RE: Smithsonian Study suggesting the Eradication of all Feral Cats

RE: The Smithsonian study on feral cat colonies.

There are a few things you need to know before you start exterminating feral cats and it has to do with Scientific Studies which sound so very accurate and pristine. They are neither and Scientific Method, though the holy grail of science, is fraught with the same problems any theory has when you try to practically apply it. It simply doesn't work a lot of the time.

The number one problem with Scientific Method and Studies is their scope. By definition when you start a study, you create a statement of purpose which is to prove let's say a certain substance is a good moisturizer. You then choose a representative number of subjects from YOUR available pool. This is very important because if you are doing the study in Iowa, your pool is liable to be more limited than in Miami and have very different previous exposures to sun and weather. Right there you can see how the study is going south, no pun intended, fast. You then have to balance the study, and that is an art that most scientists do not excel at that makes or breaks the study, because if it is not balanced between the test group and the placebo group, you have just skewed the study toward a single conclusion.

The secondary problem with these studies is once begun (paid for) they cannot be altered. So, if while studying how effective this substance is as a moisturizer, you happen to notice it cures skin cancer, no where in the documentation or final study can you make a statement of any kind saying it seems to cure skin cancer. That is when it becomes more diabolical. You would then have to take the part of the study which indicates it cures skin cancer (and cannot be published in the study) to present for another study but your study belongs to the company who PAID for it so you have to get their permission. Are you beginning to see a problem? If they stand to make more money using this as a moisturizer, why would they allow this substance to become a cure for skin cancer that now requires a doctor and prescription and a complete loss of the money they put into the first study and their new product. You work for them and you get paid by them and they own your work. Not only that, but in the great world of pure science it is publish or perish and whether you get published or not is dependent on whether you agree with the University or Museum's stance on a particular issue and whether you go along with the prevailing attitude because in the short, no study happens without money and you don't get money unless you agree with the people (those wonderful philanthropists like the Koch brothers) giving the money out for grants. The last thing you want to do is publish or do a study that offends your big donors over in the sports department.

Now let me move to the Smithsonian study which is badly skewed. I love all animals even rats. They are very intelligence, social creatures with a history of disease and destruction all the way back to black death in Europe and throughout Africa and Asia. I bring them up because rats are not native to North America and neither are house cats. Neither is your common house mouse native to North America. Both of these rodents cause millions of dollars in damage and cause disease. Both rats and the house mouse, were imported and the common house cat is their biggest predator. Both of these rodents are capable of living outside, so they are not just found in a dirty house. Quite the contrary, they push out the native species of mice, the most common being the white footed deer mouse from their natural habitat.

You may not recognize the white footed deer mouse but it has gotten a lot of press lately. It is only carrier of hantavirus identified so far.

“In mid-1993, the deer mouse (P. maniculatus) was first implicated as a potential reservoir of a type of hantavirus responsible for an adult respiratory distress syndrome, leading to several deaths in the Four Corners area of the United States. Subsequent isolations of the virus thought responsible for this illness have been made from several Western states. The source of the disease is thought to be through human contact with urine, feces, or saliva from infected rodents.” http://icwdm.org/handbook/rodents/whitefooteddeermouse.asp

The white footed deer mouse has moved into the house mouse category and proves to be a bit more destructive as they really do eat anything.

This study was designed to focus on songbirds alone and not the other species that feral cats predate (eat).

So let's look at your songbirds, many of which are also invasive species introduced to North America that push out the native birds that the Audubon society will scream their lungs out about the feral cats eating but fail to mention who and what is taking over their territory, pushing then into areas they are not able to live in and making them easy prey. Let me just give you a reference from a government study which if you read the whole thing will have you wondering just how many “native” birds are left.

Between 1872 and 1874, the Cincinnati Acclimatization Society spent $9,000.00 (a small fortune at that time) to set 20 species and 3,000 individual song birds loose. Henry Ford set 400 to 500 European song birds free on his estate in Dearborn, MI in April of 1913 but because it was a private estate, no data is available. The study is available at http://digitalcommons.unl.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1824&context=usdaarsfacpub and you can skip to page 49 for the songbirds. You might want to peruse the game bird section which is the first 48 pages.

The domestic feral cat was and is the main predator of both the introduced rat and mouse and the song birds. Both the rats/mice and songbirds are decimating the native populations of mice and songbirds. Are you beginning to see what the study did not cover?

There's more. The big scare tactic in the study was toxoplasmosis. The study neglected to mention this little tidbit from the CDC:

“Toxoplasmosis is considered to be a leading cause of death attributed to foodborne illness in the United States. More than 60 million men, women, and children in the U.S. carry theToxoplasma parasite, but very few have symptoms because the immune system usually keeps the parasite from causing illness.

However, women newly infected with Toxoplasma during pregnancy and anyone with a compromised immune system should be aware that toxoplasmosis can have severe consequences.”

