Economic Stress Indicators

20 Early Warning Signs That We Are Approaching A Global Economic Meltdown

Have you been paying attention to what has been happening in Argentina, Venezuela, Brazil, Ukraine, Turkey and China?  If you are like most Americans, you have not been.  Most Americans don’t seem to really care too much about what is happening in the rest of the world, but they should.

In major cities all over the globe right now, there is looting, violence, shortages of basic supplies, and runs on the banks. We are not at a “global crisis” stage yet, but things are getting worse with each passing day. For a while, I have felt that 2014 would turn out to be a major “turning point” for the global economy, and so far that is exactly what it is turning out to be.  The following are 20 early warning signs that we are rapidly approaching a global economic meltdown…

1 The looting, violence and economic chaos that is happening in Argentina right now is a perfect example of what can happen when you print too much money

For Dominga Kanaza, it wasn’t just the soaring inflation or the weeklong blackouts or even the looting that frayed her nerves.

It was all of them combined.

At one point last month, the 37-year-old shop owner refused to open the metal shutters protecting her corner grocery in downtown Buenos Aires more than a few inches — just enough to sell soda to passersby on a sweltering summer day.

#2 The value of the Argentine Peso is absolutely collapsing.

#3 Widespread shortages, looting and accelerating inflation are also causing huge problems in Venezuela

Economic mismanagement in Venezuela has reached such a level that it risks inciting a violent popular reaction. Venezuela is experiencing declining export revenues, accelerating inflation and widespread shortages of basic consumer goods. At the same time, the Maduro administration has foreclosed peaceful options for Venezuelans to bring about a change in its current policies.

President Maduro, who came to power in a highly-contested election last April, has reacted to the economic crisis with interventionist and increasingly authoritarian measures. His recent orders to slash prices of goods sold in private businesses resulted in episodes of looting, which suggests a latent potential for violence. He has put the armed forces on the street to enforce his economic decrees, exposing them to popular discontent.

#4 In a stunning decision, the Venezuelan government has just announced that it has devalued the Bolivar by more than 40 percent.

#5 Brazilian stocks declined sharply on Thursday. There is a tremendous amount of concern that the economic meltdown that is happening in Argentina is going to spill over into Brazil.

#6 Ukraine is rapidly coming apart at the seams

A tense ceasefire was announced in Kiev on the fifth day of violence, with radical protesters and riot police holding their position. Opposition leaders are negotiating with the government, but doubts remain that they will be able to stop the rioters.

#7 It appears that a bank run has begun in China

As China’s CNR reports, depositors in some of Yancheng City’s largest farmers’ co-operative mutual fund societies (“banks”) have been unable to withdraw “hundreds of millions” in deposits in the last few weeks. “Everyone wants to borrow and no one wants to save,” warned one ‘salesperson’, “and loan repayments are difficult to recover.” There is “no money” and the doors are locked.

#8 Art Cashin of UBS is warning that credit markets in China “may be broken“.  For much more on this, please see my recent article entitled “The $23 Trillion Credit Bubble In China Is Starting To Collapse – Global Financial Crisis Next?

#9 News that China’s manufacturing sector is contracting shook up financial markets on Thursday…

Wall Street was rattled by a key reading on China’s manufacturing which dropped below the key 50 level in January, according to HSBC. A reading below 50 on the HSBC flash manufacturing PMI suggests economic contraction.

#10 Japanese stocks experienced their biggest drop in 7 months on Thursday.

#11 The value of the Turkish Lira is absolutely collapsing.

#12 The unemployment rate in France has risen for 9 quarters in a row and recently soared to a new 16-year high.

#13 In Italy, the unemployment rate has soared to a brand new all-time record high of 12.7 percent.

#14 The unemployment rate in Spain is sitting at an all-time record high of 26.7 percent.

#15 This year, the Baltic Dry Index experienced the largest two-week, post-holiday decline that we have ever seen.

#16 Chipmaker Intel recently announced that it plans to eliminate 5,000 jobs over the coming year.

#17 CNBC is reporting that U.S. retailers just experienced “since 2008″>the worst holiday season since 2008”.

#18 A recent CNBC article stated that U.S. consumers should expect a “tsunami” of store closings in the retail industry…

Get ready for the next era in retail—one that will be characterized by far fewer shops and smaller stores.

On Tuesday, Sears said that it will shutter its flagship store in downtown Chicago in April. It’s the latest of about 300 store closures in the U.S. that Sears has made since 2010. The news follows announcements earlier this month of multiple store closings from major department stores J.C. Penney and Macy’s.

Further signs of cuts in the industry came Wednesday, when Target said that it will eliminate 475 jobs worldwide, including some at its Minnesota headquarters, and not fill 700 empty positions.

