Will The Chinese Renminbi Replace The U.S. Dollar As The Primary Reserve Currency Of The World?

Michael Snyder, Contributor
Activist Post

Most Americans have no idea what a tremendous advantage the United States possesses by having the primary reserve currency of the world, and most Americans also have no idea how close the U.S. dollar is to losing that status. For the past 40 years, the vast majority of all global trade (including the buying and selling of oil) has been done in U.S. dollars.

That is still the case today, but things are starting to shift. All over the globe, international agreements are being made to move away from the U.S. dollar and to use other currencies in global trade. The second largest economy in the world, China, has been particularly aggressive in seeking to change the existing financial order. As you will see below, China has been running all over the planet making agreements with other nations to start conducting an increasing amount of trade in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. And of course the Chinese are heavily promoting their own currency - the renminbi.

So why is this happening? Well, for one thing, the truth is that the United States is not the only superpower in the world anymore. The Chinese economy is actually projected to become larger than the U.S. economy by 2016, and by some measurements the Chinese economy is already larger. So Chinese leaders have been very open about the fact that they believe that it just doesn't make sense that the vast majority of all global trade should continue to be conducted in U.S. dollars, especially considering the reckless money printing that the Federal Reserve has been doing. At a time when the status of the U.S. dollar is already slipping, QE3 is deeply undermining confidence in U.S. currency.

And when the U.S. dollar does lose reserve currency status, the consequences for the United States are going to be absolutely catastrophic.

Sadly, most Americans don't even know what a "reserve currency" is or that the U.S. dollar is under attack.

The Chinese have not only been talking about cutting the legs out from under the U.S. dollar - they have been actively doing it. The following is an excerpt from a recent story by Alan Wheatley, a global economics correspondent for Reuters....


Fed up with what it sees as Washington's maligned neglect of the dollar, China is busily promoting the cross-border use of its own currency, the yuan, also known as the renminbi, in trade and investment.

The aim is both narrowly commercial - to reduce transaction costs for Chinese exporters and importers - and sweepingly strategic.

Displacing the dollar, Beijing says, will reduce volatility in oil and commodity prices and belatedly erode the ‘exorbitant privilege' the United States enjoys as the issuer of the reserve currency at the heart of a post-war international financial architecture it now sees as hopelessly outmoded.

The mainstream media in the United States is almost entirely ignoring these developments, but the truth is that all of this is a very, very big deal.

The following are just some of the international currency agreements that China has made in the last couple of years....

-China and Germany (See Here)

-China and Russia (See Here)

-China and Brazil (See Here)

-China and Australia (See Here)

-China and Japan (See Here)

-China and Chile (See Here)

-China and the United Arab Emirates (See Here)

-China, Brazil, Russia, India and South Africa (See Here)

Most U.S. economists dismiss this threat by pointing out that China has stockpiled so many U.S. dollars and so much U.S. debt that if anything happens to the U.S. financial system China would be significantly damaged as well.

That may be true to a certain extent, but what is also true is that most Americans fundamentally misunderstand our relationship with China.

Most Americans believe that we are "friends" with China just because they are conducting massive amounts of trade with us.

Sadly, that is not how the Chinese see us. They see us as "the competition", and they very much plan on coming out on top in the end.

Right now, the Chinese are stockpiling mind blowing amounts of gold. They are preparing for the day when the U.S. dollar crashes and when hard assets will be the place to be.

And some are even speculating that the Chinese may be planning to back their own currency with gold at some point.

The following is an excerpt from a recent article by Christopher K. Potter, the president of Northern Border Capital Management....


For three thousand years China has been at the forefront of monetary innovation. It was the first to legalize gold money in the tenth century BC and two millennia later it issued the world’s first paper currency. Fast forward to 2012 and China is at it again, eclipsing Australia as the largest producer of gold and increasing its monetary gold reserves at an alarming rate. Five years ago China surpassed the US in gold production and five years from now it will own more gold than the US Federal government.

Do not dismiss this as just another example of China’s insatiable appetite for natural resources. It is not. China is preparing for a world beyond the inconvertible paper dollar, a world in which the renminbi, buttressed by gold, becomes the dominant reserve currency.

Lest anyone doubt China’s resolve, just consider the following: The Chinese government has recently removed all restrictions on personal ownership of gold; legalized domestic gold exchange traded funds; is currently purchasing 100% of domestic gold mine production; has imported over 750 tons of gold (27% of global output) in the last 12 months; stated publically its intention to add 1,000 tons per year to its central bank gold reserves; and is buying major stakes in foreign gold mining companies. The scale of this initiative is extraordinary.

When the U.S. financial system crashes, what do you think the rest of the world is going to want - paper U.S. currency that is rapidly becoming worthless or renminbi backed by gold?

China is very serious about this effort to hoard gold. Reportedly, the amount of gold that China has imported in 2012 alone is greater than the total amount of gold that the European Central Bank is officially holding.

And China is gobbling up gold mining operations all over the planet at a staggering rate. I discussed this extensively in a previous article that you can find here.

Okay, so what happens if the rest of the world starts rejecting the U.S. dollar as a reserve currency and starts moving to other currencies such as the Chinese renminbi?

The change would potentially be dramatic.

Up until now, there has been a constantly growing demand for more dollars from the rest of the globe. They have needed dollars to buy oil and to trade with one another.

All of this demand has kept the value of the U.S. dollar up. But if the rest of the globe started rejecting the dollar, it would drop like a rock.

When the value of the dollar declines, imports become more expensive.