I know this because I am a carrier. Toxoplasmosis is a parasite that is also carried by rats and birds and just about every warm blooded animal. It is capable of reproducing only in the cat but the cat gets it from eating infected birds and rodents and you can get it from other sources that the cat, unless you are eating cats and cat feces (poop). Without the birds and rodents, the cats couldn't get the parasite unless they suddenly became cannibals.

Contrary to the inferred method that all you have to do is touch something that is contaminated, the truth is, you have to swallow the parasite.

“Human infection may result from:

• Blood transfusions or solid organ transplants
• Carelessly handling cat litter, which can lead to accidental consumption (eating) of infectious particles
• Eating contaminated soil
• Eating raw or undercooked meat (lamb, pork, and beef)”

http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000637.htm

I most likely got mine not from cats but from a love of raw beef. Too bad it took me 62 years to become a vegetarian.

And before you really go panic, you should know the Mayo Clinic says: “Toxoplasmosis (tok-so-plaz-MO-sis) is a disease that results from infection with the Toxoplasma gondii parasite. This organism is one of the world's most common parasites.” or in other words, it is everywhere and you aren't escaping it.

In short, a none native species (cats) are predators for two destructive and disease carrying non-native species (rats and house mice) and native species of song birds are caught in the middle. No one is studying the effects of the non-native species of song birds on the native species because most people don't know their little finches and sparrows don't belong in this country.

Remove the colonies of feral cats and watch the colonies of rats and mice bloom. Now you may ask how badly....and I say, ask the Australians. With no natural predator for mice and the Aborigines killing and eating the cats, mice overran a section of Australia. The one documentary I saw, a rancher reached his arm into a feeding trough for his horse came out covered in mice. They were a dozen deep where ever there was a seed or anything they could eat. They left the ground without a stem of a plant because they eat the whole plant down to the roots if they can't find enough seeds.

Once those rats and mice bloom, you can kiss the birds goodbye because rats eat eggs and baby birds. They can easily climb into nests whereas a cat is too heavy to crawl out on the thin limbs where the bird nests. Rats attack in mass and are very intelligent. They hunt and scavenge all night and the list of diseases they carry make toxoplasmosis look like a walk in the park. Ground nesting birds will be the first to go and are, of course, the easiest prey for feral cats. But, most ground nesting birds are also the prey of hunters and if cats reduce their population, you just might have an outcry to kill all feral cats.

Unless you have a way of controlling the population of rats and mice (which so far, no one does) you might consider patting that feral cat on the head instead of killing it.

Now, let's see a study on non-native snakes as they really, really love a nice bird for dinner....

Birthdays were Great! ONCE upon a time.....

The Importance of Ritual and birthdays......

Since yesterday was my birthday and for the first time in a decade it passed without a disaster (someone is slipping up), this morning I was thinking about birthdays, the things we dread as we get older as we are one more year closer to death.

Well, I know death better than some acquaintances and we are on a first name basis, so he doesn't scare me and I think he actually likes my coffee. So, instead of dwelling on that, I started remembering birthdays as a child. Do you remember them? We all thought we were one year closer to freedom. Nah, that's not what we thought at all. It was our special day!

I'm going to do a generic birthday because my life was never even close to generic or “normal”. Now, if your birthday fell during the week, you might have to wait until Saturday for the “special day”, but the anticipation made it all the more special as you had no idea what the parents had planned for you and your friends.

You would spring out of bed early because you knew you were getting the special breakfast filled with everything you loved to eat and didn't even stop to consider it was unhealthy to have half a bottle of maple syrup on those waffles with the chocolate chips. Nope, it just tasted really good. If you were really young, this might be the day you got to taste coffee! That was a real let down but you plowed ahead because in the afternoon your friends were coming over, there would be cake and ice cream, as much as you could stuff, and you never thought about how sick you were going to be as you skipped lunch to make room for that CAKE! You played silly games until you finally got to the important part which was tearing into those gifts most of which were worthless because kids only had a few pennies allowance. Then everyone was lying around, half sick in a sugar coma and there was always one who couldn't hold his cake but there was no yelling or blame as he was passed off to knowing parents apologizing for the mess he made. You probably got to even stay up late as this magic marker made you a year older and gained you, and only you, admittance to the special place of the year older. It may have moved your bedtime which would take you half a year to get used to, again. BUT, it was your special day. Tomorrow, you would return to the same world, same routine and everyone would be the same, even throw-up boy as he was now known.

What went wrong? Well, someone told you how silly it was and how let down you would be the next day so let's just keep it low key. We weren't let down the next day. Someone always pinned the tail on someone other than the donkey but we didn't hold them responsible..they were blind folded and what's a little pin prick? Someone always got sick. There was usually one fight. How is this different in adulthood? We survived, commiserated the next day and had a good laugh until someone else's birthday party took its place in the good old days' remembrances on afternoons.

Do you remember when afternoons after school were spent sitting outside with your friends, talking. You know, actually moving your lips face to face. We ran out of school, freed from books until after dinner and chores like clearing the table were finished and then we went to work on homework. Do you remember crickets chirping and cool breezes? Do you remember making your own fun?

