I Do Not Consent To your Definition of Me

Last week I made a post expressing my enthusiasm for the pending Mike Flynn exoneration, with a link to new information (via a WSJ article) about indications of a plot coming from high up the chain-of-command, Comey and/or Obama. I took a quote from the article and commented that this is just the beginning, as we move into learning more about FISA and #Declass. 

A friend I knew in California for over 20 years made multiple visits to the post over a period of several days (unbeknownst to me). He made increasingly nasty comments and personal attacks on me (see description in comments below) that I found shocking and intolerable. I had to unfriend him (while refuting most of his comments point-by-point) in order to prevent him from continuing. I never attacked him or anything he represents. He viciously assigned erroneous beliefs and associations to me that are untrue. We have dozens and dozens of mutual friends. I actually made the article public after that so people could see and for my own protection.


I am a a former Liberal and current Centrist/Independent Patriot, not a Conservative.  If Liberals are becoming unhinged and unleashing on people unjustly in May, what's going to happen come Autumn?  I did not deserve this, and felt a need to set the world straight on MY OWN PERSPECTIVE. This is not something someone else can or should take  liberty to convey. Interesting to note that every day more and more evidence is being declassified that supports the fact that were was a plot against Flynn.~PB

Apparently some of you missed my post from yesterday, where, in my angst, I mentioned that I have had enough, I am on edge, so don't come to my wall to argue with me about my posts, or intentionally trigger me. Don't like it? Don't read it. Don't like me? Unfriend me. I have no interest in arguing. And for God's sake don't freaking TELL ME what I believe, because chances are extremely high that you're wrong.


My beliefs are fluid because I'm always learning and taking new things into account. My beliefs are not set in stone. Yet some of my beliefs are consistent and ongoing. For example, I still think that most people have good intent, despite the chaos we see in the world. It is a minority of people who cause problems by their attitude of service to self over service to others. Even well- meaning people may seem misguided. Sometimes I'm wrong about things, sometimes I'm right --but that's irrelevant. It's not about being right or wrong, one or the other. It's about discovering who and what we resonate with.
The point of sharing information is to live and learn, to be exposed to ideas and information outside our experience or normal sphere of influence. To spark one another to think in new ways. None of us "know it all". I have friends of all ages, all walks and beliefs. Some of my truest friends lovingly tolerate my eccentric perspectives (as I do theirs!), or at least ignore what aspects they don't resonate with. They do not condemn me nor attempt to define me by it, or 'set me straight' over it, nor do they try to shame me or shut me up for my self-expression. (We have family for that ).


I am not saying you can't engage. You can tell me what YOU believe. I just don't need people coming at me with preset notions of who I am, or what I'm about. So, to have the audacity to tell me WHAT I believe? --that will get you bounced. I won't tolerate that kind of disrespect.


Like many, I work hard to get in to my heart space, which gives me a multi dimensional perspective, and lifts me out of this dualistic battle that too many people appear to enjoy.


Between the daily challenges to stay in our hearts, and the timeline wars and wobbles that give a surreal tint to our gaze, we have enough to contend with, without engaging in conflict, losing hope or giving up on our dreams.
Everything we need to know is not necessarily already inside us, but the key to the door that leads to it, is within. In order to co-create a better reality for all, and to manifest our dreams, we have to have peace, understanding, love and compassion. Inspiration and cooperation. This is not something 'out there'. Yes, it is a current we can tune into at any time, but it is something we cultivate within ourselves. So many of you are better at it than me. We all go at our own pace.


In this moment, let's try to keep an open mind and an open heart. All we ever have, is now. ☮💖☯️~~~

Google Staffer Releases Documents Exposing Massive Censorship of Pro-Life, Conservative Web Sites

A Google staffer today released documents exposing a massive censorship campaign where the ubiquitous Google search engine purposefully censored pro-life and conservative web sites, including LifeNews.com.

Google Insider Zachary Vorhies has given an interview to watchdog group Project Veritas where he discusses how he documented Google censorship of leading pro-life and conservative web sites for over a year. He made the decision to go public in an on-the-record video interview after Google went after him following the release of the information to Project Veritas.


He decided to go public after receiving a letter from Google, and after he says Google allegedly called the police to perform a “wellness check” on him.


Along with the interview, Vorhies asked Project Veritas to publish more of the internal Google documents he had previously leaked.