So the price of oil would go higher and you would pay more for gasoline at the gas pump.

And since just about everything is made outside the country these days, just about everything you buy at Wal-Mart would become significantly more expensive.

The era of endless super cheap imports would be over and our standard of living would experience a massive adjustment.

So just how bad could things get?

Well, how would your life change if you went to the store a couple of years from now and the cost of everything was double or triple what it is today?

Yes, I know that sounds dramatic, but a major currency crisis coupled with reckless money printing by the Federal Reserve could actually produce such an outcome.

So enjoy those cheap imports while you still can. The days of the U.S. dollar being the sole primary reserve currency of the world are numbered, and when the dollar dies it is probably going to happen very rapidly.

Are Syria, Jordan and Israel about to revert to Turkish control?

by Benjamin Fulford 10-8-12

The passing by the Turkish parliament last week of a law authorizing war against Syria may be part of a secret plan to restore Middle-Eastern peace by placing Turkey in charge of the region. This would mean putting Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel and maybe Iraq under Turkish rule as a part of a loose confederation of countries that have, for many thousands of years, been part of the same cultural tradition. Only the Luciferian state of Israel has the military ability to stop Turkey but since it is fast losing the financial and moral support of the Jews, it would probably agree to join a loose Turkish federation rather than lose all military and financial support from outside of the region.

This would mean the Rothschild plan would blow up, and the political map of the Middle East would revert to something similar to what prevailed before they took over the Federal Reserve Board, started World War I and got the Balfour Declaration signed.

In the US, meanwhile, Pentagon and agency sources say that key leaders of the Sabbatean sect or Khazarian mob are being systematically apprehended and cut off from all communications with the outside world.

Also last week two very high level attempts to release huge dollar and yen based funds worldwide were detected and stopped by unknown parties who acted to prevent these funds from falling into the hands of the usual bunch of old world order suspects.

In general, though, heavy secret horse-trading continues around the world as the attempt to create a fascist world government collapses.

A senior Chinese agent met with a White Dragon Society representative last week and…

…there was a friendly exchange of views. The view of the incoming Chinese government nominally headed by compromise candidate Xi Jinping is that China’s long term plan is to take over the Okinawan archipelago as a prelude to taking over Japan, according to the agent.

The White Dragon representative, pointing to the fact the staff at the modest Tokyo restaurant where they met was, as is typical these days, Chinese, said China has 10 times the population of Japan and that they could best accomplish their goals through peaceful means like immigration, purchases of Japanese corporations, student exchanges etc.

The Chinese representative answered that the latest Chinese government strategy already called for a major buying binge of Japanese corporations, stocks, real estate etc. The presence of large amount of Chinese immigrants in the Japanese workforce was also the result of an old threat to flood Japan with 100 million boat people, he said.

If China was feeling impatient, the WDS suggested, they could speed up the Asian integration process by moving some of the capital city functions of Beijing to Nara prefecture Japan as part of the establishment of an international economic planning agency. In the right circumstances, the WDS added, such an agency could hire the services of the Pentagon.

The Chinese representative will go back to China this week for further consultations.

There were also parallel secret negotiations that we cannot talk about now other than to say that they involve gold, oil and replacing the US dollar.

In a separate development, Japanese police working for the Sabbatean mafia have been planning to once again arrest Shinobu Tsukasa, the head of the Yamaguchi Gumi yakuza syndicate, according to Japanese WDS sources. The charges are expected to be related to the fact the Yamaguchi Gumi gets income from advertising placed by companies in the adult entertainment business.

This move by the police is extremely stupid and dangerous, according to Japanese underworld sources. The top Japanese agents for the Sabbatean cabal in Japan would become primary targets of all Japanese yakuza syndicates if they proceeded with such harassment even as they ignored the people responsible for the mass murder that took place on March 11, 2011.

The police have been provided evidence that Yasuhiro Nakasone, Ichiro Ozawa, Tsuneo Watanabe and other top criminals were involved in the 311 nuclear and tsunami mass murder and terror attack. For the police to pursue possible minor infractions in sex business advertising while ignoring the mass murder of their own citizens would be a declaration of war by the Sabbatean mafia and their Japanese slaves against the people of Japan.

In the US meanwhile, the Pentagon has been working closely with the US militia movement to coordinate the dismantling of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA CORPORATION and restore the Republic of the United States of America. As mentioned above, key cabal members have already started vanishing one by one from public view, according to pentagon and agency sources.

In the cabal controlled US election farce, meanwhile, the Pope and Queen have been funneling billions of dollars each to get Obama re-elected as US president, according to Italina [Italian] P2 Freemason sources.

They are fighting against the Bush crime family who want their front man Romney in power. In either case, this intelligence insulting show will be decided behind closed doors and Mossad companies, who count US votes, will rig the results accordingly.

The pentagon and the agency guys say they will make sure the election does not go ahead until democracy is restored. They are working with one militia group linked to Jesse Ventura and Ron Paul and another one working with “Drake.”

Since there have been so many false promises of action by the military and agencies, only believe it when you see it.

In Canada, meanwhile, there is an ongoing attempt to take over and shut down the entire East coast fisheries industry by cabal linked groups. Anybody trying to mess with those guys should remember the following “Newfie” joke:

“What is black and blue and floats in St. John’s harbor?”

“A mainlander who told a Newfie joke.”

This is special warning to the cabal: “Do not mess with Canada.”

Will 2012 Be the Year of Freedom? - by David Wilcock

Are we about to see incredible changes for the positive? Will the end of the Mayan Calendar bring triumph rather than disaster? It's time to share the information I've been hearing about major changes we may be about to see. I hope you enjoy it!

