Travels of Ayahuasca and Beyond

Not my cup of tea here, folks... (If you'll forgive the expression) haha... But it does make for an very unusual (and unusually frightening) Halloween story!
Just look at the Halloween eyes... & terrifying display of altered states.
Although it appears to be upsetting (to me)... On an intellectual and much more spiritual aspect; a curious trip to the Jungles in the Peruvian Amazon, is said to have brought forth a personal journey; for those who have sought cleansing and transformation...

I definitely recommend the interesting segment...(below) which details the subject's visits to the Shaman; said to be in the Waters where Indian ancestors came to Earth... A truly excellent film ...


Note: I am least drawn to the ayahuasca phenomenon, as I feel that my being is pulled up by the cosmos... Many who ARE drawn to this cleansing experience, appear to hold a "root-bound" existence. For the later; their lives are a time of healing.
-Have a Very Happy Halloween! -MB xoxox

Update: U.S. Navy Saved -N. Korean Vessel

A little Correction to an earlier post:
N. Korean Crew Overpowers Pirates

Evidently (for the record) I am proud to say that it was the Men of the red, white, and blue: The US Navy who 'responded to' and thwarted the earlier N. Korean Pirate Hijack...

As predicted, Somalian real-life pirates are wrecking havoc on international shipping lanes off the horn of Africa...
Good going U.S. Navy! Story here:
A dangerous situation, but (heh) there's still a chance that groups will come forward to represent "Militant Pirate's Rights." :|
Looks like its going to take some serious spine to travel by water...

Humanitarian Crisis Gone Terribly Wrong

Sixteen Charged with Child Abduction...#
I hope I am wrong, but from the video, it appears to be clear that they've been told of the punishment for this crime in Chad... The charity insists it was trying in good faith to take endangered children abroad for medical treatment. I recognize several of the French and Spanish humanitarians (below) in 'repeat Darfur missions'; and they appear to be (somehow) consigned with this firm.
Now, a mission of dreadful misunderstanding...
SMEARED! This is all about reducing Foreign Peace Missions in the Region!

Europeans face mob anger over child 'abductions' in Chad
The charity behind the flight protested its innocence, saying it believed the children were orphans whose lives were at risk from civil war in Sudan's Darfur province... However, staff from the UN children's agency Unicef say many of the children, now being kept in an orphanage in Abeche, cry at night for their parents and say they are from villages in Chad.

It now looks likely the prisoners currently being held in Abeche will be transferred to jail, though whether they will be moved to the capital N'Djamena is unclear, reports the BBC's Stephanie Hancock.

Another European - a Belgian pilot - is in detention in N'Djamena, but is not reported to be facing charges at present.
The article says, "Our correspondent says it could be some time before those charged appear in court to enter a plea." Another by Jack Lang, a former Socialist minister: "I know some of these people who are working in Darfur, and they are very generous people, and probably they have made several mistakes - it's not easy to understand."
"And the French government in the first time was not against this operation, it was a humanitarian operation.
Perhaps, Chad was trying to exploit the situation for political purposes."
Spain's foreign ministry said it "disagreed" with the charges against its citizens. "Everything seems to indicate there is no conclusive evidence against the Spaniards," Bernardino Leon, a senior ministry official, told Spanish radio.

"Until this evidence is presented, the government will continue to maintain that they are innocent and continue to demand their release."
Compte tenu de cette situation unique qui aurait pu être vous ou je aider les enfants menacés de guerre au Darfour! :|

Sarlozy said, "We are going to try to find an arrangement to ensure that in this case no one loses face, and find out the exact truth about why they went to pick up these children and what for."

NOTE: The nine French detainees stand to face charges of attempted child abduction and fraud, the prosecutor's office said. The seven Spaniards will be charged with being accomplices to the crime, as will the two unidentified Chadian nationals.

N. Korean Crew Overpowers Pirates

A Little Correction:
Looks like it was the red, white, and blue who saved the day…
Video can be seen here:
Update: U.S. Navy Saved -N. Korean Vessel

Not only have conditions in African Countries become more dangerous and often impossible for the delivery of aid... Poorly policed waters of Somalia and Nigeria have led to a 14% increase of piracy this year. Now they've taken to hijack the North Koreans!
Today, N. Koreans over-power 8 gunmen on a return to Mogadishu.
KYOTO: Simulated N. Korean Vessel
North Korea vessel crew overpower pirates, take control
From 'Edward Harrris' Report:
Two dozen crew members of the North Korea-flagged vessel were able to fight off the eight gunmen who had seized the vessel late Monday, and the crew was piloting the ship back to the war-battered city's port in Mogadishu, said Andrew Mwangura, program coordinator of the Seafarers Assistance Program, which independently monitors piracy in the region.

