The Death of Humanities

Artist J.R. Slattum

AI has taken the dictionary and whipped it with a battered rolling pin and Olé, let us seize this day of stolen words conveyed, twisted in a Grammelot breaded knot. Should we say yea or nay, hippity hip hooray, here's a toast to your jam; well well we'll be damned. Take our bloody pens, take our rotten creativity, rob us of our words, death be but a flightless featherless bird; so let us eat crow, whence all art awaits upon death row.

People Enter A Conscious Existence

People Enter A Conscious Existence 

by Michelle Culp

This is how Peace will come our way, for humanity will save the day:

Excuse me Sir, there's a plunge in the market on common sense, not nearly a cent

Uh-oh there goes the material, the criterial.

Down falls the castles made of golden fools and all their jewels.

Oops there goes the material 

Uh-oh the Imperial, are back to eating cereal.

Breaker breaker 1/9, we can't get past this food line.

Oops there goes the material, everything's immaterial.

Commander, Commander no one can get guns, should we run?

Commander: without ordnance, all is of unimportance.

Uh-oh there goes the materials, the false profits of ministerials

We're without a wing and prayer, no one seems to care.

Oops it's back to common sense, wherefore we were there before the materialism, criterial-ism, Imperial-ism, ministerial-ism...

Hip hip hooray; back to the basics of humanity, before all this insanity.

Geronimo

Geronimo

Oh how my bones rattle in the grave, when you call my name

Awww to know my life was not lived in vain

Up above, the sounding whirl winds blow

And with bated breath, one leap of faith; I hear the mighty shouts, Geronimo

Oh upon such a day, whence you reach that veil between Heaven and Hell

Thence as you slip into that vast abyss, not knowing which way you go

I hope, with your final breath, you find the same strength to shout with glee, Geronimo

I am free, I am free; let it be.

November is designated as National Native American Heritage Month.  

Geronimo (1829-1909) was an Apache leader and medicineman.

"Geronimo was the leader of the last American Indian fighting force formally to capitulate to the United States. Because he fought against such daunting odds and held out the longest, he became the most famous Apache of all."

In my opinion, whether because of ones health, accent, lifestyle, color of skin… whether rejected or ridiculed or some other means of communal castration, no matter how small or large any difference or the bullying or any consequence thereof be; the complete eradication of prejudice will remain a centuries old vicarious plague spurred from societal statistical stigmatic stigma, hysterically injected into the ill-reputed frail failing intellect of the majority who damningly dare to declare what differentiates from the norm. For example; I recently read about a son spurned by his own flesh and blood, “a vicious parent shaming still its child”¹. ‘^*Revolted by his father’s injustice’, the son left home at an all to early age, set upon a journey to prove or find his roots. Regrettably; during his mission, he was essentially met with a series of harsh condemnations. Ultimately; the son becomes consumed with self-delusion and an insatiable appetite for revenge to be inflicted upon those who once dared to flaunt their popularity, while others refused to embrace his uniqueness cloaked in natural flaws.

Fortunately "²the pen is mightier than the sword", so he merely immerses himself into his literary work. At last the world is his stage and he could not have chosen a better place. For whom among us has not been psychologically moved or entertained by words upon a page. Or our attention drawn to a character in a play, opera, movie, or a mere sit-com? And so with pen and paper the son makes his plight known for others to read then mourn, scorn, ponder, or wonder. Except to him, his anguish was the worse of anyone. Nonetheless; in due course the son grew into his own isolated culture rejected existence. After some time; a Woman professed, “^*Evidently God has made us for each another! I am like you…” Soon afterwards the son married her, asserting; “^*Blessed be the sorrows I have borne… Heaven was keeping such unhoped consolation in reserve! Until today I feared myself doomed to eternal singleness and to tell you the truth it was a heavy burden to bear”. Though; had he truly loved her for herself and not out of a seemingly Narcissist reflection of himself; then when her true colors came beautifully shining through, he would not have (for shame or other matters) discarded her much as he had been cast off by the population. Yet he did flee from her side; “^*to abandon the career of literature, to escape into the desert and if possible shun for ever after the sight of living creatures. To seek, indeed, like Alceste”. Oh but as fate or merely an ill-fated wind would have it; the son landed not far from where as a child he had begun his journey away from his parents home. I surmise that perhaps feeling like the odd man out, surrounded once again by the publicly accepted; here in this familiar place is where he may have learnt the greatest lesson of all, which is; nothing in life is ever as it seems.

Every part I read about the spurned son seemed a humanistic enough story plot, the emotional afflict of discrimination, a temporary successive solution, love, loss, lessons learnt… except this is a tale of the feather type. Written in 1842 by Alfred de Musset; whence combining a vast array of birds with a stylish flare, a story takes flight. Amid the author’s intertwined unraveling assemblage of vividly artistically painted printed words, emerges a subtle view about a struggle with the centuries old trials and tribulations of the societal injected statistical stigmatic stigma, known as prejudice. “^{^}How glorious it is and also how painful to be an exception”.

And so begins:

^*The Story of A White Blackbird by Alfred de Musset (Histoire d'un merle blanc)

Butterflies Upon the Will of Power

I watched the movie, Shattered starring Pierce Brosnan, Maria Bello, and Gerard Butler. The movie is based around the quote, “Who breaks a butterfly upon a wheel” found in the literary work of 1735, An Epistle to Dr Arbuthnot written by Alexander Pope. The excerpt has been drawn on by many People throughout the years. And different meanings of the expression have been included in music such as that by The Mission whom recorded a track titled Butterfly on a Wheel. Basically the phrase means, “putting massive effort into achieving something minor or unimportant”.

