52 ways to tread lightly on the Earth



1. Eat more fruits, vegetables, and grains. It takes 7,500,000 gallons of water to produce one ton of beef, compared to only 250,000 to produce one ton of corn! Plus, cattle ranching contributes to deforestation. Eating more fruits, vegetables and grains is better for you as well as the environment-even lions don't at red meat three times a day!

2. Use less. Use less electricity, gasoline, food, water. The average U.S. citizen consumes 100 times as much of the world's resources as the average person in the world's poorest countries.

3. Reuse things. Every five years, the average American produces a mound of waste equal to the mass of the Statue of Liberty! Wear things out before discarding them, and if you have an item you don't need anymore, don't throw it away--give it to someone who does need it.

4. Recycle what can't be reused. Even if it's too much trouble to recycle your batteries and food scraps, it's easy to recycle newspaper, glass, and aluminum cans. Recycling some of your waste is much better than recycling none. More than a ton of waste per person living in the U.S. is generated every year!

5. Buy recycled products. It is far more efficient to make new items out of recycled material than new material. For example, it takes only 1/20 as much energy to create a new aluminum can out of recycled aluminum as it does to produce one from newly extracted ore, and it takes 60% less energy to make new paper from recycled paper than it does to manufacture paper from a newly cut tree. But if we don't buy recycled products, manufacturers will have no incentive to make them.

6. Walk, skate, or bike wherever you can. Avoid using your car for short trips. When you do drive, don't circle the parking lot looking for a closer space. Park in the first available space and walk. It's healthier for you as well as the environment!

7. Carry canvas bags in your car to use at the store. Recycling paper or plastic bags is great, but it's even better to carry reusable bags of your own. And if you purchase just one item at a store and don't need a bag to carry the item out, say so. It's okay to just say no to a bag!

8. Use less water. Although there seems to be a lot of water on Earth, over 97% of it is in the oceans. Of the total fresh water, over 70% is in ice, mostly the polar ice caps. The fresh water on the continents makes up less than 1% of the Earth's total water. While a human being requires about a gallon of water a day to survive, about 1,800 gallons of water are consumed per day for each person in the U.S.!

9. Plant things. Grow trees, plants and flowers in your yard if you have one or in pots in your home if you don't. Plants fight the greenhouse effect by removing carbon dioxide from the air.

10. Be nice to people. people who are treated nicely might treat others (spouses, children, pets, wildlife) more nicely.

11. Respect wildlife. They are willing to share the earth with us, so we need to be willing to share it with them. It is estimated that human activities drive two to eight wildlife species to extinction every hour.

12. Use cloth napkins instead of paper ones.

13. Car pool or take public transportation. The burning of gasoline by automobiles is far and away the largest producer of carbon monoxide in the atmosphere. Carbon monoxide replaces oxygen in the blood's hemoglobin in animals (including humans), reducing the ability of blood to carry oxygen to the brain and the rest of the body. If 1% of U.S. car owners didn't use their cars one day a week, 42 million gallons less gas would be burnt!

14. If you carry a lunch, invest in canvas bags and plastic containers. Stop throwing away paper lunch bags and plastic wrap.

15. Cut down on your use of disposable anythings. Just about anything "disposable" is harmful to the environment. Use razors with replacement blades instead of disposable razors and a diaper service instead of disposable diapers. Even if you can cut back your use of disposables to special occasions such as when you are traveling, it will help.

16. Stay off fragile ecosystems. If you visit the dunes, don't walk on them, where you can trample the precious plants that keep the dunes from blowing away. If you are in a park and the sign says "Stay on path," stay on the path!

17. Compost food scraps. Food that goes into landfills can be preserved for decades! Composting helps return needed nutrients to our soil. Compostable items make up 70% of the garbage Americans create.

18. Cut six-pack rings apart before throwing them away. They make their way into our oceans, where seabirds and other marine life get stuck in them and drown, suffocate, or starve to death.

19. Support groups that seek environmental justice. Give them your time, money, and moral support.

20. Drive slower. As your speed increases, so does wind resistance, causing you to use more gas.

21. Lower your standard of living. Do you really need another TV, VCR, or whatever? It takes energy and resources to make all of those things. Per capita consumption of energy resources is higher in the U.S. than anywhere else in the world. Fewer than 6% of the Earth's people live in the U.S., and yet we consume 25% of the oil produced each year in the world, 30% of the aluminum, 30% of the silver, 40% of the lead, 40% of the platinum, and on and on.

22. Don't use hot water when cold water will do. And keep a pitcher of water in the refrigerator so you don't have to run the tap to get the water cold.

23. Don't top off your gas tank. The new nozzles on gas tanks are designed to decrease spilled gasoline, which evaporates and pollutes the atmosphere. Let the nozzles do their job.

24. Repair that leaky toilet or faucet. Two gallons of water an hour can be lost from a leaky faucet, and a leaky toilet can waste 45,000 gallons in just six months! Repairing leaks will save substantially on your water bill as well.

25. Buy a fuel-efficient car and appliances. Less energy used means less carbon dioxide going into the atmosphere. In the past century, the amount of carbon dioxide in the air has increased by an estimated 25%. Carbon dioxide traps the sun's heat in the Earth's atmosphere, possibly raising the Earth's temperature. In some parts of the world, a temperature increase of only a few degrees could make farming virtually impossible.

26. Plant an acorn and be patient. Oaks take a long time to grow big and strong, so many homeowners choose faster growing, less hardy, shorter-lived trees and shrubs. If you have a treeless area in your yard, invest in an oak. Your children and grandchildren will appreciate it.

27. Drive a light-colored car. A light-colored car will stay cooler in the summer and will need less air conditioning.

28. Don't support companies that pollute or engage in environmentally damaging practices. About 99% of environmental spending in the U.S. goes toward pollution cleanup and only 1% to pollution prevention.

29. Don't buy exotic pets. The pet trade is a major contributing factor to the endangerment of wildlife species.

30. Don't put chemicals on your lawn. Fertilizer helps turn fresh water into slimy streams and ponds filled with algae, and pesticides contain poisons that are toxic and persistent. Lawn-owners use 10 times more toxic chemicals per acre than farmers!

31. Stop energy leaks in your home. Install storm windows, hang heavy curtains to keep the heat out or in, and stop leaks around windows and doors with draft stoppers, caulking, and weather-stripping.

32. Put on or take off more clothes. In the winter, wear more clothing and use less energy to heat, and in the summer wear less clothing (within reason!) and use less energy to cool.

