Father's Forest and Earth's Inner Sun

On travel...Spending time at my Father's Forest (US)... Our family goal is to have built the "beginnings" of a life-time sanctuary by 2010. The property spans a rugged 650 acres, amidst many underground tables; with a limited area to accommodate echo-friendly architecture...
Interesting: Many UFO sightings amidst the Volcano have attracted new-wave scientists, the world over...

The clips below explore the deeper question amidst disappearing Lakes and Earth changes...And the need for us to seek within our Earth as well as beyond...

The case of the disappearing Great Lake -View: Slideshow
View NASA's remarkably advanced climate and earth imagery... Which, incidentally, lends proof to the existence of a powerful Inner Sun...
View larger: From Earth Observatory
I believe that it is Earth's inner sun with its solar wind, which are causing the auroras to light up on all the planets including earth...
Dr. Brooks Agnew (also VIDEO below) reports on the Cassini spaceship's capture of images of the North Polar Opening of Saturn...

Saturn is hollow, and appears to have a hexagonal shape. Interesting is its brilliant aurora caused by it's Inner Sun emanating electrons and protons from its solar wind. These winds emanate OUT of Saturn's polar opening which then follow the electomagnetic field lines of the planet AWAY from the polar area. #.
Thus, the auroral lights are NOT caused by our outer sun, but by an Inner Sun suspended within the hollow of each planet...

-Interesting Video below... I might add that remote-viewers have confirmed the existence of a civilization; but I can remember as a child, being taught (somehow) that our universe which continually expands, exists is "inside of another planet" and that the universe/space planet exists inside of another...With an infinite linking (similar to a strand of DNA)...
What exists above, so too, exists below..

A couple of links from today and yesterday:
This from Professor Bob Carter, an environmental scientist at James Cook University, who Studies Ancient Climate Change...

And this from Talking Hawk (Mohawk Indian)

Will Update as Time Permits

Barbay Garden 6-17-07
I Dedicate this Rose to:
The people of the Russian Province of Dagestan & Chechnya; and Christians in the South of Nigeria...And dedicate it to the Hindus in India/Pakistani who live in Kashmir; and the Chinese in the Xinjiang Ulghur Region...

This rose is for the dear people of Southern Thailand; and the Sudanese in South Region; the Palestinians in both West bank & Lebanon; and lastly, the native ethnic betes of the Ivory Coast...

Their lives are disrupted by Radical Islamist Militants, who exploit and attack in order to form Radical Islamist States...
I wish strength of assessment for those caught in the cross-fire... To weigh their plight carefully in independent thought, against the Free World's sacrifice for your freedom...The answer lies within ones freedom to choose Peace...

NASA Mission Amidst Retrograde-Direct

Today's Astrology remains the Pseudoscience of research, yet in the earlier ages of man, Astrology was once the sole reference point of the human intuitive computer. Since the earliest awakenings of Astronomy; windows of planetary orbits & their relationship toward electromagnetic beings, held curious phenomenon...
Astrologers were the bridge to connect and synchronize Worlds.


-Concerning NASA's: space station computer woes
View VIDEO: Man's Solar Rays of the 2000's! (Aid origin of the crash)

Today, a brilliant NASA mission designed to broaden our knowledge of scientific effects (and explore our interdependence with the universe) experiences computer malfunction... In what is known to astrologers as:
The cycle of Mercury Retrograde direct .

View: Retrograde and direct motion
"This apparent retro-gradation puzzled ancient astronomers, and was one reason they named these bodies 'planets' in the first place: 'Planet' comes from the Greek word for 'wanderer'. In the geocentric model of the solar system, retrograde motion was explained by having the planets travel in deferents and epicycles. It was not understood to be an illusion until the time of Copernicus." #

Mercury is said to enter its shadow when it moves into the portion of the zodiac that will have its tracks retraced once it goes retrograde. Similarly, it leaves its shadow once it has completed retracing that same path in its forward motion...
©- Laurence Hillman animation

When Mercury enters its shadow, this is considered to be the precursor period, during which we might begin to actually feel the impending effects of the retrograde cycle. In fact, some people seem to have more difficulty with this shadow period than the actual retrograde cycle itself.