Reported attacks in Somalia rose rapidly to 26, up from eight a year earlier, the London-based International Maritime Bureau said through its piracy reporting center in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. And some of those hijackings have turned deadly.

Pirates even targeted vessels on humanitarian missions, such as the MV Rozen which was hijacked in February soon after it had delivered food aid to northeastern Somalia. The ship and its crew were released in April. France has offered naval vessels to escort ships carrying World Food Program food to Mogadishu beginning in November.

The IMB said Southeast Asia's Malacca Strait, one of the world's busiest waterways, has been relatively quiet with 198 attacks on ships reported between January and September, up from 174 in the same period in 2006.

It said 15 vessels were hijacked, 63 crew members kidnapped and three killed.

Oil-rich Nigeria suffered 26 pirate attacks so far this year, up from nine in the same period last year. Read more.

- Better hope they don’t hijack this one!

Iraqi Security Meets Gruesome Handover

"In Iraq right now, as have been for a while, the greatest two threats are al-Qaeda and the Shia militias that do fight Iran's proxy war."
-Iraq resident: Omar

The Iranian regime's offer to build a large power plant essentially free of charge in an area between the two southern Shiite holy cities of Karbala and Najaf... Why are Iraqis the last to know that the Iranian Government refers to al-maliki and his cabinet as: "The Iraqi Puppet Government."
"Too "YOUNG" to realize that Nothing 'Free' is really Free."

Today: 20 headless corpses found as Iraq province handed over
At least 20 decapited corpses were found and a suicide bomber killed 28 policemen northeast of Baghdad on Monday, as the US military transferred the security control of Karbala to Iraqi forces.
"Allow me to say that we are late, very late, to reconstruct, to rebuild our forces for reasons that I do not want to mention here," said Maliki who is under pressure from Washington to speed up the process." read more
The Iranian Rocket-fire delay in rebuilding Iraqi forces has hampered US plans to withdraw its forces from the country.
"We demand that the military and police leadership make more efforts to reconstruct and rebuild the security forces in order to take over control of the rest of the provinces," Maliki said.
So, it appears that the Young Government of Iraq is supposed to need the Military Security assistance of the Iranian Mullahs... But the truth is:
The Iraqi Government is "not-needed" by the Iranian Regime.

The Death Star- Force of Nature

Out in deepest space lurks a force of almost unimaginable power... Explosions of extraordinary violence are blasting through the Universe every day... View an extraordinary film which highlights a startling discovery, using “E=MC2” to determine how large these explosions could be... and the process of redshift to interpret them...(more here)

And so, the investigation of the source of the burst of Gamma-Rays; and the journey that would one day lead Science back into the cosmic Dark Age… Had begun...Very interesting film:

For years no one could work out what was causing these awesome explosions. Now scientists think they have identified the culprit. It's the most extreme object ever found in the Universe...

They have christened it a 'hypernova!'

And, if you dare, here's part 2 ; which promises to shatter “E=MC2”...

UK weak on Terrorism - Says Saudi King

In the States we've not heard much from King Abdullah. So, it was good to find this Video... Evidently, he spoke with BBC's John Simpson about the fight against terrorism by the UK and Saudi Arabia...And gave a chilling assessment of the length of time he felt that would see the fight against al-Qaeda...
Don't suppose he'll be wanting to come to see Bush.

King Abdullah was speaking in a BBC interview (ahead of a state visit to the UK) as the first by a Saudi monarch in 20 years... He told the interviewer that the fight against terrorism needed much more effort by countries such as Britain; and that al-Qaeda continued to be a big problem for his country...
-Read more: Here

Before I forget... I spoke with Dr. "H" (archeologist/remote-viewer/ Scientist) yesterday, from Alexandria... He connects the most recent Bin Laden tape (calling for unity jihad against foreign presence in Sudan/Darfur) as having been sent by Militant fractions seated within a strain of those Rebels who currently boycott the Peace Conference...

