We are in the time of the 7th Fire. The Seventh Fire is an American Indian prophecy that points toward a new way of conscious and cooperative living and being for all humans. We are the people of the 7th Fire: Neesh-wa-swi' ish-ko-day-kawn'.

The path of life need not be difficult; in fact it is simply natural, probably far easier than living the way in which we may have been accustomed. We are already here now but just may not yet see it, instead perhaps still insisting on a life of limitation rather than soaring beyond mind and imagination.

We invite you to explore here to find the tools that help you discover your own natural heritage of wisdom and power in all areas of life: in the realms of mind, environment, health and nutrition, home and garden, science and spirituality, finances, politics and society, relationships, and more, with a spirit of wonder and humor. Here you will find empowerment to walk your earth journey, freely, in balance between heart and mind, mindful of the Original Instructions to love, honor and respect all beings in the web of life.

The Nine ruled on Monday in U.S. v. Jones (PDF here) that planting a GPS tracking device on a person’s car without a valid court order constitutes an illegal search and therefore violates the Fourth Amendment. Which is wonderful – and right – except it’s the exception that violates the rule.
Justices rule against police, say GPS surveillance requires search warrant, 1/25/12

Ron Paul has long opposed the TSA and has campaigned for its abolishment for years. Following an episode on Monday that left his son, Sen. Rand Paul, stranded in a Nashville airport, the presidential hopeful is asking for help to finally end the TSA.

Our planet is being bombarded by high-energy particles unleashed by the strongest solar storm since 2005, scientists say.
The charged particles are mostly a concern for satellites - which they can disrupt - and astronauts.
But they can also cause communication problems for aircraft travelling near the poles.

Both National Public Radio and Public Broadcasting serve corporate and imperial interests. They're called public to conceal their agenda.
Critics ridicule NPR as National Pentagon or Petroleum Radio for good reason. It's true as well for PBS. Calling it Propaganda Public Broadcasting more accurately explains its mandate.
Listeners and viewers lose out. Those supporting both monetarily are cheated. Each receives generous government and corporate funding. In return, they know what's expected and don't disappoint.

Al-Media, not Al-Qaeda, is the biggest threat to Western freedom and global security.
The goal of Al-Media is to destroy the United States of America, erase the traditions of law and liberty in the West, and sell to the West a technological slave system disguised as a “new world order.”
The information terrorists in Al-Media, aka the pundits, news anchors, and journalists, concealed the real perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks from public view and directed the world on the false trail of Jihadi terrorists.

Noah and his family warned of a coming flood. He was likely ridiculed for building a boat in his front yard and driving everyone else’s property value down. Flood? What flood?
You can’t hide a flood but you can hide a financial implosion. The financial day of Armageddon occurred some time in the recent past and it is government’s job to keep the suicide rate down and to calm the masses and act like everything is normal. The goal is to keep the women shopping. The Super Bowl serves as an excellent distraction. It’s just a temporary recession, right? No, it’s the financial collapse of modern civilization and it is being papered over. If you blinked your eyes, you probably missed it. But then you probably sleep better than I do.

I haven't read a news item in 30 years that didn't indict our form of government and confirm me in my anti-state view. And if I have run across some news item or some move made by government that actually was a good move, I've forgotten what it was because it has been buried so deeply in the heap of bad moves. And this item about secretly spraying populations with chemicals and microbes just adds to the heap of bad news about the state.

Like the founding of America, we've yet again been given another chance to flourish. These chances only seem to come along very rarely. Before the founding of America, the last time there was an attempt at escape from the control of the state was nearly two thousand years ago with Jesus the anarchist.
And, for thousands of years, many people have been awaiting a return of "the savior". The savior could be the internet. Jesus, in many ways, was the top anarchist of his time, fighting against the depredations of the state for freedom.
Fight against any and all government control of this space. This space doesn't even exist physically. It exists virtually, but it is just as important as any locale in terms of your ability to access information and to make free your mind.
You've been able to access information you never thought even existed thanks to the internet. I know I have. And the governments of the world don't like this. Fight to retain this ability. If we lose this, all is lost.
Sadly, the internet is the last free place on Earth. We have to go virtual to escape government oppression at this point. And if we lose this, there is no hope for humanity. If we retain it, the future will be full of prosperity and peace unlike any we've ever known. If we lose it? We don't even want to think about it.

