The private banks used the panics to control Washington policy including the exact definition of the private ownership of the new Federal Reserve in 1913, and to consolidate their control over industry such as US Steel, Caterpillar, Westinghouse and the like. They are, in short, old hands at such financial warfare to increase their power&#8230;Now they must do something similar on a global scale to be able to continue to dominate global finance&#8230;”</font></font></p>

<li>Truly well done <a href="http://www.realitysandwich.com/node/901"><strong>article </strong></a>on the astrological forecast for 2008 over at Reality Sandwich.</li>
</ul>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">
<ul>
<li>Foster &amp; Partners is building the spiraling pyramidic mega-structure called <a href="http://www.inhabitat.com/2007/12/26/tallest-skyscraper-in-the-world-coming-to-moscow/"><strong>Crystal Island</strong></a> in Moscow.  <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Foster,_Baron_Foster_of_Thames_Bank"><strong>Sir Norman Foster</strong></a>&#8217;s company is also responsible for the planned <a href="http://www.fosterandpartners.com/Projects/1210/Default.aspx"><strong>World Trade Center</strong></a> replacement, as well as various other designs all over the world which seem to incorporate very interesting geometry.    Check out their various projects, especially the <a href="http://www.fosterandpartners.com/Projects/1613/Default.aspx"><strong>Spaceport America</strong></a>, the <a href="http://www.fosterandpartners.com/Projects/1322/Default.aspx"><strong>Palace of Peace and Reconciliation</strong></a>, the <a href="http://www.fosterandpartners.com/Projects/0966/Default.aspx"><strong>EXPO Station</strong></a>, and the controversial <a href="http://www.fosterandpartners.com/Projects/1015/Default.aspx"><strong>Wembley Stadium</strong></a> in London.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Speaking of architectural geometry, they&#8217;re building solar pyramids in <a href="http://www.solarpyramid.co.uk/"><strong>the UK </strong></a>(amid <a href="http://www.thisisdorset.net/display.var.1941995.0.fury_over_pyramid_plans.php"><strong>great controversy</strong></a>) and <strong><a href="http://www.treehugger.com/files/2006/03/solar_pyramids.php">India</a></strong>&#8230;not sure why but just paying attention to uses and <a href="http://www.share-international.org/background/bcreme/BC_work.htm"><strong>misuses</strong> </a>of this powerful energetic structure&#8230;</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://benjaminfulford.com/indexEnglish.html"><strong>Benjamin Fulford</strong></a>, the anti-Illuminati journalist, interviewed David Rockefeller last month.

Fulford seems to be in an interesting position, supported and protected by the anti-Illuminati Asian secret societies, and says to us about Rockefeller and his cronies, “These guys are finished.  You will be free soon.”</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin-bottom: 0.14in"><font face="Calibri"><font size="3">Readers may know <a href="http://surfingthetao.com/2006/03/21/rabindranath-tagore/"><strong>Rabindranath Tagore</strong></a> is near and dear to my heart.  He is mentor, master, and gentle guiding spirit.  Often it is his words that teach and soothe me above all others.  I found the following essay, “Pagal” or “The Mad Spirit” from an earlier work <em>Bangadarshan</em>, which he reprinted in his book, “Of Myself”.  This essay was written during his middle years, when the peace and tranquility of his early life was shattered by both his ever-increasing fame as well as the war and upheaval in the world at the time.  About these lessons he further explains, “The consciousness that makes our soul know itself arises through obstacles, pulling down the walls of our habits and comfort.  The consciousness that liberates us…&#8217;is a perilous path, so say the seers&#8217;”.</font></font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0.14in">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0.14in">“<font face="Calibri"><font size="3">I know that happiness is an everyday term, joy is something beyond that.  Happiness shrinks at the slightest possibility of being touched by dust, joy rolls in the dust and shatters the walls of its separation from the cosmos.  So for happiness dust is despicable, while for joy it is an adornment.  Happiness is afraid lest it lose something.  Joy is satisfied to distribute whatever it possesses.  That is why for happiness to have nothing is to be poor, while for joy to be poor is to be rich.  Happiness cautiously guards its petty ease within the limits of a system.  Joy loudly proclaims its beauty within the freedom of destruction and upheaval.  So it is that happiness is restricted by rules outside itself, while joy throws off restraint to create its own rules.  Happiness waits expectantly for a little nectar. Joy digests without effort things of sorrow.  So the inclination of happiness is merely towards the pleasant, while for joy the pleasant and the unpleasant are one and the same.</font></font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0.14in">“<font face="Calibri"><font size="3">There is a mad spirit within Creation: whatever is unthinkable or unexpected he ushers in without rhyme or reason….The god of restraining laws is trying to convert the paths of all worldly motions into circles, and this mad spirit is busy leading them astray to make spirals.  This mad one in his caprice has evolved birds in the family of reptiles and man in the family of apes.  There is a strenuous effort in the world at large to maintain what has been and what is; this mad one is upsetting this order and paving the way for what is not.  He has no flute in his hand, the song of harmony is not his, the horn blares out, the rituals set by tradition wither away, and from nowhere an unprecedented state comes and takes its place. …</font></font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0.14in">“<font face="Calibri"><font size="3">In the monotonous triviality of our everyday life, suddenly the terrible breaks in, its wealth of flaming locks flying.  This terrible one awakens as a sudden upheaval in Nature and a tremendous vice in Man.  At that awakening how many happy unions have their binding torn apart, how many relationships of the heart are overturned!  