New York condo owned by Ekaterina Rybolovleva

While those of us who belong to the nearly extinct category of human beings known as the middle class, brace ourselves for our January credit card invoices, it warms the cockles of my heart to know that a Russian businessman can buy his daughter a penthouse condo overlooking Central Park for the paltry sum of $88 million dollars. She's in school in New York, and this would be a nice place to hang for the duration of her studies.

Yes, during this season of giving, we also get inundated with ads about children starving in third world countries, in the hopes that our generosity extends to those less fortunate than ourselves. I wonder if this Russian mining magnate has ever been guilted into parting with his rubles, to contribute to charitable causes. If so, was it purely to dodge taxes? In the end, at least the money would get to where it's most needed. Or would it?

I've reached a point in my life that I can honestly say I am skeptical of any philanthropic endeavours unless they are local and I can see direct evidence of how capital is invested and spent in real dollars. Look at how many millions are raised every year for a cure for cancer, yet the numbers of people diagnosed has increased, if anything.

All the more reason to conclude that the oligarchs who control the banking systems and military industrial complex under which our grandchildren would be indentured servants - if all goes according to plan - have no intention of feeding, educating, or supporting the increased comfort levels of the masses in any way, shape, or form. We are, in all probability considered an inferior species that doesn't deserve to continue consuming, and breeding uncontrollably.

view of Central park

For this reason, I, as a parent and concerned citizen, can only recommend that the masses wake up to what is really happening, and do more than sit back on their living room couches, and watch the Wall Street activists make a point. There are people in the office where I work, who are actually angry with the Toronto version of this occupation, and complain about these "squatters" getting in the way of honest, hard working taxpayers. All I can say to that is: "Bah, humbug!" If it isn't apathy, it will be ignorance that will be the public's downfall.

I leave you with a quote from Henry David Thoreau to ponder during this festive time of year:

Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty. The obedient must be slaves.

Have a revolutionary New Year!

All That Glitters

When I read about the passing of Huguette Clark at the age of 104 in May of this year I could only feel pity for this copper baron's heiress, and a certain element of revulsion.

The public are being bombarded with media warnings that sustainable living is a must. Cutback, recycle, tighten your belts, are daily catch phrases for the masses, while this woman held on to properties valued in the millions that she hadn't set foot in for fifty years including a mansion on Fifth Avenue with 121 rooms.

Instead, after dissolving a nine month marriage which the groom said was unconsummated, she opted to stay in Manhattan alone with her dolls watching "The Flintstones", before checking in under an assumed name to Doctors Hospital, and then Beth Israel Medical Center, where she was tended to for decades until she died.

I don't profess to have any insight into why her development was totally arrested. Perhaps having a father in his seventies who married a woman 40 years his junior. This same man literally bought himself a senate seat and amassed a fortune equal to the Vanderbilts and Guggenheims - at what price?

Yet another case of "poor little rich girl", you might say. It certainly appears a case of plenty of wealth and not enough parental attention. What I fail to understand is why she didn't choose at least to disperse the assets she had no use for in a way that would benefit the community. Apparently she was lucid to the last day, so one couldn't attribute her choices to an unsound mind.

Her accountant and attorney were certainly well looked after while managing her estate ( no surprise there ). But I can't help but wonder if her fate might have taken a different turn were she capable of giving or even toyed with the notion of paying it forward.

That may be the answer to our economic woes on a global scale. So long as there is a distinct division between the "haves" and the "have nots" we perpetuate economic pendulum swings and live in envy, resentment, suffering, and solitude.

A concise summary of the Clark Family saga can be found in a New York Times article at this link:

It's about time that those who have the power to collapse the economies of an entire nation purely on a whim, answer for their monstrous arrogance and greed driven agendas. I can only hope that other like these "men" are found accountable for their crimes against humanity.

Living the high life of super yachts and model girlfriends, Robert and Vincent Tchenguiz's flamboyant and aggressive business reputation was also matched by their decadent lifestyle.
With a £4bn fortune to play with, they lived the playboy lifestyle, with beautiful women on their arms, and champagne flowing.
Robert dated model Caprice and was even romantically linked with Princess Diana, but settled with health guru Heather Bird, from whom he is separated.

However, the couple still occupy a property close to the Royal Albert Hall, while Vincent has a home close to the U.S embassy in Mayfair.
And property was Vincent's main focus as they built up their empire, the older of the two brothers at one stage owned or managed 300,000 homes.

The Tchenguiz brothers seemed to come from nowhere and were identified with the boom years leading up to the banking crash. They were in deal after deal.

But yesterday it all came crashing down as they were arrested by investigators probing the collapse of the Icelandic bank Kaupthing.The pair were held during simultaneous dawn raids in London and Reykjavik amid claims they withdrew vast sums of cash just days before the crisis broke. Even as police knocked on their doors yesterday morning they were preparing to stage a champagne party on their super-yacht at a prestigious trade fair in the south of France.