GUIDED TO RADICALLY CHANGE THE PLAN

Many people have complained about how long it has been since I wrote the last piece – and I do apologize for that.

There are times where quality is vastly more important than quantity. This was one of them. I did not know I was going to get pulled into such an extended "meditation retreat" when this all started.

Shortly after I finished "Will There Be a Quantum Awakening in 2012?", I finally started getting good sleep again. And with sleep comes dream data -- considering I've been capturing and analyzing them every morning for 20 years now.

I had been so stressed out before writing this piece that I was only getting bits and pieces of data each day -- if anything -- throughout July and August in particular.

Once I started getting good rest, and published the piece, a series of intense dreams gave me a very strong message. I was being guided -- nay, just about demanded -- to change my plans. Radically.

I was quite clearly being asked to abandon everything I was already working on -- which was very complex, including dozens of articles I'd collected on LIBOR, mass shootings, Illuminati and what have you -- and really get centered in nature.

STOP FIGHTING!

Most importantly, a series of powerful dreams -- some of which were nightmares -- told me to completely stop "fighting" the negative elite.

In the most significant dream, a very evil Illuminati character was vigorously battling me.

He was literally an embodiment of Lucifer. He had goat-styled ears and totally black eyes, but was an otherwise young and rich-looking man. He was very stylishly dressed in a shiny, custom-tailored tuxedo.

There were a bunch of people around in a super-elite dinner party. The men were all dressed like he was, and the women all had elegant, glittering dinner gowns and lavish diamond jewelry.

He seemed to have all of them under some sort of hypnotic control.

STEALING HIS GIRLFRIEND

I had somehow gotten invited to this party. There was an attractive woman there who I recognized as an old friend. She took a strong romantic interest in me.

At this point I had no idea that anything strange was going on. She was delighted to see me, clearly had a very strong attraction, and wanted to do something about it -- as soon as possible.

I was completely shocked when this athletic-looking man then levitated down from the ceiling, right next to her -- and began staring me down.

First he spoke to her quite harshly -- and she felt very ashamed. She turned her head and covered her face.

Then, SNAP! He turned to me. Suddenly, his eyes were totally black -- and he had the ears of a goat. I almost vomited from fear.

It was Lucifer -- and apparently I was caught trying to steal his girlfriend!

I realized he had everyone under hypnotic control. I was the only one there who could see what he really looked like.

She had been starting to wrestle free -- just a bit -- but I wasn't under his control at all.

HE BECAME EXTREMELY ANGRY

My "betrayal" caused him to become extremely angry. He attacked me -- and made all sorts of outrageous threats.

For some reason, I got totally calm, went into "warrior mode," and had absolute confidence that I could defeat him.

I suddenly found that I had similar abilities as he did -- including teleportation, telekinesis, et cetera -- but I was better at it than he was.

The battle we fought was quite epic -- and would make an incredible movie scene if it could be done properly. Forget about "The Matrix." This was CRAZY.

As he attacked me, these people in the party just continued right along, laughing and drinking champagne, as if nothing was happening -- even as stuff was flying all around them.

I was never actually damaged or even touched in this battle. It was more about his bravado -- and trying to create the fear.

He said lots of scary-sounding things as he appeared and disappeared around the room -- but I could never quite reach him.

SMASHING THE SKELETON

After an extended battle, in which he seemed to get progressively weaker and weaker, there was a sudden scene change.

Now I was with a few other people in a room next to where the party had been. It was an archaic-looking stable, made out of weathered wood, with hay all over the floor.

About three other guys and I were standing there, arms crossed, looking down at this moldering brown skeleton in the hay.

The skeleton appeared to have a certain degree of small jewels and gold nuggets encrusted into its browning surface -- and it glittered.

Now he couldn't move around anymore. I had him. Finally!

I grabbed a sledgehammer on the wall. I held it high over my head -- and prepared to bash his head in with it. I wanted to finish him off -- once and for all.

**CLANG**!!!

It sounded like I was hitting metal. Then -- to make matters worse -- the skull immediately started growing thicker!

"IT WILL ONLY MAKE HIM STRONGER!!!"

**CLANG**!!!

I whacked his skull again. It continued growing even more! This was quite a disturbing phenomenon to watch. What the hell was happening?

Someone who had been watching all this on the sidelines -- actually a person from India or Southeast Asia -- suddenly begged me to stop pounding on the skeleton at this point.

"Please stop!" this person said. "He's almost gone now. If you attack him it will only make him stronger!"

ONLY ONE PART OF A MUCH LONGER DREAM

This was the key set of scenes in an incredible Illuminati dream that was much more complex than what I have already shared here.

This dream was so detailed and powerful that it took pages and pages to write it all up -- and it triggered a tremendous healing process for me to move through.

Clearly, the message was that I would only be giving the "negative elite" more publicity if I released all the hyper-complex expose' material I was working on.

In the process of giving them publicity, I would have created fear -- even if that was not my intention.

And by creating fear, I would have actually been making them stronger.

I CAN STILL WRITE ABOUT THIS STUFF...

After a great deal of introspection and daily dream guidance, I have seen that it is still OK for me to write about this type of material.

It just has to be done in the proper spirit -- conveying the true hope and positive message I have always seen.

I just shared with you only one section from literally dozens of dreams I have had that are predicting an imminent, spectacular global event -- where Financial Tyranny is fully rooted out and exposed.

I recently put all these dreams into a file. Just the raw data alone, in bullet points, without any additional analysis or writeup, is 54 pages long.