O Terrible One, the throbbing flame on your brow, that lights a lamp in dark homes with its spark, is the same flame at whose conflagration houses burn in the night amid the cries and wails of a thousand human beings.  O Shambhu, at your dance, at your dance-steps to the right and left, great good and great evil erupt in the cosmos.  A pall of mere commonness comes to hang over the world at the touch of everyday existence, and you go on tearing it and ripping it with the powerful blows of good and evil.  You make the current of life throb on and on with the excitement of the unexpected, only to give expression to power in its newer and newer dance and play, and to creation in its newer and newer forms.  Mad spirit, let not my timid heart shrink from taking part in your terrible jubilation.  At the centre of the blood-red sky of destruction, may your third eye that is radiant as the rays of the sun illumine my heart of hearts with eternal brilliance.  Dance, O mad one, dance.  When luminous nebulae spanning millions and billions of miles of sky break into motion at the whirl of this dance, let not the terrible music lose its rhythm in the convulsions of fear in my heart.  O conqueror of death, in all our good and evil may victory be yours.</font></font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0.14in">“<font face="Calibri"><font size="3">This whimsical god of ours – I do not mean to suggest he appears only now and again.  In truth his madness is ever-present in Creation – we only catch a glimpse of it every now and then.  Every day life is renewed by death, good is brightened by evil, the trivial is made precious by the unexpected.   When we catch a glimpse, we witness within beauty the rising of something beyond beauty, and the awakening of freedom within bondage.”</font></font></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">“<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>They definitely do not want us to learn to Surf the Tao, for then we would no longer be victims to their abuse.” <em>- Surfing the Tao: A Revolution of Free Will</em></strong></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">My husband, who is a bit older than I am, commented this morning that if someone went to sleep in 1950 and woke up today, they&#8217;d think the world had gone frigging insane.  I suppose you could say that about any stretch of time in history, but as I pondered his frustration I realized in this case, he really could be correct.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Since most of us haven&#8217;t been asleep for decades, we generally absorb the changes and news as they come without too much trouble.  The paradigm shift happens slowly, so that most people don&#8217;t really notice it&#8217;s happening until they look back and remember what used to be.  Certainly there are major events that shift the paradigm rapidly and radically, like 9/11, and can be a bit more difficult to adjust to.  But just consider news from the past few years – genetically modified foods, millions dying from hunger and poverty while a few elite get even richer, transhumanism, a military that admits testing on its own citizens and is creating new weaponry that threatens the brain wave patterns of entire populations, robot wars, weather modification, nanotechnology and implanted control chips, pharmaceuticals, wars over oil,  disappearing children, genocides, economic collapse&#8230;the horrors seem to grow by the day and few seem to notice.  We flip the channel from the daily body count to tabloid news without blinking.  It&#8217;s not as much that we&#8217;ve grown numb to these things as much as this has simply become our paradigm.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">It got me daydreaming about what our &#8216;paradigm&#8217; was truly meant to be like, and maybe could have been, if we really did live in conscious rhythm with the harmony or harmonics of the universe – if we really did Surf the Tao, so to speak.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">It also made me realize that it&#8217;s quite possible, in fact in my personal opinion it&#8217;s quite evident, that our paradigm has been under attack for quite awhile.   It&#8217;s as if we are tired and want to go to sleep, but there&#8217;s someone constantly poking at us and making noise and stuff.  Or perhaps the opposite; we are trying to wake up from a nightmare but someone keeps drugging us.  Either way it&#8217;s very annoying.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I suppose you could argue about the nature of human existence, as many have and continue to do of course, but all I can do is give my opinion as gleaned from my own inner Surfing revelations.  Humans are uniquely capable of an intense, conscious and compassionate loving nature.  Those out there without this consciousness are either 1) not human or B) devoid of spirit.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The not human thing is particularly difficult for many people.  I don&#8217;t really go there on this blog very much, yet I do touch on it quite a bit in my book.  It&#8217;s radical and still outside our mainstream paradigm; yet I feel we are in the process of conditioning by the Paradigm Police in preparation for this next radical shift (science fiction as entertainment, UFO videos whether real or hoaxed, more and more people &#8216;channeling&#8217; one or another type of being, certain &#8216;disclosure projects&#8217;, etc).  In my opinion the evidence is quite strong that are other, non-human, highly evolved, sentient beings involved in our global affairs, directly with our heads of state or business, and/or from extradimensional realms into our own consciousness.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Whether they come from outer space, cloud nine or even the inner earth is irrelevant.  What matters is what they are telling us.  Because as every good Trekkie know, the #1 Prime Directive is <em>don&#8217;t interfere with a more primitive civilization.</em> Period.  If they are, they&#8217;re either pushing their own selfish agendas, or claiming that they are attempting to &#8217;save us&#8217; from such interference.  I am leery of both; I see it much like our own political scene, in which it <em>seems </em>like there are two sides but in reality there is only one puppet master manipulating us into the position he wants.  Again, within my own spirit, I have the sense that very few, if any, of &#8216;them&#8217;, are Surfing the Tao.  