33. Don't drive all-terrain vehicles. They destroy vegetation, leaving land open to erosion.

34. Don't pollute. Don't dump toxins down the drain or onto the ground. Don't believe in "out of sight, out of mind." Everything has to go somewhere!

35. Compost leaves and grass clippings. Yard waste makes up 13% of our landfills! Even better, plant your yard with natural species that need no chemicals, watering, or mowing.

36. Wash full loads of clothing and dishes. The same goes with drying clothes, but air dry whenever possible. Also clean out the lint–lint in the dryer filter makes the dryer consume more energy.

37. Travel light. Extra weight in your car makes it less fuel efficient.

38. Let your elected officials know that the environment matters to you. Tell them that you want clean air, clean water, national parks, and wildlife and habitat protection.

39. Cut down on junk mail. Ask to be removed from mailing lists. What you do get, recycle. Landfills are made up of 50% paper!

40. Buy products with less packaging.

41. A borrower and a lender be. If you need something you won't use often or ever again, borrow it from a neighbor, and lend that same neighbor something of yours. Consider sharing the purchase of a snow blower or other items.

42. Use ceiling fans instead of air conditioning to cool your home whenever possible.

43. Grow a garden and support local food-growers. Transporting food takes energy, and locally grown food is likely to be fresher. Be willing to pay more money for food grown in an environmentally friendly way. U.S. cropland loses an estimated 4.8 tons of topsoil per acre per year. Although there are ways to decrease soil loss, they do cost the farmers money.

44. Turn off the lights and use timers. Rather than leave a light on while you are at work or on vacation, use timers so they come on only when it is dark.

45. Don't buy products that contribute to habitat and species loss. Don't buy ivory products, big cat pelts, or furniture made from South American hardwood. Over half of the world's species live in the 2% of the world that is rain forest, and the Amazonian rainforests alone produce 40% of the world's oxygen.

46. Don't build or buy on a flood plain. There is a reason floodplains are called floodplains–they flood. Floodplains are needed to handle excess water. The more ground that is covered by a substance that won't allow the water to soak into the ground, the worse flooding will be. Hundreds of millions of dollars are spent building and rebuilding homes in places where they are bound to be flooded regularly.

47. Go solar. Buy products that run on solar energy such as solar watches and calculators. The sun's energy is inexhaustible (at least for as long as there is life on Earth) and pollution-free, and the amount reaching the Earth far exceeds the world's energy needs. Research into harnessing solar energy needs to be encouraged through purchase of solar-run articles.

48. Be an eco-tourist. Visit wildlife preserves. Help make habitat preservation profitable for the preservers. Most parks that charge no fee have a box for donations–contribute generously.

49. Put gasoline containing ethanol in your car. "Gasahol" is cleaner burning than gasoline, and car manufacturers need to be encouraged to find new energy sources for cars. Worldwide, an estimated 400 billion barrels of oil have been consumed throughout history, and an estimated 900 billion barrels remain. However, more than half of the consumption has occurred in the last two decades!

50. Waste less food. If you go to a buffet-style meal, take only as much as you will eat. A human being requires about 2,000 kilocalories a day to survive. In the U.S., about 224,000 kilocalories per day are consumed per person, and about 10,000 of those go into food production and consumption (agriculture, food processing, and preservation).

51. Resist advertising. An average of $48 is spent per year per person in the world on advertising but the amount is $448 per American! Don't give in to the lure of "new and improved" if what you have is perfectly adequate.

52. Enjoy the Earth! To know it is to love it, and the more we love our home planet the better stewards we will be.

I am a Chicago resident and have seen a massive build-up of police at nearly every station along the Red Line. The Police are at the stations, on the platforms, and even do checks of each car at certain stops before giving the conductor the go-ahead to allow the train to continue running.
All this ALONG WITH the fact that the RTA is about to purchase a new, more comprehensive, yet less expensive, terrorist attack insurance policy as stated here: http://www.wbbm780.com/pages/346156.php?contentType=4&contentId=404937

Sources: Feds Ordered VA Police To Stand Down


Local authorities were told to take no action to pursue killer

Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet
Friday, April 20, 2007

Police and EMT workers at Virginia Tech tell us that campus police were given a federal order to stand down and not pursue killer Cho Seung-Hui as Monday's bloodshed unfolded.

Though wishing to remain anonymous for obvious reasons, we have received calls from police and EMT's who tell us that a stand down order was in place, and this is also confirmed by eyewitness Matt Kazee, who is a student at VA Tech.

Kazee talked to local EMT's and police who told him the same thing, that the order was to wait until federal back up arrived before any action was taken. This explains the complete non-response of the police in the two hour gap between Cho's first two murders and the wider rampage that would follow later that morning.

The policy of federal control over the University was put in place following a previous shooting in August 2006 in which a police officer and a hospital security guard were killed.

In addition, a former long-term University police officer, George French, told the Alex Jones Show that it is routine to seal off a campus on which a suspected gunman is loose.

“Setting up a series of roadblocks, controlling access to very large pieces of property, is very much routine on any university campus in Canada and in the United States,” said French.

“After a double homicide, when you’re looking for a dangerous fellow with a firearm, I find it unfathomable that a series of roadblocks weren’t set up…to prevent the felon from escaping.”

French could find no logical conclusion other than deliberate inaction on the part of officials. “We have another coordinated, allowed event…the parallels are so common in each case; you can write the script in advance.”







The Virginia Tech Shootings: Pretext For The Disarmament of America?


On the 28th of April 1996, a gunman went crazy in Tasmania, an island state south of mainland Australia in an incident that has become known as the Port Arthur massacre. It resulted in the total disarmament of Australians, via the federal government's gun buy-back scheme. Huge piles of firearms were destroyed.

The Port Arthur massacre was highly suspect.


Martin Bryant, the intellectually handicapped patsy used as the scapegoat in Port Arthur, April '96.



The Port Arthur Massacre



There is reason to think the Port Arthur massacre was planned as early 1987
when, after a specially called Premier's meeting in Hobart in December 1987, the
New South Wales Labour Premier, Mr. Barry Unsworth stated, "there
would be no effective gun control in Australia until there was a massacre in
Tasmania"


On Sunday, 28 April 1996, at a sleepy little tourist location known as Port
Arthur, something went down that will long live in memory of Australia's
collective psyche.  An unknown professional combat shooter opened
fire in the Broad Arrow Cafe at Port Arthur in Tasmania. In less than a minute
20 people lay dead, 19 of them killed with single shots to the head, fired from
the right hip of the fast-moving shooter. 



