out drinking and partying. In fact, I was married to my business -- hard work, discipline, and sacrifice. Meanwhile, my friends got jobs. They worked 40 hours a week and made a modest $50K a year and spent every dime they earned. They drove flashy cars and lived in expensive homes and wore fancy designer clothes.  Instead of hitting Nordstrom's for the latest hot fashion item, I was trolling through the Goodwill store extracting any clothing item that didn't look like it was birthed in the 70's. My friends refinanced their mortgages and lived a life of luxury. I, however, did not. I put my time, my money, and my life into a business --- with a vision that eventually, some day, I too, will be able to afford these luxuries my friends supposedly had. So, while you physically arrive at the office at 9 am, mentally check in at about noon, and then leave at 5 pm, I don't. There is no "off" button for me. When you leave the office, you are done and you have a weekend all to yourself.  I unfortunately do not have the freedom.  I eat, ****, and breathe this company every minute of the day. There is no rest. There is no weekend. There is no happy hour. Every day this business is attached to me like a 1 day old baby. You, of course, only see the fruits of that garden -- the nice house, the Mercedes, the vacations... You never realize the back story and the sacrifices I've made. Now, the economy is falling apart and I, the guy that made all the right decisions and saved his money, have to bail out all the people who didn't. The people that overspent their paychecks suddenly feel entitled to the same luxuries that I earned and sacrificed a decade of my life for.  Yes, business ownership has its benefits but the price I've paid is steep and not without wounds. Unfortunately, the cost of running this business, and employing you, is starting to eclipse the threshold of marginal benefit and let me tell you why: I am being taxed to death and the government thinks I don't pay enough. I have state taxes. Federal taxes. Property taxes. Sales and use taxes. Payroll taxes. Workers compensation taxes. Unemployment taxes. Taxes on taxes. I have to hire a tax man to manage all these taxes and then guess what?   I have to pay taxes for employing him. Government mandates and regulations and all the accounting that goes with it, now occupy most of my time. On Oct 15th, I wrote a check to the US Treasury for $288,000 for quarterly taxes.  You know what my "stimulus" check was? Zero. Nada. Zilch. The question I have is this: Who is stimulating the economy? Me, the guy who has provided 14 people good paying jobs and serves over 2,200,000 people per year with a flourishing business? Or, the single mother sitting at home pregnant with her fourth child waiting for her next welfare check? Obviously, government feels the latter is the economic stimulus of this country. The fact is, if I deducted (Read: Stole) 50% of your paycheck you'd quit and you wouldn't work here. I mean, why should you? That's nuts. Who wants to get rewarded only 50% of their hard work? Well, I agree which is why your job is in jeopardy. Here is what many of you don't understand .. to stimulate the economy you need to stimulate what runs the economy. Had suddenly government mandated to me that I didn't need to pay taxes, guess what?   Instead of depositing that $288,000 into the Washington black-hole, I would have spent it, hired more employees, and generated substantial economic growth. My employees would have enjoyed the wealth of that tax cut in the form of promotions and better salaries. But you can forget it now. When you have a comatose man on the verge of death, you don't defibrillate and shock his thumb thinking that will bring him back to life, do you? Or, do you defibrillate his heart?   Business is at the heart of America and always has been. To restart it, you must stimulate it, not kill it. Suddenly, the power brokers in Washington believe the mud of America are the essential drivers of the American economic engine. Nothing could be further from the truth and this is the type of change you can keep. So where am I going with all this? It's quite simple. If any new taxes are levied on me, or my company, my reaction will be swift and simple. I fire you. I fire your co-workers.   You can then plead with the government to pay for your mortgage, your SUV, and your child's future. Frankly, it isn't my problem anymore. Then, I will close this company down, move to another country, and retire. You see, I'm done. I'm done with a country that penalizes the productive and gives to the unproductive. My motivation to work and to provide jobs will be destroyed, and with it, will be my citizenship.  While tax cuts to 95% of America sounds great on paper, don't forget the back story: If there is no job, there is no income to tax. A tax cut on zero dollars is zero. So, when you make decision to vote, ask yourself, who understands the economics of business ownership and who doesn't?  Whose policies will endanger your job? Answer those questions and you should know who might be the one capable of saving your job. While the media wants to tell you "It's the economy Stupid" I'm telling you it isn't. If you lose your job, it won't be at the hands of the economy; it will be at the hands of a political hurricane that swept through this country, steamrolled the Constitution, and will have changed its landscape forever. If that happens, you can find me in the South Caribbean sitting on a beach, retired, and with no employees to worry about. Signed, Your boss, Michael A. Crowley, PE Crowley, Crisp & Associates, Inc.