We worked our little arses off. We washed and dried dishes and progressed to mopping and sweeping and dusting. I even progressed to cooking. Can anyone remember helping a friend with the cleaning up so they could come out and play and never once....NO, NOT ONCE...thinking about what was in it for you because all you wanted was to enjoy each others' company until the sun went down and dinner was served. I used to help my neighbor babysit his little sister and keep her entertained until his mom and dad got home from work. We all thought he was weird (not in a bad way) because he had to go to Catholic school and we went to public school but it didn't start a religious war. She got to play with the big kids, a treat, and no one worried we were going to drop her off a roof or something. She was HIS sister and we took care of her, walked her across the street and taught her the fine points of being our golden age. We fell, got skinned up and got into fights. Goddess knows, I decked many a little boy who thought picking on someone smaller and female was the right thing to do. As my cousin will tell you, I taught him respect for women in five minutes and how much a broken nose hurts to set in the doctor's office when the man is really upset his dinner was interrupted and the doctor is laughing his ass off that a little girl half his size broke his nose and one rib. I looked so very angelic back then. My uncle was so embarrassed and my father was just smirking. Can you imagine that happening today without a law suit? We settled our own differences and hence, we learned how to do it. We didn't need a conflict resolution team.

What happened?

You think you are shielding your children but what you are really doing is criminal. You are preparing them for the world you live in which is obey the rules, fly under the radar and work your ass off so your kids can do the same. Your parents' parents thought they were giving their children a better world and a better life. Your goal is to keep the world the same and maybe they will manage to live. That is the definition of stasis which leads to atrophy and final death. When all things, even rocks, stop growing and changing...they die and decay making way for the next thing that will eat them and take their place. That's something you might want to think about. Can the whole Universe be wrong about that? I doubt it.

Why can't you have that special day? It's not going to ruin the rest of year, though you have been convinced of that. You've been convinced it is going to ruin your children. It has become a monetary extravaganza where parents try to out do each other and the TV show that is popular. Pin the tail on the donkey was an expensive party. Parents loaned that donkey out until it ceased to resemble anything like a donkey. New tails were cut out of paper. Every kid took something home even if it was the dreaded pencil or eraser. Candy was the favored treat because you could “hide” it in a pocket for that special time you needed a treat and discovered what mold was; something to scrape off and eat the candy underneath. Guess what? No one ever died from moldy candy. What it does is give you something to look forward to the rest of the year when things are really crappy. You WILL have another special day that is all yours and no one can have it but you and it will feel good.

It doesn't feed the Pharmaceutical companies with money from antidepressants. That memory is your happy pill. It doesn't feed the Medical Company with pills and office visits due to stress diseases. It is your relaxer. It doesn't kill you at an early age.

What do your children have to look forward to coming home with a load of books every day? Are they afraid to make friends because you are afraid everyone is going to hurt them? Are they unable to go to the new kid's house until you Google their parents and get a background check? Do “play dates” have to be scheduled a week or two in advance? Does every sleep over, party, or interaction require a TV or Movie theme? Are you their parents or their social secretaries/jailers? Adults had adult things to do and kids had kid things to do that we hoped the adults didn't find out about but they already knew because they had been kids. Have your kids ever been kids?

Let's all have more birthdays; that wonderful, magical day filled with gooey treats and surprises. Let's stop the fear which is just hate in sheep's clothing. The whole world will be a better place and you just might know your neighbor well enough to borrow a cup of something without wondering if they poisoned it. Let's go back to thinking the neighbors that were a different religion, color, sexual orientation or ethnic group were a little weird rather someone threatening our very existence and planning on killing us and destroying our way of life. Yes, there have always been gay people and they lived together as “old maids or bachelors” in the very towns we lived in and everyone knew but no one said anything or kept their kids blindfolded when they walked by their houses. They were just honorary aunts and uncles. We wanted to destroy our own way of life because we wanted our children to have a new, better world with a better way of life.

The people next door are just people like you are people. They may be different but if everyone was the same, it would be a really boring world.

Who does same benefit, my friends? It benefits a government that collects taxes and provides generic everything. It benefits big companies that only have to produce the same things and hire the same people who won't rock their boat by asking for new things. It benefits religions that get the same twenty in the same collection plate from the same people who parrot Amen while glancing at the score on their smart phone and having no idea what you just slipped into their subconscious that they agreed with by rote.

It does not benefit you. You just remain the same and die and give your children the same old world with the same old problems they tackle in the same old ways because everything is always a new version of the same.

Are you bored yet, because I am?

A Vision on My Birthday

I had a vision this morning and I am not fond of 6 in the morning visions. That is my best time for sleep but never-the-less, here it was.

First let me tell you about my question I went to sleep on as that is how I usually get information. I asked what the pineal gland does.