The awesome display of combat marksmanship was blamed on intellectually
impaired Martin Bryant, who was held in illegal strict solitary confinement for
more than 120 days, until he was "ready" to plead guilty. There was no
trial. Within a matter of weeks legislation was passed to removed semi-automatic
weapons from the Australian population and a gun buy-back proceeded. It is now
illegal to own any semi-automatic gun in Australia.


The Port Arthur Massacre has come to be known in conspiracy circles as a
"psyop". The definition of a psyop is a psychological operation or an
event designed to drum up public support for some piece of legislation that
would be otherwise be unpopular and probably be defeated. 


It is one of the signs of a propaganda campaign when the media continuously
plays up scenes that are designed to appeal to gut level instincts to soften
people up for the solution to be offered.  


The media were totally
oriented around sensationalising the distress and trauma, played the scenes over
and over, always cutting to updates on any developments and in effect the public
were bombarded continuously day in and day out for weeks over the issue. At the same time
a long list of facts or discrepancies were overlooked.

Any calls for a royal commission fell on deaf ears, the media were later
instructed not to talk about the subject anymore and the files have been closed for 30 years.


The Port Arthur massacre occurred on 28 April there was legislation prepared
by mid May with plans for a national buyback of automatic and semi-automatic
rifles.

Joe Vialls, an independent investigator with thirty years direct experience
of international military and oil field operations 



"Though Australia has tens of thousands of skilled sporting shooters it
has very few combat veterans, and even fewer special forces personnel trained to
kill large numbers of people quickly in an enclosed space like the Broad Arrow
Cafe, which is roughly the same size as mock-up rooms used for practicing the
rescue of hostages being held in confined spaces by armed terrorists. 


"It is hard to kill quickly
under such circumstances for a number of unpleasant reasons,
including
the fact that shot people tend to fall against other people, shielding the
latter from subsequent bullets. 


"Targets therefore have to be
shot in a careful sequence with split-second timing
to maximise kill
rates. 


"Whoever was on the trigger in Tasmania managed a kill rate well above
that required of a fully trained soldier, an impossible task for a man with
Martin Bryant's mid-sixties IQ and his total lack of military training, which is
an interesting but largely unimportant observation because we have already
proved in absolute scientific terms that Bryant could not have acted
alone."






Shooting skills far too
conspicuous


http://www.overflow.net.au/~nedwood/bryant2.html


"In this his ultimate demonstration of combat shooting skill the shooter
fired one sighting shot at a fast-moving target of unknown speed from an
unsupported free-standing firing position, the most difficult of all; instantly
and accurately compensated for vehicle speed and weapon recoil with the same
blinding speed as the computer gunsight of an F14 Tomcat, then disabled both
driver and vehicle with shots two and three. 


"This man might have been an indispensable asset stopping speeding
car-bombers in Beirut, but his professional skills were far too conspicuous for
Port Arthur."


The rest is here

We'll see a resurgence of the debate over gun control in the wake of these Virginia shootings, and whether or not it was an NSA-CIA type operation, it will most certainly be used as a pretext for the disarmament of America in preparation for what's to come.

In this video Gwen discusses some of the tactics used by some pharmaceutical sales reps to get doctors to prescribe their drugs.

This included tactics like minimizing harmful side effects to doctors, presenting statistics in a slanted way, accusing anyone that speaks out against psychiatric drugs as being a Scientologist, psychological profiling of doctors to best know how to convince them to prescribe your drugs, etc.

Gwen Olsen spent fifteen years as a pharmaceutical sales rep working for such healthcare giants as Johnson & Johnson, Bristol-Myers Squibb, and Abbott Laboratories. She enjoyed a successful, fast-paced career until several conscious-altering experiences began awakening her to the dangers lurking in every American medicine cabinet. Her most poignant lessons, however, came as both victim and survivor of life-threatening adverse drug reactions. After leaving pharmaceutical sales in 2000, Gwen worked in the natural foods industry first as an Account Manager for Nature's Way, and then as a Regional Sales Manager for Gaia Herbs. She is currently a writer, speaker, and natural health consultant.

Ground Beef








EARTHLINGS is a feature length documentary about humanity's absolute dependence on animals (for pets, food, clothing, entertainment, and ... all » scientific research) but also illustrates our complete disrespect for these so-called "non-human providers." The film is narrated by Academy Award nominee Joaquin Phoenix (GLADIATOR) and features music by the critically acclaimed platinum artist Moby.

With an in-depth study into pet stores, puppy mills and animals shelters, as well as factory farms, the leather and fur trades, sports and entertainment industries, and finally the medical and scientific profession, EARTHLINGS uses hidden cameras and never before seen footage to chronicle the day-to-day practices of some of the largest industries in the world, all of which rely entirely on animals for profit. Powerful, informative and thought-provoking, EARTHLINGS is by far the most comprehensive documentary ever produced on the correlation between nature, animals, and human economic interests. There are many worthy animal rights films available, but this one transcends the setting. EARTHLINGS cries to be seen. Highly recommended!

RE: Cabal Installation Destroyed by CIT !!!

----------------- Bulletin Message -----------------
From: Dalibor
Date: Apr 19, 2007 9:08 PM


Friends and Star Kids,

I just received information from a key informant, with affiliation to a three-letter government agency, that a Cabal-controlled installation, which has been manufacturing and then mentally programming Hybrid-Human clones to operate as its Super Soldiers, has been eliminated. The details.
In early 2006 an enormous underground installation, 16 miles long by one mile wide, began operation some kilometers distant from the Icelandic village of Djupidalur. (Photo of the surface of the underground installation is attached.) It took 13 years to build, having been authorized in 1993 by the U.S. National Security Council, who had been duped into believing it would be a research facility concerned with nuclear, biological and chemical weapons.
Instead, this facility was a key part of Cabal plans to build a super army of mostly Human clones whose genetics had been upgraded with just enough retrieved Star Visitor genetic material to give these clones enhanced physical, mental and psychic abilities.
This cloning project is what Colonel/Dr. Michael Wolf (Kruvant) of NSC's Special Studies Group was so incensed about when he told me several years ago that he had learned that his work in human cloning was being perverted by (Cabal) military into creating the Super [hybrid] Soldier who would then receive mental programming to get the clone to mindlessly follow immoral orders. This caused him to resign from government research work.
This weekend, a crack counter-insurgency team (CIT), operating independent of military control, and disgusted by Cabal takeover of key positions in government, undertook a mission to penetrate the Djupidalur installation.
The CIT located where the hapless, misinformed Hybrids were being held, liberated them, and escorted them to the surface, where their safe extraction would be arranged for by an individual with friendly ties to Star Nations and legitimate compartments within the U.S. National Security community.
During the escorting, CIT came under fire from Cabal security forces, and in the ensuing firefight, (Cabal) Brigadier General Frank Dougherty and a number of his security troops were killed.
The Counter-Insurgency Team then set off munitions they had emplaced, and destroyed the clone factory installation, after setting off an alarm to give non-security personnel an opportunity to leave for the surface.
When Dr. Wolf was working on cloning, he told me that it took a year to create a human clone from test tube to walking, talking adult. So, if Djupidalur went on-line in early 2006, and went off-line in early 2007, there must have been only one "batch" of Hybrids graduating from that mill. And the CIT team got them all.
The complete success of extraction of the Hybrids and destruction of the installation is a signal moment in the incremental retaking of Earth from Cabal control.
But we are not yet at final victory. Many other lightworkers are doing what they can, from wherever they are located within society and its structures, to take back Human society from the control of the Cabal monsters.
Look for your opportunity. Although most will not be as spectacular as the CIT's, opportunities to reform and transform our society are all around you.