I think the quote “Who breaks a butterfly upon a wheel” has a lot of significance to offer our World today and is a great thought for ..2020... To often criminals break a butterfly upon a wheel leaving innocent victims to suffer the consequences of another’s irreparable actions. To many Soldiers are sent to fight a War that has largely lost its’ main purpose. Leaving our Men and Women to flap their wings in a territory that seemingly lacks the ability to act – let alone react – as civilized human beings who have been given the opportunity to rise above their once dictated brainwashed sadistic antics. Meanwhile; our own Country continues to lack massive and important measures to securely prevent any future potential terrorism violence nationally. Global Warming is given verbal band aides of decorated hope while sufficient funds are disbursed into other wheels of less importance.

Environmentally speaking, the butterfly effect is a phrase that “refers to the idea that a butterfly's wings might create tiny changes in the atmosphere that ultimately cause a tornado to appear (or for that matter, prevent a tornado from appearing). The flapping wing represents a small change in the initial condition of the system, which causes a chain of events leading to large-scale phenomena.” Let us no longer wonder, “had the butterfly not flapped its wings, the trajectory of the system might have been vastly different." Perhaps instead; it is time that we take back the wheel and steer our own wings, promoting positive change throughout the World toward Peace. For even the smallest of efforts can make a difference collectively. Be this by beginning such in our own home, community, political stance, etc. Hence, let they “Who breaks a butterfly upon a wheel”, know not their abuse of power but the willpower of Humankind.

Servitude Under A Manufactured Reality

Guest Article:

Realization of Humanity's Manipulation

Author: The Human Being named Logan

This false system greater Humanity has been enslaved by is crumbling before our very eyes. Systems of control are now ether collapsing all around us or greater Humanity can see them for what they really are, seeing the corruption and deception of nation-states, governments, monetary systems, organized religion and secret societies. Exposing their plans and forcing them to work out in the open for greater humanity to see giving us an opportunity to take back the earth from their corrupted hands. The plotters are doing everything they can to keep greater Humanity from awakening, using mass fear and chaos all over the world while they have their new world order control grid put in place. The plotters are working feverishly to install this new world order system to keep Humanity enslaved, knowing full well the old system is failing, and they fear an even bigger threat to their rein, the Human consciousness evolution .The profound earth changes of this incredible moment in time are causing a considerable sift of earth's electromagnetic energy frequency range causing a great awakening within Human Beings.

This evolution in Human consciousness will end of the world as we know it causing the death of many old ways, and giving birth too many new ways. What worked in the past, will no longer work in this renewal time of earth (Birth of a new world). The plotters know this and for this reason they throw around the phrase "The New World Order" knowing that if they can install a new false system of realty at the same time of Humanity's great awakening, they can highjack this awakening in the consciousness of greater Humanity, sealing there power in place for thousands of more years. This is the reason for all the manufactured terrorism, wealth destruction, and war (divide and conquer) to create so much fear and chaos in order to get greater Humanity to except any solutions that make them feel safe, giving up their freedoms so the plotters can complete the control grid of no escape enslaving Humanity forever.

The plotters are using psychological, educational, technological, informational, and chemical warfare tactics against greater Humanity to induce a trance like state of mind in Human Beings. That effectively paralyzes the mind with confusion and fear shutting off the communication of the spirit with the River of infinite wisdom. Effectively trapping the higher self in the body through the carnal senses and desires, in order to manipulate Human Beings to accept this false reality where a few control and enslave greater Humanity.

At this point in Human history, most every Human Being can see the world is in a state of severe chaos with continuous war, implosion of the world's monetary systems, catastrophic earth disasters, destruction of personal freedoms, and a surveillance grid expansion into every facet of Human life on earth. No matter how hard Human Beings try to deny and make light of the events unfolding around us it's undeniable.

Every Human Being is part of the whole Human consciousness which makes up our earthly plane of existence. Humanity is connected through the Soul and communicates with all that is through the Spirit that flows into and out of every living thing throughout the entire universe. It's like a river of all experience past, present, and future and every life force can connect to this remarkable energy. When you reconnect with this river of infinite wisdom through the spirit you will gain peace, balance and begin to understand things like you have never before. It is the greatest gift of the spirit and will feed your soul.

Most Human Beings have lost the ability to experience through the spirit and have closed minds making it almost impossible for them to challenge and break free from the material system of control that keeps Humanity in the darkness. It state of imbalance has turned them into a prisoner in a false reality, obeying without question the rules of a manufactured system of control. The manufacture reality is designed by a group that will be referred to as the plotters who have remained hidden behind a thin veil of secrecy until now from the greater Humanity. These plotters know the real truth about the incredible power in every Human Being to shape the Human experience on this earthly plane of existences and for that matter the whole universe. This group is aligned with dark energy forces (negative) that use them to push a agenda of control, hate, division, destruction, death, and chaos which these dark energy beings feed on like we do food. They will stop at nothing to remain in control over greater Humanity and fear Humanity's awakening.

The truth is all Human Beings are the co-creators of their reality and the collective earthly experience is a result of the dominating force Light or dark, positive or negative, Humanity can co-create a utopia or hell on this earthly plane through this simple yet profound higher law of creation. It is the most powerful tool that Humanity has, but can only work if we reline the self and unify under light energy (positive). This synchronicity our spirits is the key to creating Utopia on the earthly plane!

