All the darkness in the world cannot put out the light of a single candle This site is designed to be simply a networking portal. This Knowledge Source site is not designed to convince anyone of anything. I will simply present links to information that can expand your horizons and allow you to be more effective in making a difference in our lives and world. Hopefully one of these sites, if not more, will truly inspire you. Check back often to see what new links have been added; then click and expand your mind. Just always be sure to keep an open mind without being a slave to all you hear. Each link will be preceded by a brief description of what it leads to.

Consider taking a moment and not rushing through these important links with lessons to be learned.. When we read or hear something powerful or which touches us deeply, the tendency in this modern world is to quickly move on to the next thing, to check that one off the list and continue without pause.

The invitation here is to break this pattern and spend a few moments in contemplation digesting whatever message these pieces might have for you. Consider stopping now and spending a few moments in quiet meditation. If one piece calls to you, go back and read it or watch it again to absorb any hidden wisdom you may have missed on the first pass.

Sometimes unwanted or unexpected challenges, difficult situations, and even pain can teach us important lessons that in the long run help us to more powerfully be the change in our world.

Love and intimacy are the root of what makes us sick and what makes us well. I am not aware of any other factor in medicine - not diet, not smoking, not exercise, not drugs - that has a greater impact on our quality of life, incidence of illness and premature death.

Quality of Life
Inspiring Ideas on Taking Responsibility for Our Lives
http://www.momentoflove.org/qualityoflife

Choosing a Quality Life

By choosing to see and inspire the creator not only in yourself, but in all you meet, you can create powerful transformation in your life and world. If you have spent a lot of time in victim mode, it may not be easy to make the shift, but it is entirely possible. By exploring your core issues and working to transform them, and by choosing to stop the need to place blame and instead take responsibility for your life, you can make the shift. There will most certainly be times where you slip back into old patterns. But by continually reminding yourself of your intention to be a creator, you can transform your life.
None of us is perfect. We all have made and will continue to make mistakes and bad choices in our lives. When we fail, there is no need to blame ourselves or anyone else. We can choose to simply accept that we didn't do what we had intended and then work to understand why, so that we might do better the next time. Notice when you find yourself blaming yourself or others. Then stop for a moment. Take a look inside and ask, is it really empowering you to place blame, even if you believe it is very well deserved? Is this the quality of life you want, or is there something better and more fulfilling?

The Secret Government:
The Constitution in Crisis
A PBS Documentary
Transcript: http://www.wanttoknow.info/050423secretgovernment
“The National Security Act of ‘47 gave us the National Security Council. Never have we had a National Security Council so concerned about the nation’s security that we’re always looking for threats and looking how to orchestrate our society to oppose those threats. National Security was invented, almost, in 1947, and now it has become the prime mover of everything we do as measured against something we invented in 1947."

“Look for the gifts in everything, especially when you are facing what appears to be a negative situation. Everything that we attract causes us to grow, which means that ultimately everything is for our own good.
Adjusting to a new path and a new direction will require new qualities and strengths, and these qualities are always exactly what we need to acquire in order to accomplish the great things ahead in our life.”

Health Cover-up Summary
"The combined profits for the ten drug companies in the Fortune 500 ($35.9 billion) were more than the profits for all the other 490 businesses put together ($33.7 billion) [in 2002]. Over the past two decades the pharmaceutical industry has moved very far from its original high purpose of discovering and producing useful new drugs. Now primarily a marketing machine to sell drugs of dubious benefit, this industry uses its wealth and power to co-opt every institution that might stand in its way, including the US Congress, the FDA, academic medical centers, and the medical profession itself."

Transform Fear Through Core Issue Work
Most of us have one or more core issues or challenges which surface repeatedly over the course of our lives. These issues are usually rooted in deep unexpressed fears. Depending on your perspective, core issues either cause all sorts of problems, or present many opportunities for transformation. When you choose to look at core issues as an opportunity, you are much more likely to transform your fears into learning tools which lead to a better life. Below are the most common core issues, their related fears, and suggestions for dealing with them.

Hidden Agendas of the
Military/Industrial Complex
“Information which for some may be disturbing and difficult to read and watch. If you are not familiar with this material, it can be like a journey down the bizarre rabbit hole in Alice in Wonderland or taking the red pill in the film The Matrix.’
“Remember that in order to take greater responsibility for our lives and be the change we want to see in our world, it is important to know at least the basics of what's going on behind the scenes. This information is offered to empower you and all of us to make a difference, and to be the change we want to see in the world.”

There is a vitality, a life force, an energy ... that is translated through you into action. There is only one you in all time. This expression is unique. If you block your unique expression, it will never exist through any other medium. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open.  ~  Martha Graham

Web of Love
The Web of Love is an energetic web which connects the sacred essence of all beings in our world. In that deepest part of our beings, there is in each of us a beautiful, divine essence which wants nothing more than to love and be loved. The Web of Love, though invisible to our eyes, interconnects all of us through that deepest essence. It literally surrounds and envelops our planet and all who live here. We are all interconnected through sacred love. It is up to each of us how much we choose to be aware of this connection.
We are all capable of giving and receiving limitless amounts of love. Many of us have forgotten this and ended up feeling alone or uncared for in our lives. The Web of Love reminds us of our true nature. It is a call to join together in sharing the abundance of love that flows within and between us all through consciously connecting with the web.

Major Government, Military Corruption
Trillions Missing at Defense Department
"'According to some estimates we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions,' Rumsfeld admitted. $2.3 trillion — that's $8,000 for every man, woman and child in America."

“The Dalai Lama's proclamation last year that "the world will be saved by the Western woman" only highlighted the reality that awakening women are emerging as the leaders of the global change movement.”
"The Keys to Feminine Power: Awakening the 3 Power Bases of the Co-Creative Feminine,"
“Never before have we, as women, been holding so much power to shape the future.
Paradoxically, studies show that we've never
been more unhappy.
Despite the amazing success and privilege we’ve gained over the past 50 years, numerous studies continue to reveal a startling truth: that women’s overall sense of happiness and well-being has actually been on a significant and steady decline since the early 1970s.
In fact, the majority of women today experience a profound and painful gap between the highest potentials we intuit for our lives and the way that our lives actually show up on a day to day basis.
We sense the possibility for so much more….
We’ve been cultivating a masculine version of power.
By wholeheartedly embracing a masculine version of power (that was so necessary to level the playing field 50 years ago), we’ve dramatically elevated our standard of living, while at the same time, severely diminishing our quality of life.
We now have more freedom, money, education and opportunity than any other generation of women in history. Yet we often feel powerless to create those things we most value and care about: love, intimacy, connection, belonging, creativity, self-expression, aliveness, meaning, purpose, contribution and a brighter future for generations to come.
We think our struggle to create these things we long for is a personal failure—but it’s actually a collective problem, symptomatic of our larger evolutionary journey as women. The restlessness we’re feeling is actually a critical calling, an impulse to evolve.
Awakening a new, co-creative feminine power holds the key to our personal and planetary potential”

The War On Waste
January 29, 2002, CBS News
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/01/29/eveningnews/main325985.shtml

On Sept. 10 [2001], Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld declared war. Not on foreign terrorists, "the adversary's closer to home. It's the Pentagon bureaucracy." He said money wasted by the military poses a serious threat. Rumsfeld promised change but the next day—Sept. 11—the world changed and in the rush to fund the war on terrorism, the war on waste seems to have been forgotten. President Bush announced, "my 2003 budget calls for more than $48 billion in new defense spending." More money for the Pentagon ... while its own auditors admit the military cannot account for 25 percent of what it spends."According to some estimates we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions," Rumsfeld admitted. $2.3 trillion—that's $8,000 for every man, woman and child in America. A former Marine turned whistle-blower is risking his job by speaking out ... about the millions he noticed were missing from one defense agency's balance sheets. Jim Minnery, Defense Finance and Accounting Service ... tried to follow the money trail, even crisscrossing the country looking for records. "The director looked at me and said 'Why do you care about this stuff?' It took me aback. My supervisor asking me why I care about doing a good job," said Minnery. He was reassigned and says officials then covered up the problem. The Pentagon's Inspector General "partially substantiated" several of Minnery's allegations.