in the light,

Ancient Israel, the Zodiac, and the Sun God

Added: Apr 17th, 2007 7:10 AM
RaidersNewsNetwork.com
April 17, 2007

Biblical Archaeology Review asks the question: Did ancient Jews observe the Zodiac and worship Helios, the Greek sun god? Raiders News Update believes 2 Kings 23: 11 and similar verses may prove this to be true.

RaidersNewsNetwork.com -- Archaeologist Zeev Weiss described a mosaic uncovered in an ancient Jewish synagogue in Sepphoris in which a zodiac surrounds a striking portrayal of the Greek sun god Helios. Similar artwork has been discovered in synagogues at Tiberias, Khirbet Susiya, Na'aran, Husifa, Yafia, Beit Alpha and Sephoris.

Lucille Roussin, writing for Biblical Archaeological Review believes she knows why the mosaics were made, and her explanation might bother some people.

"The Babylonian Talmud (Shabbat 156b) records a debate about the validity of astrology for Jews," she says. "Rabbi Hanina, a Babylonian who came to Palestine to study with the great Judah ha Nasi, compiler of the Mishna, said, 'The planetary influence gives wisdom, the planetary influence gives wealth and Israel stands under planetary influence.' In contrast, Rabbi Yohanan, who lived in about 250 C.E., declared, 'There are no constellations for Israel.'"

According to Roussin the rest of Shabbat 156b "is devoted to arguments in support of Rabbi Yohanan's position against planetary influence." Roussin points out that this very argument proves that some Jews did indeed believe "that Israel stood under planetary influence" and that Helios was probably a related minor deity to whom they offered prayer.

While Roussin's assumptions are correct, she fails to address the bigger issues of where the ancient Hebrews derived such notions; second, whether similar religious concepts existed in divergent cultures simultaneously around the world; and third does this weaken or support the fundamentalist biblical view of a single Creator.

"What in the world is a Greek god doing in a synagogue?"

Can zodiacs and dedications to a Greek god in an ancient Jewish synagogue actually provide support for the notion that Yahweh is the one true God and Creator? The somewhat unorthodox conclusion begins with a simple idea, which Tom Horn in his book "The Gods Who Walk Among Us" called "Original Revelation."

The basic premise is that a perfect revelation existed between God and man "in the beginning." The first man Adam was one with God and perceived divine knowledge from the mind of God. The human was "in tune" with the mental processes of God, and therefore understood what God knew about science, astronomy, cosmology and eschatology.

According to the theory, after the fall, Adam was "detached" from the mind of God but retained an imperfect memory of the Original Revelation including a knowledge of God's plan of redemption. This point of view is held as reasonable because when one considers the earliest historical and archeological records from civilizations around the world, they consistently point back to and repeat portions of a similar Creation story.

Two things began to occur in the decades after the Fall: 1) information from the original revelation became distant and distorted as it was dispersed among the nations and as it was passed from generation to generation; and 2) (for those who believe in a real Devil) the realm of Satan seized upon this opportunity to receive worship, and to turn people away from Yahweh, by distorting and counterfeiting the original revelation with pagan ideas and "gods". Instead of viewing the galaxy and stars as a heavenly map laid out by God, men began celebrating the stars and worshiping the 'deities' believed represented by them. "Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God..." (Rom. 1:22-23).

In his book "The Real Meaning Of The Zodiac," Dr. James Kennedy echoed such ideas, pointing out that the ancient signs of the Zodiac recorded a singular and original revelation—a kind of Gospel in the stars—and that the message of the stars, although converted into astrology after the fall of man, originally recorded the Gospel of God. He writes:

"There exists in the writings of virtually all civilized nations a description of the major stars in the heavens—something which might be called their "Constellations of the Zodiac" or the "Signs of the Zodiac," of which there are twelve. If you go back in time to Rome, or beyond that to Greece, or before that to Egypt, Persia, Assyria, or Babylonia—regardless of how far back you go, there is a remarkable phenomenon: Nearly all nations had the same twelve signs, representing the same twelve things, placed in the same order....The book of Job, which is thought by many to be the oldest book of the Bible, goes back to approximately 2150 B.C., which is 650 years before Moses came upon the scene to write the Pentateuch; over 1,100 years before Homer wrote the Odyssey and the Illiad; and 1,500 years before Thales, the first of the philosophers, was born. In chapter 38, God finally breaks in and speaks to Job and to his false comforters. As He is questioning Job, showing him and his companions their ignorance, God says to them: "Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?" (Job 38:31,32).

"We see here reference to the constellations of Orion and Pleiades, and the star Arcturus. Also in the book of Job there is reference to Cetus, the Sea Monster, and to Draco, the Great Dragon. I would call your attention to Job 38:32a: "Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season?" Mazzaroth is a Hebrew word which means "The Constellations of the Zodiac." In what may be the oldest book in all of human history, we find that the constellations of the zodiac were already clearly known and understood....Having made it clear that the Bible expressly, explicitly, and repeatedly condemns what is now known as astrology, the fact remains that there was a God-given Gospel [universally acknowledged original revelation] in the stars which lays beyond and behind that which has now been corrupted. "

In his book, Dr. Kennedy condemned the practice of astrology, while asserting his view that the constellations of the zodiac were likely given by God to the first man as "record-keepers" of the original revelation of God.

The original prophetic significance of the zodiac was summarized by Kennedy:

VIRGO:
Seed of the Woman, Desire of nations, Man of humiliation, becomes exalted Shepherd and Harvester.