Once Mercury moves direct, but before leaving the shadow, we might feel some of the fallout from the retrograde cycle. For example, if you mailed something during the retrograde cycle and it never arrived, it might take until Mercury has moved forward beyond the shadow before it is actually delivered to the intended recipient. Read synopsis


-Science & Pseudoscience: the Differences, Hardly Just "Adequate

And what a curious video! (haha) "A mother from Chicago see's Astronauts from the shuttle Atlantis and the Johnson space centre rather than her son on her baby monitor!
Cycle of June/July:
Enters shadow: May 31
Goes retrograde: 23:41 UT (Universal Time) just before midnight on June 15 (Cancer)
Goes direct: July 10
Leaves shadow: July 24
Often 2 days prior or after)


Approximately four times a year, Mercury, the planet of communication, goes retrograde.. and as it appears to move backward often chaos ensues. The effects of Mercury Retrograde, can mean repeats and delays and malfunction which effects communication, computers, transportation, & electronics. -#

Afghan Women Learn Civil Rights

I believe that the cycle of violence in Afghanistan first weighs against the female. And so too, this is where it will end! This video (taken in Afghanistan) shows Afghan women as they are schooled in civil rights...
-In preparation for elections!
Rising from the ashes of a brutally enforced, restriction of Universal rights; Women were also forbidden to write, seek education, or gather in assembly. Sadly, some in the west still see this as an unpopular war.
Yet, be reminded that the sight, for many Afghan Females, is through the eyes of those who have been beaten, raped, and widowed by the Taliban, al-Qaeda, and Radical Islamist Fundamentalists...

They are not interested in temporary safety, and see an involvement in civil rights, as their only chance to beat the pattern of violence inflicted upon them, by these groups...This is the only hope for their sons & daughters.

-UPDATE- My guest hadi ali makes this correction:
In afghanistan the population of hazaras are 30%, and not 9%...
Thanks Hadi! :)

UN Extends Mandate--Troops Vital

U.N. supports U.S troops staying in Iraq
UNITED NATIONS - The U.N. Security Council agreed Wednesday to an Iraqi request to extend the mandate of the U.S.-led multinational force after the country's foreign minister said the troops were "vitally necessary." #

Not without consequence; Reid continues "war-loss" statements... Hopefully our troops may now continue the mission; as our Generals, Wednesday's UN body mandate extension, & most importantly...

Al-Sadr slams Baghdad security plan

And as W. Thomas Smith Jr. (national review) states:
"Fact is, U.S. Marines are sick of the politics about Iraq. And, as I've been reporting, they are tired of the distorted — and often flat-out wrong — poll findings about how they (the troops) are supposed to be feeling about the Iraq war."
Hanity interviews our troops, or his visit to Iraq...
instapundit posts Iraq updates:
Why The Most Important Stuff Is Not Reported
"what doesn't get reported is that most of the country is quiet, and there has been 4-5 percent growth in the overall economy for the past four years. Actually, there was a huge jump in economic growth, about 40 percent, in the year after Saddam fell.

That has now settled down. Anyone who has been to Iraq, particularly American soldiers, can't help but notice the traffic jams, shops full of goods, and all those Iraqis walking around with their new cell phones. Yes, it's a war zone, but it's also a growing economy."

Nuclear Secrets & Mullah Regime States

BBC Documentary Series: Nuclear Secrets is highly worth your time
Short clips (below)
As ElBaradei continues to warn that unless diplomatic means were found to stop Iran's escalation of the installation of new centrifuges; the country could have 8,000 of the machines in place by the end of the year...
The U.N. urges U.S. to defuse standoff with Iran

Iran touts technical excellence toward Nuclear development...
But the fact is, several million dollars bought the Iranian Mullah regime their Nuclear program. Video below demonstrates that centrifuges could not have been built in Iran...
The identified prototypes? Unmistakably acquired: Abdul Qadeer Khan!
Nuclear experts say...
"If all those machines were working — which would be a tremendous challenge for Iran, given the highly sensitive nature of the equipment and the technical obstacles that have plagued Iranian engineers for years — they could produce enough uranium for roughly three nuclear weapons a year." #
We are seeing the Iranian Regime's armies as they busily quest for territory. How soon will we see the prototype for another “1980's Abdul Qadeer Khan”?

