Urgent:Citizen action needed

Please call WHITE HOUSE and demand a Veto of this dangerous bill

From Jennifer Bendery of Huffington Post comes an update on this incredible legislation moving far too fast to follow.

Please call WHITE HOUSE and demand a Veto of this dangerous bill. (202) 456-1414 Don't wait. Do it now.

WASHINGTON -- The Senate voted Tuesday to keep a controversial provision to let the military detain terrorism suspects on U.S. soil and hold them indefinitely without trial -- prompting White House officials to reissue a veto threat.

The measure, part of the massive National Defense Authorization Act, was also opposed by civil libertarians on the left and right. But 16 Democrats and an independent joined with Republicans to defeat an amendment by Sen. Mark Udall (D-Colo.) that would have killed the provision, voting it down with 61 against, and 37 for it.

"I'm very, very, concerned about having U.S. citizens sent to Guantanamo Bay for indefinite detention," said Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), one of the Senate's most conservative members.

Rand's top complaint is that a terrorism suspect would get just one hearing where the military could assert that the person is a suspected terrorist -- and then they could be locked up for life, without ever formally being charged. The only safety valve is a waiver from the secretary of defense.

"It's not enough just to be alleged to be a terrorist," Paul said, echoing the views of the American Civil Liberties Union. "That's part of what due process is -- deciding, are you a terrorist? I think it's important that we not allow U.S. citizens to be taken."

Democrats who were also concerned about liberties compared the military policing of Americans to the detention of Americans in internment camps during World War II.

"Congress is essentially authorizing the indefinite imprisonment of American citizens, without charge," said Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), who offered another amendment -- which has not yet gotten a vote -- that she said would correct the problem. "We are not a nation that locks up its citizens without charge."

Backers of military detention of Americans -- a measure crafted by Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.) -- came out swinging against Udall's amendment on the Senate floor earlier Tuesday.

"The enemy is all over the world. Here at home. And when people take up arms against the United States and [are] captured within the United States, why should we not be able to use our military and intelligence community to question that person as to what they know about enemy activity?" Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said.

"They should not be read their Miranda Rights. They should not be given a lawyer," Graham said. "They should be held humanely in military custody and interrogated about why they joined al Qaeda and what they were going to do to all of us."

In criticizing the measure, White House officials said that it would cause confusion and interfere with a counterterrorism effort that has been remarkably successful since Sept. 11, 2001 -- across two administrations.

"It is likely that implementing such procedures would inject significant confusion into counterterrorism operations," the White House argued in a Nov. 17 statement.

Further, it contended:

This unnecessary, untested, and legally controversial restriction of the President's authority to defend the Nation from terrorist threats would tie the hands of our intelligence and law enforcement professionals. Moreover, applying this military custody requirement to individuals inside the United States, as some Members of Congress have suggested is their intention, would raise serious and unsettled legal questions and would be inconsistent with the fundamental American principle that our military does not patrol our streets. We have spent ten years since September 11, 2001, breaking down the walls between intelligence, military, and law enforcement professionals; Congress should not now rebuild those walls and unnecessarily make the job of preventing terrorist attacks more difficult.

A White House official said the administration stands by the veto threat. "We take this very, very seriously," the official said.

Both FBI Director Robert Mueller and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper backed up the White House with letters sent to congressional leaders. Clapper echoed the charge that the measure creates uncertainty and added that it could prevent intelligence operatives from getting critical information from suspects.

And although the measure allows the secretary of defense to waive it, both Mueller and Clapper said that could prove unworkable in the real world.

Mueller added that it could even stop the FBI from investigating individuals who fall under the definitions of suspected terrorist in the measure.

The 2012 National Defense Authorization Act would authorize defense spending on military personnel, weapons and war. The first draft of the bill won support from both parties in Congress in October, passing out of the Senate Armed Services Committee with just Udall dissenting. A similar House bill allocating $690 billion for the Pentagon passed in May, without the controversial measure. It could be changed when the differing versions are merged, if Congress desires.

The detention provision whipped up a furor in both parties, with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) having already text delayed the vote over it.