Why I asked this question was an article about a small town in England that has resisted fluoride in their water. Since they refuse to fluoridate their water, the town fathers have decided to add fluoride to the children's milk. Yes, they actually are going to make special cartons of milk with added fluoride in it and force the children to drink them. It was a very well done article and immediately drew fire in the guise of....we are sick of hearing about fluoride, shut up already..and that is a pretty accurate quote. No one attacked the science quoted in the article that fluoride doesn't work. If fluoride works, someone explain to me why I, who grew up with fluoridated toothpaste and water have a mouth full of caps. I reread the article and hit upon one sentence that gave the side effects of fluoride and one of them was calcification of the pineal gland. So, what does this gland really do? And more importantly, why are the town officials going to such expense to force fluoride on children?

Think about it. They cut pensions, food assistance, veteran's aide, medical care and housing and they are worried about our TEETH? It makes no sense.

In my vision, I was watching a war torn area. There were the usual two lines of soldiers at stalemate and a young woman who was captured by one side. I could hear this sound coming closer and closer. She asked one of the soldiers what it was as you couldn't make it out. He said it had been getting closer and closer and that now it was even with the other line of soldiers but they didn't know what it was except that no one had shot at them in an hour or two.

As the sound came closer, you could make out it was some sort of chanting and the word Om. Most of the soldiers started standing up and holding their hands over their ears and then dropping to the ground, unconscious. That was when I could see an irregular line of people dressed as monks with other ordinary people and soldiers coming over the horizon. They were chanting Om and something I could not make out but I knew it meant “join us in peace”. The soldiers that were still standing dropped their weapons and as the people passed them, they turned and joined in the chant and the march.

The interesting thing was not everyone was chanting at the same time. The chant was being done in a cascade and people in random positions would start the chant, overlaying other groups of people chanting so it seemed as though it was coming from everywhere. Nor was the line of people regular. It was simply a random group but I knew everyone, no matter when they started the chant or how progressed they were with the chant, or where they were in the group which stretched from one side to the other, was connected to everyone else in that moment and they could not be stopped.

Is this you????

Does this sound like your life?

You wake up in the morning, more tired than when you went to bed. Sometimes, even though you can't remember the 5 hours since 2 AM, you are pretty sure you didn't sleep.

You fortify yourself with coffee and sugar to make it to work.

By noon, you really aren't hungry, you'd just like a long nap and you can barely remember what you did this morning.

Lunch is huge feast of carbohydrates and fat, fortified with a caffeinated drink and back to work as fast as possible so you catch up on what you didn't get done this morning, except that once behind your desk you are in a stupor.

Some time around 3 PM you have a slight rally of energy during which you frantically try to catch up only to hit a wall around 5 PM when you can finally commute home though you probably shouldn't be driving.

Once home, you microwave something and fall on the sofa watching the news during which you get an hour of hysterical anchors giving you the doom and gloom of the day until finally you watch some mindless reality show where everyone is stabbing everyone in the back, lying and cheating, but that is reality. Maybe you switch to a comedy where Geeks are never amounting to anything, the pretty people are stupid and the rich guys are really, really dumb though that fails to explain how they made all that money in the first place.

More news followed the funny monologue to lift your spirits but even it a biting sarcasm about politics and then you get to toss and turn and worry about your 30 pounds overweight, aches and pains and total loss of energy.

Finally the weekend comes around and your to-do list is catch up on sleep which you never seem to do. Even your kids once they hit school are on the same merry-go-round.

You tried the vitamins to the point that with a little ketchup you would have three meals.

You tried exercise but could barely lift your feet and had even less energy.

You tried the super food sand they did nothing.

You tried to lose weight because no matter the symptom, that was what the doctor told you would solve it, but you can't. If you could lose weight, you would have done that years ago.

Maybe you even got a diagnosis of something exotic like fibromyalgia and joined a support group. You still aren't any better.

You can take this to a doctor and if that doctor can find an error in my conclusion, let them prove it.

There is no pill, position or food that is going to help you.

I am a biofeedback therapist and started seeing this moment I entered the profession because it was what I was trained to see. You are suffering from adrenal overload.

Humans and animals have what is called a flight or fight response when presented with a dangerous situation.

Now you may be thinking the maximum amount of danger you face is a paper cut. That is the actual amount of physical danger you face, the real danger. What you are unaware of is make believe danger you face.

It starts with the news and all the bad things about to happen. Your guns, vote, freedom, women and way of life are threatened every evening and before bed by some enemy who probably doesn't care you exist. Reality shows give you a frightening distorted view of reality in which everyone is out to get you. Can you really trust the family next door or the kid in a hoodie? Comedies should be relabeled tragedies because no one is winning in those either.

Everyone of these things creates a fear response in your mind which begins the flight or fight response.

Let me explain what happens when this response is activated.

First, your blood vessels constrict in your finger, toes, hands, feet, arms, legs and outer layer of skin and muscle and start to push the blood to the core of your body flooding your deep muscles and organs and preventing you from bleeding to death from non-life threatening cuts. This also prepares your muscles to fight or run fast. Any athlete will you this causes a build up lactic acid in the muscle which results in aches and pains. It also raises your blood pressure and stretches your blood vessels.