NOTE: From an earlier assessment...Dr. "H" had studied Laden's "signature" only to find that it is no longer on the Earth grid... The mileage of "the Lie" is said to aid in recruitments, and the ability to garner a sense of unity... But, without, it is certain that these small groups would simply be seen as assorted (yet dangerous) thugs...
-True, however, that they have taken on a 'whole new life' of their own.

Actually, while King Abdullah was in the UK...
10 tribal sheiks kidnapped in Baghdad
The 10 were both Sunni and Shiite tribal sheiks...

-Secretary of Defense Robert Gates speaking at the European Conference.

Darfur: Rebel's Boycott Halts Resolution

As the boycott against Peaceful Resolution, continues...
Today, neither military intervention nor Peacekeeping has succeeded in ending this 21st century genocide... But I have no doubt that the efforts have minimized it. Despite the Call for attendance by the main rebel groups who have boycott this conference; the World for a Peaceful Darfur is on hold.

This will explain the heart of the conflict...
But contains a HUGE inaccuracy, as this correspondent claims that International interventions have done little to help...(more below)

FACT: The United States is the largest international donor in Sudan, consistently providing 80 percent of all humanitarian assistance-and more than $1 billion since 2005. Additionally, the United States leads in peacekeepers and International aid delivery to Darfur.
Despite the disappointment of Regimes; the US does this the WORLD over.

FACT: USAID provides an integrated program of aid to war-affected communities-assisting displaced people, providing basic services and food, and improving food security through agriculture and economic development.
Source: USAID

I might add, many troops, civilian Peace keepers, and charity organizations, have given their lives toward a common goal which seeks to protect these people.
In 2005, my former hairdresser (Christian mission) was of those killed.

Total Displaced since 2005: 6,100,000
From Southern Sudan: 4 million
In Darfur: 1.8 million

Canadians: Keeping Afghanistan Free

I lend a quote to the Brave Canadians (below) who lifted the ambush, by Militants in the area of "Northern Kandahar, Afghanistan:
"Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must,
like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it."
-Thomas Paine: The American Crisis, No. 4, 1777


And check today's Int'l attempts toward Peace in Darfur!
Suggesting that the plethora of would-be peacemakers and U.N. envoy, the African Union envoy, the U.S. envoy, the Eritrean government, the Egyptian government and now Libya; all with different ideas on how to resolve this crisis... Have created the problem in Darfur!
Darfur Rebels Balk At Talks in Libya
"Abdel Wahed Mohamed el Nour, leader of the Liberation Army Soudan-Unité (ALS-Unité), (as the JEM) has decided not to participate in the peace conference due to start Saturday in Libya. Read more
Int'l Intervention with Peacekeepers, is the Problem?!
On the ground in Darfur, meanwhile, the conflict is becoming more complex by the day. The Sudanese government and its allied militias have continued to attack civilians and rebels. Rebels are fighting each other. Recently, one rebel faction attacked a camp of African Union peacekeepers, killing 10 soldiers.
To make things worse... The Janjaweed militias are fighting among themselves.

Earth Move From Duality to Singularity

My evacuee guests and I will be leaving for a couple of days... The raging wall of fire just above the ridge has been quelled; and as it appears, new priorities for the future have been set by all... At one time, we had so many differences; but now (as fire-friends) we unite under one commonality.
Look for your light, & resist the illusion of division.

For many, who remain connected into a higher understanding of Earth and consciousness; ONE can see an obvious view of Earth as it appears to be branching off into two distinct pairs of opposites...(As is indicated in the innumerous global-points of crisis) We are seeing Earth consciousness as it becomes fully engaged in DUELS (duality). Respectfully, these represent a part of the grids-break down and less of a beginning point of argument.

-More at very bottom of post (and when I return)
A little music and news below...
In the News...

Today: Fairly excellent US Economical News:
There's too much angst in the news! But we are in all (in fact) ONE Global economy... With the survival of the poorest countries, in the hands of the Global structure/survival.
Wall Street stocks bounce back
US stock markets have rebounded strongly after last week's heavy losses, which were echoed in equity markets around the world. Wall Street closed higher, after the worst week in four years, caused by panic over the impact of higher interest rates on the economy. European shares remained jittery, with the London market closing down, and analysts expect that markets will remain volatile in the short term.