“I gave the documents to Project Veritas, I had been collecting the documents for over a year. And the reason why I collected these documents was because I saw something dark and nefarious going on with the company and I realized that they were going to not only tamper with the elections, but use that tampering with the elections to essentially overthrow the United States,” he said.


Project Veritas has released hundreds of internal Google documents leaked by Vorhies. Among those documents is a file called “news black list site for google now.” The document, according to Vorhies, is a “black list,” which restricts certain websites from appearing on news feeds for an Android Google product. The list includes conservative and pro-life web sites like LifeNews.com, Newsbusters, Gateway Pundit, Glenn Beck and the Media Research Center.


In June, Project Veritas published internal Google documents revealing “algorithmic unfairness” towards pro-life and conservative web sites like LifeNews. Vorhies told Project Veritas these were documents that were widely available to full-time Google employees.


“These documents were available to every single employee within the company that was full-time. And so as a full-time employee at the company, I just searched for some keywords and these documents started to pop up. And so once I started finding one document and started finding keywords for other documents and I would enter that in and continue this cycle until I had a treasure trove and archive of documents that clearly spelled out the system, what they’re attempting to do in very clear language.”


Shortly after releasing the information, Vorhies received a letter from Google containing several “demands.” Vorhies told Project Veritas that he complied with Google’s demands, which included a request for any internal Google documents he may have personally retained. Vorhies also said he sent those documents to the Department of Justice Antitrust Division.




After having been identified by an anonymous account (which Vorhies believes belongs to a Google employee,) on social media as a “leaker,” Vorhies was approached by law enforcement at his residence in California. According to Vorhies, San Francisco police received a call from Google which prompted a “wellness check.”


Vorhies described the incident to Project Veritas:
https://youtu.be/g1VeElBAeas


“they got inside the gate, the police, and they started banging on my door… And so the police decided that they were going to call in additional forces. They called in the FBI, they called in the SWAT team. And they called in a bomb squad.”


“[T]his is a large way in which [Google tries to] intimidate their employees that go rogue on the company…”

Partial video of the incident was provided to Project Veritas. San Francisco police confirmed to Project Veritas that they did receive a “mental health call,” and responded to Vorhies’ address that day.


Another newly published document titled “Fringe ranking/classifer: Defining channel quality” lists an example ranking of various news sites, including CNN and FOX News. A document titled “Fake news & other fringe: Trashy recap” reveals that videos are rated by multiple “human raters.”


Vorhies told Project Veritas that he hopes more insiders at Google decide to go public and discuss big tech abuses.


“My message to those that are on the fence is I released the documents. They can go in, they can see everything that Google is doing and then they can see the scale of it. Because I think that there’s a lot of engineers that have a hint that things are wrong, but they don’t understand the colossal scale that it’s at. And so for those people, I say, look at the documents, take the pulse of America, see what’s happening and come and tell the world you know what you already know to be true.”

Project Veritas requested comment from Google on this story but did not receive a response at the time of this publication. Google has also not responded to a media query from LifeNews.

Conspiracy Theories a Sign of Sane Thinking Study Shows Added by Kristi Cereska

Conspiracy Theories 

Conspiracy Theories


Conspiracy theories cannot be countered as rhetoric or nonsense anymore, according to a new study which shows that looking at things from all sides is a sign of sanity. When it comes to the psychology of those that can accept or reject theories that may not be popular, it seems they are a step above those that will reject any theory except their own outright. Those who believe they are simply seeking the truth are sometimes labeled in today’s society as a tinfoil hat-wearing nutso.

The study, conducted on a news site, and a poll of those that commented was the basis for the study, which had as a topic, 9/11. There were over 2,000 comments and over 1,400 of them were labeled as being conspiracies, while just over 700 were labeled conventionalist. What this shows is that many more people are looking at issues critically and in-depth instead of just outright disputing them. It also showed that although the conspiracy theories group would argue against other’s views, they used less negative comments and strictly focused on the issue and what happened. The conventional people would argue, trying to push their own views on others in a far more hostile and argumentative manner.

People today will not accept that their views could be considered conspiracy theories because of the negative connotations associated with that term. Many believe that the phrase goes back to the assassination of John F. Kennedy and the document that ultimately came out, which directed media on how to cover the story and how to handle those that did not believe what the government’s official stance was. This document, the CIA Instructions to Media Assets, was supposed to be destroyed when it was no longer needed, but a copy resides in the Real History Archives. Among other things, the document stated how to handle critics and how to deflect questions from those critics.