Google is experimenting with a new signup form that eliminates the ability to create anonymous accounts.

As technology continues to advance at an exponential rate, will we someday find ourselves living in a "scientific dictatorship" where virtually everything that we do, say and think is monitored and controlled by technology? To many of you that may sound like a wild assertion, but just keep reading. Our world is changing faster than ever before, and scientists have some absolutely wild things planned for our future. As you read this, they are feverishly developing edible microchips, cutting edge biometric identity systems, and mind reading computers. Many futurists envision a world where someday nearly all humans are embedded with microchips and have thousands of tiny nanobots living inside of them. The idea is that we can "take control of our own evolution" and use technology to "improve" humanity. But very few of those futurists address the potential downsides. The truth is that all of this technology could one day be used by a totalitarian government to establish a dystopian nightmare where nobody has any liberties and freedoms whatsoever.

Lawmakers have begun to jump ship following a day of protest against the draconian internet legislation, the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Senate version of the bill, the Protect IP Act (PIPA).
As many major websites such as Wikipedia and Google participated in a “blackout” in opposition to the bills, several former co-sponsers of the legislation have reversed their positions and retreated away from the bills.

A series of unexplained noises are being reported across the globe and the frequency of these events appear to be increasing. The sounds range in description from “bizarre and creepy” to “industrial and mechanical.” The sounds appear to be omni-directional and seem to have no single traced source of origin or horizontal source of degree graduation- leaving one with the impression they are coming from directly overhead or directly underneath the earth. The videos below are reports of the unexplained acoustic phenomenon. Are these sounds omens of an impending disaster, or the deep-churching in the Earth an indication the lithosphere is becoming unsettled, mistpouffers, or something else? You decide.

The same voices who brought us the illegal, tragic, and ill-advised war with Iraq will continue to try to dominate the national conversation with battle cries against Iran.

The emergence and rise of the Praetorian Class is a common observation in societies that have transitioned from market-based meritocracies to societies governed by coercive syndicates formed by the Political Class. The Praetorian Class is formed and grown to defend the Political Class and in time becomes the dragon that rules its master. It represents a highly disturbing trend because it foretells the decline, not the advance, of a society. In some instances, the decline is peaceful, clearing the path for an improved future. Unfortunately, in many instances that is not the case. The Political Class leverages the full force of the Praetorian Class representing significant loss in wealth, personal freedom and, in many cases, human life. For this reason, it is critical that productive members of society take steps to protect themselves.

While we applaud President Obama (yes, we agree with him on this move) for formally issuing a veto threat, we remain skeptical of his motivations. This being an election year, the last thing the President needs to be dealing with along with the economic crisis and tensions in the middle east, is the protests of millions of voters who would have undoubtedly taken to the streets when access to their favorite web sites like Youtube, Google, Facebook, and Twitter were shut down because of alleged SOPA violations.
Moreover, we aren't one bit convinced that this veto was done in the interests of free expression, as the administration may claim. In November, the President issued a similar veto threat about the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which allows for the detention of American citizens determined to be threats to national security and public safety on the domestic (U.S.) battlefront. He flip-flopped on the issue just a couple of weeks later, and signed the bill into law over New Year's weekend to complete silence from the mainstream media.
It is our view that SOPA, in one form or another, will return with a vengeance.

Smart pills that tell patients and their doctors if medication is being taken properly are to go on sale in Britain.
Patients take their drugs along with an extra tablet embedded with a tiny edible sensor which sends back information to a receiver in the form of a patch worn on the shoulder or arm.
This tracks when the drugs were taken and the dose, as well as monitoring heart rate and body temperature. It also alerts a patient to when the next dose is due and records whether the patient is sleeping well or taking enough exercise.

The Dual Ridge Metal Boutique tissue boxes sold at Bed, Bath & Beyond stores have been discovered to be radioactive. Made with the extremely dangerous material used to blast cancer tumors with radiation -- cobalt-60 -- they emit gamma rays that are known to cause both cancer and infertility. They were manufactured in India, shipped on a commercial container to New Jersey, and then distributed to Bed, Bath & Beyond stores in 20 states.