The plotters keep greater Humanity in ignorance and division to deliberately deceived greater Humanity out of the knowledge and power in unity. So they the few can set them self's up as the rulers over Humanity. Human Beings have been lead a stray from the truth about what is means to be Human. We've been taught that doing your best at work and play are what living is all about. Although it is healthy to strive to be exceptional in your chosen contribution to this Human experience, Human Beings have lost sight of the most important part. The Being part of Human Being is what separates humanity from all other earthly forms of intelligence. Human Beings are beings of light, love, respect, kindness, creativity, spirituality, experiencing the manifestations of themselves ether false self (enslaved) or true self (freedom).

Human Beings are limited by the minds capacity and the body's ability on the material plane. But the creative genius of the spirit in every Human Being is limitless! All boundaries in mind and body can be bridged by excessing the river of infinite wisdom flowing out of and into all Human Beings past, present and future. All Human Beings imprint their individual earthly experiences into this etheric river that flows in and out of every human being that is and will ever be. It's likening to an encyclopedia of everything in the universe that has been and ever will be. Human Beings and all life force are one, you can feel this connection through your spirit when you reconnect to all through the infinite river of wisdom that holds the sum total of all Beings experiences throughout the universe from the beginning of time that has imprinted onto this universal river of infinite wisdom. Once you realize these truths and reconnect yourself into the highest power you will be made whole again and know that you are infinite possibility. This is the very power used to form galaxies and form particles into matter!

The river of infinite wisdom is where all things become possible! The power of the all within the river has both Light energy (positive) and dark energy (negative) forces that shape our earthly reality. The dominating force in the River is determined directly and indirectly by the thoughts and feelings projected into the river by individual Human Beings forming the collective spirit force. Humanity has been deceived and misguided away from knowing the true power within to co-create this earthly existence into what we wish. Awaken and unite under freedom and cause the light energy (positive) to dominate the river of infinite wisdom. Guiding Humanity to harmony with nature and earth to usher in a time of astounding peace and love, a utopia on the earthly plane!

Humanity can win this war for freedom! We must unite under the freedom without exception; every Human Being's life on earth has the same value! No Human Being is of any greater value than any other regardless of an individual's ability's, material wealth, or education. All innovation, invention, creativity, and design should be used to enhance Humanity's earthly experience. The controllers of the manufactured reality manipulate reality by suppressing the release of scientific breakthroughs that would provide great individual freedoms freeing Humanity to evolve into greater and greater possibility, and enhancing this Human experience for those here now and yet to come. The plotters only release the technology if at all into the system when they have figured a way to control it to their benefit. It's time stop the plotters from preventing Humanity from personally benefitting from Human innovations, for the sake of control, power, and greed of a few.

To have with fullest earthly experience Human Beings should be utilizing the whole of their Being Mind, Body, and Spirit to give and receive the fullest earthly to and from this earthly experience. Sadly most only experience the carnal side of this earthly experience. Human Beings have been deceived into believing that their earthly name, physical appearance, geographic location, material wealth, social position and religious faith are who they are. Human Beings are spirit souls occupying an incredibly complex organism called the body, in order to experience this earthly realm. The body is the vehicle, the mind decodes this vibrational plane, and the spirit ascends above into the universe.

The river of infinite wisdom is expanding continuously; all thoughts and feelings of Humanity are flowing into the river. The thoughts and feelings a Human Being projects, constructive (light energy) or destructive (dark energy) are recorded in the river. The river is in constant circulation flowing out of and into each and every Human Being . The balance of light and dark energy is paramount to the Human spirit as a whole. If the river is dominated by light energy, humanity as a whole feels greater love and unity toward one another. When the river is dominated by dark energy, humanity as a whole feels greater hate and division towards one another.

The results of anyone's efforts can only be negative when the dark energies are used by Human Beings and organizations on the Earthly plane. The selfish pursuit of advantages and power over greater Humanity through the use of these negative (dark energies) is the ultimate corruption. Any achievements gained by the use of the negative (dark energies), comes back with even greater force upon those who use them for selfish means. In other words the use of the negative brings negative back to you! Conversely the use of the positive (light energies) brings positive back to you!


Human Beings through birthright alone should have the Freedom to do whatever they want so long as it doesn't harm other human beings mentally or physically should be our vow. And living in harmony with the planet, taking only what is needed and renewable. The time is now for a paradigm shift to true FREEDOM for the whole of humanity. Unite under Freedom! Swear your allegiance to life and a free Human experience allowing Humanity to reach limitless possibilities! Humans united under freedom to live in harmony with each other and their environment. We are all light Beings of love and infinite possibilities that have been tricked into thinking we are nothing more than a mammal. To be treated as a herd animal that needs to be controlled by self-appointed rulers?

Here's a way to understand how the system that we live under is imposed upon Humanity. At the top of this world control system theirs a group bound by a shared sociopathic ancient blood line (incestual bluebloods). Let's call this group the Plotters. The Plotters are in allegiance with dark energy (negative) receiving their plains of control through their spirit connection to dark energy beings that wish to enslave and use Humanity for negative energy substance. The Human Beings in league with these dark beings give themselves over to these dark beings for power and material wealth on the earthly plane at a huge price of eternal enslavement to the dark energy beings that care nothing about them and will consume their very souls, in order to rule over Humanity's earthly experience.