The real good guys know the truth about our present reality; it is illusory and impermanent anyway.  It&#8217;s not really the job of any enlightened being to tell us directly what to do or how to think, aside from love.  They never tell you what to do or where to go.  They are the very opposite of the Paradigm Police.  They want us to sense and follow the Great Rhythm from within our own hearts.  It&#8217;s like the old saying; give a man a fish, he eats for a day.  Teach him to fish and he&#8217;ll eat for a lifetime. That&#8217;s why those who insinuate themselves upon us for their own gain are the most insidious of all.  They are interfering with the very Rhythm of the Tao itself, instead forcing their own agenda-laden paradigm upon a naïve and unwitting population.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">As for B) devoid of spirit; well, talk about unwitting.  It&#8217;s pretty obvious most people live today without any spiritual awareness at all, thanks to the Paradigm Police and their swanky, third-dimensional stage set up by our world&#8217;s elite, who profit from our ignorance and resultant powerlessness.  Of course there are many varieties of spirituality out there today and many conscious, loving souls who work hard to stay above water in a material world flooded with distractions and physical stimuli.  And yet, for the most part, our world&#8217;s spiritual paths have long been infiltrated; they are sterile, third-dimensional, close-minded, traditional, political, hierarchical, cultural and habit-based practices that in most cases leave the real spirit generally uninvolved.  It leaves that empty place within ourselves open to harassment from other sources.  If we don&#8217;t even realize or believe we have spirits, they are in danger of being usurped for other agendas.  Nature abhors a vacuum.  That&#8217;s where the nasty side of human behavior comes from; without conscious love, people are susceptible to cruel, criminal behavior – as well as simple blind acceptance of the status quo.  Lack of spiritual awareness leaves one open to interference from the Paradigm Police.  It keeps us from two very important realizations: that our world has become completely ridiculous, and that we have the power to do something about it.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Looking back throughout history one sees evidence that there has always been those who attempt to harness and control and mindsets of the people of the time.  Most have done this through politics, war, culture, etc – though some have tried to teach us otherwise, i.e. Jesus, Buddha and others.  Unfortunately even their messages have been turned upside down by the powers-that-be.  Ours is a winding road replete with detours, roadblocks and misleading signs; and yet, if we truly stop and listen to our Higher Selves, we will realize the Way is not Out There, it is Within Us.  This truly would be a revolution of free will.  If just one person at a time were to wake up and take away the power of the Paradigm Police our world would begin to shift, perhaps upwards to a place we have yet to imagine.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">“<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>If powerful men and women could remain centered in the Tao, all things would be in harmony.  The world would become a paradise.  All people would be at peace, and the law would be written in their hearts.” <em>- Tao Te Ching #32</em></strong></span></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><strong>“<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery.  None but ourselves can free our minds.” -<em> Bob Marley</em></span></span></strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Mind control and other emerging neuroscientific technologies and weaponry constitute a frightening aspect of the future we presently inhabit.  When one considers potential spiritual ramifications, as perhaps not all researchers and reporters do, it becomes clear that at the very least, awareness is crucial.  The only question that remains is what we can do about it.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-style: normal"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Information is not the problem.  Even if we have access to only the tip of the iceberg in terms of what has been released to the public, one can write books on it.  Recently, one person did; last year Dr. Jonathan Moreno, a bioethicist, published <em><a href="http://astore.amazon.com/surthetao-20/detail/1932594167/104-0869601-1025558">Mind Wars: Brain Research and National Defense</a>. </em><span style="font-style: normal">Granted, as a former government advisor on biodefense, and child of another Dr. Moreno, a psychiatrist known for his own questionable psychotherapeutic endeavors including human experiments with LSD in the &#8217;50s and &#8217;60s, one does wonder at his motives.  Especially interesting is that he made a point of insisting he went as far as he could in his research (though he admits he hit a few brick walls in terms of what certain people and agencies were willing to divulge about military uses for the technologies), and then proclaimed he was &#8216;no conspiracy theorist&#8217; to the extent that he didn&#8217;t quite believe the stories of people who claimed to have been victims of CIA-led mind control experiments and torture.  That there are secrets too big to contain?  Poppycock.  In the name of national security (and perhaps threats to family, etc.) any and all can be kept quiet.  Make no mistake about that.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-style: normal"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">His refusal to believe the disturbing stories is strange especially since in the &#8217;90s, he worked on a presidential advisory committee investigating secret human radiation experiments by the US Government since the 1940s.  It was during that time he learned of the CIA&#8217;s interest in LSD and other brain-altering methods – and still, in his own words, “it took the better part of another decade for me to achieve the insight that let to the idea behind this book: If national security agencies had so much interest in how the relatively primitive brain science of the 1950s and 1960s could help find ways to gain a national security edge, surely they must be at least as interested today, when neuroscience is perhaps the fastest growing scientific field, both in terms of numbers of scientists and knowledge being gained.