”Lightworkers and Wayshowers -The Final Stretch”

The Civil War of 2016

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/aug/7/the-civil-war-of-2016/

EDITORIAL: The Civil War of 2016

U.S. military officers are told to plan to fight Americans

Illustration: Battle worn Tea Party by Greg Groesch for The Washington Times

Imagine Tea Party extremists seizing control of a South Carolina town and the Army being sent in to crush the rebellion. This farcical vision is now part of the discussion in professional military circles.

At issue is an article in the respected Small Wars Journal titled "Full Spectrum Operations in the Homeland: A 'Vision' of the Future." It was written by retired Army Col. Kevin Benson of the Army's University of Foreign Military and Cultural Studies at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., and Jennifer Weber, a Civil War expert at the University of Kansas. It posits an "extremist militia motivated by the goals of the 'tea party' movement" seizing control of Darlington, S.C., in 2016, "occupying City Hall, disbanding the city council and placing the mayor under house arrest." The rebels set up checkpoints on Interstate 95 and Interstate 20 looking for illegal aliens. It's a cartoonish and needlessly provocative scenario.

The article is a choppy patchwork of doctrinal jargon and liberal nightmare. The authors make a quasi-legal case for military action and then apply the Army's Operating Concept 2016-2028 to the situation. They write bloodlessly that "once it is put into play, Americans will expect the military to execute without pause and as professionally as if it were acting overseas." They claim that "the Army cannot disappoint the American people, especially in such a moment," not pausing to consider that using such efficient, deadly force against U.S. citizens would create a monumental political backlash and severely erode government legitimacy.

The vision is hard to take seriously. As retired Army Brig. Gen. Russell D. Howard, a former professor at West Point, observed earlier in his career, "I am a colonel, colonels write a lot of crazy stuff, but no one listens to colonels, so I don't see the problem." Twenty years ago, then-Air Force Lt. Col. Charles J. Dunlap Jr. created a stir with an article in Parameters titled "The Origins of the American Military Coup of 2012." It carried a disclaimer that the coup scenario was "purely a literary device intended to dramatize my concern over certain contemporary developments affecting the armed forces, and is emphatically not a prediction."

The scenario presented in Small Wars Journal isn't a literary device but an operational lay-down intended to present the rationale and mechanisms for Americans to fight Americans. Col. Benson and Ms. Weber contend, "Army officers are professionally obligated to consider the conduct of operations on U.S. soil." This is a dark, pessimistic and wrongheaded view of what military leaders should spend their time studying.

A professor at the Joint Forces Staff College was relieved of duty in June for uttering the heresy that the United States is at war with Islam. The Obama administration contended the professor had to be relieved because what he was teaching was not U.S. policy. Because there is no disclaimer attached to the Small Wars piece, it is fair to ask, at least in Col. Benson's case, whether his views reflect official policy regarding the use of U.S. military force against American citizens.

Farmers abandon fields larger than Belgium and Luxembourg, food prices set to surge due to drought

Farmers abandon fields larger than Belgium and Luxembourg, food prices set to surge due to drought

Farmers abandon fields larger than Belgium and Luxembourg, food prices set to surge due to drought

Madison Ruppert, Contributor
Activist Post

The worst drought in the United States in a half a century has led to the destruction of roughly one-sixth of the expected corn crop in America over the past month and will likely lead to a significant rise in the price of corn in the very near future.

To make matters even worse, much of the corn crop in the United States is genetically modified and thus susceptible to so-called “superbugs” and is the same strain which has been banned in multiple countries in the European Union.

