Native American Prophesy and World History

August 25th, 2010

If you get the chance, take a look at his video regarding Native American prophesy about the times we are in: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7cylfQtkDg there are several parts, so watch all of them. The elders depicted in these films explain things, both in the historical context and in the prophetic context. They speak about how the United States is basically going to die. They speak about how how out of the top 100 “economic units” in the world, 49 are countries and 51 are corporations. That means that corporations are calling the shots. Today we are living in a fascist corporatocracy… the merger of corporation and state, with the top criminals in Wall Street taking everything they can, plundering all the world, leaving nothing but waste behind. Look around. America is in that unsustainable “age of empire” that has collapsed every other empire we’ve ever seen… including the Roman Empire, British Empire, French Empire and Nazi Germany. We’re already in two war arenas, and our military isn’t doing well. The U.S. is billions and billions in the hole, and most of that money is going to special corporate interests. War is a racket, and the racketeers are in charge. The corporate news media is flogging the upcoming probable war with Iran, which has just been equipped with nuclear power and weapons by the Russians. If we, or Israel, messes with Iran, it is going to be bad. Other markers for this time period include a very probable staged terror event.

We’ve got a short amount of time to get ourselves situated right.

A few people have looked at me like I was crazy when I told them what was coming up in the next few months. Some in the new age community have told me that you manifest what you focus on. Okay… so I have empowered myself to get my ducks in order so I cannot be blindsided by the coming probable economic melt-down. I’ve been loading up on storable foods, I yanked my money out of the bank and stock market, I’ve invested in metals… and I started a garden. With that kind of groundwork done, I have handled my preparations for the future as best I can, and I can focus on manifesting whatever I want from a place of security without the distraction of being worried. Empower yourself to do what you can to get your house in order to lessen the potential for real hardship as you can. The last thing you want to do is rely on the government to help you… remember Katrina? How about the BP oil spill? Nope, you’re on your own if you want to survive and even flourish… and that will take some preparation.

Remember the story about the grasshopper and the ant? The ant worked hard to prepare for the winter while the grasshopper played all summer and then died when winter set in. This economic winter is gonna be a bitch. People are going to die. There will be riots. Like Gerald Celente says, “when people have lost everything and they have nothing left to lose, that is when they lose it.”

The government is actively doing its best to destroy America. All the laws that prevented total corporate takeover have been removed… the anti-trust acts, Glass-Steagall, the regulations that kept consumer banks apart from investment banking… all of it has been dismantled. Remember back in the 1970s and 1980s when we had the big savings and loan scandal and the government had to bail out and then investigate thousands of savings & loans nation wide? Over 5,000 crooked bankers were sent to prison! Now the rules are gone, the accounting guidelines have been rewritten, and the people who used to investigate, aren’t investigating. The big-wigs at Goldman Sachs, AIG, Citibank, and the dozen or so others who crashed the market back in 2007/2008 with their derivatives should really be in prison.

Remember back in the 1970s… after Nixon took us off the last vestiges of the gold standard, it took 2 years for the inflation to hit. The Federal Reserve printed only 13% more money per year over those 2 years, and it translated to a 12% inflation rate. The Fed did a correction by raising the interest rate to 20% to suck the excess money out of the system. The other big difference… we still had our manufacturing base because we hadn’t shipped our jobs overseas. Most of us did pretty well in spite of the high interest, and personally, I was too young/broke at the time to be noticed by Carter’s tax mafia… or Clinton’s for that matter.

Given that it takes 2 years for inflation to hit after they decide to print lots of money… 2008 was when Bush’s TARP bailouts started, followed by all of Obama’s bailouts… he even sent $300 Billion to bail out Greece! Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have $5 TRILLION exposure to the mortgage market, so technically the government is the primary landowner. Bush, Obama and the Fed have increased the money supply some 120% and there is now some $105 TRILLION in government debt, and most of it has gone to big-wig criminals that created the very same set of crises to begin with. That is an ungodly amount of currency. The inflation will likely be hitting this fall… 2 years after the TARP bailout started the ball rolling. We have no idea how high the inflation rate will be, but given the enormity of the situation, it’s likely to be a booger-bear.

We have been looted and now we are being stuck with the bill. People aren’t gonna stand for that, especially when the few that still have jobs and medical benefits see that their premiums have gone up and the insurance coverage they get from their jobs is being taxed as income. I predict massive tax protests. I can also predict that a lot of people are going to quit filing tax returns to fund this nonsense.

The mid-term elections coming up? Bah! Even if nothing but Tea Party type candidates win in this election, that still leaves all the lame ducks in control through January… and with nothing to lose, they will do everything they can to further their crooked agenda in those 3 months.

The Weimar Republic collapsed one currency, paying off their war debt in debased currency, then created a new currency backed by the one thing they had: land. They still couldn’t make an economic recovery, since in the treaty of WWI, the forces for appeasement gave away Germany’s breadbasket, the Sudetenland. When the rest of the world was whooping it up during the roaring 20’s, Germany couldn’t feed itself. It wasn’t long after that when a twerp named Hitler came to power, promising “change”. Having learned the lessons of history, German Chancellor Merkel decided not to debase the German economy, but rather to make it possible to actually make money by not doing a bunch of bailouts and “stimulus”… and they’ve now got a nearly 9 percent GROWTH rate as a result. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/14/world/europe/14germany.html?_r=2&scp=7&sq=german%20economy&st=cse

If the Fed decided to rein it all in this time, how the heck would they do it? I don’t think they can and I really don’t think they intend to. They will most likely continue to print all the money they can until the whole house of cards collapses. They will pay the debts with debased currency, then they will restart the economy with a new currency that is backed by something else. But what? We won’t be allowed to back our currency with OPEC oil any more. We’ve still got oil & gas, lots of real estate (land), minerals of all sorts… of course Obama’s doing his best to stop all of that from being developed. Even if they do have a new currency waiting in the wings (Amero, anyone?) it may not be readily accepted. When they do introduce the new currency, you probably won’t get much in trade for the dollars you’re holding in the bank and stock market now. You might as well beat them to it.

Will a currency changeover be orderly? I kinda doubt it. Obama’s criminal wild bunch have already legislated a bunch of currency controls to keep us from being able to access our money. When the dollar collapses and the hyperinflation hits, there will likely be a protracted “bank holiday” preventing us from having access to our money, and the money will likely have very little value when you can access it. Can you imagine spending your whole paycheck for a loaf of bread? Yeah… that bad.

Can you and your family live on the food, cash and trading goods you have in your house for say… 3 months? How about longer? While you have the chance, start buying food before the prices go up. The grocery stores have to raise the prices on the new, more expensive inventory as they bring it in to replace the old inventory that is being bought up. Buy that $1 can of beans now… don’t wait unti it is $2.50. Load up on closeouts. Make sure you have seasonings to make it taste good. Stock up on what you would want to eat if you got stuck at home for some weeks. You don’t wanna be stuck in a breadline at a FEMA camp.

The Practical Side of Preparing for the Apocalypse

August 18th, 2010

http://www.naturalnews.com/028712_preparedness_survival.html Just got a link to an article about this! And: http://www.infowars.com/u-s-food-prices-spiraling-out-of-control/

I’ve had the guidance to store food for the long haul, Mormon style, for the last year or so. I also got the guidance to get into gardening, which is now slowly paying off. I purchased a FoodSaver System and began buying dry foods in large amounts, say, 25 pounds or more, and then breaking it down into more manageable amounts using the FoodSaver System. I’ve been buying bulk beans of all sorts, rice, quinoa, amaranth, millet, oats, nonfat dry milk, and a whole range of other staples and putting them in suck-wrapped bags of 4 to 7 cups each. In addition to this, every time I hit Sam’s Club, I pick up some extra staples… Spam, canned chicken or turkey, Ro-Tel Tomatoes with Green Chiles, tomato paste and sauce, dried onions, spices… just about anything I can imagine I might need to prepare simple and nutritious meals.

In America, we are at a crossroads. We know the government is rogue, with unabated and up-front corruption, and is going the way of Nazi Germany… massive expansion of power accompanied by runaway inflation and unprecedented taxation. People are already showing their displeasure with both political parties, and are getting more vocal about it. The government is pushing through its corporatist/new world order agenda as fast as it can before the mid-term elections. In short, we can expect things to really get strange.

Living on the Texas gulf coast, I can tell you what cattle people can be based on what has happened during the past few hurricanes. People are short-sighted and stupid… which is to say they are prone to not planning ahead. People are not necessarily good at feeling the situation. I didn’t evacuate during either Hurricane Rita or Ike because I listened to my inner guidance. I even tried to convince my neighbors that they didn’t need to leave, and yet they spent the entire 3 days sitting on a highway in the heat, while I stayed home and relaxed in relative comfort and cooked one nice meal after another. The grocery store shelves were empty 3 days ahead of hurricane landfall. After the hurricane had come and gone, people stood in line for hours outside of local grocery stores, which had very little to sell, but were only letting 5 people at a time inside anyway. The traffic stayed crazy the entire time. It took two months for the grocery store shelves in my area to get back to normal stock levels.

The thing is, the big forecast economists like Gerald Celente and Peter Schiff predict hyper-inflation possibly hitting by the end of this year, and by 2012 at the very latest, causing prices to go up to where most people’s paychecks can’t keep up enough just to put food on the table. That sets the stage for civil unrest, there is the possibility of having to shelter in place… perhaps for weeks. http://www.prisonplanet.com/%e2%80%9cthings-are-never-going-to-get-that-bad%e2%80%9d.html

I can tell you that inflation is already hitting at the grocery stores, and they aren’t carrying the variety they used to.

If the crazies running that whole “new world order” thing manage to pick a war between Iran and Israel, it would probably involve a nuclear exchange and the price of oil would go up. Gas prices could go over $10 a gallon, which would bring most food transport to a screeching halt, and would certainly shove all prices skyward. You’re looking at supply versus demand, and a lot of people caught with their pants down. Depending on the season, we could see riots, or segments of the population starving to death… or dying in FEMA camps. Martial law could become a possibility, with entire neighborhoods closed off by military cordons. It might take a while before things settle down again.

The Mormons have it right… they encourage their families to save as much money as they can and store large amounts of food at home – a three-month supply of what they normally eat and a year’s worth of long-term stocks such as wheat, rice and nuts. Many Mormons also can their own food, and their 140 Mormon storehouses include canneries that stay busy… even more now because of the economy and the number of natural disasters. www.providentliving.org

I’m not a Mormon, but I was reared on the Texas gulf coast. We understood the need for stored water and “hurricane food” that we maintained and cycled through the pantry, and of course, the means to cook a meal, whether charcoal or propane. http://rocketstoves.org/ has how-to material on making a stove that will heat a whole gallon of water with a few twigs as fuel. Or buy one already made from http://www.stovetec.net I’ve certainly got twigs in my yard.

Now, when you buy and repackage bulk foods, you have to get into the concept of cycling this stuff. You have to eat it and replace it. I discovered that this cuts down on food expenses quite nicely, while cleaning up your diet. Believe me, your gut will thank you. If you can only find quinoa at the local health food store for around $5 a pound, and you can buy 25 pounds of it in bulk for $2 a pound, then that is a substantial savings, even with shipping costs. Every dollar you save is worthwhile.

A 12-ounce can of turkey meat, half a cup of brown rice, some non-MSG bullion, a fresh onion, some tarragon, and either a can or packet of frozen mixed veggies makes a really good chicken dish in the rice cooker. For added pop, I make up a packet of biscuit mix and add that in little globs on top to cook… instant dumplings.

I purchased some whole grain brown rice elbow pasta from http://www.sunorganic.com and decided to make macaroni and cheese with it… a little butter, milk, Velveeta, and a pinch each of paprika and turmeric. It is far, far better than any other you’ve ever had.

Please talk to your friends and relatives about this topic. Ask them to at least start buying a few extra pantry staples every time they go to the grocery store. When I mention this among people I work around, it is often the case that someone says that their pastor has been encouraging them to stock up… that’s a good thing. Listen… I’d rather have to give food to the food banks than not have it when I really need it.

Home Depot Observation

August 18th, 2010

My friend in Santa Fe, New Mexico is dealing with some really strange phenomena. New Mexico is melting down and there isn’t a peep about it in the media. Their governor apparently stole billions of dollars from the state, the attorney general is also a crook, the crimelords are running things, and the police can’t be bothered to deal with any crimes that they can’t take a profit from (traffic enforcement). There is no immigration law enforcement. The economy there stinks worse than probably anywhere else. The grocery stores aren’t really stocking much, either, so they line the fronts of the shelves with food and don’t load any stock behind that. The food banks are tapped out and even Costco isn’t carrying anywhere near the variety that we have here in Houston.

So my friend is trying to put some resources together so she can handle the upcoming shifts, and the probable crazy stuff that may very well accompany all of that. I’ve walked down the aisles at Costco and my local grocery store with her on the phone… I tell her what I see and the price and she tells me how much of it to buy for her. I’ve shipped several heavy boxes to her this past month.

The latest thing was that she needed to find a way to store her food stash so the bugs wouldn’t get into it. It needed to be light and air tight. I suggested she go down to Home Depot, which has the 5 gallon paint buckets with the good lids that have rubber o-rings in them. They’re tough to get open once you have filled them and clamped the lid down. Turns out, the Home Depot in Santa Fe is out of them… and has been for some time… and they’re not restocking very much, either. She went all over town trying to find something along those lines, but couldn’t.

This evening after dinner, I went to my local Home Depot, and got my friend the lids, and got myself some buckets and lids as well, among other things. I asked an associate to please check to see if there were any more of the crank-up flashlights… he came back to report there were none. The fellow then asked about why he was seeing so many people loading up on things like these buckets, and emergency type supplies like the batteries and crank radios and the like. I simply explained things as best I could in a nutshell: we’re about to experience hyper-inflation, and people are preparing by pulling their investments out of the banks and stock market and buying food, ammo and metals. I explained that we could see the real poo hit the fan as early as first quarter of next year, but we will likely see obvious price inflation hitting as early as this fall. The man looked at me with glazed, uncomprehending eyes and said that he was glad I was keeping up on these things, as he didn’t have time to. The poor schmuck… he seemed too old to be that stupid.

The experience tells me that a lot of my neighbors here in Houston are paying attention and trying to stock their pantries, if nothing else. I’m glad about that. I’m concerned about the other folks that can’t wrap their heads around what’s going on, hoping that everything will continue bumping along. I try to educate people, but I can’t do their thinking for them. I’m genuinely worried about family members of mine that opt to complain about where the country is heading, and how their 401-Ks are tanking, but aren’t doing anything to be able to handle what looks to be coming up pretty soon. I plan on taking a load of food over to my mom and ask her to “store it for me for a little while” just to get her marginally equipped.

THE SECRET TO TIGHT GUMS…

August 14th, 2010

I just got the ol’ postcard notice from my dentist. This is the same dentist that George Herbert Walker Bush goes to here in Houston. The guy is a real peach, and tries to be gentle. I don’t have the trepidation at the concept of going to the dentist that I used to. I’ve got a handle on a lot of the underlying problems that were giving me hell so many years ago.