Summary of 9/11 Research Compiled by Paul Thompson
http://www.wanttoknow.info/9-11timeline60pg#pnac

“To most people war is a supreme evil to be avoided if at all possible. And yet, we go right on having wars. To those who rule nations, war is a tool of power which is used deliberately. War provides the perfect excuse for a government to impose increased controls on its own people. By citing 'national security' the government can persuade the people that even highly dictatorial controls are for their own good.” - A quote from Peter Beter, appointed Counsel to the U.S. Export-Import Bank by John F. Kennedy

Turner broadcasting filmed a highly unusual documentary focused on the intriguing stories of five former CIA agents. Every one of these agents was originally excited to serve their country and promote the interests of the CIA and their government.
After many years of service at the agency, however, each of them could no longer deny the cold truth that the interests they were serving clearly were not those of the people of the United States. Watch the engaging 45-minute documentary Secrets of the CIA at the link below to learn more.

Insight Course: Lesson Four

Hidden Agendas of the
Military/Industrial Complex
Part Two of Two
The inforation provided here will take you into some rather dark, disturbing places which still exist in our world. How are you feeling right now with all this? Have you slipped back into feeling like a victim? And how did all of this secrecy and disregard for human life come to be? Why did we collectively allow this to happen? What can we do about it? These are not easy questions, yet ultimately we can remember the unlimited potential within us and the collective power we share when we come together to work for change.
http://www.insightcourse.net/lessons/04b_military_industrial_complex

It is important also to explore how we, as individuals, may have played a role in all this. Several questions deserve attention. How often do we avoid talking about or dealing with conflict in our own lives because we're afraid we might make matters worse? How often do we choose not to get involved in the conflicts around us because it's the easy way out?

A powerful poem by German pastor Martin Niemoeller on his choice not to act during World War II exemplifies how people succumbed to polarization propaganda.
First They Came
In Germany they came first for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.

Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,
and by that time no one was left to speak up.

When we see a friend or colleague making choices which may cause harm physically or emotionally, do we step up and offer wise counsel? It is our silence, avoidance, and lack of action that often allows conflict to grow and fester until finally, one day, we find ourselves facing a major battle which might have been avoided had we acted earlier.
Let us choose awareness now so that we can stop the destructive behavior and invite all of us, each in our own time, to move towards being the change. We can build the world we want to see. We can and will transform the need for war. Let us start by letting go of negative judgments and finding the places where each of us support the polarizing mentality of war inside of ourselves and in the world. Let us give love and forgiveness to these parts.

Our Deepest Fear
By Marianne Williamson

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness
That most frightens us.
We ask ourselves
Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small
Does not serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking
So that other people won't feel insecure around you.

We are all meant to shine,
As children do.
We were born to make manifest
The glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us;
It's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we're liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.

Note: This inspiring quote is taken from Marianne Williamson's book A Return to Love. Though often quoted as part of Nelson Mandela's moving inaugural speech, "Our Deepest Fear" does not appear in the speech. Marianne Williamson herself has commented on this mistaken attribution.

The Milgram Experiment, showed that the vast majority of ordinary citizens will inflict pain – sometimes even severe pain – on another person simply because they are ordered to do so by an authority figure. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milgram_experiment

A powerful poem by German pastor Martin Niemoeller on his choice not to act during World War II exemplifies how people succumbed to polarization propaganda.

First They Came

In Germany they came first for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.

Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,
and by that time no one was left to speak up.

This powerful message applies not only to the time of the Nazis. During the conscious campaign to exterminate Native Americans in the early days of the United States, many good Americans simply turned their heads and took no action to stop this destruction. During many other genocidal movements that have taken place around the world and continue to this day, good people have simply avoided talking and even thinking about the issue, thus allowing the massive violence and murders to continue unabated, or to escalate further.

The second, the famous Stanford Prison Experiment, arbitrarily divided normal middle-class young men into the polarized roles of prison guards and prisoners. The results of this disturbing experiment revealed that the young men put into the role of prison guards within days can become aggressive and even violent towards those assigned to play the role of prisoners.

Hidden Knowledge Course: Lesson 10
Beyond Duality and Polarization
“As mentioned in the previous lesson, every one of us has an abundance of energy within us. Yet it's important to acknowledge that we also all have the capability for destruction. There are ample examples of average people being involved in horrifying, destructive acts throughout history.”

http://www.hidden-knowledge.net/lessons/10a_beyond_duality_polarization

“Polarization leads to "us vs. them" ways of thinking. Divide and conquer is a tactic that has been used successfully by the power elite of the world for centuries. As long as people focus on blaming and attacking "the enemy," they are not likely to look for the deeper causes of their problems. Controlling factions of the power elite work to keep public and media attention focused on issues which divide us into two polarized camps, so that their greatest concerns of power and control go unnoticed. The power brokers then control both sides of the divided public by assuring

that corporate ownership of the media and key candidates from all political parties support their deeper power and polarization agendas, which often involve war profiteering” . -   taken from “Building a Brighter Future” - http://www.wanttoknow.info/brighterfuture

The Story of Bottled Water: Fear, Manufactured Demand and a $10,000 Sandwich
By Annie Leonard for the Huffington Post
Imagine I was trying to sell you a sandwich. It’s shrink wrapped in plastic that may leach toxic chemicals, but don’t worry about that. Mine’s still healthier than a sandwich you could make at home, what with all those impurities in your fridge. Now, I’ve got no proof of that, and actually, some people have tested my sandwiches and found that sometimes they have more bad stuff in them than the ones from your own kitchen. But never mind that. Mine’s more convenient. Tastes better too. I swear.

So here you go: one plastic-wrapped, waste-producing sandwich that isn’t any healthier and doesn’t taste any better than the one from your own kitchen. That’ll be $10,000, please.

That preposterous pitch is the truth behind the marketing campaigns that turned bottled water into a $5 billion-a-year industry in the United States alone. Today is World Water Day–a good day to pause and consider the insanity of a global economy where 1 billion people lack access to safe drinking water while other people spend billions on a bottled product that’s no cleaner, harms people and the environment and costs up to 2,000 times the price of tap water.

To mark the occasion, I’m joining with a bunch of North America’s leading environmental groups to release our new film: The Story of Bottled Water. It’s a seven-minute animated film that, like The Story of Stuff, uses simple images and words to explain a complex problem caused by what I call the ‘take-make-waste’ economy. In this case, we explain how you get Americans to buy half a billion bottles of water a week when most can get it almost free from the tap in their kitchen.
The answer, of course, is you manufacture demand–make people think they need to spend money on something they don’t actually need or already have.

In the last few decades, Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Nestle and other big beverage companies have spent untold millions making us afraid of tap water. They’ve told us that if we want to be sure what we drink is pure and clean–not to mention hip and fashionable–we should buy bottled water. After all, nobody cool or environmentally conscious drinks tap water, right?

The thing is, there are a lot of inconvenient truths the bottled water ads don’t mention:
• Bottled water is subject to fewer health regulations than tap water. In 2006, Fiji Water ran ads bragging that their product doesn’t come from Cleveland, only to have tests show a glass of Fiji water is lower quality than Cleveland tap. Oops!
• Up to 40 percent of bottled water is filtered tap water. In other words, if you’re concerned about what’s in your tap water, just cut out the middleman and buy a home water filter.
• Each year, according to the Pacific Institute’s Peter Gleick, making the plastic water bottles used in the U.S. takes enough oil and energy to fuel a million cars. And that doesn’t even include the fuel required to ship, fly or truck water across continents and state lines.

In Black Money, Frontline correspondent Lowell Bergman investigates this shadowy side of international business, shedding light on multinational companies that have routinely made secret payments — often referred to as “black money” — to win billions in business. “The thing about black money is you can claim it’s being used for all kinds of things,” the British reporter David Leigh tells Bergman. “You get pots of black money that nobody sees, nobody has to account for, … you can do anything you like with. Mostly what happens with black money is people steal it because they can.”
Leigh knows. In his groundbreaking reporting for The Guardian newspaper, he helped uncover one of the biggest and most complicated cases currently under investigation — a story involving a British aerospace giant, the Saudi royal family, and an $80 billion international arms deal known as Al Yamamah, or “The Dove” in Arabic. “If there was one person who was the main man behind this arms deal, it turned out it was the U.S. ambassador, Prince Bandar bin Sultan,” says Leigh.

It all started back in 1985, when the charismatic Prince Bandar was put in charge of acquiring new fighter jets for the Saudi Arabian air force. The Israeli lobby in Congress reportedly stood in the way of the United States making a deal with the Saudis, so President Ronald Reagan sent Bandar to the British. The prince approached a willing Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, and they sealed the massive deal between the United Kingdom, BAE Systems (formerly British Aerospace) and the Royal Saudi Air Force.