LIBRA:
The scales demand a price to be paid, Cross to endure, the Victim slain, a Crown purchased.

SCORPIO:
A Conflict, Serpent's coils, Struggle with the Enemy, the Evil Vanquisher.

SAGITTARIUS:
The double-natured One triumphs as a Warrior, Pleases the Heavens, Builds fires of punishment, Casts down the Dragon.

CAPRICORNUS:
Life comes from death, He's the Arrow of God, Pierced, Springs up again in abundant life.

AQUARIUS:
Life-waters from on High, Drinking the heavenly river, Delivering the Good News, Carrying the Cross over the earth.

PISCES:
The Redeemer's People multiplied, Suppoted and led by the Lamb, The Bride is exposed on earth, the Bridegroom is exalted.

ARIES:
The Lamb is found worthy, the Bride is made ready, Satan is bound, the Breaker triumphs.

TAURUS:
The conquering Ruler comes, the sublime Vanquisher, the great Judgment, the ruling Shepherd.

GEMINI:
The Marriage of the Lamb, the Enemy is trodden down, the Prince comes in great Glory.

CANCER:
The great Bride, the Church and Israel, are brought safely into the kingdom.

LEO:
The Lion King is aroused for rending, the Serpent flees, the Bowl of Wrath is upon him, his Carcass is devoured.

If assumptions such as those made in "The Gods Who Walk Among Us" can be accepted—that an original revelation was corrupted after the biblical fall of man and subsequently degenerated into the mythologies of the pagan gods—one would expect to find numerous examples of such corruption from as far back as the beginning of history and within various civilizations around the world. Since the myths behind the gods would therefore be "borrowed" ideas, the corrupted texts would be similar to the original truth, and, in that sense, evidence of a particular and original revelation.

In this case a representation of the Greek sun god Helios in an ancient Jewish synagogue might be perceived as pointing back to an Original Revelation that was distorted as a result of the Fall of man. Furthermore, If the distortions of the original revelation were in fact energized by an evil supernaturalism, the goal of the alterations may have been to draw people away from the worship of Yahweh through a close but distorted association with an original truth. According to researchers like Kennedy and Horn, this may be why a zodiac appears in an ancient Jewish synagogue.

In another book by Horn, "Spiritual Warfare—The Invisible Invasion" a similar example of how an original revelation may have been plagiarized by Satan is given. Concerning Asclepius, the Greek god of healing, Horn writes:

"At the base of Pergamums hill stood the shrine of Asclepius, equipped with its own library, theater, sleeping chambers used in healing rituals, and long underground tunnels joining various other shrines to which pagans journeyed to receive the healing powers of Apollo's favorite son. The Christian Church considered these mystical powers as demonic, for the worship of Asclepius focused on the image of a serpent, sometimes called Glycon, a figure some historians see as the origin for the modern symbol of healing—a serpent winding about a pole. Asclepius carried the lofty title, the hero god of healing.

"In Numbers 21, Moses designed the brazen serpent on a pole that was used by God as an oracle of healing. 743 years later, in 2 Kings 18:4, we find that Israel had began to worship the brazen serpent with offerings and incense. From here the image was adopted into Greek mythology where it became the symbol of Asclepius, the Greek god of healing.

"Asclepius was reported to have cured untold numbers from every conceivable disease—even raising a man from the dead. This caused Apollo through his Oracle at Delphi to declare, "Oh Asclepius!, thou who art born a great joy to all mortals, whom lovely Coronis bare to me, the child of love, at rocky Epidaurus." Such a healer was he reported to be, that Pluto, god of Hades, complained to Zeus that hardly anyone was dying anymore, and so Zeus destroyed Asclepius with a thunderbolt. Afterward, Apollo pleaded with Zeus to restore his son and this intercession so moved Zeus that he not only brought Asclepius back to life, but immortalized him as the god of medicine. First at Thessaly, and finally throughout the Greek and Roman world, Asclepius was worshiped as the saviour god of healing.

"Greek mythology stated that Asclepius had the power to heal the sick and to bring the dead back to life by drawing blood out from the side of the goddess of justice. Asclepius was symbolized by a serpent winding about a pole, and he was called the great "Physician." The obvious intention of the serpent on a pole in Numbers 21 was to focus mankind on the coming Messiah, the true Great Physician, who would hang upon a pole and would deliver His followers from sickness and from death by the blood that ran out from His side."

Are these glaring examples of God's "revelations" plagiarized for demonic purposes? The worship of the god Helios by ancient Jews may point to a time when Original Revelation was splintered and truth was fractured when men "changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen" (Rom. 1:25).

Yes, Amen. As in "Amen Ra"…

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Amen+Ra&btnG=Google+Search

Interesting article, but the author, who adopts a Christian perspective, fails to acknowledge that Christianity is a further corruption of these confused ideas! The above example is but one that shows their propensity to 'barrow' from previous traditions. Most Christians say "amen" having no idea from where the word comes nor what it means.

Amen Ra, the Egyptian Sun - as Helios was the Greek Sun, as Christ is the Christian Sun, etc. Do we see a pattern here?

I do believe the basic premise of this article is truth, that the Hermetics were right - As Above, So Below. All is an extrapolation of the archetypes, and so we may learn about the Macrocosm by study of the Microcosm and vice versa. For the origin of the word 'cosmos' is simply 'system' or suggestive of an 'ordered system'. It follows that any ordered system based upon logical premises - laws, rules - may be known in whole by proper understanding of it in part. We must extrapolate our understanding in the same way in which the ALL grows from the seeds of the great archetypes. The "pagan" gods are allegorical representations of these archetypes. The Catholic church sought to subvert this knowledge from the masses.

How to stop US-Israeli State Terrorism


By Gideon Polya
http://mwcnews.net/content/view/8466/254/

What Can We Do?

ImageQANA is another appalling atrocity in 90 years of European colonial atrocities in the Middle East. This saga of racism, war, colonial occupation, colonization and ethnic cleansing commenced with the 1916 Anglo-French Sykes-Picot Agreement (dividing up Arab countries between Britain and France); progressed with the 1917 British Balfour Declaration  (making Mandated Palestine a National Home for Jews – albeit with the caveat that there should be no detriment to the Indigenous Arab inhabitants that is now conveniently forgotten it seems by everybody but the victims); solidified with the creation of the UN-sanctioned State of Israel (accompanied by genocidal expulsion of  0.7 million Palestinians, resulting today in  6 million Palestinian refugees in the Middle East alone); and explicitly racist, violent, colonial, and  genocidal Occupation of the West Bank and Gaza (together with at various times major  slabs of Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria).

