Oregon Politicians, Community Leaders Join Protest at Standing Rock

Maggie Vespa, KGW

PORTLAND, Ore. – A growing number of Oregonians are making the trek to Standing Rock to protest the Dakota Access pipeline.

State Representative-elect for Oregon’s District 47, Diego Hernandez, arrived at Standing Rock on Thanksgiving.

“As somebody who represents a collective group of people in Oregon, I felt like it was my responsibility to make sure that I do my part in being a water protector,” he said.

With Hernandez was Joseph Santos-Lyons, who runs Apano, a local group that represents Asian and Pacific Islander communities in Portland. The pair traveled to Standing Rock to bring food, donations and raise awareness for the cause.

“They haven’t prioritized resources to ensure that there’s really good journalism and reporting happening,” Santos-Lyons said. “And that’s really disappointing. You know this encampment is committed for the long haul and the issues that they’re facing are really high stakes.”

Carina Miller, who sits on the tribal council in Warm Springs, made her second trip to Standing Rock. She said she hasn’t been there for any of the recent violent confrontations with police.

Discerning Vibes 11/25/16… Coming out of the Spiritual/Closet and Words on how the Presidential Election has Divided People

Editor’s note:  Very powerful words.  Very truthful words.  It is time for us to come together.  It is time for us to Unite behind the corruption and crimes of the Political/Corporate Establishment and the Elite.  It is time to swallow the red pill and admit – the left is just as corrupt as the right. Same coin, different sides.  ‘Nuff said.

I’d never heard of this “Discerning Vibes” blog, but she made a link to this prior Suzanne Spooner + Todd post so I checked out her article. Seems that several are reporting their own insights, and I felt this one was asking to be posted. Her pathway seems somewhat similar to mine, “politically”, that is (I personally align with no party, do not label myself with any terms like “liberal, conservative, progressive, anti-gressive (is that the opposite of “progressive?), or any other).

For those interested, the Doreen Virtue Oracle cards are available at Doreen Virtue’s website, Hay House, and Amazon. Apparently the cards are also available as an app.

“The 2016 US Presidential election has divided many people from their friends and family. Although I’ve tried earnestly to keep the peace, I have not been immune to the election drama… my husband and I… [have both]… “lost” someone in their grief and mourning over Trump’s win. Hopefully, they are not permanent losses.

“Fake Progressives are perfectly fine with soaring inequality and corrupt governance, as long as everyone’s public utterances are politically correct. Sometimes who lost is more important than who won.

“The biased media has greatly added to the divisiveness between left and right. The Clinton media stooges (CNN, The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Huffington Post) attacked Donald Trump on a daily basis while ignoring many of the revelations from Wikileaks about Hillary Clinton. It was literally a media circus of character assassinations…

“…what is the spiritual part of all of this? As I’ve said, Hillary Clinton represents to me the elitist establishment that cares not for the average citizen, and Donald Trump (though egotistical and “politically incorrect”) is part of the wave of anti-establishment sentiment that cannot be ignored.”

Hundreds of Veterans Heading to Standing Rock to Defend DAPL Protesters from Police

November 22, 2016   |   Carey Wedler

(ANTIMEDIA) As protesters continue to stand against the proposed Dakota Access Pipeline in North Dakota, facing off against heavily militarized police and their water cannons, rubber bullets, tear gas, and tasers, they have gained broad support. Celebrities and millions of social media users have raised awareness about the situation in North Dakota, and now, the “water protectors” have earned support from another group: veterans.

According to an article published by Business Insider that first appeared in Task and Purpose, a military-oriented news and culture site, two veterans are leading the charge in a show of dissent against the increasingly aggressive police. In the last several months, tensions have escalated as Natives and their allies have blocked the pipeline’s construction, citing fears surrounding water will be endangered and sacred burial sites will be destroyed (not to mention the fact their lands were forcibly stolen by the U.S. government over a century ago).

“This country is repressing our people,” says Michael A. Wood Jr., a Marine Corps veteran who recently retired from the Baltimore police force to work toward reforming law enforcement. “If we’re going to be heroes, if we’re really going to be those veterans that this country praises, well, then we need to do the things that we actually said we’re going to do when we took the oath to defend the Constitution from enemies foreign and domestic,” he asserted about his plans to go to Standing Rock.

Top 27 Alkaline Foods

Alkalizing Foods

The Top 27 Alkaline Foods on the Planet (Eat more to prevent cancer, obesity and heart disease)

Let’s face it, the Standard American Diet is just plain SAD. With processed “quick and easy” foods, fast foods, and genetically modified foods, out bodies go through a lot in just one day.

