2012 The Big Picture

These videos are fantastic; released on August 17th on YouTube. I felt like I was there at the interview.

Finally—much of the mystery shrouding this event has been dissolved after almost 7 decades. Thank you so much to Matilda MacElroy, the nurse who conducted the interview, for sending the transcripts to the author of the book, “Alien Interview: You Can Know the Truth”, just prior to her death so that all might learn the truth.

In the video you’ll see this excellent photo (above) of the saucer that crashed near Roswell, which is in remarkably good shape, will learn that the sole surviving alien—although appearing androgynous—preferred to be considered a female, and that the nurse, Matilda, was the only one “she” would agree to communicate with.

When we think of wars in our times, our minds turn to Iraq and Afghanistan. But the bigger war is the war against the planet. This war has its roots in an economy that fails to respect ecological and ethical limits – limits to inequality, limits to injustice, limits to greed and economic concentration.

A handful of corporations and of powerful countries seeks to control the earth’s resources and transform the planet into a supermarket in which everything is for sale. They want to sell our water, genes, cells, organs, knowledge, cultures and future.
The continuing wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and onwards are not only about “blood for oil.” As they unfold, we will see that they are about blood for food, blood for genes and biodiversity and blood for water.

Britain’s Queen Elizabeth has been named as Forbes’ 26th most powerful woman in the world, while Duchess Catherine has been tipped as a woman to watch over the coming year.

The 86-year-old monarch is the oldest person to appear in Forbes’ 100 Most Powerful Women List and it would seem her Diamond Jubilee celebrations and appearance alongside Daniel Craig at the Olympics opening ceremony have contributed in helping her jump 23 places from last year.

TAMPA — The first day of the Republican National Convention was canceled Saturday because of the approaching threat of Tropical Storm Isaac, which forecasters expect to become Hurricane Isaac as it creeps up Florida's Gulf Coast and begins lashing the bay area overnight tonight.

Party officials made the decision after consulting Gov. Rick Scott and other local, state and federal officials. They fear the wind and rain could be so bad by Monday that it would make conditions too risky to transport delegates staying in Pinellas County hotels.