I may post this if it seems appropriate and I am guided to do so. However, I have had so much redundancy, and the messages are so clear, that it seems there is now no other way this situation can turn out.

These negative forces will most definitely be exposed on a mass level. Imminently. Exactly how imminent, I am not certain... but it would definitely appear to be before the end of this year.

No more mainstream media lies. No more mass denial. This is going to be the Big One.

IT ALL WORKS OUT

I have clearly been told that we will first see something that looks like a very scary economic collapse -- but that we will come through it miraculously unscathed. The fear is much worse than what will actually happen.

In fact, the key dream that predicted this imminent economic collapse used the same symbols as the dreams I'd published here in 1999, 2000 and 2001 -- which ended up being highly prophetic of 9/11.

I also posted dreams that clearly predicted the BP oil spill and Fukushima in advance. In both cases, many people were expecting the worst -- saying these events could destroy the world.

I made blatant public predictions, in both cases, that we would be OK. My dreams had clearly and repeatedly described what was going to happen, and the fact that we would get through it -- and survive as a planet.

Many people thought I was very irresponsible to say that these events would not destroy us. However, the oceans were not destroyed and the radiation levels have not gone to the point where everyone is dying.

The frequency, urgency and strength of the dreams I have now had since the beginning of September are higher than for any other major event I've ever seen coming in advance.

This leads me to believe that we really do not have long to wait -- at all -- to see this start coming true.

THE TIMELINES

Apparently, from the higher perspective, the negative elite now have a mathematical certainty of defeat.

In physical terms they may have a few moves left to make, but these are very few -- and regardless of the choices they make, or the tricks they try to pull, the outcome will be the same.

This outcome, as I am now seeing it, is ridiculously positive.

THE STAR TREK AGE

Apparently we will see a full exposure of the bad stuff, followed by, or in conjunction with, a remarkable Disclosure about all the other humans out there -- who have been visiting us throughout all of history to help us out.

A wealth of technologies that can heal our planet, and throw us straight into the Star Trek age, will suddenly show up as well.

These gadgets have been there for many years now. They are just being held under great secrecy, on pain of death for those who try to unveil the truth.

A MATHEMATICAL CERTAINTY

I've seen the dream data have an uncanny ability to peer into future timelines for well over 20 years now.

Apparently there are no timelines left in which the negative elite can prevail. Not one. They are utterly, totally and completely finished.

This does not mean that the people who are preparing to take the actions that will make this happen should cancel their plans.

Instead, I am seeing that although they will have a real fight on their hands, and things could get a little crazy for a few days, it will all work out beautifully.

I was quite surprised to get dream data indicating they were so certain of this outcome that I didn't even need to participate in the battle anymore.

Nonetheless, morning after morning, throughout most of September, that's what I got.

I am telling you this now because I finally reached a point where it seemed clear that it was the right thing to do.

WHAT DO I DO NOW?

At first, I didn't know if I would ever be asked / allowed to write about any of this stuff again. I wasn't even sure if I was cleared to share the dreams I had been getting.

Everyone wanted me to write something new. My insiders were telling me data that seemed to validate what the dreams were saying very nicely. What was I supposed to do?

I had to step back and honestly ask myself: "If I can't write anything about the Financial Tyranny stuff anymore, and I can't fight these guys anymore, what is there left for me to do? What's the best way for me to help out?"

In order to get the answer to that question, I had to spend a lot of time getting "grounded" in nature -- in a prolonged trip away from home.

The results of this big time-out have been amazing. I had already planned on getting out of my normal environment, but I really didn't see what it was for -- I just knew that I was being driven to do it.

'BANFF' IN THE CANADIAN ROCKIES

I am now on an extended trip in the wilderness of the Canadian Rocky Mountains -- specifically in and around Banff National Park in Alberta.

In all honesty, I consider Banff to be the most magnificent and spiritually powerful area in all of North America. That's why I'm here.

The sights are on par with the Swiss Alps, Patagonia, the mountains of Peru and the mountains in New Zealand that were shot in Lord of the Rings.

Banff is heavily advertised in Asia, so the tourist population here is nearly 40 percent Asian -- but hardly anyone in America knows about it.

I didn't know about Banff until I did a "sacred tour" here with Kevin Fitzgerald as the organizer. If you start Googling photos of Banff, you will soon understand why it is so special.

The photograph at the top of this article is from Moraine Lake, which I've visited on five different days now while I've been here -- as well as lots of time around Lake Louise.

PUTTING THE BIG PICTURE TOGETHER

My original reason for coming out here was to finish my book -- which has admittedly been horribly stressful. I was also ridiculously stressed out writing The Source Field Investigations, but I ended up being very happy with the finished product.

I have made very significant progress on that front. I've now done three different page-one rewrites in order to figure out how best to engage this subject -- and I finally got it while walking in the woods, seeing beautiful mountains and lakes.

The energy of this land has also helped me get great sleep -- which in turn led to this amazing assortment of prophetic dreams that have now come in.

EXTREMELY POWERFUL EMOTIONAL CLEANSING

Furthermore, the dreams have guided me through some extremely powerful emotional cleansing and healing.

I've been able to look at all the most painful stuff -- including problems that were ongoing -- and reach new levels of forgiveness and acceptance.

Much of this is personal, and needs to remain that way. However, I can honestly say I feel like a tremendous emotional burden has lifted from my shoulders.

There was a focal-point moment where the greatest "healing crisis" took place -- as I went through lots of painful memories, including the death threats I received, the tragic death of my buddy in April, and traumatic details going all the way back to childhood.