This document goes on to use the term conspiracy, and that those disputing the governments truths were weak-minded, and that these people were using “irresponsible speculation” and that they focused on things that were impossible to dispute. This document even speaks directly of the assassination stating that conspiracy theories as large as some of the critics were talking about would be impossible to pull off.

The new study shows that the more one rejects ideas outright, the more aggressive they are in their views. They do not want to see beyond their own beliefs, or expand their thinking. Those that are labeled as conspiracy theorists are those that hope to open minds up to other possibilities, without forcing their beliefs on others. Pushing the barriers of long-held belief systems is not a bad thing; it is a way to open the mind, expand perceptions and seek the truth.

Many do not believe it wrong to look beyond the printed word and seek the truth. Many others do not want the pot stirred, and want to keep the long-held belief systems in their views of the government, media and the world.  Independent studies will not change those that will argue with anyone that does not hold the same beliefs, but it may just take the stigma out of reading and discussing all those conspiracy theories.

November 2014 Message by Jen Eramith | Akashic Transformations

 
 


From the Akashic Records: An Excerpt from the Message of November 2014

~What energy and experiences can we expect in November 2014?
~Are there any particular activities that we should do in order to connect with the energy this month?

~What energy and experiences can we expect in November 2014?

The energy this month is like a strong wind.  There is a sense that much will change in your personal lives and in the world around you.  Overall, there is a sense that the changes are bigger than you, just like the wind is bigger than any one person or thing. 

You will see and feel change around you, but you may not know yet how you want to respond or what you want to do with those changes.  It will be important this month not to take hasty action.  It will be important not to make any rash decisions.  Just like you would in a windstorm, find a quiet place and hunker down for a while. 

This month, it will be really useful for you to take good care of your bodies; take good care of your family and your home.  You are not really in danger, but there is so much shifting that fear may come up anyway.  Do what you can to nurture yourselves and nurture the quiet, loving moments that are available in your daily lives.


~Are there any particular activities that we should do in order to connect with the energy this month?

It seems important that most of you keep your eye on the bigger picture.  Continue to watch the news, and to have conversations with your friends and neighbors about the things that are happening in the world around you.  There really is a feeling that everything is bigger than you and if you feel alone or isolated at this time, this could be very overwhelming and even unhealthy. 

On the other hand, if you connect with friends and family then you will experience profound healing.  Try to engage in open dialogue, ask a lot of questions, and tell people what you think.  Try to listen and understand all the different perspectives.  Then you will feel connected through the changes.  You will feel that you can expand and move with that wind, rather than being lost in it. 

It is very important to keep your eye on what is happening in the world, what is happening in your community.  Do not close your eyes, do not close your mouth.  Instead, look for ways to stand up for what is right and stand up for what is true.  But in equal measure, make sure that you are asking questions and really listening for different perspectives.  There is much that needs to be learned and so many of you need to shift in order to adjust to this wind and keep humanity moving forward...

The US government can brand you a terrorist based on a Facebook post. We can't let them make up the rules.

Is this actually news?  Hero Julian Assange alluded to that ages ago. But in order to shift the reality paradigm, somebody has to speak up and get the Truth out! Since when is the Truth a threat to the US Constitution? It's not. Those who would suppress the Truth are the ones who should be under scrutiny.  Speak Truth, believe in and envision a better world, and take action to effect positive change. That's what we mean by Co-Creation. I'm no threat to anyone except those who seek to squelch the truth. I am not a terrorist, I just speak my mind.  I AM Divinely protected in All Space and All Time, and So, IT IS. ~PB

The US government can brand you a terrorist based on a Facebook post. We can't let them make up the rules.Innocent people’s lives are being ruined. Why isn’t anyone watching the watchlist?

Reasonable suspicion is based on a circular logic – people can be watchlisted if they are suspected of being suspected terrorists – that is ultimately backwards, and must be changed. Illustration: Joelle L / Flickr via Creative Commons Illustration: Joelle L / Flickr via Creative Commons


The US government’s web of surveillance is vast and interconnected. Now we know just how opaque, inefficient and discriminatory it can be.