Rumors swirled that billions in bribes had changed hands to secure the deal, but British officials denied wrongdoing. “Of course there is suspicion, and of course people are entitled to be suspicious,” says Lord Timothy Bell, who was involved in the deal from the beginning on behalf of the Thatcher government. “But as far as I’m concerned, if the British government … and the Saudi government reached a sovereign agreement over an arms contract that resulted in a

tremendous number of jobs in Britain, a great deal of wealth creation in Britain, … and enabled Saudi Arabians to defend themselves, … I think that’s a jolly good contract.”

Hidden Knowledge Course: Lesson Nine

Suppressed Energy Inventions

Quantum scientists are finding that all of space is filled with electromagnetic zero-point fluctuations creating a universal sea of zero-point energy. Some pioneering scientists claim that once we learn how to tap into this infinite sea, energy will be almost as easily obtained as the air we breathe.

No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings. Man's reason and spirit have often solved the seemingly unsolvable – and we believe they can do it again.

There is a vitality, a life force, an energy ... that is translated through you into action. There is only one you in all time. This expression is unique. If you block your unique expression, it will never exist through any other medium. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open.  ~  Martha Graham

New Energy Sources and Inventions
In the late 1880's, trade journals in the electrical sciences were predicting "free electricity" in the near future. Incredible discoveries about the nature of electricity were becoming commonplace. Within 20 years, there would be automobiles, airplanes, movies, recorded music, telephones, radio, and practical cameras. For the first time in history, common people were encouraged to envision a utopian future filled with abundant modern transportation and communication, as well as jobs, housing and food for everyone. So what happened? Where did the new energy breakthroughs go? Was this excitement about free electricity all just wishful thinking that science eventually disproved?

Toward Divine Wisdom and Understanding

Shifting Paradigms
“The wisdom and understanding of our own divine essence is like a beacon that invites us inward toward ever deeper connection with all around us. Yet rather than look within, most in this world prefer to look outward for divine wisdom, thus sustaining a dependence upon a vast hierarchy that stretches between the individual and the Divine. In all our wanderings away from the Divine, humankind has obscured its most compelling features through a persistent belief in limitations arising out of the controlling mechanisms of this hierarchy.” – to continue reading go to:

Please note that I do not necessarily agree with everything presented in the links I’ve provided here but try to provide as much information as I can on each selected subject. I simply believe that it’s good to have an open mind but that we are each capable of reading something and evaluating it for ourselves - no one can, nor should, tell you what to believe or think – leave what you do not regard as truth back on the pages where you found it (simply ignore it) and take only from what you read or see that you feel is truth --- take only what you need. That's what I do. I do believe that if you evaluate what is written, however, without pre-conceived judgment you may find some things that speak to you.

Now that we've gone through the usual first few paragraphs, let me tell you to dig out your tin foil hats again, as our foil hat links are even stranger this posting that last. And once again, I will be providing many great tin foil hat pictures throughout the entire page. Thanks to everyone who sent me tin foil hat pictures. I've tried to include as many of the best and funniest as I could cram in. Enjoy.

Before we begin our stranger encounters, I’ve provided some very fine links that are mind, heart and soul expanding. I’ve, as usual, also included more of them throughout the posting between the stranger links. Consider taking a moment and not rushing through those of these important links which catch your eye as they have great lessons to be learned. When we read or hear something powerful or which touches us deeply, the tendency in this modern world is to quickly move on to the next thing, to check that one off the list and continue without pause.
The invitation here is to break this pattern and spend a few moments in contemplation digesting whatever message these pieces might have for you. If one piece calls to you, go back and read it or watch it again to absorb any hidden wisdom you may have missed on the first pass.

If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds,

Hidden Knowledge Course: Lesson 10

Beyond Duality and Polarization
“In terms of money, we are divided into rich and poor. In terms of sexuality we are divided into male and female. Our lives are filled with these and many other dualities. These dualities can easily lead to a polarization of beliefs and lifestyles. Once large groups of people become strongly polarized against each other, it becomes easy for those supporting one end of the polarization to justify hatred, killing, and even war against the other. Yet is this what we really want?”

The upcoming links on this post will lead you to UFO information for the most part. While researching this topic …thanks to the request of a friend, and you know who you are, I watched UFO documentaries, and read so much on the topic that I think I’ve convinced myself … lol.   I’ve at least convinced myself that there is something more … whatever it is. What I’ve tried to include here is a small piece of my research … who knew there was so much … and you can skim through to decide what is of interest to you. Most links themselves also have other links to other sites on their site so who knows where it will lead you. I know there is so much information out there on this topic that I could have researched forever.
PLEASE NOTE: I FEEL A RESPONSIBILITY HERE TO NOTE THAT I ALSO CAME ACROSS MUCH THAT SUGEESTED THAT THERE IS A LARGE FOLLOWING OUT THERE THAT BELIEVE THAT THE DISCOVERIES OF THE PAST ONLY PROVES THAT MANKIND WAS ONCE AS ADVANCED, AND EVEN MORE SO THAN, WE ARE TODAY … AND THAT WE DISTROYED OUR WORLD AND HAD TO BEGIN AGAIN. MANY OF THESE GROUPS ALSO BELIEVE THAT THE GOVERNMENT WANT US TO BELIEVE IN UFOs IN ORDER TO PERPETUATE A FALSE BELIEVE THAT WILL ENABLE THEM TO CONTROL US IN THE FUTURE USING THIS PLANTED BELIEF TO PULL THE WOOL OVER OUR EYES SO TO SPEAK … BUT THAT IS FOR ANOTHER POSTING.

UFO Facts and a Solution to the Energy Crisis
Testimony of 60 Government & Military Witnesses
This 10-page summary of witness testimony on UFO facts is taken from the book Disclosure, compiled by Steven M. Greer, MD. Page numbers from the book for each excerpt are given at the end of each statement. These testimonies were taken verbatim from video interviews with the witnesses, which include astronauts, generals, admirals, other top government and military officials. Both the book and witness videos can be purchased at the websitewww.disclosureproject.org.
http://www.wanttoknow.info/ufocover-up10pg
For a two-page summary of these UFO facts, click here.
As we consider these videos, recorded information, and recorded testimonials, we should, in all fairness, keep an open mind; however, at the same time, we must exercise our intelligence. Things are not always what they seem.

It is a good thing to look down at the tidepools, then up to the stars, then back to the tide-pools again.

This is a very interesting, factual, information that shows to what extend ordinary people can be made to do terrible things.

The Milgram Experiment, showed that the vast majority of ordinary citizens will inflict pain – sometimes even severe pain – on another person simply because they are ordered to do so by an authority figure.

I thought that this first video would be the best to begin with as it begins in the past. It was also the most fully documented and verifiable information I’ve found in this research task.
Mysterious World: Search for Ancient Technology
In the United States, Erich von Daniken won instant fame as a result of the television special “In Search of Ancient Astronauts,” based upon his first book. In 1993, the German television station SAT-1 started a twenty-five part TV series with and by Erich von Daniken, entitled “Auf den Spuren der All-Machtigen” (Pathways of the Gods). In 1996, the American TV company ABC/Kane produced a one-hour special, filmed all over the world, entitled Chariots of the Gods – The Mysteries Continue.
This film was broadcast on the ABC network on September 26th 1996. In 1996/97 ABC/Kane produced another documentary with Erich von Daniken (seen on the Discovery Channel). In Germany, the biggest TV network, RTL, showed the film on November 26th, 1996. 7,7 million viewers in Germany alone watched the program. Today, Erich von Daniken continues his filming with ABC and RTL.

"I" Am The "I"
http://www.hooponoponotheamericas.org/i-am-the-i.htm

Hosted by Peter Jennings, this is one of the best documentaries on the UFO subject that I’ve come across as it included the skeptics as well as the believers, as well as very reluctant observers who say what they saw but will not admit that they think it was a UFO including police officers responding to calls. Also includes testimony that the crash material (foil, pink, squiggle marks) at Roswell was actually the type of weather balloon being used at that time.

Paranormal: Seeing Is Believing

This two-hour primetime special reports on the entire scope of the UFO experience — from the first famous sighting by Kenneth Arnold in 1947 to the present day.
The program draws on interviews with police officers, pilots, military personnel, scientists and ordinary citizens who give extraordinary accounts of encounters with the unexplained.
Also included are the voices of professional skeptics about UFOs, including scientists who are leading the search for life forms beyond Earth elsewhere in the universe.
The program explores the facts behind the enduring mystery of the incident at Roswell, N.M., and looks into the strange stories of alien abductions.