You begin to breathe more shallowly. You start to tense your arms and legs. You begin to sweat to make it harder for your enemy to hold on to you and then, NOTHING.

There is no enemy to run from or to fight, but your body doesn't know that. It will maintain this state of awareness and readiness until you wear yourself out. You don't even know you are doing it because all of this is happening below your level of awareness. It is like your kidneys functioning or breathing. You aren't aware of it.

The result is the life I detailed above. High blood pressure from all the tensing with no release and if you have a weak blood vessel, an aneurism. All this leads to a heart attack or stroke. Your immune system is activated to take care of any wounds and it stays activated until it wears itself out and you catch every bug that is going around.

Beside massive and ongoing organ damage, a final punch arrives. It's called cancer. You in such a unnatural state that unnatural things start to happen because you are too weak to fight off chemical pollution, allergens and little infections.

All of this occurs because of the constant stream of hate, fear and paranoia you are subjected to every day. You used to go into the doctor's office, DMV, restaurant and if a TV was on you watched a game show or maybe a soap opera. Now you get 24/7 panic attack news, very little of which is factual. Last year I was getting my hair cut and in came a man, livid over something on the news that was an outright lie and didn't even affect him. Oh, I take that back. He was shaking, yelling, sweating and unable to sit still. Yes, it was affecting him.

This is what is wrong with you. This why you are sick and tired and tired and sick all the time. This is why your children who face a constant barrage of tests rather than learning, are sleeping all weekend trying to catch up. You and them, blurry eyed at noon or later over a bowl of sugar...I mean cereal.

At the current rate of hate, fear and spoon fed paranoia, you should start burning out by 30.

Do you know that burn out didn't exist when I was a young adult? You found a job you liked that paid a living wage and you planned on being with that company until retirement. If you were the janitor, that was what you wanted to be. Who is in a job right now that they want to be? Who looks forward to going to work in the morning?

I just read an article suggesting, no demanding, that the author of the Harry Potter books retire, not on some religious or quasi-philosophical argument with the books, but because younger authors should be allowed to publish. She is taking up too much space on the bookshelf. It's time to let someone younger put their book there.

I even saw a letter in dear Abby replacement, suggesting that all older workers retire and open up jobs and promotions for younger people.

Your body knows what this means, but your brain to foggy from constant fear to translate it.

Older people just take up space and food that can be better used to feed and employ younger workers who are too stupid to realize they are about to be the burnt out old people they want to replace for half the price. While we are at it, let's cut social security and medicare so we can starve grandma and grandpa and kill them with easily treated illnesses.

Now that we have done that, let's rewrite history because no one is around who remembers what really happened. You don't really care because you are willing to agree to anything if you can just get a little nap.

I am also a hypnotherapist. Remember that 2 to 7 AM period you are pretty sure you didn't sleep during but you can't remember anything that happened. That is what is called a hypnogogic state. This is a very special mental state in which you are easily manipulated because you want to go to sleep and can't. You will agree to anything to just sleep. It is also a state in which you suffer night terrors where you are paralyzed and can't move. It is more importantly the state in which you see archetypes, figures that embody all the characteristics of bigger than life stereotypes. Death shows up at the foot of the bed in a robe carrying a scythe. Abraham Lincoln comes to take you to freedom. God shows up with advice or the kid in the hoodie has a really big gun. This state is very seldom a pleasant one. More negative than positive figures show up when your world is filled with fear, hate and paranoia.

Yes, my friends, the TV, radio and Internet may well kill you with fear, hate and paranoia.

A certain amount of fear is justified when there are cobras in the fields, but when all the snakes are nonpoisonous, the fear of them is what will kill you. You don't need a real snake to do it.

So right about now the question should be flitting across your brain about whether someone is deliberating trying to kill you and everyone around you.

Let me break a few myths because you are being lied to, bamboozled and conned. The lie is scarcity. There is no scarcity of anything. There are people growing a ton..that's 2,000 pounds of food a month using 1/10 the water a conventional farm uses on less than an acre. It's called aeroponics. Plants are suspended on a conveyor belt and travel round and round all day past misters than moisten their roots and feed them. All plant waste goes to feed earthworms that produce the “soup” that feeds the plants. I saw this setup at Epcot 20 years ago. Those squash were humongous! There is self sustaining hydroponics where food fish are raised in aquariums below plants, eating their plant roots and fertilizing the plants with fish poop. And for those who want the conventional in the ground garden there is a family raising all their food, eggs and milk from goats on less than a half an acre. There is no shortage of food. Wind and solar power produce enough power to take the place of oil and coal within a year if we fast tracked it. There is no scarcity of power. The mint prints out money by the bucket full every day. There is no shortage of money, just of money you can get your hands on. There is no shortage of wealth.