Well… last summer, I finally decided to go to the dentist, after having not gone for three years. The hygienist x-rayed me, checked me over and cleaned my teeth, and remarked at how very little plaque I had, and that my gums were amazingly tight. Their main comment was that I had probably been brushing my teeth a little too hard, most probably because I hadn’t been going to the dentist regularly. The dentist himself confirmed this, looking at my information sheet listing the many vitamin and herb supplements that I take, either with every meal, or as I feel the need. These include a whole vitamin C supplement, B-complex, co-enzyme Q-10, MSM, gelatin/silica supplement, Fo-ti, calcium-magnesium-zinc, omega 3-6-9, vitamin D and E, and beta carotene. If I’m fighting an infection, I know to add selenium, olive leaf extract (in capsules) and oregano oil gelcaps to the pile.

I mentioned that I switched to iced tea in place of soda pop, and I use Stevita stevia sweetener in that iced tea. I also munch on ice after meals to clean the teeth, or at least knock off the big chunks. I also switched to non-waxed dental floss, because the unwaxed variety scrubs between the teeth better, and I usually swish with colloidal silver (and I swallow it) instead of regular mouthwash. I also use an “organic” toothpaste without fluoride, that uses essential oils to control bacteria in the mouth. Fluoride, I’ll remind you, not only does nothing whatsoever to help your teeth, but makes you acquiescent to all sorts of abuse (probably the main reason why we’re in the current pickle with our government), and shuts down the pineal gland (the source of most of our psychic ability). Most of the sweets I make at home are sweetened with stevia, xylitol and inulin-FOS, and much cleaner ingredients than you will ever see in the grocery stores. On top of all that, my campaign to get the candida out of my body has definitely helped my gums. All of these differences are very good.

I still needed some serious care at the time… I had one cracked tooth, and a couple of the crappy veneers that the quack dentist put on several years ago (and she cut my gums to do so) were falling off, leaving sharp edges. I needed a crown for that broken tooth, so he took a cast and then installed a temporary crown, then got rid of a couple of amalgam fillings and patched one of the veneers. I got to break the whole bill down into four payments, which helped, though it really took a chunk out of my budget. It kept me from putting any money away for the last four months of 2009 and into 2010, which made paying income taxes a booger-bear.

Listen… my teeth aren’t much to look at. I grew up in an area (South Houston) with a lot of natural fluoride in the water that caused me to have streaky yellow teeth; kind of like horse teeth. That quack dentist on Highway 6 is no longer in that location, and her partner in crime, the endodontist she sent everyone to, is now deaf (she never listened to anyone anyway). The point I’m making is that we have to take care of ourselves the best we can while we are in these fragile bodies. That means questioning the standard medical or dental line and doing our own research. It also means listening to our own bodies. What you do that impacts your dental health, also remarkably impacts the rest of the body in every way, long term.

Earth Medicine

August 14th, 2010

In this instance, I am talking about Diatomaceous Earth.

A little background story first… some years ago, I went to a very bad dentist. The woman was ruthless and incompetent at the same time. She screwed around with everything in my mouth, cutting into gums, replacing enamel with crowns and veneers, and did this screwed up bridge over two teeth where two root canals had been done… both on her watch because the endodontist she sent me to did a half-ass job the first time. I relived the Inquisition every time I went there, and I payed her thousands of dollars for the privilege. In the midst of all this, there were antibiotics… several rounds of them. I went from being on the way to losing some weight, to having my gut in complete upheaval because of a systemic candida albicans infection. I wound up with food allergies. I wound up with my period becoming painful and heavy, and taking way too long. I wound up with mostly chronic diarrhea punctuated by occasional days of not having the runs.

I had been “diagnosed” by several holistic doctors as having leaky bowel syndrome… which actually refers to pinprick holes in the intestine walls leaking into the peritoneum… actually a rare occurrence. After spending thousands of dollars on Chinese herbs and acupuncture, I finally hit upon what was really going on.

I’ve tried a number of things to get the candida under control and out of my system. I did the Hanna Kroeger Candida Formulas I and II, and I supplemented that with Black Walnut capsules… and that did help some… in fact, if my period were really rough, I would hit this stuff and the period would slack off pretty well.

I tried baking soda… as in swallowing several spoonfuls a day, chased by water. Yes, that alkalizes the system, but it couldn’t do it all.

I tried Willard Water… great stuff… but again, it alkalizes the system, but couldn’t do it all. It did give me some comfort and relief. I put the stuff in my cats’ drinking water and it completely healed one cat’s weepy eye that had been scratched by another cat.

At long last, last Friday the 16^th, I followed a friend to a nice feed store on Veterans Memorial Drive, and picked up a big 25 lb. bag of food grade diatomaceous earth for $19.50. That night, I started taking the stuff: one tablespoon in some juice. The stuff is a fine powder that has an astringent smell… you will need something with a reasonably strong taste to get it down.

I’ve been taking one helping in the morning and another at night and I am impressed. Seriously. My food cravings are changing… I want veggies and fruit and nuts like all get-out. My gut is feeling good and my tummy isn’t as poochy. I’ve had NO diarrhea, and what has come out has been really interesting. The stools are large and solid, and it looks like it has scrubbed some oddball stuff out of my body… some kind of fuzzy, wooly stuff.

This morning, Thursday, I noticed that the rosacea on my cheeks was already fading. While it has never been a severe case of the red blotchiness, I don’t like it. It won’t be long before I’ll be down to just using powder foundation without the liquid foundation under it.

Since the basis of diatomaceous earth is silica, I expect my hair to get even better looking. I hope my nails improve as well.

So what else can I do with this humongous bag of D.E.? I’ve given several ziplock bags of it to friends to try out. I’ve put a pinch of it into my cats’ food (you really have to bury it in something moist). The stuff can be used to kill bugs… they walk in it and then when they clean themselves, the tiny diatoms are sharp enough to kill the bugs. I have used D.E. in my garden with some success.

By all means, give this stuff a try. At the very least, it won’t hurt you. It’s cheap and it has numerous applications.

“Quantitative Easing”

August 14th, 2010

http://www.macmillandictionary.com/buzzword/entries/quantitative-easing.html In the world of double-speak economists and politicians, they’ve coined a new phrase in an effort to make inflation not sound quite so bad. “Quantitative easing” is their new term for continuing to print lots and lots of money to inject into the banking system. Since the new money still isn’t backed by anything, it just means that all the other money already floating around out there loses a proportional amount of its value. Now, these days, they may not be actually printing the money on a printing press, but rather just creating the money digitally, which works just as well to dilute the value of the actual greenbacks you have in your wallet. The kind of inflation we’re likely going to be seeing when it kicks in, probably isn’t going to be double or triple digit annual inflation… it’ll likely be a lot worse than that.

Those of us who remember the 1970s may think of that as inflation, which it was, but it was really “STAGFLATION”, which is inflation being held in check by deflation… stagnant. We’re getting out of a stagflation time period, and Obama’s spending spree is turning it into full-tilt inflation. No kidding.

Deflation? The media is also flogging the term “DEFLATION”, which is what Japan has been wrestling with for some years now. In short, deflation is a contraction in the money supply. Friends… deflation would be a “best case” scenario. We ain’t gonna see it. We’ve been set up for a replay of Argentina’s or the post-WWI German Weimar Republic’s hyper-inflationary economic crisis. http://www.americanthinker.com/2010/08/an_argentinalike_economic_cris.html and http://www.shadowstats.com/article/hyperinflation-2010 In short, our manufacturing base has been outsourced, companies are relocating their offices to other countries (like Halliburton) to avoid paying taxes, our main growth industry has been “debt” and “credit” for some years now, and the middle class is collapsing while the money has been channeled to the uppermost 2% of the economic ladder. The really big difference between the U.S. and Japan is that Japan’s people save their money… and there is no incentive for keeping your money in the bank here because the interest rates are so abyssmal. Obama’s policy of taxing the shrinking middle class to pay for everything is going to finish the job that his masters among the Bilderbergs (or whatever you want to call those louts) started under Nixon. They are in the process of building the debt bomb even bigger, then monetizing it by printing lots and lots of money so it won’t look so bad. We’re staring at LOTS of inflation, folks. Some possible scenarios as to what we might expect have been compiled in an article by Jeff Fisher here: http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig11/fisher-j1.1.1.html and it is all pretty scary if you haven’t been preparing yourself. If you have been taking some steps, some of the possibilities spelled out in Fisher’s column are actually fairly juicy.

What about bank runs? They’re already doing their best to head you off. If you’re gonna get your money into metals, you need to do it NOW… cash out your IRAs and get out of the stock market while the money is still worth something, and certainly before the end of this year… 2011 will bring about a whole new ball game. http://www.infowars.com/capital-controls-the-final-phase-in-the-great-looting-of-america/ They’re about to institute all sorts of taxes and fees and other methods give control of your money to the very looters that have orchestrated the destruction of our economy, while keeping you from gaining access to your own money; essentially forcing private sector savings into public sector debt. If you plan on taking your retirement savings and fleeing the country, you gotta do it before 2013. They will likely seize all retirement savings. You might as well pay the lower taxes now and beat them to it while the prices of metals are still fairly low due to the manipulation of those markets. You can still buy generic silver round and square for about $20 an ounce.

Will this forthcoming election be enough to head this off? Well… there’s a relative few candidates that really understand the Constitution and the economy. There aren’t enough of them. If we’re lucky, we’ll get a bunch of fiscal conservatives in there that will overturn ObamaCare and the carbon taxes and all that other horrible stuff. I’m betting we’ll see a major tide of republicans taking seats in congress, but if they’re like Bush’s neocon congress, it will be just more of the same old thing. When the democrats lose their seats in this election, they won’t have anything to lose, so they’ll shove through even more bad legislation and debt-production in the couple of months before the new officeholders get sworn in. Don’t wait for the government to do anything positive… ever. Career politicians are in it for their own survival and will do anything expeditious to stay in office… and that won’t include anything that involves restraint or paring back an overgrown government. They’ll have to be ridden out on a rail.

You can see the train coming… you can see the tracks and hear the engine and the whistle, and it’s heading this way. All the indicators are there. This same bunch of Wall Street brigands has done this same scenario over and over all over the world. It’s taken them a while, but they’ve effectively succeeded in crashing the U.S. economy. You might as well get your ducks in a row. If it turns out you don’t need the metals and stored food, you haven’t wasted anything… it’s all still useable. If you need the metals and stored food, you can’t wait until you’re “at need” to put your resources together. Take care of yourself, hon!

Eating Right Isn’t That Time-Consuming

August 9th, 2010

Okay… I’ve been looking at ingredient labels and wondering why we’re eating the packaged crap at the grocery stores. Having been “prepping” by stocking up on basic materials, I’ve had to re-explore home cooking, which better prepares me for self-sufficiency in the aftermath of whatever might throw a monkey-wrench into the normal commerce around these parts. Seeing my neighbors standing in line for hours to enter a grocery store that had been completely denuded a couple of days in front of Hurricane Ike, was a good indicator that the more I can do for myself, the better.

Now… talking to a friend on the phone, who admittedly says that she doesn’t have time to cook… and here the poor dear is carrying enough weight to make an extra person… just doesn’t wash with me. That very evening I had created a perfectly wonderful and healthy dish with some of my pantry basics. I took a cup of quinoa, about 3 cups of water, a MSG-free chicken buillion cube, half a chopped onion, a tablespoon of the garlic in olive oil, and one of the 12-ounce cans of turkey meat, drained (I buy the 4-packs of the turkey meat at the wholesale clubs)… and dumped the entire lot into my rice cooker and pretty much walked away. Once things got about half done, I dumped in a couple of fist-fulls of the dehydrated carrot bits and half a bag of frozen peas. It became a wonderful dish. You can easily use Veg-All mixed vegetables in a can for the veggie. I made up a quick gravy using a can of Cream of Mushroom soup to top it off. My husband said it was like turkey and dressing all together, and he certainly made a lunch of it to take to work the next day.

Okay… I had the veggies, the meat, plenty of flavor, and a HEALTHY carb… quinoa is gluten-free, has about 15% protein content, a high amino acid score, a relatively low glycemic load, plenty of fiber and is loaded with bone-building minerals.

I mean, really… dumping some ingredients into a rice cooker and walking away? That didn’t take much of any time. Okay… it took a little time to chop up an onion.

What did it actually cost? $2 for the can of turkey, maybe $1 for the quinoa, half an onion I already had in the fridge and half a bag of veggies I already had in the freezer (closed with a clothes-pin)… maybe another dollar? And a can of cream of mushroom soup to top it off? Not much there. I created a total of 5 healthy meals for maybe $5.50.

Time to get real, America!

Wampum Redux

August 8th, 2010

I was looking at a Discovery Channel program about some Viking settlements they’ve unearthed in Great Britain. The more I learn about this branch of my ancestry, the more impressed I am with them. They were consummate traders. They had a trading network that brought fine goods all the way to northern Europe from the middle east. They couldn’t make fine wire to wire-wrap things (see my own website for examples similar to what they did) so they imported it. They swapped for things.

They wore silver barter bracelets… cuff bracelets that they would chop off sections of and use for currency; if a Viking wanted a new leather jerkin, he’d ask a purveyor how much and they’d weigh the barter bracelet, then measure the appropriate amount and chop it off with an axe. If they carried silver or gold coins, they chopped these into pieces as required per transaction.

The Native Americans… Indians… were very similar. Some 500 tribes scattered across the Americas networked their trading and met at a number of trading sites. Coral, abalone and cowrie shells have been found in burial sites far inland, well away from the tribes who were geographically close to these goods. What one tribe had, another tribe wanted. Pipestone found its way all over the Americas. When tribes or individuals rendezvoused at these trading sites, people were also exchanged… marriages were arranged. Most tribes were extended families, so you didn’t marry within your own tribe… these ancestors understood the problem with inbreeding. “Wampum” was the trading medium… and at one point, they settled on beads and shells as the “wampum” and wore these strung on necklaces or decorating clothing, to be removed and traded with as needed.

The point is, where there are people, there is a requirement and a desire for trade. It’s against human nature not to want to trade. We got away from traditional bartering with the advent of “currency”. I can see that we’re going to be going back to the old ways of doing business, at least until a new currency can be established, hopefully without the private banking cabal involved.

Those of you that have been reading my humble blog, know that I’m a “prepper” and a “gold & silver bug”. I recently cashed out my IRAs that had been languishing in the bank, however “safe” that was at such a miserably small interest rate. Believe me, when a bank has held $10,000 of your money for a whole year and barely paid you $50 in interest… it is time to buy metals. I paid the fees and taxes, and purchased silver and gold bullion, and a few other potentially useful things. Gold is for preservation of wealth, and silver would likely be the preferred medium for barter.

I know that silver and gold prices have been heavily manipulated, especially silver. Silver used to trade at a 16-1 ratio with gold, meaning that the price of silver was being held artificially low to begin with before Goldman Sachs and the other criminal banksters began shorting it… selling positions in the metal without even holding any of the metal. Why they got away with that is completely beyond me. Suffice it to say, that at some point, anyone having dealt with them will eventually go back to them and demand to see the vault, and at that point, metals prices will likely jump. They’ll definitely jump when the dollars that have been held by other countries around the world are brought back to the U.S. to purchase what they can before what little value the currency has craters once and for all and the hyper-inflation hits hard.