As we were reminded again just this week, you can be pulled into the National Security Agency’s database quietly and quickly, and the consequences can be long and enduring. Through ICREACH, a Google-style search engine created for the intelligence community, the NSA provides data on private communications to 23 government agencies. More than 1,000 analysts had access to that information.
This kind of data sharing, however, isn’t limited to the latest from Edward Snowden’s NSA files. It was confirmed earlier this month that the FBI shares its master watchlist, the Terrorist Screening Database, with at least 22 foreign governments, countless federal agencies, state and local law enforcement, plus private contractors.


The watchlist tracks “known” and “suspected” terrorists and includes both foreigners and Americans. It’s also based on loose standards and secret evidence, which ensnares innocent people. Indeed, the standards are so low that the US government’s guidelines specifically allow for a single, uncorroborated source of information – including a Facebook or Twitter post – to serve as the basis for placing you on its master watchlist.


Of the 680,000 individuals on that FBI master list, roughly 40% have “no recognized terrorist group affiliation”, according to the Intercept. These individuals don’t even have a connection – as the government loosely defines it – to a designated terrorist group, but they are still branded as suspected terrorists.


The absurdities don’t end there. Take Dearborn, Michigan, a city with a population under 100,000 that is known for its large Arab American community – and has more watchlisted residents than any other city in America except New York.


These eye-popping numbers are largely the result of the US government’s use of a loose standard – so-called “reasonable suspicion” – in determining who, exactly, can be watchlisted.


Reasonable suspicion is such a low standard because it requires neither “concrete evidence” nor “irrefutable evidence”. Instead, an official is permitted to consider “reasonable inferences” and “to draw from the facts in light of his/her experience”.


Consider a real world context – actual criminal justice – where an officer needs reasonable suspicion to stop a person in the street and ask him or her a few questions. Courts have controversially held that avoiding eye contact with an officer, traveling alone, and traveling late at night, for example, all amount to reasonable suspicion.


This vague criteria is now being used to label innocent people as terrorism suspects.
Moreover, because the watchlist isn’t limited to known, actual terrorists, an official can watchlist a person if he has reasonable suspicion to believe that the person is a suspected terrorist. It’s a circular logic – individuals can be watchlisted if they are suspected of being suspected terrorists – that is ultimately backwards, and must be changed.


The government’s self-mandated surveillance guidance also includes loopholes that permit watchlisting without even showing reasonable suspicion. For example, non-citizens can be watchlisted for being associated with a watchlisted person – even if their relationship with that person is entirely innocuous. Another catch-all exception allows non-citizens to be watchlisted, so long as a source or tipster describes the person as an “extremist”, a “militant”, or in similar terms, and the “context suggests a nexus to terrorism”. The FBI’s definition of “nexus”, in turn, is far more nebulous than they’re letting on.


Because the watchlist designation process is secret, there’s no way of knowing just how many innocent people are added to the list due to these absurdities and loopholes. And yet, history shows that innocent people are inevitably added to the list and suffer life-altering consequences. Life on the master watchlist can trigger enhanced screening at borders and airports; being on the No Fly List, which is a subset of the larger terrorist watchlist, can prevent airline travel altogether. The watchlist can separate family members for months or years, isolate individuals from friends and associates, and ruin employment prospects.


Being branded a terrorism suspect also has far-reaching privacy implications. The watchlist is widely accessible, and government officials routinely collect the biometric data of watchlisted individuals, including their fingerprints and DNA strands. Law enforcement has likewise been directed to gather any and all available evidence when encountering watchlisted individuals, including receipts, business cards, health information and bank statements.


Watchlisting is an awesome power, and if used, must be exercised prudently and transparently.
The standards for inclusion should be appropriately narrow, the evidence relied upon credible and genuine, and the redress and review procedures consistent with basic constitutional requirements of fairness and due process. Instead, watchlisting is being used arbitrarily under a cloud of secrecy.
A watchlist saturated with innocent people diverts attention from real, genuine threats. A watchlist that disproportionately targets Arab and Muslim Americans or other minorities stigmatizes innocent people and alienates them from law enforcement. A watchlist based on poor standards and secret processes raises major constitutional concerns, including the right to travel freely and not to be deprived of liberty without due process of law.


Indeed, you can’t help but wonder: are you already on the watchlist?