Ah, but what about the pandemics killing me off. You can sell the duct tape and plastic wrap. By the time you find out about the pandemic, you will be dead or really wish you were. There is always a case of bird flu in China and there has always been bird flu in China and it is not coming to get you because it never has. Every continent has its deadly disease. We have ours. It is carried by mice and it kills in days but it stays in the desert in a very specialized environment. You can stop worrying about it.

You are being played, conned and lied to about all this. It isn't a problem.

The thing that seems to have so many people on the edge is someone is coming to get your gun. Well, not all guns are registered. So, someone has to knock on every door and physically take your gun away. How many houses in your neighborhood or apartments in your complex. How long would it take, even with a good workforce to go door to door in say, New York? Who is going to do this? Have you seen a hundred soldiers lounging on the street corner? You don't even have enough cops to fight crime much let alone go door to door. The government can't even conduct the census door to door. It is physically impossible.

Now, how much impact does anything your neighbor does have on you? Playing music too loud might keep you up at night but in reality, there is very little the guy next door can do that has any effect on your life. Be honest, if he running around his front yard nude, your first thought is going to be...gee, I'm in better shape than that. Are you more likely to be discussing lawn care or religion? Truth, now. Lawn care won. So why are you having a religious meltdown because someone, somewhere belongs to a different religion? It might be because someone on the news told to and you are too tired to disagree and too brain fogged to think straight because you are conditioned to fear everyone, hate anyone not just like you and you know they are all out to get you, you just don't know who they are but your body is ready to fight or run 24/7. You are car up on blocks with the petal to the metal and your engine is going to burn out.

Turn the TV, radio and internet off. Get to know the people around you. Smile instead of hiding. Make eye contact. You have nothing to be afraid of. It is all a lie. The lie will kill you and yes, someone is doing it deliberately. Remember when you were young. Remember when you believed in promises. Remember when you worked cheap just to get the job to get experience so you could get the better job because you were young and naïve. They sure do make the best workers......and just as soon as you are too sick and too tired to work and lying on the sofa in a one bedroom apartment staring at the boob tube or the computer eating a chemical hash and dying quickly, big business can make a bigger profit.

Where is Karma when you need her???

On tipping points, karma and inconsistencies.....

I have been sitting around wondering just what the Hades is wrong with the world. The Universe is always balancing. The Universe is about balance. So why does it seem things from the ground up are so very out of balance? Surely the Universe is not about Hate, though it seems it is at the moment.

This is complicated....

People in high positions are hurting very real people with full knowledge of the amount of pain they are inflicting including death. No one can be so stupid that they actually believe any god is going to forgive you for harming that many people no matter what you wash your hands in or what underwear you have on at the time. Can they??????

How do you get a huge number of people to follow you doing these things?

Why did 6 bankers, this month, die under suspicious circumstances that were ruled freak accidents or suicide?

Where is Karma when we need her?

What if, there is really a limited amount of energy both positive and negative?

What if you create such a huge amount of negative energy at the top that all the positive (karma) energy is required to balance it? That would leave the negative at the bottom free to do whatever it wanted with no retribution and plenty of rewards. Now if negative energy feeds on suffering and a huge numbers of little people are left free to prey on others making them suffer, you can create a loop of hate that feeds on itself having reached the tipping point.

There is just one bad thing about tipping points.

When they occur, they take EVERYONE with them and as the old saying goes...the higher you are, the farther you fall and the harder you hit.

Will any of this affect the people that are directing this?

Don't make me laugh.

They use others through innuendo and vague promises of money, power and immortality to do their work. Since their hands are never 'dirty', they never suffer the consequences. It's the ones who do their dirty work that suffer for their dirty work, from the bottom up.

Can We Live Forever?

Can we live forever?

That is a question that arises from my last post. Were we engineered to die early? Are the Annunaki, whose DNA we possess a good deal of, immortal and more importantly, if Sitchen translated the documents correctly, is there really machine that can reverse aging and even bring you back to life?

In my opinion, the answer to all those questions is yes. It is, once again, a case of look here, not there.

A year or two ago the announcement was made that scientists had found the cause of aging and death. It seems your DNA has a tail. The longer the tail, the longer you live. Every time the cell divides, the tail suffers damage and shortens. Immediately scientists lined up to stop that tail from shortening.

At the same time the far Right, the almost human Annunakiphiles, launched an all out assault on stem cell research even when scientists had succeeded in producing stem cells from other than fetuses. They are after “pro-life”, just not yours. Look over there, not here.

May I suggest that the easier solution to the aging problem is not to spend the next hundred years trying to fix the tail on our DNA, but to instead fix the mechanism, stem cells, that cease to function and regrow healthy cells. You see, a cell only multiplies correctly so many times and that, I believe is the code in the tail. After that, the cell needs to be discarded and a new one created to replace it. If your stem cells did not stop producing healthy cells, that would naturally happen but someone removed the link between them and regular cells that would have communicated the need to produce new healthy, young cells. Many reptiles are capable of regrowing not only tails but their arms and legs. We have reptile DNA.