Now an impotent world is seeing egregious RACISM as well as continuing war crimes and genocide in the Middle East on an awful scale. Commentators are freely speculating about extension of the latest Israeli War on its neighbours (another War on Women and Children) to include Syria  (enabling Israeli-US hegemony from the Sinai to the Euphrates) and to Iran (enabling Israeli-US hegemony almost from the Nile to the Indus in an obscene mimicry of the conquests of Alexander the Great in about 330 BC).

The crimes of racist Zionism and Bush-Blair "Christian Zionism" (democratic imperialism, democratic tyranny or democratic Nazism) against Arabs and Muslims were horrendous BEFORE the latest Israeli War on Arab Women and Children. Thus the post-invasion avoidable mortality (excess mortality, avoidable deaths) in the Occupied Palestinian, Iraqi and Afghan Territories total 0.3, 0.5 and 2.0 million, respectively - 60% under-5 year old infants and variously due to Israeli, UK, US, Coalition and NATO violation of the Geneva Convention.

The latest Israeli War on Women and Children has killed about 1,000, wounded thousands, made about 1 million homeless, threatens genocide in Southern Lebanon, and has devastated infrastructure with the likelihood of over 40,000 avoidable deaths ANNUALLY if Palestine and Lebanon are bombed and shelled to a "UK-US-occupied Iraq" scenario (for a detailed analysis see MWC News ).

Westerners who support the war criminal bombing and shelling of their OWN citizens by war criminal Israeli State Terrorism are traitors and terrorist sympathizers - and should be dealt with by Shaming, the Law, Boycotts and the Ballot Box.

It is not only Palestinian and Lebanese who are being war criminally targeted by the Israeli Wehrmacht. Westerners should also be concerned over what is happening to their OWN citizens in Lebanon - about 140,000 Western citizens (25,000 Australians, 25,000 Americans, 50,000 Canadians, 20,000 Britishers and 20,000 French citizens) have been bombed and shelled by the  Israelis for 2 weeks - but only the French Government has demanded a cessation.

As an Australian I am angered that OUR neo-con and slavishly Bush-ite Government supports the continuing Israeli devastation of Lebanon and Palestine and hence the continuing bombing and shelling of our OWN citizens - and our cowardly Labor Opposition is too scared of the US Ambassador and the vitriolic Israel Lobby to say boo. Only the sensible and humane Australian Greens have demanded immediate bipartisan cessation of the violence.

Westerners who support the war criminal bombing and shelling of their OWN citizens by war criminal Israeli State Terrorism are traitors and terrorist sympathizers - and should be dealt with by Shaming, the Law, Boycotts and the Ballot Box.

Decent Westerners thus have a dual problem that is (A) international and (B) domestic.

(A). Racist Israeli war and genocide is a gross violation of humanity, a gross affront to decent humanity and constitutes a dire threat to us all – if the USIST war criminals can continue to do this then it simply means that “might is right”, anyone can do it, and International law and International Convention simply go out the window (as with the effective collapse of the League of Nations in the face of violent Nazism in the 1930s).

(B). Ultrazionists and the fanatical Pro-Israel Lobby have perverted our democratic processes, institutions, media and politicians (as dramatically demonstrated by refusal of relevant Western Governments – other than the French – to demand a cessation of the bombing and shelling of their OWN citizens by war criminal Israel State Terrorists). However this goes much further. Ultrazionist-promulgated “terror hysteria” has involved most of the Western democracies in horrendous war crimes associated with US-led “democratic imperialism”. Western civil liberties have been seriously compromised by Nazi-style anti-Terror Laws that are wisely applied to Muslim non-state terrorists or their sympathizers but NOT to the vastly more dangerous supporters and effectors of racist State Terrorism.

WHAT can we do? What MUST we do to stop racist, genocidal US-Israeli State Terrorism (USIST)?

Actually “USIST” is a very appropriate acronym. Just as “sexists” “use” women, so “USISTs” have a pathological narcissist, self-awarded licence to “use” anything and everything” they choose to, regardless. The US USISTs have a “right” to the resources of the whole world to the exclusion of the minimal claims of others. The Ultrazionist USISTs simply insist that whole world must bow to their demands – they simply IGNORE decisions of the International Court of Justice or the UN General Assembly, or the demands of the Geneva, Hague, Universal Hunan Rights, Rights of the Child and UN Genocide Conventions. Worried (or rather, slightly perturbed) by the implications of the International Criminal  Court, or the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty, they simply refuse to sign on. USISTS are narcissistic, solipsistic and “special” – regarding Americans as “God’s Own” or the Israelis as “God’s Chosen”.


Here is a “shopping list” of things decent, non-violent, pro-peace, anti-racist, anti-terrorism citizens of the world can do – and we can all make a start NOW.Image

1.PEACE. Peace is the only way – indeed USIST thrives on typically ineffectual counter-violence that is grossly exaggerated as “terror” by Mainstream media. Thus the “annual homicide rate” in Israel is 45/million as compared to 54 in the United States. However the “annual homicide rate” for the Israel-occupied Holy Land is 124/million and over 80% of the homicides are by Jewish Israelis, mostly young soldiers (see MWC News). 

2. DIAGNOSIS. Know thy enemy. Walter Davis’ outstanding “Deaths Dream Kingdom. The American psyche since 9-11” (Pluto, London, 2006) analyses the conservative political exploitation of mass psychological infantalism involving a psychotic refusal to empathize with others or to even engage with oneself. This mass pathological narcissism has horrible implications for the world that have been substantially realized in post-1950 US wars that have been associated (so far) with 18 million avoidable deaths.

3. RECOGNITION. We swim in a sea of lies. The most important thing about the USIST War on Terror is how many people have died as a consequence. About 7,000 Western civilians have been killed by Muslim-origin non-state terrorists in the last 40 years but the post-invasion avoidable deaths from the USIST  War on Terror now totals about 2.5 million in occupied Iraq and Afghanistan alone. The USIST diversion of the world from the real problems of economic disparity, global warming and global avoidable mortality is costing 16 million avoidable deaths each year.

From: Roger Lee

Excellent article, the answer I guess is to wait until the next election and in my case vote Blair out. MORE...

4. REALITY. Understanding the consequences of UNIST actions is difficult because lying Mainstream Media will simply not tell you. However there is a plethora of outstanding and expert writers one can read such as Tariq Ali, Robert Fisk, John Pilger, Arundhati Roy, George Monbiot, Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed, Dahr Jamail, William Blum, James Lovelock (“The Revenge of Gaia”)  and Emmanuel Todd (read a translation of his “After the Empire. The breakdown of the American Order”). Even more powerful is when the truth comes from the “horse’s mouth” as in Philip Agee’s “Inside the Company. CIA Diary” (Penguin, London, 1975) and John Perkins’ horrifying “Confessions of an Economic Hit Man” (Ebury, London, 2005).