“  (p.3)  If it took someone so deeply involved in the subject matter ten years to begin questioning the ethics of new neuroscientific technologies, it does beg the (perhaps conspiratorial) thought: maybe we really are under some kind of mass hypnosis of non-knowing.  Asleep we are, whilst wizards wage war right under our noses&#8230;or perhaps, behind them.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-style: normal"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">On the other hand, at least he&#8217;s bringing up the subject and beginning a dialogue on the disconcerting topic of ethics in regard to the use of these little-understood systems.  He suggests that these new technologies may warrant consideration for new rules, policies, standards and treaty obligations.  Dr. Moreno found it “amazing” that no one had yet analyzed the relationship between brain science technology and national defense.  Personally I&#8217;m not surprised.  These agencies don&#8217;t want their secrets out; that&#8217;s what national security is all about.   Information is kept divided between multiple scientists and studies, the right hand never knowing what the left one is doing.  However I might add, if it&#8217;s being tested, or worse, full-out used on our own population, we surely have the right to question the ethics and demand standards; but we may never really know if they would be adhered to, because the technologies themselves (many of which likely will never be declassified) could help to keep us in a state of denial or non-knowing or even not-caring.  The capabilities of these technologies, even what little we know of them, can be frightening.  It&#8217;s like a science fiction/horror movie come to life.  And some of them are coming to a neighborhood near you.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Much of the information available comes from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DARPA">DARPA</a>, which Dr. Moreno reminds us is not an espionage outfit but a science agency, and is involved with development of “dual use” neuroscientific technologies valuable to both civilian commerce and national security.   Apparently there was no way to know for sure whether the CIA or other espionage agencies were also researching brain sciences, since that would remain &#8216;black&#8217;, or secret, explains Dr. Moreno.  However what we do know seems disturbing enough to start with, if I may suggest.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal">Certainly one is encouraged at the idea that robotized limbs might prove useful to amputees and paralysis victims.  <a href="http://www.technologyreview.com/Biotech/19195/">This article</a> about electric fields being used against cancer tumors is also interesting.  However “dual use” does raise Terminator-like concerns.  Move over, Bionic Woman.  Imagine an army of robots, Asimov-style; or perhaps, an army of soldiers with implanted neural prostheses.  A <a href="http://pressesc.com/news/80530072007/pentagon-implant-microchips-soldiers-brains">recent article</a> informs us that the Pentagon is working on what could be the first phase of this idea by implanting chips in our soldier&#8217;s brains; do you believe they intend only to monitor their health, when we already know about <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos%C3%A9_Manuel_Rodriguez_Delgado">Dr. Delgado&#8217;s behavior control experiments</a> with monkeys and bulls?  Long range, electronic control of animals is already a proven ability.  The <a href="http://www.augmentedcognition.org/">Augmented Cognition</a> program, or AugCog, is an interesting offshoot of this concept, involving human-systems integration. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal">Psyops, or psychological operations, reportedly began sometime after World War II, first involving low-tech propaganda such as leaflets.  Research into paranormal phenomena such as remote viewing followed in the 1970s with studies at the Stanford Research Institute (SRI).  Dr. Moreno touched on experiments with neuropharmaceuticals, Manchurian-candidate style.  <a href="http://www.mindjustice.org/emr13.htm">Psychotronic weapons</a>, such as electromagnetic radiation or ELF (extra-low frequency) waves and other Tesla technologies, have proven interesting since the 1970s to the Soviet and the Chinese military, among others, and were mentioned in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Preservation_Act">Space Preservation Act of 2001</a> along with other &#8216;exotic weapons&#8217; such as chemtrails.  Such technologies are known to be able to influence the psychological states of humans from great distances.  <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FMRI">fMRI</a> (functional magnetic resonance imagery) technology could identify at a distance individuals with increased blood flow to the brain, thereby suggesting they might be prone to aggressive behavior.  Imagine such use at airports, for example.  Fortunately, as Dr. Moreno points out, a big problem here is a giant magnet like that would suck everyone up along with their jewelry and belt buckles!  Unfortunately, it seems they are working on a way around that problem; <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2007/aug/09/terrorism">Project Hostile Intent</a> was reported just a few days ago in </span></span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><em>The Guardian</em></span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal">, planned implementation being 2012.  The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_fingerprinting">brain fingerprinter</a> is another development causing many to worry that the military can, or is trying to, actually read our minds, and the issue of cognitive liberties is aptly noted.  I don&#8217;t think George Orwell would be very surprised.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal">Other DARPA programs such as PDS (Preventing Sleep Deprivation) and “Metabolic Dominance” promise enhanced abilities for soldiers, involving pharmaceuticals.  Artificial intelligence programs such as LifeLog, now defunct, sought to artificially store memories and experiences; today, the Advanced Soldier Sensor Information System and Technology (ASSIST) seeks that very goal in combat situations.  