Namaste

I honor the place in you

in which the entire universe dwells,

I honor the place in you

which is of Love, of Truth, of Light and of peace,

When you are in that place in you,

and I am in that place in me,

we are one.

You've heard of the "coalition of the willing" fighting in Iraq. We are to believe that it is a tightly knit group of like-minded nations "fighting terrorism". You probably haven't heard of the Coalition Security Fund. It pays coalition members large amounts of money to go to Iraq. For example, Albania received $6,000,000 for it's 155 troops... that comes to $38,000 per soldier.

September, 2006: "One of the hardest parts of my job is to connect Iraq to the war on terror".

Cree (or Hopi) Prophecy

Only after the last tree has been cut down, only after the last river has been poisoned, only after the last fish has been caught, only then will you find that money cannot be eaten.

Pay Attention

We all need to be aware that our country has run completely amok. We need to correct what has been done over the past few decades. Outlaw K St: no $ or any other perks from lobbyists, no kickbacks, no quid pro quo, no under-the-table "sweet deals" for legislators. We all need to get involved with our chosen party, and get rid of the greedy, egocentric, corrupt, power-hungry crowd. Get rid of NAFTA, re-regulate big business. Before it's too late.
