grantlawrence Roswell and Beyond

This blogger will be taking a break for about a week. I will be going to Roswell New Mexico for their annual UFO festival and then it’s off to Joshua Tree California. (See Links to Some of My Favorite Posts Below)
My writing and work is devoted to raising consciousness through increasing awareness and understanding. As many that have read my work know, I write and post on a variety of topics that often deal with the social, the political, the metaphysical, the spiritual, the psychological, the paranormal, and the environment. I try to expose frauds, liars, propagandists, and others that are out to detrimentally manipulate others.
As you also likely know, I have a great deal of interest in UFOs. I believe that a good understanding of the UFO subject would help people have a better understanding of the power structure that controls their lives and much of the world.
Strangely many people ignore the millions of UFO reports worldwide, and sometimes even their own eyes, to believe the Big Lie given by governments that lie continually as a matter of governing. The United States, and other governments of the world, tell their sheeple that there is nothing there. It is all a joke, a figment of wild imaginations, and the work of pranksters.
The joke is that people still believe and trust in their governments.
Roswell is a seminal event of humanity.
An event in which extra-terrestrial visitors crashed into a desert. An event which caused the governments of the world to perfect their propaganda and conditioning of the masses in order for the truth to remain hidden. An event which helped usher in the National Security State and the Military Industrial Complex. It was an event that should have helped revolutionize our consciousness but instead it helped contribute to the further enslavement of our minds.
Roswell was and is the greatest story never fully told. Someday the truth of Roswell, the Rendlesham Forest Incident, the Shag Harbor crash, the Kecksburg Incident, the Phoenix Lights, and other important UFO events will become known by nearly all people. That is if there is a future for humanity.
The UFO phenomenon offers some hope. Here we have clearly advanced extraterrestrial beings that have been able to survive through time. Humans have to expand their spiritual and mental faculties quickly in order to survive the ignorance and the greed of their ruling elite. The power structure is presently killing off much of the planet from the consequences of misunderstood technology and silly governmental policies. But as we can see from our Alien brothers, we can survive.
It is likely that we are being visited by a variety of ET. They all have different agendas and reasons for being here. From the Tall Blonds to the Alien Grays, ETs have a variety of shapes and sizes and come from a variety of places. There may also be hybrids. It is highly likely that Aliens are inter-dimensional and can even travel the inner space of mind.
The story of Roswell has opened up the minds and the imaginations of many millions that have investigated it. It has helped them realize that our present understanding is quite limited and that there is so much more. It has also given them a clue as to what is actually happening beyond the curtain.
The Roswell incident has captured imaginations. But Roswell, for those that are open to the truth, has also helped free minds.

grantlawrence ‘Decontamination Stations’ Being Set Up as Hundreds Get Sick on Oily Beaches

By Grant Lawrence
Amazingly beachgoers have been allowed to go swimming on the toxic beaches of Florida.
….Dr. John Lanza, director of Escambia County Health Department, said the reason for leaving the decision up to beachgoers on whether to swim is because the oil situation on the beach is “very dynamic.”
“We have a situation that changes from one hour to the next, from one tide to the next, from wave to wave, from one wind direction to another,” he said. …(source: the journal report)
But the EPA has a solution. They have set up ‘decontamination stations’ on the beaches to help those that get sick.
No this is not a joke.
Or at least I don’t think so.
Already hundreds of people are reporting getting physically sick from their beach exposure. There is also no way of knowing how many people will encounter cancer and other serious illness from their oily exposures later on.
But the solution is to create decontamination stations to protect the beach going public. This just goes to show you how the government and EPA is criminal in their neglect in protecting the public from environmental toxic exposures.
Casey Nunez of Louisiana gives his account of the oil washing ashore and discusses his health after visiting the beaches in Florida.(video posted at the journal report)

As I and other astute observers have observed. The violence in Toronto was likely being instigated by the agent provocateurs of the government. At nearly every major world economic summit government and intelligence agents are used to engage in violence so that an excuse can be found to break up the protests.

In many parts of the world they have evidently not been made into zombies from mind and mood altering drugs, television and other forms of entertainment, consumerism, and fearful conditioning.
People in various parts of the world, unlike Americans, are getting upset over fascism and corporatism disguised as freedom and democracy.
Millions of Italians have taken to the streets over the destruction of their lives to bail out the rich.