When the plans are received the Plotters pass the plans down to a group we'll call the Social Programmers. The Social Programmers are also part of ancient sociopathic blood line which rule over greater Humanity. Their part in the system is to develop programs that run in the minds of Human Beings to manipulate the Human mind to except a false reality and enslavement. The Social programmers use advanced psychological warfare on Human Beings minds, and have many programming tools at their disposal, education, religion, all forms of electronic media, print media, and the programed Human Beings repeating and reinforcing the programming to themselves and others.

To keep these programs running the minds of Humanity, and keep Humans Beings from challenging the programs a 3rd group is used that we'll call the Controllers. This group doesn't have to share the pure ancient sociopathic blood line of the Plotters and Social Programmers, but have a deep seeded lust to be in positions of power over other Human Beings, making them the perfect group for the task of physical force control over Human Beings.

Every Human Being is aware of these groups on one level or another of the force controllers, (governments, police, military, international army's, secret services, monetary systems, programed Humans policing one another). Human Beings needs not waste their time and energy learning more about these ruling groups. It will do nothing to aid freedom, because this is not a fight of the earthly plane, but instead a battle on the spiritual plane!

The plotters are controlling humanity by injecting their programs into the minds of Human Beings through various vehicles, at the same time destroying of our minds and body with chemicals in the air, water and food. The Plotters understand the Human body is the Achilles heel of Humanity, do to this demanding vessel humanity is easily enslaved in this earthy experience. The body needing constant care, food, water, shelter, sleep, clothing, exercise, and sexual release are all needed to keep the body organism healthy and alive. The body feels pain and the mind experiences emotional responses to stress from lack or poor quality of the needs of the body. The Plotters use all these needs to control and keep Humans Beings enslaved! We can overcome this enslavement through the uniting of individual Human souls, traveling outward through the Human spirit, uniting in oneness, and harmonizing with the above (higher planes) and the below (earth). Awaken and remember the Human spirit can transcend all constraints of the body and the soul/spirit can never die!

The Plotters know very well about the true power in every Human Being to shape reality. The biggest fear of the plotters is Humanity awaking up to this manufactured system of control, and reducing their power over Humanity to zero! They are very aware that the soul is interminable and the Human spirit is free to roam even if the body was imprisoned, the only way Human Beings can be controlled is by cutting off Human Beings ability to communicate through the spirit with one another and to draw from the infinite river of wisdom where real truth is found. The greater the separation of mind, body, and spirit leading to a greater inability to communicate with the river of infinite wisdom the more easily a Human mind can be programed.

Humanity's thoughts are controlled by programs running in the mind like computer runs software. Since your birth into this Human experience, programs have been installed into your mind. This programing has been and is loading into your mind from institutions of Government, organized religious institutions, education systems, family, friends, culture, peers, public opinion, corporations, Television, radio, and movies to list a few.

Programs are imprinted (loaded) upon Human Beings mind through visual imagery, verbal repetition, emotional triggers and memorization. Layer after layer of programing is built up in the human beings mind, misaligning the connection between the mind body, and soul. In order to program the mind to except a life time of servitude under a manufactured system of control. That's right most human beings are a programed slaves, believing they are free!

The most powerful and useful programs are designed to play on the prejudices of Human Beings to divide and conquer; this is how the few rule the many! Unite under Freedom and ascend in spirit to end Humanity's division. Most Human Beings minds today have been lulled into a hypnotic state, this trance state operates somewhere between a manufactured reality and true reality, in varying degrees in Humans minds.

The Plotters work tirelessly and relentlessly to hide the true nature of Human Beings, allowing those who know the truth to weld the knowledge like a sword striking a blow to Humanity's true origins, and power, leaving most to turn towards organized religions and science for the answers, which are very powerful tools to program and manipulate Humanity.

Hidden knowledge is power, power to lead, mislead, and control. This is how we are lead to war; hate, division, and death when the dark energy (negative) is dominate. When we are meant to have peace; love, harmony, and abundant life utilizing the light energy (positive).

The plotters have hidden knowledge from Humanity by conquest and tyranny, infiltrating a culture through war or deception, motivated to learn their most important knowledge. After the information is attained all who know and can perpetuate that knowledge are murdered, and all written texts are taking out of circulation, making it unavailable to the masses.

The plotters use the monetary system to enslave and exploit other Human Beings talents and physical labor for a small wage, then charge them tax on their labor. Using the monetary system to buy all of earth's real valuable assets like water, land, minerals, and oil etc. etc. that belong to all Human Beings, and not individuals and corporations, The plotters keep Humanity held under them through laws, regulation, and taxes to make greater Humanity enslaved and poverty stricken. Creating a system that keeps Human Beings under the system never having too much power, or sufficing resources to challenge and unseat the rich Plotters from their thrones of power. Poverty is by design, through military, slavery, unfair debt, unfair trade and tax all to support this false system which is destroying planet earth and leading to the extinction of Humanity. The system must be destroyed, and can be easily achieved by expanding the consciousness of greater Humanity to the laws of the river of infinite wisdom. Unite under Freedom and take back our Humanity from the false system of control!

The plotters use the dark energy (negative) as a means of controlling Humanity through fear! Fear causes a debilitating state of mind impairing reason and judgment. This is why Human Beings burned other Humans at the stake for being accused witches, and hung others just because of skin color. It's out of fear Human Beings are set against one another in war, hatred, and how we allow our governments to take our freedoms, in the name of more safety. It's time for Humanity to stop fearing, and ascend above fear into the light of a new understanding. Realizing that if Humanity doesn't give into fear, and refuses to participate in this false reality of control through war; hate, division, and death, Humanity will reclaim peace and prosperity for all. Reject the false reality and Unite under Freedom!