Okay… so there are a few of you that don’t really understand what could happen when the dollar loses its hegemony as the world’s default currency. Right now, all oil is traded in “petro-dollars” with the U.S. dollar as the pricing unit. Our government is spending money that it doesn’t have and the banking cabal Federal Reserve is printing it, causing the money to lose its value as the supply dilutes. At some point, the countries that have been buying our debt (as in Treasury Bills) will consider it a bad investment because the new dollars being paid to them are not going to be as valuable as the old dollars they bought the T-bills with… and they will offload the dollars any way they can, either by dumping them in the financial markets or by coming to the U.S. and buying up anything with perceived value while they can. Either way, all that money comes back here, and the dilution factor hits in earnest.

Which means that OPEC will not accept dollars in exchange for oil any more.
Which means that fuel will likely become scarce, and farmers will have a tougher time affording fuel to run those big machines to do the farming, and that the truckers that move the food across the land will probably be making a lot fewer trips.
Which means that your local grocery store might not be able to restock inventory.
Which means that food prices would likely be going up hugely because of the cost of production and the cost of shipping.
What do you think people might do in that event? The poorest among us would feel the effects first. We’ve already got over 40 million people relying on food stamps. So under those circumstances we may be looking at the possibility of civil unrest, riots, martial law, lockdowns of entire districts, and… starvation.
Which means that each person will likely be stuck with whatever they’ve got stored.
Power generation could very well be effected, as could other utilities. Are you ready for far higher prices on utilities coupled with blackouts and rationing?
It could take a while to get things straightened out… perhaps months, maybe longer.
Things could come to a standstill in the meantime while food production localizes and farmers’ markets take the place of supermarkets. Barter will likely become the main means of trade.

Even if you have a modest budget… if you can still dine out on burgers a couple of times a week, you can retool and make some basic preparations. Eat a nut-butter sandwich instead of McDonald’s, and put that money to work for you by buying some stuff. Come on now, you can buy a 1-pound bag of lentils, beans, rice or split peas for like $0.85 so if the average McDonald’s lunch is like $6.00, you can buy at least six bags of food you can store. Or you could save the cost for a couple of those lunches and go purchase some junk silver (90% silver coins) or some generic silver round at a local bullion dealer. Yes, you’d pay sales tax on bullion purchases under $1,000, but you’d have something that would be worth something.

A lot of grocery stores are closing out some inventories… I picked up 1 pound shake dispensers of spices (onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, etc.) for $2 each. You’ll need to flavor those beans. I picked up some close outs on organic unbleached white flour for $3.50 a 5 pound bag… I learned to make tortillas from scratch. Shop the sales! Find a friend with a Costco or Sam’s Club membership and go shopping with them… you can buy twice as much for the same price as a regular grocery store.

Do these things for yourself while your dollars will still purchase things that have real value and are useful, and that could very well sustain you. I’ve been telling people to clean out their closets to get rid of anything they don’t use, store food in every nook and cranny, and buy ammunition for self-defense. Gold and silver are good, but food and ammo will likely come into play first.

Obama Admits He Isn’t an American!

August 8th, 2010

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwhKuunp8D8&feature=player_embedded

When you get the chance, take a little time to watch this video. Obama (Soetoro) as much as admits that he isn’t a born American, and his stupid wife has said so several different times on camera. Why is this posturing, incompetent jerk still in the White House? Having perjured himself over and over, both throughout the campaign and ever since, he should be doing hard time in the federal prison system… and that twit Joe Biden with him!

Listen… these creeps are doing their level best to crash the country, both from within and without. We have an election coming up this November… assuming they haven’t managed to already crash the currency and declare martial law to quell protests and riots. As it is, we’ve got more debt than the combined gross national product of the whole planet, and most of our economy is based on debt. We’re already looking at an Argentina style hyper-inflation currency melt-down coming to America really soon. Time to wake up.

We gotta get out there and vote ALL incumbents out of office… except Ron and Rand Paul… and make sure everyone we vote in is a constitutionalist that wants to shrink government to a manageable level, bring the military back home to police our own borders and remove the expanding surveillance state AND getting rid of a private banking cabal called the Federal Reserve. Gang… look at your candidates carefully… ask them real questions and insist on real answers to find out where they’re coming from. If checking their backgrounds reveals they’ve never held a legitimate job in their lives, you don’t vote for them, and make sure nobody else votes for them. Make darn sure they plan to get rid of the Federal Reserve. If a candidate gets into office and refuses to do what we put him there to do, he needs to be recalled and removed… fast. The last mid-term election in 2006 proved a complete betrayal. We gotta get rid of the prostitutes on capitol hill.

Perimenopausal Helpers

July 24th, 2010

As above, so below. Lately I’ve been fielding a lot of questions from my customers about how to fix perimenopause/menopause symptoms. For some time now I’ve been doing battle with perimenopause. In my case, the symptoms have to do with my actual period… super-heavy to the point of filling adult urinary diapers, and very painful at that. I’m not kidding. A lot of women will go to their doctor hoping for help. I can tell you that the average medical response is to do a hysterectomy. My sister did that and the friggin’ doctor ripped EVERYTHING out… didn’t even leave her an ovary! Okay… if it is fibroids, yes they can make things more difficult, but the fibroids leave when your uterine lining thins out for menopause. Same thing about endometriosis.

If you want to get rid of the fibroids… get the Essiac Tea. Herbal Healer Academy http://www.herbalhealer.com sells the tea in bulk, liquid concentrate and capsules. It will take a long time, but it will work. A friend of mine with really big fibroids took this route… it took about two years to get them to totally go away drinking this tea twice a day. It works. The tea is also good for combatting just about any infection! If you feel a cold coming on, get into the Essiac!

The herb Sarsaparilla to replace progesterone… perhaps up to 3 capsules with each meal.

Another herb, called Dong Quai, is also called “women’s ginseng”. I’m trying this one out now. It is known to balance hormonal levels at all stages of life, eliminating PMS, perimenopause and menopausal symptoms, while providing benefits for overall health.

Another herb, Fo-Ti, is a youth herb… and you will need 3 capsules with each meal… really helps your energy level. I won’t do without this one. It is a youth herb… look up the history. If you take this plus two of the Swanson Vitamins Gelatin & Silicon supplement with each meal, your hair will come in thicker and darker, with a lot less gray. No kidding.

Since most of the weight gain, sleep disruption and stress during the shift into menopause stresses the adrenals, you need adrenal support. A simple solution is Red Clover, either in capsules or in tea form, or Ashwagandha, which additionally aids in weight loss.

Yet another FOOD herb called Maca boosts and optimizes the entire endocrine system, and most people feel it first in the sex drive. It isn’t an herb so much as a FOOD. You will take several tablespoons of this each day. Check around for it in loose form… you’ll go nuts trying to take that many capsules. Try making a smoothie with bananas and throwing the Maca in it each morning. You’ll know when to back off when you start looking at doorknobs and other odd objects in regard for their sexual gratification potential… I’m not kidding.

The supplements Pregnenolone and DHEA, which are precursors to the progesterone, estrogen and testosterone. I know ladies in their 70s that take up to 100 mg of the pregnenolone daily, just to feel normal and have decent energy. If you are 50, you can handle up to 50 mg of Pregnenolone and up to 25 mg of DHEA. My last period was super bad, and I had some of this in the house. I started taking them, the sarsaparilla and using the progesterone cream/spray, and it arrested the hemmoraging in ONE DAY! You have to feel the body on this one… it can aggravate PMS symptoms short-term. I downsized the DHEA to 20 mg.

There are various progesterone creams and a progesterone spray on the Swanson Vitamins website. You just rub it somewhere on your body… and rotate the various spots you apply it to. One time you rub it on your tummy, another on your thighs, another on the inside of your arms… No prescription required.

I get all of this very inexpensively on http://www.swansonvitamins.com even with the darn shipping.

Another thing… stay away from all SOY, including TVP (textured vegetable protein). No kidding. Soybean oil prevents your body from absorbing nutrition from your food… really blocks it. Soy in general will mess up every hormone you ever had, beginning with the thyroid hormones, and then everything else. It is an endocrine disruptor.

If you think your thyroid is running low, taken a bunch of Kelp tablets for the iodine. Swanson has some good iodine drops, too. You can tell whether your thyroid is working right… stand in front of a mirror with your arms hanging at rest at your sides… if your hands are not palms to your legs… it they slant so the palms are not parallel with your body… your thyroid is outta whack. You need the iodine.

Proper Smudging Technique for Clearings

June 17th, 2010

I just noticed that, even though I have always included instructions on how to do a proper Tobacco Ceremony on my assorted blogs and my electronic books, I somehow forgot to include these important instructions on my blogsite for easy access.

If you are one of a score or more of people who have contacted me asking for help in dealing with the negative side of the paranormal, I have likely either instructed you by e-mail, coaching you over the phone, or I just sent you the PDF of my e-book, “Fat-Free Spirituality” so you could get it for yourself. I’d rather coach people to do it for themselves, thereby empowering them to help others. The ol’ spoon-feeding syndrome isn’t good for the collective consciousness.

When the typical person comes to the realization that they really are being haunted, it is normal to panic. So much of so-called “western civilization” is geared around denial of the spirit world and higher dimensions. Most people start their search for paranormal help by reaching out to clergy only to be rebuffed or told to find a psychiatrist… and it is a sobering experience after a lifetime of mainstream religious indoctrination to realize that the support isn’t a two-way street. The next thing most people do nowadays is to get on the internet… which is where most people find me. Yes, I do get referrals from members of various friends and paranormal research groups. I prefer to empower people through instruction, but some folks are too scared to attempt the D.I.Y. approach, at which point I will offer to do a cleansing, whether by remote or in person, for a modest fee.

In getting the background on the haunting activity, I usually tune in and check for the presence of geopathic phenomena, and I always ask whether there is use of prescription medications, alcohol or pot in the household.

The first stage of clearing is e-mailing the person the “White Light” symbol from the Joray tradition, to print out on both paper or on Avery label stock for them grid their house by slapping the symbol to the ceilings of closets, behind every picture on the walls, and preferably stapled to the inside of the roof facing down into the house from the attic. The symbol takes the house to a higher court and typically makes any ghosts very uncomfortable… it is serving them “notice of eviction”.

The next thing to do is prepare to “smudge”, which is a Native American technique. You need a sage and cedar smudge stick for this. If you can’t find one of these locally, you can either order them on-line or from me. You will need to hold something underneath that smudge stick so you don’t spread embers as you walk through the house… most use an abalone shell, but a salad plate with work perfectly.

Smudging is typically my second stage of clearing. Once you have the basic implements ready, you crack open the front door, make a prayer (out loud) invoking your angels and ascended masters to come in and assist you, then light the cedar and sage smudge stick. You begin by going to the back of the house smudging each room in a clockwise circle, while talking to the ghosts. Tell the ghosts that this is your home and that they have to leave it, preferably to go into the Light since they are no longer in physical form. Keep smudging and talking until you’ve chased them out the front door. In multi-level houses the smudging must be repeated on each floor, again, working from the back of the house forward until they are chased out the front door. It is especially important to point out that ghosts like to hide in the in-between places such as attics, air conditioning intake vents, stairways and closets, so these must also be smudged. When you are done, close the front door and “seal” that door by smudging it in a clockwise motion. All of these actions must be done with focused INTENT. More advanced spiritual practitioners will talk with such entities and then walk them into the Light to make sure they get there.

The third stage of clearing is doing “Tobacco Ceremony” both outside and inside the house. I prefer doing outside first because it has a pressure cooker effect.

The fourth stage of clearing is to do an energy clearing on anyone in the household. Any etheric cords must be cut, their energy field must be cleansed, and any chakras have to be unblocked. The first thing that most poltergeists do is “slime” people’s head chakras to keep them from realizing the ghosts are there.

No-Eyes’ Prophesies

June 17th, 2010

The other night I was knocking around my workroom, and out popped my copy of “Phoenix Rising” by Mary Summer Rain. It is about No-Eyes’ vision about this time frame of transition we are in. Looking through the lists in the back of the book, about the various stages of the days of the phoenix… we’ve already seen a lot of the prophesies fulfilled, and we can see the bigger, nastier ones walking down the street.

* Bush is currently trying to stack the courts to become impotent to strike down bad laws or to uphold our Constitution. The Supreme Court is predicted to be making some very bad decisions in the next few years… bad enough to send people into the streets in protest.
* There’s gonna be a lot more American soldiers all over the world fighting. Terrorism, discord between countries, undeclared wars, clandestine activities, high level secrecy. It will go to a nuclear exchange (this was predicted before the invention of DU missiles) in a number of places, including U.S. soil.
* Trade deficits between nations will become crippling, and many will default on loans, leading to economic hardships, discord and saber-rattling the world over.
* Jobs are being outsourced in staggering numbers, which will cause staggering amounts of unemployment, which will cause waves of consumers to default on loans. The post-9/11 cheap credit spending frenzy is coming back to roost. The financial PACs are already lobbying to make it impossible to file for bankruptcy. If enough people lose their jobs, then real estate will lose its value.
* Excessive taxation, particulary of the people who can least afford to pay. The Republicans have been overreaching on all levels. In Texas, Gov. Perry unveiled H.B. #3, which taxes the people with the lowest income at an additional 5%, while the taxes get lower further up the income scale… up to $80,000 a year pay 2.66% and those earning six figures get a huge tax cut. Insane.
* Stock market misdealings and decline. Increase in corporate crime. Duh. Enron and WorldCom are just the tip of the iceberg. There will also be a lot of small business failures, factory shut-downs, and construction decline.
* It will come down to cash becoming the only accepted tender.
* Major devastation in California, earthquakes in new areas, record-breaking flooding, soil erosion, intensified hurricane devastation, increased tornado activity and damage, sinkholes, rapid temperature inversion, crippling winters, higher pollution levels, widespread surface blazes, greenish hue to atmosphere. Mt. St. Helens is getting jiggy again, Yellowstone Park is seriously active, and they’re seeing earthquakes on both the southeast and southwest coast of Canada. Expect to see major stuff along the New Madrid Fault.
* Disease outbreaks, rise in homicide/suicide, germ warfare release accident… predicted long before chemtrails, but probably including some more direct and intentional releases intended to kill off large masses of the populace. Given the contempt that the Bush’s neocons have for everyone that isn’t making beaucoups of big bucks, I wouldn’t be surprised to see that coming down in the next couple of years.
* No more separation of church and state. As the religious leaders buy and demand influence in the affairs of state, the state will eventually start meddling in church affairs. Religious oppression. More religious groups going to court to force their restrictions on the public. The masses will question all of it… about bloody time.
* Increased UFO sightings and interaction with other intelligences. Just wait till Bush’s guys start seeing the transdimensional aliens that have been hovering around them for years.
* Widespread acceptance of the paranormal and ongoing life after death.
* Nuclear disasters, including several close calls with nuclear power plants. No-Eyes said there will be two catastrophic melt-downs, seeping radioactive dump sites, radioactive pollution of land/rivers, radioactive releases due to geological instability, major accidents during transport of nuclear missiles and/or waste.
* Taxation refusals. War resistance. Draft evasion. People’s revolt and resistance movements. Public’s discovery of coverups. Riots.
* Major upheavals within governments.

We’re pretty much there, gang. Let’s make the best of it. Know where your food is, know your land, know where your water is. Gather and learn all you can about natural curatives. Get into your bliss and gather the true power of the gifts of Spirit while you can. That inner work is your ticket through the mess. A lot of people are becoming awakened nowadays, too. I know because I am making and selling a record number of custom pendulums.

On the other side of all this predicted upheaval, we can expect a greatly whittled-down population to be living in harmony with the land, using non-polluting energy sources, growing their own food, and adapting Native American philosophies and ways of living. It is worth hanging in there for.

