Armed simply with chainsaws, a corps of military veterans has arrived on the Jersey Shore to help Sandy-stricken residents trapped by a maze of downed trees and debris.
The team members, whose previous tours have included Iraq and Afghanistan, arrived in New Jersey this week from Arizona, where they were serving in the Veterans Fire Corps, a program that helps recent-era vets prepare for careers in conservation. Their recent training in chain saw operation and wildland firefighting made them perfectly suited for the mission at hand.
That was the question I asked yesterday after sharing a video made by a man in Australia who discovered that government agencies were a sham. They are privately owned corporations. It's the same all over the world. When enough of us grasp this, we will be able to change it.

300 veterans, some trained in crisis management, have been donating their time and leading the cleanup effort in the hard hit Rockaway neighborhood in Queens, NY, making life easier for storm weary residents.
Their organization, Team Rubicon, helps others but also helps ex-soldiers from around the country who need a new mission in life, something to become passionate about. They've joined together to tackle the seemingly endless task of removing debris and rehabilitating the homes for an entire neighborhood.

Despite being a relatively small island in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea, Sardinia’s natives are proving very enterprising when it comes to environmental protection. Immediately translating into a higher quality lifestyle, a more sustainable economy means cleaner air, lush vegetation and healthier and safer produce. Last but not least, since food plays a pivotal role in Italian society, eco-friendly initiatives are thriving all around the country.
Here are six of the main ones in the region of Sardinia.
We are super-sensitive to what we hear today. Loudness will not be well-tolerated. People are inclined to have strong opinions or messages, even to the point of obsessive preaching. This is because the energy for communication is strong and people are hooking on to this in order to be heard and in order to put on a show. In fact, appearances are more likely to be deceiving today, so don't be fooled. It's the finer details that we want to pay attention to. Simple gestures are called for today. Show your appreciation for others and what they do. It will go a long way today. Today is also the last full day of the New Moon phase - the phase when we set/seed our intention for the month (in this case our vision quest for wisdom) and the activation of participation in Sophia's dreaming.
I feel it is extremely important at this time in our journey to really grasp and make a part of our everyday life, the act of consciously creating. I keep talking about how our thoughts create our reality, but they are just words unless we grasp the true meaning of what that really means. I read a quote by Dee Wallace the actress, and it really explains it clearly: “To consciously create means to choose each thought that supports the choice of life we want.” We can’t get to where we want to be without getting our hands dirty and rolling up our sleeves. It takes work initially to choose our thoughts carefully and pay attention to what we are thinking, but after a short period of time the process becomes automatic. If we want a loving world of joy and peace we must choose the thoughts we think that will support that desire. We must think only loving thoughts, we must be happy and we must be peaceful in our actions. Our thoughts and actions must mirror one another in order for us to consciously create what we dream about.
We are being inundated with solar flares right now so try to maintain balance with all of the incoming energies. Here is the report on what is occurring.
We did not overestimate you in any way dear ones, as you have once again achieved a level of awareness that many have said was unattainable for humans. Let us explain. We have already told the channel in a private message that this week marked an important passage for humanity. You have crossed a line dear ones, but we will not refer to it as that fabled finishing line you have been longing to cross. Rather, we prefer to refer to it as the starting line, as you have finally managed to complete the process needed in order to start living as the new humans. And what do we mean by that? We simply refer to the fact that you have now, by much hard labour indeed, managed to accrue the requisite level of vibration that has ensured that you are no longer a member of that old, third density group of humanity. You have arrived, in other words, only to find yourselves unable to sit down and enjoy this fabled destination in peace.