Examining the Regime's ethics, associations, and ideological roots; Ayatollah Mesbah Yazdi (Ahmadinejad’s mentor, advisor) in the quest for conversion of Islamic Republic to Islamic government; believes that slavery and aggression are justifiable under Islam, and supports suicide bombing against Israel...

In a lecture that was released in February 15 2006, Mohsen Ghorourian who is a well-known student of Ayatollah Mesbah Yazdi said that using atomic bomb has religious legitimacy...

View the next Video of Abdul Qadeer Khan who cheated Europe
Iran resorts to psychological warfare
An article by Amir Taheri- for Gulf News nails it completely...
It appears that Iran's top brass apparently do not share Ahmadinejad's belief that a duel with the US would be short and sweet...let alone that it would end with Tehran's victory.
"President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's theory that a limited war against the United States is inevitable and that, once it is fought, the Americans will run away, leaving Tehran to set the agenda for the Middle East and, perhaps, even beyond.
Further, the author says...
The IRGC has a more specific cause for concern. It knows that in case of a major war it would be the principal target of US attacks. The destruction of the IRGC could leave the mullahrchy defenceless and vulnerable to a power grab by the regular army in alliance with the political opponents of Khomeinism.

Iran might become another Iraq, as far as the US is concerned. But Ahmadinejad and his IRGC backers could end up where Saddam Hussain and his Baathist cohorts did.

Palestinian Militants Defy Makkah Accord

Militants blame others; but only an agreement that is valued, is kept.
Those who say that the Palestinians are paying the price of creating a Democracy; are (instead) viewing its critical breach; right along with the destruction of HRH Saudi King Abdullah's Makkah Accord.

View this Video of Hanan Ashrawi (FMR Member) of Palestinian Legislative Council states, "Very clearly it is a situation of Mutiny, of resorting to armed insurrection, in order to challenge the institutions of the Palestinian Authority and State."
Gaza fighting signals end of Makkah accord
Saudi King Abdullah Bin Abdul Aziz brokered this peace agreement (2/8/07) with the sole intention of ending the violence, and reaching a solution...
One of the significant features of the Makkah accord was Hamas' willingness to "respect" past deals between Palestinians and Israel...But it looks more like the Makkah agreement was (instead) used as a time to rest and recoup until the next chance to resume fighting...Nader Al Saeed, sociology professor at Beirzeit University believes this, as I do.

Read this article: A Bloc to Stabilize Middle East by Amir Taheri
"The perceived threat comes from Iran, which, suffering from political schizophrenia, cannot decide whether it is a nation-state or a revolutionary cause.

The biggest loser from the Makkah accord is the regime in Tehran that had invested in Hamas and its sister organization Islamic Jihad, in the hope of overthrowing Abbas and extinguishing hopes of talks with Israel.

Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had designated the Palestinian territories as part of Iran's glacis in an eventual war with Israel and the United States. With the Makkah accord, Tehran loses that part of its imaginary glacis.

Xhorxh Bushi: Honored by Albanians

Bush Receives Hero's Welcome in Albania
For many of the World's Nations of today, Modernity is Liberty and Freedom of the People's Voice... And amidst their struggle ahead; Albanians honor Xhorxh Bushi who stood beside them, and believed it could be their Choice...

"Albanians know the horror of tyranny," the president said. "And so they're working to bring the hope of freedom to people who haven't known it. And that's a noble effort and a sacrifice."

The U.N. Security Council has been divided over Kosovo's independence. The United States and key European countries support Kosovo's statehood while Russia, traditionally a Serbian ally, opposes it. Moscow says it would set a dangerous precedent for other breakaway regions." Read more

"Russia has threatened to veto a UN resolution that endorses the Ahtisaari plan and prompted a split between Western countries on the timescale of a solution - agreed or imposed.