High Ranking US Major General Exposes 911 official version untrue https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0xzsbSbVUE
Gen. Stubblebine on 9/11 -"OH MY GOD!!!!"
http://youtu.be/Jc1ql4TfCZw

 Albert "Bert" N. Stubblebine III is a retired Major General in the United States Army. He was the Commanding General of the United States Army Intelligence and Security Command from 1981 to 1984, when he retired from the Army. He is also known for his interest in parapsychology.

Stubblebine graduated from the United States Military Academy and received a Master's Degree in Chemical Engineering from Columbia University.[1] His active duty career spanned 32 years, and he is credited with redesigning the U.S. Army intelligence architecture during his command of the United States Army Intelligence and Security Command from 1981 to 1984.

Other U.S. Army commands that he led included the Electronic Research and Development Command (ERADCOM) and the Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM).[2] Stubblebine was a key person in the U.S. military invasion of Grenada and was, according to a report published by the Daily Mail, "at the heart of America's military machine".[3] He is a member of the Military Intelligence Hall of Fame.[4]

Stubblebine appeared in the 2006 documentary "One Nation Under Siege"[2] in which he states, in relation to the attack on The Pentagon which took place on September 11, 2001: I look at the hole in The Pentagon, and I look at the size of an airplane that was supposed to have hit the Pentagon, and I said "The plane does not fit in that hole. So what did hit the Pentagon?"

9/11 Consensus Panel Releases New Evidence from Witness Testimonies and Architectural Drawings
Posted by Orangutan. on Mon, 06/02/2014 - 3:19pm

    9/11 Consensus Panel
    David Ray Griffin

PRESS RELEASE:  World Trade Center Building 7’s Controlled Demolition: 9/11 Consensus Panel Releases New Evidence from Witness Testimonies and Architectural Drawings

June 1, 2014 –The 24-member 9/11 Consensus Panel – which includes physicists, chemists, engineers, commercial pilots, attorneys and lawyers – today announced three new studies confirming the controlled demolition of World Trade Center 7.

The studies scientifically refutes the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) claim that, for the first time in history, fire caused the sudden and complete collapse of a large, fire-protected, steel-framed building on 9/11.

(Note that whereas the Consensus Panel uses a scientific methodology to peer-review its work, the NIST report was not peer-reviewed.)

The first Panel study deals with the NIST computer simulations, which purported to show that fire-induced thermal expansion caused a girder to be pushed off its seat at Column 79, thereby initiating a global collapse of the entire 47-storey building at 5:21 in the afternoon.

However, a recent FOIA request has produced WTC 7 architectural drawings showing that the NIST simulations omitted basic structural supports that would have made this girder failure impossible.

The second Consensus Panel study deals with NIST’s claim that it did not recover any steel from this massive steel-frame skyscraper.

This is extraordinary, given the need to understand why a steel-frame building would have completely collapsed for the first time in history from fire alone, and to thereby prevent a recurrence.

We know now that some of the steel was recovered.  Photographs recently obtained by researchers show the strange curled-up paper-thin WTC 7 steel, with a NIST investigator pointing it out.

The third Panel study shows that on September 11, 2001, many people were told hours in advance that WTC 7 was going to collapse.

MSNBC reporter Ashleigh Banfield said early in the afternoon: "I’ve heard several reports from several different officers now that that is the building that is going to go down next.”

Many members of the New York Fire Department were confidently waiting for the building to come down:

    Firefighter Thomas Donato: "We were standing, waiting for seven to come down. We were there for quite a while, a couple hours.”

    Assistant Commissioner James Drury: "I must have lingered there. There were hundreds of firefighters waiting to -- they were waiting for 7 World Trade Center to come down.”

    Chief Thomas McCarthy: “So when I get to the command post, they just had a flood of guys standing there. They were just waiting for 7 to come down.”

In addition, CNN and the BBC made premature announcements.

This foreknowledge corroborates the evidence presented in previous Consensus Points (WTC7-1 to WTC7-5) that WTC 7 was brought down by controlled demolition.

67,192 Signatures Submitted

We are proud to announce that earlier today we submitted over 67,000 signatures to the City of New York - 37,000 more than the requisite number for a charter amendment to be submitted to the voters at this November's election. If passed by voters on November 4th, it would require the City's Department of Buildings to investigate the collapse of WTC 7 and any future high-rise collapses. We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who contributed blood, sweat, tears and hard-earned dollars toward this remarkable achievement.

Together we did it!