And it’s not just about the horrible ingredients that go into everything; it’s also about what this food is doing to our body’s pH levels.

The human body is meant to be an alkaline organism, and if you’re putting too much junk food in, chances are you’re also eating too many acidic foods.

When we eat acidic foods, our blood pH can change from a normal alkaline level to a harmful acidic level. This will affect the immune system and make us more susceptible to disease.

Alkalizing Foods

Even if you are not worried about your blood pH levels (if you eat enough healthy foods in a day), these alkaline foods will help your body for many other reasons and can add to your overall wellbeing.

Top Five Alkaline Foods

1. Swiss Chard

Swiss chard is a great alkaline food and also has anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties, as well as the ability to rid the body of free radicals.

2. Melon

Any kind of melon is great at cleansing the colon, and at a pH level of 8.5, they are super alkaline. Watermelon is especially good for you due to its high fiber and 92% water content.

3. Buckwheat

Looking for a replacement to wheat? Buckwheat is a great place to start! It will kick start your day by improving energy and can even help prevent cardiovascular disease.

4. Olive Oil

This tasty oil is rich in vitamin E and monounsaturated fatty acids.

 5. Flax Seed

Not only are they alkaline, but flax seeds are also high in fiber and vitamin E. They can reduce inflammation and hot flashes in menopausal women.

11/25/2016 – Message From The Arcturians

Editor’s note:  Wouldn’t it be more useful if these folks actually showed themselves?  You know – actually knock on our doors one afternoon and share these messages live and in person?  And…I am weary of reading these pieces that basically say “keep going you got this we’re coming it’s all coming soon just hang in there.”  Oh yeah?  PROVE IT.  Stop telling us to use discernment and back up your words with something tangible.  Anyway…enjoy the latest of these messages…

MESSAGE FROM THE ARCTURIAN GROUP ~ NOVEMBER 20, 2016 through Marilyn Raffaele

arcturians-aliensGreetings dear ones.  All is proceeding according to plan even though it may seem to you that the world is going backwards.  Powerful energies of Light are creating a new world awareness resulting in battles between the old and the new.  New frequencies of Light are exposing  information and those who benefit from leaving things as they are, do not like it.
 
This is what will bring change although it cannot happen in a moment for the majority needs time to process what they are becoming aware of.  Those who are more intuitively awake know what it is they are seeing, and their realization of the truth behind all appearances is what is  helping to dissolve these old energies.
 
Every individual  is consciously or unconsciously journeying toward full awakening but not everyone is  at the same level of awareness at the same time.  Old souls are those who have lived and learned through many lifetimes, whereas newer souls may have been only on earth several times and still need many more life experiences before they will be ready to move into  higher levels of awareness.
 
Continue to send Light and love to the world, visualizing earth and all her life forms as pure Light, for this is what they really are.   This makes you Lightworkers.  A lightworker is anyone who not only knows the truth but lives it, in the realization that in spite of appearances to the contrary everyone is a Spark of the one Divine Light.
 
Many continue to think of lightworkers as being only those spiritually gifted individuals doing healing work, teaching, or channeling. This belief is a facet of the belief in separation for in truth everyone is a spiritual being and every activity becomes Lightwork when done with awakened eyes and ears.
 
Lightwork is the natural effect of an evolved state of consciousness, one that without conscious effort can lift the energy of those receptive.  Even the most seemingly  insignificant of daily interactions are Lightwork when they flow on energy streams of true Love and Light.

The Hard To Swallow Truth About Turkey Day

Vic Bishop, Staff Writer
Waking Times

“Does anyone even know why we eat turkey every Thanksgiving? Does anyone even know why we have Thanksgiving? Is it just to eat turkey?” ~Erin Janus

Image result for NO thanksgiving image

Another Thanksgiving holiday is upon us, and the tradition of coming together with family to celebrate a vague connection to our heritage as conquerors of North America will be celebrated by millions of people. This year, however, Thanksgiving is all the more ironic given the circumstances unfolding at the Standing Rock Indian Revolution over the Dakota Access Pipeline where Native Americans are being brutalized by militarized police who are protecting a corporate project.

So what is the true story of Thanksgiving? A brief history lesson:

“The first actual proclaimed “Day of Thanksgiving” came in 1637 in a meeting between the Pequot Indians and English religious mercenaries. The Pequot were celebrating their annual Green Harvest Festival, which resembles modern-day Thanksgiving. On the eve of the festival, the English demanded that everyone comes out of their homes, puts their weapons on the ground, and surrenders by converting to Christianity.