At the latest G8 summit in Germany, newly-elected French President Nicolas Sarkozy proposed a six-month delay in a Security Council vote that otherwise appeared imminent - to avoid a Russian veto.

But countries like the US and the UK say no extension is ever going to produce agreement between Kosovo Albanians and Serbs - a view firmly shared by Mr Ahtisaari himself who sent his package to the UN after Serbia's refusal to negotiate." Read more

Celebrities in Smaller Doses, Please!

It's expected to be "just the price of fame"... But mix that with vehicles, high speed chases, and the droves of paparazzi feeding hundreds of daily publications...And one realizes that gone are the days when a gentler dose of imagery, included the likes of Artists such as Wallace Seawell
Photographers Ready to feed "public fascination"
Stars denounce paparazzi fervor
“There’s a level of familiarity with celebrities that’s implied by this tabloid world,” says Catherine Olim, a publicist with the PMK-HBH agency who represents such stars as Nicole Kidman and Glenn Close. “It’s very scary. And it can literally put celebrities’ lives in danger.”

It's wrong for anyone to drive under the influence! But it might even be a bad move for a celebrity to drive... And while the world shouts inequality; how many ordinary civilians have their dates and dinners monitored by long-range lens; and the slightest drink contents, set on CHP speed-dial?
Aggressive paparazzi with high-tech gear
take intrusion to whole new level

Forgery, Tax Evasion, & Immigration Bill

Discovering the perils of Amnesty...
Worse than the precedent by which forgiveness for income tax evasion and forgery will be set in our court system... The impact which illegal migration places upon LEGAL immigrants and naturalized citizens, the world over; proves that Immigration is not the answer to the World's poverty. That answer is found in improving the home Country of which they originate...
The actual US Immigration Law..
Section 1325. Improper entry by alien
Yes, this is (still) it...
Federal Immigration and Nationality Act
Section 8 USC 1324(a)(1)(A)(iv)(b)(iii)

Most illegal aliens in the U.S. obtain entry and secure their stay with the use of forged U.S. documents...This is a felony crime.
Section 1324c. Penalties for document fraud
If you forgive illegal aliens for forged documents, you must also forgive US criminals caught in identity theft crimes.

View this Video: As it states, it is not conjecture nor subjective...
Just something we all need to know...

It is unethical to expect legal citizens of a country to accept the following burdens, which impact a society due to illegal immigration:
Damage to a Nation's democratization; decline of environmental protections; and depletion of social reserves, intended for its citizens...


Remove eventual voter privilege for illegal immigrants; and hold employers liable for ‘withholdings’ on illegal alien’s prior income; and you will see the Senate's interest in granting Amnesty... disappear overnight.

In France: "Generosity is not opening the borders wide without thought for how people will integrate, how they will live, how they will subsist."
France gets tough on illegal immigration,
setting quotas for arrests, expulsions
His orders came after he and Prime Minister Francois Fillon visited a holding center for illegal immigrants Monday; and three days after the bodies of 18 illegal immigrants were fished from the Mediterranean by the crew of a French frigate.

Skepticism: Core of Scientific Evolution

VIDEO: Climate Change (before G8 Summit)
The only way that we will overcome our differences, and reduce greenhouse gasses; is by removing the fear of skepticism... After all, every scientific achievement has held Skepticism at its core.
If one must fear... Fear ignorance, not inquiry.

In US: Technical Approach; In Europe: Political/philosophical Approach...Our one true commonality, is our evolving quest for alternative energy sources...
Los Angeles, California- Oil Fields 1945!

Let’s pursue the differences between Science and philosophy because:
Level heads (not shock tactics) -Are needed in climate solution .

Ridiculed NASA Scientist regrets exercising the "science" of skepticism.
NASA chief regrets remarks on global warming
In video, Griffin says he wishes he’d
stayed out of debate on climate effects

According to an article by Mark Harper, with News Journal Online…
Scientist seeks balance on global warming,
points to 'sad history of consensus science'
James Wanliss (space physicist and teacher at Embry-Riddle) showed students the two films in an honors course titled "The Politics and Science of Fear" because he said more and more the public is being sold one side of an issue with many dimensions…
Wanliss states, “The truths of global warming are,
if not inconvenient, incomprehensible.”