America's on a slippery slope toward full-blown tyranny. Freedom hangs by a thread. Anyone challenging state power is vulnerable. Constitutional protections don't apply.

Below are the photos of a garden at the Supermarket of Hua Ho Department Store Manggis in Brunei Darussalam. The vegetable are were grown using the soil less gardening method called hydroponics. According to experts, food and water are fed directly to the roots in hy. This enables the plants to spend more energy growing the part above the surface, thus growing two times faster.
Since the vegetables were displayed without removing them from their growing media, customers can surely buy a very fresh vegetable. This display technique is also done by other stores in Brunei.

The federal schools are taking Americas' children prisoner one step at a time under myriad federal "guidelines" designed to shape and mold them into propagandized, mindless, collectivist soldiers who will worship the conventional wisdom that will dictate every aspect of their lives. Nowadays, almost any act of tyranny in the schools can be justified by "concerns" about obesity and health (or now, bullying). In the modern American totalitarian tradition, serfdom is sold as the ideal freedom in order to "protect" the sheeple and keep them all safe and healthy.

Freedom of speech is a well established right in this country and rooted in the 1st Amendment. ”Congress shall make no law [. . .] abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press”. The U.N.’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights Article 19 reads, “Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.” Within the United States and our jurisprudence there are some exceptions to this freedom, but by in large (up to this point in history) the restrictions are both reasonable and necessary: the Miller test for obscenity, child pornography laws, laws prohibiting speech that incites imminent lawless action, restrictions on fighting words, regulation of commercial speech such as advertising, copyright and patent laws protecting authors and inventors control over their work, and the prohibition of slander and defamation.
Let’s be clear here that the subject isn’t just free speech, but anonymous political free speech.

Any normal person found guilty of stealing $40,000 from, say, a bank or an employer, would likely be sentenced to at least five years of prison. But when you work for the US Transportation Security Administration (TSA), you can expect to be given special legal treatment and sent on your way.

In case you missed the story — which was easy to do, because most Americans neither cared about it nor understood it — let me give you a condensed version of what happened.

Obama Shreds The Constitution Again, 1/13/12

Are we raising the stupidest generation in American history? The statistics that you are about to read below are incredibly shocking. They indicate that U.S. high school students are basically as dumb as a rock. As you read the rest of this article, you will be absolutely amazed at the things that U.S. high school students do not know. At this point, it is really hard to argue that the U.S. education system is a success. Our children are spoiled and lazy, our schools do not challenge them and students in Europe and in Asia routinely outperform our students very badly on standardized tests. In particular, schools in America do an incredibly poor job of teaching our students subjects such as history, economics and geography that are necessary for understanding the things that are taking place in our world today. For example, according to a survey conducted by the National Geographic Society, only 37 percent of Americans between the ages of 18 and 24 can find Iraq on a map of the world. According to that same survey, 50 percent of Americans between the ages of 18 and 24 can't even find the state of New York on a map. If our students cannot even find Iraq and New York on a map, what hope is there that they will be able to think critically about the important world events of our day?

How should people prepare for the difficult years that are coming? I get asked about that a lot. Once people really examine the facts, it is not too hard to convince them that an economic collapse is coming. But once they accept that reality, most of them want to know what they can do to prepare themselves and their families for the hard times that are ahead. Well, the truth is that it does not have to be complicated. Many of the things discussed throughout this article are things that most of us should be doing anyway. Now is not the time to be splurging on luxuries or expensive vacations. Now is not the time to be going into large amounts of debt. Instead, we all need to get back to the basics and we all need to do what we can to become more independent of the system. Just remember what happened back in 2008. Millions of Americans lost their jobs and millions of Americans lost their homes. Now experts all over the globe are warning that another great financial crisis that could be just as bad as 2008 (or even worse) is coming. Those that don't take the time to prepare this time are not going to have any excuse.