If that link were artificially stimulated, you would replace your old cells with new ones and the result would be a reversal of aging if not of death. Of course, if you had mastered cloning, you would only need one cell to regrow a dead person...all of which is detailed in the translations by Sitchen.

So you see, it is no godlike powers that are needed, just simple science and we are too close to seeing that to be allowed to live.  

The Mother of all Conspiracy Theories

The Mother of all Conspiracies

In many ways I am lucky. I have lived in the time that spanned the primitive era of communications of the party telephone line where up to 15 people shared a single phone line and newspaper communications. I saw television come into existence and even computers. I was around when the internet was born and with a very expensive service, you could access databases of information. That was way before Google. Now, more information than anyone can process is available at the click of a mouse in a split second if you have a good connection. We used to have to wait for the library to open and then look it up in an Encyclopedia that was at least 5 years out of date! Not only that, but they were huge and heavy. Now all that fits in the palm of your hand.

BUT....before I was even born, before this country was even in its infancy, the founders were warning of a conspiracy to destroy it and the people of this planet. We aren't talking about some nut cases bowing down to Glenn Beck. We are talking about Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin and even our first president, George Washington. Information was hard to come by in those times. Have you ever wondered what they could have stumbled upon to cause them to birth the original conspiracy theory? Those men didn't believe in internet MEMEs...because they didn't exist. They believed in what they could see, hear and touch. They were schooled in logic and reasoning. Where did this come from, you have to ask?

Then we move on to my generation and my parent's generation. President Eisenhower, a decorated military man, warned of the same thing, as did Kennedy when he tried to dismantle the Federal Reserve (a privately owned bank) and then Johnson. No Republican after Eisenhower has breathed the words: Military Industrial Complex. Reagan in a moment of clarity alluded to a Christian Rightwing taking over the country and then slipped back into senility. All these allusions to someone trying to take over the country and the world.

I have sat with some of the most intelligent men simply because a girl of my age asking the right questions was amusing to them. They all spoke of this conspiracy but at no point did they ever nail the conspiracy down, who the conspirators were and how it was to be implemented. All they had because of the constraint of the manner of communications was implication, various threads and a vague “them”.

I asked two questions. Who are they? What is the ultimate goal?

I got no answer because all anyone had was threads...pieces of a puzzle that had no box with a picture. You knew something was going on and you knew it was bad but you didn't know who or really what. You could point to single pieces but not arrange them, every once in a while two piece clicked together and floated like an island in the middle of the rest of the fragments, and you had an overall view that said someone, somewhere was controlling everything to a massive destructive meltdown or something.

Well, we are in the meltdown and no one still has the answers. I've been studying this for over 50 years. Yes, I actually started this study with my father when I was only 8 years old simply because I had the unique ability to connect the dots, i.e. see patterns. My pattern recognition skills were off the charts and he wanted to know what I could see because he couldn't put it together. He had the same talent. Well, it didn't go well until in my teens I realized I was not looking at something that was linear or single dimensional. I was looking layers upon layers of plot and action. The puzzle was multidimensional. I don't expect very many of you to understand that but that is the main reason this conspiracy eludes even the best thinkers of our times and past times.

Let me give you a practical example. Where do you see yourself at 10 PM EST on January the 24^th, 2075? Seriously, think about this.

You cannot answer that question simply because you have no idea what will exist on that date. You are reading this on a laptop, desktop, tablet or maybe a phone, none of which existed 50 years ago. I am sitting on a memory foam topper. The very substance didn't exist. You could not have printed the fabric I am wearing or even created it 50 years ago.

Now I have another question or two. Do you even care where you will be in 50 years? Do you have an exact plan including an address or a vague outline or thought? The answer is really no unless you are fooling yourself. Humans do not plan that far ahead because they don't live that long. You may think about planning something in your 20's but you really expect to be dead by your 70's. So, who plans, if we are to believe Thomas Jefferson and the rest, hundreds of years in advance and why? You're going to be dead. Your kids are going to be dead and even your grand kids are going to be pushing up daisies if you have any. That's a big if.

Now I have given you the answer to who they have to be. They have to be something that lives for hundreds of years to even think about planning that far in advance. Yes, we just fell down the rabbit hole and while you visiting with me here, let's think about something else. You would either have to be world's best psychic or futurist to predict what you will be wearing in a hundred years or control the technology that weaves the material and that means the technology has to exist at that time in the past. You might want to read that a few times.

A washed up drunk CIA agent once told me that any technology I saw come out that day was at least 15 years old. I think he was off by a few thousand years.

Simple point about archeology....hundreds of giant skeletons have been found in North America, most in the Southwest where the native Americans have always claimed a race of giants existed and then died out because they were cannibals, and sent to the Smithsonian where they seem to have disappeared into thin air. With the glory of the Internet and scanners, pictures of these skeletons have surfaced. Why were they hidden?

It seems that anything that did not agree with the history (emphasis on story) was buried or destroyed. What do you gain by hiding history? You are hiding what you have already done. That makes it hard to see what you are doing right now and predict what you will do. In fact, it almost makes it impossible.