In fact, according to Embry-Riddle Scientist, John Olivero (professor and chairman of the department of physical science) who (too) believes that Skepticism is an essential tool of the scientific method; says this:
"Science lives with internal conflict all the time. Part of what we have to do is continually challenge each other." That process, they say, leads scientists closer to truths that may be elusive for lifetimes. Read more
It is said that, if climate change politics favor conformity to a particular model of thinking; the burst from hypothesis will be marginalized... From Galileo, to Newton, to hawking; all evolutions in science have demanded from themselves, the essential protocol of a welcoming question...to identify the solution(s).

In fact, if we do not share this Scientific Skepticism, we will become stifled to explore what we least readily know...I believe that Scarcity is just another 'ill' to heal...And we ought not strive to maintain that.

Iran: Dying to Re-Do 6th Century BCE

We don't need another Cold War; and we surely don't need another 6th century BCE. Ahmadinejad reassures America's Arab allies that his Nuclear program is just a "Peaceful" electrical program...
And in the same breath, issues statements:
"Countdown to Israel's destruction has begun"... "Israel's disappearance imminent"... "The Jews will be forced to kneel down."
"How dare they set conditions on Nuclear Energy"
As the hate rhetoric continues; Ahmadinejad states:
"Israel is not the only nation about to collapse. Blah..Blah..Blah..
The other "corrupt" nations will also give in to the Islamic republic's strength; and suffer the same fate," says Haman Ahmadinejad...
According to the Book of Esther, in the Tanakh, Haman was an Agagite noble and vizier of the empire under Persian King Ahasuerus, generally identified by Biblical scholars as possibly being Xerxes I (Son of Darius the Great) in 6th century BCE. Haman and his wife Zeresh instigated a plot to kill all the Jews of ancient Persia. #

The plot was foiled by Queen Esther; and as a result, Haman and his ten sons were hanged. The events of the Book of Esther are celebrated as the holiday of Purim.

And there is actually someone: who wants to pursue this theme?!

Ahmadinejad said, "Palestinians are an example of a people who draw encouragement from the ways of the Iranian people. (militant armies are fun)
"The Zionist regime will be forced to bow down."
One Night with the King | Someone tell the Persian Mullahs, "It's the 21st Century!"

Putin's Struggle with Russian Liberals

The Canadian interview of Mr. Putin, and a series of Russian Liberal news release; clearly show the dynamics of a most misunderstood President... Amidst many differences, there exists much similarity here in U.S!
Mr. Putin grants an interview on his first state visit to Canada:
Vladimir Putin's secret dream
He sheds light on his desire to transform the economy, not the creation of a larger Military; and details Russia's humble and more modest ambitions.
Putin Defends Chechen War
"Putin defended the brutal war in Chechnya, calling it an action against “terrorists” and “fanatics” who threaten the civilized world. “No humanitarian rules should be applied to terrorists.” But a final settlement of the Chechnya conflict “can be reached only by legal and political means” Read more
The Cross-fire of Putin's Positions
Russian Liberal article:
Russia's Nuclear Stockpile Rusting
Western Publication:
Russian atomic stockpile at risk of 'uncontrolled chain reaction'

US : Europe furious at US climate call
Russia: Putin Crackdown Gives G-8 Concern Russia Is `Problem'

UPDATE: Another good reason to Vote Republican in U.S. 2008:
The world's only true democrat: Doesn't Live in America!

Russian liberals have sharply criticized Mr. Putin for many recent actions:

On the revival of the Soviet anthem, Mr. Putin said he respected the views of liberals who associate it with Joseph Stalin, the dictator who commissioned the song in the 1940s. “Many people still remember the full horrors of Stalin's prison camps, and their wounds are still bleeding.”

But many of Russia's greatest achievements are linked
to the Soviet period and its symbols, Mr. Putin said.

White House Press Secretary Tony Snow said, May 30, that while...
"There are some areas where we disagree, where we've had open disagreements," cooperation between the United States and Russia "is important in solving regional conflicts, stopping the spread of weapons of mass destruction, and combating terrorism and extremism."