This July has been the hottest in American history and has caused major damage to the corn crops throughout the United States making some farmers actually entirely abandon fields greater in size than the nations of Belgium and Luxembourg.

Obviously such a major reduction in the corn supply will certainly lead to a rise in the price of corn; it is simple economics. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like such a surge would diminish any time soon.

Even more unfortunate is the fact that corn is not the only commodity which will be negatively impacted by this drought and heat wave.

Soybeans – which like corn is used in a wide variety of food products, animal feed and other products – also has been hit hard by the weather. It is likely that it will be the worst harvest for five years now and will also likely impact the prices of other processed goods due to the rise in the price of vegetable oil, which just happens to be made from soy.

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is not taking this lightly and has already predicted record-shattering price increases.
Some of the largest manufacturers of food in the world including none other than Kraft, Nestle and Tyson, have already made it clear that they will ultimately pass the price increase on to customers, according to the British Daily Mail.
The USDA has also decreased their projection for corn production by a whopping 2.2 billion bushels since just last month. Now they are down to an expected production of 10.8 billion bushels although that number could go down as well if this situation does not improve.

“We’re going to see very high prices,” said Joseph Glauber, the USDA’s chief economist, to the Financial Times.

Even more troubling is the fact that this will certainly have international implications far beyond the rise in domestic food prices here in America.

Indeed, one might even say that it will likely lead to riots in impoverished nations where increased food prices make it impossible to feed oneself and one’s family.

For instance, in 2007 and 2008 alone there were riots in over 30 nations linked to high food costs, but one United Nations official claims we shouldn’t be worried about it.

 Jose Graziano da Silva, the director general of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, said that the current crisis isn’t as severe due to lowered demand from abroad.

“We do not have the demand pressure from China and India as five years ago,” he said.

I hope he is right, but unfortunately that assumption is based on believing that the drought and inhospitable weather will dissipate in the very near future, which is not necessarily true.

This is reinforced by the fact that the situation has actually been getting worse since the week starting July 29, when the USDA discovered that a whopping 48 percent of the nation’s corn crop could be classified as “poor” or “very poor.”

Furthermore, the USDA reported that 47 percent of the soybean crop was in “poor” or “very poor” condition.

These ratings are the worst we’ve seen since 1988 when a drought cut production by 20 percent and resulted in billions of dollars in losses.

The impact goes beyond just the price and supply of corn and soybeans. In fact, it also hurts the meat industry, because with food prices so high and with pastures used for grazing drying up due to the lack of water and heat, some are forced to bring their animals to slaughter earlier than they would normally.

The Obama administration at least appears to be attempting to help the situation by opening up protected American lands to farmers and ranchers for grazing.

They have also reportedly called on crop insurance companies to hold back from charging interest, and even engaged in an emergency loan program.

Farmers working in the 31 states where disaster areas have been declared have received low-interest emergency loans from the government as well.
Just how devastating this situation will eventually turn out to be and just how much the price of food will increase remains to be seen, but I think it is safe to say that whatever happens, it will not be all that great.

Banning freedom: Farmer fined for having birthday party

A farmer has recently drawn the ire of
county 'officials' for throwing a birthday
party and having pumpkin carvings.

Some control freak has now decided that
these types of events require a permit.

Some farmers are staging protests in
defense of their fellow farmer, and claim

What Happened On the Lions Gate Opening day?

What Happened On the Lions Gate Opening day? Elizabeth Trutwin

13 August 2012

 Message from Lord Ashtar through Elizabeth Trutwin August 8, 2012

Greetings Ground Crew ~ This is Ashtar from the New Jerusalem.

Many of you feel you sense changes today and high energies. You are right!

Today the Galactic Federation pulled off a plan that has been in the works a very long time. We used our technology in a way which is very rarely done. All the conditions lined up and made it possible.

