My comment 24 Oct 09, 1:12pm
I believe in share and share alike.
Very well.
I always have this problem when I read Share International. So many people try to steal it from me. I have no subscription, for then rumours would be spread that I am a member of a cult, from which already I can not move freely since years. Therefore I can only read the latest news about how to share in the tube, where I feel safe until recently. Everybody makes it more difficult. My opinion is therefore that the best way of sharing is discrimination. I did try to explain to the (psychological) tramps they don't try to steal the news, but me. They suck. As soon as I am out, nobody is interested. I am clairvoyant, so I know that when I have left, nobody is reading a thing. Only because I read, everybody else wants to read. And if they do, they don't see any point, and they would blame me and get aggressive. It is a global problem. So often I have to leave quickly at a random station to flee growing indignation and hatred from their disappointment before I could get killed. They will instantly conclude that I am a racist. Theft is based on imitation and alienation. It is everywhere. Complete universities exist in it, and they have commercialised any spontaneity I had.

Alcohol is worse than cigarettes
My comment 20 Oct 09, 4:24pm
I heard from a doctor in chemistry who had travelled all his life, and lived as a a hermit, that alcohol causes such changes in our body as are heredical. I also was assured by someone from Newcastle, who lives in a tent since several years and does not have one penney (he collects food that is too old to be sold and is thrown away from a store to survive) because he cannot handle the mental and social atmosphere of work anymore, that alcohol is indeed a huge problem. He doesn't drink a drop since many years anymore, and is principled about it; he neither smokes. But he does smoke marijuana, and says they rather should not have prohibited it, instead of alcohol. I am not sure I agree about the latter.

Alcohol is worse than cigarettes
My comment 20 Oct 09, 2:55pm
Alcohol and cigarettes tend to be used in combination and they balance each other. They are like Yang and Yin. What is more devastating is greed. Alcohol is pushed, it costs little for the pub owner, and so profit is high. In some areas in the world, for instance in Mexico, where people on the whole have a more sane way of thinking and living, they always serve food, and rich food, in cafes, for maybe little more than a glass of beer. Life in general is more pleasant in such a way. Here people working in a pub are already annoyed if you use anything that takes more work than just tapping a beer, even if they sell it officially. They are just too lousy. It is part of the extreme poverty of western society, which is just so greedy, that everything becomes a poison.

We must be telepathic
My comment 18 Oct 09, 3:00pm
Women's intuition is a form of telepathy that has been romanticised, and is a distortion, and the source of most illusion, as men don't either have the guts to distinguish objectivity from manipulation anymore. Telepathy has frequently been called straight-knowledge as it needs no medium to know, it is independent from material sources of transmission. And this is no schizophrenia as the romantic version wills it. If this would not be understood, there would never have been any masters, and this is their wisdom which makes them immortal.

We must be telepathic
My comment 18 Oct 09, 12:46pm
Telepathy is quite natural to all people. When the masters of wisdom and Maitreya appear in full view, the externalization of the brotherhood, great distortions of the truth also take place by their heightened energy which is unconsciously manipulated. Real telepathy is only possible by unselfishness.Greed instinctively distorts the truth and disturbs, as it denies the underlying unity which makes possible telepathy. There is mental telepathy and there is a nearly physical sensitivity that animals have among each other in a more functional manner than has man belonging to their survival. True telepathy is the direct communication between conscious minds.For the masters telepathy is the usual mode of communication.Jesus was telepathically overshadowed by Maitreya, the Christ.Telepathy will be demonstrated by Maitreya again when he will address himself to all mankind. He does not need television or the media for this, but we do. Untrained as we are, we would otherwise not be able to understand the one source of what is coming and we would think we are nuts or so, as so many already.Therefore the greatest service to our sanity, in fact our survival starting in the mind, at stake today is that the media co-operate. On the objective plane the media represent what telepathy does on the subjective plane. That is their calling.Telepathy can be be proven, but there are no instruments that can be fully objective, unless we subject to them (as many aspire), which is not possible, even by suicide, as has already been proven.

Seeding a safer world
My comment 16 Oct 09, 6:46pm
There is a kind of - inverse - ratio between distribution of food and distribution of people. In a way we either eat our food or we eat our people. That food security is on the agenda is to our benefit, if only we understand. We might think everyone does, but this is not true. In that way the problem is not that not enough food is produced. One of the problems is overproduction, resulting in low farm prices. The United States is the number one food exporter in the world and controls the free market. And however a contradiction this way of expressing may seem, is shown in the imbalance between man and his environment. The problem is in other words that the market doesn't respond to human need or hunger, let alone starvation, but to money. Every country in the world basically has the resources to feed its own population. Although one way to increase production to meet needs in a global context is to devise a system in which those who do the work will have a greater say.