By now, you’re undoubtedly aware of BPA, or bisphenol A, and its ubiquitous presence in can liners, plastics, and even receipts. I wrote about its status as a xenoestrogen with the ability to interact with hormonal receptors in animal bodies, as well as its potentially deleterious effects on humans – especially tiny growing humans – and the general takeaway is that avoiding BPA as much as possible is in all our best interests. We can’t avoid everything, but we can do a fairly good job of it. Luckily, the consumers (that’s you) have spoken up loud enough to get companies to pay attention to the way they line their cans so that while BPA remains a pervasive issue, more and more BPA-free products are being introduced. This is good, but which ones are BPA-free isn’t always evident. Grocery stores don’t generally have a BPA-free section (how awesome would that be?) and some (like Trader Joe’s) don’t even put the label on their products.

Many of us have, within our Bug Out Bag some kind of basic survival fishing rig (like those sold at Ready Made Resources or Camping Survival) be it a simple hook, line, and sinker tucked away in a plastic case, in the handle of a survival knife, a pill bottle, plastic pack or metal tin, or a slightly more elaborate setup that might include a small fishing reel and telescopic rod or a small Yo-Yo fishing reel. Regardless of what rig you possess at the time TSHTF, it is important to have some general knowledge and ability in order to accomplish the desired outcome while fishing—and that is catching fish. Let’s face it, those of us that have never fished for anything with the exception of the remote control between the cushions of the sofa, could benefit from some tips to increase our chances, especially if it means the difference between a much needed meal or going hungry for yet another day.

Current events in India should serve not just as a warning, but also as a foreshadowing of the events to come in the Western world, specifically the United States.
Recently, India has launched a nationwide program involving the allocation of a Unique Identification Number (UID) to every single one of its 1.2 billion residents. Each of the numbers will be tied to the biometric data of the recipient using three different forms of information – fingerprints, iris scans, and pictures of the face. All ten digits of the hand will be recorded, and both eyes will be scanned.

Don't worry, it's not the end of the world and it's not the first time. It's all been done before. And it will continue to be done for perpetuity until human beings realize that government is slavery, war, theft and death. Until then, we'll be living on some tropical island or beach or out-of-the-way, self-sufficient ranch surrounded by nothing other than mountains, goats and sheep... and hope our HDTV satellite feed or high-speed internet connection stays up long enough to watch the final stages of the collapse.

With them around, the human race will always be divided, we will always be pouring trillions into weapons, we will always kill each other. These people want control of all oil and all gold, and are holding onto it with their fingernails clenched. We are divided, they take everything.we have fallen for their trap obviously.WW3 was planned by Albert Pike even before 1871. It is the Jesuits, Illuminati (26 families); Political elite , and High level Masons that are behind this. WWIII will be the fake Armageddon/Gog and Magog.

So next time you consider gold as an investment, ask yourself why you are buying it. If you're worried about 20% up and down moves, then you are simply speculating on the price of gold. If you're looking for a portfolio diversifier, then you will be willing to accept gold's counter relationship to other asset classes. But if you are truly looking to protect from economic or political collapse, and need an enduring store of wealth, you may want to think like the wealthy class and hold physical gold in a hidden yet easily accessible location.

Despite years of secret pervasive surveillance, terror plots weren't uncovered. Bad guys weren't imprisoned. People were targeted for their race, ethnicity or religion, others for challenging government policy. As a result, America became less, not more, safe.
Its entire character changed. Freedom's now endangered. Dissent can be criminalized. Imperial lawlessness is policy. So is police state justice. After enacting indefinite detentions of US citizens, tyranny arrived in America.

The TSA says that it was a good year for screenings, with the Transportation Security Administration able to snag a lot of suspicious items out of airport check points in 2011.
Were TSA agents using their $8 billion budget to snatch up terror suspects and bring down any attempts at sneaking a bomb onto a Boeing 747? Maybe? But no, there were no monumental TSA catches this year that helped keep the War on Terror alive and well in America.

If that seems like a political lifetime ago, that's because it was; it was back in a time (2007) when he also believed the U.S. should close Guantanamo Bay, restore Habeas Corpus to Muslims around the world and never hold U.S. citizens as enemy combatants.

Third, plan on future bubbles being inflated. Including one in gold mining stocks, which now offer excellent value.

