ReplyDeleteI called 2011 the ‘year of redemption and atonement, yet we have witnessed NO restitution, NO reparation for war, torture, misery, murder or suffering caused by an anathema.
ReplyDelete.
This year 2012 I propose is the year of enlightenment.
.
The force that brings life to our universe and connects everything; that spark that passes through all things and captures and codes; that same force consistent in producing the gravity that glues the cosmos and manipulates all mass, is, the source of change.
.
If one believes in that connection then enlightenment can and will expand – through the power of intention. Enlightenment, or bodhi is the source of change. We must evolve.
.
Evolving means turning my eyes towards the West’s military…
.
When terror struck in 2001 the military DID NOTHING and 3000 people in America died and millions of Americans were traumatized, gripped in/with fear. Further, billions of people have/are seduced by synthetic terror. Therefore I will expose those who DID NOTHING to impede that horror, and so must you.
.
These people betrayed you:
.
General Richard Myers – lied to the American people on the readiness of intercept fighters. (Jared Israel)
.
Richard Cheney – lied to the American people:
.
“Well, the – I suppose the toughest decision was this question of whether or not we would intercept incoming commercial aircraft.” (September 16th 2001 – Cheney on Meet the Press)
.
Donald Rumsfeld – issued no order to scramble jet fighters.
.
General Ralph Eberhart – Lied about ‘war-games’ and closed his mind to a ‘stand-down’ order in complete contempt of an eon of military training.
.
Atonement awaits these people, trained to protect and defend their country, it’s citizens and the fragile lives lost from the spawning of an abomination, a premeditated murder that asserts itself even today.
.
The ‘Tripod’ undertakings that framed and encased a military sworn to protect America will be now broken and the truth revealed.
.
It is that truth that will close a chapter of agony and sorrow, not only for the families of those who died in America but also the families of those who died in countries coveted by a greed and power sought by the conspirators.