There&#8217;s also talk of altering soldiers&#8217; neural circuits to lessen fear and stress.  <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transhuman">Transhumanism</a> seems to many a natural evolution of our species; to others, the very death of it.  Here the issue of spirituality seems quite threatened, in my opinion.  Where does one draw the line, and where might spiritual individuality or awareness become lost?  Visions of </span></span></span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borg_%28Star_Trek%29"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><em>Star Trek&#8217;s</em></span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal"> Borg</span></span></span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal"> are marching through my head.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal"><a href="http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/munitions/non-lethal.htm">Non-lethal weapons</a> are fast becoming the talk of the war room.  The Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Program (JNLWP), part of the US Marines, defines non-lethals as, “weapons that are explicitly designed and primarily employed so as to incapacitate personnel or materiel, while minimizing fatalities, permanent injury to personnel, and undesired damage to property and the environment.” The Pentagon, among others, is interested in technologies that have use in “Operations Other Than War” (OOTW).  Crowd control, hostage rescue, and capture of criminals or terrorists are named as such situations.   Acoustic devices are among those which have caught my attention.  <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypersonic_sound">Hypersonic sound </a>(HSS) was first developed by a genius inventor called Woody Norris, about whom the <a href="http://www.woodynorris.com/Articles/NewYorkTimesMagazine.htm">New York Times Magazine</a> did a fascinating story in 2003.  This device can aim sounds at individuals or groups, at debilitating volumes, without affecting surrounding people or areas.  LRADs (Long Range Acoustic Devices) are already in use by the military, used as information and warning devices.  HIDAs (High Intensity Directed Acoustics) are more aggressive, like &#8217;sonic bullets&#8217;, creating intense pain and vomiting.  <a href="http://trappedinmatter.blogspot.com/2007/08/emergency-notification-system.html">Trapped in Matter&#8217;s blog</a> recently commented on an emergency warning device going up in downtown Chicago; he took a picture of it, and it resembles our upgraded tsunami-warning sirens here in Hawaii, which I took <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/surfingthetao/">some shots</a> of yesterday.  Also check out <a href="http://www.coasttocoastam.com/gen/page2156.html?theme=light">this crazy picture</a>; we have these towers here too, purportedly cell phone towers, but in Phoenix they are disguised as palm trees!  These devices are going up rapidly all over the place.  It doesn&#8217;t take much imagination to understand they probably have more than one use.  Certainly <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HAARP">HAARP,</a> which uses electromagnetic radiation to influence the <a href="http://www.bariumblues.com/em_mind%20control.htm">Schumann resonance</a>, and thereby our own bodies and weather systems, comes to mind, no pun intended.  For more information on this technology, which is now fully operational worldwide, I suggest starting with <a href="http://www.haarp.net/">HAARP.net </a>or <a href="http://www.jerryesmith.com/">Jerry Smith</a>.  There&#8217;s enough about that to warrant the <a href="http://astore.amazon.com/surthetao-20/104-0869601-1025558?_encoding=UTF8&amp;node=2">many books</a> already written about it. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal">Stinkbombs, or malodorants, are another area of research.  Recently in the news is the new flashlight weapon, called the <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,292271,00.html?abc=123">LED Incapacitator</a>, which flashes lights that make you disoriented and nauseous.  <a href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/08/070803125134.htm">Nanotechnology</a> is also rapidly progressing; who knows the implications of that yet.  Perhaps most concerning is technology, such as the so-called “<a href="http://www.tearingdownstrongholds.com/global_mind_control.htm">Frequency Fence</a>” which supposedly cuts of an individual&#8217;s connection with their higher self, and the Holographic Insert, which can made three-dimensional objects (alien invasion?  Second coming?  9/11?) appear in the sky.  I could find a lot of rumors about those but not much substantive information.  What I could find is evidence that there are proven capabilities to inject words and/or images directly into people&#8217;s minds.  See <a href="http://mindjustice.org/symptoms.htm">MindJustice</a> for more on this.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal">Dr. Moreno ends his book by recommending these technologies remain within the realms of both academic and military research, so that the ethics of their uses can be controlled; but remember he did admit there is evidently quite of bit of secret research going on that even he couldn&#8217;t find out about.  &#8216;Informed consent&#8217; is another of his recommendations for human experimentation; yeah, that&#8217;ll happen.  As if our government even abides by the Geneva Convention anymore </span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal">So what to do?  It&#8217;s easy to become fearful, that&#8217;s for sure – and yet we must be careful NOT to fall into that trap; fear has a certain frequency of its own, and spiritual awareness, not to mention love, is far more difficult in that state.  There are several places to find out more and/or get help if you believe you&#8217;ve been a victim; check out <a href="http://www.cognitiveliberty.org/">Center for Cognitive Liberty and Ethics</a>, the <a href="http://americancognitivelibertiesassoc.org/default.aspx">American Cognitive Liberties Association</a>, or even <a href="http://www.slavery.org.uk/">Christians Against Mental Slavery</a>.  But aside from that, here are a few practical recommendations.  Take care not to consume too many food additives or chemicals; these can and <a href="http://www.wnho.net/nutrapoison.htm">do alter the brain</a>, perhaps even resonating in concert with some of the technologies mentioned above.  