Hidden Knowledge Course: Lesson Four
Universal Connections
The UFO Question
“It is time for the truth to be brought out in open Congressional hearings. Behind the scenes, high-ranking Air Force officers are soberly concerned about UFOs. But through official secrecy and ridicule, citizens are led to believe the unknown flying objects are nonsense. To hide the facts, the Air Force has silenced its personnel.”
   ~   Roscoe H. Hillenkoetter, former CIA chief in New York Times on Feb. 28,1960

It would be arrogant to think that humans are the only intelligent life in the universe - not to mention lonely. In fact, if the universe is billions of years old, it's conceivable that there are many beings even in this galaxy who are at least millions of years in advance of us technologically.

Did you know that the former head of the CIA in the U.S. and the former chief of the Ministry of Defense in the U.K. have publicly called for a serious investigation into the presence of UFOs in our world? And a former Canadian Minister of Defence has recently joined them. Why did these calls get so little attention in the media?

I Believe In UFOs
Danny Dyer goes on a quest to spot a UFO, spurred on by a meeting with his boyhood hero Sir Patrick Moore.
Danny examines reported UFO landing sites and the sinister evidence that aliens may have been conducting scientific experiments here in Britain.
He meets witnesses who claim to have seen UFOs and one man who says he can prove he’s been abducted by aliens.
Danny’s search for his own close encounter takes him all the way to the UFO Research Centre in Portland, Oregon.

Some of this is very funny. Also be aware that Mr. Dyer uses the F-word often thoughout the documentary to express himself. The whole documentary is very good paced, entertaining and captures your attention to the point where the whole documentary just flies by. You can be the judge of the evidence. Some of it I found totally … well just funny; however, there were some pieces of evidence like with the analysis of the wheat from the crop circles that was that was very convincing.

INTELLIGENT DESIGN – A MESSAGE FROM THE DESIGNERS
First book in the whole series, best to read this book first.
Free eBook that you can download and read
The following is what is listed about the book:

”Years ago, everybody knew that the earth was flat. Everybody knew that the sun revolved around the earth. Today, everybody knows that life on earth is either the result of random evolution or the work of a supernatural God. Or is it? In “Message from the Designers”, Rael presents us with a third option: that all life on earth was created by advanced scientists from another world. During a UFO encounter in 1973, he was given the first of a series of messages, face to face, by one of these designers.
Those messages now lie within the pages of this book - an astonishing revelation for mankind.
Please note: This new edition is a combination of the 2 books previously released as "The Message Given by Extra-terrestrials" and "Lets Welcome the Extra-terrestrials". The printed version (paperback and hardcover, available from Amazon.com) contains photos not found in this e-book.”

To open this file, and read, print or save it, you will need Adobe Acrobat version 5 or higher

(Once again – you be the judge. I just wanted to include a bit on every angle about UFOs that was out there; and I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinion.)

NOTE: This video is put on the web by MegaVideo. You can watch the full documentary now but first: (Please read FAQ No.10 before watching. Simply click on purple to read a very short explanation from MegaVideo)

Videos hosted on MegaVideo have a time limit because they are having a tough time covering their bandwidth costs. Therefore, they had to come up with a solution for making some money. On top of the pop-up ads that they have on their videos, they will also limit the users of some regions to a time limit. This will show a message to the user that “you must purchase a premium plan” after 72 minutes (sometimes 54 minutes) of watching a video. However, after this message, you can wait around 1 to 3 hours (depending where you’re located) and then resume watching the remainder without joining up. This way they can control the traffic and the bandwidth that their website consumes.
Also note that with MegaVideo a page will open to a poker site (a sponsor). Simply close this site and click on the play button for the video to begin. Despite these little inconvenience, this documentary is very well worth it.

SYNCHRONICITY
THE BRIDGE BETWEEN MATTER AND MIND
by F. DAVID PEAT PhD
The true story of synchronicity begins with the collaboration of two remarkable thinkers, the psychologist Carl Jung and the physicist Wolfgang Pauli. Their concept of synchronicity originated in a marriage between the approaches of physics and psychology. Jung writes, "In writing this paper I have, so to speak, made good a promise which for many years I lacked the courage to fulfill. The difficulties of the problem and its representation seemed to me too great...If I have now conquered my hesitation and at last come to grips with the theme it is chiefly because my experiences of the phenomenon of synchronicity have multiplied themselves over the decades". "Meaningful coincidences are unthinkable as pure chance--the more they multiply and the greater and more exact the correspondence is...they can no longer be regarded as pure chance, but, for the lack of a causal explanation, have to be thought of as meaningful arrangements."

All the darkness in the world cannot put out the light of a single candle

This site is designed to be simply a networking portal. This Knowledge Source site is not designed to convince anyone of anything. I will simply present links to information that can expand your horizons and allow you to be more effective in making a difference in our lives and world.

Hopefully one of these sites, if not more, will truly inspire you.

Check back often to see what new links have been added; then click and expand your mind. Just always be sure to keep an open mind without being a slave to all you hear.

Each link will be preceded by a brief description of what it leads to.

Please note that I do not necessarily agree with everything presented in the links I’ve provided here but try to provide as much information as I can on each selected subject. I simply believe that it’s good to have an open mind but that we are each capable of reading something and evaluating it for ourselves - no one can, nor should, tell you what to believe or think – leave what you do not regard as truth back on the pages where you found it (simply ignore it) and take only from what you read or see that you feel is truth --- take only what you need. That's what I do. I do believe that if you evaluate what is written, however, without pre-conceived judgment you may find some things that speak to you.

Having said that, let me say that this posting has some real strange links ... so get out your tin aluminum foil hats. Speaking of which, you'll find some great looking tin foil hats throughout the entire page. Sorry I couldn't post all the foil hat pictures I had but I tried to choose the best and funniest.

This is a great documentary. HAARP has been a controversy for many years now.

Holes In Heaven? HAARP and Advances in Tesla Technology

The late Carl Sagan said (which is related to this documentary) “We’ve arranged a global civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology. We’ve also arranged things so that almost no one understands science or technology. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later, this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces”. This documentary film poses the question: Are we making Holes in Heaven? HAARP (High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program) is a controversial high frequency radio transmitter, or “ionospheric heater,” which is believed to be descended from the works of Nikola Tesla and is operated by the U.S. Navy/Air Force and Phillip Laboratories in remote Gakona, Alaska.

Using HAARP, the military can focus a billion-watt pulsed radio beam into our upper atmosphere, ostensibly for ionospheric research. This procedure will form extremely low frequency waves and send them back to the Earth, enhancing communications with submarines and allowing us to “see” into the Earth, detecting anything from oil reserves to underground missile silos.

However, several researchers claim HAARP poses many dangers, including blowing thirty-mile holes in the Earth’s upper atmosphere. They also warn of possible disruption of the subtle magnetic energies of our Earth and ourselves. Holes in Heaven? is a prime example of grassroots filmmaking by producer Paula Randol-Smith and Emmy-winning director Wendy Robbins. Narrated by Martin Sheen, the documentary, investigates HAARP, its history and implications, and examines the dangers and benefits of high and low frequencies and of electromagnetic technology.

Approximately 51 minutes.

Seriously, it’s funny how we can always look back and find the evidence but no one in government is ever held accountable. People keep paying taxes for corrupt governments to torture and hurt people in order to put huge, unimaginable amounts of money into the pockets of the elite. They appear to not care about anyone … not the victims, nor the their own soldiers that they send off into harms way. Somewhere along the way, our leaders seem to have lost their way. This is a long documentary but we owe the victims at least our attention to watch it. If you cannot watch the full documentary, please watch the last half or even last third … if you don’t have time for the last third … please at least watch the last five minutes where thirsty little children are being taunted by US soldiers holding out bottled water to taunt.

The New American Century

This documentary film goes in detail through the untold history of The Project for the New American Century with tons of archival footage and connects it right into the present.

It exposes how every major war in US history was based on a complete fraud with video of insiders themselves admitting it. This film shows how the first film theaters in the US were used over a hundred years ago to broadcast propaganda to rile the American people into the Spanish-American War.

It film shows the white papers of the oil company Unocal which called for the creation of a pipeline through Afghanistan and how their exact needs were fulfilled through the US invasion of Afghanistan.

This documentary shows how Halliburton under their “cost plus” exclusive contract with the US Government went on a mad dash spending spree akin to something out of the movie Brewster’s Millions, yet instead of blowing $30 million they blew through BILLIONS by literally burning millions of dollars worth of hundred thousand dollar cars and trucks if they had so much as a flat tire.