Recovery on track says HSBC chief
HSBC investors breathed a sigh of relief yesterday when the banking giant announced that it would not need to make further provisions to cover its exposure to the US sub-prime mortgage market. Despite reporting a 63 per cent rise in bad debt provisions in the first half of the year, chief executive Mike Geoghegan said the bank's "two-to-three-year" recovery programme was running "ahead of expectation".

"Slide Fire" Fighters Halt Spread of Fire

I am humbled by the brave Firefighters who (for the 2nd time this year) potentially saved us from another direct loss! This time, they quickly extinguished fires which were making their way over the mountain-range in Arrowhead... See, I told you yesterday that they would save us! :)

Adam Housley reports: Wednesday in Arrowhead
"We can see the lights of the inland empire. The twinkle of lights and grid-like necklace of yellow should always be clear from this vantage point, but at this early in the morning, 1:30 a.m., it’s the first time there’s been no smoke cover since we’ve arrived...
Up the hill, there’s more good news. We stop at a fire station, where some crews are sacked out in sleeping bags on the front lawn, finally getting some much needed sleep. Here we talk with a forest ranger assigned to this area of national forest...(the most populated in the country)
Read more below...
Arrowhead fire: Some were less fortunate, but
Arnold Schwarzenegger reduced the magnitude of these fires!
(Cont.)
...He tells me there are no containment numbers on the so-called ‘Slide Fire’, but he is very confident this morning. Two fires burning up here are both being knocked down with incredible fervor. The Santa Ana winds have been gone now for two days, and that has allowed for a strong aerial attack and great work by firefighters on the ground." read more
More arson is contained- View blaze near Camp Pendleton A direct threat to the main north-south power corridor (San Diego with all of California) -Adverted!...
ARSONISTS AGAINST THE MEN WHO SEEK RESOLVE?! -War on homefront?

And check this out! As the EPA laws prohibiting controlled brush burning, actually resulted in tinder-box conditions; they issue a statement which (instead of condemning known ARSONISTS)...They try to turn this all around:
Don't Let Bush Burn California #
"While Bush is attempting to score compassion points with the people of California, let's tell him not to burn Californians by blocking their duly enacted laws. The EPA must allow the state's Pavley, or "Clean Cars" fuel emission standards to go forward."
Something tells me the EPA should complain to the ARSONISTS who have violated their brush burning prohibition! This is such a familiar theme in the World today; and NOT HELPFUL, as many try to pick up the pieces of their lives...

Wildfire: Malibu Animal Sanctuary

California residents with horses and other animals within range of this fire, and in an evacuated area; are advised to act now by bringing them into this shelter… and not to wait for this to become evident.

Subconsciously I must have been worried about this, as I actually dreamt of a 'variation' of this last night! There was a huge arc high above the canyon (much like this shelter)... Every animal imaginable came from miles around...
As if by instinct, they began to board! -Watch the horses in this clip...

Veterinarians around the Country have volunteered their time to care for these animals. Quick note, if you have horses, presently with a synthetic harness, you are advised to replace this harness with natural fiber. The synthetic can actually melt in the heat, and might harm the horse...

Meanwhile my (evacuee) friends and I remain well at the "Barbay Safe harbor." :) Yesterday, our Governor traveled over Arrowhead in a National Guard Chopper (below) to gain a clearer perspective of the magnitude and spread of this fire.
(Oh, incidentally, we're just on the other side of that range!)
Fire walls of 100 ft and winds of 60mph won't stop him from saving us! :|

(More later)

P.S: As the Congress is desperate to put ANY law into effect... Democrat and Republican friends here at my home are encouraging them to CHILL OUT! We don't know how this historical fire will impact the State! Nobody is on the same page as this Congress, at all!

The Fire-Fight Has Been Upgraded...

More hell-fires today...Matt is keeping us updated as my guest-list has now grown to three... Fortunate that I am chosen to be the one, as you'll see more (below)... Many are completely left disoriented, and yet we know that we live in chaparral climate, where annual fires and re-growth are part of the ecosystem. If anything, human presence in these regions actually slows burn-and-regrowth conditions...