Take some time to connect with your higher power; whether through prayer, meditation, music, yoga, tai chi, art, sports, or whatever works for you.  Just find and maintain a higher consciousness as best you can. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal">Finally, I&#8217;d like to end with a little telling test of hope. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal">Point to yourself.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal">That&#8217;s right; point to yourself.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal">Where did you point?  In my experience I&#8217;ve found that most people place their finger or hand on their chest or heart, rather than their head.  And this is a good thing.  It tells me that what makes us </span><em>us</em><span style="font-style: normal">, our I AM so to speak, resides not in our brains but somewhere else.  The essence of our spirit, and I believe we are spirit beings riding around temporarily in physical bodies, is connected to and resonates with a certain frequency that could remain outside the purview of our military if we simply </span><em>know</em><span style="font-style: normal"> and </span><em>practice</em><span style="font-style: normal"> this awareness.  And TUNE IN to the frequency of LOVE.  This seems simple and obvious but can actually be the most difficult thing to do, considering all the non-love we get bombarded with every day.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal">So am I horrified at these new technologies?  Yes.  Am I afraid?  No.  Don&#8217;t stick your head in the sand; and yet, don&#8217;t let them rule your life or get you down.  I believe it&#8217;s simply part of what is meant to happen, before we can take ourselves to the next level of being – or frequency.  Our present dimension is not the end, nor is it the only one; quantum physics can teach us that already.  What the powers-that-be may not realize is that they are increasing our awareness and understanding of the frequency of being to the extent that many more of us may indeed be able to escape their control one day.  I personally have had the experience, in mediation, of touching a higher place (certainly I&#8217;m not the only one, either); I&#8217;m not going to preach to you about heaven, but I do believe in higher dimensions and our ability to get to a place where love rules the day.  Can&#8217;t prove it, but I&#8217;ve been there, and I plan on going back as soon as I can pass on the info to a few more souls</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal">So keep the faith.  All is not lost – not by a long shot.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><strong>“<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal">Your mind should be in harmony with the functioning of the universe; your body should be in tune with the movement of the universe; body and mind should be bound as one, unified with the activity of the universe.”  -</span><em>The Art of Peace</em></span></span></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font size="2">Prophecy is a difficult subject for me, not because I think it’s not  possible, but simply because there are so many false voices out there that a lot  of disinformation and propaganda gets let in through the open doors. I mean, how  many times have people set a date for the end of the world in the past? Don’t  get me started on that one. </font></p>
<p><font size="2">On the other hand, I do believe many people will be able to determine without  much difficulty some of the likely events that are to come. It doesn’t take a  psychic to see there will probably be another really big, terrible “</font><a href="http://www.abcnews.go.com/Blotter/story?id=3336148"><u><font color="#0000ff" size="2">terrorist</font></u></a><font size="2">”  attack sometime in the near future. All you have to do is read the news. </font></p>
<p><font size="2">It’s also pretty clear we are being groomed for </font><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_government"><u><font color="#0000ff" size="2">world government</font></u></a><font size="2">.  Right now,  fear is being used to great advantage towards that goal. However, and  unfortunately, so is love and what people see as “doing the right thing”. For  example, some believe </font><a href="http://www.newgreenorder.info/"><u><font color="#0000ff" size="2">environmental issues</font></u></a><font size="2"> are one way to  manipulate us into accepting world government. I mentioned in a </font><a href="http://surfingthetao.com/2007/06/25/deep-integration-the-coming-north-american-union/"><u><font color="#0000ff" size="2">past post</font></u></a><font size="2"> that  immigration is noted by some as a machination for the North American Union,  which is one stop closer to world government. After watching some of </font><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEFoq_5RbC4&amp;mode=related&amp;search="><u><font color="#0000ff" size="2">Michael Moore’s</font></u></a><font size="2"> new </font><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joaAfBr9tAE&amp;NR=1"><em><u><font color="#0000ff" size="2">Sicko</font></u></em></a><font size="2">, I realized with at start that the  health care issue will likely be another turning point in that debate. Clever,  they are. </font></p>
<p><font size="2">At some point, we will be so fatigued from war, terrorist threats, economic  hardship, weather-related disasters, hunger, poverty and whatever other such  things you can think of, that the world will </font><a href="http://infowars.net/articles/june2007/250607study.htm"><u><font color="#0000ff" size="2">begin to clamor</font></u></a><font size="2"> for a </font><a href="http://www.worldpublicopinion.org/pipa/articles/btunitednationsra/355.php?nid=&amp;id=&amp;pnt=355&amp;lb=btun"><u><font color="#0000ff" size="2">strong world union</font></u></a><font size="2"> that will make all those issues as well as health care, environmental  pollution and even </font><a href="http://www.thenewamerican.com/tna/2002/09-23-2002/vo18no19_religion.htm"><u><font color="#0000ff" size="2">religious  division</font></u></a><font size="2"> a thing of the past. The </font><a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/07/01/weu101.xml"><u><font color="#0000ff" size="2">EU</font></u></a><font