When the dollar falls

The United States is heading for bankruptcy, and the leaders are not making any serious attempt to prevent it. The USA is constantly printing money in order to fund the American standard of living and to finance the Iraq war.

At present US debt amounts to $9,000 billion. Although everyone understands that the debt will never be paid off, it continues to mount, says financial correspondent Willem Middelkoop.

Middelkoop writes in his recently published book Als de dollar valt (When the dollar falls): “At some point the US dollar will no longer be accepted and then the American currency will take a huge tumble. The United States will slide into a serious recession with enormous consequences for the world economy.”

The United States is showing all the signs of a declining empire: the Credit Wave of the past two years, the addictive and corrupting habit of throwing good money after bad, deceit in the financial world “are the classic characteristics of the end of an era”

"This new concept is, potentially, as drastic an enlargement of our cosmic perspective as the shift from
pre-Copernican ideas to the realization that the Earth is orbiting a typical star on the edge of the Milky
Way."

There are stars with enough mass to collapse on themselves, forming what have been theorized as black holes. It is thought that within these black holes there is a point called "singularity" at which all physical laws may cease to exist. At this point the curvature of space-time becomes infinitely large, and modern science can no longer predict what will happen.

Einstein's theory of relativity cannot determine what effect singularity will have on an object, forming an uncertainty in our universe.

The Multiverse theory itself, regardless of parallel universes, has many implications.

Maybe life in another universe has a different meaning, but we know that our universe, at the very least is special in that it houses our kind of life.

early Pleidian alien beings

Moving Into your Earth system, they have many requirements for minerals or material which can be found on our earth.

It was understood and known to these ancient beings called Anunnaki.

They came to the point of realizing that they could create, with their genetic science, a group of beings out of the indigenous humanoid apes that existed upon your planet through evolution; they could create a group of beings that would, in that sense, act as workers for
them.

In thus taking some of their own genetic stock, and materials and in fact creating cross-breeding with the apes, they created what we call our Homosapian, approximately 300,000 years ago

they actually continued the genetic experiments to the point where these, beings had full self-realization, and they did inquire after their own independence

Now as soon as that race was created, souls from many of the ancient systems began to incarnate into them

Feeding Cows, Not People

clipper's remarks: More from article:

The American fast-food diet and the meat-eating habits of the wealthy around the world support a world food system that diverts food resources from the hungry.

The cattlemen also tell us, “If grain were not fed to livestock, more grain would not necessarily be available to feed the hungry.” (41) In reality, however, if grain were not fed to livestock, it—and/or the resources needed for its production—would be available for a variety of uses, including feeding the hungry.

“Were it not for grazing animals like cattle, hundreds of millions of acres of U.S. grazing land would have no productive value. No more than 15 percent of the grazing land could be used to produce crops.” (42) Actually, however, the food value to humans of growing grain and other crops for human consumption on the 15 percent of land currently used for grazing that would be suitable for such crops would be comparable to the food value now produced by grazing cattle on the entire amount.

Every time you eat a hamburger you are having a relationship with thousands of people you never met. Not just people at the supermarket or fast food restaurant but possibly World Bank officials in Washington, D.C., and peasants from Central and South America. And many of these people are hungry. The fact is that there is enough food in the world for everyone. But tragically, much of the world’s food and land resources are tied up in producing beef and other livestock—food for the well-off—while millions of children and adults suffer from malnutrition and starvation.

Americans consume a million animals an hour.

Americans consume a million animals an hour.

Every second, 300 living beings are slaughtered for food.

There are virtually no local, state or federal laws protecting animals, either throughout their lives or during slaughter.

Factory farm managers and employees can treat animals in any way they wish in order to maximize profits, with no regard whatsoever for the suffering involved.

Six million hens are being starved to death at any given moment in the U.S. – called “forced molting.”

This inhumane practice results in greater egg production, but thousands die during this 10-14 day mass starvation. Many more die by gorging themselves and choking to death when food finally is provided.

Factory farm managers count these deaths “acceptable,” as long as overall profits remain high.

Every day in the U.S., over 200,000 male chicks are purposely suffocated or thrown, fully conscious, into a grinder to be crushed, as they cannot lay eggs or be sold for food and so are not useful to the farmer.

Your mind - your paralel Universe

PARALLEL REALITIES

The basic paradigm is: because countless of parallel realities exist, there is no only one single outcome of some event – there are countless different outcomes, based on different presumptions/ determinations of different participants – leaving beings.

Practically it means: if you are sure strongly enough that humanity will destroy planet Earth in future, everything in Universe will follow this conviction of yours and eventually you will experience this catastrophe.

At the other side, if you are sure strongly enough that humanity will find right solution and will preserve planet Earth and continue evolution on more positive way, eventually you will experience this positive outcome.

Q: You have said that some time around the year 2000, Earth would split between those of us who would go into fourth density reality and those who would remain in third density.

It actually goes from the idea of your year of 2005 until about 2013.

Bashar: The 4 Laws of Creation

clipper's remarks: No comment.

[Video]

"all is one and one is all"... this sentence is against individuality

"against individuality?" where and when was/is there ever a "law of individuality"

is this where your faith appears? within the stronghold of your belief in the individual?

just look at the word you used, "Individual" meaning, in-divisable, right?

On the contrary I think it is supporting individuality to the fullest extent. No one will be judged for being different because everyone is considered with the same integrity as one considers oneself. Additionally, as we experience more of the world, our perspective widens to include the perspectives of others, and vice versa, and therefore the distinction begins to blur.