For now, will post when possible.. Always keep a positive thought. xoxo


-Image-Below, From an earlier fire at Father's Forest. #
I can never forget how fortunate I was, after our own brush with fire earlier this year... Fire crews slashed a deep channel forcing the fire away, sparing us! Today, they are trying to force portions the (So. Cal.) fires into the ocean...
-WILDFIRE THAT MISSED US!
This is the only picture (on card) that came out!!
More later... It has been a nightmare!
But now, the fires which have threatened Father's Forest, have weakened and changed course. We should be safe now thanks to the groups of firefighters (from around the country) who dug trenches along the River to our property; and thwarted the need to evacuate our family! # A very close call
Experience teaches that here is always someone less fortunate than oneself.

Ali Abunimah: One Country (One State)

“Denying victory to one another; so that neither will fail.”
This is what Militants have brought to six generations."

-A focus in Ali Abunimah's Book:
One Country: A Bold Proposal to End the Israeli-Palestinian Impasse
One-state solution "gaining ground" UN envoy admits

His glimpse into the History of the South African Apartheid era; examines the parallels with this lengthy and tragic conflict...But we have hope because time and time again; history has proved that "Equal Rights" instead of militant violence; became the foundation of a just settlement.
Expunge Militancy- Replace this scene with "Equal Rights!"

Perhaps a "Two States" solution might continue to find this little country held together by three sets of fully militarized artillery! ONE State will require patience, but few will fail who embrace Universally Accepted Human Rights... This country needs Peace-Keepers instead of Militants!

Ali Abunimah, co-founder and editor of the Electronic Intifada, graduate of Princeton, and author... Of whose parents fled the country in 1948, makes the radical argument that what is needed is one state shared by Palestinians...
-Listen to Ali Abunimah's Audio...
This From author (Ali Abunimah's Biography)
"Israelis and Palestinians are by now so intertwined geographically and economically that no kind of separation can lead to the security Israelis need or the rights Palestinians must have.

He reveals the bankruptcy of the two-state approach, takes on the objections and taboos that stand in the way of a binational solution, demonstrates that sharing the territory will bring benefits for all, and asserts that the country can remain a homeland for both Jews and Palestinians.

The absence of any other workable option can only lead to ever-greater extremism; it is time, Abunimah suggests, for Palestinians and Israelis to imagine a different future and a different relationship." Read more

Intermix of Bright-Star Population (Etc.)

Nothing can be more profound and relevant to the unraveling of our existence, than the continuing NASA Hubble images (such as the one below)... Revealed, are the faint star 'inter-mix' with the bright-star populations; as a changing gravitational influence of 'old' triggers new...Pictured here are the 'older and farther away' red giant branch stars...

Not a conspiracy theorist; Dr. "H" remarks of the Ancient Astronaut's fate, and their spiraling descent to the historical dust-bin of primitive (1947) Earth... "Forever changing mankind."

He views a future by which man will significantly transcend his reliance upon 'Earth to sustain his being'... Today's dictatorial regimes threaten the survival of Nations through the use of OIL; and are (in fact) pumping Earth's oil so low, that it further degrades Earth's ability to adapt to the changing universe...
Dr. "H" believes that the U.S. will impact the future, and the poor who live amongst it; by replacing OIL dependence, with new innovations... SOON.

Revolutionaries Defined by Similarities?

Caught in a torrid twist of maligned historical detail... Certain Student groups of Tehran might (instead) have chosen to do their homework; as they professed mutual alliance with the "religious inspired commonality" of Che Guevara...

Touting the parallels of Iran’s Islamist revolution, with the socialist revolution in Latin America (having fought side-by-side) ...The Iranian students won no heart and minds of the son & daughter of Argentine revolutionary Ernesto Che Guevara!
According to the following article, Che was a devout atheist, amidst belief in socialism (considered a crime in the Islamic state) & punishable by death!
POLITICS-IRAN: Islamist, Socialist Revolutions Don't Mix

As it were, the student organized 'Che Like Chamran' conference was aborted as Latin American guests were whisked away... And any similarities of Revolutionary alliance ended there...
(no matter what organizers intended to promote.) #

Aleida Guevara, daughter of Che, was said to have protested from the podium against perceived distortions of her father’s ideology by Iranian speaker, Haj Saeed Ghasemi (on the 4-day conference; started on 9/25 )
"My father never talked about God. He never met God. My father knew there was no absolute truth,’’ Aleida said, responding to Ghasemi’s speech." read more

But as with most interviews of Iran; the coverage of her address by a state-sponsored news agency; was brief and excluded most of her contradictory remarks.
A leftist student activist said:
"Ahmadinejad’s slogans against the West and the U.S., his pro-justice rap, and his promises of economic assistance bring them here -- much to our disappointment...
"Daniel Ortega and other leftist leaders too must
clarify their position about their relations with Iran."