size="2"> is quite  far along on this path, and North America, </font><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASEAN"><u><font color="#0000ff" size="2">Asia</font></u></a><font size="2"> and </font><a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/6260274.stm"><u><font color="#0000ff" size="2">Africa</font></u></a><font size="2"> are  close behind. I know; it </font><a href="http://www.worldpublicopinion.org/pipa/pdf/jun07/CCGA%2B_FullReport_rpt.pdf"><u><font color="#0000ff" size="2">sounds  good</font></u></a><font size="2">, but if you don’t think all of those things and  more have been a result of the machinations of the world’s elite for decades and  even centuries (and that the roots are based in suspicious religious </font><a href="http://thebravenewworldorder.blogspot.com/"><u><font color="#0000ff" size="2">symbology</font></u></a><font size="2">) in  order to fulfill their goal of ultimate power, you have a lot of reading to do.  It’s not secret any longer; it’s just not discussed every night on CNN. I pay  attention when people like Bob Woodward warn us about the “</font><a href="http://www.collegenews.org/x7064.xml"><u><font color="#0000ff" size="2">secret government</font></u></a><font size="2">.”  They are hard at work <a href="http://surfingthetao.com/2007/05/14/immanentize-the-eschaton/">immantentizing the eschaton</a>.<br />
</font></p>
<p><font size="2">The hardest part will be, the new order won’t <em>seem</em> bad. In fact it  will </font><a href="http://www.share-international.org/"><u><font color="#0000ff" size="2">seem the very  essence</font></u></a><font size="2"> of love, peace and harmony. The elites will  most likely </font><a href="http://www.mcclatchydc.com/world/story/17427.html"><u><font color="#0000ff" size="2">sacrifice</font></u></a><font size="2"> many of their </font><a href="http://www.ft.com/cms/s/70046760-27f0-11dc-80da-000b5df10621.html"><u><font color="#0000ff" size="2">own organizations</font></u></a><font size="2"> in order to fulfill this part of their plan. And many </font><a href="http://www.wfm.org/site/index.php/base/main"><u><font color="#0000ff" size="2">others</font></u></a><font size="2"> are  already being formed in the name of </font><a href="http://itstimetosavetheworld.net/"><u><font color="#0000ff" size="2">saving the planet</font></u></a><font size="2">.  It will be easy to  manipulate the masses with such a scam, especially if they are weary, hungry and  sick &#8211; or even devastated by a worldwide catastrophe like nuclear war or a polar  shift.  In such a scenario, many who are against </font><a href="http://cadeveo.wordpress.com/2007/06/27/what-the-rapture-might-look-like-how-it-already-does-pt-2/#comment-543"><u><font color="#0000ff" size="2">microchipping</font></u></a><font size="2"> now will cave and  take the mark.  And you don’t have to be a believer in the book of Revelation to  be suspicious of that. </font></p>
<p><font size="2">By that time I, and many others like me, will likely be erased from the  Internet. That is why I feel it’s important to pass on these thoughts now. I’m  not claiming to be a prophet or setting any dates; I’m only saying what I think  many others could see too, simply if they read history and today’s headlines. I  can’t say how many years it will take. 2012 casts a big shadow, but I’m not  putting my money there or anywhere. When I search my spirit, though, I am warned  that time is very short. This will be dealt with in our generation. The agenda  is gaining momentum, and personally I give it only a few years, if that.</font></p>
<p><font size="2">I’m not sure why I feel so moved to warn that these things may happen. I feel  if I can do anything besides, it would be to provide moral support, because no  matter what happens, it will still be </font><a href="http://surfingthetao.com/2007/06/28/its-all-good/"><u><font color="#0000ff" size="2">all good</font></u></a><font size="2">. Though I deny my insights are any  deeper or greater than anyone else’s, nor can I prove it to anyone, I will share  that I have had personal experiences that have led me to Know that we are  destined for a bright and wonderful future where these powers-that-be don’t  exist. Just keep walking and Know, this too will pass.  Meanwhile keep Surfing the Tao. Live in love, but pay attention. Have no  fear, but don’t wallow in ignorance. Prepare and protect your loved ones. Simply  <em>Knowing</em> these things will set us free in a way we cannot even begin to  imagine right now.  </font></p>
<p><font size="2">&#8220;Those who try to control, who use force to protect their power, go against the direction of the Tao.&#8221; -<em>Tao Te Ching</em>, #77<br />

<p><span style="font-size: 9pt">From <a href="http://thetyee.ca/Views/2007/06/08/DeepIntegrate/"><em>The Plan to Disappear Canada</em></a> by Murray Dobbin, “If the machinations going on in this country regarding so-called &#8220;deep integration&#8221; were instead a communist conspiracy to take over the country (you will, of course, have to try hard to imagine this) the news media would be blaring the story. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 9pt">Pundits would pontificate, editorialists would erupt, security forces would be unleashed. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 9pt">Instead, a virtual conspiracy to make the country disappear through assimilation into the U.S. gets barely a mention.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 9pt">But news of the scheme &#8212; formally called the <a href="http://www.spp.gov/" target="_blank">Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP)</a> &#8212; is finally breaking out of the secret chambers of the ruling elite and the federal government. This is both good news and bad. It&#8217;s good that ordinary citizens are finally getting a glimpse of the betrayal of their country. The news is bad because it reflects just how much of this scheme is already being implemented. “</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 9pt">Mr. Dobbin goes on to summarize the main points of the arrangements in the works.<span> </span>Our government claims the agreement is still ‘informal’ (White House spokesman Tony Snow called the NAU a ’<a href="http://lonewacko.com/blog/archives/006693.html">myth</a>’), but <a href="http://www.stopthenorthamericanunion.com/PropagandaBuster.html">others insist</a> it was signed without our approval on <a href="http://usinfo.state.gov/is/Archive/2005/Mar/23-209281.html">March 23, 2005</a> in Waco, Texas by President George W. Bush, Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin and Mexican President Vicente Fox.