Look around and notice systems of controls are increasingly taking your freedoms away. The plotters know that in order to hang onto their rule over Humanity during this awaken period, Human Beings mustn't be allowed to awaken others or stop participating in the enslavement to the system at all cost!

Awaken! Notice when Human Beings begin to Unite under a cause that threatens the manufactured power structure, the plotters move in and co-op the moment, perverting the cause in the minds of Humanity. The plotters use their control of all forms of media to program Humans minds to turn away from supporting any moment that threatens their power.

The biggest polluters of the earth are the very same sociopathic ancient blood lines known as the plotters, programmers and controllers. Through their corporations they strip the earth of its resources and pollute the environment and the name of profits. Then put the blame on human overpopulation for the polluting of the earth. The plotters come up with schemes undreamed of to take more wealth from humanity and gain more control, all in the name of the environment they are destroying! The corporations the plotters have a vested interest in are of course exempt from the schemes like carbon credit trading, health care system, and environmental rules all designed to drive out their completion. The plotters use their control of their fiat money creation systems (reserve banks and stock markets) to buy control of entire nations. Installing a bloodline member, or paying off corruptible leaders to insure support for the agenda of control over Humanity.

"EARTH DAY uses one of humanity’s great discoveries, the discovery of anniversaries by which, throughout time, human beings have kept their sorrows and their joys, their victories, their revelations and their obligations alive, for re-celebration and re-dedication another year, another decade, another century, another eon. EARTH DAY reminds the people of the world of the need for continuing care which is vital to Earth’s safety. …EARTH DAY draws on astronomical phenomena in a new way; using the vernal equinox, the time when the Sun crosses the equator making night and day of equal length in all parts of theEarth. To this point in the annual calendar, EARTH DAY attaches no local or divisive set of symbols, no statement of the truth or superiority of one way of life over another. But the selection of the March equinox makes planetary observance of a shared event possible. The vernal equinox calls on all mankind to recognize and respect Earth’s beautiful systems of balance, between the presence of animals on land, the fish in the sea, birds in the air, mankind, water, air, and land. Most importantly there must always be awareness of the actions by people that can disturb this precious balance." - Margaret Mead

The Epic Adventure of Earth Comes to the Big Screen.

"WASHINGTON— President Bill Clinton marked Earth Day in 1994 by promising to "green" the White House from its landscaping to its copy machines. But President Barack Obama and his supporters pledged themselves to a far more ambitious goal on Tuesday—combating climate change all over the world." By Jim Tankersley Washington Bureau April 22, 2009

"Earth Day, celebrated in the US on April 22, is a day designed to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth's environment. It was founded by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson as an environmental teach-in in 1970 and is celebrated in many countries every year." - Wikipedia

"Call the Capitol switchboard at 202 224-3121 and tell your member of Congress to support the Markey climate bill

Earth Day Network believes the Markey-Waxman climate bill is a reasonable measure that moves the US toward a green energy future and new economy based on renewable energy that will go along way toward pollution reduction requirements for climate change.

The bill has strong clean energy standards that will transform the economy and encompass the latest in climate science.
The bill could be strengthened in the areas of 100 percent emissions auctions and in offsets and could use stronger enforcement mechanisms. We look forward to working with Chairmen Markey and Waxman on such strengthening measures.

We applaud Chairmen Waxman and Markey for their longstanding leadership on global warming and for their hard work on the legislation. Please call your member of Congress through the Capitol switchboard at 202 224-3121 and ask them to support the Markey Waxman climate bill and to strengthen it." - Earth Day Network

How You Can Help Operation Morning Star

Quoted: Radio Show on Feb. 5, 1510 AM, the program Total Health Hosted by "Coach K" Rob Kingsbury in Kansas City at 2:15 p.m to talk about Operation Morning Star "Economic Development Program" on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation this summer.

You can listen live, call in with questions, and learn how to help put this program in place by donating monies for purchase of animals and plants for this project. Purchased will be food producing plants, rabbits for meat, poultry for meat and eggs, trout aquaculture, and more. This project will start in one village with the goal of expanding according to resource contributions and participation of the community.

We will have a guest from Pine Ridge to discuss the importance of producing food from a First Nations perspective including how to preserve these foods as well as discussing how healthy food production can combat the epidemic of diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.

Think Before You Speak

*email forward found on internet some where
'Some people!' snorted a man standing behind me in the long line at the grocery store.

'You would think the manager would pay attention and open another line, 'said a woman.

I looked to the front of the line to see what the hold up was and saw a well dressed, young woman, trying to get the machine to accept her credit card. No matter how many times she swiped it, the machine kept rejecting it.

'It's one of them welfare card things. Damn people need to get a job like everyone else,' said the man standing behind me. The young woman turned around to see who had made the comment. 'It was me,' he said, pointing to himself.

The young lady's face began to change expression. Almost in tears, she dropped the welfare card onto the counter and quickly walked out of the store. Everyone in the checkout line watched as she began running to her car. Never looking back, she got in and drove away.

After developing cancer in 1977 and having had to use food stamps; I had learned never to judge anyone, without knowing the circumstances of their life. This turned out to be the case today.

Several minutes later a young man walked into the store. He went up to the cashier and asked if she had seen the woman. After describing her, the cashier told him that she had run out of the store, got into her car, and drove away.

'Why would she do that?' asked the man.