"We feel greatly betrayed when for their countries’ economic benefit they choose to support extreme rightists, fascists like Ahmadinejad," she added.

I'll clarify the position concerning relations with Iran, for you...
A little sample (below) of the fruits of Iran's intervention; presently in one of three other countries, as they fight for primacy. That ought to give you the proposed direction!

NOTE: Chamran, a United States-educated engineer and Islamist, helped Mousa Sadr found the Amal Movement in southern Lebanon and fought alongside Amal guerrillas in the late 1970s. Appointed the young Islamic Republic’s defense minister by Ayatollah Khomeini, Chamran organized and led paramilitary forces during the early phase of the Iran-Iraq war (1980-1988) and was killed in battle in the Khuzistan province in 1981.

Structure of Peace | A 3000 Yr. Old Site

Sadly, this issue continues to draw the attention of the entire WORLD; and has cost tens of thousands of lives! It needs to end peacefully ...NOW!
UPDATE: New Thoughts - amidst shared sites...
They've shared the Media, sorrow, and deaths; they'll have to share the Mount!
Click for Wish of Peace-Here
السلام Peace שלום

The most Sacred structure is the act of generosity and good will... Time passes, and buildings are not forever...And the only structure which is forever lasting is man's ability (or) inability to share in Peace.

The structure integrates Jewish, Muslim, Armenian, and Christian...# Too bad the Buddhists weren't here pre-Israel; they'd have all known this...

I applaud Secretary Rice for her:
Push of Palestinians and Israelis toward middle

The Deposed and Exiled thugs demand boycott of Israeli-Palestinian Peace conference in Annapolis, Maryland…

On the one hand, claims of the Muslim al-aqsa mosque as the third holiest (behind Mecca and Medina) built 1400 years ago on top of the 3000 year old site of the First and Second Jewish Temples...
And on the other hand, the Temple Mount is the holiest place in Judaism with legitimate Jewish religion as its historical connection preceding Muslim attachments by 1500 years...
Significant to both: Do the impossible... SHARE...

My friend in Greece, Archeologist Dr. H (not shown) remains completely neutral to the politics of either side...Yet can confirm the legitimacy of the access ramp restoration; which would have easily been confirmed as an urgent project...
السلام Peace שלום

Partisan Politics of Left | Now a Vacuum

Many wonder why the Liberal Media's "selective edits" of the Gen. Sanchez war assessment, 'marketed and circulated' to every continent of the World; yet they omitted his KEY essential disappointment:
THEIR CURRENT UNFAIR AND UNETHINCAL MEDIA REPORTING
READ WHAT THEY CUT OUT OF THE REPORT HERE!

Is it unfair reporting as they deliberately over-sight progress here or here Or is that their way of silently discrediting our troops.

But as Democrat Congress brings forward century old genocide against Turkey; will the timing (during war) destabilize a secure region, to pick up US-left votes? Knowing when or when not to spin, is their only concern...

Whether it was Fauxtography or Numerous False Documents; printing false incidents, and failing to retract them, has done much to hinder the safety of millions; hurt my country; and prolong this war!

But I worry about how this impacts the many that need support throughout the World... As the U.N. hands down a "watered down" condemnation of the Burma junta! Grave Warning to the Junta is Now Needed -Article

The Human-Rights Vacuum!
Read Samamtha Power's Full Article

Darfur and Burma stir no response because the
U.S. is discredited while China's power grows

Rebel troops stampeded an african Union base in Darfur, Sudan, last month, murdering 10 African peacekeepers. That same week in Burma, the military regime killed a Japanese photographer and turned its machine guns on unarmed, barefoot monks. The violence in Darfur and Burma met with widespread international condemnation but scant concrete action. The perpetrators will almost certainly get away with murder.