The high-rolling businessmen – once ranked among the richest in Britain – were questioned over the collapse of the Icelandic bank in October 2008. And now all eyes are on the Mipim property conference in Cannes to see if they will make an appearance.

The brothers built up their empire specialising in property and leisure that rode the crest of the boom wave.
Now Investigators at the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) want to know what happened immediately before the demise of Kaupthing.
Questions remain over how some were able to withdraw funds in the days before the bank’s catastrophic collapse
.
Investigators are also looking at why some clients were able to take large loans backed with minimal collateral and deferred interest payments. Among them is Robert, who borrowed around £1.25billiion which he used to buy stakes in Sainsbury and pub group Mitchells & Butlers. . .

A Sobering Thought

tamurile@godboxcafe.com (Tamurile) — Thu, 23 Dec 2010 08:04:54 PST

I know, I know throwing all this at people is "grinching" the festivities but someone has to remain awake while the masses choose to ignore the potential perils that await us in the coming decade.

While at my father-in-law's farm near Kingston, Ontario this week I was listening to a program called "Democracy Now" hosted by Queen's University and an interview with journalist/author Chris Hedges was underway.

My ears perked up largely because this man gave up a high profile career as foreign correspondent for the New York Times to publish a book entitled, "The Death of the Liberal Class".

I intend to read this cover to cover and strongly recommend it to everyone who has a concern for the future, and how it will be shaped for us if we drop the ball.

Here are a few excerpts:

Capitalism, and especially corporate capitalism, was once viewed as a system to be fought. But capitalism is no longer challenged in public discourse. Capitalist bosses, men such as Warren Buffett, George Soros and Donald Trump, are treated bizarrely as sages and celebrities, as if greed and manipulation had become the highest moral good.As Wall Street steals billions of taxpayer dollars, as it perpetuates massive fraud to throw people out of their homes, as the ecosphere that sustains the planet is polluted and destroyed, we do not know what to do or say. We have been robbed of a vocabulary to describe reality. We decry the excesses of capitalism without demanding a dismantling of the corporate state. Our pathetic response is to be herded to political rallies by skillful publicists to shout inanities like "Yes, we can!"

The liberal class is finished. Neither it nor its representatives will provide the leadership or resistance to halt our slide toward despotism. The liberal class prefers comfort and privilege to confrontation. It will not halt the corporate assault or thwart the ascendancy of the corporate state. It will remain intolerant within its ranks of those who do. The liberal class now honours an unwritten quid pro quo, one set in place by Bill Clinton, to cravenly serve corporate interests in exchange for money, access, and admittance into the halls of power. The press, the universities, the labour movement, the arts, the churches, and the Democratic Party fearful of irrelevance and desperate to retain their positions within the corporate state, will accelerate their purges of those who speak the unspeakable, those who name what cannot be named.

It is the gutless and bankrupt liberal class, even more than the bizarre collection of moral and intellectual trolls now running for office, who are our most perfidious opponents.

Consider this while you knock back the eggnog:

Since 1995, there has been a 444% salary increase for Canada's highest paid CEO's. The top ten execs collected a total of $60.7 million in 1995, and by 2007 that figure had soared to $330.3 million.

Take home pay amounts for top three in 2007, the last year for which figures are available were:

1. Michael Lazaridis, Research in Motion, $51,515,518
2. Gordon Nixon, Royal Bank of Canada, $44,270,084
3. Robert Milton, ACE Aviation Holdings, $42,928,122

OBITUARY FOR THE RULE OF LAW

Rule of Law – Born June 15, 1215, died December 13 2010

It is with sadness and the deepest of regrets that we announce the death of the Rule of Law in the area of consumer products. Born in England with the Magna Carta, the Rule of Law immigrated to Canada and flourished. She influenced Courts and politicians alike. Despite the odd set-back, everyone thought she was alive and well. Her influence seemed to be wide-spread, supported by Canadians from coast to coast who enjoyed the protection from state excess that she provided. At times great fanfare accompanied efforts to ensure that she would live among us forever. Most notable of these efforts was the Canadian Bill of Rights in 1960, and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms in 1982.

In retrospect it is clear that the environment that led to Her death was the complacency of the very citizens she was so diligent in protecting. We so believed that she would be among us forever, that we were not watching to see that she was in danger. Sadly the danger struck quickly. With the exception of brave Liberals in the Senate, all four parties in Parliament rammed the Consumer Product Safety Bill (C-36) through Parliament in record time. The Rule of Law was blind-sided by the Bill, and despite efforts to revive Her, She was declared dead by the Senate on December 13 2010

With Her passing, the state can now take control over private property in the area of consumer products, and in some cases keep the property, without any Court supervision of any kind. This can be done in secrecy, so that the rest of us will not know of families being destroyed by unchecked state discretion. State discretion without independent Court supervision (see the definition of Tyranny in any dictionary) is the anathema to the Rule of Law, and led to her demise.

