The Telegraph - By , Rome, 07 Sep 2012

Silvio Berlusconi's summer retreat on Sardinia's exclusive Costa Smeralda, which gained notoriety for parties with topless models, features an underground cave, complete with an emergency escape exit to the sea.

The existence of the cave at the former Italian prime minister's Villa Certosa estate had been rumoured for years but the first photographs of it emerged on Friday.

They were obtained by Antonello Zappadu, an Italian photographer who made his name in 2009 by taking long-lens pictures of scantily-clad showgirls at Mr Berlusconi's residence.

We can get pretty comfy and settled in our lives and just seem to go along with the program. It seems easier that way and for that moment, it is, but not in the long run. It is up to each of us to make ripples on the water of life, to dig our heels in and say no, to demand a better way of doing things, to point out what is wrong and find ways to improve them. In other words, it is up to us to take action and shake things up, make others feel uncomfortable at times and push them into new ways of thinking.

 

If we don’t do this, if we remain just as we are, change will be a very long time in coming! Remember the old saying “The squeaky wheel gets the grease”? We must be squeaky wheels, we must make noise to gather attention. We know things are not right in the world, in fact they are down right wrong, but not speaking up about it, by not trying to change things, by not offering new and better solutions, we stay mired in the muck of our own demise! Step out, step up and be the pebble being tossed into the still waters. Ripple out and make a difference, awaken others and be of service to the change.

http://sheilaaliens.net/?p=1124 The second half of the video onward is all footage of the river. "Yesterday's shallow 5.6 magnitude quakes struck an impoverished, mountainous part of the country with poor infrastructure and telecommunications and the death toll could rise as news trickles out of cut-off areas, it said.

Most of the victims were from Yiliang county in Yunnan province, near the epicentre.

Footage from state broadcaster CCTV showed boulder-covered roadways, abandoned cars and black smoke billowing from buildings." Read more: http://www.rte.ie/news/2012/0908/80-killed-in-china-earthquake.html


"The red began appearing in the Yangtze, the longest and largest river in China and the third longest river in the world, yesterday near the city of Chongquing, where the Yangtze connects to the Jialin River.

The Yangtze, called "golden" because of the heavy rainfall it receives year-round, runs through Chongqing, Southwest China's largest industrial and commercial center, also known as the "mountain city" because of the hills and peaks upon which its many buildings and factories stand."

Beautiful Beings of Light,

It is still up for grabs how you will participate here and now.  You are seeking that which has the greatest affinity, while being aware that some things which have affinity do so because of habit, others things have affinity because of resonance with your essence. These are two different things and you are wisely attempting to sort this out and come into newness that is about the trajectory in this lifetime, the evolution in this lifetime of your soul essence through this particular aspect embodied here and now.

As you live your life and allow yourself to notice the newness all around you, you are inspired in many ways.  It is really going to become abundant, the inspiration flowing into your life, and so it is up to you to choose what to bring forth now, what inspiration you will support with the form of your being and action, so that energy from the inner planes can manifest in the outer planes, in your experience and in your world.

As life goes forth this season, and the weather of change is underway in obvious and powerful ways, it will be very easy to lose your balance.  This is not the same as losing your way.  {Smile.}  Remember this when you feel uncomfortable with the energy flowing through you.  You are continually receiving more and higher frequencies within your energy field and you will continually need to learn how to flow, use and ground these energies.  There will be, as such an ongoing, seemingly relentless sense of newness. It will help you participate to embrace this.

It is amazing how many different places are talking about heart centered consiousness. I was watching a video today about how schools, media, establishment have not instituted the new peer review science that has proven Darwin was wrong based on DNA recovered from the times that we were to have evolved. Science found there was NO way that could have happened. In addition, science has found numreous civilizations dating at least 11,000 years ago but still teaches we are only 5,000 years old. That realization was stunning as we are depriving our children of basic information. In addition, these institions are not teaching quantum physics about how our heart intelligence is much stronger in an electro-magnetic way. It shows how 9-11 affected sensors on the moon, etc.

 

Anyway, from that I found the Iniative for Heart Math and the Global Coherence Initiative that is promoting heart healing and peace. Interestingly for me I had visited one of their sites but just recalled called the global care room which I had visited before. My point is it seems like all communities are at the same HEART place but I have to wonder if or how we are all working together. The Galactic Press incorporates most of the various Metaphysical sites(THANKS as it is tiring to have so many places to go to) but wouldn't it be great to coordinate with other big players like the Institute for Heart Math and The Venus Project?

"Where do they find these buffoons..."

Spence is the GOP candidate for Governor in Missouri.

Instead of repaying Reliance Bank's $40 million TARP bailout, Spence doled out $40 million in insider loans to board members, including $1.1 million for a vacation home for himself and a cool $600,000 for his plastics company.

Nice work if you can get it.

The Department of Agriculture said in a report that about 5.5 percent of Americans, or nearly 17 million, suffered "very low food security" last year, meaning they had to skip meals or not eat for a day because of a lack of money to buy food. That is a rise of 800,000 over the prior year, it said.

The food-security report was released one day after the government said that a record 46.7 million Americans were enrolled for food stamps in June, up by 173,000 in May.

Barclays formally notified the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority on August 29 that the executive, Ritankar "Ronti" Pal, was "discharged" on July 30 because the bank had a "loss of confidence" in him as a manager for failing "to properly supervise individuals on his team", one of the filings stated. His departure had been previously reported but no explanation had been given.

The Marijuana Myth: What If Everything You Think You Know About This Plant Is Wrong?

Huff Post - Laurel Dewey, 9/4/12

What if everything you were ever told and believed about a subject wasn't true? What if the well-meaning, trusted and respected people who told you those lies were just parroting the propaganda that they heard?

That's the exact dilemma I found myself in about three years ago. For most of my life, I bought into the grim and terrifying stories I heard about -- dare I say it? -- marijuana.

Declassified CIA document reveals US analytic errors before Iraq war

Rain's picture

Press TV - 9/6/12

The American spy agency, CIA has declassified a document, admitting to “analytic liabilities” that resulted in false US intelligence estimates on Iraq’s non-existent weapons of mass destruction, leading to a major war.

The heavily-redacted 2006 review, declassified on Wednesday, shows that the case for war against Iraq rested on a number of falsehoods, all of which came from the US intelligence community’s failures in assessing Iraqi weapons programs in the lead-up to the Bush administration’s 2003 invasion.


The document highlights that such “analytic liabilities” kept US analysts from seeing the issue “through an Iraqi prism” and generated findings that helped justify the Iraq war.