What is going on? Even in an era of connectedness, when such outrages are beamed into living rooms around the globe, the world's major powers can't seem to agree on what should be done or who should do it. While many foreign critics of the U.S. express relief at the erosion of American influence, events in Burma and Darfur show the downside of the U.S.'s diminished standing: a void in global human-rights leadership.

The U.S. has raised its voice on Darfur and Burma louder than any other country. George W. Bush has regularly denounced the Sudanese campaign of destruction as "genocide," Washington has spent $2.5 billion on humanitarian aid to keep Darfur's refugees alive, and the Administration has spearheaded creation of a 26,000-person, U.N.-led peacekeeping force.

When the Burmese regime cracked down on protesters, it was Bush who used his appearance before the U.N. General Assembly to announce that the U.S. would freeze the assets of Burma's repressive leaders and deny them visas. Yet when he urged "every civilized nation" to use its diplomatic and economic leverage to "stand up" to the regime, his appeal was largely ignored. Many countries acted as if they agreed with Burma's self-serving claim that the crackdown was simply an "internal matter." Notwithstanding the U.S.'s $500 billion military budget and $13 trillion GDP, its summoning power has dwindled.

The inaction is partly backlash against the discredited American messenger. Torture, "black sites," extraordinary rendition and the bungled, bloody invasion and occupation of Iraq have all made U.S. human-rights appeals ring hollow. But many countries that point to America's abuses are doing so to cover their self-interested, economic reasons for overlooking atrocities in Darfur and Burma.
READ THE REST No, its not flattering. But the point is, the U.S. is standing alongside these people; giving billions of dollars, and the rest of the World might just as easily let these people DIE!!

According to: freesuukyi.org:
Some see potential progress in the move by the UNSC because China has signed on to the pact. But in reality the move is non-binding and leaves no lasting threat to China's economic interest in Burma.
"The Security Council calls on the government of Myanmar to take all necessary measures to address the political, economic, humanitarian and human rights issues that are the concern of its people and emphasizes that the future of Burma lies in the hands of all its people." Read latest News

Were Nations Better-off in the Golden Age?

A stunning performance in an era of 16th century England...
And as we observe Nations who have become independent of British Rule today... I believe that England's Upper-hand actually held many of the regions of Earth's violence in a holding pattern... Might a select group of Independent Nations today, have suffered less carnage; had British held control today?
Undoubtedly for a few, most certainly...

Elizabeth the Golden Age: View movie website
Film Critique: Blanchett shines in 'Elizabeth: The Golden Age'

And although this pattern of 'controlled violence' was attributed to the strong Leadership of Queen Elizabeth....Today, there is a HUGE misconception that a female leader will not usher in peace and tranquility...

Yes, it is true that females throughout the centuries have used some of the most forceful tactics, when sufficiently scorned... But they didn't dance around the issues... Their words were (and still are) Golden...

Two Bolivias: Variations on a Theme

The rise of indigenous, and search for political identity is a continuing World-Wide theme in ALL corners of the globe. These divisions are but parallels to the shifting balance of polar-cap regions.
-It's all about Earth-shift...View an incredible finding by Gateway Pundit
Antarctica Ice Cap Growth Reaches Record High Levels -PHOTOS!

Today, continuing political divisions manifest between White Elites & Indigenous Bolivians...
An opening in the shift of Earth, seeks a world-wide rise
Personal Note:
-As I examine today's Tate Sculpture exhibit; I see a continuing reflection of "INNER TURMOIL" which confuses western efforts to balance and resolve a problem, with the responsibility of having created it...
-Also a popularly held theme played out on the world stage...

Bolivian coca farmer and senator, Leonida says, "The business elite hate us. They say we aren't capable of government."
"Bolivia's white elite claim they're tired of propping up the nation's economy." They're demanding political autonomy for their city and say they're ready to fight for it... The wealthy residents of Santa Cruz claim their region generates half of Bolivia's wealth.
They feel under attack by the new government. In a referendum last year, Santa Cruz voted for political autonomy.
Un documentaire de Rodrigo Vazquez; 10-15-07
"Autonomy is very important because it permits you to manage your own resources", explains businessman Ricardo Bilbao. Leader Sergio Anhelo alleges; "People are ready to confront the Bolivian state military", if autonomy isn't granted.
...Evo Morales has threatened to send in the army if national unity is jeopardised. -journeymanpictures