#19 The U.S. Congress is facing another deadline to raise the debt ceiling in February.

#20 The Dow fell by more than 170 points on Thursday.  It is becoming increasingly likely that “the peak of the market” is now in the rear view mirror.

And I have not even mentioned the extreme drought that has caused the U.S. cattle herd to drop to a 61-year low or the nuclear radiation from Fukushima that is washing up on the west coast.

In light of everything above, is there anyone out there that still wants to claim that “everything is going to be okay” for the global economy?

Sadly, most Americans are not even aware of most of these things.

All over the country today, the number one news headline is about Justin Bieber.  The mainstream media is absolutely obsessed with celebrity scandals, and so is a very large percentage of the U.S. population.

A great economic storm is rapidly approaching, and most people don’t even seem to notice the storm clouds that are gathering on the horizon.

In the end, perhaps we will get what we deserve as a nation.

On Medical Research and Truth

Medical Research Gone Wrong, Part 2

Catherine J. Frompovich
Activist Post

One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back. — Carl Sagan (1934 – 1996)

There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact. — Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859 – 1930)

The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history. — Eric Arthur Blair aka George Orwell (1903 – 1950)

The above quotes are from influential men of rather recent times, not some apocalyptical soothsayers who were out to make names for themselves. Those quotes place witness to the ability of some to foresee the path humankind was traveling down. Very few, except the revered real charlatans of science, were permitted to perpetuate what’s been termed eugenics using whatever way you want to define the term. Remodeling human DNA or, currently, what’s termed “slow kill” eugenics, which employ technologies of varied disciplines found in medicine and pharmacology, are something hard to accept due to media control and proselytization techniques.

Below are relatively-recent-posted sites on the Internet that bear witness to the conundrum regarding vaccines and vaccinations, especially an apparent hidden agenda found in several “ingredients” to effectuate biological interventions specifically designed for eugenics, and no one in government or medicine is doing anything to stop. Catherine discusses those “ingredients” in her book, Vaccination Voodoo, What YOU Don’t Know About Vaccines.

Risks of neurological and immune-related diseases, including narcolepsy, after vaccination with Pandemrix®: a population- and registry-based cohort study with over 2 years of follow-up, discusses the problems affecting children regarding the flu vaccine Pandemrix®. Why is that information not being mainstreamed by the U.S. media?

Here’s the PubMed posting: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24134219

That information appears on the U.S. government’s National Institutes of Health website. However, what will CDC/FDA do to implement that information into vaccine production and also into physician/healthcare workers’ meme so consumers are informed and protected?

Even though, according to researcher Neil Z. Miller, there are 130 official categories for death sanctioned by the U.S. CDC and the World Health Organization that coroners must choose from when filling out death certificates for babies, one of the most obvious is missing: vaccines/vaccinations!

Many parents don’t realize that when they purchase vaccines for their babies, the cost is taxed and the money goes into a special fund to compensate them if and when those vaccines seriously injure or kill their babies. As of May 2013, $2.5 billion was granted for thousands of injuries and deaths caused by vaccines. Numerous cases are still pending. [p.2 in Miller report]

Readers may want to check out 131 Ways for an Infant to Die: Vaccines and Sudden Death by Neil Z. Miller.

For those who question whether there’s a sordid vaccine underbelly – a ‘science’ that is not revealed willingly to the trusting healthcare consumer of vaccines – please consider the work being done at The Rockefeller Foundation.

In its 1968 yearly report, the Rockefeller Foundation acknowledged funding the development of so-called “anti-fertility vaccines” and their implementation on a mass- scale, per Jurriaan Maessan appearing in the exceptional exposé titled, “Eugenics Today: How Vaccines Are Used to Sterilize the Masses.”

Readers will recall that in Part 1 of “Medical Research Gone Wrong,” Catherine interviewed the authors of the book Against Their Will. Within the Introduction of that exceptional book, the authors say this about eugenics:

The eugenic fervor in the United States would gradually wane during the 1920s and dissipate further during the Great Depression while speeding up and taking a more malevolent form in Nazi Germany. At the same time, there were still orphanages and institutions for the disabled, and the treatment given to inmates there still showed the influence of eugenics. Although no longer a philosophical force, the eugenics movement had done its job: thousands of Americans had been dehumanized and thoroughly devalued. [p.5]

What Catherine wishes to point out is the undeniable fact that a surreptitious form of eugenics still is being carried out. Listen carefully to Mr. Bill Gates describing the mathematical equation to effectuate population control, something those who, should be exposing, quite frankly, are not.

Bill Gates seems to be admitting that vaccines are used for human depopulation, doesn’t he?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WQtRI7A064

If the early research in eugenics, as exposed in Against Their Will, apparently is practiced in unassuming daily medical procedures like vaccinations, then nothing much has changed.