Chakra Jewelry

June 17th, 2010

Typical "7 chakras" necklace from www.turtleisland.cc

If you log onto http://www.turtleisland.cc and then go to the “medicine necklaces” page, a pair of very sweet-looking necklaces you will see are the “7 Chakras Necklaces”.

Chakras are the popular name given to the energy centers associated with the endocrine system, associated with 7 particular points on the body. Where did the whole concept of chakras come from? Around the turn of the last century, a group of theosophists translated a whole lot of Eastern texts ranging the whole gamut from health, philosophy, religion, yoga and meditation? They were the vanguard of the spiritualist movement, which eventually became known as the New Age movement. Granted, they got some of this stuff wrong. Some of it, like Ledbeatter’s The Chakras, really qualifies as one of many fluffy intellectual dead-ends. What good is all that fluff if it isn’t packaged so you can actually use it?

Where knowledge of chakras comes into play, is where you really start coming into awareness of your mental/emotional attitudes and their effects on your health. You can often stop a syndrome in the physical body by catching the causal attitudes and releasing them. So, if you tend to have lots of sinus pain, try to approach the basis of it within your own mental/emotional frame of reference. Is your nose out of joint? Are you crying on the inside? Are you feeling sorry for yourself, and if so, why? After doing a little self-checking, you may discover that you don’t need to take that antihistamine!

Sometimes one chakra may be over-stimulated by your circumstances. For example, the root chakra, which is located just below the base of the spine, will tend to be dominant under times of extreme stress, family issues, times of anger, and challenges to survival. While it is good to bring up the root chakra energy to help keep you going, it is not good to live like that. People who live from their root charkas tend to repeat and not learn from their mistakes, and tend to be in a lot of drama.

If you are under a great deal of stress, if anything, this would be the one time to settle down and meditate, and connect to your Divine Source. Bring in divine wisdom through prayer and meditation so you can consciously discover and release any patterns that are bringing stress into your life, and then change it all for the better. Bring in White Light from the heart of God in through the top of your head to fill your whole body, then balance your energy centers so the head chakras are more in control. Getting the head chakras to connect with the heart is important because it will tend to determine the quality of your life.

To my way of thinking, everything is a tool, and anything you put on you, within your energy field, has the potential of making you stronger or weaker on an energy level. In other words, my jewelry is just another way to package different energies that people need help with. While both of these necklaces are intended to balance and optimize the energy centers associated with the endocrine system, each of these has its particular focus.

The “7 Chakras Necklace I” Necklace is dainty and sweet, and suitable to wear to the office. The central stone is a Moonstone, which is both an activator for the other stones and possesses a very soothing vibration to assist the wearer with all of the transitions in life. Moonstone also connects the head chakras with the heart chakras. Working from right to left, from the 1st to 7th chakra, we have Snowflake Obsidian, Carnelian, Tiger’s Eye, Green Jade and Rose Quartz (for the thymus and the personal heart) on either side of the Moonstone, Blue Onyx, Sodalite, and Amethyst. This combination of stones would be described as soothing. Instead of firing up your root chakra, we’re grounding and smoothing it out with Snowflake Obsidian. Famed Houston psychic Rick Ferguson says this necklace works as an emotional balancer and has a lot of water and dolphin energy.

The “7 Chakras Necklace II” Necklace features a much more aggressive assortment of stones, including four classic “master healer” stones. Again, the central stone is a Moonstone, and working from right to left, from the 1st to 7th chakra, we have Garnet, Carnelian, Citrine, Malachite and Rose Quartz (for the thymus and the personal heart) on either side of the Moonstone, Turquoise, Lapis Lazuli, and Amethyst. Garnet, Citrine, Malachite and Lapis are all pretty aggressive. This version is intended to open and stimulate all of the energy centers with the kundalini fire for increased energy utilization. Great for times when you need an extra energy boost, but it can make some people feel “antsy”. This is not for someone who is angry, but rather for someone who needs a little help in standing up for herself.

If you have any questions about stone medicine, or other topics, feel free to drop me a line.

Native American Tobacco Ceremony

July 15th, 2010

I have a wide number of applications for a special type of prayer called “Tobacco Ceremony.” The divine messenger, White Buffalo Calf Pipe Woman, brought the “Tobacco Ceremony” to us some 500 years ago. I will typically use this ceremony when clearing haunting activity.

With this prayer ceremony, I found that I can anchor light anywhere, block-in or block-out any form of energy or entity, and “clear” an area of unwanted influences. For example, I felt the energies were “off” at one psychic fair I was at. I went outside and quietly walked around the building, doing the ceremony, giving thanks and asking that anyone, energy or entity be excluded from the building if it is not “working for the Light” or if it is not there for the betterment of all. Ten minutes afterwards, two of the “psychics” quickly packed up and left. I had never thought about them, either. Interesting, huh? I know a “channeler” that can’t do readings in an area I’ve done ceremony on. What does that say about what was being channeled?

You don’t need to smoke or use a special pipe. What I do is offer a pinch of the dry herbs in each direction. You may also choose to burn the herbs on a charcoal to offer the smoke. I carry a pouch filled with a generic mixture of tobacco, sage, cedar and sweetgrass, which is symbolic of the four directions. Other tribes use other herbs.

Let’s do it, shall we? Place yourself in a state of grace. Begin with an open prayer/invocation, and then start by facing EAST (or what you perceive as east), which is the start of the Medicine Wheel, holding a nice little handful of your herbs. Raise your hand offering the herbs, and begin by addressing the “Grandparents of the East”. The “Grandparents” referred to in this ceremony, includes ancestors, ascended masters, angels and the spiritual hierarchy of the planet. Give thanks to the Grandparents for all of their assistance, offer your handful of herbs and ask them for their assistance once again (insert request here), thank them in advance for their help and drop a pinch of the herbs in their direction. Do this exactly the same way facing SOUTH addressing the “Grandparents of the South”, then WEST, then NORTH. Then kneel to address the EARTH MOTHER beneath your feet, making sure to thank her for feeding you and giving you a place to live, and offer the herbs and your special request and thanks. Then stand again and talk to SKY FATHER (God, Creator, Wakan-Tanka, etc.) offering herbs, thanks, your request, and thanks in advance for this assistance, and dropping some dry herbs. Any breeze will carry the herbs to where they need to go. It is done. Give thanks. Whatever you asked for is on its way if your intent was correct and pure. This is the short form. White Buffalo Calf Pipe Woman’s version is considerably more involved.

If you are a smoker, you can do this ceremony very casually and even surreptitiously. Light up a fresh cigarette, face east, offer the smoke from your hand as you pray, then take a deep draught and mentally exhale the prayers as you blow the smoke carrying your prayers up to the Grandparents of each direction as described above. Works just fine. It’s the intent that matters.

I will remind you of the importance of Universal Law when doing “ceremony”. Prayer, especially a focused prayer like this, is a powerful form of thought/energy transmission. You will get back that energy multiplied in accordance with your intent in putting the energy out to begin with. Some people say it is multiplied three times, but in truth there is no ceiling on the multiplication aspect. So, for example, if you pray for advancement on your job, ask that it be done in harmony and for the best and highest good of all concerned… not just yourself. I know one lady that did ceremony to get a promotion, and got it, but because it was not done in a harmonious way, she was fired a month later. You can do ceremony to attract a new love to your life, by putting your “spec sheet” out in this prayer ceremony, but you cannot manipluate any person in particular as that will backlash on you. You get the idea.

Radionics 101, as Taught by Suzanne

July 15th, 2010

(In response to the many questions on geopathy I’ve been getting over e-mail, I am hereby posting the following excerpt from another E-book I am working on, tentatively entitled “Ghost Hunter”. I hope this assists you all!)

I have noticed over the years certain correlations between geopathism and haunting activity, as well as various illnesses in people. If you have enough geopathic rays in a given area, ghosts can be caught and kept there in a manner very similar to a lobster or crab trap. Yes, it is possible to send the ghosts into the Light, but the basis is still there for the haunting. It will eventually attract more ghosts, and will hold them for years until a spiritualist comes along to clear them out. This is one thing I want all prospective ghost-busters to check for in an investigation of haunting.

My first awareness of geopathic phenomena came when I was describing “the corner of death” in my back yard in a Feng Shui class, and the instructor pointed out that this was a radionics problem. There was a geopathic ray cutting through that corner of my back yard, which energetically killed anything I planted in that corner. I got instructions as to how to locate it and what to do about it, and I reclaimed that corner. And so this aspect of my education began.

Radionic problems encompass a completely different area of knowledge where your dowsing skills will come in handy. It is helpful to bear in mind that everything is energy. If it is made up of atoms, then it is made up of energy. If you go past the atomic level, past the tiniest possible gluino, neutrino or quark, what do you have? This field of primal energy has been called ether, the unified field, or the nagual, depending on what approach you take to quantum physics. So, if you put one energetic structure in an energetic field, something will happen. The human body is no different.

Over the years many people have discovered that energy is organized in many different ways, in the field of dowsing you will find names like ley lines, geopathic (sick land) rays, noxious rays (earth rays) and related topics. All of us are sensitive to these various types of energy to varying degrees. A lot has been written and researched about this topic, mostly in Europe. Lately in the United States we’ve become more aware of physical stress and immune dysfunction caused by proximity to power transformers and the like. The American Society of Dowsers and the U.S. Psychotronic Association are probably the best sources of information in this arena.

Ley lines are well documented. They are highly beneficial and can be compared to the meridians of the human body. Ley lines are the meridians of the planet; when they are clear and flowing, the planet is healthy. The best and cleanest water supplies are usually found along ley lines. Wells located along ley lines in Britain are thought to have healing qualities. Crops grown along ley lines are greener, healthier, more disease resistant, more vital and with greater productivity even though the soil is exactly the same as outside the ley line. Fishing is better, animals are healthier, trees are bigger and so forth. You will generally find power centers (sacred sites) along ley lines. It’s not a good idea to actually live on a ley line, because such intensified vibrational interference can create stress in the physical body.

Earth Chakras. These are vortexes that compare to chakras in the human body. There are lots of them around. Some may correspond with geo-magnetic centers. Classically, the big cathedrals in Europe were typically built on top of “old religion” worship sites, usually on geomagnetic centers, like Chartres, Notre Dame and Winchester Cathedral. Stone cairns like Stonehenge and Avebury are also good examples, as are most Indian mounds and medicine wheels. There are also sites like Ayers Rock in Australia and Round Rock, Texas that feature a similar geo-magnetic energy. Ghosts will stick around these energetic structures to perpetuate their haunting activity. Sometimes ghosts will actually bend these Earth energy vortexes out of alignment, so not only do you have to walk the spooks into the Light, but you also have to heal any mis-alignment of the energy vortexes. Make sure these Earth vortexes are aligned with Divine White Light, but don’t attempt to close them as it may cause trouble for the residents of that region, just as a closed chakra in your own body can cause sickness.

There is also such a thing as a bad (or dark) vortex, and you’ll probably know it when you feel it. These can have various causations, including dark-side occultism and extra-terrestrials. Yes, I’m serious. These vortexes should be cleansed and closed with Divine White Light and angelic assistance. If you are unsure or don’t know the difference between a vortex and an earth chakra, just go into prayer-mode and encompass the whole area with Divine White Light through visualization and ask the angels to fix it.

Noxious rays are well documented and pretty obvious. Those who can see them say they look like distorted heat waves rising from a really hot surface. Vegetation looks bad, won’t grow, or dies off. A tree in a noxious ray will grow with a spiral-twisted trunk. Ants build their mounds along the perimeters of these areas. Dogs will not sleep in a noxious ray. Children will absolutely fight going to bed if it is located in a noxious ray. People sleeping in noxious rays experience immune dysfunction, infertility, and reduced life expectancy. Sleep is disturbed, sores won’t heal, broken bones won’t knit, arthritis and heart conditions arise, and conditions that were thought cured or in remission come back with a vengeance. I know one lady who had beaten her lupus into remission years ago, moved to a piece of property with a lot of noxious rays on it and discovered the lupus was making a comeback. I know of a small boy that died of leukemia because his bedroom was in the back of the house in a noxious zone. If an office building is built in a noxious zone, employees will experience double the number of sick days, lowered work productivity and will exhibit every stress related health syndrome. Cracks in a driveway, foundation, or sheet-rock, trouble with plumbing and electrical work, and other similar deterioration will follow the path of a noxious ray. Noxious rays create “cold spots” in buildings that cannot be accounted for by placement of windows or doors.

When underground water lines, rivers and streams cross one another in a given vertical area, they create an E.L.F. field from which noxious rays emanate. E.L.F. stands for Extreme Low Frequency. These are energy waves, below the threshold of hearing, that vibrate (usually) below 10 cycles per second, or Hertz. Flowing water has a frequency of 8 Hertz, and when two or more water veins cross, a new frequency is created which produces a noxious ray or vortex. Most noxious earth rays can be redirected or diffused with copper tubing or copper wire. For example, placing a length of copper wire or copper tape along the floorboard where a noxious ray enters a room will block the ray and send it upward. A series of copper pipes or rods inserted vertically into the earth where a noxious ray enters the property will diffuse the ray. The older a developed area is, the more geopathic zones will be present.

Geopathic rays are a variation of noxious earth rays, but are caused by man’s activities. Possible causes include underground water lines, electric lines and transformers, cable T.V. and telephone lines, microwave communications dishes, satellite T.V. dishes, underground fuel storage tanks, cellular phone antennas, traffic signal arrays, man-made building materials, industrial and military activities. Activities of people create a lot of environmental noise. Take careful note of how many microwave communications dishes there are around your area. These arrays can broadcast at frequencies that can cause large numbers of people to exhibit flu-like symptoms with no causal bacterial or viruses present.

A friend purchased a clothing resale shop in the Heights neighborhood of Houston. Everything physically seemed all right, but things were energetically off. The place had a heavy feeling to it. The shop had been owned by three older people who each were in decline due to ailments such as heart trouble, arthritis, and cancer. My friend had trouble keeping the energy clean and kept getting sick herself. It wasn’t until a couple of months after she closed the shop and liquidated the inventory that we finally figured out that the shop and the liquor store next door had a geopathic ray going through them. I wondered why I had to consciously make myself go there, and why it was hard to focus while there. It happens all the time. Restaurants, no matter how good they are, if built in geopathic zones, will not be able to overcome the bad energy and so will close down in a matter of months after opening. You will know this is the case when you dine in an otherwise nice restaurant, with good service, good atmosphere and good food, yet cannot seem to go back because it just didn’t feel right.

A lady was referred to me for a radionics consultation while at a psychic fair. She complained of not being able to sleep since she moved into her new split level brick house, which was creating a great deal of physical stress for her. I had her draw a map of her home site, then I tuned in and dowsed. She had one big honkin’ geopathic ray going diagonally through her house. I told her the cheap radionic cures: put a series of copper rods vertically into the ground along one part of her fence, and royal blue tape along a particular area of floorboard in both the upper and lower stories. If that didn’t work, I told her I had some other options. She called some time later saying she was sleeping much better.