Will there be a cataclysmic event in 2012? And even if there were, how would one prepare for an event that threatens to wipe out billions of people? What we do know is that events such as this have happened in the past, at one point shrinking the human race down to somewhere between 2,000 and 10,000 people. So, it does happen. The Mayan calendar is certainly an end of one cycle and the beginning of another, just as our calendar starts anew each year. Did the Mayans know something we don't? If they did, we'll know about it in less than a year. In the meantime, if an Armageddon-like event is in our future, enjoy your life and the time you spend with your family, do all of those things you've always wanted to do, and leave the rest to God.

Our own government is the real enemy of freedom, and while the goal of the feds and their controllers may be world hegemony, it is not just foreigners who are at great risk. All here in this country are now in the crosshairs of this corrupt government’s wrath, and any who stand in the way will be targeted so long as the government has the upper hand. For the feds to succeed in their efforts to control all, we the people must remain silent. If we remain silent, then we will deserve the slavery and pain that will surely result!

Nightmarish 'supersoldier' ants with huge heads and jaws have been created by activating ancient genes.
Scientists believe the monster ants may be a genetic throwback to an ancestor that lived millions of years ago.
Scientists say they can create the supersoldiers at will by dabbing normal ant larvae with a special hormone - the larvae then develop into supersoldiers rather than normal soldier or worker ants.

One could understand the naivete of such responses from elementary or high school students, but we’re talking about adults of legal voting age, the majority of who have no concept of individual liberty and personal responsibility.
These young adults are the future of our nation and in the nearly twenty years they have attended school they have learned only one way to achieve the American dream: to plunder it from others.

No matter how many times the US Transportation Security Administration (TSA) claims the machines are safe and pose no threat to travelers or personnel, naked body scanners that emit ionizing radiation are, indeed, a very serious health threat. And Dr. Edward Dauer, head of radiology at Florida Medical Center, agrees, having recently come forward to explain that naked body scanners can cause cancer, particularly in those over age 65 and in women who are said to be genetically prone to developing breast cancer.

Bad laws attract bad people to enforce them – while pushing out the good (and semi-good) people. It’s a sort of Gresham’s Law as applied to human society. And more, a sort of authoritarian feedback loop that makes the situation progressively worse as time goes by.

December 31, 2011 will be remembered as a day of infamy. More on it below. October 17, 2006 was an earlier one under Bush.
In a White House ceremony, he signed the infamous Military Commissions Act (MCA). It authorized torture as official policy.
It also enacted sweeping unconstitutional powers to arrest, interrogate, and prosecute alleged terrorist suspects and collaborators (including US citizens), detain them (without evidence) indefinitely in military prisons, and deny them habeas and other constitutional protections.
It lets presidents call anyone anywhere an "unlawful enemy combatant," order them arrested, detained and denied all rights.

In short, if you want to ensure travel freedom you should look to get a second passport right now... if for no other reason than it only takes a small arrest or having your son sell bunnies illegally and you may soon receive a bill you just cannot pay.

Corruption, betrayal, and lies -- these are the adjectives appropriate to describe the legacy that President Barack Obama is etching into the annals of his political career -- and they are ones that are now further solidified after signing the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
Obama signs into law unconstitutional NDAA after promising to veto it, 1/2/12

In the aftermath of the signing of the NDAA by the traitorous President Obama, some citizens remain completely hoodwinked by the language of the bill, running around the internet screaming that the law "does not apply to American citizens."
This is, naturally, part of the side effect of having such a dumbed-down education system where people can't even parse the English language anymore. If you read the bill and understand what it says, it clearly offers absolutely no protections of U.S. citizens. In fact, it affirms that Americans are subjected to indefinite detainment under "existing authorities."
Let's parse it intelligently, shall we?
Yes, the NDAA does apply to Americans, 1/1/12

According to the FBI, over 1.5 million background checks on customers were requested by gun dealers to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System in December. Nearly 500,000 of those were in the six days before Christmas.