The Family, the grieving citizens of Canada, requests that instead of flowers, donations be given to those groups seeking to preserve the few fundamental freedoms that, although under attack, are still on the endangered species list.

What About Money?

A Preliminary Synopsis
Banks are opposed to silver or metal based currencies as policy because metals compete with paper currency. As they can not print silver or gold out of thin air meaning they don’t control the means of production nor the raw materials. While they have almost absolute control over paper money.
The central banks own the presses, have plenty of paper and they have made sure that the government legitimizes their operation. In this day and age we are witness to legalized criminality as the order of the day.
When the government needs more money for more reckless spending they simply ask the FEDeral Reserve to print money out of thin air and the FED then charges the government interest for virtual money.

MYTHIC IMPLICATIONS: Could the story I am relating be a silver bullet for the business suit wearing werewolf super predators devouring the planet? To undestand what I mean by mythic implications and its very real world implications please see the article entitled "Alice and the Rabbit Holographic Universe", found in the emergent section of emergent-culture.com. I would have placed a link but for some reason I can't place links in picture captions.
Interest you and I pay in the form of taxes. We are talking about the biggest racket in the history of civilization. Prior to the installation of the Federal Reserve the Government could print its own interest free money.

We are dealing with a parasitic financial system that lives and breathes because we are ignorant of how the monetary system works.
A metal based currency is a people’s currency that we control. JP Morgan, the government and others want to keep the value of gold and silver artificially low so that a paper based monetary system looks like a more lucrative alternative to investors and at the same time makes money via currency value manipulations.
“We are completely dependent on the commercial banks. Someone has to borrow every dollar we have in circulation, cash or credit. If the banks create ample synthetic money we are prosperous; if not, we starve. We are absolutely without a permanent money system….

It is the most important subject intelligent persons can investigate and reflect upon. It is so important that our present civilization may collapse unless it becomes widely understood and the defects remedied very soon.” –Robert H. Hamphill, Atlanta Federal Reserve Bank

Excerpt from the latest Global Europe Anticipation Bulletin

As the LEAP/E2020 team anticipated in its open letter to the G20 leaders published in the international edition of the Financial Times of 24 March 2009, on the eve of the London Summit, the question of a fundamental reform of the international monetary system is central to any attempt to solve the current crisis.

But sadly, as was demonstrated again at the failure of the G20 summit in Seoul, the window of opportunity for achieving such a reform peaceably closed at the end of summer 2009 and will not open again before 2012/2013 (1).

The world is indeed in the throes of the global geopolitical dislocation that we had announced as beginning at the end of 2009 and which can be seen, less than a year later, in the proliferation of movements, the economic woes, the fiscal deficits, the monetary disagreements, all setting the scene for major geopolitical shocks.

With the G20 summit in Seoul, which signalled to the planet in its entirety the end of US domination of the international agenda and its replacement by a generalised mood of “every man for himself”, a new phase of the crisis has begun, prompting the LEAP/E2020 team to issue a new warning.

The world is about to breach a critical threshold in this phase of global geopolitical dislocation. And as with every breach of threshold in a complex system, this will generate, as from the first quarter of 2011, a suite of non-linear phenomena: developments that do not conform to the usual rules and the traditional projections, be they economic, monetary, financial, social or political.

In this GEAB N°49, in addition to the analysis of the six main steps marking the breach of this critical threshold of the global geopolitical, our team presents numerous recommendations to help cope with the consequences of this new phase of the crisis.

They address, for example the currency/interest rates/gold and precious metals group; wealth preservation and the replacement of the US dollar by another measure of net worth; the bubbles in asset classes denominated in US dollars; and the stock markets and the most vulnerable corporate categories in this phase of the crisis.

The LEAP/E2020 team also presents the “three simple reflexes” to adopt to understand and anticipate better the new world taking shape. Also in this issue, our team describes the double Franco-German electoral shock in store for 2012/2013. And we also present an excerpt from the Manual of Political Anticipation, written by the president of LEAP, Marie-Hélène Caillol, and published by Anticipolis in French, English, German and Spanish.

As the monetary situation degenerates there may be a silver lining in the works. Please see latest article on Max Kieser’s Silver Bullet Initiative to Crash JPMorgan. http://emergent-culture.com/max-keisers-silver-bullet-initiative-to-challenge-the-banks-crash-jpmorgan-buy-silver/ The silver market may be a safe place to invest and at the same time we may be able to bring at least one financial giant to the ground.

Today the U.S. Senate will vote to pass bill 510, the notorious "Food Safety Modernization Act". If S510 is passed, personal control over gardening will be severely restricted and saving seeds will be outlawed, theoretically setting the stage for a complete food monopoly by Monsanto and its GMO agenda. In short, it will grant the U.S. government new authority over the public’s right to grow, trade and transport any foods. Food production of any kind will essentially be under the authority of the Department of Homeland Security and anyone caught growing food without permission, even in their own backyard, could be charged with a criminal offense. Take action against Senate Bill 510 now.