Hidden Knowledge Course: Lesson Eight

Government Mind Control Programs

“Are you ready for another wild trip down the rabbit hole? Now that we have explored our own deepest personal challenges, it is time to explore what is possibly the deepest challenge facing our planet.”

http://www.hidden-knowledge.net/lessons/08a_mind_control

“Some people would rather not know the many potentially disturbing facts about secret mind control programs used to manipulate people and politics around the world. Yet when we collectively choose not to know, those who are abusing these technologies are given free rein to explore further and to cause serious manipulations which lead to even more fear and polarization in our world.” - Hidden Knowledge Course: Lesson Eight

We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.

The Secrets of Mind Control

Building a Brighter Future

All the darkness of the world cannot put out the light of a single candle.
The Current Situation
“Together, we can and will build a brighter future. Yet in order to give meaningful suggestions for this, we first need to speak candidly about what's happening in the world at present. It appears that there are factions within the world's power elite which desire to exert as much control as possible over the world. Their primary means for establishing control are through promoting fear, secrecy, and polarization, and through distracting people from their deeper purpose in life. When these factions gain greater power and control, our freedoms and liberties are increasingly taken away, sometimes without our even realizing it.” … (to continue reading go to : http://www.wanttoknow.info/brighterfuture

Towards a Brighter Future
What can we do about all this? Ultimately, it is the collective fear, secrecy, polarization, and loss of purpose within all of us that has allowed leaders to take power who would subvert democracy, and who would take away our freedoms and liberties. By each one of us making a commitment to work on these issues both inside of ourselves and out in the world – and to inspire others to do the same – we can change our collective direction and build a solid foundation for a brighter future. Several actions can help us to take firm steps in that direction.

Mind Control Techniques Used to Control Politicians

“One way in which the power elite are able to maintain a high degree of political and economic control over the world is to gain power over key politicians and other highly influential individuals. The principle means used to accomplish this objective is to develop blackmail on these key individuals that can be used whenever they might stray too far from the agendas of the elite.” – Hidden Knowledge – Lesson 8 - http://www.hidden-knowledge.net/lessons/08b_mind_control

Please take note that many of the sites I refer to use the term "the Divine." This is only in order to include everyone regardless of your belief system.

Please also remember that I do not necessarily agree with every single thing presented here but with much of it. We are all adults and all capable of reading something without it brain-washing us completely. I simply believe that we should all have open minds but that we are each capable of reading something and evaluating it for ourselves - no one can, nor should, tell you what to believe or think – leave what you do not regard as truth back on the pages where you found it (simply ignore it) and take only from what you read or see that you feel is truth --- take only what you need.  That's what I do.

I believe that if you evaluate what is written without pre-conceived judgment you will find things that speak to you.   We don't have to change our basic beliefs to unit as a people on the issues that we do believe in together.

”A final subtle, yet powerful method of gaining control is to distract people from their purpose in life. Consider that television, radio, and movies have been filled with ever more greed, violence, and empty sex. Our educational system has increasingly prioritized passing tests over developing intelligence and creativity. Excessive corporate control of the media has limited what news we receive, and often shaped our decisions and the way we think.Our attention has been subtly diverted from our deeper purpose in life to the more superficial attractions of sex, consumerism, and money.” - Building a Brighter Future - http://www.wanttoknow.info/brighterfuture

If money be not thy servant, it will be thy master.
The covetous man cannot so properly be said to possess wealth,
as that may be said to possess him.
Francis Bacon

“The most common misconception people have about money is the belief that if they had more money they would be more happy. Yet this is often not the case. In the poorest villages you can sometimes find the most happy people, while some of the richest people on the planet are the least content and most tormented. It is not how much money we have that determines our happiness in life, but rather how satisfied we are with what we've got.” - The Hidden Knowledge Course, Lesson 6, Part 2, http://www.hidden-knowledge.net/lessons/06b_money_matters

Money and the Banking Cover-up

“Considering the huge role it plays in our lives, we are taught very little about money or the financial system in our many years of education. Very few schools, for instance, ever teach students the risk of going deep into credit card debt. Very few college graduates have been taught about the role of money and banking in the development of civilization or even in our current world.”

“Secrecy leads to control through preventing the exposure of hidden agendas, and through breeding distrust, suspicion, and paranoia in the world. In the name of "national security," we have been told ever more frequently that we should not know what is happening behind closed doors in government. Yet we are encouraged to keep vigilant watch over our neighbors, over those who question the government, and over those who look or act different from us, as they could secretly be terrorists in sheep's clothing. Rampant suspicion and secrecy cause us to lose touch with the common humanity we share with all around us.” - Building a Brighter Future - http://www.wanttoknow.info/brighterfuture

Beyond Us Vs. Them
“Let us do all that we can to stop destructive behavior, yet let us remember that making others bad or evil only promotes more conflict and polarization in our world. By stepping out of the "us vs. them" way of thinking and trying to understand those we might oppose, we can create a new paradigm where negative behavior has clear consequences, yet the core humanity of everyone is acknowledged and honored.” - Hidden Knowledge Course: Lesson Five

“When we enter the domain of money, there often seems to be a disconnect from the soulful person we have known ourselves to be. It is as if we are suddenly transported to a different playing field where all the rules have changed. In the grip of money, those wonderful qualities of soul seem to be less available. We become smaller. We scramble or race to “get what’s ours.” We often grow selfish, greedy, petty, fearful, or controlling, or sometimes confused, conflicted or guilty. We see ourselves as winners or losers, powerful or helpless, and we let those labels deeply define us in ways that are inaccurate, as if financial wealth and control indicate innate superiority, and lack of them suggests a lack of worth or basic human potential. Visions of possibility dissolve. We become wary and mistrusting, protective of our little piece, or helpless and hopeless. We sometimes feel driven to behave in ways inconsistent with our core values, and unable to act differently.” - BOOK Excerpt from The Soul of Money by Lynne Twists – to read the full excerpt go to:

The following two fact-filled documentaries have been given a very rare rating of five out of five stars by Google Video viewers. These films, though they have some weaknesses and exaggeration, do an excellent job of introducing and educating viewers to key, little-known facts which impact our global economy and politics. You are encouraged to have a healthy skepticism of what is presented, yet also to have an open mind to the possibility that much of what is presented is based on verifiable evidence.

Deepak Chopra Recommends The Soul of Money

“This is the right book at the right time. Lynne Twist provides a unique, intelligent, and soul-centered look at how we can release the burden of having or not having money. She brings inspiration and possibility to an area of life that most of us believe is

unchangeable. To anyone who wants to transform their lives and the world, I give this book my highest recommendation.” - Deepak Chopra, MD

Our blind spots in dealing with money have allowed major manipulations to occur unbeknownst to the public. Clearly, this little-known information has had a dramatic impact on matters such as the distribution of wealth and government debt in our world.

Though we can work to change this by educating others on these important matters and doing our best to change the system, possibly the most powerful thing we can do in
this regard is to take a look at our own lives and explore where we are not in full integrity with money. The below brief excerpt beautifully explores the relationship between matters of the soul and matters of finance.

Super Rich: The Greed Game
As the credit crunch bites and a global economic crisis threatens, Robert Peston reveals how the super-rich have made their fortunes, and the rest of us are picking up the bill.

Robert Peston, the BBC’s Business Editor, speaks to some of the heavy hitters in hedge-fund and private equity scene. Along with the investment bankers, these are the very people who have been blamed for the current financial woe’s of the world.

The film highlights the act that these very few people have become super rich, and while the global economy is collapsing around us, they get to sail off into the sunset, with bulging pockets, to lay back, and wait for the next set of opportunities that will come along.
Which, ironically, will probably be the buying, very cheaply, of the many companies that are in trouble, due to the actions of hedge-funds, private equity firms, and investment bankers in the financial markets over recent years.

Here are a few mentions just to show that there are also good people doing good for mankind out there in the world.

Grameen Bank - taken from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Grameen Bank (Bengali) is a microfinance organization and community development bank started in Bangladesh that makes small loans (known as microcredit or "grameencredit" to the impoverished without requiring collateral. The word "Grameen", derived from the word "gram" or "village", means "of the village". The system of this bank is based on the idea that the poor have skills that are under-utilized. A group-based credit approach is applied which utilizes the peer-pressure within the group to ensure the borrowers follow through and use caution in conducting their financial affairs with strict discipline, ensuring repayment eventually and allowing the borrowers to develop good credit standing. The bank also accepts deposits, provides other services, and runs several development-oriented businesses including fabric, telephone and energy companies. Another distinctive feature of the bank's credit program is that a significant majority of its borrowers are women.