It has been said that children are our future, and right now the vast majority of our children are being "educated" in public schools that are rapidly being turned into indoctrination centers and prison camps. Our children desperately need to focus on the basics such as reading, writing and math, but instead a whole host of politicians, "education officials" and teachers are constantly injecting as much propaganda as they possibly can into classroom instruction. Instead of learning how to think, our children are continually being told what to think. Not only that, our children are also being trained how to live as subservient slaves in a Big Brother police state. Today, nearly everything that children do in public schools is watched, monitored, recorded and tracked. Independent thought and free expression are greatly discouraged and are often cracked down upon harshly. If students get "out of line", instead of being sent to see the principal they are often handcuffed, arrested and taken to the police station. In addition, law enforcement authorities are using weapons such as pepper spray and tasers against young students in our public schools more than ever before. Children in U.S. public schools are not learning how to live as strong individuals in the "land of the free and the home of the brave". Rather, they are being trained how to serve a Big Brother police state where control freaks run their entire lives. If we continue to allow all of the liberty and freedom to be systematically drained out of our school children, then there is not going to be much hope for the future of this nation.
28 Signs That U.S. Public Schools Are Rapidly Being Turned Into Indoctrination Centers And Prison Camps, 12/30/11

By this act of secession, I do not make the arrogant assumption of speaking for other sovereign, free-born individuals. This declaration is relevant only to me and not to any other sovereign individuals known personally to me or related by birth. However, I encourage other like minded individuals to do the same. I encourage and even implore them to stand up for their lives, liberties and property. I passionately advise they throw off the yoke of bondage that inhibits, strangles, and even kills them, destroys and steals their wealth and property, and poisons the futures of all who seek to live unchained. No shedding of blood or violent extremism is necessary. Just take the time to officially declare withdrawal of your consent.

New light bulb efficiency standards will begin phasing in on Jan. 1 despite intense opposition from conservatives, who have blasted the rules as a textbook unnecessary federal regulation.
While Republicans secured inclusion of a measure blocking funding for enforcement of the standards in a year-end spending bill, energy efficiency groups say the provision will have little practical impact. The Energy Department rules will nonetheless go into effect at the start of 2012.

1. Rights belong to individuals, not groups; they derive from our nature and can neither be granted nor taken away by government.
2. All peaceful, voluntary economic and social associations are permitted; consent is the basis of the social and economic order.
3. Justly acquired property is privately owned by individuals and voluntary groups, and this ownership cannot be arbitrarily voided by governments.
4. Government may not redistribute private wealth or grant special privileges to any individual or group.
5. Individuals are responsible for their own actions; government cannot and should not protect us from ourselves.
6. Government may not claim the monopoly over a people's money and governments must never engage in official counterfeiting, even in the name of macroeconomic stability.
7. Aggressive wars, even when called preventative, and even when they pertain only to trade relations, are forbidden.
8. Jury nullification, that is, the right of jurors to judge the law as well as the facts, is a right of the people and the courtroom norm.
9. All forms of involuntary servitude are prohibited, not only slavery but also conscription, forced association, and forced welfare distribution.
10. Government must obey the law that it expects other people to obey and thereby must never use force to mold behavior, manipulate social outcomes, manage the economy, or tell other countries how to behave.

Many people think that government provides some service. That is true, but it is incidental. Governments often deliver the mail. But they don’t have to. They would still be governments even if they didn’t control the Post Office. And what if they didn’t have a department of inland fisheries, or a program to teach retarded democrats to count to 20? They would still be in the government business…and still have their helicopters, chauffeurs and expense accounts. But if they lost control of the police or the army it would be an entirely different matter. Force is the essence of government, not a decorative detail. Without armies and police, they would no longer be governments. It is “from the barrel of a gun,” as Mao put it, that political power projects itself.

September 11, 2001, is another date that will live in infamy. The tragic events that occurred on this day have forever changed the United States, and the world. Like similar events in history, it served as a catalyst, creating a flurry of new rules, regulations and, as we now see, serious restrictions on the freedoms we once had. Just as Pearl Harbor launched America into WWII, and the burning of the Reichstag building in Germany granted untold powers to Hitler, 9/11 has allowed America to demonstrably flex its muscles around the world, while at the same time, severely limiting our civil liberties here at home. In one fell swoop, it enabled the government to deal with many nagging problems. If one didn’t know better, I’d have to say that 9/11 was exactly what the doctor ordered.

Contrary to claims made by the chemical industry and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that it does not leach into groundwater, the deadly herbicide glyphosate, also known as Roundup, has been found to be fully capable of contaminating groundwater supplies. Published in the journal Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, a new study confirms that glyphosate is far from the benign crop protector that its proponents claim it is, and that it has the potential to cause widespread environmental damage.