Israeli youth rebel against army service

Clip Source: www.share-international.org

Lior Volynitz (photo), 20 years old, is one of many young Israelis who, in recent years, have refused military service because of their country’s policies towards the Palestinians.

In March 2005 he joined 250 other high school students signing a ‘Shministim’ letter.

The letter, explaining why they had refused military service, was sent to the Israeli Prime Minister and other high-ranking officials. Lior was, to his knowledge, the first person in Israel to be spared imprisonment in a military jail because of his political stance as a refusenik.

I refused to serve because I knew if I did I would be doing something wrong, and could not live with it. The Israeli occupation of Palestine and the oppression of our neighbours, like the Israeli war against the Lebanese people and other policies of the Israeli army, are acts I cannot agree with.

I could not join an army whose policies are unjust, and apart from that I don’t believe that violence is the solution and that peace could come out of it.

White Paper for a peaceful Middle East

André Azoulay (photo) is the Advisor to the King of Morocco, first to King Hassan II, and today to King Mohammed VI.

In addition to his professional responsibilities, he has fought for over 30 years for peace and dialogue between the Arab Muslim world and the Jewish communities in Europe, the United States and Morocco as well as the Arab and Jewish diasporas worldwide.

André Azoulay: As an Arab Jew I’m part of this larger regional, geographical, philosophical and culturally diverse community. Its richness of traditions plays a key role in our modern identity, although this also means responsibility: the responsibility to send a different signal to the rest of the Arab and Jewish communities to show them that Jews and Muslims can live in peace together. We belong to the same family. We share the same memories, and we are confronted by the same challenge.

it is vital to build bridges between Muslim and Jewish communities – wherever there are conflicts

Man must learn to simplify his demands

Sun, 18 Nov 2007 10:50:17 GMT

Clip Source: www.share-international.org

Man has ravaged and polluted the Earth, and severely damaged his own environment. Now man must see it as a top priority to remedy what he has hurt and so restore to health his ailing planet.

He must learn to simplify his demands on the planet and learn the beauty of simplicity and the joy of sharing.

The question may be asked: can planet Earth be saved and by what means?

The answer is a resounding YES!

and by means which involve the transformation of the present modes of living by the majority of men.

The paramount ambition of all so-called ‘developed’ countries is to achieve an ever higher percentage of growth of their economies to become, thereby, richer; and, in an economic world based on competition, to attain dominance and power, and so enjoy a higher standard of life.

This being so, the pillaging of the Earth, the cavalier waste of resources, is seen as only natural and necessary.

This irresponsible action has at last brought Planet Earth almost to its knees.

However, there is no doubt that some men, at least, are recognizing that men face a formidable task in halting the progress of destruction and in stabilizing the environment. It is also true that even the most aware and concerned of men know little of the extent and complexity of the problems.

The problem of pollution is such a case. Pollution takes many forms, some obvious and easily dealt with, if the will to do so exists. Some, however, require a science and a remedy as yet unknown to man; they are so toxic and destructive that they must be given high priority to overcome.

The effect of pollution on the quality of air, food, on animals, and on fish, in rivers and the oceans, is known but largely ignored.

The most destructive of all, that caused by nuclear radiation, awaits discovery by Earth scientists.

On all those levels the problems of pollution must be overcome. This can be achieved only by a complete reconstruction of the present political, economic and social structures.

Ice Age Possible for Scandinavia?

Mon, 24 Sep 2007 11:45:26 GMT

clipped by: duvelic
clipper's remarks: From article:
Humans could neither develop agriculture or permanant settlements and in turn would move southward onto other parts of Europe, being pushed by the colder, unstable temperature from home. As the population moves, fights and even battles would break out within the mass migration. Resources within other countries would decline because of the sudden increase in population within their own country. In defense, some countries would declare war. ...
By the end of the decade, Europe's weather would be more of a mirror image of Siberia's or northern Canada's then what it looked like in the past. Unfortunately, the duration of this process could take decades and even centuries.

Global heating of the Scandinavian lattitudes would decrease the cooling of the surface water, its density and its salt content because of increased raining.

The large amount of fresh water from the glacier melt would stop the flow of the Gulf Stream, causing the ocean circulation pattern to change and thus stopping the main source of warm water to Scandinavia.

If the ocean becomes less salty, the stream would lose its density and sink. The cold water that came from these glaciers would press the Stream back and force the warmer water to sink before it rached the coast of the northern countries.

The last time this happened was during the ice age when the polar caps melted, halting the Gulf Stream and leaving everything under ice

If the Gulf Stream did stop, the average temperature may fall as far as 10 degrees celcius.

During an ice age, the circulation of the ocean is slow. The Gulf Stream's flow discontinues and would leave Scandinavia covered in a thick sheet of ice.

Park Skocjanske jame (caves)

Clip Source: www.burger.si

The Škocjanske jame Regional Park is situated in the south-western part of Slovenia, in the region called Kras, or Karst. Kras is the area where researchers first began discovering typical karst formations, karst caves and other karst features, and is therefore also referred to as the original or classical Karst. The internationally accepted term used in karstology for a steep-sided and flat-floored depression -- doline or dolina -- owes its origins precisely to the dolines in the Škocjan area (Velika and Mala dolina), where the Reka river disappears underground for the last time.