We were able to use a kind of natural transducer device which opened an essentially unseen and very much unexpected entry into Earthʻs inner orbit. We have been able to add a very large number of large MotherShips into Earthʻs inner orbit by a transport route used very very seldom. This was facilitated by High Beings in cooperation with Ships Crew.  It was years in the planning and training. This procedure has lasted many hours and will go into the night. Ships are pouring in through this passage in great numbers and taking up their positions for change over.

Time is nearly over.

Today we see the passing of a great scientist who introduced cold fusion to your modern world. This is our technology and how nuclear energy was always supposed to be used. We use it this way in our technologies. We shared this science with him back then. His experiments were understood as very valuable because they were the answer to very inexpensive energy. If this was available then the cabal would not have been able to control the masses. The illuminati would not have been able to amass all the worlds wealth and push the middle class to the brink of starvation with threatened utility shut offs. His experiments, it was said, could never be duplicated. We never meant for the science to be used as weaponry. We watch this scenario from our Ships and we know change is ultimately up to you. No Dates. No Nukes. No Flukes. Change must come from within the matrix. We are helping you everyday in all the ways we can. We offer support to victims of natural disasters and war. We offer ecological support. We offer tectonic plate and other Gaia Shift mitigations. We offer counsel to heads of state.

There will be no major catastrophes.  We cannot change the moment which it ends.

You are soul - ey responsible for that. You took on that responsibility as soon as you took on a human suit and joined The Ground Crew.

So you look to the skies and yell Hurry Up!!!!

Ground Crew! Be Alert! Hear me: When it happens is up to YOU.

What do I mean by that?

We have done everything allowed by Cosmic Law to make ourselves ready to assist you in changeover. All we need from you is your permission as an invitation to reveal the Plan for us to return to Earth and set into motion those things Galactic Humans have  prepared for changeover.

Hold Your Vibrations High. Be In Love. Connect with us through Universal Love, the Supreme Love. Be in Ecstasy. Anticipate Change. Tell us and ask your friends to tell us - We Invite You, We Need Your Help To Change! We need you to Be The Change. We need you to not allow one second of lower vibration transmissions to give the cabal what they need to control your egoic mind.

If you find today that you are suffering in any way - know this. Suffering is brought upon yourself by not being dedicated to doing the inner work it takes to throw off your conditioning and be in touch with your true Divine Self. If you hold on to beliefs which keep you begging in poverty, keep you enslaved, keep you in bad relationships, bad jobs, bad situations - then you must change your beliefs! Let go. You are Ready! Just Let Go!

Invite the Galactics, Angels and Ascended Masters into your quiet time and allow us to Guide you in ending your suffering. Invite us into your Realm. Take Our Hand. Walk With Us.

All It Takes is the Acknowledgement that We Are Here by actually MAKING THE TIME.
Do it this now moment. Close your eyes and ask, for you must ask.

Absolute miracles have happened today. We have taken a Giant Leap in the sequential flow of changeover. Many souls were involved in todays activities and when you tune in you will see all that has taken place. Thank you for your part and participation. I SEE YOU.

Celebrate! Time grows short.

Salut! ~Lord Ashtar

Special Monday Night Drake Show: Are You on the Catastrophic or Positive Timeline?

Special Monday Night Drake Show: Are You on the Catastrophic or Positive Timeline?

·         The guest on the show is Alfred Webre III who is a futurist and is into the field of Exo-politics.

·         Drake shortly summarizes his Sunday 08/12/12 show where he discussed what actions a person could take in order to disconnect from our “matrix” installed by the powers that be. He offers certain techniques like “envisionment” and “creational powers” where an individual can use these techniques and apply it to our current world.

·         Drake discusses his encounter with a person who has ties with the movie called “The Matrix” he goes on to discuss the mechanics, where as it was a movie that focused on an established “matrix” or artificial reality where an individual embarks on a learning journey to discover life changing answers where everything is not as it seems.

·         Alfred mentions we currently live within an artificial construction within another artificial construction where we would call this a “Matrix”. Which is also described as something that is a “controlling frame work”.

·         Drake states there are ways to discover our “Matrix” where certain objects will stand out, some will also affect a person to a certain degree. Our current reality is almost like a computer hologram.