Not long ago I heard a black man defend Geert Wilders, in the first place as being non-racist. There were several people I know around, who all have a mission, and it is to do with the racist to a point everyone would tend to become one. One blonde studying law, was just talking about the rights of animals, and said that at least they are to be treated humanely. A sailor corrected her saying that animals can't be treated humanely since they are not human. Right after this the black man joined the conversation. Anyone, it was refreshing to hear something outside the regular sterotypes. I wondered if he was just opposing a kind of indulgence, or if he meant what he said. I think both.

Russia can sway Iran's nuclear ambitions
My comment 25 Sep 09, 3:20pm
Iran has proposed to ban all nuclear arms from the world. The nuclear bomb is the most destructive weapon ever manufactured, and so many countries today possess it that a major war would mean the destruction of all life; the whole planet would be wasted. The masters of wisdom, who themselves have access to a higher world, which is not the pulpit, are in this - our - one to help us understand this very real confrontation is no coincidence, and no sectarian blackmail, and they say that people would have to reincarnate in regressive circumstances fitting their fall on a different planet far off, and restart a nearly endless path back to the light.

Promises of immortality

Should a 250-year-old physical teen be treated as an adult and served alcohol or not? This among other things is a problem to the masters of wisdom who are now in the world with Maitreya. Strangely the only thing by which they can prove their wisdom to the sceptics is by their immortality. But this evidence can only come by means of ID cards or so, if they are registered somewhere. And it is not wise for the sceptics to imitate them, in this way.

Religion is a doctrine that seeks to explains death as a natural phenomenon that is conditoned by God, and it says that man himself has no say over it. And even though it has not always been very interested in the environment, it is not surprising it resists the manipulation of death by unnatural causes.

Religion and schools don't mix
jaapdenhaan's comment 30 Jun 09, 12:32pm
Religion as well as religious sects are always suspected, yet there are many sects that are not religious, but operate in that manner, which is vague to most people. There is an element of blackmail in education, not just in religious education. Religion still has an understanding of the essential meaning of forgiveness and giving, which non-religious people often miss, so they are paranoid about intimidation, outside which they don't understand the world. And this is reflected in our world. It has been said: Love is giving and forgiving, not getting and forgetting. This is what children should be aware of. This often they don't have to even be taught. But they should not be dissuaded.

jaapdenhaan's comment 22 Jun 09, 7:51pm
Heidegger makes an important point worth contemplating in these days. Thinking things and extended things are different things. Thinkingpractially about these issues, I find it interesting that the only Western language in which extended things have no official masculine or feminine gender is English. I see this not as impoverishment, but as wisdom. The sex of things has caused the things of sex.

Neither euthanasia nor suicide, but end-of-life choice
jaapdenhaan's comment 22 Jun 09, 9:47am
I am of course just an amateur, but what kind of life can we expect? While I should have been dead already, and several friends in those circumstances committed suicide, I realised that the few per cent you have left must be used. One will be discriminated for this, but one learns what society is really like. Why? I hear the word love. Those who say they have given me that tried to bury me alive. Their advice is always dangerous, and their rights ought to be limited as much as possible. Let incompetent people who cause so much damage not be given the credit of compassion, but it is true: there is a difference between assisting suicide and assisting death.

I have never thought of my personal rights and my personal authorship. But my own thoughts available to everyone, have now been used by everyone, and I was accused of plagiarism for explaining these.

Therefore we have some ten years left in which to make up before the damage we have set in motion and maintain to the planet is irreparable. If people like to catch me on words, let them.