If Senate Bill 510 passes the United States will be one step closer to a situation akin to Europe's, where the European Union has passed a directive to come into full-force in April 2011. All herbal and mineral supplements are to be banned, all teaching of alternative healing methods will be banned, and all homeopathic colleges will be dissolved.

Turning Inward and Facing the Dark

tamurile@godboxcafe.com (Tamurile) — Mon, 15 Nov 2010 04:18:07 PST

Author: Patricia VanTighem after a grizzly bear attack and numerous surgeries to reconstruct her face.

We have entered the cycle of darkness in the calendar year, which leads many to pause and reflect on the activities of sunkissed spring and summer days. For others this lack of light and heat can cause considerable stress, anxiety, and deep depression. Standing still has consequences. But to blindly push forward in order to avoid confronting the consequences of one's actions is the height of folly.

Having been born in a month that heralds death, I know full well the struggle to maintain balance when the palate turns to brown and grey, and the sun sets at 4:30 every day. Perhaps this is what prompted me to fully pursue shamanic training and understand what the crossing of the veils really signifies: a transition, as opposed to an end full stop.

This leads me to the story of Patricia Van Tighem who was a newlywed nurse taking a vacation in the Canadian Rockies in 1983, when she and her husband were attacked by a grizzly bear. Her attempts to reinvent herself amidst the pain of multiple surgeries, staggering pain, and permanent disfigurement put the Phantom of the Opera to shame. Her battle to function as a wife, mother, sister, and woman ended with her suicide on December 14, 2005.

Patricia's memoirs were published in a book entitled "The Bear's Embrace"

SOURCE: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/744889.The_Bear_s_Embrace
THE BEAR'S EMBRACE (256 pp) is the true story of not only surviving the attack, but of how she and her husband survived the transformation from being beautiful and strong, to being disfigured, wracked with pain, enduring years of multiple surgeries. In a culture which values beauty and good looks, this memoir offers insight, courage and hope. It was nominated for several major awards, and earned the editor, Barbara Pulling, the Tom Fairley award.

Each and every one of us must face the bear, whatever form it chooses to take. Embracing it is the one way to conquer it's power over us. Something to contemplate before the holiday season commences in full force. November is the month of remembrance. We would do well to remember that a life examined is a life worth living.

Black Moon Lilith Edition of Godboxcafe is Up

tamurile@godboxcafe.com (Tamurile) — Wed, 22 Sep 2010 12:02:59 PDT

Of Adam’s first wife, Lilith, it is told
(The witch he loved before the gift of Eve,)
That, ere the snake’s, her sweet tongue could deceive,
And her enchanted hair was the first gold.

And still she sits, young while the earth is old,
And, subtly of herself contemplative,
Draws men to watch the bright web she can weave,
Till heart and body and life are in its hold.

The rose and poppy are her flower; for where
Is he not found, O Lilith, whom shed scent
And soft-shed kisses and soft sleep shall snare?
Lo! as that youth’s eyes burned at thine, so went
Thy spell through him, and left his straight neck bent
And round his heart one strangling golden hair.

Dante Gabriel Rossetti

SOURCE: http://blackmoonlilith.com/liliths-story/

The Lilith persona has endured throughout history, garnering supporters as well as detractors. Some look upon her as a champion for the rights of the individual, or more specifically, for the rights of women. Others respect her rebellion as the difficult and lonely choice of true freedom. Robert Burns, in his poem “Adam, Lilith, and Eve,” empathizes with her, postulating that it was Lilith who truly loved Adam, rather than the submissive wife he preferred.

This past new moon had a great deal of black moon Lilith energy in its configuration. What better way to acknowledge this prompt to drop arbitrary restrictions in the current paradigm and let loose. We interview professor Bradford Keeney of http://www.shakingmedicine.com, regarding his experience with shaking oneself into ecstatic bliss as taught to him by the Kalahari bushmen of Africa.

Here the Ju/'hoan Bushman n/om-kxaosi (shamans, healers, traditional doctors) express their ideas, beliefs, practices, and teaching. They hold the oldest spiritual, shamanic, and healing practices on Earth. Unlike most other cultures, they do not believe that "words" can change the world. They give little importance to written or fixed oral tradition, but emphasize the way n/om (the vital force or spiritual power or shaking medicine) touches the whole of our mind/body/heart/soul. They see the rest of the world as largely ignorant, blinded by the trickster nature of thought, and starved for the living presence of n/om. As the oldest living culture they have not harmed the Earth and they have never declared war on other people. Perhaps they offer a true alternative to the language games of other cultural religions, philosophies, and ways of being.