Microcredit – taken from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is specific to small loans. For financial services to the poor, see Microfinance. For small payments, see Micropayment.

Microcredit is the extension of very small loans (microloans) to those in poverty designed to spur entrepreneurship. These individuals lack collateral, steady employmentand a verifiable credit history and therefore cannot meet even the most minimal qualifications to gain access to traditional credit. Microcredit is a part of microfinance, which is the provision of a wider range of financial services to the very poor.

Microcredit is a financial innovation that is generally considered to have originated with the Grameen Bank in Bangladesh. In that country, it has successfully enabled extremely impoverished people to engage in self-employment projects that allow them to generate an income and, in many cases, begin to build wealth and exit poverty.^{[citation needed]} Due to the success of microcredit, many in the traditional banking industry have begun to realize that these microcredit borrowers should more correctly be categorized as pre-bankable; thus, microcredit is increasingly gaining credibility^{[citation needed]} in the mainstream finance industry, and many traditional large finance organizations are contemplating microcredit projects as a source of future growth, even though almost everyone in larger development organizations discounted the likelihood of success of microcredit when it was begun. The United Nations declared 2005 the International Year of Microcredit.

Muhammad Yunus - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Muhammad Yunus (Bangla:, pronounced Muhammôd Iunus) (born 28 June 1940) is a Bangladeshi banker and economist. He previously was a professor of economics where he developed the concept of microcredit. These loans are given to entrepreneurs too poor to qualify for traditional bank loans. Yunus is also the founder of Grameen Bank. In 2006, Yunus and the bank were jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, "for their efforts to create economic and social development from below."^[1] Yunus himself has received several other national and international honors. He is the author of Banker to the Poor and a founding board member of Grameen America and Grameen Foundation. In early 2007 Yunus showed interest in launching a political party in Bangladesh named Nagorik Shakti (Citizen Power), but later discarded the plan. He is one of the founding members of Global Elders.

FEAR

“Fear is used as a powerful tool of control by these factions of the global elite. "The terrorists want to kill us all. Your job, savings, and retirement are no longer secure. You are either for us or against us. We might be attacked at any time." All of these messages push us towards fear. And by encouraging us to focus blame on others such as terrorists and "evil" leaders, the global power brokers push us away from feeling in control of our lives and towards the role of powerless victims. The more we slip into fear and being victims, the easier it is for us to be manipulated.” - Building a Brighter Future - http://www.wanttoknow.info/brighterfuture

This next video coming up is very scary because it is so real but we must educate ourselves if we are to be free.

Loss of Civil Liberties
Graphically Portrayed In
Powerful Video Unconstitutional

The most excellent video documentary Unconstitutional: The War on Our Civil Liberties clearly depicts the rapid erosion and loss of civil liberties and civil rights in the U.S. since 9/11. Available for free viewing at the links below, this empowering video presents interviews with ranking members of Congress, top legal experts, and even a former CIA chief, all of whom describe many insidious efforts to take away privacy and freedoms guaranteed under the constitution for over 200 years. Compelling video footage depicts U.S. citizens—from law-abiding store clerks to a U.S. Olympian—who have suffered serious injustices as the result of unconstitutional policies established under the Patriot Act.

Even more astounding, members of Congress describe on camera the replacement of the previously agreed upon Patriot Act by another version quietly slipped into its place just hours before the final vote in Congress, leaving no one time to read the many devastating changes inserted at the last moment. Here is solid, verifiable evidence showing the serious, often-hidden erosion of the very foundation of the United States. Call your friends together to watch this engaging 60-minute video documentary and join in the growing movement to uphold democracy and the U.S. Constitution.

Speaking With Your Money

By Lynn M. Acquafondata
In this excerpt from her book, Lynne writes about an experience she had as a fund raiser for the Hunger Project.
One day she met a corporate executive in his high rise office in Chicago. All she knew about the huge food corporation for which he functioned as CEO was that it had recently suffered a major image problem due to inappropriate actions. The corporation apparently had decided upon the idea of contributing to a cause aimed at ending world hunger as a way to “clean up its image.”
She wrote:
“I was ushered into the CEO’s office. There he sat at his desk, and I sat facing him on the other side. The backlighting made it so that I could barely see his face. …”

Now for something completely different!!

The following documentary reminded me of my sister Donna when she was in her young teenage years. She decided to train the family how to react, get out and survive should there be a house fire during the night. She instructed everyone, and reminded again and again, on proper procedures including feeling the bedroom doorknob for heat, staying low to the floor, where to all meet outside, etc. One night, sometime between 2 and 3 am, the fire alarm in the house went off. My dad sprang from bed, not following any of the given instruction and burst into the hallway …where he faced my sister Donna standing on a chair holding the alarm button down to make the alarm sound, and yelling at him “You’re now dead”. I don’t recall if she got punished or not but it is now one of those funny stories that, we as a famiy recall from time to time, ..and it’s also an occasion when a child thought a parent a valuable lesson. It’s better to have a plan and be prepared for a disaster even if there is little chance of that disaster occurring because it gives us a much greater chance of survival.

How to Survive a Disaster?

A BBC Presentation

When disaster strikes who lives and who dies is not purely a matter of luck.
In every disaster, from those people face once in a lifetime, to those they face every day, there are things that can be done to increase the chances of getting out alive.
Horizon has gathered a team of leading experts to produce the ultimate guide to disaster
Through controversial experiments, computer simulations and analysis of hundreds of survivor testimonies from plane crashes to ferry disasters and even 9/11, they will reveal what happens in the mind in the moment of crisis and how the human brain can be programmed for survival.

You Were Made For This

”My friends, do not lose heart. We were made for these times. I have heard from so many recently who are deeply and properly bewildered. They are concerned about the state of affairs in our world now. Ours is a time of almost daily astonishment and often righteous rage over the latest degradations of what matters most to civilized, visionary people. “ …

Daylight Robbery

Panorama investigates claims that as much as $23bn (£11.75bn) may have been lost, stolen or not properly accounted for in Iraq. When the US goes to war, corporate America goes too. There are contracts for caterers, tanker drivers, security guards and even interrogators, many of them through companies with links to the White House. Now more than 70 whistle-blower cases threaten to reveal the scandals behind billions of dollars worth of waste, theft and corruption during the Iraq war.

A total of $23bn (£11.75bn) is under scrutiny. The US justice department has imposed gagging orders which prevent the real scale of the problem emerging. But Panorama’s Jane Corbin has spoken to some of those involved – with astonishing stories to tell of who got rich and who got burned.

She hears allegations of mismanagement, fraud and waste; tales of contractors chosen for their US government connections without a competitive bidding process; contractors inflating their costs and double counting to increase their profits and billions supposed to be used to rebuild the Iraqi military allegedly ending up in the pockets of some Iraqi government officials.

The Smell of Paradise

An Islamic world tour is documented here by visits to Pakistan, Afghanistan, Chechnya, and Qatar, to highlight events post 9/11, including footage taken a few years before.

The film above all endeavors to shed light on the process leading young men to the radical choice of self-sacrifice, becoming human bombs.

The directors of the film traveled for ten years throughout these countries under heavy Muslim influence, and met with clan leaders, mullahs, and other strict followers of the Koran.

The Smell of Paradise was shot in Chechnya, Dagestan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Qatar and Afghanistan, in places that have become white spaces on the map of Western journalism.

It takes the viewer not only into a different world, but also to another time. The result is a unique glance into the land of the jihad, the mental and physical battle that drives the Islamic fundamentalist movement.

Hidden Knowledge Course: Lesson Five
The Power Elite, False Flag Terrorism, and 9/11

For those of you who are not aware of some of the hidden manipulations going on in our world before reading this, the lesson may be challenging. However, you can move through it at whatever pace feels best for you. Though some of the information may be disturbing, many believe it is essential to at least be aware of these things in order to make a real difference in our world

http://www.hidden-knowledge.net/lessons/05a_power_elite

For those unfamiliar with the term false flag terrorism, here is a definition from Wikipedia
"False flag operations are covert operations conducted by governments, corporations, or other organizations, which are designed to deceive the public in such a way that the operations appear as if they are being carried out by other entities. The name is derived from the military concept of flying false colors; that is, flying the flag of a country other than one's own. False flag operations are not limited to war and counter-insurgency operations, and have been used in peace-time; for example, during Italy's strategy of tension."
In other words, when a government or other entity secretly pretends to be it's own enemy and launches an attack against itself, this is called a false flag operation.
This is done to fool unsuspecting people into believing that there is a greater threat than actually exists, and to manipulate the public into supporting war agendas. For clear examples of how this has shaped history, click here.
For an important example of a false flag operation that never happened, yet that nevertheless clearly shows how global politics can be manipulated, please read about Operation Northwoods through the declassified U.S. government documents released on this operation at the link below:
www.WantToKnow.info/010501operationnorth... - Operation Northwoods

The only reason these documents were released by the U.S. government is that the operation was never carried out. If Operation Northwoods had been carried out, the documents would never have been released. Those involved would have invoked "national security" to keep them secret. There are laws which allow plans actually put into operation which allegedly affect national security to remain classified indefinitely.