5. INFORM. Decent people are obliged to inform others about immense abuses of human rights, and about the horrendous consequences of racist USIST policies. Silence kills and silence is complicity. A crucial step will involve getting John Doe to understand that the VIOLENT deaths are just the 5% tip of the iceberg – 95% of the avoidable deaths from USIST violence are NON-VIOLENT deaths from deprivation and malnourishment-related disease.  Thus post-invasion VIOLENT deaths total about 50,000 in Iraq but the total post-invasion avoidable deaths (including the NON-VIOLENT deaths) totals about 0.5 million.

6. SHAME. Racist, genocidal USIST violence is now targeting Western civilians. Notwithstanding the ugly racist reality that the neo-con “politically correct racists“ (PC racists) evidently don’t regard “Lebanese-origin citizens” as “real citizens”,  they indubitably ARE. Westerners who support the war criminal bombing and shelling of their OWN citizens by war criminal Israeli State Terrorism are traitors and terrorist sympathizers - and should be dealt with by Shaming, the Law, commercial Boycotts and the Ballot Box. Thought experiment - would you befriend, assist, have any dealings with or vote for a traitor, a terrorist sympathizer or an unrepentant  Nazi?

7. SANCTIONS & BOYCOTTS. International sanctions and boycotts worked against the racist Apartheid  régime in South Africa (notwithstanding USIST flouting of the sanctions) and should be urgently applied – indeed as neo-con-advocated “free market choice” - to halt USIST war crimes. Would you buy soap made in Auschwitz?
 
8. ENDLESS WAR ON RACISM & VIOLENCE. The USISTs have declared an “endless war” on humanity that has already manifested as an appalling war on Women and Children. Decent humanity should IMMEDIATELY launch a Peaceful counter-offensive that will persist until the USISTs and indeed EVERYONE – like the Germans in 1945 – adhere to the post-Holocaust protocol denoted C4A (CAAAA): Cessation of violence, Acknowledgment of the crimes, Apology, Amends and Assertion of non-repetition, of “Never again”.

    Administration Tried to Curb Election Turnout in Key States

    By Greg Gordon
    McClatchy-Tribune

    Go to Original

Campaign against alleged voter fraud sought to bolster the GOP.

    Washington - For six years, the Bush administration, aided by Justice Department political appointees, has pursued an aggressive legal effort to restrict voter turnout in key battleground states in ways that favor Republican political candidates, according to former department lawyers and a review of written records.

    The administration intensified its efforts last year as President Bush's popularity and Republican support eroded heading into a midterm battle for control of Congress, which the Democrats won.

    Facing nationwide voter registration drives by Democratic-leaning groups, the administration alleged widespread election fraud and endorsed proposals for tougher state and federal voter identification laws. Presidential political adviser Karl Rove alluded to the strategy in April 2006 when he railed about voter fraud in a speech to the Republican National Lawyers Association.

    Questions about the administration's campaign against alleged voter fraud have helped fuel the political tempest over the firings last year of eight U.S. attorneys, several of whom were ousted in part because they failed to bring voter fraud cases important to Republican politicians. Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales could shed more light on the reasons for those firings when he appears today before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

    Civil rights advocates contend that the administration's policies were intended to disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of poor and minority voters who tend to support Democrats, and by filing state and federal lawsuits, civil rights groups have won court rulings blocking some of its actions.

    Justice Department spokeswoman Cynthia Magnuson called any allegation that the department has rolled back minority voting rights "fundamentally flawed."

    She said the department has "a completely robust record when it comes to enforcing federal voting rights laws," citing its support last year for reauthorization of the 1965 Voting Rights Act and the filing of at least 20 suits to ensure that language services are available to non-English-speaking voters.

    The administration, however, has repeatedly invoked allegations of widespread voter fraud to justify tougher voter ID measures and other steps to restrict access to the ballot, even though research suggests that voter fraud is rare.

    Since President Bush's first attorney general, John Ashcroft, a former Republican senator from Missouri, launched a "Ballot Access and Voter Integrity Initiative" in 2001, Justice Department political appointees have exhorted U.S. attorneys to prosecute voter fraud cases, and the department's Civil Rights Division has sought to roll back policies to protect minority voting rights.

    On virtually every significant decision affecting election balloting since 2001, the division's Voting Rights Section has come down on the side of Republicans, notably in Florida, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, Washington and other states where recent elections have been decided by narrow margins.

    Joseph Rich, who left his job as chief of the section in 2005, said these events formed an unmistakable pattern.

    "As more information becomes available about the administration's priority on combating alleged, but not well substantiated, voter fraud, the more apparent it is that its actions concerning voter ID laws are part of a partisan strategy to suppress the votes of poor and minority citizens," he said.

    Former department lawyers, public records and other documents show that since Bush took office, political appointees in the Civil Rights Division have:

  • Approved Georgia and Arizona laws that tightened voter ID requirements. A federal judge tossed out the Georgia law as an unconstitutional infringement on the rights of poor voters, and a federal appeals court signaled its objections to the Arizona law on similar grounds last fall, but that litigation was delayed by the U.S. Supreme Court until after the election.
  • Issued advisory opinions that overstated a 2002 federal election law by asserting that it required states to disqualify new voting registrants if their identification didn't match that in computer databases, prompting at least three states to reject tens of thousands of applicants mistakenly.
  • Done little to enforce a provision of the 1993 National Voter Registration Act that requires state public assistance agencies to register voters. The inaction has contributed to a 50 percent decline in annual registrations at those agencies, to 1 million from 2 million.
  • Sued at least six states on grounds that they had too many people on their voter rolls. Some eligible voters were removed in the resulting purges.

Subject Ron Paul - Common Sense On Guns Rights
Body: Ron Paul - Common Sense On Guns

April 17, 2007

The gun control nuts are having a field day with the Virginia Tech killings, some calling for more gun laws and some calling for the repeal of the 2nd Amendment.

There’s one thing you don’t hear them mention, Virginia House Bill 1572 which was proposed in 2005. “The bill would have prohibited state universities in Virginia from enacting “rules or regulations limiting or abridging the ability of a student who possesses a valid concealed handgun permit … from lawfully carrying a concealed handgun.”"
On top of that, “a Virginia Tech official in 2006 praised the defeat of a proposal to allow students with state-issued concealed handgun permits to carry their handguns on college campuses in Virginia.”