Being and Time, part 2: On 'mineness'
jaapdenhaan's comment 17 Jun 09, 11:35am
Being and time are the most universal concepts, and their applications are endless. I once had a universal experience of the timeless, which was both personal and impersonal (and I may call the alpha and the omega), and very hard to describe, because the timeless is no branch of time that conditions the mind. Since then my inner awe has been reflected in outer ridicule.
The omega is not less authentic than the alpha.
Everyone who relaxes already has a sense of the timeless. I have never tried to disturb this in people as they did (me), and as they do the underlying PLAN on earth as I have seen it. One cannot compete with infinity as it is implemented by those who know it, except in destroying the planet. I had not imagined people would go so far in wanting to play against me and trying to win. But they have. And now they are faced with possible annihilation. And we have no time left.
As soon as we think, we are in time, unless we rise above the mind to what is called the world of causes. Being in touch with that plane is meditation.
Things relate like people. Just as there is they (we excepting me) rather than I, there is something rather than nothing. Only when we speak of they excepting me, mine comes into play. Time comes into play when we try to surpass being, which is quite impossible; it causes conflict, it is an illusion. In modern English everyone has their responsibility rather than his (her), and no one has any. I think everything needs to be more drastically democratised than we.
Everything has their own responsibility.
I mean this as a joke. But people have been identified with things and their suspense, and therefore everyone doesn't have our own.
Scared silly over climate change
jaapdenhaan's comment 16 Jun 09, 12:51pm
People, educating, are scared silly already themselves, both scared and silly (two qualifications of cowardice), but silly in the first place; they just found a motive and a justification for what they are not. That fear expresses as denial, while the test is fully on us. They (may I please excuse myself from this club) are silly because they are thinking mainly about how they want to die, and have a chance, not even about the fact that. And they like to die in their sleep, and with their children in their arms. It shows that the culture they have developed is based on a similar death wish. And it is of course criminal to burden children with the last spasm of consciousness and organic life in our body. But once again: it reveals a real cowardice related to climate both mental and physical. Recommended (1)
Speaking frankly in Cairo
jaapdenhaan's comment 04 Jun 09, 5:47pm
Egypt has been unchanged for many centuries in its forgotten past. Only Akhnaton (who - it seems - had a multi-ethnic background, like Obama) brought renewal. But he had too many daughters. People even cannot see one inch beyond the veil of Egypt into a more remote antiquity, or assume anything useful. In Egypt it is where they all get lost. And Egypt cherishes its symbolic mission proudly in that respect. And therefore we expect the world will exist for another four thousand years just as it is, because it has already existed for so long. But it is not always good to imitate history to such a degree, or we will be really lost forever. Recommended (10)

Russia can sway Iran's nuclear ambitions
My comment 25 Sep 09, 3:20pm
Iran has proposed to ban all nuclear arms from the world. The nuclear bomb is the most destructive weapon ever manufactured, and so many countries today possess it that a major war would mean the destruction of all life; the whole planet would be wasted. The masters of wisdom, who themselves have access to a higher world, which is not the pulpit, are in this - our - one to help us understand this very real confrontation is no coincidence, and no sectarian blackmail, and they say that people would have to reincarnate in regressive circumstances fitting their fall on a different planet far off, and restart a nearly endless path back to the light.

Promises of immortality

Should a 250-year-old physical teen be treated as an adult and served alcohol or not? This among other things is a problem to the masters of wisdom who are now in the world with Maitreya. Strangely the only thing by which they can prove their wisdom to the sceptics is by their immortality. But this evidence can only come by means of ID cards or so, if they are registered somewhere. And it is not wise for the sceptics to imitate them, in this way.

Religion as well as religious sects are always suspected, yet there are many sects that are not religious, but operate in that manner, which is vague to most people. There is an element of blackmail in education, not just in religious education. Religion still has an understanding of the essential meaning of forgiveness and giving, which non-religious people often miss, so they are paranoid about intimidation, outside which they don't understand the world. And this is reflected in our world. It has been said: Love is giving and forgiving, not getting and forgetting. This is what children should be aware of. This often they don't have to even be taught. But they should not be dissuaded.

I am of course just an amateur, but what kind of life can we expect? While I should have been dead already, and several friends in those circumstances committed suicide, I realised that the few per cent you have left must be used. One will be discriminated for this, but one learns what society is really like. Why? I hear the word love. Those who say they have given me that tried to bury me alive. Their advice is always dangerous, and their rights ought to be limited as much as possible.