Those who obliged with these terroristic demands were either shot dead or clubbed to death. Those who stayed inside their longhouses – including women and children – were burnt to death. In all, more than 700 Pequot men, women, and children were slaughtered that day.

The “victory” was celebrated by the Governor of Massachusetts Bay Colony holding a feast and trumpeted this as a “Day of Thanksgiving.” During the celebration, they cut off heads of Natives and put them on display publicly; including beheading the Wampanoag Chief and impaling his head on a pole in Plymouth which stayed on display for the next 24 years.” ~Irwin Ozborne

Beyond the historical context of Turkey Day, there is a modern aspect of this story that needs to be outed and understood.

Modern meat farming has become the most horrifying and inhumane practice on planet earth.While some activists work to expose the shocking abuses that routinely take place in concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFO’s), the meat industry and the National Grocers Association is constantly working to avoid the public relations nightmare that publicity would certainly bring.

Ag-gag laws criminalize activism with the aim of keeping consumers in the dark, and the largest meat companies have engineered a top-down system of farm control where individual farmers are under severe contracts, having no say whatsoever on how animals are housed and treated.

Never the less, the issue of animal cruelty as an embedded part of our food supply is something which needs to be brought into the light of day and exposed, for there truly are much more healthier and humane ways of feeding ourselves.

To this end, and to bring awareness to the ritual insanity of Thanksgiving turkey dinners, filmmaker and activist Erin Janus presents ‘Turkey Day,’ a short film about the week’s festivities. A word of warning, though, for some of the content in this video, while 100% real, is genuinely disturbing.

“People will do things just cause everyone else does, and just keep doing it until it becomes tradition.” ~Erin Janus

A Message of Restoration From Agartha

agartha___realm_of_the_underground_world_by_rasty690-d825xtvOn 11/22 an energetic portal will be created enabling those in alignment to move into a new octave of experience. This new energy will shake off old attachments and deepen further into the new, which is not so much new but a restoration of the old, the original energy of the original blueprint.

In these sequences the individual can experience a separation from what has been and find themselves in a space of white light that will illuminate within themselves the light of their own clarity and coherence. This is a space that will generate the key codes of enlightenment, the energy of expansion and understanding of what is, what was, and what will be.

This is an energy portal of change on the mental plane. It is a comprehension of the true nature of life and what it means to be an individual ascending within a physical form.

agartha

In embodying these concepts of enlightened existence there will be an activation from within that will ignite the light of comprehension, to awaken from the slumber of darkness, the higher purpose of physical life on Earth.

The Higher Purpose of Physical Life on Earth is the Key Code of Now.

This is the key that is now transcending the lower planes of density and rising up to the forefront of humanity to activate within All Souls the Awakening codes of Truth. Truth is transcendent, activating the energies of change and bringing to the forefront for all to see and hear, what is really behind the creation of life in this realm.

We, the Agarthans, the Ascended Beings of Mastery and Mystery, are here to bring you this message of Truth.

“Ed-Exit” – Ron Paul Urges Americans To Secede From The Centrally-Planned School System

Image result for homeschooling imageMaryland Governor Larry Hogan recently signed an executive order forbidding Maryland public schools from beginning classes before Labor Day. Governor Hogan’s executive order benefits businesses in Maryland’s coastal areas that lose school-aged summer employees and business from Maryland families when schools start in August. However, as Governor Hogan’s critics have pointed out, some Maryland school districts, as well as Maryland schoolchildren, benefit from an earlier start to the school year.

Governor Hogan’s executive order is the latest example of how centralized government control of education leaves many students behind. A centrally planned education system can no more meet the unique needs of every child than a centrally planned economic system can meet the unique needs of every worker and consumer.

Centralizing education at the state or, worse, federal level inevitably leads to political conflicts over issues ranging from whether students should be allowed to pray on school grounds, to what should be the curriculum, to what food should be served in the cafeteria, to who should be allowed to use which bathroom.

The centralization and politicization of education is rooted in the idea that education is a right that must be provided by the government, instead of a good that individuals should obtain in the market. Separating school from state would empower parents to find an education system that meets the needs of their children instead of using the political process to force their idea of a good education on all children.

While many politicians praise local and parental control of education, the fact is both major parties embrace federal control of education. The two sides only differ on the details. Liberals who oppose the testing mandates of No Child Left Behind enthusiastically backed President Clinton’s national testing proposals. They also back the Obama administration’s expansion of federal interference in the classroom via Common Core.