Public presentations by Dr. Keeney and donations are the means of raising funds for ongoing fieldwork with the Kalahari Bushmen. The fieldwork aims to record and help conserve their healing wisdom. Dr. Keeney can be reached by email at: bradfordkeeney@shakingmedicine.com

For Every Problem there is a Solution

tamurile@godboxcafe.com (Tamurile) — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 06:23:44 PDT

In 1982 I was gifted with a book from my husband that remains one of the most cherished on my shelf. At the time, I didn't know what I know now, and how connected I am on many levels to the cetaceans of this planet. In fact, I'm still discovering the depth of their role in my life. The title of this book is "Mind in the Waters", and it describes in detail the physiology, mythology, and consequently the value of whales and dolphins as sentient beings on this planet.

Much more has been revealed about the mammals of the oceans in the past twenty years and I am convinced that they are the most "intelligent" lifeforms in this biosphere. Yet this is what the Danish are doing:

You can see the blood from an airplane:

What you don't see is any women participating in this slaughter. SO I'm thinking, enough with the testosterone driven bloodlust of conquering and controlling all that you survey and try to build a paradigm that keeps the waters pure, before we end up eliminating ourselves.

One initiative that demonstrates this approach to shifting our perceptions and taking on the role of planetary guardians has been taken by Starfire Tor. I encourage you to add your name to her Facebook page that is advocating the whales and dolphins be classified as "people". Even scientists can't deny that the brain to body mass ratio exceeds our own, so killing these beautiful water people is GENOCIDE.

Starfire Tor's Facebook page is :

Barbarians at the Gate

tamurile@godboxcafe.com (Tamurile) — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 20:56:18 PDT

My geneaology traces back to a tribe that resisted the advances of the Roman Empire at great cost, and this is still a profoundly visceral response for me, especially when I see what is going on in the world today and how little has changed.

As my mother always said: " Same pigsty ; different pigs".

The decadent oligarchy ruling class aren't sporting togas, but they are parading about at the expense of the masses, all the while claiming that their decisions are for the benefit of the public. Please explain to me how the public gained by the G20 summit hosted here in Toronto, when atrocities and human rights violations like this were committed by the police?

The explanation is in the body of this article by Doug Draper:

SOURCE:http://niagaraatlarge.com/2010/07/05/thorold-ontario-amputee-has-his-artificial-leg-ripped-off-by-police-and-is-slammed-in-makeshift-cell-during-g20-summit-%E2%80%93-at-least-one-ontario-mpp-calls-the-whole-episode-%E2%80%9Cshocking/

. . . 57-year-old Thorold, Ontario resident John Pruyn – an employee with Revenue Canada and a part-time farmer who lost a leg above his knee following a farming accident 17 years ago – was sitting on the grass at Queen’s Park with his daughter Sarah and two other young people this June 26, during the G20 summit, where he assumed it would be safe.

As it turned out, it was a bad assumption because in came a line of armoured police, into an area the city had promised would be safe for peaceful demonstrations during the summit. They closed right in on John and his daughter and the two others and ordered them to move. Pruyn tried getting up and he fell, and it was all too slow for the police.

As Sarah began pleading with them to give her father a little time and space to get up because he is an amputee, they began kicking and hitting him. One of the police officers used his knee to press Pruyn’s head down so hard on the ground, said Pruyn in an interview this July 4 with Niagara At Large, that his head was still hurting a week later.

Accusing him of resisting arrest, they pulled his walking sticks away from him, tied his hands behind his back and ripped off his prosthetic leg. Then they told him to get up and hop, and when he said he couldn’t, they dragged him across the pavement, tearing skin off his elbows , with his hands still tied behind his back. His glasses were knocked off as they continued to accuse him of resisting arrest and of being a “spitter,” something he said he did not do. They took him to a warehouse and locked him in a steel-mesh cage where his nightmare continued for another 27 hours. . .

So what was this all about, and why were John and Sue Pruyn arrested if they were part of the gathering of peaceful demonstrators in the Queen’s Park area? Was their crime to dare to come to Toronto in the first place and join with those who express concerns about the G20 and whether it has any concern at all for the environment, for people living in poverty, for fair access to health care and other issues important to people around the world who fall into the category of ‘have nots’?

Pruyn wonders if the idea of the crackdown was to send a message to the public at large that gatherings of opposition to government policies won’t be tolerated. “That is (Prime Minister Stephen) Harper’s attitude,” he said. “He doesn’t like dissent in his own (party) ranks.”

Kormos said some might respond to the crackdown against the G20 summit demonstrators by saying that they should have stayed home or they should not have been there, or that if they were swept up by the police, they should have nothing to worry about if they did nothing wrong. But that misses the point, he said. It misses the possibility that this was another example of the province and country sliding down a path of clamping down on citizens’ right to gather together and express views that may not be popular with the government of the day.

Kormos stressed again that a public inquiry is needed, not only for those demonstrators arrested and roughed up during the summit, but for those shop owners in Toronto that had their stores vandalized by a horde of hooligans with little apparent presence of police officers to prevent it.

Asked if there was any possibility a few hundred black-clad vandals were allowed to run wild to make the thousands of people there to demonstrate peacefully look badly, Kormos responded; “That’s why we need a public inquiry.”