Perhaps, nothing speaks to the issue of controlling scientific medical information and shoddy research and ethics than the information a member of the U.S. Congress acquired in August 2013 and about which Catherine wrote the article “Vaccine Dangers: BOMBSHELL Admissions from CDC’s 1999 Epidemiologist” wherein validation is made – but CDC/FDA deny – regarding causation of autism by ethylmercury (Thimerosal) in vaccines:

Within this group we also found an elevated risk for the following disorders: autism (RR 7.6, 95% Cl = 1.8-31.5), non organic sleep disorders (RR 5.0, 95% Cl = 1.6-15.9}, and speech disorders (RR 2.1, 95% (1=1.1-4.0). For the neurologic degenerative and renal disorders group we found no significantly increased risk or a decreased risk. [2] [CJF emphasis added]

Nothing demonstrates the ignorance, or possible arrogance, of those who supposedly are supposed to know, e.g., medical doctors, the science, research, and facts about vaccines than the Fox News interview with a mother, whose son was afflicted with autism after receiving vaccinations at two years of age. It’s dramatically interesting to watch the mom having to correct the ‘vaccine medical expert’ doctor about what’s in the vaccines her son received. Ouch! Watch what Catherine labels the Fox News-Authority-MD Gets Schooled by Mother of Child with Autism

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8wseIXsPmw .

There’s a euphemism that says, “Past is prologue,” meaning: What transpired in the past actually can be an introductory event, act, or even period in time relative to current or future happenings.

To emphasize apparent misinformation or even possible ‘pseudo-science’ that promoted advertising products, we need to look back to product advertisements and wonder what were they thinking when advertising and selling tape worms as weight reduction; cocaine toothache drops; cigarettes that ‘guarded against throat-scratch’; heroin in a bottle; and Catherine’s all-time favorite, “More Doctors smoke Camels than any other cigarette.”

Tape Worms for Weight Reduction 
Cocaine Toothache Drops

 

Tobacco & Cigarette Use 
Even MDs Promoted Smoking 

 

Heroin Produced & Sold by Pharmaceutical Manufacturer

 

Cannabis / Marihuana / ‘Pot’

 

 Crystalline Form of Heroin Hydrochloride Salt

 

Pharmaceutical Company Maker of Crystalline Heroin Tablets

 

Trans Fat Margarine

Even heroin was sold in the past by a company that became a huge, monetarially-profitable, modern-day pharmaceutical company, Eli Lilly & Company!

How can anyone forget the hubris of the medical professions foisting margarine, a non-healthful trans fat, as preventing or managing heart disease! Of course, there were Throat Pastilles made with cocaine, and various other corporate products in the past, like vaccines today, that were/are hyped to the point of total belief and acceptance regardless of the harm they cause.

The only problem now is that those agencies that brought reforms into being now promulgate pseudo-science, especially when it comes to Big Pharma’s vaccines and vaccination studies. We have to look no further than the fact that there is a total blackout within the U.S. media, news reporting, and as much as they can command on the Internet to keeping healthcare consumers totally ingnorant as to the valid science regarding neurotoxins and other toxic ingredients in vaccines and the harms vaccines cause. The CDC’s VAERS reports validate those harms! As of Sept. 3, 2013, 1117 deaths were attributed to vaccines; see this report.

Ironically, those very same government agencies are mandating that poisonous, well-advertised-pharmaceutical products be injected into newborn infants, babies, toddlers, teens, adults, and senior citizens. Oh, let’s not forget our pets, companion animals, and those animals that are raised as food.

Maybe something is totally amiss – maybe by design? – when there’s such zeal in mandating everyone/thing be polluted by one particular product, which independent scientific studies disprove much of its hyped effectiveness. In law, when entities collaborate to do nefarious things it’s considered a conspiracy. Catherine contends its medical research gone wrong.

Your Color Vibe for Friday, 1/24

Friday, January 24:    Gaslight Green

Where does the time go?  This is a question you will be grappling with today as there seems to be not enough time for some things and way too much time involved in others.  As the time stretched and compresses, you can find yourself viewing things in a new light.  Your physicality is shifting, and some of your favorite foods will no longer be satisfying.  Your choices of entertainment are also undergoing a reworking.  You can find yourself turning down an invitation today because you just cannot get yourself motivated, even though it is something you used to love to do.  There are voices in the wind, be aware of those.  There is a new energy that is flowing into the nooks and crannies, so today will be one of hints and innuendos.  Pay attention.  You are beginning to turn to a new direction and these little reminders can steer you the right way.