Everyone in the line looked around at the fellow who had made the statement. 'I made a stupid comment about the welfare card she was using. Something I shouldn't have said. I'm sorry,' said the man.

'Well, that's bad, real bad, in fact. Her brother was killed in Afghanistan two years ago. He had three young children and she has taken on that responsibility. She's twenty years old, single, and now has three children to support,' he said in a very firm voice.

'I'm really truly sorry. I didn't know,' he replied, shaking both his hands about.

The young man asked, 'Are these paid for?' pointing to the shopping cart full of groceries. 'It wouldn't take her card,' the clerk told him.

'Do you know where she lives?' asked the man who had made the comment.

'Yes, she goes to our church.'

'Excuse me,' he said as he made his way to the front of the line. He pulled out his wallet, took out his credit card and told the cashier, 'Please use my card. PLEASE!'

The clerk took his credit card and began to ring up the young woman's groceries.

Hold on,' said the gentleman. He walked back to his shopping cart and began loading his own groceries onto the belt to be included. 'Come on people. We got three kids to help raise!' he told everyone in line.

Everyone began to place their groceries onto the fast moving belt. A few customers began bagging the food and placing it into separate carts.

'Go back and get two big turkeys,' yelled a heavyset woman, as she looked at the man. 'NO,' yelled the man. Everyone stopped dead in their tracks. The entire store became quiet for several seconds. 'Four turkeys,' yelled the man. Everyone began laughing and went back to work.

When all was said and done, the man paid a total of $1,646.57 for the groceries. He then walked over to the side, pulled out his check book, and began writing a check using the bags of dog food piled near the front of the store for a writing surface. He turned around and handed the check to the young man.

'She will need a freezer and a few other things as well,' he told the man.

The young man looked at the check and said, 'This is really very generous of you.'

'No,' said the man. 'Her brother was the generous one.'

Everyone in the store had been observing the odd commotion and began to clap. And I drove home that day feeling very American.

We live in the Land of the free, because of the Brave!!! Remember our Troops of Yesterday and Today!!!

A great example of why we should be kind and patient.

Kindness is the language the blind can see and the deaf can hear.

May God's many blessings continue to be with you - ALWAYS!!!

MAY THIS KEEP GOING via email....

IT WILL OPEN A LOT OF EYES,

HOPEFULLY HEARTS,

AND KEEP SOME MOUTHS SHUT.

And lots of resources.

I would like to especially encourage and welcome all to visit the Center For Women blog site Lowcountry Women and feel free to participate in the women's topics there, regardless of where you live.

Please see Binding Ink sidebar for Lowcountry Women blog updates!

I first became aware of CFW in 1998, when I was reading the below article in the local newspaper, The Post and Courier:

{Writing contest to show women’s collective portrait

By Dottie Ashley
Of The Post and Courier staff

“The Many Faces of Women” is a writing contest designed to remind the public that the Center For Women is a place of diversity and a resource for all women, regardless of race, age, profession or socioeconomic status.

“People would be surprised by the many faces of women that are served by the center,” says Harriet Smartt, board president of the private, nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering women in their private and public lives.
“This contest is a way for women to paint, a collective portrait of a woman – using a pen,” adds Smartt.

Writers who enter the contest are asked to base a short story, essay or poem on a struggle, a choice or an awakening that they imagine may have occurred in the fictional life of one of five women.}

A flyer from The Center For Women stated, “Winners will be announced at the Second Annual Community Recognition Dinner at Charleston Place on January 22, 1998. Keynote speaker: Acclaimed novelist Anne Rivers Siddons. Winners will also receive a $100. cash prize. The five watercolor portraits that provide the inspiration for the contest are named Lucretia, Emma, Endia, Bridgit and Barbara.” The five faces are represented in a watercolor collage by Charleston portrait artist Rhett Thurman and were on display at The Coffee Gallery (Sarah and Patrick Clise) during the local contest:

.
“The Many Faces of Women Writing Contest” was conceived and coordinated by Mary Elizabeth Feldmann. Another Post and Courier article, “Center reads between lines with women” by Elsa McDowell, incorporated a finely written interview with Feldmann.

The three judges Barbara Hagerty, Nikki Hardin, Constance Pulz selected five winners – one to go with each Thurman portrait. I was one of those winners! We each received the cash prize and two other special gifts from the Center For Women! One, we were invited as Guess to the Second Annual Dinner. Here, CFW acknowledged us for our Writings. In-between we banqueted on an exquisite meal and enjoyed the monumental Community recognitions.

Secondly; Nikki Hardin, Publisher/Editor of Skirt Magazine published our Writings! Each month, one of the five Authors was included in the Skirt addition:

April 1998: Mary Jeffreies, “Emma, The Chain“

May 1998: Jeannette M. Deveaux, “Endia, I am a Voice and I shall be Heard“

June 1998: Julie Pitts, “Bridgit“

July 1998: Harriet Popham Rigney, “Barbara”

August 1998: Jean Michelle Culp, “Lucretia”

My poem begins with Lucretia introducing herself as a black woman:

Lucretia




I am a black woman, or as some would say, “African-American”,

I live in a country where the melting pot has boiled over,

Seeping discrimination and crime.

Dissemination is just ignorance,

Blindness to the fact we all bleed the same color blood.

Crime however; is a disgrace to our race,

Blacks killing blacks, children killing children,

They are no better than those who killed our ancestors.

Meanwhile; our people try and uphold rightful cries,

But, Black Power can not be heard past the blast of gun power,

Gangs shooting gangs for turf that is not even theirs to take,

Innocent bystanders slain in street wars, for what?