But here in the United States the Congress is looking to raise the age for collecting social security to 70.
….House Republican Leader John Boehner said in an interview with the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review out today that he would back raising the Social Security retirement age to 70 for those who will not retire for another 20 years….(source: cbs news)
The good consumers of the United States will likely be brainwashed into accepting this unacceptable attack on what is left of America’s torn social safety net.
In the land of the free and the home of the brave, Americans for the most part accept trillions to Banksters and over half of their tax dollar going to war for empire. Americans don’t even seem to mind billions going to big corporations in the form of corporate welfare. They do, however, get very upset when the poor get welfare.
Americans have been made into credit serfs and property-less peasants.
Americans don’t seem to mind all that much. They are clueless and seem to like it that way.

Fidel Castro Warns of Iran War and Nuke Nightmare to Follow
Cuban Leader Fidel Castro writes of a nuclear nightmare that may result from the US and Israeli intention to board Iranian ships in the Gulf. He says that Iran will not allow it and thus missiles will fly.
He wonders whether Russia and China will be able to avoid the war. Castro also wonders on what will be the fate of humanity. He says the United States will be least able to sustain themselves after the nukes fly and will collapse.
Castro doesn’t know if humanity could survive the terrible destruction and environmental damage that will result from nuclear war.
Castro has been labeled as a dictator and thug. But he has had to deal with nearly a half century of attempts by the US to over throw him. He has also escaped numerous CIA attempts on his life. He obviously has some good survival skills.
His sense and survival instincts are telling him that there may be a war with Iran soon and it may spell the end for much of humanity.

Reflections by comrade Fidel
KNOWING THE TRUTH TIMELY
….Obama has committed to attend the quarterfinals match on July 2, if his country’s team makes it to that stage. He supposedly knows better than anyone that the quarterfinals will not be contested because very serious developments will take place before that; or at least he should know.
Last Friday, June 25, an international press agency known for the attention to details in its reports, published a statement by the “…Navy Commander of the elite Corps of the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution General Ali Fadavi…,” warning “…that if the United States and its allies inspect Iranian ships in international waters ‘they will have their response in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz.’”
The information was taken from the local news agency Mehr of Iran.
According to the press dispatch, said news agency reported that “Fadavi added that ‘the Navy of the Revolutionary Guardians currently has hundreds of vessels equipped with missile launchers.’”
The information, produced approximately at the same time of what Granma published or perhaps before, seemed at some points an exact copy of the Reflections elaborated on Thursday June 24th and ran by that paper on Friday 25th.
The coincidence can be explained by the simple use of a logical reasoning. I was completely unaware of what the Iranian local agency had published.
I have absolutely no doubt that as soon as the American and Israeli warships are deployed –alongside the rest of the American military vessels positioned off the Iranian coasts– and they try to inspect the first merchant ship from that country, there will be a massive launching of missiles in both directions. At that moment exactly the terrible war will begin. It’s not possible to estimate how many vessels will be sunk or from what country.
Knowing the truth timely is the most important thing for our people….MORE
grantlawrence FDA Warns Antibiotics in Farm Animals a Risk to Humans
Image by Farm Sanctuary via Flickr
The FDA is issuing a warning on the overuse of antibiotics in factory farms.
The negligent use of antibiotics and hormones in farm animals results from the terrible conditions that are found in factory farms. Animals get sick from over crowding and maltreatment. The factory farmers must overdose the animals with antibiotics and hormones to get them to survive and to have them big and fat for the slaughter.
This terrible and inhumane treatment of animals spreads to humans by ingesting the meat. Humans suffer from the terror of these factory farms by eating the residue of the antibiotics and homones injected into the animals.
It is something called a food chain and it goes to show that our deeds ultimately come back to us, often in unpleasant ways.

FDA: Antibiotics in Livestock Affects Human Health
Agency Suggests Limits on Antibiotics in Animals Because of Rise of Drug-Resistant Bacteria
– Giving animals antibiotics in order to increase food production is a threat to public health and should be stopped, the FDA said today.
The federal agency says it has the power to ban the practice, but it’s starting by issuing “draft guidance” in hopes the food industry will make voluntary changes. After a 60-day public comment period, the guidance will become FDA policy.
The guidance is based on two principles:
- Antibiotics should be given to food animals only to protect their health.
- All animal use of antibiotics should be overseen by veterinarians.
“We are seeing the emergence of multidrug-resistant pathogens,” FDA Deputy Commissioner Joshua Sharfstein, MD, said at a news conference. “FDA believes overall weight of evidence supports the conclusion that using medically important antimicrobial drugs for production purposes is not appropriate.”
Sharfstein said it’s a public health issue when antibiotics important for human health are given to animals on a massive scale. Such use encourages the growth of drug-resistant bacteria that can cause hard-to-treat human disease.
Like humans, animals sometimes need antibiotics to fight or prevent specific infections. The FDA says it has no problem with this.
But producers regularly give antibiotics to food animals because it makes them gain weight faster or makes them gain more weight from the food they eat. This is the practice the FDA wants to end….