·         Alfred asks “how can we deconstruct this matrix? Drake answers that the way to deconstruct this matrix comes from an individual’s ability of control. There are several factors that tie into this scenario. Sometimes people experience the same thing over and over again, where as we expect a different outcome. By using “envisionment” you can re-create or change your future according to what the individual requires.

·         Alfred quotes Professor. Calhan from University of Washington, where this man has written about the Mayan Calendar. He believes that the Mayan calendar is something that follows the guideline of consciousness. He states that the universe is now broadcasting large waves of consciousness that is giving every individual on the planet to use such powers of envisioning, through intention create a reality we want.

·         Drake state’s by using envisionment we are exercising our divine powers given to us by our creator in order to change our future as well as the futures of others.

·         If you look at solid objects, every day experiences, when you look at the molecular level or modern physics, we are “full of holes”. It’s something we can’t necessarily see but we acknowledge it is present.

·         Alfred asks the question, “How can one go and create a vision?” or how would you know your full potential once you know you live within a Matrix?

·         Alfred talks about how President Obama was groomed in 1971 to be president, by a CIA time-travel related program in which they “saw him as president”.

·         Drake says sometimes there are things that happen that aren’t or shouldn’t happen a certain way. We have to levels of our mind a conscious and subconscious level. When we use “envisionment” it becomes a part of our subconscious, which imprints this on our conscious as puts it as a priority.

·         By using envisionment we have the ability to change many everyday factors as a means to alter and change our current paths. When using the powers given to us by our Creator. Some have decided to accept a system where we accept a greater power and its rules and guidelines. Some may call this a leap of faith. However once you master this envisionment process, you become creator beings where you can do things that you probably once thought were impossible.

·         Alfred asks, “can we co-create a vision of a positive timeline at this very moment until it manifests?” He asks the listeners to stop for the moment to envision our planet, free from genocide, wars, plagues, food shortages, etc. and to be given everything an individual needs to live a long sustainable life.

·         Drake talks about the apocalyptic predictions that are currently running rampant on the MSM. He asks the question, think about your children and what future you would like them to have? Try to envision a happy future, filled with “normalcy”, where we have leaders that operate within the law and not abuse it.

·         One must consider all of the possible apocalyptic scenarios, do you want destruction? Do you want a solar flare to strike? Do you want a nuclear war to break out? When we take a moment to see that these scenarios are not beneficial to humanity, we can envision it NOT happening. Through this you are in a position where you tap creational powers in which can adjust and completely change our future.

·         Every individual has a talent or experience and when we work together and not divided we can co-create a positive lifestyle for everyone. A Utopian society is possible; it just takes time, and the collective “envisionment” of humanity. We must pick a solid clear picture of the future, and do it until it manifests.

·         There are a degree of limitations; they are derived from the individual. When one sees strides and accomplishments, there are constant obstacles placed in our way as a means to keep us back. By using our creational powers we can surpass these boundaries.

·         Alfred states, “Aren’t we a holographic component of the source?” Drake answers it could be, but it falls into levels of society in which depending on the individual there are those who do believe in a higher entity, a creator, or source.

·         By using the power of envisionment, we have the ability to stay the same or alter our everyday life as a means to change and influence our future. What we experience as our current reality is not the only option. By placing a goal, envisioning it until it happens we break away from the mold of the Matrix.

·         Drake mentions the hoax called “Nibiru, Planet X, etc.” where is something that is a fabrication from TPTB. But if one takes a moment to look at what’s being circulated, when we look at its supposed trajectory, the numbers and path just don’t make sense. There have been numerous references of this being a rogue planet or a brown dwarf.

·         Alfred begins to talk about an article that will be published in November of this year. In it he talks about the catastrophic timeline being put out. He states that it’s a synthetic hologram environment that has been constructed by an advanced race of ET’s called the “Greys”. He quotes the Psychic Edgar Cayce reading where he talks about a large catastrophe. He talks about the remote viewers who’ve seen buildings like the (Sydney Opera House, US Govt which was underground somehow). He states that 2 Whistle Blowers, the Greys have created “SQE (Synthetic Quantum Environments) which would be mini-environments that would mimic a pass by of a brown dwarf and what the environment would like after such an event.