Susan Pruyn agreed. “ We need a public inquiry for all of the people who went (to Toronto) with good intentions and who ended up suffering that weekend,” she said.

Although One Billion Dollars of taxpayers' hard earned cash was spent on "security", a handful of young militants who made the Top 20 Most Wanted G20 List, weren't stopped from setting cars on fire and breaking into shops; probably because they were paid to run riot, so the government could say " You see, we told you we needed to protect ourselves from anarchists".

I don't think I can bear reading mainstream headlines anymore, even while passing the newspaper stand, only so my dogs can urinate. "Plus ca change . . . "

Alternative sources of universal energy you can tap into for free were rediscovered by people like Nikola Tesla - although the J.P. Morgans of the world are still repressing the same findings.

Ignorance is NOT bliss in this case as the Gulf disaster loudly shouts out to the world's population. In the event you don't know how oil prices are arrived at and who's in bed with whom. Here's the run down:

SOURCE: http://memes.org/kuwait-owns-bp-and-all-bp-oil-comes-us-and-bp-ships-oil-kuwait-then-kuwait-sells-it-back-us

Kuwait Owns 27% of BP; 95% Of BP Oil comes from US; BP refine/stores it in Texas; Kuwait Sets price; Sells it in US! Our OWN OIL

Oil in the U.S. never leaves the country! It's our own oil! if Bush and Rice DIDN'T KNOW about this...they are the worst freaking "oil men" on earth! That's how it works, people!

BP pumps US oil from Oklahoma, pumps it into a pipe in Tulsa that is owned by Caltex (BushChevron) from whence it flows to a "Texas" refinery owned by BP or Shell (a subsidiary of BP) where the crude is converted into gasoline, where it is stored in BP/Shell/Amoco/Kuwaiti/Royal Family storage tanks in Midland Texas ... at which time the Kuwaitis and the Saudi Royal Family "PRICE IT" at $100.00 barrel, and then redistribute it on BP trucks back to Oklahoma and the rest of us.

We're BUYING OUR OWN FREAKING OIL BACK FROM BIN LADEN'S FATHER IN LAW and it NEVER leaves the US. Screw BUSH! As an American Citizen...and member of the Federal Bar..I hereby authorize the Federal Authorities of the the District of Columbia to arrest George W. Bush and Cheney on the charge of Treason. subscribed and signed, under penalty of perjury...zorro!

Rise Up rise up!

If all this doom and gloom is getting you down, That's not my intention. I despise the fearmongers and hate baiters that perpetuate divisive and fanatic behaviour BUT being half alive is not the answer and does even more damage.

As Edmund Burke said " All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. " So my first suggestion is to get off our collective complacent arses and move towards an organized empowerment of the individual, at no cost to the welfare of any living thing.

How do we do that?

Forget the self-help to nirvana books and DVDs. It's your butt on the line and you are the only one who can do anything directly to line it up on the path of freedom.

First step: find your place of peace. No not the navel gazing, love and light, Pollyanna lotus eaters bliss. The joy that you experienced as a kid when you weren't programmed and didn't give a damn about what other people thought about you.

Here's a way to let go and get there by not forgetting that the body is a vehicle (ask any athlete who's experienced second wind euphoria from their own endorphin system).

A child Ignored

tamurile@godboxcafe.com (Tamurile) — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 06:51:34 PDT

This speech was made at the UN in 1992 by a thirteen year old girl. Clearly her plea fell on deaf ears. We had martial law here in Toronto thanks to the G20 summit and I am certain, with this level of security, the gathering was not to discuss the issues Severn Suzuki mentioned in her speech.

SHe said if you can't fix it stop breaking it. The earth is still hermmorhaging in the Gulf while these jokers drink and laugh it up here on the public's dime. God help the children because these people are NOT.

Now is the time to rise until lambs become lions!

tamurile@godboxcafe.com (Tamurile) — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 07:26:58 PDT

It was bad enough that the tyrants of industry decided to nuke the moon last October but now these greed driven psychopaths are letting the earth hemmorhage at the Gulf deliberately ( and if you doubt that ask yourself why the leader of BP petroleum sold millions worth of his stock right before the disastrous failure in pipe mechanism to hold ).

Another indicator is the following issues that are NOT getting attention in the media but are crucial and WILL affect YOUR daily lives VERY SOON:

SOURCE: http://www.infowars.com/ten-stories-in-the-news-that-the-bp-oil-spill-is-overshadowing/

The mainstream media is running a 24 hour news cycle focusing purely on the BP oil spill, a disaster, as we have shown, that is being intentionally hyped in order to sell cap and trade legislation and moves to nationalize big business.

In the wake of this, big important news stories are being overlooked. Here are just some of the stories, in no particular order, that you should be hearing on the nightly news, but of course, are not.

1. Israeli nuclear submarines positioned close to Iran:

Three German-built Israeli submarines equipped with nuclear cruise missiles are to be deployed in the Gulf near the Iranian coastline.