Latest Kryon Channel via Lee Carroll


Greetings, dear ones, I am Kryon of Magnetic Service. It is December of 2013, but it seems like only a moment ago when we faced you and thousands of old souls around the planet and told you to “hold on”

We discussed with you that the prophecy of the precession of the equinoxes was thousands of years old and it was a turning point. We described that those in the Mayan civilizations, the prophets of their time, had put together the time fractals in a way that their calendars would reflect the esoterics of the wobble of the earth. We told you that their vision was so profound that the end of their calendar coincided with the beginning of a new era.

We told you that in between the end of 2012 and the beginning of 2014 there would be times of recalibration. We gave channel after channel telling you what was recalibrating, which basically was just about everything. We told you to hold on and we indicated that seeds were being planted for bigger things. We told you that there could be difficulty for you in this year [2013] and that some of you would find it more difficult than others. In a moment, I’m going to itemize some of the things that were difficult, and tell you what’s going to happen from here on.

I can tell you these things at this moment, just like I was able to tell you about 2013, because you’ve created them. This is not a prophecy, dear ones; this is a report. I see the bigger picture, something you cannot see as you sit listening to this. You see only the oneness of yourself and a few of your friends. It’s impossible for you to see an overview that Spirit sees based upon the billions of souls on the planet. There are billions of intents, and some of them contain surprises that are positive. Some of the consciousness shifts are only just beginning to occur, and through it all we repeated and we repeated that dark energy dies hard. We did that so you would understand that it is a slow process of coming out of the mud. The mud wants to suck you back in.

The dark energy has a lot to lose because of the light that you are shining back onto this planet, but this year was the recalibrating year. I know what you’ve been through. I know the friends you’ve lost way too soon. I know of the seemingly odd circumstances that some of you were in, so let’s just say what you’re thinking. You are thinking that what you have been through doesn’t suit a Lightworker, or that you didn’t deserve it. That’s what it’s like to recalibrate. But then I told Yawee that this was “his year”. [Yawee is the Lemurian name of Dr. Todd Ovokaitys, who just presented at the Kryon seminar.]

Now, for those who are listening to and reading this channelling apart from this group of old souls in the chairs, some of this information may seem to be a non sequitur. It’s because I’m now going to talk directly to Yawee and describe some things and explain some things that we’ve never explained. It’s time.

And so, listener, trust that what I’m going to say fits into a bigger picture. Those of you in the room heard Yawee speak a moment ago about how his high science is beginning to be seen and honored. So you are more aware of the meaning behind what I’m going to say than others. I’m going to reveal a function of the body that you are working with, Yawee, that you are not really aware of to the degree you should be.

How do I explain this? Yawee, years ago you walked into your vision and DNA talked to you. You have spoken of this. For 15 minutes, you got to actually “hear” it, and at some level you were aware that you were not talking to just one molecule. You were dealing with your own DNA, by the way. I think you knew that, but there was something unusual beyond what you have described, and you have not described all of it, I know that. The fact is that you were talking to more than 100 trillion molecules at the same time! It’s because you can’t just communicate with one molecule of DNA. There is a process that will be discovered, and one you are currently using, that I’m going to discuss now.

Medicine, esoteric medicine, has been using something for centuries that they don’t really understand. They know it works, but they don’t truly know how. Homeopathy is mysterious because homeopathy takes a tincture too small to chemically react to anything in the body, but it works. The Human ingests this, and it is absorbed normally under the tongue and it works. However, if you ask the homeopathically inclined that dispense and use it, they will come up with all manner of reasons why it works. But they are guessing.

The reason it works is because the small tincture you present to the body is “seen” and is communicating to what is called the “innate intelligent body”. It is not the intellect, not your brain, and not what you think is your 3D body chemistry. The tincture is a signal to the body to heal itself. The tincture isn’t guided anywhere, but the body sees the intent of the Human Being and the chemical in the medicine, and the innate smart body immediately knows what to do. It starts to heal where it knows it should heal. How many kinds of homeopathic remedies are there? Countless kinds, and they are known to work without any guidance at all. There’s a process in the body at work – there has to be.

Yawee, let’s talk about your invention, your most recent one. You described your guided stem cell protocol as a “go there and stay there” instructional technology to guide the stem cells directly to where they are needed. You “instruct” the stem cells to go to a place in the body and stay there where they can be used. Now, the ones sitting in the chairs today don’t know anything about that. But you do and I do. And you know that you’re either incredibly lucky, over and over, or you’re dealing with something else. Because to guide a stem cell in a “go there and stay there” scenario is like a Human Being reporting to a city of a billion people, then standing on the outskirts and locating that one person they are looking for, right away, by accident! Somehow it works.