From my conclusions, we are dealing with a technologically advanced race that lives pretty much forever and has a definite plan for this planet. They are terraforming the planet through global warming by directing the technology into using coal, oil and gas as sole energy providers. Do you really think we weren't capable of solar and wind power at the same time we developed a dependency on oil? Hemp creates more oil, cleaner oil and better building products and it was outlawed. Why? We've been duped and funneled down a narrow path of existence by something that already had the technology they carefully allowed us to think we were discovering. Instead of some huge Star Trek space ship arriving and changing a barren planet into something livable, they just landed and created million of little terraformers...sort of like nanomachines going in and fixing your organs, or vaccines multiplying through your body to prevent you from catching something.

This is really going to stretch your concept of reality. You cannot imagine 50 years in the future. What if you lived for thousand years. A week our time would seem like a minute or two. Think about your dog or cat. One year in your life equals 7 to 9 years in their life and yet, to you it is still one year. If you lived a thousand years, planning for one century would be in your dayplanner. But far more than that, you and I are nothing more than a blink of their eye, an ant crawling across the surface of the planet. We are irrelevant. We simply do the dirty work of building what they already have planned.

We can see we are being manipulated in one or more directions but we simply can't live long enough o see what we are creating and we can't even look back through history to see the pattern unfolding because history is being hidden from us.

What difference does it make that a race of really tall people populated North America and ate each other? What difference does it make there were cone headed people in South America and Egypt and even now the mutation shows up every once in a while? What difference does it make that Neanderthal interbred with Cro-Magnon and became us? It only makes a difference if you start asking who manipulated the genetics for optimum results and perhaps created us out of a bunch of creatures. Did you know a geneticist has found fragments of pig DNA in our DNA? No one wants to talk about that. We might start asking who god is? And if we do that, they lose their best tool of manipulation.

I also began to ask how you hide from a very curious species for thousands of years. I mean it was once really easy. You just declared yourself god, build a city with good security and ruled. However, to achieve your ultimate plan of terraforming, you had to allow the creatures you created to multiply and ruin (I mean upgrade) the existing planet. So at some point, right around the Middle Ages, angels and god disappeared and stopped showing themselves to man. Perhaps it was because we might notice they weren't completely like us nor were they any supernatural creature, just something a few steps above us and probably subject to being whacked with a big stick.

As long as we did not travel the globe, they could just pick up and move every few years to a prepared location and resume their cushy lifestyle.

Google Earth Maps has put an end to that even though it now allows them to keep way better tabs on us. Every advance at this point has a counter point that is not advantageous to our controllers.

Living that long must be pretty boring, eventually. What if you were stuck for centuries with your pets and a few people? You'd be pretty nuts by now. The conversation has reached repetition. The jokes are not only old but rotted. You are probably talking to yourself for an intelligent challenge. Not only that, but whoever sent you here had to know that was going to happen. There is too much chance you might go off the deep and start playing games, not following the master plan, if you remembered it.

Now we have returned to good old Thomas and his crew that only believed in what they could see, hear and touch. Somewhere, there must be a hard copy of the plan and what each step has to be. You don't leave a whole plant in the hands of what was probably young people in their perspective and plan on coming back in a few hundred thousand years without a hard copy plan. That has to be what these leaders at some point have seen and tried to make minor adjustments to throw it off course. After all, you know you can't trust your dog not to steal your shoe when you aren't looking. When the dog figures out how make shoes, it will copy your shoes and chew them. That means , my friends, the ultimate goal is not in our favor. Otherwise, just go with the flow and have fun. These men fought to their dying day to disrupt whatever roller coaster we are on.

As one old TV show started with: “We have the technology....”, and we do. All we have to do is wake up and realize something doesn't have our best interests at heart, take control because we way outnumber them and numbers always win, and then fix our planet and our society.

We can never go back to where we were. Global warming is a fact and we have to quickly adapt every aspect our lives. We have to be the architects of our world. We have to throw the money people, as money has become the new god, out of our temple. We have to change world into a global community in order to defeat them simply because they have controlled us globally since day one. We must become a community of individuals, each with their own talents and each living their own lives in peace to create what we as a global community need.

Rationally, what difference does it matter if your neighbor is purple? Just think about it. Does a white cat care if it has black and striped kittens. No, they are all cats. Fur is just something they wear. Skin is just something we wear. Color is something “they” use to divide us. Does it really matter what your neighbors believe? God or no god doesn't plant the garden, you do. Does it matter what they wear? In the matter of surviving, having enough food and shelter, getting medical care and help when you need it, the only thing that matters is another human helping you, not what they look like or what religion they follow. All that matters is their talent.

Overthrow the overseers by refusing to buy their hatred and division. It doesn't matter what you believe, what your color or sex is or what you wear, to them you are nothing more than an inconvenient worker ant slave that eventually has to be culled to only those who will bow down and service them. You really don't want to make that grade. Your only strength is in numbers, united.