"It remains important to have Russia in global leadership, dealing with major problems," says the American Academy's Smith. "It's just going to be very difficult." #
From Terrorist's rights to expensive Global Warming goals
Russian liberals assail Putin's plan to strengthen central government

Border Gangs Won't Vote Fred Thompson

As streets begin to look like Somalia style urban anarchy, or third world Africa...National media outlets won't touch it! As those in Washington study the impact and busily court illegal migrant's votes...
Read this study: Center for Immigration Studies
Steadily rising immigrant populations will continue to change the racial complexion of U.S. House representation in a number of California, Texas, and New York congressional districts within the next 20 years.

With the 2010 census redistricting, just a few years away, as many as six seats currently held by members of the Congressional Black Caucus could be given up to Latino candidates. #


VIDEO: Schwarzenegger Meets with:
Law Enforcement Community to Discuss Gang Violence

Initiative to Combat Gang Violence
"I am announcing a coordinated, multi-faceted, anti-gang initiative that focuses on the three strategies everyone agrees work best: suppression, intervention and prevention.”

Security at our borders has to be one of the most important factors in reducing the increase of gang populations...Rivalry exists as illegal migrants condemn the poorest African-Americans who find difficulty in trying to adjust to Latino influence in changing neighborhoods. Making ghettos into Barrios as immigrants from Mexico and Central America gravitate toward cheap housing. -USA

Read this from Heather Mac Donald at city-journal:
Hispanics were 12 percent of the state’s population and 16 percent of new prison admits; by 1998, they were 30 percent of the California population, and 42 percent of new admits. #
And an important article from FrontPageMagazine: Bill Steigerwald
"The Wall Street Journal reported that DHS (Department of Homeland Security) estimates that possibly up to 20 percent of illegals wouldn’t qualify for amnesty because of criminal backgrounds. That is a huge, huge, huge number. I’m frankly surprised it’s that high because the real crime problem happens between second and third generations. With Mexicans it goes up eight times. Gang involvement is highest in the second generation.

But welfare use is just very large -- 45 percent of households in 2005 headed by immigrants without a high school degree used at least one major welfare program. That includes all immigrants, but these days the immigrant flow is overwhelmingly Hispanic and overwhelmingly illegal and low-skilled. So there is a very high correlation between low-skilled immigrants and welfare use.

In the future, if you have Hispanics having kids out of wedlock, that’s a recipe for poverty that leads to more welfare use. So they qualify for Medicaid -- all illegals qualify for Medicaid under most states. So that’s huge. Medicaid now is breaking state budgets."

UPDATE: Excerpt of Gaddafi's 2007 Speech - #

Akhbar Libya | Osama bin Taher : At the time in which he called Colonel Muammar Gaddafi and Senegalese Africans to emigrate to Europe, symposium was organized under the auspices of the Ministry of the Interior (the General People's Committee for Public Security) and the Libyan Olympic Committee, which is chaired by Mohamed Ibn Colonel Muammar Gaddafi to fight clandestine immigration from the Libyan territory.

Colonel Gaddafi has delivered a speech in the Senegalese capital Dakar, on the sidelines of the inauguration ceremony of President Abdoulaye Wade, urging Africans to clandestine immigration, where he told them "we must force them to pay compensation."

He spoke of Colonial Europeans: "Now we protesting because we go to Europe in search of work, and they say these are illegal immigration." And then asks: "When they came from Europe, America, and Africa invaded," Is this legitimate?

"We have the right to go to Europe because we go behind our wealth, which turned to the economic power of Europe, and want to work there and now doing nothing of the wealth stolen from us. We refer to gold, diamonds, iron, copper and cobalt. They left us empty.. Miners left us with poverty, our wealth and transferred to their countries. We go behind our wealth stolen."

In conjunction with the incitements Colonel Africans to emigrate meeting was organized on, under the banner of social visitors Youth Association, on illegal immigration and its effects on youth. Visitors were selected for this symposium because large groups of clandestine immigrants from the region make a springboard for their boats towards Europe. #

"Anyone ejecting the colonialism poisons, will be crushed ... him and his ideas."