During this time my body could not feel or stay warm. My teeth chattered for about 90 minutes straight as I writhed under the covers and shed constant tears, without actually making noise. If I didn't let my teeth chatter I started hyperventilating.

This has only ever happened to me two other times -- both of which were earlier this year. In that moment it is a feeling of total aloneness.

Yes, it's all just emotions -- ultimately speaking. You can train yourself to step back and observe them -- at times. That doesn't change how powerful and real they can be in the moment.

Thankfully, I've been through enough "dark night of the soul" experiences that I did not panic. I knew I had to commit to this and not run from it. I pushed through it, let the emotions come out, and I ultimately did feel much better.

COMMITTING TO THE HEALING PROCESS

I had another highly powerful dream recently that reported back on this healing process very favorably. And yet, the message was very intense.

It clearly showed me there are only two ways you can live your life. There are only two choices you can really make.

One choice is to be forgiving, patient, loving, accepting, kind and nurturing towards other people. In Law of One terms, this is the path of "Love," "service to others," or the "positive polarity."

The other choice is to treat other people as weak, pathetic, disgusting, shameful and utterly unworthy -- to see yourself as clearly and obviously superior, and to have absolutely no care or concern about their feelings -- unless it benefits you.

In Law of One terms, this is the path of "Control," "service to self," or the "negative polarity."

ABSOLUTELY USELESS

I was shown very clearly in dreams that it is absolutely useless and destructive to choose the path of Control -- for any reason -- unless you fully and completely intend to become a sociopathic mass murderer.

If you do choose this path, everything you do to others will end up being paid back to you anyway -- with meticulous, grueling precision.

I have personally been dazzled by how much "karma" I still have had to work off -- just to pay back debts I accrued from other lifetimes, not even this one. Dreams have meticulously guided me through every step of this process.

99 percent of the people who read this website would say I have done a terrific job, and have made tremendous personal sacrifices to help the planet.

Even so, I have been quite surprised at the amount of old stuff I still had to work through -- in order to get truly clear, and pay back debts.

Given that I have generated a great deal of positive karma in this life, by universal terms, I was left with a very powerful reflection on what would happen if I had not been so kind.

THE SOCIOPATHIC TIMELINE

Well after I had these incredible cleansing dreams, I was clearly shown that even the slightest choices I make in the direction of the path of "service to self" only have one logical outcome.

If I wasn't going to become a sociopath, then there was absolutely no point in making those choices.

This does not mean that "Control" is bad, or that helping yourself is bad. The terms like "path of Control" and "service to self" are really referring to "the manipulation and control of others for the benefit of the self."

There are many behavioral traits that are classic giveaways that someone is choosing the "left-handed path."

This includes narcissism, self-involvement, entitlement, jealousy, rage, selfishness, manipulation, criticism, impatience, nit-picking and antisocial / criminal behavior.

THE WHEEL OF KARMA

Perhaps the most significant Law of One passage is, "In forgiveness lies the stoppage of the wheel of karma."

Forgiving others IS forgiving yourself.

Once you give that magic gift of forgiveness, let go of the need and desire to try to control other people's free will and can see them as beings of infinite worth, you are no longer bound to the "wheel of karma."

The "wheel of karma" is what everyone continues to run through until they no longer choose the path of Control -- even slightly.

Each cycle of the wheel starts out with that feeling that you are on "top of the world" and everything is coming up roses. You are totally high, totally invigorated, and nothing can stop you.

However, as the wheel turns, things keep getting worse and worse -- until you reach that "Dark Night of the Soul" or "All is Lost" point.

This is NOT the end of the wheel -- ever. Even though we may absolutely believe it will be the end, and resist it with all of our might, sooner or later it catches up to us -- and we "hit bottom".

After hitting this point, and suffering profoundly, we "pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and start all over again."

I've now spent 20 years clean and sober, completely avoiding the crutch of drugs and alcohol that I once used to blot out my darkest emotions. It hasn't been easy -- but I've done it.

The wheel keeps turning -- in perpetuity -- until we fully master the lessons of forgiveness. Then, and only then, can it actually stay at the top -- without having to turn any further.

HEALING AND REDEMPTION

I told some people here in Banff that I was celebrating my 20-year sobriety anniversary on September 21st.

This led to a remarkable meeting with someone who had recovered from the ultimate drug addiction -- heroin. We will call him Max.

Max had become a total sociopath while he was a junkie. If someone wanted him to break the arms and legs of a guy who owed them money, and he could get some junk out of the deal, he would do it.

Max would tell any lie, and steal anything he could get from anyone -- no matter who it was or how much they cared about him -- just to stay high.

Ultimately he ended up sleeping, living and eating in a garbage dumpster that was favorably positioned under a heating vent for those horrible winter months.

FORCED AT GUNPOINT

An old high school buddy of his had become a police officer. We'll call him Officer Warren. The officer knew what was going on, where he was staying and the menace he presented to society.

One cold winter morning, the dumpster lid flew up, and the light shined in Max's eyes.

Officer Warren only said one thing at first: "Get out."

Max didn't understand. It was his old buddy. "Warren?"

Warren repeated himself. "Get out. Right now."

"What's going on? Why are you doing this?"

Warren replied, "Everybody is sick and tired of seeing you kill yourself.

"Either you get up, get in my car and check yourself in to rehab, right now, or I am going to take you out into the woods, draw this gun, and shoot you with it. No one will ever know what happened to you."