He has been described as the “Happiest man in the World.” Youngey Mingyur Rinpoche, a Tibetan Buddhist Monk, gained that distinction from a series of scientific tests done on his brain.
Rinpoche describes himself as a “short red guinea pig.”
….In order to pursue his mission of understanding and transmitting the values of meditation, Rinpoche submitted himself to a series of fMRI tests at Wisconsin University. “After that, they told me I was totally crazy” he joked. What the laboratory tests found, however, had dramatic implications for the scientific community.
Working with the Waisman Laboratory for Brain Research, Mingyur underwent brain imaging scans to test the effects of meditation. The studies found that the brain changed significantly during meditation. “The result”, said Rinpoche, was that my gamma synchronicity was very high. They told me they had never seen this level of synchronicity before.” Gamma synchronicity is the synchronicity of gamma rhythms that represent different populations of neurons “working together” in a network, in order to carry out cognitive functions.
The gamma activity, increased by meditation, remained high even after meditation had ceased.…(source: huffington post)
Beside the feelings of peace and compassion meditation brings, it has been reported that meditation physically alters the brain. Meditation also has been found to physically alter a person’s genetic structure to protect against disease.

Although Rinpoche is a Buddhist, his main message is on the value of meditation. He wants people to try it so that they can make peace with their thoughts and emotions and have a happier, more insightful, and productive life.

grantlawrence Hurricane Alex to Delay Oil Clean-Up–BP Contemplates Back-Up Plan
Image via Wikipedia
By Grant Lawrence
Hurricane Alex is putting a stop to oil clean-up efforts in the Gulf.
.….Controlled burns of oil on the ocean, flights spraying dispersant chemicals and booming operations were all stopped, said Coast Guard Petty Officer Kelly Parker. However, BP Plc’s oil-capture and relief well drilling continued at the site of the leak….(source: yahoo news)
There has been no word on how long the clean-up effort will be disabled. Earlier reports had the effort stalled for 2 weeks if a hurricane hit. But it appears the storm may not be on target to hit the heart of the clean-up operations in the Gulf.