Construction materials will often prove a factor in both radionics analysis and paranormal investigations. For example, people will buy mobile homes thinking they will have more freedom to move around. The only problem with a lot of these pre-fabricated homes is the level of toxins they can contain, including chloroform, formaldehyde and other potential cancer causing agents. I understand that the newer ones aren’t supposed to be quite as toxic. On an energetic level they can be even worse, depending on where you put them. You see, because of the materials they are made of, mobile homes are “orgone” or “earth energy” collectors. Tornadoes are naturally pulled toward orgone energy dense zones, which is why tornadoes always seem to hit mobile home parks first. Some prefabricated steel buildings, as in industrial parks, have similar energy collecting capacity. This energetic element can also amplify geopathic stress. I’m not saying that you can’t live and work in such structures, as sometimes it is unavoidable, but you do have to be aware of your surroundings. Mobile homes are best placed nestled among mature trees on otherwise uncluttered land.

We mentioned EPA Superfund Sites earlier. Houston is literally dotted with these toxic sites. Housing developments have been plopped on top of pools of toxic sludge containing all sorts of deadly stuff. There is a correlation with the above-mentioned geopathic or noxious rays with industrial toxic waste sites. It is an example of like attracting like. Or which came first: the chicken or the egg. It can start with a few geopathic rays, then as a result of sympathetic frequency someone puts an industrial site there, which creates a toxic dump site, then years later, some greedy developers cover the sludge with a thin coat of sand and put in a housing development, which in turn attracts people of that same particular sympathetic vibration. Sick land, sick people… sicker land, sicker people.

If you have ever known anyone who has lived on or near such a site, then you know it can make people sick. The Brio Toxic Waste Site off Beamer Road in south Houston adjacent to the South Bend subdivision certainly imprinted itself upon the residents on all levels. A portion of the subdivision was built on top of the sludge pond and has that sludge coming up through the lawn and the plumbing. People living in those homes came down with all sorts of immune system and respiratory troubles, including cysts and cancer. Women living in those houses gave birth to severely disabled or sick children. The sadness of the sick residents can easily leave behind a shard of consciousness large enough to haunt. Notice how it is all related? You may not be able to clear out the toxic sludge or clean up the water table beneath it, but you can block the geopathic rays and send the ghosts into the Light.

Dowse what “cure” will work and its application in each situation. Blue tape, copper wire (and devices made from copper wire), copper tape, copper rods, prayer, and scalar wave psychotronic devices are some of the standard solutions for geopathic zones. Reiki can also be used to heal a geopathic zone. Whatever you decide to use, it is still your intent that makes it work. Simply state, “this is to deflect the noxious ray” or something to that effect, while you are putting the “cure” into place.

Since ghosts are usually sensed by instrumentation as an electro-magnetic field, usually with an associated temperature drop, it makes sense that various types of energies can perpetuate their activity indefinitely, if permitted to do so. If you clean up the energetic environment, then it is easier to clean up the etheric environment.

Predictions Regarding ObamaCare

July 20th, 2010

Gang… first of all, hit this site and sign the petition: http://www.grassfire.com/130/petition.asp?ref_id=500064

and this one: http://www.grassrootsaction.com/220/petition.asp?Ref_ID=3302&RID=21563424

I did predict that there were going to be some lawsuits being filed in the courts to overturn ObamaCare as unconstitutional… and there are already. Here is an article on that: http://www.personalliberty.com/news/states-say-healthcare-bill-is-unconstitutional-will-sue-federal-government-19685333/ Turns out Texas already has one in the works. Also, in the past couple of days, there have been instances of vandalism against campaign offices and numerous threats via e-mail, regular mail and voice mail, along with a deluge of phone calls pouring into the offices of Representatives and Senators. I don’t know if this is authentic or staged to justify further erosion of our civil liberties. When the taxes and fines start hitting, people will really be up in arms.

No matter what, I predict there will be a landslide against the Democrats in the mid-term elections. I just hope that we can stop the dysfunctional pendulum swing back to the Republicans, because they aren’t a solution… we need third parties that are interested in going back to Constitutional law. We need people who run for office to be dedicated to shrinking government and its grasping. We need strict term limits and a new law put in place that removes the country club medical plan and retirement plans the Representatives and Senators now enjoy… after all, they are only part-time employees. If they can’t live with what they’ve legislated for the rest of us, they need to fix the system for all of us!

If, for some reason, ObamaCare is not overturned, I can make some very realistic predictions:

A lot of doctors will either quit the doctoring biz altogether, or will close their formal practices and then go into private, by referral, cash-only practices off the books. I’m betting on a lot of doctors moving their practices across the border to Mexico, then commuting back and forth across the border from home to their practices. I wouldn’t blame them, either. Imagine having to make a trip to Mexico to get your basic yearly physical and some lab work done.

We will see a huge drop off in the numbers of people going through medical school. Who would want to go a quarter-million + dollars into debt for a degree that will, by legislation, won’t allow you to pay your own bills? I mean, really, paying the student loans, plus malpractice insurance, plus the costs of maintaining a practice… it all adds up. The whole point to becoming a doctor, if you aren’t motivated by serving humanity by healing people, is to make money.

I can also predict that a lot of smaller employers are going to go to hiring most of their employees as contractors because of the massive taxes this ObamaCare scheme will levy on employers… in other words, very few people will have real jobs with benefits.

ObamaCare, since it will take the money directly out of your bank account without your permission, will also result in a lot of people getting out of banking… no savings or checking accounts to be plundered. If anything, most will keep a token amount of money in a passbook account so they can cash their paychecks. As a result, more people will also be hiding their income, and we will become increasingly a cash-and-carry society. A lot of people will probably be leaning more toward bartering.

Alternative currency is already coming into play: Idaho is minting their own silver round and accepting it as currency and S. Carolina is trying to ban federal currency altogether. At least the Idaho thing isn’t banning the dollar, and it certainly would help the mining industry in that state to provide jobs. http://www.salon.com/technology/how_the_world_works/2010/03/15/idaho_silver/index.html

If you thought the IRS was already bad, wait until they start trying to enforce new and more draconian taxes. The IRS doesn’t have to play by the rules as other law enforcement; they can drag you in and force you to prove your innocence. ObamaCare is going to be a tax on everyone, not just those earning over $200,000 a year… and under hyper-inflation, that amount is not going to amount to much. If you’re already having a tough time making ends meet, wait until this stuff gets put into action.

ObamaCare will force a lot of companies to force their retirees off of their good insurance and into Medicare, mainly to begin accruing monies to pay out in the stiff taxes they are staring at. People who opt to keep their company health insurance will find that it will be taxed as if it were income… yes, that is a fine for keeping your corporate insurance.

I am also predicting massive tax protests on all levels. No-Eyes, the Native American prophet, predicted this one… and that it may result in blood running in the streets. Obama and his fascist bunch are picking up and running with Bush’s neocon internment camps and will likely use any excuse to round people up and lock them away. Yes, I’m predicting civil unrest.

I predict that a lot of people are going to become more educated on maintaining their own health and will seek out natural health care… naturopaths and homeopaths. We will be returning to the days of the “root doctor” and “kitchen witch” for primary health care. You might want to go ahead and hit the bookstores for some books on herbal medicine, and perhaps start stocking up on some common herbal curatives.

I am also predicting massive, runaway inflation very similar to what Argentina went through. We’re already seeing it. We’ve been seeing the manufacturing jobs getting oursourced for years, thanks to Clinton and Bush signing NAFTA and CAFTA into law.

I can also predict more people turning every square foot of their yards into family farm plots to supplement their diets, and preserving the excess for the long term. Food is going to get really, really expensive. Actually, it already is. Start buying seeds and putting in some raised garden beds filled with rich soil. If you haven’t started already, you need to be storing food Mormon-style. Buy some foods in bulk and store it in airtight containers. I’m not kidding. If civil unrest keeps truckers from delivering food to the stores, or if the military decides to cordon off entire areas, or if things get to the point where you will have to “shelter in place”, or if inflation gets to the point where you need a barrel of cash to buy a loaf of bread, you will need to live on your stored foods for a while. I’m already seeing some disturbing trends in the local stores… even WalMart is carrying less variety and isn’t keeping up with stocking. You might also want to consider some other items, like a rocket-stove so you can cook your meals using just a few twigs. http://rocketstoves.org/

Another thing… ammo. If you run low on Spam, that squirrel in your yard is gonna look mighty tasty. The local duck ponds are going to be missing some stock, too. Personally, I’m leaning more towards keeping “cuy” (guinea pigs) like they do in Peru… not as prone to parasites.

Okay… so am I predicting the apocalypse? Actually, I’m just trying to cover the bases. Things might continue to grind along as they have been, but I’m allowing for some craziness.

Bulk High Protein Dry Foods

July 20th, 2010

I have a few resources for you:

http://www.sunorganic.com has great deals on quinoa, amaranth, millet, great northern beans (not so gassy), nuts and dried fruits. They are in California.

http://www.hidalgofoods.com is in Texas, and has the best prices on chia and maca, but if you are closer, the proximity can save you some serious bucks on shipping, even if the prices on quinoa are a little higher.

http://www.glaserorganicfarms.com is near Miami, Florida, so those of you on the east coast will probably save on shipping bulk items by ordering from them. Good prices on most items, and they also have a line of pesto sauces, nuts, raw snack foods, and other things for healthy cravings.

I’ve ordered from all of these companies and they are all good. I will buy 25 lb. bags of the grains and then use my FoodSaver system to suck-wrap them down into 4-cups per bag for long-haul storage.

Now… regarding the grains I’ve been ordering. Quinoa is gluten-free, has about 15% protein content, a high amino acid score, a relatively low glycemic load and is loaded with bone-building minerals. Quinoa doesn’t have that much flavor on its own, so I fix that in the rice cooker with either chicken broth or bullion, chopped onions, garlic, parsley, tarragon and maybe even throw in a bag of frozen mixed veggies. Great stuff… works great with meat and gravy.

Amaranth is gluten-free, contains 13% protein dry, but has a high amino acid score and a load of minerals. Amaranth can’t take the place of rice as a side dish… too fine and too mushy. What I discovered on my own, is that you can either make a pudding out of it for dessert, or make it up with a little molasses or organic cane sugar, and serve it either as breakfast (like oatmeal or cream of wheat), or serve it along side your morning eggs as a substitute for grits. I’ll keep experimenting with it. I think it has promise for cookies and the like.

Millet is very interesting. It contains something like 11% protein, and also has middle score in amino acids and a higher glycemic index, and is heavy on bone-building minerals. It does substitute for rice very nicely. Cook it up just like you do rice, with a little salt and a pat of butter, and it tastes a lot like some kind of flavored grits. It substitutes for rice very nicely. My husband’s blood sugar will spike with millet, mainly because he goes back for second and third helpings, if he controls himself, it won’t spike. There are a lot of artisan bread recipes that include millet. This has no gluten.

Compare that to whole grain brown rice, which has a very high glycemic index (higher than millet), about 7% protein, and is a lot more inflammation causing than the other three, by about double the numbers. Rice still contains gluten, even if it is refined out.

I did try kamut, which is a middle-eastern relative of the wheat family and does have gluten in it. It is about 16% protein and has a fairly low glycemic load, but then again, it’s tough to cook and eat the stuff. Granted I just put it in a rice cooker with water and a chicken bullion cube. It took darn-near forever to cook, and it still wasn’t cooked. Maybe the trick is to grind it up first. I’ll give it a “fail” for now.

Defunkers for Personal Protection

July 20th, 2010

Examples of the Defunker I and II

If you log onto http://www.turtleisland.cc and then go to the “medicine pendants” page, the first things you’ll see are the “defunkers”. Members of three different paranormal investigating groups in Houston consider these their P.P.E.s (Personal Protective Equipment). In fact, it is their members that dubbed them “defunkers”. People who do energy work like these both as tools for focusing energy and as protection from inappropriate energies. People who work in dense energy environments like bars and hospitals appreciate the “defunkers”, too! These little assemblies have come in so handy on so many occasions, that they’ve become absolutely entrenched – - I have to keep these in inventory!

As with many discoveries, this one was quite by accident. I was making jewelry, and I had the “urge” to wrap an obsidian wand a certain way, with certain stones. As with all assemblies, I put it in a bag with other things that I would energize and bless before I put them on my display boards. I pulled out that obsidian wand and handed it to Rick Ferguson during set up at a fair the next weekend. Since he was busy setting up, he popped it into his pocket to look at later. Rick is a big jolly fellow that occasionally rubs the anal-retentive types the wrong way – - probably the reason we get along so well. During the day, some woman walked up to Rick and asked him if he would like some healing work. Rick said yes without asking what flavor of energy work, or who the woman’s teacher was. He sat there, feeling this funky energy flying around him, but it wasn’t sticking. The woman was doing her best to block his head chakras. Some time after that, I asked him what he thought of that piece I had handed him during set-up. He fished it out of his pocket and had this shocked look of realization. This kept him from getting “funked-up”. I couldn’t get it away from him, either. The rest is history.

The mahogany obsidian is a nice, smooth, laid-back variety of obsidian. Obsidian is well known for it’s capacity to shield against inappropriate energies. Wrapped along with this combination of stones, and energized by my angels, it has the vibration of Archangel Michael’s sword. The energized combination is much more than the sum of its parts. When people are looking for something of a protective nature, I point them to these assemblies on my display boards and ask them to pick one up and hold it to see how it feels to them. A lot of them purchase. I never, ever have to hard-sell. If they don’t like that particular vibe, I can equip them otherwise.

I’ve always liked how the black obsidian arrowheads look and feel, so I began making “defunkers” out of them. Granted, the black obsidian is really tough looking; the appearance has all the subtlety of a sledgehammer. The “defunker charm-collector” is a more stealthy method of packaging for this combination, great for wearing in a conservative workplace. I actually make a “defunker bracelet” which has the same protective vibe in your energy field, but does not really function as a tool.

Because of its nature and intent, it is best to wear your defunker either over your thymus or solar plexus; whichever feels best to you. The funkier the environment you are in, the closer you need it to you. It works well worn inside your shirt, like Kevlar armor. It is more a statement of intent and strength when worn outside the clothing – - like subliminally saying, “don’t jack with me”.

Astrology for the Next Couple of Years

July 20th, 2010

I went to my friend and astrologer, Enola Dominiak, for a reading to see what was up in my chart and in general. This was back in November 2009, and I was experiencing a dry spell business-wise (a lot of people were), along with an incredible urge to write.

Enola is a real expert… she can look at your chart from any of 6 different astrological schools and give you the scenarios. A few years back, she looked at one aspect in my chart and told me that “a mother figure” would either get really sick or die sometime that November or December… it turned out, my mother-in-law died on November 20th of a heart attack… really sudden. That’s how good she is. If you want to avail yourself of her services, her number is 713-503-1574.

Okay, now on to this year. Enola saw no economic improvement until fall of 2010… this year. We are going to be seeing some MAJOR SHIFTS because for the next 3 years we are under the influence of Saturn in Libra. Saturn is exhalted, or empowered, in Libra. Saturn is the teacher of the zodiac, and Libra is a cardinal sign. This is a very forceful, aggressive aspect. This is all about “relationships”… friends, lovers, employers, business relationships, and so forth, and all of these relationships will be changing depending on how they all relate to Saturn in their charts.

One thing she stated is that we have to be very careful about staying out of negativity while Saturn is in Libra, because Saturn will give us what we think about. This is a critical spot in the global and personal balancing act.

Enola voiced concern that there was the probability of violence in the larger world and relationships, as in we-the-people regarding our government. We’re already seeing vandalism directed at members of congress as a result of their vote for ObamaCare. As the economy continues melting down with inflation and job losses, people may very well become agitated and militant. Witness the Tea Party movement now.