"So what is it going to be?" Officer Warren asked him. "Do you want to live, or do you want to die? Make up your mind. Right now."

THE HEALING JOURNEY

Max was indeed profoundly depressed. He knew that getting off "smack" would involve at least five days of horrible kicking and convulsions in a hospital bed -- but now he had no choice.

Officer Warren put him in the back of the vehicle and left all the windows open, in the freak cold of the winter, for the entire 90-minute drive back into his jurisdiction.

Technically, his intervention wasn't even legal, and could have cost him his badge -- but he did it anyway.

Max's clothes were so filthy that they literally had to peel them off of his body -- and burn them. He was hosed down, cleaned up, given jail clothes and put into solitary confinement.

Indeed, he kicked -- and he got through it. He went through rehab, got himself cleaned up, relapsed once or twice after major emotional traumas, and managed to get clean again. This time it was for good.

TWELVE YEARS

When I spoke to Max, I was speaking to a man who had twelve years of clean time -- with no alcohol or drugs of any kind.

I was speaking to a man who, at one time, had been absolutely ruthless, calculating and sociopathic -- loyal to no God but his own ego.

And yet, he was clearly a calm, rational, highly sensitive, thoughtful, loving being.

He was humbly aware of his weaknesses and shortcomings as a person, consistently courteous, and genuinely kind and caring towards others -- perhaps even to a fault.

I could see he still had some issues with anger, frustration and impatience -- but the difference was remarkable.

Mainstream psychologists tell you there is no cure for sociopathy. Once you diagnose someone with it, that's it. Just give up on them. Now I had living proof that this was absolutely not the case.

Max was absolutely dazzled that I had Twenty Years. "You never take it for granted. Twenty years today could be one day tomorrow."

With a big smile on his face, he said, "It Keeps Getting Better and Better. That's the part they don't tell you.

"If I only knew." He shook his head and smiled even more. "If I only knew."

Are The Illuminati Scared Of This Tiny Woman?

Both Alex Jones and Larry King cancelled interviews with celebrity actress Tila Tequila…. why?

Larry King? Well that’s a no brainer, he’s probably ‘swinging with the reptoids”…Alex Jones though? A bit surprising.

Twitter closed her account.

Twitter
twitter.com/officialtila

Facebook closed her too
https://www.facebook.com/Tila

Alex Jones doesn’t like to talk about certain things (list what you come up with below)… I don’t spend endless time following him, although I do respect what he does and who he is, he does seem to be “supported” by an unseen hand.

“Prison planet” and “infowars”… while informative, hardly take us to the golden age… you can’t just keep protesting something from the same energy which the problems are created… you must offer the alternative from a higher spiritual perspective.

Perhaps there’s so much EXPLOSIVE interest in Tila, because she’s speaking truth… what she is saying about “The Others”, is rocking hollywood…. plus she believes in God and has the power of God within her…. we all do, but she realizes it.

No anonymous cowardly comments below… thank you for supporting all Truthbringers…. ask all Truthbringers to be surrounded by White Light Protection of God.

Right now one of our greatest contributions to humanity… is to meditate… spend some time actively taking down the negative energy grid… “God, I join in with Heaven to Take Down The Negative Consciousness Grid, and To Cleanse myself within, and to actively raise my consciousness… please assist humanity to clean up this mess, and we don’t want to spend our lives fighting something… we’d rather create something totally new that harmonizes with all the universe… so be it!”

Swedish official admits toxic 'chemtrails' are real, not a wild conspiracy theory

(NaturalNews) Those long, white streams of persistent, cloudy haze commonly blasted into blue skies by unmarked airplanes are not your typical contrails, says Swedish Green Party leader Pernilla Hagberg. As reported by the Swedish paper Katrineholms Kuriren, Hagberg, the first major political leader to come forward on the issue, has openly admitted that these unusual cloud trails, which fail to dissipate like normal contrails do, are actually a toxic mix of chemicals, viruses, and metals that she has collectively referred to as "chemtrails."

According to Hagberg, the sprayings are a joint endeavor by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA), as well as the Swedish government in her own country, to modify atmospheric conditions via deliberate aerosol spraying efforts. And included in this "dangerous" mix of aerosols are various chemical components, viruses and viral fragments, and metals such as aluminum and barium, which have already been shown to be accumulating in water supplies and soils around the world. (http://chemtrails.cc/)

Normal contrails, which are composed of mere water vapor that quickly dissipates after emission from jet engines, are far different from chemtrails, which gradually blanket the entire sky in a sea of white. The following video, put together by the FreeTruth Show, a YouTube-based radio broadcast, contains some imagery of what these chemtrails typically look like in the sky:

"It is great to see a politician bringing public attention to this issue and helping add to the credibility of this cause in the mainstream," writes JG Vibes for The Intel Hub about Hagberg's unprecedented public admission. "Unfortunately, this is a political problem that requires many non-political solutions."

Spraying the skies to save the planet?
Interestingly, the United Nations (UN) and various Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation-backed groups have recently been forced to admit that such sprayings are taking place, and that the emitted particles are not normal contrails. But their excuse for why chemtrail sprayings are being done is that they will somehow save the planet from the devastating effects of so-called "global warming," that ever-present, pseudoscientific environmental theory that is often used as justification for all sorts of outlandish policy proposals. (http://www.globalresearch.ca)

In the case of chemtrails, everything from blocking the sun in order to lower the earth's average temperatures, to deliberately shifting weather patterns for the purpose of offsetting the allegedly melting polar ice caps, have been used as excuses for trying to legitimize the seeding of our skies with a cornucopia of poisons. And if re-elected to another term, Hagberg says she will continue to fight such chemtrailing efforts in her own country, which she says have been co-opted by the Swedish government.