Sadden, I take the cloth from my hair and wipe my tears, shouting:

Have our ancestors died in vain?

Do we not realize what our ancestors wounds bled for?

What our ancestors died for, “Freedom”!

Yet, all around are gravely guns that shoot down hope,

Pimps who lay slaves for the desperate and naïve,

Drugs enslaving the body to a lifetime of dependency,

And steel barred cells shackle those who have made themselves slaves.

Afraid, we bolt our doors, board up windows.

Locked inside fear-ridden anxiety,

We become the prisoners in a war that is not ours.

Meanwhile; another child goes hungry, another dies from the cold,

Another job is given to someone else, why?

Because of fear, fear of the criminals in us all.

But criminals are from every race, every color,

Criminals are from every gender, every age.

And it is crime that robs everyone of their heritage,

Crime that strips everyone of their rights,

As we all live in this land not so plentiful, not so free.

Yes, I am a woman, struggling to live in America,

The land of opportunity under siege.

By - Jeane Michelle Culp

Thanks to all who helped in the Center For Women 1998 Writing contest. The event is a memory my heart will forever cherish. An extra Special thanks to my role model Patricia Goodwin.

*I am hoping this post will reach the other four Authors and have them e-mail me, so I may post their Winning Writings also.

Breast Cancer Doesn't Stop on 10/31

October may be Breast Cancer Awareness Month, however; we must not stop on October 31 the Awareness about Breast Cancer and taking steps to help prevent and finding a cure for Breast Cancer.

As the Susan G. Komen RACE FOR THE CURE commences in my area of the LowCountry today at Daniel Island, SC; may we all become acquainted with the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Organization. "Susan G. Komen for the Cure is one of hundreds of local chapters around the country working diligently to further the Foundation's mission to eradicate breast cancer as a life-threatening disease by advancing research, education, screening and treatment."

"Susan G. Komen for the Cure was founded on a promise between two sisters." This is an emotionally touching true story about the two Sisters, Suzy and Nan. Nancy details the onset of the unfortunate diagnosis, “As if it were yesterday, I can remember the phone call I received from Suzy one Tuesday afternoon. Her doctor had found a lump in her breast that was not a cyst. He recommended a biopsy.” Nancy pours her heart out in words about the hopeful surgical procedure and chemically induced treatments her Sister had to endure. She talks about the year 1978 when we learnt about First Lady, Mrs. Ford being diagnosed with breast cancer and undergoing a mastectomy. Her Sister responding, "Nan," she said, "as soon as I get better, let's do something about this. You can find a way to speed up the research. I know you can. And I want to fix up this waiting room and make it pretty for the women who have to be here. This isn't right."

To date, Nancy G. Brinker writes; "As I look back over the last 25 years since I founded Susan G. Komen for the Cure, I am amazed at our accomplishments. What began as a promise to my dying sister, Susan G. Komen, has evolved into the world's largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists fighting to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures…" Message From Our Founder

I encourage all to please visit Susan G. Komen for the Cure to learn more about this Organization and Breast Cancer.

Don’t STOP October 31, continue the Awareness

Humanity Links What's In It 4 You

Revised!

I have long wanted to participate in a new meme to “bring 'goodness, graciousness, and healing' to our world” started by Jennifer at GOODNESS GRACIOUSNESS. (Please visit Hold the Vision! for heartfelt details.) Now the question remained, how could I ‘help heal the world and hold that vision?’ By doing just that, holding my vision - I realized my aspiration. And so it is at this time I present my Vision to “bring ‘goodness, graciousness, and healing’ to our world”:

Humanity! If we all could join together as "one" on all noteworthy humanitarian causes, regardless of topic; the combination of such positive aspects and efforts would be electrifying. And perhaps the ultimate answer to what People continuously seek. "United for Humanity" - we can make a difference. So let your "Humanitarian Cause" be known. Spread the word! If you have a "Humanitarian Cause" or know someone who does, that would like to be listed, supported, etc. please visit Humanitarian Causes - United for Humanity (HCU4H) and e-mail your link and site description.


There is no cost, no gimmicks, no work for you to do! HCU4H will list your Humanitarian Web Site or Blog Site with all links going to your site. HCU4H will promote your Humanitarian Cause! HCU4H will construct an rss feed for your site to be included on the HCU4H Blog, with a ‘Share What You Know at BlinkBits’. (BlinkBits is a system designed to “share your bits of wisdom on any topic instantly”. )

Why is Humanitarian Causes - United for Humanity doing this?

So there can be a "one stop place" for People to list AND find Humanitarian Causes.

What are Humanitarian Causes?

Not only the large org sites, however; the blogs and web sites People have worked hard on to support these Causes in Humanity. Rather that be Health such as quit smoking, the Environment such as Climate and how it affects humankind, Ethnic groups, Art, etc…

HCU4H is by the People for the People in “one place”, here at Humanity’s Street Corner, for People to list AND find all Humanitarian Causes.

United For Humanity!

So come on over People of the WWW to Humanity’s Street Corner at HCU4H! Visit - get listed! And be sure to visit the HCU4H Blog!


Thank You again Jennifer for such a wonderful idea for a meme to help “bring 'goodness, graciousness, and healing' to our world”! As many People already have, may more People continue to Hold the Vision!