·         The Grey’s constructed this artificial hologram which resulted into about 3 trillion dollars from black budget money, into 174 or more Deep under Ground Military Bases (D.U.M.B.S) that would house the U.S government and the techno-crate elite.

·         The SQE is a psychological program which was placed upon humanity by this advanced race of ETs which most of the global governments have fallen for. It was a large global scale psy-ops.

·         The Greys are a race of ET’s that are not nice; they are sinister beings who have done this in other parts of the galaxy.

·         The Function of the SQE’s depending on the ability to override existing time-lines. It’s a holographic, open program in which the individual makes a decision to see certain events in their reality. There is about 13% of humanity who buy into this holographic program. About 39% or so do not buy into this, and fall in a positive timeline. 5-7% is in reality currently into this negative timeline. Much of the planet runs on a harmonic convergence frequency which runs at 5-9% frequency. When it’s combined they are placed together in a way that determines the outcome.

·         There are several controlling mechanisms or “veils” for example in Operation Looking Glass they saw a possible date as December 2012 where a flash of white light began, and they could not look any further. As a result of this project large quantities of power were used to operate the program which led to subsequent quake activity, project was later stopped.

·         There are also some ancient devices that have has similar functions, in our current world such devices have become smaller due to technical tweaks that have been applied.

·         Our current technology combined with the tech from the ET Greys can produce deadly catastrophic results.

·         Our Ancient’s knew about the capability to connect with the cosmos. They wanted an individual to understand the Mayan Calendar’s true meaning. The Calendar goes on until 2045, but officially it is stated it ends in 2012. The Mayans state a large shift is coming, which will begin in December 2012.

·         The Cabal along with the ET Greys has hijacked our past history of about (26,000 years) and have instilled moments of violence, tragedy, bloodshed, as a means to produce a negative time-line.

·         Drake states there is catastrophic or Non-Catastrophic timeline that we currently have. One that can be filled with love for the self, others, and the world. This will create a positive time-line. Some will choose a negative time-line filled with wars, famine, bloodshed, etc.

·         There are distinct differences between positive vs. negative time-lines. Because of the differences between every single individual, the outcome can be fundamentally different. As a species we have the ability to adapt or change our bad/negative habits. Our difference is that we have the ability to view and accept people or events in the positive only when we decide to live on a positive time-line. Here things begin to manifest, our envisioning when done right can produce things we desire.

·         We all have a choice whether to live in a positive or negative time-line. We have the ability to unplug from the distress, the ideological differences, the anger, the frustration. When we ignore our inner conscious, we have by choice placed ourselves on a negative time-line.

·         When you actively participate on a daily basis, using the power of “envisionment” you have the ability to change or alter your current path.

******* ½ through the show (6-7 Min Break)***************

·         Drake talks about the Bill of the Rights, or base rights which are “God Given” or given by our creator. He begins to discuss base principles that are fundamentally tied to the creator. He quotes that in Genesis 1:1 “You have the right to choose, to believe or not as you so choose.” When we deal with the present situations that are world-wide we begin to enter or fall on the negative time-line. We all have a freedom of choice, where we can also have the ability to experiment and try things which as an individual we have a hard time believing. 

·         If something is real, which is based on the acknowledgement and validity of the individual you can use the technique of envisionment can clearly work.

·         Currently there have been global instances where “Divine Intervention” where on David Wilcocks site (Divine Cosmos) has mentioned there have been nukes, weapons etc. that simply have been deactivated, disarmed, and deemed inoperable.

·         Alfred begins to talk about his experience in paro-psychology where it approaches such topics as God and Divinity or Divine beings. He talks about 7,000 cases where hypnotic regression techniques are documented where such cases revealed the process of human creation etc. These are such cases can be replicated with the right conditions. God/Source is described as a sea of light, and humans/beings are launched out as eggs of light. We become a holographic component of that light. Whereas a little part of the creator is within all of us. Through replicable science they’ve discovered we currently live in a “multi-verse” or a spiritual community where source and the inter-connection of souls where they connect.