Whole Foods Confronted for GMO in Stores [Video]

TheAlexJonesChannel | October 6 2012

Take a look at this mural, painted on the side of one of Whole Foods’ Austin locations: It brags, ‘Nothing Artificial Ever,’ but the admitted GMO ingredients sold on store shelves could never be considered to be anything but man-made freaks of nature.

With GMO foods more prevalent and more unpopular than ever, even “organic”-oriented grocery chains have been scrambling to spin the sad truth that genetically-modified ingredients have saturated the market and infiltrated virtually all food brands.



Such is the case with Whole Foods, leader in the organic products market, who’ve made billions advertising their stores as all ‘natural,’ wholesome and containing ‘nothing artificial ever,’ all while admittedly selling GMOs inside the store.

Scientific Proof of a Potential Alternative Energy Source Dates Back 25,000 Years

2 October 2012

http://news.yahoo.com/scientific-proof-potential-alternative-energy-source-dates-back-221622476.html

Radiocarbon dating at the Bosnian Archaeological site, the most active pyramid site in the world dates the pyramid complex back 25,000 years and also has released scientific evidence supporting the theory that the pyramids around the world were used as an energy source. The recent study reveals an energy beam, 13 feet in radius that transmits an unexplainable electromagnetic signal measuring 28 kilohertz coming from the center of the Pyramid of the Sun unexplainable by our science. The potential for a viable source for alternative energy from our ancient past should not be suppressed like Nikola Tesla's work because it cannot be metered and monetized. The New Era Times presents a webinar on Oct. 4,5,7 by Dr. Sam Osmanagich, founder of the Bosnian Pyramid where he will discuss how pyramids have now been found on every continent on Earth and prove—beyond a shadow of a doubt—that pyramids were built by ancient civilizations with far greater technology than we now possess and that they were used to produce energy. The placement of the tens of thousands of pyramids around the globe on the earth’s energy grid, aligned with the universal energy field is a lost science that is now being rediscovered. This science can only be explained when we reexamine much of what we have been taught about history and open our minds to unfold the truth.

Houston, TX (PRWEB) October 02, 2012
Radiocarbon dating that proves the Bosnian Pyramid Complex dates back at least 25,000 years has been revealed by an international team of scientists led by Dr. Sam Osmanagich. Discovered in 2005, the Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun Archaeological Park, which houses the largest pyramid in the world, is now the most active archaeological site on the planet. The team’s findings also reveal an energy beam, 13 feet in radius that transmits an unexplainable electromagnetic signal measuring 28 kilohertz coming from the center of the Pyramid of the Sun. This phenomenon has been independently confirmed by physicist Dr. Slobodan Mizdrak, Ph.D. from Croatia, professor Paolo Debertolis, anthropologist from University of Trieste in Italy, sound engineer Heikki Savolainen from Finland and electrical engineer GoranMarjanovic from Serbia.

The energy beam is theorized by Dr. Osmanagich as the reason the pyramids were built; to provide ancient civilizations a powerful source of clean energy. This is already a widely supported theory set forth by the book “The Giza Power Plant” by Christopher Dunn published in 1998. The Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun is 30% larger than the largest pyramid at Giza and recent excavation has uncovered an extensive pre-historical underground labyrinth system, further evidence supporting the power plant theory.

Is it possible that the fossil fuel based energy system we now rely on could have been prevented if inventor Nicola Tesla’s work on free energy hadn’t been suppressed? Tesla’s (1856-1943) patented free energy methods were rejected due to their inability to be metered and monetized. “We urgently need to change our mistaken point of view that our ancestors were stupid and accept that they had an advanced understanding of the fabric of nature and the universe, just like Nikola Tesla, whose ideas were suppressed as they did not and do not fit in the reigning economic model,” states Phillip Coppens, author and investigative journalist. “The pyramids are proof that our ancestors knew and worked with an energy technology that we are now finally able to measure, but are still short of fully understanding.”Coppens along with Klaus Dona of Austria and dozens of speakers attended the International Conference Bosnia Pyramid in Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina which is held annually to release findings to the public.

The method commonly used to record dates of artifacts and structures is radiocarbon dating which can accurately record dates back 58,000 years. It was pioneered in 1949 at the University of Chicago by William Libby who has since been awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work.Italian archaeologists Dr. Ricarrdo Brett and NiccoloBisconti discovered an organic material on the top of the concrete blocks that cover the Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun. Carbon dating was performed in the Lab in Kiev, Ukraine with astonishing results: 24,800 years +/- 200 years which gives the minimum age of the pyramid structure.

Overwhelming evidence, supported by scientific research from all over the archeological community proves that our recorded history is wrong concerning ancient cultures which in turn changes religion, science and academics.The pyramid structures that were built in Bosnia and across the globe over 10,000 years ago cannot be duplicated by modern science and machinery in the 21st century and there is no explanation for who could have built them in our recorded history.

“We realize that this site changes our knowledge of history and as such the findings will need to withstand harsh scrutiny. Our inter-disciplinary scientific team carefully utilizes legitimate scientific research methodology, often having tests done from two or more separate laboratories,” explained Dr. Osmanagich, PhD. “Despite some initial skepticism, we now have a world-wide team of hundreds of thought leaders from numerous scientific disciplines including archeologists, geophysicists, chemical engineers, physicists, electrical engineers, and mathematicians gathering scientific evidence to find the answers.”