The final vote showed bizarre fractures among Democrats, erasing the usual barriers between conservatives and liberals. The 16 who voted for the harsh detainee rules were Sens. Bob Casey (Pa.), Kent Conrad (N.D.), Kay Hagan (N.C.), Daniel Inouye (Hawaii), Herb Kohl (Wis.), Mary Landrieu (La.), Carl Levin (Mich.), Joe Manchin (W. Va.), Clair McCaskill (Mo.), Robert Menendez (N.J.), Ben Nelson (Neb.), Mark Pryor (Ark.), Jack Reed (R.I.), Jeanne Shaheen (N.H.), Debbie Stabenow (Mich.) and Sheldon Whitehouse (R.I.). National defense hawk and independent Sen. Joe Lieberman (Conn.) also voted in favor of the tougher language.

"It's one of those things where ... it's bipartisan on both sides. Levin's not on the same page as the White House. We've got our own internal differences; Paul and Kirk don't agree with Graham," said a senior GOP aide just before the vote. "Everybody's trying to do the right thing. There's just a difference of opinion."

Even though Paul was joined only by Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) on his side of the aisle, the issue was contentious at the Republicans' weekly caucus lunch.

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) emerged from the meeting -- where former Vice President Dick Cheney was in attendance -- saying his colleagues had "a spirited discussion" about Udall's amendment, and predicted nearly all Republicans would oppose the amendment, as they did.

Update 10:30 p.m.

Sen. Menendez later sought, and was granted, unanimous consent from the Senate to change his vote. He is now recorded as supporting the Udall amendment, with the final tally changed to 38 to 60.

Supplies and Support Pour into Occupy Wall Street from Every Corner of the US

Occupiers Launch Tumblr Website Today: Gallery of Personal Notes of Support from Farmers, Veterans, Grandparents and "Knitters for Occupy Wall St"

From www.occupywallst.org site:

Liberty Square, NY — Today we want to spotlight the tens of thousands of people from across the United States and around the world who are supporting the Occupy Wall Street movement by contributing blankets, clothing, food, money, and other needed supplies. The support has truly been overwhelming.

Over one month ago, hundreds, and then thousands, gathered in Liberty Square to protest unprecedented consolidation of wealth and power, plummeting household income, skyrocketing school debt, and a broken political system. In the weeks since, hundreds of thousands have rallied and occupied in cities and towns around the world. And people from every corner of the United States have sent donations of tarps, home baked pies, hand-knit mittens, and pizzas — with personal notes of solidarity and support.

OWS has compiled notes from supporters on a Tumblr site called Occupy Wall St. Care Packages

Please take a moment to visit the site you will find yourself within it. You will find renewed Hope about the strength of our People!

Message from Dr. Masaru Emoto

My suggestion to everyone:
June 11, 2011 will be two months from March 11th when the massive earthquake, massive tsunami and nuclear plant accident occurred.

It doesn’t seem to me that the disaster of this time was a mere disaster. I feel that it is the beginning of the catastrophe phenomenon that has been the subject among people in this past recent years. So, even though the reactor problem is once solved this time, it’s possible that new difficult problems will affect us one after another.

Come to think of it, the 9-11 attacks occurred on September 11th, 2001. We could say that, for the citizens of the planet earth, it was the first day when the catastrophe happened. And 10 years after 9-11 was March 11th 2011 when the second catastrophe affected us in my country, Japan.

Now I have a suggestion for all.

Let’s make 11th of each month “The Day of Prayer for the Peace on Earth” and let’s pray hand-in-hand all together for the peace on Earth.

At noon on the 11th, local time, please say the following words either, aloud or in your mind. Repeat three times as you put your hands together in a prayer position. Please offer your sincere prayer (pure vibration)

“The Grand Invocation” the word of prayer:

“Uchu no Mugen no Chikara ga Kori Kotte, Makoto no Daiwa no Miyo ga, Nari Natta.” (This means: The eternal power of the Universe has gathered itself to create the world with true and grand harmony.)

This is the Kotodama -spiritual power of words - that Dr. Nobuo Shioya created for peace on earth. Dr. Shioya is said to be the reincarnation of Laozi, philosopher of ancient China, and I highly respect him. He was an admirable medical doctor who served as a primary physician of the Empress, Showa Emperor’s wife”.
http://www.facts-are-facts.com/magazin/2-rejuvenation.ihtml

Dr. Shioya passed away about 5 years ago at the age of 106. While he was alive, he said to me that he was wishing that 10% of the whole people in the entire world would chant the Great Invocation. He was the last Japanese hsien (meaning enlighted person, mountain hermits) and devised these words since he was concerned that we would face the catastrophe.