Tropical Storm Alex on It’s Way to Gulf? Could Stop Oil Clean Up Efforts for 2 Weeks
In the mean time, BP is talking about a back up plan should the relief well fail. Company officials are saying that it is a near certainty that the relief wells will do the trick. But it is evidently better to be safe than sorry. Unfortunately, after 70 something days of environmental destruction that strategy should have been implemented before the disaster.
So what is the back up plan?
….BP and government officials are now talking about a long-term containment plan to pump the oil to an existing platform should the relief well effort fail. While such a failure is considered highly unlikely, the contingency plan is the latest sign that with this most vexing of engineering challenges — snuffing a gusher 5,000 feet down in the gulf — nothing is a sure thing.
Kent Wells, a BP senior vice president in charge of subsea containment and capping efforts, said Monday that the first relief well was “progressing very well” and on target to intercept the runaway well more than three miles below the surface of the gulf.
“It’s not a matter so much of if, as when,” Mr. Wells said of the effort, which will involve pumping heavy mud and cement through the relief well into the damaged well to plug the damaged well permanently…..(source: new york times)
Bill Clinton has said that perhaps we should blow the thing up. He says the Navy could do it.
Bill Clinton: Navy Could Probably Stop The BP Oil Gusher
At any rate, it is one disaster after another in the Gulf.
But that is the price humanity has to pay for allowing greed to rule. Perhaps after even more environmental catastrophes, nuclear wars, and eco-system collapses humanity might decide there is a better way.
By then it will be too late.
grantlawrence Wikileaks Founder Assange Gives a Hint on ‘Orwellian’ Bombshell
Image via Wikipedia
By Grant Lawrence
There has been a lot of speculation regarding what Wikileaks founder Julian Assange is going to release next. The information is said to be so explosive that Assange was hiding out and the Pentagon was looking for him.
Some like the Pentagon Papers’ leaker Daniel Ellsberg have issued warnings that Assange’s life may be in danger. The Pentagon, it has been reported, was looking to question Assange.
Julian Assange confirms that he does have an Afghan civilian massacre video. But this is not the really big news. Previously, it was thought that the massacre video was the reason that the Pentagon wanted to question Assange.
Assange says “I can give an analogy. If there had been mass spying that had affected many, many people and organizations and the details of that mass spying were released then that is something that would reveal that the interests of many people had been abused.” (source: abc.net.au)
According to Assange, the explosive ‘Wikileak’ would be of the type similar to the Echelon system. For those that aren’t aware of that system. It is a secret, or was a secret, program that was engaged in mass spying on the citizens of the US, Australia, New Zealand, Canadia, and Britain. Echelon involved the gathering of mass amounts of electronic information and putting in a database for analysis.
….Intelligence monitoring of people in the area covered by the AUSCANZUKUS security agreement has caused concern. Some critics claim the system is being used not only to search for terrorist plots, drug dealers’ plans, and political and diplomatic intelligence but also for large-scale commercial theft, international economic espionage and invasion of privacy. British journalist Duncan Campbell and New Zealand journalist Nicky Hager asserted in the 1990s that the United States was exploiting ECHELON traffic for industrial espionage, rather than military and diplomatic purposes.[10]….(source: wikipedia)
The excuse for the intrusive electronic spying on citizens by the government is that it is needed to keep us free. But it would seem that an intrusive spying system without a warrant or judicial review doesn’t contribute to freedom but is merely an expression of fascism.
If Assange has information on the vast monitoring of people all over the world. It wouldn’t be surprising. But perhaps just what the military industrial complex is monitoring might be the troubling part.
grantlawrence G-8/G-20 Summit Decides You Will Continue to Pay for Bad Bankster Bets
Image via Wikipedia
Grant Lawrence
The G-8/G-20 Summit in Toronto is over.
The meetings cost well over a billion dollars for the security. I guess the meetings were well worth the cost.
Why?
Because the political puppets of the corporate and financial elite, called leaders, that gathered in Toronto were able to come to a momentous decision.
What was that?
That the cost of the trillions of dollars given to the Banksters to bail them out for making risky, bad bets will be picked up by the citizens of their countries. That means that the G-8/G-20 countries have promised to cut their deficits by up to half by 2013.
Yep, we need a little belt tightening.
That means more taxes on the good consumers of the world, less social benefits and programs, and less government infrastructure and rebuilding projects. But you can be sure that this belt tightening will do nothing to interfere with corporate welfare and war spending.
Furthermore, the G-8/G-20 political puppets decided that the Banksters that made the bad bets will not have to pay taxes on their transactions to help cover the cost of their bail outs.
I know, as common consumers we have to pay taxes on our transactions. Anything we buy, we have to pay a tax on it. But the bailed out financial institutions are somehow more special. They will be able to avoid taxes on their transactions.
Naomi Kline author of ‘The Rise of Disaster Capitalism’ and other works was in Toronto. She had these observations on a recent Democracy Now interview.
“….But my feeling, when I went by the Convention Center after all the leaders had gone home, was that this was the real crime scene, not those shattered storefronts, but what actually happened at the summit on Sunday night, when the world leaders issued their final communiqué. And what that communiqué said was that there wouldn’t even be a measly tax on banks to help pay for the global crisis that they created and also prevent future crises. There wouldn’t be a financial transaction tax, which could create a fund for social programs and for action on climate change. There wouldn’t be a real action to eliminate subsidies for fossil fuel companies that have also created so many social and environmental costs around the world, as we see with the BP disaster.
But what there would be was very decisive action on deficit reductions. These leaders announced that they would halve their deficits by 2013, which is shocking and brutal cut. You know, I don’t believe—maybe some of the leaders intend on keeping—making good on this promise, but, on the other hand, they can hide behind this promise as the excuse to do what a lot of them want to do anyway, and say, you know, “We have no choice; we made this commitment.” But so, just to put this in perspective, if the US were to cut its deficit, its projected 2010 deficit, in half by 2013, that would be a cut of $780 billion, you know, if there were no tax increases in that period. So, you know, that’s why I wrote the piece that came out this morning in Canada’s national newspaper The Globe and Mail, that what actually happened at the summit is that the global elites just stuck the bill for their drunken binge with the world’s poor, with the people who are most vulnerable, because that is really who’s going to pay, when they balance their budgets on the backs of healthcare programs, pension programs, unemployment programs. And also, the other thing that they did at this G8 summit, that preceded the G20 summit, is admit that they were not meeting their commitments to doubling aid to Africa, once again, because of the debt that was created by saving the banks….“(source: democracy now)
A tax, like a Tobin Tax, on banking and financial institutions could wipe out the deficits and pay for those Bankster Bail Outs. But it would mean that the corporate and financial interests that got bailed out would have to pay a little of their vast resources back. This was a bad idea according to the G-8/G-20 puppets in Toronto.
A better idea, according to the stooges in Toronto, is for the people to pay for something that they didn’t cause and didn’t benefit from.