God’s Goose Bumps

Am I a Humanitarian? Good question. My blog represents a Humanitarian Cause I firmly believe in about the Human Race. And that is, regardless of an Individuals' race or religion; the fact is we all bleed the same color blood, put our clothes on the same way, and use the toilet for the same purposes. How am I spreading the word about this? By standing firm on Edward George Bulwer Lytton’s quote, the pen is mightier than the sword. Cause that is the beauty about the internet, the web is the most non-prejudice place in the World! The majority of sites on the WWW being visited, enjoyed, and read – People seldom know the race and/or religion of the Author nor care. And if this information is known, most People will nonetheless feel comfortable visiting because there is no peer pressure around to censor or dictate their comings and goings. Comments are the same, unknown race and/or religion; only commentary from Individuals! That is why my blog slogan is, Binding Ink-Reinventing the Pen-for the sake of Humankind.

In fact, Binding Ink is a year old this month! In celebration, I recently opened a new web site called Humanitarian Causes-United for Humanity (HCU4H) . A "one stop place" for People to list AND find Humanitarian Causes. However; don’t let the big words like Humanitarian and Humanity scare or fool anyone. HCU4H is not only the large org sites, however; the blogs and web sites People have worked hard on to support these important Causes in Humanity. Rather that be Health such as quit smoking, the Environment such as Climate and how it affects humankind, Ethnic groups, Art, etc. HCU4H is by the People for the People in “one place”, at ‘Humanity’s Street Corner’, for People to list AND find all Humanitarian Causes.

However; am I a Humanitarian? Though I support Humanitarian Causes and have a Humanitarian Cause, I would have to say no, not yet. At least not until I have actually gotten out in the Communities to get my voice, feet, and hands worn-out and blistered. Nonetheless, I am a Non-Rich Philanthropist (A Person Who Cares About People)! If I were a rich Philanthropist, I still would become relatively poor rather quickly by gladly contributing to various Humanitarian Causes. Anyhow, in being a Philanthropist, currently it is my heart that is experiencing all the blisters. I don’t know how other Philanthropists, Humanitarians, Police Officers (Keepers of Public Peace), Fire Fighters, etc. Nurses, Psychiatrists, etc. Volunteers for Crisis, such as Red Cross, etc. Rape Crisis Volunteers, etc. cope. I understand that some Police Officers are mandated to see a Psychiatrist/Psychologist under certain circumstances that may affect their job performance. Perhaps Psychiatrists see Psychologists to vent that their Patients wore on their patients.

Nevertheless; saddened, my heart heavy, and still trying to learn to cope with Peoples sorrows without falling apart myself in tears; the song by Skillet Eating Me Away echoes in my head – “Is this my legacy, Feel it eating me away”… Then in a recent post I asked, When Is It Ok To Scream? Well guess what! Sometimes when you scream loud enough, the Universe does hear you!

Comments:

Kristy said...
“Unless it's a really, really odd coincidence, I think my boyfriend is a co-worker of the husband of YOUR co-worker who recently lost her father-in-law. Because he came home and told me that exact same story the other night. What a small, small world.

And yes, sometimes it's okay to scream!”

At first I agreed this was merely a coincidence. However I replied; ...my site is all about Serendipity and asked where she is from. When she stated where she was from, I got God’s Goose Bumps! Yes, we were neighbors. And yes I ping my blog in hopes to draw even local visitors to my site, yet the local interest in my subject matter has never been remotely appealing. That’s when I realized, as I replied to her:

Yes this is Serendipity. Perhaps you were meant to read my post and I your comments, so some where in the blogosphere we can try to make some sense of this and the other tragedies; or at least find comfort in commonality. For this is Serendipity, a Universal symphony whose tune can be heard by the most tone deaf person. Thank you again Kristy. Hugs from the Universe to you! May we always remember, all the world is not S.I.C.K., For in-between all the torrid rains, there are rainbows. In-between the avalanches, there are snowmen.

So Readers and Humanitarians, "When you are weary, ... When tears are in your eyes", I say – go ahead and Scream! Cause not only is the Universe listening, it will answer!

Serendipity amid Civilization, a Universal symphony whose tune can be heard by the most tone deaf Person!

When Is It Okay To Scream?

To list just a few of my current events, a Co-Worker has cancer (see The Red Carpet); a Co-Workers’ Best Friend since days at War together, has just been diagnosed with cancer and has 6 weeks to live. One Co-Worker had a stroke not to long ago and will be unable to return to work or his style of life and motorcycles. One Co-Worker recently unexpectedly under went immediate necessary brain surgery and died on the operating table. One Co-Worker just lost her Father-In-Law last night; as he drove home, he crashed into a tree; supposedly he had a heart attack. Another Co-Worker was telling me that she has had 4 deaths in her Family in the last 2 months. Understandably, she is unsure if she can handle the heart wrenching news if any more should occur, as other members in her Family are currently not well. In less than a few months, a champion Co-Worker has triumphed over her Daughters’ miscarriage, 3 cars in one month expensively breaking down, the loss of her Mother to inevitable cancer, and shortly afterwards, their Family dog dying - pending an astronomical vet bill. She accredits the Lord for her remarkable strength during this seeming trial. I widen my eyes and note, our City has just lost 9 Fire Fighters in one blaze. “The nation’s deadliest single disaster for firefighters since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.” This week, another rare event in our City took the lives of 5 People in a Highway accident involving an 18 wheeler. Compared to what everyone else is going through; I feel terrible to be complaining to myself, about my own mediocre confrontations amid dharma or karma. And yet with my heart being pulled in so many directions and many of my personal situations being intellectually challenged, I can’t help but want to scream.