So, let’s call out to people around you and chant the words of the Great Invocation on every 11th at noon to prepare for the catastrophe.

With love and gratitude,
Masaru Emoto

Magnetic Science healing

Magnetic field changes Part 2

All the information I am now receiving spiritually relates to changes in Earth's magnetic field. Gregg Braden has spoken for years about our connection to and the changes occurring with Earth's magnetic field:



We can certainly see profound changes with the Earth's weather in form of extreme precipitation or lack of it, earthquake activity and etc. But perhaps it is less noticeable to us to think about the more subtle and increasingly less than subtle changes within our own bodies and families.

By more subtle, I mean more easily attributable to other health causes or stress or anything else than the Earths magnetic field! Western medicine is scrambling a bit to make sense of the increase and onset of variety of symptoms and falling toward a wide spectrum from wisdom of not acting rashly to sporadic vast tests that disapprove nothing and medicine and more medicine that at times compounds the problems.

These conditions now include Migraines, more frequent headaches, Digestive troubles, Extreme malaise, Nervousness, Inflammation, Joint pain, Memory issues from mild to extreme, and many speech issues can all now be attributed to changes in Earths magnetic core.

The Speech issues are gathering more attention as they occur in the public eye:



This one made National news for weeks and was attributed to a complex migraine http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtQPr84posE&feature=related

Tom Kenyon has relayed messages from Spiritual group that calls themselves the Hathors for 8 years. His website is linked on blog roll to right here. In 2008 he relayed a message regarding the changes in Earths magnetic field & how it would begin to effect us emotionally & physically. For whatever reason after seeing this string of news personalities struggle to form words, I immediately recalled the message if not the detail of it. I went right to it and was astonished at what I read!


Another set of symptoms directly related to the perturbations of your magnetic field are distinct changes in how you hold short term memory—because memory is a function of the magnetics of your own nervous system and that of earth. Your brain processes information through the minute gravitational and non-gravitational fields of it’s own structure and it is affected directly by fluctuations in the earth’s magnetic field. And so you can expect an increase in short term memory anomalies. You may find yourself speaking a sentence and suddenly the words do not come to you or you mix up the words from their normal syntax. While in some cases this is the sign of a brain disorder, you will find this happening within the general populace at an increasing rate. Escalations in collective short-term memory glitches will lead humanity to a most novel situation. This situation is an opportunity or a curse, depending on how you work with it.

So how will you work with it? Tune in to the Earth! Get outside and get your bare feet on the ground. Breathe deeply outside and look up at the sky. Ground yourself with grounding meditations. Ask to vibrate with her in meditation and prayer. Chant & Hum to clear through vibrational debris. Sing or Laugh as often as you can as it is a natural attunement to your natural vibration as well as Mother Earths. Certainly do not discount medical ailments that occur that could be serious ones but also do not discount the degree to which we are connect to Magnetic field changes underway. We may be entering unknown territory. Do not let it be a curse. Stay light-hearted with it and let it be an opportunity to embracing the unknown that is all around you.

Magnetic field changes Part 1

The recent Earth quake in Japan on March 11th was one of the largest earthquakes ever recorded and triggered a massive 23-foot tsunami. The 9.0 magnitude offshore quake, the largest in Japan's history, was followed by hundreds of aftershocks.

The amount of quakes that are continuing to rumble are astonishing. 20+ A DAY...several above 6.0 daily! To see list of quakes http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Quakes/quakes_all.html


One of the causes being given for the Quake is the return of massive Solar Flares: The Japan quake occurred just 24 hours after a massive Solar flare hit Earth.

After four years without any X-flares, the sun has produced two of the most powerful blasts ever recorded in less than one month: Feb. 15th and March 9th.

According to NASA website Earth-orbiting satellites detected an X1.5-class explosion from behemoth sunspot on March 9th. March 10, a CME did strike a blow to Earth's magnetic field. This was a result of an M3 flare that occurred late on March 7, 2011.

According to NASA website March 9th ended with a powerful solar flare. Earth-orbiting satellites detected an X1.5-class explosion from behemoth sunspot 1166 around 2323 UT.

In addition, on March 10, 2011 around 0630 UT, a CME did strike a blow to Earth's magnetic field. This was a result of an M3 flare that occurred late on March 7, 2011.