It is through use of the highly organized military and intelligence services that the power elite, working together with key allies in government and the media, are able to carry out major false flag operations. The Northwoods documents, for example, state "responsibility for both overt and covert military operations [will] be assigned the Joint Chiefs of Staff," showing that very few even in the military would know how the public was being deceived.

Having an inefficient, at times bumbling government bureaucracy actually makes it easier for the elite to manipulate politicians and laws. And should anyone claim that the government is carrying out a false flag operation or some kind of conspiracy, the power elite and their media baron buddies disingenuously point out how ridiculous such claims are when government is so inefficient.
Meanwhile the military and intelligence services are not only used to promote these operations, they also promulgate sophisticated disinformation to lead astray any who might investigate the secret manipulations. False flag operations give the pretext for war needed by the elite to maintain their power and rake in the huge profits and power that war brings them.

In societies with strong power elites, the powerholders' power is dependent on the co-operation, acquiescence, and tacit support of the great majority of common citizens.  ~  Bill Moyer

What Really Happened on 9/11?

For what may be one the most disturbing false flag operations ever, please watch the highly engaging, carefully researched 84-minute documentary below which raises critical questions about 9/11. If you have a slow Internet connection and aren't able to view this
on your computer, please go to a local library or Internet cafe to watch it – it’s worth the effort.

Some of you may still be skeptical that 9/11 was a false flag operation. The makers of this web information do not in the least require anyone to believe in a 9/11 cover-up. However, they do ask you to be aware of the possibility.
To explore this possibility further, you can read and verify the public statements available here of some of the hundreds of high-ranking government representatives, senior military and government officials, and respected professors who are now convinced that there were major manipulations on that fateful day.

Note: WantToKnow.info believes it is important to balance disturbing cover-up information with inspirational writings which call us to be all that we can be and to work together for positive change. Please visit their Inspiration Center at http://www.WantToKnow.info/inspirational for an abundance of uplifting material.

Let’s look at the whole picture and how hate and/or negativity will only make matterw worse.

Let's not forget the greater perspective in all this. What's really going on here? Consider that many people from all walks of life get caught up in greed and the desire for power. Some get so caught up in it all that they end up being involved in severe manipulation of public perception for the personal benefit of themselves and those close to them.
We all definitely need to work together to stop the destructive behavior, yet does it really help matters when we shut out these people and label them as bad or evil? Doesn't this just create more conflict and polarization in our world? If we want to make a difference in our world, we can be most effective when we work to understand the motivations and inner workings of the old paradigm and learn to dance with the shadows both within ourselves and out in the world.

THE ISRAELI LOBBY
Is one allowed to question that reality, or is the pro-Israel lobby so strong, financially and politically, that the relationship with Israel is taboo and therefore unmentionable? And what happens to those who dare expose the unmentionable? In March 2006 the American political scientists John Mearsheimer (University of Chicago) and Steve Walt (Harvard) published the controversial article 'The Israel Lobby and US foreign policy'. In it they state that it is not, or no longer, expedient for the US to support and protect present-day Israel. Together with the power shifts in Congress and the increasing doubts about the current Middle-East policy, this could become the fuse in the powder keg. Backlight talks to the people concerned in this 'new realism' debate. The documentary sheds light on both parties involved in the discussion: those who wish to maintain the strong tie between the US and Israel (Neocon Richard Perle, the Lebanese Christian Brigitte Gabriel and evangelist John Hagee, the lobby club AIPAC), and those who were critical of it and not infrequently became 'victims' of the lobby. Member of Congress Earl Hilliard from Alabama advocated a rapprochement with the Arab world and was promptly ousted by a political adversary who had the support of Aipac money.

The historian Tony Judt, who tried to maintain that Israel was becoming a belligerent and intolerant ethno-state, driven by religion, found a lecture canceled at the last minute. And the Human Rights Watch Director Kenneth Roth was personally attacked after he had criticized the violence Israel had used in the mini-war against Lebanon last summer. Finally the question arises in how far the pro-Israel lobby ultimately determines the military and political importance of Israel itself. Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson (Colin Powell's ex chief-of-staff) explains in how far the lobby's influence affects the decision-making structure in the White House. Member of Congress and Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich is asked in how far today's politicians can stay out of reach of the long arm of the pro-Israel lobby. The lobby, Congress, the White House and Israel itself seem to have ended up in a suffocating embrace: will it ever change and how could it?
This is only content summary. Please visit full blog post to watch video documentary, comments and more
This is a well made film. Due to the influence of the lobby, this film could not be filmed by the United States but rather by a news station in the Netherlands. The topic of Israeli influence in the United States is one which faces incredible censorship whenever there is an attempt to discuss it. At the heart of this matter is AIPAC a powerful organization who influences US policy. The Israeli Lobby influence is so strong in both parties that relationship between the US and Israel will probably not change regardless of whether republicans or democrats are elected. If you want to understand U.S. policy in the middle east, you first should understand AIPAC.

The Power Elite
The power elite consists of those with tremendous amounts of both wealth and power in our world. Like any group, the power elite has both individuals and fa
ctions which are inclined to promote their own self-serving interests, and those who are more interested in serving the greater good.

To get a brief, representative picture of the power elite and some of their secret societies as reported in numerous major media articles, please read through some of the news article summaries at the link below:

In exploring this provocative issue, it is vitally important that we don't fall into "us vs. them" thinking which only leads to more polarization and conflict. This information is provided knowing that through better understanding all that is happening, we can more effectively make a difference.

The Good News
To provide some balance to the disturbing shadow material provided on this page (compliments in a large part to Hidden Knowledge Course, Lesson 5, provided by PEERS) half Hidden Knowledge also introduces you to a very unusual, inspiring group of intelligence agents who call themselves "The Library."
When self-serving intelligence groups occasionally get out of control, Library members quietly leak certain information and key documents to the appropriate sources to prevent some really ugly things from happening."The Library."
For those interested in these kinds of things, you can find information at this link. The webpage there provides six fascinating pages of communications from an inspiring former member of German intelligence. For those who might want more, a compelling summary of all 25 pages or so of the German guy's communications is available here.
Almost all information given by the "German guy" has been verified, suggesting that the Library is indeed a quiet, but key player working to stop some of the disempowering manipulations of the power elite and to support the good of all humanity. And the Library is not alone. There are many other groups working quietly at many levels to do what's right and best for all of us.

Here is a beautiful, moving essay on our role in these intense times.

Strange Culture

Strange Culture
Alternately teasing and terrifying, Strange Culture molds one man’s tragedy into an engrossing narrative.
In 2004, Steve Kurtz (Thomas Jay Ryan), an associate professor of art at the State University of New York, Buffalo, was preparing an exhibition on genetically modified food for the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art when his wife, Hope (Tilda Swinton), died in her sleep of heart failure.
But when paramedics noticed petri dishes and other scientific paraphernalia in the home, they alerted the F.B.I. Within hours Mr. Kurtz found himself suspected of bioterrorism, his home quarantined and his wife’s body removed for autopsy.
Filmmaker Lynn Hershman-Leeson bends the nonfiction form to her own unconventional will. The result is a fascinating collage of re-enactments, news clips and interviews, illuminating not only the implications of corporate meddling in the food chain but the ease with which innocent civilian behavior can become a suspicious act.

The problem isn’t that we’re powerless. The problem is that we have allowed those with agendas in government and the media to convince us that we’re powerless. They've confused us, distracted us and made us feel like we barely have the power to get out of bed in the morning. The truth is that every one of us has tremendous untapped strength, intelligence and resources hard-wired into us. The truth is that people can thrive in the worst imaginable circumstances. We can succeed against overwhelming odds if we are committed.

My personal view of this next documentary is of a people who were given (or discovered) mathematical and astronomical science that put them a thousand years ahead of the European countries of the time. Yet, through their ruler’s lust for control and violence, it was molded into a superstition with cruel and deadly scenarios that ultimately led to their end.