A key chemical of one of the most horrifying elements of the Vietnam War -- Agent Orange -- may soon be unleashed on America's farmlands. Considered by world nations to be a "Weapon of Mass Destruction" (WMD), Agent Orange was dropped in the millions of gallons on civilian populations during the Vietnam War in order to destroy foliage and poison North Vietnamese soldiers. The former president of the Vietnamese Red Cross, Professor Nhan, described it as, "...a massive violation of human rights of the civilian population, and a weapon of mass destruction."

There are three types of skin cancer - of which melanoma is the most dangerous and potentially lethal because it can metastasize into other body parts. The other two non-melanoma types, squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma, are treatable and not as threatening or able to metastasize as melanoma.
Most skin cancer cases are of the basal cell carcinoma type, which can destroy surrounding tissue and disfigure facial skin areas if unchecked. It is advisable to check with a dermatologist if you have any unusual new moles or sores that won't heal anywhere on your skin. Skin biopsies are easy to perform.
Mainstream medicine blames the sun for all three types, and recommends sun screen lotions to block sun exposure. But one should take their sloppy science of prevention with several grains of salt.

The countries of the developed world are experiencing a new class of refugee – members of the middle- and upper-class. These rungs of the socio-economic ladder are realizing that their countries of residence are in many ways going rapidly downhill without much hope of a short- or medium-term reversal. This is particularly true for national economies, taxes and regulations, and in terms of deteriorating individual liberty.

Just when we might have thought that our society could not descend further down the rabbit hole comes news that the City of Los Angeles is offering a deal to the "Occupy LA" protesters who await trial for having dared to exercise their First Amendment rights to free speech and peaceable assembly. If these potential defendants will just cough up $355 each and agree to attend a class in "free speech" conducted by a private organization, they can avoid a trial that could result in heavy fines or imprisonment. The LA Chief Deputy City Attorney stated that "the First Amendment is not absolute," a remark that could only have been uttered by one who had never taken the time to read this provision. That Amendment reads, in relevant parts, "Congress shall make no law . . . abridging the freedom of speech, . . . or the right of the people peaceably to assemble." This amendment does not read "Congress shall make no unreasonable law": it reads "no law," a proposition that is about as absolute as one can get. Nor does it say that the state can sell free speech and peaceable assembly rights to those who would like to exercise them, in lieu of going to prison!

When looking for guidance in life people have been known to ask, "What would Jesus do?" After all, Jesus was an anarchist and very principled so it makes sense to look to someone like him after which to model their life.
Today, the closest thing to Jesus in American politics is Ron Paul. Paul is a rarity in politics because he has principles. You can boil down Paul's position on anything by asking, "is it constitutional?". He doesn't flip flop on issues because he sticks to his principles. Does he support the IRS and income tax? No, because it's unconstitutional. Does he support the Federal Reserve and the fiat dollar? No, because it's unconstitutional. And, the reason he believes in the constitution is because he believes it is the best document written to uphold freedom and liberty.
So, when Ron Paul recently released the contents of his investment portfolio ("The Ron Paul Portfolio") as part of his congressional filings we looked on with interest. Would his investments be as principled as the other facets of his life? Would he hold to his convictions about gold as money? In this case, it isn't "What would Jesus do?", it is, "What would Ron Paul own?"

The real crimes in America are not being committed by or planned by private civilians who believe in personal and economic freedom, private property and the philosophy of Live and Let Live, and who want to speak out against intrusions and threats posed by those with armed, compulsory government legal authority and power.
No, the real crimes are those of our government officials who are extremely clueless about liberty and who are totally drunk with power grabs. Seizing and detaining innocent civilians? Suppressing speech and political dissent? "Emergency" camps? Government degenerates and outlaws have become the most dangerous amongst our increasingly vulnerable population under centralized rule.