Being and Time, part 2: On 'mineness'
jaapdenhaan's comment 17 Jun 09, 11:35am
Being and time are the most universal concepts, and their applications are endless. I once had a universal experience of the timeless, which was both personal and impersonal (and I may call the alpha and the omega), and very hard to describe, because the timeless is no branch of time that conditions the mind. Since then my inner awe has been reflected in outer ridicule.
The omega is not less authentic than the alpha.
Everyone who relaxes already has a sense of the timeless. I have never tried to disturb this in people as they did (me), and as they do the underlying PLAN on earth as I have seen it. One cannot compete with infinity as it is implemented by those who know it, except in destroying the planet. I had not imagined people would go so far in wanting to play against me and trying to win. But they have. And now they are faced with possible annihilation. And we have no time left.
As soon as we think, we are in time, unless we rise above the mind to what is called the world of causes. Being in touch with that plane is meditation.
Things relate like people. Just as there is they (we excepting me) rather than I, there is something rather than nothing. Only when we speak of they excepting me, mine comes into play. Time comes into play when we try to surpass being, which is quite impossible; it causes conflict, it is an illusion. In modern English everyone has their responsibility rather than his (her), and no one has any. I think everything needs to be more drastically democratised than we.
Everything has their own responsibility.
I mean this as a joke. But people have been identified with things and their suspense, and therefore everyone doesn't have our own.
Scared silly over climate change

People, educating, are scared silly already themselves, both scared and silly (two qualifications of cowardice), but silly in the first place; they just found a motive and a justification for what they are not. That fear expresses as denial, while the test is fully on us. They (may I please excuse myself from this club) are silly because they are thinking mainly about how they want to die, and have a chance, not even about the fact that. And they like to die in their sleep, and with their children in their arms. It shows that the culture they have developed is based on a similar death wish. And it is of course criminal to burden children with the last spasm of consciousness and organic life in our body. But once again: it reveals a real cowardice related to climate both mental and physical. Recommended (1)

Egypt has been unchanged for many centuries in its forgotten past. Only Akhnaton (who - it seems - had a multi-ethnic background, like Obama) brought renewal. But he had too many daughters. People even cannot see one inch beyond the veil of Egypt into a more remote antiquity, or assume anything useful. In Egypt it is where they all get lost. And Egypt cherishes its symbolic mission proudly in that respect. And therefore we expect the world will exist for another four thousand years just as it is, because it has already existed for so long.

The Nobel Peace Prize for Obama at this point indebts him and is a bit embarrassing. But he hinted at this already himself, which moderates the shame. It was after all not his own initiative. And rejecting it would enhance the embarrassment. He may have already done more than we are aware of. Yet our attention is now turned to the nature of the Nobel Prize. Obama was given the peace prize for being black and peaceful, obviously such an achievement for a man of his colour that he deserved it. We have to understand we are talking about Scandinavia. In most Northern countries we see this type of compassion.

I think the sentence on Polanski couldn’t be that terrible. He will not get the death penalty whose ghost is yet everywhere in the law as a shadow. But why did he flee? Perhaps he disagreed. Did he flee a sentence, or did he flee a system? Despite the many millions of deaths I have counted as a result of the devious exploitation of the victim role, I am still surprised at the mass ignorance concerning women. Polanski must have been extremely shy or very lonely, which I can fully understand, seeing the monsters in their short skirts. If you ignore them, you are even a greater criminal.

Climate Change Is on the Map, and in the Spotlight

Nearly all scientists agree that the climate has changed by human action, and the other way round. Better health care without paying attention to climate change is folly. Radioactivity plays a bigger role than believed. What is most influenced by pollution in general is the hormonal system. The increase in production of estrogen has been remarkable, this is not only true about women, as we can see from the picture society gives. The increase in smell, a particularly female sense, is also marked. This is seen as an advancement, but may very well be at the cost of other senses, such as sight, and common sense. That’s why many people don’t see this.

In December 2008 Share International said that in the near future a large, bright star would appear in the sky visible throughout the world, night and day, as a sign of the first interview with the Christ, not by his real name, Maitreya, on a major US television program. Since then sightings of such a mysterious star have been reported around the world; many were sent to Share.
I have seen a star in the sky in December I gathered was Venus. It was perhaps five to ten times brighter, and especially bigger than any star I have seen, but I was not interested in proof. In August I saw a star that one night was sinking, the next day rising. I then happened to visit the countryside, and being outside I saw it again at night. I went to show it to my mother, but it suddenly seemed to have disappeared as I searched, as if I was a fool, and then it reappeared from nothing, it was unbelievable. It went on decreasing and increasing several times, and even disappeared twice more again in a clear sky to return to its original intensity, as we watched. It is worth having a look. I have been fooled.

Bush Weighs In on His Legacy

A theory based on the qualities of an object will prevent its being unfolded according to its objects; and he who arranges topics in reference to their causes will cease to value them according to their results. Thus the jurisprudence of every nation will show that, when law becomes a science and a system, it ceases to be justice. The errors into which a blind devotion to principles of classification has led the common law will be seen by observing how often the legislature has been obliged to come forward to restore the equity its scheme had lost.