I do not personally agree with the commentator/maker of this next upcoming documentary. I believe that the whole documentary set out to disprove God and the second coming of Christ. Now, please remember that this is my own opinion. I, also, do not agree with some of the people interviewed, although other people interviewed were very sensible and appeared to be looking for legitimate answers. However, I believe that everyone should have their say (it’s up to each of us to decide for ourselves) so I have chosen to include it here.

Note: Something that may be helpful here when taking this all in, is that we are told that the anti-Christ will have a damaged eye … in ancient literature (it actually calls him ‘one eyed”
whatever that will mean); this is the only hint we have to be able to spot him know that he is not the true Christ. …. And perhaps the mark of the beast will be a barcode on us, or an implant (Verisign).
What is the real source of these ideas that so many people attribute to the book of Revelation? Whoever wrote it sheltered in a cave on the Greek island of Patmos, probably a refugee from is Roman occupied Palestine. He is also likely to have consumed the local hallucinogenic magic mushrooms.

There are some 40 apocalyptic books from this era but this was the only one that made it into the Bible. If the author was writing about the hated Roman Empire, it could be that the seven heads of the beast meant the seven emperors.

Did you know that the Muslims believe that Jesus was born of Mary and that Mary was a virgin (and that He (Jesus) was capable of speech from birth which, to me,

would make sense given the power of God) and that he descended into heaven and that there will be a second coming of Jesus and that he will be our savior as we believe. They also believe in the Anti-Christ. Makes you wonder what all the fighting is about, other than politics and extremists … oh yeah, and oil ... And let’s not forget keeping us all fighting over foolishness so that we don’t notice what’s really going on in the world.

The Muslim Jesus

A documentary about the Islamic Jesus – a man born of a virgin, and who performed miracles. The Muslim Jesus uses the Qur’an and other Islamic texts to explore the differing ways in which Christian and Muslim faiths both acknowledge Jesus.

Scholars, teachers, parents, rappers, poets and historians come together for the one hour special narrated by Melvin Bragg.
The differences between the Qur’an and Bible’s portrayal of Jesus are explored in detail, from the role of Mary and his death and resurrection, to the coming of the Anti-Christ.

Here is another very good organization to explore and learn from.
IONS
(Institute of Noetic Sciences)
A non-profit membership organization exploring the frontiers of consciousness

http://www.noetic.org/about.cfm
IONS is a nonprofit membership organization located in Northern California that conducts and sponsors leading-edge research into the potentials and powers of consciousness—including perceptions, beliefs, attention, intention, and intuition. The Institute maintains a commitment to scientific rigor while exploring phenomena that have been largely overlooked by mainstream science.

The Institute is not a spiritual association, political-action group, or a single-cause institute. Rather, they honor open-minded approaches and multiple ways of knowing, bring discernment to their work, and support diversity of perspectives on social and scientific matters

Hidden Knowledge Course: Foreword

Fluid Intelligence and Transparency
Fluid intelligence has little to do with IQ or "book" intelligence. It is rather the ability to step outside of our beliefs and consider information which does not fit into our previously accepted view of reality.

Don't be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.

Health Cover-up Summary

The book review located at the link below, taken from the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine, clearly reveals just how corrupt the pharmaceutical and health care industries have become.

http://www.wanttoknow.info/healthcoverup

"The combined profits for the ten drug companies in the Fortune 500 ($35.9 billion) were more than the profits for all the other 490 businesses put together ($33.7 billion) [in 2002]. Over the past two decades the pharmaceutical industry has moved very far from its original high purpose of discovering and producing useful new drugs. Now primarily a marketing machine to sell drugs of dubious benefit, this industry uses its wealth and power to co-opt every institution that might stand in its way, including the US Congress, the FDA, academic medical centers, and the medical profession itself."
-- Dr. Marcia Angell, former editor in chief of the New England Journal of Medicine

Full Book to Learn more on the above topic is: “The Truth About the Drug Companies” by Marcia Angell, M.D. Senior Lecturer in Social Medicine at Harvard Medical School

The Truth About the Drug Companies, provides yet another eye-opening example of how greed has taken over many facets of business and government, and offers empowering ideas on what we can do about it.

Generation Rx

Revealing Documentary about our Children

I cannot express this STRONGLY ENOUGH!!!

If you have a child on doctor/school insisted mood medication. WATCH THIS VIDEO CAREFULLY!

If you know of someone who has a child on doctor/school insisted mood medication, show them this video. WATCH THIS VIDEO CAREFULLY WITH THEM!

If you know a school teacher, school official, school principal, pass this video along to them. AND CHECK BACK LATER TO BE SURE THEY WATCHED THIS VIDEO.

If you know a doctor, nurse, hospital administrator, legislator, pass this video along to them. AND CHECK BACK LATER TO BE SURE THEY WATCHED THIS VIDEO.

THE MORE PEOPLE WE EDUCATE WITH THIS; THE MORE PEOPLE WE GET THE WORD OUT TO; THE MORE CHILDREN WE CAN SAVE BEFORE IT’S WAY, WAY, TOO LATE.

SO PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE … PASS THIS ON.

“Generation Rx” Description: For decades, scores of doctors, government officials, journalists, and others have extolled the benefits of psychiatric medicines for children. GENERATION RX presents “the rest of the story” and unveils how this era of unprecedented change in Western culture really occurred — and what price has been paid by our society.

(My Comments (my opinion) after watching the video: These drugs were not designed for, nor tested on children. They were originally produced to sell to housewives in the 50s-60s to give them energy and make them feel happy in their, more often not, very happy lives. When the drug companies lost their market in the late 60s, early 70s, they decided to repackage, invent a problem (mental illness) that all of our children suddenly had, (that people before that time just called normal growing ups and downs) and this gave them a new area into which to redirect their multi-billion dollar sales to a new market. These drugs are a form of mind control … and the damage that they can do to young minds has not even been tested. They have been linked to the growing violence and shootings in schools, and teen drug addiction among other things.) Go ahead and see the facts for yourself.

History Channel’s Modern Marvels: Surveillance Technology

In the world of surveillance, Big Brother is not only watching, he’s also listening, analyzing, recording, scanning, & tracking every aspect of our lives. With advanced surveillance technology, there’s virtually no place to hide.

Examining some of the most important & potentially terrifying equipment the world has ever seen–or rather, not seen–in this thriving surveillance revolution. Parabolic microphones that pick up conversations a mile a way, cameras that learn what & who to photograph, RadarVision that “sees through walls”, and Uninhabited Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Explore the mind-bending future of surveillance technology, while, of course, reviewing its surprising history.

Watching that last “Surveillance-technology” documentary led me to believe that RFID microchips were much more advance than I only thought they were. Now to me this is very scary, and the next logical step up from all of our information being kept on a magnetic strip on the back of a card we carry. I therefore did a search on them and found some of the following items. Some of this conspiracy reporting is enough to make your heart race.

Our Deepest Fear
By Marianne Williamson

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness
That most frightens us.
We ask ourselves
Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small
Does not serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking
So that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine,
As children do.
We were born to make manifest
The glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us;
It's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we're liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.

Note: This inspiring quote is taken from Marianne Williamson's book A Return to Love. Though often quoted as part of Nelson Mandela's moving inaugural speech, "Our Deepest Fear" does not appear in the speech. Marianne Williamson herself has commented on this mistaken attribution.

To most people war is a supreme evil to be avoided if at all possible. And yet, we go right on having wars. To those who rule nations, war is a tool of power, which is used deliberately. War provides the perfect excuse for a government to impose increased controls on its own people. By citing 'national security' the government can persuade the people that even highly dictatorial controls are for their own good. -Peter Beter

The above documentary was filmed in 1987 before the fall of the Berlin Wall. Once the wall came down and the long-standing Soviet threat was gone, the power elite, dependent on defense sales to pad their pockets, needed a new threat.

Several think tanks, including the highly influential Project for the New American Century found their needed threat in Islamic fundamentalism, particularly in the oil-rich Middle East. How much of this threat was fostered or even created by the global elite?
For a full understanding of the mentality of those involved; there is a revealing BBC documentary that digs deep into the roots of the war on terror, only to find that much of the widespread fear in the post-9/11 world has been fabricated by those in power for their own interests. Divided into 3 parts, which can be watched separately, each section of this three-part BBC series is 60 minutes. If you can’t watch all 3 then, watch part 3 but it’s really worth watching all 3 to fully understand the strategy behind the scare tactics used to make people afraid – and why those in control want the people to be afraid.