Your “go there and stay there” is a macro program accomplishing an incredible micro result. How? Trillions, if not hundreds of trillions of DNA molecules are all identical in the Human body. Somehow they “talk to each other” instantly. If one DNA molecule senses something, they all do. Science doesn’t know that yet. They may have thought of it, but they don’t know it. There is a mystery here of how DNA does what it does. Somehow it must communicate, yet there is no process of communication known to your science that could explain it. But they all “see” the intent of your program together as one and implement it as one.

We have told you this before, and we have written books about it. Your DNA has quantum attributes. It’s not a quantum molecule, but it gives quantum instructions. Ah, but there’s more. All the DNA I perceive in your body right now is singular, with only one allied consciousness. This is because the DNA in the Human body is in an entangled state with itself. It is quantumly locked in a way that it works as one benevolent union. This is a quantum physics attribute that is not yet fully understood and not yet applied to biology. It represents the smart body, the innate body, and if you want proof of that, it’s everywhere!

What do you know about identical twins? You know that they have the same DNA and that they are the only Humans on the planet who do. What do you know about studies of identical twins? You know that they can be on opposite sides of the planet and both can have the same intuition at the same time about something that’s happening with their family. Now, what does that tell you about their DNA? It’s connected! In fact, it’s connected within a particular quantum state. What do you know about quantumness in DNA? The answer is, almost nothing! So let me fill you in. It’s beautiful. Let me fill you in, because it’s going to temper everything you do from now on.

Now go slow, my partner, for I want this to be right. It has to do with what’s going on with the recalibration of the Human Being. What I’m going to describe is the recalibration process and what is changing within many of you.

The field around DNA is quantum and it responds in various ways to other quantumness given to it. The response is not linear, not chemistry and not through intellectual thought. This quantum world around you is a world that you’ve not measured yet and one you can’t see yet. There are no instruments to prove it yet, but there will be and when that time arrives, you will see it clearly. Then you’ll know I’m right.

If DNA is surrounded by some kind of quantum state, it means that it has quantum attributes with other things in a quantum state. What else do you suspect is quantum? The tones that you’re singing are quantum [speaking of the pineal tones Todd has developed]. The seed biology from the Pleiadians is quantum. I’ll just go ahead and state it, and Yawee will figure it out. At a quantum level, this multidimensional field that connects all the DNA has one intelligence, and it is connected to the original template. That means that it “knows” like homeopathy “knows” exactly what you’re trying to do, and it is benevolent to the max!

Your DNA chemistry may be working at 30 to 35 percent in 2014, but the master template is at 100 percent. [This template is there and always has been.] Therefore, the field around your DNA is always there working at 100 percent. You, as a Human Being, make choices based in duality and create the decisions of life. But at the DNA quantum level, the “smart body” level, there’s a cheering section that is connected to the template and it’s always ready to go – benevolent and ready to cooperate with anything you give it. This is the homeopathy effect.

Early in your experiments, Yawee, you discovered something very unusual – a homeopathy effect of your quantum laser. You found that if you could trigger instruction sets to even a few molecules of DNA, all of them got the picture at the same time. Even if you gave it to them in a linear fashion, all of them got it at the same time.

Your “go there and stay there” scenario is cooperative with the benevolence of the Human Being, which is connected to the template and it knows exactly what you’re telling it, and it will always work. It will always work! You are working with body intelligence, which is quantum. The more refined your instructions become, the more benevolence is seen and understood as the body heals itself through the template. You already know that. Quantum homeopathy is what you’re doing.

The parts and pieces in linearity don’t really add up to the whole effect, do they, Yawee? That doesn’t make sense in a linear world. The rest of the story is that you have accomplished a quantum handshake with quantumly entangled DNA of the Human body. The reason the results are so profound, with some of them flying in the face of known science, is that you have one of the first qualified quantum physics energies on the planet that then is a fast-track to the quantum biological parts of the Human Being. I just told you why it all works. There’s more, there is always more, but knowing this you can go to some of the next steps that you’ve been looking at and thinking about, knowing that the principal of any biology you work with will be “benevolent cooperation”.

——–

Dear ones, this DNA quantum field is the one that has been just a little off this year. The very benevolence of your DNA, which is connected to the master template, has been recalibrating. Sometimes it’s aligned with the template, and sometimes it’s not. And that is why you’ve felt like you’ve felt. That is why there is sometimes surprise sickness. Let’s list some of the recalibration issues of 2013.

Health is first. Do I have to expand upon that? There have been more sick old souls than ever before in 2013. Suddenly, it’s like an esoteric plague of sickness. You’re recalibrating! Things are not quite aligned but they’re about to be.