The reason the Bosnian Archaelogical Park is so active is that unlike the Egyptian Pyramids and Dr. Zahi Hawass’ team, where access to information was carefully guarded, this site’s policy is open and inviting. “We want to share our findings in order to bring out the truth about history and knowledge of clean energy,” explains Osmanagich.

Pope's butler convicted of stealing documents

VATICAN CITY -– A Vatican court Saturday found former papal butler Paolo Gabriele guilty of aggravated theft in the pilfering and leaking of private internal documents in a scandal that brought extraordinary attention to the heart of the Roman Catholic Church.

The three-judge panel senteced Gabriele to three years in prison, reduced to one and a half, because they said he had understood that he had betrayed Pope Benedict XVI and had acted under an “erroneous” sense of loyalty.

Gabriele, in a brief statement following lawyers’ closing arguments in the small courtroom, said he had acted only out of a “visceral love” for the church and the pope, insisting that “I don’t feel that I’m a thief.”

The 46-year-old father of three, who had served at the pontiff's side for more than six years, dramatically swept aside the secrecy that enshrouds the Vatican because of the “evil and corruption” he believed needed rooting out. The leaked documents revealed an institution marred by corruption and cronyism, with infighting at the highest echelons of the Vatican.

In closing arguments Saturday, just one week after the sensational trial began, defense attorney Cristina Arru asked the court to reduce Gabriele's charges from theft to misappropriation because, she said, he had merely copied material to which he had legitimate access and hadn’t actually stolen documents.

She said he had been moved to act by “high moral motives” and “a spirit of “profound faith.” He felt “forced by the evil he saw” inside the church, she said.

The judges returned their verdict two hours after closing arguments finished.

Prosecutor Nicola Picardi said investigators had determined that Gabriele had no accomplices in the pilfering of the material, which eventually was passed on to an Italian journalist who divulged the contents in a television expose and in a best-selling book. Gabriele himself has said he acted alone.

It was the publication of “His Holiness: The Secret Papers of Benedict XVI” that led the pope’s personal secretary, Monsignor George Ganswein, and then investigators, to Gabriele.

Gabriele admitted photocopying thousands of documents and giving them to an Italian journalist, insisting he did so out of love for the pope and the church. The material found by Vatican police in his apartment included papal correspondence, encrypted diplomatic dispatches and other papers, which were published in the book.

The leak was one of the most serious security breaches in Vatican history, analysts said.

Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi said there was a "concrete" possibility that Benedict would issue a papal pardon for Gabriele.

New Study Suggests Humans Are Naturally Good

New Study Suggests Humans Are Not Naturally Violent
By J.G. Vibes – October 4, 2012
Trueactivist

A new study published last month in Nature Journal suggests that humans are naturally good. This study adds to the mounting evidence against the popular misconception that corruption is a trait of human nature.

In ten experiments using economic games, scientists observed that faster decisions result in more cooperation and generosity, while slower, calculated decisions show a decrease in cooperation and generosity. The conclusion is that the automatic reaction is to be friendly, generous and cooperative, and only upon further consideration do humans become greedy or violent.

From the study: “To explain these results, we propose that cooperation is intuitive because cooperative heuristics are developed in daily life where cooperation is typically advantageous. We then validate predictions generated by this proposed mechanism. Our results provide convergent evidence that intuition supports cooperation in social dilemmas, and that reflection can undermine these cooperative impulses.”

Any scientific studies these days should be taken with a grain of salt, because we are without a doubt living in an era of soviet style science, where state and corporate entities are using the scientific establishment to project a particular worldview into the mainstream consciousness. This is why it is important to always look for funding sources and seek many different avenues of research. However, in this case, this particular study is just one of many proposals put forward by the scientific community in the past several decades stating confidently that corruption has nothing to do with human nature, as the popular misconception states.

The first time this issue was brought up in the mainstream scientific community was in 1986 when scientists from around the world got together to discuss the psychological and biological evidence proving that human nature is no excuse for violent behavior. The findings that were released came to be known as “The Seville Statement”.

This statement made 5 propositions, which are:

1. “It is scientifically incorrect to say that we have inherited a tendency to make war from our animal ancestors.”

2. “It is scientifically incorrect to say that war or any other violent behavior is genetically programmed into our human nature.”

3. “It is scientifically incorrect to say that in the course of human evolution there has been a selection for aggressive behavior more than for other kinds of behavior.”

4. “It is scientifically incorrect to say that humans have a ‘violent brain’.”

5. “It is scientifically incorrect to say that war is caused by ‘instinct’ or any single motivation.”

Since the Seville statement there have been many more studies reconfirming the propositions put forward. Just this past February a new study by a biologist named Frans de Waal showed that animals are naturally prone to cooperation when in the right circumstances.

As I discussed in the article Human Nature a Self Fulfilling Prophecy, the actions that people carry out today, and the actions that have been carried out throughout history are the result of environmental factors, as well as psychological trauma and manipulation, they can not be chalked up to “human nature”.To chalk the violence that we see around us up to human nature, is to avoid admitting there is a problem, thus preventing any progress from being made towards peace. If we think that human beings are dangerous and violent creatures, then some of us will be able to rationalize and justify malevolent behavior by writing it off as human nature, instead of condemning it as we should.

If we actually condemn this behavior instead of making empty excuses for it, we will without a doubt drastically lower the level of violence on this planet. Individually, and as a species, we can only go as far as our imagination will take us. We are only capable of what we can imagine, and if all we can imagine is violence, submission, and domination, then that’s all were ever going to get.