·         He talks about that souls, angels, currently reside in the spiritual dimension, where is creating the exo-political dimension which has the ability to create a menu. Where in our current reality we have the ability to experience an existence where we can feel “soul development”. He believes the main purpose of the “multi-verse” is the ability to experience our current life style and processes.

·         He references Earth as Terra as a planet of work, pleasure. Through his findings, the study of God has produced we are all a part of God. As we live through our connective consciousness we are creator beings, maintaining creator powers.

·         Drake begins to talk about based on his information about ET’s perspective on reality. He states that at the moment all of the inhabitants of the planet have the ability to control the time-line. At present we are facing a decision, currently what we know of our reality is not exactly 100% clear. Our current reality is holographic in nature, just as the Matrix movie.

·         Drake begins to talk about different levels of ET’s his highest introduction was level 6 beings. Some beings who are level 8 are close to being creator status.

·         There are about 100 billion types of planets such as Earth that contain the same complex collection of species as on Earth. The Galaxy is undergoing constant expansion, based at a moderate rate.

·         Drake states, a person has a choice to make followed by the person has to act on the choice whether to be good or evil or the positive or negative time-line, there is no in between. We currently experience “duality” where we have the ability to learn several different experiences until we progress until the next level.

·         There are pending changes in which Earth will rise dimensionally from a 3^rd dimension to possibly a 4^th or 5^th Dimension. The change will not only be on earth, it’s the whole solar system. He describes this change as a “roller coaster ride”.

·         Alfred views this pending global/solar change as that the Draco Reptilian/Greys had plans to turn Earth and this whole entire solar system as another proxy to their Empire.

·         Alfred talks about another contact who is called “Tolec” who connects with an ET race who have formed a group called the “Andromeda Council” who talked about certain events that have passed, quakes in which have destroyed underwater and underground bases which were home to the evil Draco Reptilian/Grey ET races.

·         He talks about that starting Jan 1^st, 2014 the entire planet will be fully 4^th or 5^th dimensional. More information please look at the (Andromeda Council) website.

·         He states that the illuminati hierarchy is currently present with influences from the Annunaki an ancient ET race. They came into our history about 8,000 years ago in which they tampered with Human DNA. Now due to a rise of vibrational frequency, we are reestablishing ourselves, finding who we really are.

·         Ascension is all about re-discovering who we were, which is a process that begins to take place after December 2012. We are re-activating our suppressed DNA in which will open the flood gates of different dimensions. 

·         Drake talks about that when the shift occurs; the vibrational frequency begins to increase. We see a shift where Earth switches from a 3D world to a 4D or 5D planet. In order for us to progress we need a massive awakening.

·         Earth is considered a Key-stone planet, in which we become a focal point of the positive and negative time-line.

·         There are pending cosmic alignments in which it will transform the planet in a variety of ways. Alignments whether they are magnetic, gravitational or etc. have the ability to open communication with other ET beings.

·         There is information that is currently being withheld from the general populace that jeopardizes the current power system and will in effect give power to every individual on the planet.

·         At the present moment we are only using 3-7% of our current DNA. The rest has been officially classified as “junk” but we are currently activating this part of our DNA.

·         Drake close’s the show stating, acquire the knowledge to prepare for the massive pending changes that are coming. 

This a very good warning all AMERICANS to take notice.

Subject:  This a very good warning all AMERICANS to take notice.

Interesting, as a lady that lives by me on Hilltop is from Germany and she says she sees the very same as what this guy says ---  she was in school and watched him take over in 4 years control and esp army and the children so this guy isn’t just talking we need to be listening and trying to get everyone to listen  Pay special attention to  National Defense Resources Preparedness Order. 

