As Walmart opens its doors earlier than ever for Thanksgiving sales, it faces its first strike in 50 years by disgruntled workers

On Friday, Americans by the millions will crowd into big-box retail shops to take advantage of bargains on wide-screen TVs and other electronics – necessities, as well as luxuries – all marked down in order to draw them in and have them line up outside in advance of the doors opening. And now, as we've learned, several chains plan to open at 8pm on Thanksgiving day itself.

TIGARD -- On a cold Sunday afternoon, a woman squeezed to the front of the crowd at Black Rock Coffee Bar, handed the barista $20 and waved good-bye.

 

"Really?" said Kelly Belair, who has worked at the kiosk since it opened a year ago. "Oh my gosh, thank you. I'm going to cry."

Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives.

"I had a vision of a way we could have no enemies ever again, if you're interested in this. Anybody interested in hearing this?
It's kind of an interesting theory, and all we have to do is make one decisive act and we can rid the world of all our enemies at once.
Here's what we do. You know all that money we spend on nuclear weapons and defense every year? Trillions of dollars.
Instead, if we spent that money feeding and clothing the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over,
not one human being excluded ... not one ... we could as one race explore inner and outer space together in peace, forever."

-Bill Hicks

 

The Action of Love: Love your Self out of conflict

Dear Ones, Dear Beings of Earth, Dear Children of Light, Dear Precious Holy Ones,

 

 

You must know that in your heart is the key to peace, to holy resolution to all that is outside of you.  Do not get caught up in news, media, gossip or fear in general.  All those activities do not serve, and they are only based in lower energies of opinion, not fact.  They are based in fear, not love and are not the truth of thy Creator.

 

What is playing out in the Holy lands is the completion of Holy in differences found before your awareness of even what is written in your Bible and sacred texts.  These lands are tainted with old horrors of days gone by and now as Christed consciousness, the very essence of each of your cells, of all life, now flows at ever increasing intensities on to and into your planet your atmosphere, those old energies, thoughts, feelings and patterns are coming up for healing, for review, for cleansing.   There is a healing to occur of these old conflicts and energies of opposition. It represents the very essence of 3rd dimension, of polarity, of perceived separation.

I would like to go a little upstream on the subject of ESP – psychic powers or extra sensory perception by stating:

It is not “extra”, it’s our basic ability. We come with it and have the potential to use it. Or not. So it’s basic: “BSP” –Basic Sensory Perception. It´s the five senses that are “extras”. These have to be learned and conditioned into us by society. That conditioning embeds the brainwashing of us into not believing in our own powers.

Police used vigorous tactics including the "kettling" of crowds for hours in freezing conditions in the four successive marches during November and December 2010.

Police used vigorous tactics including the "kettling" of crowds for hours in freezing conditions in the four successive marches during November and December 2010.

British students are once again expected to join mass protests not seen in two years after their voices against tuition fees hikes were silenced with harsh police tactics including “kettling” in freezing conditions in 2010.
 

The National Union of Students (NUS) has organized a new wave of protests entitled “Demo 2012” to highlight not only tuition fees and the loss of the educational maintenance allowance (EMA), but the dire employment prospects faced by many young people once they graduate.

Protesting Spanish Cops: "Forgive Us For Not Arresting Those Truly Responsible For This Crisis: Bankers & Politicians"

Yesterday, in what is an appetizer to the great 2013 convergence trade (that, between the now thoroughly dead Greek and the Spanish economy, which is rapidly getting there, of course), several thousand Spanish policemen took the streets of Madrid protesting the latest round of austerity, which included frozen pensions and the elimination of the Christmas bonus (they will have many more opportunities to protest not only the loss of any future upside, but the eventual cut of existing wages and entitlements). As RT reports, protesters blew whistles, shouted slogans, and carried anti-austerity banners as they marched through the city centre to the interior ministry. But perhaps the most telling message read on one of the slogans, was the following: "Citizens! Forgive us for not arresting those truly responsible for this crisis: bankers and politicians."