The first has been sent in response to Israeli fears that ballistic missiles developed by Iran, Syria and Hezbollah, a political and military organisation in Lebanon, could hit sites in Israel, including air bases and missile launchers.

The submarines of Flotilla 7 — Dolphin, Tekuma and Leviathan — have visited the Gulf before. But the decision has now been taken to ensure a permanent presence of at least one of the vessels.

**

2. Iran war propaganda:

US intelligence has shown Iran could launch an attack against Europe with “scores or hundreds” of missiles, prompting major changes to US missile defenses, Pentagon chief Robert Gates said on Thursday.

The anti-Iran rhetoric has amplified following the revelation that many Bilderberg members, including Zbigniew Brzezinski, are now in favor of U.S. air strikes on Iran and are “leaning towards war,”.

“Some of them in Europe are saying no we shouldn’t do it but most of them are in favor of American air strikes on Iran,” Bilderberg sluth Jim Tucker relayed from the recent meeting in Spain. “They’re tilting heavily towards green lighting a U.S. attack on Iran.”

3. The continuing economic slide:

The greatest bankster heist in history and the looming greatest depression rumbles on.

Gold has hit record highs as the dollar slumps and the Euro continues to face complete collapse. Unemployment figures in the U.S. are through the roof and U.S. consumer prices posted their largest fall in nearly 1-1/2 years in May.

Rumours in Europe persist regarding an impending bailout for spain, while Russia says it is ready to found a “new economic world order“.

4. FCC ready to restrict the Internet:

The federal government would have “absolute power” to shut down the Internet under the terms of a new US Senate bill being pushed by Joe Lieberman, legislation which would hand President Obama a figurative “kill switch” to seize control of the world wide web in response to a Homeland Security directive.

Lieberman has been pushing for government regulation of the Internet for years under the guise of cybersecurity, but this new bill goes even further in handing emergency powers over to the feds which could be used to silence free speech under the pretext of a national emergency.

5. Obama/Blagojevich story

As the Blagojevich trial continues and important details emerge, linking Obama to possible political corruption, Federal prosecutors are seeking a gag order to keep the ex-Governor and his lawyers from making public comments.

6. UN small arms treaty

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton recently announced that the Obama Administration would be working hand in glove with the U.N. to pass a new “Small Arms Treaty.”

Congressman Paul Broun warns that, “With willing one-world accomplices in Washington, D.C., gun-grabbers around the globe believe they have it made.” Broun characterizes the U.N.’s Small Arms Treaty as “nothing more than a massive, GLOBAL gun control scheme.”

The treaty would force national governments to acquiesce to a global gun registry, while strengthening licensing procedures so as to make it almost impossible for a citizen to legally purchase a gun. It would also ban the private sale of semi-automatic weapons and ultimately lead to the confiscation and destruction of all “unauthorized” firearms owned by citizens.

By encapsulating the gun grab within a treaty, the Obama administration could claim that no Senate approval is needed to authorize any such move against the right to bear arms – although whether a treaty trumps the Constitution is a very murky area of debate.

7. Mexicans riot in LA/Land given over to Mexico

Violent scenes following the LA Lakers’ championship-clinching win over the Boston Celtics in the NBA finals saw angry mobs smashing their way through the streets waving Mexican flags as they went.

Meanwhile, a massive stretch of Arizona has become effectively off limits to Americans, Prompting questions over whether the Obama administration is giving a major strip of the south-west back to Mexico.

8. Obama Plans To Sneak Through Carbon Tax By Stealth

President Obama is planning to sneak through his job-killing, economy wrecking carbon tax by stealth according to the Washington Post, by passing a weakened bill and then adding in cap and trade provisions after the heat is off following the November elections.

Described as the “lame duck climate strategy,” Obama is planning to secure enough votes in the Senate to pass a weakened energy bill and then drag out the conference long enough to ensure the stronger provisions contained in the original House version are added “after lawmakers have faced voters in November, thereby cushioning the vote’s political impact.”

9. Afghanistan Mineral Riches Story Is War Propaganda

News that the U.S. has suddenly discovered $1 trillion-worth of mineral deposits in Afghanistan, and descriptions of the bounty as a “game changer” by the corporate media, represent nothing more than crude war propaganda designed to reinvigorate public support for a failing and ever more pointless occupation.

The “newly discovered” riches have been known about since the 1970s and further revelations indicate that the Pentagon report cited by the New York Times as their source for the story did not even mention the untapped mineral deposits in Afghanistan.

10. Free Speech Gag Bill Moving in House

H.R. 5175, The so-called DISCLOSE Act would severely limit the ability of political groups to communicate to their members and the general public.

Politico reports that , the NRA bargained for an exemption for itself and other large, established groups while trampling the rights of private citizens, new political groups, like Ron Paul’s Campaign for Liberty, and other small organizations.