I would. The concept is alright. There may be a moral. Italian food is better for some women than prayer or love. Indian prayer is better than food. I would pray before eating although. Millions in the world are begging for food. The food is there, yet millions starve. America discards 40 per cent of the food it makes, while a billion are hungry. Food is based on the same taboo as sex. There is no natural relating in either anymore. Indirectly we eat our own people. In that way New Guinea would have been a better decorum for the finale than Bali. Indeed cannibalism exists.

It isn't controversial enough, I guess.

Without a sense of eternity romance is limited. This awareness is often a bit late.

This star was later written to be a spacecraft. Since December 2008 sightings of the star have been reported from around the world, also in the media, and archived by Share, which has received hundreds of photographs of it; the spiral over Norway is said to be the same kind of manifestation as reported about one year ago.

Polanski's guilty plea to unlawful sex with a minor in 1977 is a juridical construction, but may not be the whole truth. Most people in this forum are outraged, and they express themselves well, it doesn't look like revenge, and in the circumstances their comments sound even slightly humorous, until after the third row, thinking what would happen if they were a tribunal, an idea on which essentially the law is based, and if they were wrong.
I think the sentence on Polanski couldn't be that terrible. He will not get the death penalty whose ghost is yet everywhere in the law as a shadow. But why did he flee? Perhaps he disagreed. Did he flee his sentence, or did he flee a system?
In the Middle Ages people were executed before the jubilating crowd that always felt cheated. By symbolic punishments the state came forward to their dissatisfaction, in a time of war. Today there is the media and there are not dozens but millions of people taking their places in the arena. They don't have to even walk, it is brought to them.
High penalties have come to Europe from the U.S. for quite minor offences meanwhile. And guards are everywhere to protect the shop.
Foreigners with a sense of justice who love the ideals of America even don't dare to go here.
Crime and punishment can become a vicious spiral of mediocrity on the one hand and the excess of war on the other hand; not only but especially in their combination they are the banality in which we are involved.
That is why Maitreya returned to the world in 1977, and his advice is awaited on television.

There is a bravado among the mountain police that 'we always get our man'. Hearing this case come up after so many years still makes the outsider wonder what is its underlying (under lying) logic. In any case we are convinced that the prosecutor, and not only he, has been parading Polanski, and that whatever the lies, objectivity is tainted, and Polanski may have been kidnapped by a film, but has lived in exile for nothing. And now in giving asylum to the refugee, the U.S. wants him straight in its prison. Instead of acting on behalf of the law, one has assumed the role of actor in a Polanski movie, in his likeness. 1977 was a legendary year, just as 1988.

Before the Law
A man from the country seeks the law and wishes to gain entry to the law through a doorway. The doorkeeper tells the man that he cannot go through at the present time. The man asks if he can ever go through, and the doorkeeper says that is possible. The man waits by the door for years, bribing the doorkeeper with everything he has. The doorkeeper accepts the bribes, but tells the man that he accepts them "so you won't think you've neglected something." The man waits at the door until he is about to die. Right before his death, he asks the doorkeeper why even though everyone seeks the law, no one else has come in all the years. The doorkeeper answers "No one else could gain admittance here, because this entrance was meant solely for you. I am now going to shut it."

The rule of law of California is in a crisis. That Polanski still would have to pay for what has been - as suggested - selected from among his many crimes, is a bit absurd, and is a flaw. It is also traumatising to the victim, whose reason transcends her indignation more diligent than the law. Polanski calls forth sinister images, and also intensifies prejudice, which is part of his work, and his life, his life's work, a mission which has more often gone over his head. Guilt is a philosophical question here.
I don't know much about Polanski and his films, so I cannot be a supporter, and I never brought them up in a talk, but they were brought up several times to me by girls, I now understand better why - a thirteen-year old girl had involuntary sex with the director who was known as an adult - but I always knew that his personal life and films have something in common. Crime is intertwined everywhere, especially in our feelings and thoughts, and nobody is innocent.
I once spoke with a woman, and I had an impression of something strange, which I asked her could relate to anything from her experience. I cannot assure you it is true, but from the detail I mentioned, she remembered that she visited a house for sale in Los Angeles, with her family who wanted to buy it at the time, which was next door to the one where among others Polanski's wife Sharon Tate was murdered afterwards, and that she had had a very strange feeling there. She was only a child then. Her parents haven't bought the house. Shortly afterwards it seems the killers went through the garden of that house to enter.
Murderers often have a desire to go through my backyard, by the way, I don't know why.