See Here

Those in the legislature who allowed the bill to die and those gun control nuts who praised the gun prohibition effectively made the Virginia Tech campus a gun free zone, thus insuring that the students and teachers would be left defenseless against sudden criminal attack. The way I see it, the gun control crowd made themselves unintended accomplices to the 32 murders committed by denying people their constitutional rights.

Ron Paul interviewed at The Politico:

Ron Paul: More Guns Will Deter Shootings

Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) has a simple solution to future shooting massacres such as the one that ripped apart Virginia Tech university Monday: more guns.

“People are a little more cautious if somebody might have a gun there,” the GOP presidential candidate told Politico reporters Tuesday. “A concealed gun carried by a responsible person — that might have ended the problem that they had at Virginia Tech with one person being killed or two people being killed.”

Paul, 71, is the kind of lawmaker, and presidential candidate, gun control advocates love to hate at moments like this. And, based on public opinion polls and reader feedback at Politico.com, he’s far from alone.

Ron Paul: More Guns Will Deter Shootings

By: Josh Kraushaar
April 17, 2007 03:32 PM EST

Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) has a simple solution to future shooting massacres such as the one that ripped apart Virginia Tech university Monday: more guns.

"People are a little more cautious if somebody might have a gun there," the GOP presidential candidate told Politico reporters Tuesday. "A concealed gun carried by a responsible person -- that might have ended the problem that they had at Virginia Tech with one person being killed or two people being killed."

Paul, 71, is the kind of lawmaker, and presidential candidate, gun control advocates love to hate at moments like this. And, based on public opinion polls and reader feedback at Politico.com, he's far from alone.



Echoing the views of many Americans, he sees calls for restriction on guns as an affront to freedom. The libertarian-minded Texan is one of the most outspoken defenders of gun rights in Congress. Since the obstetrician was first elected to Congress in 1976, he has never voted for a bill restricting gun ownership. And he said the tragedy in Blacksburg, Va., could have been prevented if the school allowed students and professors to carry concealed weapons on campus.

Paul, who ran for the Libertarian presidential nomination in 1988, is well known on Capitol Hill for his outspoken, maverick positions. He opposed authorizing federal funding to victims of Hurricane Katrina. He wants to abolish the Federal Reserve and the U.S. Department of Education. He has called for a return to the gold standard. He argues that tighter gun control laws would have no impact on gun crime.

"It's the lack of access to law-abiding citizens to have guns in many places that increases our crime rate," he said. "We just can't prevent every tragedy of a maniac. So to pretend this happened because of lack of laws would be the wrong thing to assume."

Despite his pro-gun rhetoric, Paul also often finds himself voting with Democrats, particularly in the area of civil liberties. He was one of only three Republican lawmakers to vote against the USA Patriot Act in 2001. He expressed concern that the Virginia Tech shootings would be exploited to crack down on civil liberties.

"I know there will be a call for, 'Boy, we've got to take hold of every single gun and register the gun.' It's sort of like after 9/11, we had to worry about terrorists, but what we've done is register every American," he said. "With national ID cards, inspection and loss of our liberties, warrantless searches, we've attacked law-abiding citizens. So, no, I don't think we need more gun control for law-abiding citizens."

Paul suggested that the Sept. 11 attacks could have been avoided if the pilots on the hijacked airliners had been armed. "If terrorists knew that every pilot had a gun in the cockpit, they wouldn't have done it," he said. "They would have all been shot and wouldn't have accomplished their mission."

RE: Vermont Senate: Impeach the president

Vermont Senate: Impeach the president

By ROSS SNEYD, Associated Press Writer1 hour, 31 minutes ago

http://news.yahoo.com

Vermont senators voted Friday to call for the impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, saying their actions have raised "serious questions of constitutionality."

The non-binding resolution was approved 16-9 without debate — all six Republicans in the chamber at the time and three Democrats voted against it.

The resolution says Bush and Cheney's actions in the U.S. and abroad, including in Iraq, "raise serious questions of constitutionality, statutory legality, and abuse of the public trust."

"I think it's going to have a tremendous political effect, a tremendous political effect on public discourse about what to do about this president," said James Leas, a vocal advocate of withdrawing troops from Iraq and impeaching Bush and Cheney.

Vermont lawmakers earlier voted to demand an immediate troop withdrawal from Iraq in another non-binding resolution.

Democratic House Speaker Gaye Symington has kept a similar resolution from reaching the floor in her chamber. She argued that an impeachment resolution would be partisan and divisive and that it would distract Washington from efforts to get the United States out of Iraq, which she says is more important.

In the Senate, Republican Lt. Gov. Brian Dubie had opposed the resolution, but he was absent Friday. That left Democratic Senate President Pro Tem Peter Shumlin in charge, and he immediately took up the measure.

More than three dozen towns voted in favor of similar nonbinding impeachment resolutions at their annual town meetings in March. State lawmakers in Wisconsin and Washington have pushed for similar resolutions.

BEIJING - China has successfully created artificial snow in the mountainous region of Tibet, raising hopes of a man-made solution to drought and melting glaciers there, state media reported.

The artificial snowfall was engineered on April 10 at an altitude of 4,500 metres in Nagqu country in northern Tibet, Xinhua news agency said, quoting the local meteorological station.

"The first artificial snowfall proves it’s possible to change the weather through human efforts on the world’s highest plateau," said Yu Zhongshui, an engineer with the meteorological station.

The snowfall measured one centimetre (0.4 inches) deep.

"To launch artificial precipitation can help alleviate drought on the grassland in northern Tibet," said Yu.

Xinhua did not give details of the method used but chemicals such as silver iodide spread by aircraft or rockets are commonly used in cloud seeding to increase rainfall in arid regions.

Recent Chinese meteorological studies have found precipitation is declining and temperatures rising on the Tibetan plateau, a vital hydrological region because it is the source of many major rivers that flow through China and other countries.

The studies have noted the region’s glaciers also were receding at a rapid clip.

Quantum Factor - with William Arntz
the filmmaker of "What The Bleep Do We Know!?"

A fascinating Quantum Factor episode, featuring producer, director, William Arntz,
who tells us that many of the most exciting new ideas in science (and especially in quantum physics), as well as, many long-held spiritual and religious beliefs are now merging, and how this converging of new- science with age-old beliefs would inspire filmmaker, William Arntz, to co-create his ground-breaking movies, "What The Bleep Do We Know!?" and "What The Bleep!? Down The Rabbit Hole."