As John Bresnahan reports, “The proposal would exempt organizations that have more than 1 million members, have been in existence for more than 10 years, have members in all 50 states and raise 15 percent or less of their funds from corporations… The NRA, with 4 million members, will not actively oppose the DISCLOSE Act, according to Democratic sources.”

FAKE EMPIRE

tamurile@godboxcafe.com (Tamurile) — Sun, 20 Jun 2010 07:16:39 PDT

THE best song I've heard all year thanks to my son's recommendation!

by THE NATIONAL

Lyrics: Stay out super late tonight
picking apples, making pies
put a little something in our lemonade and take it with us
were half-awake in a fake empire
were half-awake in a fake empire

Tiptoe through our shiny city
with our diamond slippers on
do our gay ballet on ice
bluebirds on our shoulders
were half-awake in a fake empire
were half-awake in a fake empire

Turn the light out say goodnight
no thinking for a little while
lets not try to figure out everything at once
Its hard to keep track of you falling through the sky
were half-awake in a fake empire
were half-awake in a fake empire

A Step in the right Direction

SOURCE: http://famousyoungsuccessfulentrepreneur.blogspot.com/2009/09/e-waste-management-new-age-recycling.html

With fast developments in technology and innovations taking place everyday, people hardly take time in discarding old electronic products and gadgets. Be it cell phones, laptops, desktops or anyother electronic item, their life span has shorten drastically and they are discarded pretty soon. So the milion dollar question that comes to my mind is where do these millions of computers, mobile phones and electronic items go, after been discarded.
It comes to this Hi-Tech junkyard based at Roorkee in India. In a country like India where recycling waste is totally an unorganised sector, Rohan Gupta saw a huge opprtunity in organising this activity.

Attero Recycling was founded by Rohan Gupta and Nitin Gupta in the year 2007 with an objective of providing an environmentally friendly solution to the problem of e-waste. Attero Recycling, an integrated end-to-end electronic waste (e-waste) recycling company. At Attero, they look at e-waste not just as waste, but as an important resource that can be made useful instead of shunning it as a social and environmental burden. With their fully automated facility for e-waste recycling at Roorkee, a first of its kind metallurgical process and a close technical collaboration with a leading US company, they have not only handled the complete processing of waste but also provided client friendly solutions like pickup of e-waste from the premises and complete data security.

Their project has been funded by VC firms, NEA-Indo US Venture and Draper Fisher Jurvetson. They have developed the technology for recycling non-reusable plastic as well as their own metallurgical process. Attero conducts regular audits to ensure compliance with the Health Environment and Safety standards. They believe that every contribution can make a difference in reducing the e-burden on society and protect nature from the growing E-Waste menace.

Attero’s plant is equipped to extract 98% of materials such as copper, lead, nickel, zinc, plastic, iron, silver and even gold to an extent. Attero has tied up with LG for a mobile ‘takeback’ campaign with drop boxes at 50 LG centres. The company has collected 300-400 tonnes of e-waste and plans to do about 1,000 tonnes a month initially and reach 3,000 tonnes a month in the next 4-5 years. It has also tied up with corporates such as LG, Perot Systems, KPMG, Visa and Tata DIESL to collect e-waste and in turn plants saplings for free within their campuses for each computer they pick up.
Founders of Attero:

Nitin Gupta graduated with an MBA degree from NYU Stern School of Business and a B.Tech degree in Electrical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi.

Rohan Gupta was the co-founder and COO at Cinesprite Pvt. Ltd (a leader in online movie entertainment in India). He has previously worked at blue chip companies like SAP Labs. Rohan graduated with a B.E degree in Chemical engineering from REC Jaipur and is a man with innovative and intelligent strategies, which have the potential to take Attero to newer heights.

Wake Up Call

tamurile@godboxcafe.com (Tamurile) — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 08:45:09 PDT

Viva Espana! WHY don't we do the same here in Canada with 1 BILLION $$ being spent on security for the G20 summit - a gathering of so-called "elected" world leaders who are supposedly discussing policies for the good of the public behind closed doors that the public can't get past.

SOURCE: http://mikephilbin.blogspot.com/2010/06/catalan-police-force-issue-club.html

American Free Press's Mark Anderson, reporting from the last day of the Sitges Bilderberg meeting in eastern Spain, dropped the reporting BOMBSHELL that the Catalan Police Force, who were contracted by 'Club
Bilderberg' (as it's known in Europe) to protect their global elitist members, has submitted an official complaint in the form of a Catalan Police Union Press Release to the local Sitges newspaper stating, "The abuse of the public police force as a Private Army to enforce a corporate regime such as Club Bilderberg is a bad use of resources."

Wow!

This is an official kick in the crotch to the New World Order. The peopleare finally waking up. This is ALL OVER the Spanish media, so why is thislatest meeting of this Shadowy Cabal NOT being reported all over the mainstream press, again?????

Late breaking news: warranted as a 'war criminal' in Spain and 'still alive despite reports to the contrary', Herr Henry Kissinger ABOVE has been photographed in attendance @ Club Bilderberg, this year.
