(Reuters) - Newmont Mining Corp's $5 billion Conga gold project is "on the back burner," Peru's government said on Thursday - a sign that it will stop trying to overcome local opposition that has resulted in violence and two cabinet shuffles.

Prime Minister Juan Jimenez made the comments after a poll by survey firm Ipsos showed 78 percent of people in the northern Peruvian region of Cajamarca opposed the planned mine.

8-30-12 Bill Ballard ~ Dimensional Shift at the End of 2012 ~ I Dont Know But Here Are My Feelings

Published on Aug 30, 2012 by pearls2u

These past days has many different of the 2012 leaders, or way showers discussing what is to happen in December 2012. Funny as everyone is saying something different. For me, I have a heart felt opinion but truly I have no idea. With so many channeled messages as Tyberonn's Metatron or Carroll's Kryon, saying different things, and causing some confusion about the end of this year. I decided to throw in my 2 cents, and again, I have NO IDEA what's coming. Just Be LOVE! That is the best thing, and sooner or later we will hit the critical mass of those activating their heart chakras, stepping into their enlightenment process. LOVE!

From bloomthedesert.com:

You may remember - last November - when I informed you of our Bloom the Desert project and the trial desert farm in Dubai - kindly sponsored by Ahmed - and I promised an update on plant growth and soil tests....

For those unfamilar with this kind of agriculture and what all of this means: The test results below show we reduced the hight sodium of over 12 pH to approx 8.2- with our SALT REDUCING MICROBES- this has NOT been DONE BEFORE without costly fertilizers- and is basically a first of its kind combination.

It means that arid land anywhere- anytime- can be transformed into fertilie land- using these LOW cost combined techniques we have developed- and that MINIMAL use of (organic) fertilizer would be required- this keeps the cost of farm production down.

Terri Newlon – Djwhal Khul – Anger & Fear No More – 30 August 2012

Djwhal Khul here. Tashi delek.

Alright. Things are escalating for in what I might even call a compacting crunch of some sort, earth plates compacting, emotions getting kind of compounded without even realizing it. So even those with a pretty happy temperament are finding themselves agitated, maybe even downright angry.

Beneath all anger is fear. So fear would be the core emotion or the core thing to clear. Unfortunately most people aren’t per se in tune with what might be the fear and there are several things that you can do to clear fear and several things that you can do to manage anger as well.

Using their exclusive and organized media network, they (the West) disguise their lies as the truth, their falsehood as true, and their oppression as efforts to promote justice. In contrast, they brand as lies every true statement that exposes their deceit and label every legitimate demand as roguish.”