Other than that, the rest of 2010 looks interesting enough, astrologically speaking: Mercury goes retrograde April 18-May 11, then August 20-September 12, then again December 10-30th. Venus goes retrograde October 8- November 18th… that’s in Libra… ouch. Mars had been retrograde since December 20th, 2009 and finally went direct on March 10th, 2010… if you noticed that not much was moving, that is one reason why. Jupiter, the Santa Claus of the zodiac, goes retrograde from July 23-November 18… you can expect sales to be slow during this period… and remember, that goes along with a Mercury retrograde. Saturn is now retrograde from January 13-May 30th… the teacher is revisiting some lessons to make sure we got them down pat, or we will receive a smack with the ruler. Chiron is retrograde from June 4 – November 5th… look at both your physical health and the inner health issues carefully, because they will be up in your grille. Uranus is retrograde from July 5-December 5th… since Uranus is the divine rebel, it has to do with individualism and rapid change, so I think we will be seeing some real interesting stuff with Uranus revisiting the issues and sitting on them to make us look at them. Neptune is retrograde from May 31-November 7th… that has to do with the urge to escape limitations, living an ideal, and unity… things could get interesting over the summer. Pluto is retrograde from April 6-September 14th… Pluto is all about transformation, evolutionary growth, elimination, power, control, the surging masses, and… transition (death).

For me, personally, this is a time of laying down the foundations and doing some major introspection work. When my brother who died at the end of February, was finally buried on the 19th of March, I spent a chunk of time processing rage… classic Chiron issues. I basically spent most of my childhood and teens in an unsupportive, competitive and antagonistic environment, with my brother the main reason for the turmoil, and my parents feeding it by refusing to deal with it… in fact, they didn’t start addressing my brother as an issue until 2 years after I had launched out of their house. I have to heal that in order to heal the rest of my body and drop the armor on my tummy. Enola says I came in with this anger from a past life. I am also likely to have a kundalini awakening this year. I do have a lot of good stuff going on in my chart, though.

ObamaCare and Other Fascist Grabs

July 20th, 2010

If you get the chance, give a listen to the Alex Jones Infowars interview with Judge Napolitano. I have to tell you, it is quite empowering! We do have a lot more options than you might ordinarily think.

http://www.infowars.com/judge-napolitano-on-alex-jones-tv-obamacare-is-unconstitutional/

Gang… we are staring down the abyss. Obama — or rather Soetoro — and his cabal are rushing to lock onto every manner of controlling us they can possibly invent before the November mid-term elections. Right now, there are 14, going on 16 states filing suits stating that ObamaCare is unconstitutional, and mostly citing the 9th and 10th amendments of the Constitution. Truth is, ObamaCare violates MOST of the constitution… period. Reading down the list: it also violates the 4th, 8th and the 14th amendments, and also violates a number of articles.

Am I kidding? No!

* According to the rules of how legislation is supposed to be done, this bill was written by the insurance industry’s lobby, and rammed through congress without anyone reading or understanding it. Legislation is supposed to originate in the House, then go to the Senate, then back to the House if a lot of changes where made, and if not, it goes to the president. It is a violation of article 1, sections 7 and 9. This is an example of midnight legislation, similar to the 16th amendment that gave us the income tax.

* It gives illegal aliens open access to health care here, with no I.D., even while they don’t pay income taxes here, while it requires tax-paying citizens to have that accursed “national I.D.” card we spent the last 8 years fighting off.

* It takes away our freedom of privacy.

* It forces us to buy insurance we don’t want and can’t afford.

* It legally forces us to purchase a PRIVATE PRODUCT by a company… a violation of all the anti-trust laws.

* It tells us what to do and limits our choices, threatening excessive fines and imprisonment.

* If gives an unseen non-elected official total control over our health care. It allows that official to disallow health care coverage to anyone with a pre-existing condition, including children.

* It contains numerous industrial pork-barrel giveaways… including the vaccine and drug manufacturers.

* It does NOT contain any attempt at tort reform.

* It is an unfunded mandate.

* It is a massive redistribution of wealth… period.

Obama and his cabal have lied time and again, not just about this legislation, but all of their campaign promises. Obama is not a socialist… he is a totalitarian and a fascist. He wants absolute control over every aspect of your life.

Obama himself has already perjured himself in all 50 states… ”Barack Hussein Obama” is not his legal name… it is Barry Soetoro on his certificate of adoption by his Indonesian stepfather, which, if he wasn’t already born abroad, certifies that he doesn’t qualify to be president under the constitution.

You can bet that his bunch will be doing their best to ram through “cap and trade” as quick as they can, before the mid-term elections tosses most of the democrats (and hopefully all incumbents) out on their ears. They are rushing even as we speak. Pelosi openly made threats to the democrats in the House to get them to vote for the ObamaCare bill, telling them that they had to do this and “take the hit” for the party. Voting the “party line” instead of their conscience or the will of the constituents is more than grounds for not only voting them out at the next election, but calling them back to their districts and pressing charges against them.

You can also bet your bottom dollar that they will most likely stage a terror event just to grab even more control. I would guess that a lot of the vandalism on campaign offices was probably staged, too. Just watch. Things are getting interesting.

Pay Attention to the Media…

July 20th, 2010

Well… in the last couple of weeks, we’ve seen admittedly staged events where black democratic congresspeople went through a well-behaved if vociferous, group of protesters, then reported that they were called the “n-word” and spat upon, and then released a statement to the effect saying that the spitter was hauled in by the police. Numerous cell-phone and i-Phone videos and regular video camera segments proved that not only were the protesters NOT saying derrogatory things, and NOT insulting anyone or spitting or making any threats… but they were indeed behaving correctly. The crowd was also quite mixed along racial lines, instead of a white supremacist mob. The congressman in question never recanted his releases, chosing instead to continue his inflammatory behavior, and this has been repeated without question by MSNBC and CNN. The idea here is to continue to divide the populace along racial lines so we can be more easily controlled. These days, the democrats are claiming that ANY dissenting opinion amounts to racism, which simply isn’t true at all.

Additionally, look at the attempts in the mass media to agit-prop potential violence on behalf of Tea Party members and the militias, attempting to tie them in with hate-mongering white supremacists. We have a situation in which a government invents an enemy, then creates a terror event in order to further clamp down on freedom of movement and speech. Obama and his bunch are working towards another 9-11 style staged event so they can round up dissenters, Nazi style. Obama is trying to flog the internet and talk radio as the source for rabble-rousing against his plans to tax the middle class into extinction. Pardon me, dude, but the idea of having even more of my paycheck taken to pay for ill-considered programs to make the rich even richer just ain’t playin’!

CNN and Fox News have as much as admitted they are run by the CIA, with each slanting their stories to the right or left to maintain tension… start paying attention to who these people are demonizing. Anderson Cooper is both a Vanderbilt and a Rockefeller, for pity’s sake, and spent his summers between semesters at Yale interning at the CIA headquarters in Langley, VA! These guys are trying to agit-prop .

Back on March 26th, former state Sen. Nancy Schaefer and her husband were found dead of gunshot wounds under highly suspicious circumstances. Letters to various relatives and a suicide note were found nearby. It was pronounced a murder/suicide, even though Bruce Schaefer shot himself in the chest… people who commit suicide by gun usually shoot themselves in the head. The corporate media does not bother to mention that Schaefer exposed the abuses of CPS and the international child sex slavery ring. http://kidjacked.com/family/schaefer.asp Basically, she was taken out… it was a hit. Look for more of this sort of thing. What it amounts to is that if you have any inside information that the NWO types wouldn’t want publicized, you need to go public with it FAST before you get killed.

Obama just unveiled his plan to open the east coast and the Florida gulf coast to oil and gas drilling… all the better to collect taxes on, my dear! You can bet your bottom dollar that this isn’t about energy independence. Chances are, that once the leases have been signed, the oil & gas companies will just sit on them.

The whole climate change thing and the carbon tax scheme is nothing more than another money grab. Obama is trying to skirt around real legislative processes by having the EPA change their rules and enact new rules and standards that will further result in job-killing because of higher operating costs, as well as quadrupling the price of gasoline and doubling your electicity bills. It has already been proven that the science behind the whole global warming thing is junk science at best proffered by corrupt “scientists” who will do anything to keep grant money flowing in. Follow the money!

What I’m saying is to look behind the headlines and try to follow the money.

Some Info on Guns

May 7th, 2010

Having spent several evenings talking with ladies who had no earthly idea of what they were looking at when shopping for guns for self-protection, I decided to put some of my thoughts on paper.

There are more gun manufacturers than ever. Your chances of finding a good fit for your lifestyle and protection are excellent. Many manufacturers are creating lines specifically geared for women, including how they typically carry their weapons (purses, anyone?) and their size/strength ratios. There are also more types of ammunition to go with these guns.

I grew up in an NRA household… but that was in the 1970s, before the NRA got so friggin’ nutty about carrying military-style full-auto arms. My dad kept a sizeable collection of fairly exotic ordinance under my bed, in my chest of drawers, and tucked into the attic crawlspace on the other side of my closet. He would describe the protective packaging and length and I would go to the spot and fetch it for him to play with.

The first thing I have to point out is the two basic types: revolvers and semi-automatic. If you want something you can use while still half-asleep, or conversely, while scared shitless, get a good double-action revolver, the more basic, the better.

Semi-automatic pistols have a “magazine” that you load the bullets into, and the magazine goes up into the butt of the gun where it feeds into the chamber. These tend to be a lot sleeker and the new space-age materials make them lighter and very durable. The thing is, you have to pull back on the top of the thing (the slide) in order to start shooting… which can cost you seconds, especially if you fumble. Once you start shooting, you can keep squeezing until the gun presents you with an empty chamber. You can usually carry more ammo in the magazine than most revolvers, and you can reload by hitting the button to release the spent magazine and then sticking a fresh one in. You sacrifice some ease of use for the smaller size. Remember it is a “magazine”, not a “clip”… a clip goes onto the top of a really big rifle to feed the ammo directly into the chamber.

If you go for your Concealed Handgun License, you need to qualify on a semi-automatic gun, which most CHL classes will rent to you for that class, that way you can carry either kind of gun after you get your license. In Texas, you have to qualify with a minimum of .32 caliber… period. You can bring your 9 mm, your .40 caliber or anything else you want for the class, but the minimum is .32 caliber. Once you have your license, you can carry anything you darn well want to… as long as it is concealed.

In Texas, you have to get the CHL in order to carry outside of your property. You can keep a gun in your car at all times, but you can’t take it out of your car unless you are on your property or have the CHL. Having the CHL doesn’t mean that you can carry a firearm just anywhere either… a lot of malls (probably with Yankee owners) forbid carrying on their property, along with a number of government buildings, stadiums and what-not. I won’t bother going to any of these malls.

If you don’t have anyone around to teach you the ways of guns, by all means, take a class! The NRA can refer you. So can your local gun shop. Knowledge is power. Getting yourself past the fear is very empowering.

Now a couple more things: (1) You don’t flash your gun unless you are prepared to use it. If someone has broken into your house with you in it, you don’t attempt to make threats. If someone has kicked in your door or window, you shoot first and ask questions later. In Texas we have something called the “Castle Doctrine”… as in “your home is your castle”. In a lot of instances, simply the presence of a gun has made all the difference in the world, and caused a would-be attacker to flee.

(2) There is no such thing as “shoot to wound”. You shoot to kill every damn time, and believe it or not, that is a tough thing to accomplish under pressure. You don’t want the criminal coming back with bigger ordinance to use against you, and you don’t want him coming back with a lawsuit, either. Speaking as an ordained minister, go ahead and kill the bugger! He’s going there fast, anyway, so help him get his death-wish. You might as well stop him from continuing on a long string of murders.

Silencers? Why? Quit watching TV! The most idiotic thing I ever saw was the title sequence for the old Avengers TV series… shows a silencer on a revolver. I guess that looked tough to the producers, but it showed their ignorance… revolvers are open chamber so the noise comes out of the back. If you shoot, believe me, you want the noise to be noticeable! Noise is your friend! A shot fired into the asphalt of a parking lot does constitute the use of “deadly force” in Texas, but it is more than enough to get someone’s attention if you are stopping an assault.

A word about WD-40: Only in moderation, and only on revolvers that are easy to clean. WD-40 is basically olive oil, and as such, it turns to goo in fairly short order. When the stuff originally came out, policemen would spray down their guns with this stuff, and discovered that it caused their handguns to misfire in bad way… really embarrassing and dangerous. I inherited a semi-automatic .22 target pistol that had been sprayed down with WD-40… it was so gunked-up that it wouldn’t fire at all. I had to take it to a gunsmith to take apart and use his ultrasonic cleaner on it… $70 to reclaim the use of that gun. Stick to good synthetic machine oils. Talk to your gunsmith.

Gun control: Means using BOTH HANDS… capice?

SOME FINDINGS:

In finding ammo, I’ve discovered that .32 and .22 are relatively easy to find, even at WalMart. The .38 and .357 got kind of rare after Obama got sworn in. 9 mm is a lot easier to find across the board. Bear that in mind.

My first handgun purchase was back in 1978… I was 18 and I purchased a North American Arms stainless steel, 5-shot, .22 long rifle derringer, and I carried it either in my pocket or in my purse. We didn’t have the current concealed handgun laws back then. I have two of these now. Great to have on you while doing your walking program. It makes an excellent loud noise, which alone is a deterrent. Not very good past 20 feet, but you wouldn’t want to get hit with a .22 hollow-point, either.

Several manufacturers make a good compact double-action revolver that has the hammer concealed… you just point and squeeze. Smith & Wesson makes a Model 442 Revolver and uses .38 special ammo. Ruger makes the same thing for like $300 less, and theirs is called the LCR. The idea behind this is so you can throw it in your purse without that hammer thing on the top getting hung up on anything, and you can just keep your hand on your gun in your purse and shoot through your purse if you have to. You just squeeze. I like Ruger… good products and good value.

I personally carry a Kel-Tec P-32 semi-automatic pistol… 9 ounces loaded. The magazine holds 7 bullets, and you can carry with an additional bullet in the chamber so you can just squeeze away without having to cock it. I choose not to because there is no “safety lock” button on the gun. If I have to pull that puppy out, it is going to be intentional. http://www.kel-tec-cnc.com/ Expect to pay around $350. Taurus makes something similar for about $450.

Something new I discovered: The Taurus Judge. It is a small frame 5-shot revolver that can shoot either .45 caliber long bullets or .410 shotgun shells, which makes it a favorite with campers and hikers that come across lots of snakes. Now… a .410 shotgun shell probably won’t kick a lot, given how chunky this particular handgun is. The spread of the pellets in that cartridge ammo would really guarantee enough hits to prove a deterrent to just about any critter, including the two-legged kind. I’m betting the .45 bullets would tend to kick like a mule. http://www.taurususa.com/ Expect to pay around $500 new, but that depends on the barrel length. The longer the barrel, the better the accuracy and stability.

Now… as for longer weapons… I offer the following link: http://www.captaindaves.com/guide

Kel-Tec does manufacture a series of semi-automatic rifles in different calibers, and they make these things to be upgraded on a whim. Several models can fold in half. Their SU-22 rifle can carry 26 rounds of .22 caliber long rifle, and will accept magazines for the Atchison M-16 conversion (more ammo). My friends will typically ask you to consider a carbine of some sort. Just bear in mind that you will need training and you will have to carry it… don’t over-do.