It's a long way from walking into the local coin shop and buying a few one-tenth-ounce gold Eagles to setting up a trust in a foreign country. But the distance isn't nearly as great as you might imagine, and it will get shorter both in fact and in apprehension with each step you take.
As you move up the ladder, you'll learn about the reporting requirements for US taxpayers. Rung 1 (gold coins in your pocket) entails no reporting, nor does Rung 8 until you actually receive a distribution. Rung 5 (foreign real estate) also is free of reporting requirements, at least for now. But under rules in effect now or soon to come, everything else covered in this article entails filing a form with the US government. The most reliable way to make sure that you stay within the rules, so that internationalization adds to your safety and not to your problems, is to let your accountant know what you are doing. Keep him informed, so that he can see to it that all the reporting requirements are satisfied.

Living in a World Gone Seemingly Mad

Since this website started back in 2001 we have continued to do our best to lift the veils of illusion so that we may all be empowered to see. The truth about the world around us is out there, it is just up to each of us to find it and use the knowledge for the good of the whole. No, this is not a movie, this is life. For far too many people this life has become a nightmare as their struggle to survive in our country or in others is beyond their ability or comprehension.

We all are struggling to understand how the governments and so-called world leaders seem hell bent on destroying our collective health and freedom and what we can most effectively do about it.

Everyone is searching for answers; how has this happened, what is happening to each of us and what do we do to 'fix' it? Perhaps there is no way to 'fix' it, to fix anything collectively until there is a mass melt-down and the reality of what the 'handlers/manipulators/greedy and powerful' will also finally be touched by what they have done.

Surely it is becoming obvious that people all over the world have become beaten down, starved and used by this faction or that and have just had 'enough'. In desperation, many are reaching out, or shrinking in, hurting themselves or others, demonstrating, taking action which may, or may not help themselves or others.

We have all been brainwashed and lied to, and manipulated and enslaved. The next step is for each of us to chose what we wish to do, in order to empower at least ourselves to step out of the matrix, so to speak.

The good news is that each of us is personally, totally responsible for our worlds. Maybe freedom means different things to different people, but to breathe the clean fresh air of 'freedom' means to break free, to think for ourselves, to cast away our belief systems, to not be afraid to step out of the box that we have allowed ourselves to have been put into.

As it is already our true nature, sovereignty is not something to be acquired; rather it is merely our birthright to awaken to. Without our at least unconscious consent, no one can take away our ability to spiritually walk tall again, to be able to look anyone in the eye and know that we are valuable and viable human beings who deserve respect as we extend respect to others. For mankind to evolve into a peaceful, creative, supportive future for all, each one of us has the opportunity to take stock of ourselves, our lives and our loyalties and make appropriate changes which are in tune with the whole.

Listen to wisdom from some of our elders: 1; 2; 3; 4; "In this time there will arise Osh-ki-bi-ma-di-zeeg, a new people who will emerge from the clouds of illusion. They will retrace their steps to find the treasures that had been left by the trail. The stories that had been lost will be returned to them." The place is here; the time is now for each person to examine one's life and actions and find a way back to peace and living in harmony with all things.

Grounding our Awakening in Sanity

Once we have found out who we really are (and who we are not), there are a myriad of practical ways that we can demonstrate our awakening to personal freedom & sovereignty. All that is required is rising to the responsibility that self-honesty brings, along with knowledge of technologies that we can utilize to fulfill the integrity of our being.

Contrary to some mis-presumptions, there is no risk to being sovereign. Sovereignty is simply the choice and innate ability we all have to control our contracts with everyone around us and thus control our own property, starting with our own bodies and minds, being always in honor. In honor means never ignoring or arguing; instead, always accepting or conditionally accepting whatever is in front of us. Usually, whatever that is has nothing necessarily to do with anything else. There is never any need to remain unsure or confused or to act hastily. In all matters, the recommended course of action is: Get necessay groundwork laid; get educated; stay educated and handle deliberately whatever you find in front of you, one step at a time.

Learn to competently play the Game of Commerce and Be Free & Sovereign

Particularly, the above applies to all matters of commerce, including terminating debt, stopping foreclosure, eliminating income tax, repairing credit, going to court, protecting yourself and/or your children from the bullying trespasses of government intrusion and many, many other situations that are demanding our competent response.

One cannot successfully play the game without knowing the rules. The good news is, other than our brainwashing, there is nothing keeping us from knowing the rules. Everything is hidden in plain sight for those of us who have eyes that see.