Racism is a completely overrated and rationalized issue since a long time, the term is completely inflated.

So whether something or somebody is racist depends solely on the degree of shame that is speculated upon. In such a way a kind of melting pot has been developed of cowardice and shame.

What I see looks authentic, and it is symbolic. The frog symbolizes a number of things. It was always used by witches as a familiar. And in this way Kahlo identified with it. In general the frog stands for transformation, healing and metamorphosis, but it has also been associated with fertility and rebirth in ancient cultures. The frog is said to understand what it is like to undergo growing pains, and the Celts believed it represented curative or healing powers which in fact have been recently studied and confirmed by science. In this connection, the frog was intuitively perceived by Frida Kahlo who suffered significant physical trouble, injury and pain in her life.
August 27, 2009 story
The frog hops, and is a symbol of a leap of faith and of a quantum leap. The toad is a frog, but one that doesn't hop, and doesn't write in Spanish. As a familiar of the witch, a frog was seen as a symbol of the devil, like the snake, which is not a familiar of the witch although. A whole Secret Doctrine was written by Blavatsky to disprove the demonic quality of the snake, it says the snake is a symbol of wisdom in the East, and that Jesus spoke about snakes of wisdom. The pharaohs wore a uraeus, a symbol of the snake, on their forehead. And two snakes around a dagger are a medical emblem. By the way, the term pharaoh was first used in relation to Akhenaten, and means something like house.
Only those who make no step at all, can make no missteps. Under inspiration one does things that can't be reasoned, less so by the audience, that often wakes up by these, and has caused them. I hope this will be our understanding. If this is part of the heritage of Edward, he will be pleased.

Kandinsky was greatly influenced by Theosophy, and believed in the coming of a New Age. In a way he created a precedent for Benjamin Creme, a contemporary painter who says the Time of Revelation is now, a hundred years after Blue Mountain was painted. One of the themes of Kandinsky was the Apocalypse. In this way he helped to unveil, not only reveal but relieve, the work of the apostle John (a mahatma, KH, now back in the common world with the teacher Maitreya) in an undogmatic way. Kandinsky interpreted various tales in the Bible as archetypes.
This kind of thing worried me already when the war on terror started, this apart from the expected loss of human lives, just looking from the interest of the U.S., which still hasn't been rediscovered.

Next to this there is no inevitable relationship between opposing communism and being a man of peace. I met someone with a Tibetan Mastiff who had been there to investigate the dog's background although who said the people there are too afraid and damaged.
In combination with 'On the Origin of Species' of Charles Darwin zoos only make plausible that they are good enough for people. Haven't you noticed?
There is this story that Jamshetji Tata, who was refused entrance into an English hotel in the 19th century because he was a native, built the Taj Mahal hotel, and after it was completed, there was a sign at the entrance, a curse, like ''Mad dogs and Englishmen not allowed", in the same style the English hotel forbade "Dogs and Indians". The story further says that the sign was taken away after inquiry from Lord Curzon, the British Viceroy, who ordered the other sign to be taken away as well, from the English hotel. Still, guests have not always behaved.

Writing to Vermeer is the option.
I only disagree with more nuclear reactors, proposed by Obama, as an alternative source of energy. Before a technology of light is developed, nuclear energy is not the best argument. Einstein, one stone, ironically is still seen as synonymous to splitting the building stone of matter, but he is no dogma and doesn't have the final say either. Thus spoke Koot Hoomi.
Mahatma KH is concerned about the following: the environment is an (even) more urgent issue than the economy; not very many people realize the damage to our natural habitat. One should ask if the earth can even be still saved and by what means, immediately. We must take care that nature is the essence of all future development, and we will recover to our own.
Long-sought war crimes suspect caught in Serbia: Radovan Karadzic is accused of genocide against Bosnia's Muslim population.
If I have a look at him, let us hope at least that this captured man is the real Karadzic and not, as was the case with the captured Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, a tragic double who was allegedly brainwashed by drugs to such an extent in the 'war on drugs (terror)' that he lost sense of his own identity and really believed that he was Saddam. He was executed anyway. The process involving systematic hypnosis was perfected during the Second World War by the intelligence agencies of all the major nations, especially by the CIA, FBI, the Russian KGB and the German Gestapo.

This rise could well be temporary. Those who have stood behind unbridled rule of market forces having caused the recent collapse were stunned at the outcome of their own making, but are just trying to recuperate in the same way.