Google it and read it.   Scary!       If you're a dyed in the wool. closed minded Obama supporter then delete this....or ME !! Could 2012 be our last election ?? Something to think about !!! Radio Talk Show Host, Michael Savage is saying it :    A Dictator in the making. Radical...maybe not? > I've asked this question to a number of people and most them respond as if I were crazy for asking. They tell me that this is America , land of the free and there will always be elections. I tell them that we are no longer the land of the free and that if Obama gets re-elected in 2012, that this just may be America 's last election. > In the past three years, the Obama administration has been very carefully crafting the nation for a political take over by his Marxist regime and this isn't just my opinion. Popular radio talk show host Michael Savage is the son of Russian immigrants and is very familiar with Soviet and European history. Savage warned his listeners this week saying, "I have to tell you that if this man, God forbid, is the next president of the United States , we're going to be living in something along the lines of - people say Europe . I don't believe it's going to be like Europe- I think it will be closer to Chavez's South American dictatorship. > "This is the most corrupt, incompetent, dangerous, tyrannical administration in American history. It's not politics as usual. It's not just Democrats versus Republicans. Obama has a long history of being at odds with American values and with America itself and the core principles of this country. They don't want government-sponsored opinions. They only want government-sponsored 'Pravda.' That's exactly what the government-media complex tells you on a daily basis - nothing but the government-media complex party line. Pay attention. Your freedom may be at stake." > Over the weekend, Rick Santorum told a small group of people in a coffee house that, "Barack Obama is not incompetent, ladies and gentleman. He knows exactly what he's doing and why he's doing it. He sees America differently than you see America . > [Obama] has gone out of his way to divide this country in a way I haven't seen since the Great Depression when Franklin Roosevelt went around to divide his country. What makes America great [in Obama's mind is that] the government takes money from somebody and gives it to somebody else. No, that's what makes America France." > With his control over the Executive and Judicial branches of the government, the stage is set for a complete takeover of the government. Think about it. > Since taking office, instead of helping the economy, Obama has purposely escalated the economic crisis by plunging the country into unprecedented debt. (The last thing a failing government does is to raid the treasury) He has a number of programs that are designed to go into effect in January 2013, just in time for his second term of office. The economic burden and increased taxes on everyone will be enough to cause the final economic collapse of the country. As soon as that happens, Obama declares Martial Law and assumes dictatorial control of the nation. > The Department of Justice has already been subverting federal laws to strip us of a number of freedoms. The Supreme Court and many of the other federal courts have been seeded with socialistic liberal judges that will rule in Obama's favor on virtually anything, thus ending constitutional rule and law. > He's already changing the face of America 's military. Allowing homosexuals to openly serve along with changing the retirement program is causing many conservative military leaders to resign commissions and leave the military. Some Pentagon officials are also noting that an increase in the enlistment of radical Muslims into the US military where they get all the training they need on weapons and defense systems. We have no idea how many of them there are in the armed forces or in what positions they may hold. > Obama has been wielding executive powers this past year as if he were already a dictator. When Congress is not doing his bidding, he simply bypasses them and used an executive order to accomplish it anyway. > March 16, 2012 President Barack Obama issued an Executive Order that authorizes peacetime martial law in the United States of America . The Executive Order is titled, National Defense Resources Preparedness Order. In effect that document gives full and complete control over the entire countries natural resources in case of a natural disaster or during a time of war. > Barack Obama granted to himself authority to approve the dispensing of all domestic energy, production, transportation, food, and water supplies as he deems necessary to protect national security. The document itself though is not limited to a time of war or even of that of a natural disaster. Rather the text of the document says that the President can invoke these powers for national defense in the “full spectrum of emergencies” (Sec 103a). This has set the stage for his disbandment of Congress. He would not be the first world leader to take control of a nation and disband the legislative branch of government. > He has been effectively using the media to anesthetize the public to the dangers he poses. Like a patient being prepped for surgery, people are numb to the changes and won't have a clue what took place until they wake up in recovery and realize that free America has been removed and replaced with a regime that may parallel those of Stalin, Lenin, Mussolini, Hitler, Chavez and Castro. > For the sake of our children and grandchildren, I earnestly pray that we are spared from what seems a certain future and that Obama is overwhelmingly defeated in 2012. Otherwise, heaven help us. PLEASE, PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO ALL YOUR E-MAIL LISTS!! OBAMA MUST BE DEFEATED IN 2012