Now, spirit doesn’t work with a calendar, and when January 1, 2014, arrives, be careful you don’t celebrate that everything is going to be just great. Because each one of you is different and the paths are different and the calibrations are different. The solutions to the issues and the problems are different, but what I want to tell you is that the seeds of recalibration have been planted for this year of 2013, and 2014 is where they start to grow. Slowly this DNA field of yours will come back into calibration, but with a different Human nature template. It’s one that is enhanced and ready for things beyond the old energy.

We’ve told you that you’ve been in esoteric survival mode and we’ve even given you the attributes to look forward to, which are not survival specific in any way. They included compassion and tolerance and temperance. They included generosity and all the other things that survival mode does not include. You might say it’s a “different kind of survival”. It’s a survival by creating compassion, which leads to peace on Earth. With that come other things that are going to sustain Human life on the planet, despite the doomsday sayers and preppers and all the others who continue to expect the worst. They’ll get “the worst” by the way, since this is the message they are giving to their DNA. Did you ever meet a hypochondriac who pulled every disease they were afraid of right into their cells? You see, it works! A benevolent cellular structure will do its best to follow the instructions of the “boss”. So, what are your instructions? What are you saying to the quantum field around you? That’s the next thing I want to talk about.

Health. Now that you know what is going on in your own body and that it is benevolent, you have the opportunity to give it quantum instructions with your intuition. I didn’t say to do it with your brain, did I? You have to use conceptual intuitive thought. See yourself healed! See yourself out of the disease or the anomaly. These are your instructions that will go right into that realigned DNA with receptors that are far more willing and ready to receive your information than you ever realized. The cures can be quick, trust me, and the worst is over. But the realignment and the facilitation of the new energies are going to take a while to fit in, so give them time. But for most of you, the worst is over.

Consciousness. You’ve been just a little off, as we’ve said. The year of full moons is complete. Consciousness cannot align to the core within you when it’s always a little off. The energies are pushing and pulling it because it’s recalibrating. This has pulled some of you away from Spirit, did you know that? I know who’s here, I know who’s listening. Some have been pulled right out of their faith and right out of their love for God, and they’ve become cynical. I know who’s here, and I know who’s listening. That’s what recalibration does. If you only trust your intellect, then nothing’s going to work. Your intellect is not connected to your innate!

You know, don’t you, that the connection to your Higher-Self, that beautiful silver cord, is not a product of the synapse of your brain. You knew that, didn’t you? You cannot intellectually examine the majesty of the divine. It’s done with the heart, the innate and the emotional body. Then balance that with the intellectual part of your brain, and you have mastery!

I know who’s here. How many of you have been trying to hold on to what you had? Do you remember the feelings that you had when you meditated in the older energy? It was a “known” energy. What about the connections you had with Spirit that made you smile, or the things that would make you feel good inside – and they are now missing? I know who’s here, and I know who’s listening. Well, let me tell you something, it’s coming back! But you may have to tune to another station to get it. So be aware of that. Don’t simply repeat the old ways. Try some new things. Feel the breath of God as it breathes peacefulness right now to you. That was number two, consciousness.

Number three is synchronicity. For some, it has stopped happening. You depend on it for your life, and it just isn’t happening. Now for Yawee, it’s a bit different. I told him personally that 2013 would feature synchronicity for him. But that is because he’s different and he needs to plant the seeds that will eventually begin the growth of what we described only a week ago as the new frontier on the African continent. This is something we have been saying for years, and now you got to hear it in this assemblage today – the beginning of that, right where we said it would happen. So Yawee is helping to facilitate the recalibration, instead of participating in it.

Synchronicity has been explained many times, but it requires that you be in sync with your intuitive self and your innate. But the benevolent connection to the template that you count on for your intuition has been readjusting itself for you, and it has been difficult. Things that you thought would happen didn’t, and things you thought would never happen did. This makes you question whether you’re doing it right, doesn’t it? I know who’s here, I know who’s listening. That’s going to change, and slowly you’ll get the sync back because the benevolent connection with the template source of your DNA is starting to align.

You are starting to receive a greater percentage of activation of your DNA as a Human race. Some of you will use it and some of you will not. But all of humanity is receiving it and not just a few. The Lightworkers, the old souls, have the wisdom of the Akash and they feel it and know it. They have the wisdom of the ancestors to listen to messages like these and to align to them.

Expect good things! Did you believe me a year ago when I told you about 2013? Well, believe me now. It starts to get better. Did I tell you that the old energy would die hard? It’s going to try to stop you. Now, again this old energy is not an entity out to get you. It’s simply dark energy that works in a certain way and balances with light. But be aware as you watch the news and you see certain kinds of actions. It’s not going to look good for a while because the news only reports the darkness.

