Update !!!

Hello friends,

It may have been luck or by the grace of God that I am here to write you all today. I have been in the hospital the last couple days, being treated for burns and smoke inhalation due to my house being on fire. I returned from an hour long walk with my dog, only to discover smoke coming from my house. I called 911 from a neighbors and then went in to the house filled with intense flames several times and rescued 3 of my 5 cats. When the fire dept showed up I was…

Indeed we are living in 'Interesting Times'!

There is so much that we are ignorant of. Weather patterns can be manipulated, earthquakes designed, videos doctored with Photoshop and people mobilized to take action not necessarily for their own benefit. We really have to become very discerning!

Our eyes, ears and minds need to open to new possibilities. We have been so programmed up till now. Let's look beyond the smokescreens. Let's start listening to our own intuition. Let's connect our minds to our hearts and…

The USDA Says Americans Need More Sugar…and More GMOs

Egypt's Revolution: Creative Destruction for a 'Greater Middle East'?

F. William Engdahl, February 5, 2011

Fast on the heels of the regime change in Tunisia came a popular-based protest movement

launched on January 25 against the entrenched order of Egypt's Hosni Mubarak. Contrary to the

carefully-cultivated impression that the Obama Administration is trying to retain the present

regime of Mubarak, Washington in fact is orchestrating the Egyptian as well as other regional

regime changes from Syria to Yemen to Jordan and well… Continue

Info to share

I received word within the past few days from a very trusted source, to "watch the news, and get ready". This person's husband is US military special ops with a quite high security clearance. He is stationed overseas (non-warzone), his wife is there also. He was called back from field ops/training to some type of meeting. When my friend returned to base, she was made to get out of her car and her vehicle was thoroughly searched (this is not the norm). I'm assuming that he…