If you opt for a shotgun, get one that will hold as many shells as possible. That single-shot may not be enough if it came down to it. The lower the gauge, the bigger the cartridge and the larger the BBs inside the cartridge… and the bigger the kick when fired. Remember that.

Sam’s Club Dropped the Ball

May 15th, 2010

I’m a firm believer in bulk buying. Why buy a little bag of rice when you can get a big bag for almost the same price and suck-wrap the excess for future consumption? Why buy a small block of toilet paper when you can get a big one that will last you for a whole month at a lower per-roll price? Why buy cheese, bacon, apples or whatever at the grocery store when you can get twice as much for the same price at a wholesale club? Granted, we’re in a two-person house, and our consumption level is fairly low, but we really do see the savings in buying bulk and repackaging it.

I’ve been a Sam’s Club member/customer for decades now and I’ve gotten to the point where they almost have nothing for me any more. Sam’s, like WalMart, is carrying fewer lines, less variety, and lower quality… and it is getting worse. The whole thing’s been going downhill since Sam Walton died. The new management is a little too tough on vendors, and when they can’t meet the new pricing requirements, the management cuts them off from both Sam’s and WalMart. The result is fewer product offerings and lower quality.

Add to this, the fact that they are attempting to go for a different market segment… the Hispanic community… with a new store called MAS. Get it? MAS is SAM backwards. I found an article about it: http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE49R3ZV20081028 One is on I-45 North here in Houston. Okay… the first thing I’m going to question is why they are doing this when WalMart is already catering to this market segment… if you don’t believe me, look around next time you’re in there. The second thing I will question is how do they expect to sell memberships to a community that typically doesn’t buy memberships, and… how to put this delicately… depending on immigration status, doesn’t like to sign up for anything? Of course, that’s their experiment.

Now for the GOOD NEWS: Last weekend I drove a few miles out of my way to see a place called CostCo. My main hangup with the place is that there aren’t very many around. I have to drive down to the Katy Freeway at Bingle or north to Willowbrook Mall to find one of these places. I gotta tell you… it is worth the drive! Prices overall may be 2% higher than Sam’s Club, but they more than make up for it in sheer variety! Whoo boy! They have a large selection of organic everything! Organic and gluten-free product offerings.

I saw a 5 Lb. bag of organic quinoa for $8, which is a much better price than I can get on-line. I picked up two pack of 23 oz. organic blue agave nectar for $7.49… about what you’d pay for one of them! I got a two-pack of 28 oz. organic peanut butter for $7.79. I picked up a huge 26 oz. jar of organic almond butter for $5.99. I loaded up on dried figs, cashew clusters and tropical dried fruit mix to snack on.

Here’s the cool thing… go to their website on-line… http://www.costco.com Now go under their food section and check out their emergency food kits. You can pick up a freeze-dried vegetable variety pack with 264 servings that will last 25 years for only $84.99. They offer a freeze-dried fruit pack for $130. Mountain House freeze-dried food packs featuring full meals that you only add hot water to, and even an emergency garden seed kit for $50. When you order on-line, the shipping is supposed to be free… I was told that when I got my membership at the store.

What to do with $1,000 Now

May 15th, 2010

If you get the chance, please look at this video, the link for which was sent in one of Gerald Celente’s e-newsletters: http://www.youtube.com/v/yOjq1oww3FA&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0×5d1719&color2=0xcd311b

Stick with watching the film because it will tell you what is going on and the reasons behind it all. About a quarter of the way through it, it explains why the price of precious metals has been so depressed: the big bank gangsters have been shorting the metals. They’ve been selling positions in metals as if they actually had stored metals on hand. They apparently don’t. At some point, all their customers are going to demand to see the accounting and they physical metal. If they can’t produce, the market will correct rapidly. That means a whole range of things.

So if you have $1,000 sitting around, buy silver while the price is still being stepped on! Junk silver or silver round are easy to get. Since gold and silver are indexed at 16 to 1 in value, you can expect gold to make the same jump, perhaps to as high as $6,000 or more. Does anyone else see the opportunity in this?

How to Recover America… Grass Roots Approach

May 17th, 2010

Gerale Celente of the Trends Institute has been very vocal about where we’re headed, both America in specific, and the world in general. In as few words as possible, most of the world’s governments have been taken over from within by incredibly greedy people working for other incredibly greedy power-mad people who want to turn us all into feudal fiefdoms… at best.

They got Greece to melt down… people rioted and some died, and the whole country came to a halt. Greece is in the European Union, so their troubles are not necessarily their own… they’ve been forced to purchase arms they couldn’t afford, their currency is not their own, and their government answers to a bunch of private bankers. There’s a bunch more countries about to fall down pretty soon.

The U.S. is actually already something like 24 TRILLION in debt, thanks to wars, foreign aid, bailouts for the gangsters running the economy into the ground (Goldman Sachs, anyone?), and all of the major legislation that’s come down the pike for the past 10 years is loaded with pork-barrel giveaways that have nothing to do with what the legislation was supposed to be about. We all know that. We also know that none of these gutless wonders is ever going to take the actions that really are necessary to fix the basis of the problem: 1.) Return to the letter of the Constitution and stick with it. 2.) Do an Andrew Jackson and arrest the members of the Federal Reserve and declare the debt service owed to them null and void. When Jackson did that, he ushered in the single most prosperous time in the nation’s history.

I’ve already gone over what you can personally do to prepare for a currency melt-down in previous blog entries: buy and store food “Mormon style”, buy precious metals… and stockpile ammo for your guns. Anything else you can do to make your household self-sufficient in the event of loss of electricity and water is also a good thing. It is a logical thing to do, especially if you’ve been through a gulf coast hurricane, and even better if you can weather any potential civil unrest safely. Now, my metaphysical/spiritual friends will say that they refuse to put that kind of vibe out there because they don’t want to empower the negativity. Okay… I hope that works for you, Bunky. If fear is the mind-killer, then preparedness removes fear from the mix and empowers the individual. It never hurts to have a “Plan B”, or a “Plan C” for that matter.

Now… what can WE do to recover America? That’s right, us little people! The non-Morgans, non-Rothshields, and non-Bushs of the world. Yes, we have the power! First of all, we can become more involved in local politics, and force the local politicians to behave. Most of us homeowners have seen our property taxes skyrocket because of the housing melt-down… and it isn’t fair to jack up the taxes on us responsible people just because we are still in the same house. School districts can bloody well shelve their expansion projects until they can afford it.

Secondly, and related to that, is VOTE OUT ALL INCUMBENTS! We need to get rid of the jerks that have been selling us out and replace them with constitutionalist candidates that will actually work towards fixing the problems. A good candidate will get rid of the country-club retirement and health care plans that Congress currently enjoys forever, even if that congressman only got elected once. Come on, now, it’s a part-time job at best. A good candidate will force recalls of all legislation based on constitutionality. A good candidate will be all about looking at the money trail and cutting off the leaches. For example, we don’t need the Department of Energy… it doesn’t do what it was originally created to do, which was explore and encourage alternative sources of energy… it now caters to the big oil, big coal and nuclear power companies.

Our every day campaign, something we can do that is sustainable and really will help: Buy American… and buy local. If you need something to fix the house, you go down to your locally-owned hardware store and patronize them, instead of WalMart or any other chain store. If you want to go out to eat, you patronize a local cafe instead of some chain restaurant that serves packaged crap. Pick quality.

Spend more and buy quality: Buy candles that are made by a local candle-maker… they will probably offer far cleaner and safer products rather than some toxic petroleum crap from China. Have a local tailor make your suits… you’ll get a creation that will wear like iron. Buy quality shoes and boots, and when they are getting worn, you take them to a local shoe repair specialist for rehab.

Read the labels. We know that Whole Foods has been selling frozen produce grown in China as “organic”, and certainly charging for the privilege. If it comes from China, Indonesia, India, Mexico or anyplace else other than America… you DON’T buy it! HEB offers produce from local growers, which makes it fresher and safer to eat. Patronize the local farmers’ markets and learn to put up your own preserves so you will have healthy food out of season… and see if you can find some people who can swap with you!

Get it? Don’t spend money you don’t have, and when you do spend, be responsible with your spending to support American businesses! Each dollar that comes into a given area in the form of a paycheck impacts the local economy somewhere between 7 and 12 times as it circulates, generating more jobs, more paychecks and more circulation of money.

Fun with the Dehydrator

May 19th, 2010

For years now, I’ve used my big 12-tray Excalubur Dehydrator to make everything from raw corn chips, flax seed crackers and, of course, taking those apples that were a little too long in the tooth to eat directly and turning them into incredibly sweet apple chips. Frozen blueberries work fine, too. Fresh pineapple takes on a very sinewy, chewy texture, but tastes pretty good. By all means, experiment.

Dehydrated apples are quite delectable and satisfy the appetite for sweet and snacky. You can take a $4 bag of apples from the local wholesale club and turn it into a lot of apple chips. They’re great with peanut butter. You can, of course, take your favorite nut-butter and spread it on a Teflex sheet and dehydrate that for some chewy nut leather.

Looking at the prices for dehydrated and freeze-dried foods, I decided to experiment a little more. The last time I went to Costco, picked up a 5 lb. bag of organic frozen mixed vegetables for $6 (you can’t beat that price), so I took that bag and placed the entire contents into my dehydrator, taking up 6 trays. I let it stay in there for several days at 105 degrees so the veggies would be thoroughly dehydrated but still have all the enzymes. The peas, corn and carrots dehydrated really fast, but the green beans lagged behind. It did permeat the house with a really weird smell for more than a day. When at last the green beans were shriveled and crispy, I put them in a FoodSaver system bag, and suck-wrapped them. That huge bag of frozen veggies came down to about a quart sized bag.

Not bad!

Preparing for Collapse?

May 22nd, 2010

What we’re staring at now…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccMJclKpBQI This YouTube video explains what I’ve been talking about better than just about everyone. Go ahead and check out some of the other videos while you’re at it. We’re feeding a ballooning financial bubble with an expanding a money supply that becomes worth less and less, and looting a collapsing physical economy while shipping production elsewhere. NAFTA, CAFTA, bailouts, and “reform” legislation that gives more and more of our tax money to the big banks and corporate interests are sinking our economy. The U.S. is in the process of reliving the Weimar Republic of Germany, Argentina’s collapse, and Zimbabwe’s hyperinflation troubles. Peter Schiff, Gerald Celente and a number of other educated economists have stated this over and over. We are being plundered.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQAsJeQIcVc This is a nice video by a young man named Reginald in Alaska who has come to a lot of the same conclusions, and has posted a whole series of videos to help people to prepare for the collapse. Bless his heart, he’s doing his best to get his points across.

What I am trying to get across is that once things start kicking in, things will domino fast. You don’t want to wait until the situation is already going downhill. Waiting until the day before a hurricane makes landfall to stock up on basic supplies puts you at a severe disadvantage, to say the least… you wind up with odds and ends leftovers at higher prices. It takes less than an hour for a grocery store to be emptied by a frenzied populace… I’ve seen it every time a hurricane made its way toward the Texas Gulf Coast… and it takes the grocery stores a couple of months to restock.

Food costs have already increased by over 30% since the beginning of 2010, and as that next wave of freshly minted devalued money hits the streets, prices will go up more and your paycheck will purchase less. It will take a while before companies can adjust prices and wages to keep up. In the meantime, you will have to tread water. You will have to put food in your belly so you can keep working. If we’re staring at civil unrest and martial law limiting your movement to the point of keeping you stuck at home, you will have to live on what you have stored.

The classic way that countries have dug themselves out of depressions is WAR. One likely scenario would be another false flag terrorist attack here in America… that could easily be staged, given our lack of border security, and there’s plenty of scuttlebutt on the net about that being planned for this summer, or fall at the latest. They’ve done it before and they will do it again. Watch carefully the situations with Pakistan/Afghanistan where the U.S. is sewing the seeds of war by bombing civilian populations. Look at North and South Korea now, with a ship sunken by a new kind of missile. Even more frighteningly, look at Israel and Iran… it looks like we may see an exchange of warheads there if cooler heads cannot prevail. Even a small missile (nuke or not) exchange will shut the entire Middle East down, and stop the flow of oil. That’s all it would take for what’s left of our economy to come to a grinding halt just because fuel prices would skyrocket, causing food prices to skyrocket, and adding another layer of burden on our shrinking purchasing power.

If you know it’s coming, you might as well plan ahead. Shop the sales, join a wholesale club, and pack every nook and cranny in your house with food, spices and hygiene items you will need.

You might want to check out the videos on putting together your “Mormon style” 3 month supply: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1rCaNO1umY&NR=1 The lady in this video is quite good in her explanations.

I stumbled on another resource: http://www.honeyvillegrain.com where you can get powdered cheese, eggs, milk, butter and an assortment of other things, most of which will store for 5 years.

A Pep Talk About This Epoch

June 5th, 2010

http://www.davidicke.com/articles/media-and-appearances/34544-david-icke-and-jordan-maxwell-in-conversation-at-project-avalon

By all means, take the time out to watch this video in which David Icke and Jordan Maxwell are discussing exactly what is going on at this point in time. These fellows have been on their respective paths for decades and have heard, seen and experienced so much, and their experiences dovetail with my own experiences and those of my friends.

In short, we are at the change of the yugas, or epochs, and the old, reptilian control systems are being broken down by we, the humans, awakening into consciousness. As we awaken, the reptilian constructs (Illuminati, Rothschilds, Bilderbergers, etc.) are going to ramp up their efforts to keep us in fear and under control. We can expect things to get really interesting in the next few years, but we have to remember who we are and the fact that they can’t control us once we wake up and refuse to allow our minds to continue to support their control systems. While protests and Tea Parties may help on some level as a show of force, the level that matters most is the one inside of us.

Take a little time out to talk to Holy Spirit, and ask that you be led where you need, be protected, be given expanded awareness, and that you will meet who you need to meet and see what you need to see. When you open up and allow yourself to listen to that still small voice, that is when the adventure begins. That will bring you into synchronicity, listening to higher guidance, and greater levels of inspiration.

I can vouch for all of the above. You’d be surprised at what comes across as I’m building custom jewelry for people. I’ve written one instructional manual which I sell through my website, and I am now writing a novel which incorporates a lot of spiritual knowledge as well as some plain rowdy fun. I open to the aspect of Spirit and ask “okay, what now?” and I am given the next set of additions. In the meantime, I’ve processed through a lot of my own inner stuff while writing all of this. While I’ve been running this character in my book through the gauntlet towards setting her free, I’ve also set myself free a little at a time, right along with her. I’m about 4/5 of the way through writing this novel, and I’m already getting into a round of brainstorming on a second novel. I can’t wait to get this first novel into the hands of a few friends for the first reading. I have had three psychics tell me that it will be greatly received because it will resonate with so many different kinds of people on so many levels. I certainly hope so. If I can come up with a tool to assist people in waking up, I consider it a true service to humanity.