Judgment, number four. Bad judgment. Some of you have made bad choices! Normally you don’t, so you sit there beating yourselves up because you made bad choices! In retrospect, you know better: “I’m an old soul, I should know better. I should know not to do this or that.” Perhaps you’ve gone certain places and created certain schemes but they didn’t work. Then you say to yourself, “I should know better.” But that’s what happens during a recalibration.

You see, you were not aligned to your “common senses” template, and your judgment is not what it normally is during a time of realignment. I told you a year ago it would be good if you climbed into a closet for a year and didn’t come out – have somebody feed you under the door so you wouldn’t have to interact with life. [Laughter] Of course, that’s Kryon humor, but you know what I’m saying. When you got out and about, and went through life making decisions that you make all the time, not all of them were good this year. Don’t let it bring you down. Consider 2013 a year in the dark if you want. You’ve been moving through a fog, which is clearing, and fog doesn’t clear all at once. As you slowly see further ahead, you will feel better about the road.

You’ll feel it getting better in many ways, dear ones. The connection, the alignment – nothing is better than a full alignment of DNA with the template of creation.

Benevolent DNA: Do you realize, Yawee, that you’re the first one to use this process on this scale? Do you realize, Yawee, what you can do from now on through the knowledge of these things? The “go there and stay there” is just the beginning. Try something even more stellar and be amazed! The whole quantum field of DNA knows who you are and what you’re doing, and with the whole Human Being allowing, it will work. It will work.

Finally, there’s fear. You’re a Lightworker and an old soul, and you continue to say, “Well, I’m really not afraid of anything.” Oh, yes you are! I’ve used the term before and it comes from my partner’s brain. Please forgive me if it isn’t that funny, but 2013 has been the year of, “Have a little fire, scarecrow?”

Unbalance can destroy everything you are and make you afraid of losing the core. It only takes a few things for you to doubt your spirituality, doesn’t it? “Am I doing it right? Spirit, am I doing it right? This shouldn’t be happening. What have I done wrong? Am I doing it right? Why are things going so wrong?” Dear ones, I’m here to tell you that nothing has gone wrong. Everything is as it should be, Lightworker, because you are the one who is recalibrating. Do you understand that?

Ninety percent of the planet is just sitting there feeling fine and nothing odd is happening. It’s because they’re not in touch with what the old soul is. They could be with free will and free choice, but they’re not interested. But you are. This is because you gave permission to recalibrate. How do you like that?

I want everybody who is listening and reading this right now to receive this gift that we are pushing to you. We are doing it in a quantum way, and I will ask you to release the fear! It’s an old energy paper tiger that says if things feel different, then something is wrong. But that is not truth. You’re doing everything right, everything right! In this process, it’s going to occur to you why you’re here and what you’re doing. Why you? Why now? Could it be that this was the plan all along?

Drop this false fear! Don’t let circumstances of a recalibrated year prompt you to lose your faith. Take your hand, if you wish, and grasp that of the Higher-Self right now, and don’t let go. Because the Higher-Self is offering this to you. It’s time to finish this nonsense of recalibration, feeling odd and unusual, or sick, or not knowing what’s wrong with you. It’s time to finish doubting who you are or trying to figure out why you have funny judgment and nonexistent synchronicity.

We’ve been with you the whole time and we told you it was coming. But when you get it, you don’t know why and many become fearful. It’s time to drop the fear. Things are going to start to align and when they do, the synchronicity of things that you are hoping for will start to click and start to settle. Some of you will have greater synchronicity than you ever imagined, and it will make up for 2013. You’ll start to understand why certain things happened the way they did.

Dear one, you’re an old soul. You’re the forerunner and the hope of the galaxy. I came in all those years ago to give you this channel tonight. Did you realize that? There was only hope back then that you would cross the bridge – that shift of the precession of the equinoxes – only hope. But then you firmly crossed it and now the work begins. Past 2013, the work will be that which starts to synchronize with you and who you are.

“Kryon, why do we have to go through this?” That’s why you’re called Lightworker, dear ones. Some of this is work – hard work.

We’re about to leave, and the next time I channel, it will be 2014. The year 2014 represents a “seven year”, a year of divinity. Let the seeds that you’ve planted through your health issues, your consciousness issues, your poor judgment and your fear be buried in the ground! Then water them with compassion and what will grow will be the beauty of what you always wanted. Let the ground yield the fruit of your hard work, eventually creating the turning point for peace on Earth.

Let compassion reign in YOU, dear ones, and stand tall that you made it. You made it.

And so it is.

8 Courageous Things Harry Potter Fans Did to Fight Real-Life Dark Forces

If Harry Potter were a real person, he’d fight child labor, voter suppression, and poverty. Here are our favorite ways Harry’s fans have taken his values from the page to the real world.

Andrew Slack finally read the Harry Potter series when he gave in to pressure from his students who were obsessed with Harry, the teenage wizard who uses magic, courage, and wit to confront dark forces and save the world.