<span> </span>From <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Pastor">Robert Pastor</a> at the <a href="http://www.cfr.org/content/publications/attachments/NorthAmerica_TF_final.pdf">CFR,</a> “The main recommendation of the Task Force is the creation, by 2010 at the latest, of a North American security and economic community whose boundaries will be defined by a common external tariff and an outer security perimeter&#8221;.<span> </span>Indeed, over 300 agencies are already ‘harmonizing’ regulations of such things as energy, taxes, tariffs, and pesticides, many of which were originally part of NAFTA and are now being ‘fast-tracked’ by the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_and_Prosperity_Partnership_of_North_America">SPP initiative</a>.<span> </span>Even a trilateral <a href="http://usinfo.state.gov/xarchives/display.html?p=washfile-english&amp;y=2007&amp;m=June&amp;x=20070608184507JMnamdeirF0.3027918">open skies</a> initiative has been discussed.<span> </span>(Incidentally, the US and the EU are also <a href="http://usinfo.state.gov/xarchives/display.html?p=washfile-english&amp;y=2007&amp;m=April&amp;x=20070430185112MVyelwarC0.5934107">‘harmonizing’ regulations</a>.)<span> </span><a href="http://www.irc-online.org/americaspolicy/am/4276">Security</a> concerns have always topped the list of justifications for integration. At least one <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBmFrYWPoG8">NAFTA superhighway</a> is also in the works (with new <a href="http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/july2006/260706rfidcard.htm">RFID tracking</a> technology), even though fourteen states have petitioned Congress to abandon the SPP.<span> </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 9pt"><a href="http://thetyee.ca/News/2006/10/12/Forum/">Secretive summits</a> have been held as critics declare an elitist corporate agenda works out the details of their scheme away from prying eyes.<span> </span>Indeed they may have good reason: outspoken critics include <a href="http://www.augustreview.com/news_commentary/north_american_union/lou_dobbs_slams_north_american_union_2007040654/">Lou Dobbs</a>, <a href="http://www.house.gov/paul/tst/tst2006/tst103006.htm">Rep. Ron Paul</a>, <a href="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=53947">Rep. Virgil Good (R-Va)</a>, and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uyWiGQ_tgM">Connie Fogal</a> of the <a href="http://www.canadianactionparty.ca/media.html">Canadian Action Party</a>, and there are <a href="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=56264">plans to protest</a> the next meeting of the SPP on August 21-22nd in Montebello, Quebec.<span> </span>Opponents from both <a href="http://www.vivelecanada.ca/staticpages/index.php/ribbon">Canada</a> and <a href="http://www.stopthenau.org/">the US</a> are up in arms over the potential loss of <a href="http://www.aim.org/aim_report/5517_0_4_0_C/">sovereignty</a>.<span> </span><a href="http://www.stopthenorthamericanunion.com/NAUArticles.html">Others</a> go further, claiming the plans are an act of treason or sedition.<span> </span>At least two other recent acts, the National Defense Authorization Act of 2007(<a href="http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?tab=summary&amp;bill=h109-5122">NDAA</a>), which gives the President dictatorial powers in the case of ‘public emergency’, and the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_Commissions_Act">Military Commissions Act</a> which suspended habeas corpus in 2006, have been linked to the plans by some opponents.<span> </span>For more information, <a href="http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=viewArticle&amp;code=VIV20061220&amp;articleId=4216">here</a> is a timeline of the events leading up to <a href="http://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/CRA205A.html">deep integration</a>, <a href="http://www.stopthenorthamericanunion.com/ProLinks.html">those organizations</a> working to support the plan, and <a href="http://www.stopthenorthamericanunion.com/AntiLinks.html">those</a> fighting against it.<span> </span><a href="http://www.spectrezine.org/NorthAmerica/hillard.htm">Pierre Hillard</a> also provides a substantial overview, as does Dr. Jerome R. Corsi in his book, <em><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Late-Great-U-S-Coming-Merger/dp/0979045142">The Late Great USA</a></em>.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 9pt">Proponents insist there are no plans to undermine the US Constitution or create a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amero">unified currency</a>, but <a href="http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/viewArticle.asp?articleID=21128">others maintain</a> these issues will likely be addressed eventually, and probably already have been behind closed doors.<span> </span><span> </span>Immigration will certainly play a major role in the decision-making process; some wonder if the issue is being used as a <a href="http://777denny.wordpress.com/2007/06/19/is-the-immigration-debate-a-diversion-for-a-north-american-union/">diversion</a>, or a “<a href="http://www.stopthenorthamericanunion.com/PropagandaBuster.html">mechanism</a> for achieving the globalists’ NAU goal”.<span> </span>From <a href="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=55787">WorldNetDaily.com</a>, “WASHINGTON &#8212; The controversial <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comprehensive_Immigration_Reform_Act_of_2007">&#8216;Secure Borders, Economic Opportunity and Immigration Reform Act of 2007</a>,&#8217; which would grant millions of illegal aliens the right to stay in the U.S. under certain conditions, contains provisions for the acceleration of the Security and Prosperity Partnership, a plan for North American economic and defense integration, WND has learned.&#8221;<span> </span>Attaching such an emotional and controversial issue to the globalization agenda is a cleverly sinister way to achieve their eventual goals of a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_World_Order_%28conspiracy%29">New World Order</a>.</span></p>