Made My Own Tortillas

June 6th, 2010

Okay… I’ve been storing all sorts of pantry essentials ”just in case”. I found two 10-Lb. bags of organic unbleached all-purpose flour at Costco. The idea is that if I’m stuck at home and can’t get to a grocery store, or if the stores are depleted like they tend to be around a hurricane, I’d still be able to at least make tortillas, pancakes, cornbread and the like. I have an automatic breadmaker, but haven’t explored it as yet… the instruction booklet is pretty thick. I’m building my confidence so I can get to the point where purchasing bags of red wheat and a grain grinder won’t seem like an experiment likely to go to waste. I’ve heard from people who have been grinding their own flour and baking with it, and they say their health and vitality have increased greatly.

I got on the web and looked up recipes for making flour tortillas. They vary quite a bit. This may take a little experimentation.

I conferred with Virginia Garcia, who said to get a rolling pin… the considered tortilla presses a waste of time. Try finding an old-fashioned rolling pin in this day and time! After drawing blanks at Family Dollar, my normal grocery stores and Big Lots, I finally combed the area resale shops. I finally found one at Bear Creek Assistance Ministries. It had been used in a nursery school… it had Play-Doh on it. I took it home and bleached it, and worked it over with steel wool, then rubbed some coconut oil into it. It works like a champ!

My first attempt at making tortillas… well, the recipe didn’t have enough oil in it. I basically wound up with chapati bread. Using the good organic flour, grapeseed oil, Himalayan sea salt and aluminum-free baking powder, it really tasted good, though. Nice and clean, and not at all like the crappy bagged ones I’ve been getting at the grocery store… that stuff won’t even go moldy! I slapped a little butter on one of mine and it was perfectly yummy. The tough part was rolling the dough out thin enough. I can see the point in getting a proper griddle for the purpose, so that will be next on the shopping list.

My point in getting organic, unbleached flour is a good one. Most flour on the market is processed with alloxan, which effectively rots your pancreas from the inside-out. That includes most commercial breads, pastries, crackers, pasta and tortillas. If you’re going to be eating this stuff, you might as well get the cleanest stuff you can find.

I’ve been buying this flour on sale whenever possible. I picked up 5 Lb. bags of King Arthur brand organic unbleached flour for $3.24 each, put them in the freezer for about a week to kill any possible bugs, then suck-wrapped the bags with a spoonful of Diatomaceous earth in the bottom of the bag. I always date what I put into storage.

Now, tortillas are the darling of home-economics teachers everywhere… you can do a lot with them. They can be breakfast, lunch or dessert. They can be a side dish like a piece of bread, or a component of the main dish, like enchiladas.

I plan on finding a source for organic masa harina to make corn tortillas with. I guess I could try with the organic cornmeal I’ve got, though.

Team Up With Other Folks…

June 10th, 2010

Okay… I’ve been ranting on about building up your long-term pantry supplies for a long time now. I got the guidance shortly after Obama got sworn in in 2008, and began executing my guidance slowly.

I have two raised garden beds, and have been sneaking food items in anywhere they will grow. Granted, I’m still in the experimental phase of becoming a farmer. At least I’ve got lettuce, zucchini, some beans and some peppers and herbs working. Still figuring out the collard and mustard greens.

My husband and I have also undertaken a campaign to make sure that all guns in the house actually work. We had to take a vintage target .22 to a gunsmith for professional cleaning, but we got a really good little target pistol out of it. We got out the inherited WWII M1 Carbine and inspected it… just needed to clean out the dust, then get some fresh ammo and a couple more magazines.

Since I’m stocking up for a household of two humans and four cats, I’ve found that sometimes buying bulk is a little too expensive or too big for any one purchase. I’ve got a friend that has another friend, and we three go in together on various items. He’s ordering a carton of the powdered whole eggs from Honeyville Grains, http://www.honeyvillegrain.com , and we’re splitting it three ways. That way, we get the #10 cans of egg powder, for long-time storage, for about $15 each, thereby saving a couple dollars on each can and saving on shipping.

We’ve also gone in together on a 35 Lb. bag of dried onion flakes. Have you any idea how big a 35 Lb. bag of onion flakes is? It’s a bloody futon! Between the three of us, we can split that down, suck-wrap it into manageable portions, and have what we desire in the larder. Most recipes need onions and garlic to taste like much of anything. In fact, most of the recipes I know start with “first you get you a big-ol’ yella onion…”

Talk to your friends and neighbors… get them on the same page and get them into the concept of preparing for some major hiccups in the economy and whatever else, then get them on the bandwagon regarding stocking up. If you’re in the north, you know that you could be snowed in, thereby dependent on your stored food. I’m here in the south, and I’ve been dependent on my stored food for a couple of weeks at a time because of hurricanes. Believe me, being able to whip up a clean casserole out of some rice, canned veggies and a 12 Oz. can of turkey meat is a blessing when the rest of the world is standing in line at an empty grocery store. I’ve found that working from bulk purchases also saves money on groceries in the long term.

To add further emphasis, we know that at the time of the Great Depression, some 90% of all U.S. citizens were rural and mostly self-sufficient, yet we lost some 17 million people to starvation out of a total population of 122,775,046 in 1930. Check my math, but it looks like we lost 1/7th of our population during the Great Depression! Since they led us to war to pull us out of the Depression, we know that somewhere between 30 and 45 million soldiers died in WWII, and there is no way to know an exact number for sure. So we really lost perhaps 62 million people as a result? Holy catz!

NOW we’re down to perhaps 11% rural, and maybe half of those are self-sufficient, meaning that the other 89% are urban. Does that mean that out of 309 million, we’re going to lose 1/7th of our population to starvation, or more, when things finally domino? We know that FEMA has camps set up all over the U.S., ready to take in millions of people. What do you think that would be like? How many people would just plain disappear if they went into FEMA camps? No… better to plan ahead and be able to feed your family. It is easier to cycle food through your pantry than to buy it for any price at times of peak demand and panic buying with worthless currency.

What’s Going On In The Gulf?

June 17th, 2010

Okay… did you notice that Obama had auctioned off the rights to drill in all of the coastal areas just before the BP Rig blew up?

And then Obama declared a 6 month moratorium against all drilling in the Gulf of Mexico? That broke all the contracts for all the rig owners, who then scrambled to find new contracts. When they move a rig, it stays put for a while, barring a large storm. 4 big rigs have already left the Gulf to go work for PetroBras in Brazil. More are going to work for Mexico’s Pemex. An oil rig lease is for several years. Any rig that leaves our coast won’t be back for a long time.

Obama’s 6 month moratorium is chasing all of the rigs out of our Gulf, and therefore all of the oil and gas production. My prediction is that this alone stands to make the US that much more dependent on foreign countries. Because of this alone, we could easily be seeing $4+ a gallon for gas, and who knows what the cost for natural gas is going to run our heaters this winter. Tell me that ain’t gonna present some difficulties. If people can’t afford to get to work, it will further hamper economic recovery. It will certainly make groceries get a lot more expensive simply because of higher shipping costs.

At the same time, Obama is using this to push his carbon tax plan… and no, we ain’t buying it. He’s pushing it through the EPA anyway. The dispersant that BP is using in the Gulf is highly poisonous and the coasts of LA, MS, AL and FL are all finding airborne Benzene levels along the coast to be incredibly high. If you smell anything, get out. Benzene is one of the top most cancer-causing substances around, and the reason why there is so much environmental testing around refineries.

We are currently seeing a lot of saber-rattling between Israel and Iran. This has been buzzing for some months now, and was still up and up front at the Bilderberg Meeting. If they happen to exchange some missiles, it will effectively close the Straits of Hormuz on the Persian Gulf, through which some 80% of the world’s oil supply flows. That will be a huge blow to the world economy, which is already reeling from currency meltdowns. That will push oil prices here a lot higher still. We may see $10 a gallon for gas.

My advice is simple. Pray and send positive energy to all of these situations. Ask your angels, ascended masters and good aliens for assistance in stopping and finding solutions for all of this bad stuff. The reason those illuminati types are trying to trash everything all at once is because we know what they are up to. They are dinosaurs and they don’t even realize they are dying.

In the meantime, please do a few things to prepare for any and all of these scenarios: Have enough cash in the house to pay for what you need for a month in the event of either having to “bug out” or in the event of an extended bank holiday. Have enough food and water in the house to feed your family for at least a month… ideally longer. You might consider pulling your money out of the stock market and putting what’s left of it into gold and silver while it’s still pretty cheap.

All I can say is that we live in interesting times. Gee whiz.

More Gun Info

June 27th, 2010

This evening we just went to El Charro for dinner and Jim Pruitt’s Guns and Ammo afterward, since they are on the other end of the same parking lot. We browsed and chatted, then purchased a couple of boxes of low-recoil 12 gauge ammo. I spotted a couple of firearms I wanted to tell folks about.

They have the Bersa semi-auto handguns, which are highly reliable and accurate… my BIL bought one for each of his daughters… and they’re only about $350 each. Very good and not very expensive at all. http://www.bersafirearmsusa.com/

They also have a good selection of Kel-Tec in all calibers. These are also very moderately priced and they have a great reputation. The Kel-Tec P-32 semi-automatic handguns are very slim, light-weight and are favorites with undercover police. I have one. http://www.kel-tec-cnc.com/

If you only have like $200 to spend on a handgun… they have Hi-Point firearms in the back of the store in that last case. They are semi-auto. They aren’t exactly as low on the scale as a saturday night special, but just a notch or two up. Not designed for a LOT of shooting at the range, but fine for self-protection and a good starting point. http://www.hi-pointfirearms.com/

Why Psychics May Not Work…

July 15th, 2010

I had long since noticed that even though a given psychic reader may have excellent status and reputation within the community, and even with me as well (that’s a whole ‘nother thing), that they can’t seem to read me worth a hoot. I’ve had some readers try to tell me all sorts of crap that they thought I would do, according to their prognostications… and of course, they were dead wrong. One told me that I would divorce my husband. Another said I would have an affair. Another said I was thinking of having an affair. You name it, they’ve said it.

I have long since known that there are people that are psychic as all get-out that are NOT on a spiritual path. Being psychic and being spiritual are two completely different things.

I commented about this to a good friend who happens to be a natural psychic. She summarized things quite well: When you are really on the path, you have given yourself to God, and naturally hold yourself to a higher code of conduct and are completely outside the realm of ego dramas. When you are on the path, you enjoy a level of protection that the other people don’t have.

I l ike it.

Preppers Unite… Quick!

July 16th, 2010

My blog, originally started as a way of teaching about stone medicine and new age/spiritual topics, has shifted toward being an informational forum for other people who have gotten similar guidance to begin making preparations for the oddball times to come.

I’m talking about getting yourselves liquid, getting rid of excess possessions and making a few bucks while you can. Then get into storing food and water, and securing your property and your person. Make sure you have one or more good working guns and plenty of ammo for each one, and make sure each member of your household knows how to use same. Food prices have gone up and estimated 40% since the beginning of the year. In the event of martial law and civil unrest, you will either have to bug-out or shelter in place. How long can you live on the food you have stored in your house? Do you have something to barter with? Silver has been shorted in the markets by the banksters… take advantage of the opportunity to buy some now.

I’ve been trying to get a bead on the time frame of when this stuff is probably going to come about. I tried checking with a couple of astrologers, who both said that it is “hard to call” using their system. Taking a look at the aspects: On July 20th, Saturn goes into Libra, while squaring Pluto and opposing Uranus. Pluto and Uranus are all about CHANGE, while Saturn is about stabilization as well as being a harsh teacher. We have three planets squaring with cardinal signs. The United States was born in Cancer. On July 23rd, Jupiter goes retrograde in Aries… Jupiter is your money planet, and it’s about to go backwards until November 18th. We have some favorable aspects with the full moon on July 25th. On August 6th we have a GRAND CROSS and on August 20th, Mercury goes retrograde until September 12th. That is a lot going on! My astrologer, Enola Dominiak, says that she’s worried that this Saturn in Libra cycle for the next couple of years may involve violence.

Okay… so my own take, based on this and some dowsing along with my own gut: We will probably have one more modest stock market rally this summer, and it won’t last long. The economic stuff will become patently obvious by fall, and the currency could crash between then and the first quarter of 2011. We essentially have through the fall to get it together. If you have a lot of money in IRAs, you may have to start getting it out a little at a time, considering that banks tend to have limits on how much cash they can give you.

http://geraldcelentechannel.blogspot.com/2010/07/alex-jones-issues-red-alert-100.html

When you get the chance, please take a look at this video of Alex Jones’ program posted on Gerald Celente’s blogsite. Granted, Alex Jones’ delivery style is a tad over the top, but I think he’s essentially got it right. We can expect an engineered terror attack, most likely before the end of this year. We can expect the econonmic mess to be patently obvious to all by this fall. We can most likely expect the crash of the dollar early next year.

The cool thing is that WE THE PEOPLE are the wild card in all of this. The globalist cabal is afraid of us. They know we’re waking up and we can oppose them. By standing up and opposing expanding government power, with the use of our law enforcement as nothing more than a revenue-generating tool, we stand up for ourselves and our freedom. Arizona is removing the network of speeding cameras because the majority of people refuse to pay the fines. Arizona has made the federal laws regarding immigration their state laws, and is now poised to enforce those new state laws this summer, in spite of the federal suit to stop them from enforcing the federal law of the land.

Obama clearly wants to crash the system and he’s been siding with an assortment of people with that stated goal. Everyone on Obama’s cabinet is an extremist or globalist, and most have had a hand in creating the economic collapse while directly profiting from taking jobs out of the country and people from their homes. These, and other assorted corporate creepos, are engineering a series of disasters… economic, environmental and socialogical… to suit their own agenda. The cool thing is that voters are already getting rid of the status-quo careerist politicians of both parties in favor of constitutionalists (Tea Party) in the primaries. We can expect Obama and his cronies to push through their agenda as fast as they can while they are still lame ducks in office, before the new people are sworn in. They don’t see any problems with doing as much harm as they can since they no longer have anything to lose. They just passed the so-called “financial reform act” to give the Federal Reserve and the banks even more power. We need to make a lot of noise at these legislators… failing that, we need to make sure our new candidates dismember all that nasty, disasterous legislation.

Gang, we really do have the power to look after ourselves, our families and our communities. The answer to “1984″ is “1776″. We have to be ready to stand up for our freedom. The more noise we make, whether through blogging, or Tea Party events, or simply talking to friends and neighbors one-on-one, is all it takes to stem the tide of the global police state that the CFR and Bilderbergs are trying to impose on us.

Quit Using Google

July 20th, 2010

Gang… you know we’re in a police state, don’t you?

The Google and Yahoo search engines are part of the new world order surveillance system. Every time you use a regular search engine, your search data are recorded… every time. Your search terms, the time of your visit, the links you choose, your IP address and your User ID cookies all get stored in a database. The identity profiles that can be constructed from this cloud of information represent modern day gold for marketers. But government officials, hackers and even criminals also have an interest in getting their hands on your personal search data.

In August 2006, AOL released three months’ worth of aggregated search data from 650,000 of its users, publishing all the details in an online database. This database is still searchable. It is an absolute eye-opener to see the potential for privacy nightmares.

Google recently took down Alex Jones’ “Obama Deception” video, both as a search engine term and as a YouTube video, informing Jones that showing Obama in a bad light isn’t allowed. They also took down some 5,000 blogs. They are now in the business of censoring users and content. Blogsites are the last bastion of non-controlled news and opinion. The world wide web is now the front lines of the propaganda war. Those scummy, murderous, spying control freaks that are trashing our country and our world. We must stand up to this evil.

I am asking you to use StartPage instead. http://www.startpage.com doesn’t collect this data and maintains your privacy.