Though the plot is fantastical, Slack, like millions before him, couldn’t stop talking about the books. But then he realized that if Harry Potter were a real person, he wouldn’t just stand around talking about himself. Harry Potter, Slack said, would “fight injustice in our world the way he fought injustice in his.”

Rowling created a world that made “fun of normalcy as an aspiration” and believed that “the weapon we have is love.”

That’s when Slack had the idea to mobilize Harry Potter fans around real-world problems—and it was easy for Slack to find parallels between the fictional stories and real-life issues.

In the Harry Potter series, author J.K. Rowling, who worked at Amnesty International prior to writing the books, wrote about inequality and even ethnic cleansing between pure-blood, half-blood, and muggle-born wizards, as well as non-magical people; werewolves forced to conceal their true identities from a culture that shames them; house elves that are enslaved and inherited down through generations; prisoners tortured in Azkaban, the wizard prison; and the use of consolidated media to control public opinion.

Most of all, says Slack, Rowling created a world that made “fun of normalcy as an aspiration” and believed that “the weapon we have is love.”

Just as Hermione Granger started the activist Society for the Promotion of Elvish Welfare (SPEW) to try to end the slavery of house elves and Harry started Dumbledore’s Army to fight Lord Voldemort, Slack started the Harry Potter Alliance—a movement of Harry Potter fans turning their deep love of the stories into real-world action in order to “fight injustice in our world.”

Today, the HPA has 190 chapters in 35 U.S. states and eight countries and participation in the group spans all ages.

Slack and the HPA believe in the power of story to change the world and they believe that activism can be fun and lighthearted, even when the societal issues they’re confronting are serious. Slack calls this method of making the world a better place through popular culture, “cultural acupuncture.”

“Imagine people working to end global warming, racism, and genocide as energetically as they flock to movies,” wrote Slack for the Huffington Post. “Imagine them walking out of Avatar with an organization that says, ‘Here’s how we can band together to protect Pandora by fighting the “Sky People” in the Coal Industry.'”

Here are eight issues the HPA has already taken on:

1. Labor rights

The Harry Potter Alliance took off when Slack and his friend Seth Soulstein, from their traveling comedy group, the Late Night Players, joined with the group Walmart Watch and created “Harry Potter and the Dark Lord Waldemart” YouTube videos.

The featured main character is a cloaked figure with a Walmart smiley face for a head, the evil Waldemart. The videos describe Walmart’s unjust labor practices and how their low prices force local shops out of business.

Just as Lord Voldemort treats his servants poorly (for example, SPOILER ALERT!, he chops off Wormtail’s hand and murders Professor Snape), Walmart, the world’s largest private employer, treats its workers unfairly.

2. Fascism and genocide

The group rose in popularity when Slack and Soulstein combined efforts with Harry and the Potters, a rock band based on the books. Their first move was to mobilize already existing Harry Potter fan groups around ending genocide in Darfur.

This theme shows up in the books when, controlled by Voldemort and his Deatheaters, the Ministry of Magic establishes a policy of ethnic cleansing, believing people with impure or non-wizard blood have no worth.

The group worked with Sifa Nsengimana, a Rwandan human rights activist. With her help, in addition to creating a podcast, raising awareness, and sending letters to end genocide, the group established a library in Rwanda for children who were orphaned because of the genocide.

3. Disaster relief

With the help of the Wizard Rock community, HPA raised more than $123,000 in two weeks for Partners In Health following the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. With this money, PIH was able to fly five planes full of emergency medical supplies to Haiti. Four of the planes had Harry Potter names—Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Dumbledore—while the fifth was named DFTBA (Don’t Forget to Be Awesome) in honor of Nerdfighters, a group that joined with the HPA on the campaign.

4. Education

The Harry Potter series largely takes place at Hogwarts, the school of witchcraft and wizardry. In the books, education plays a central role and the lead heroine is Hermione Granger, a young witch who demonstrates the role of books and education in fighting injustice and empowering people.

The Alliance has donated more than 120,000 books to kids in Rwanda, the Mississippi Delta, and New York City through its “Accio Books” campaign. They also helped build libraries at the New Beginnings Charter School in Brooklyn and in community centers across the Mississippi Delta.

5. Modern-day slavery and child labor

Dobby the house elf, one of the series’ most beloved characters, is a slave who has been passed down through generations in the Malfoy family. When Harry tricks Lucius Malfoy, the family patriarch, into freeing Dobby, Harry earns the elf’s undying loyalty. Dobby, as a free elf, achieves self-realization.

And Harry Potter fans have made the connection between house elf slavery and modern-day slavery.

HPA is currently pressuring Warner Brothers, which sells Harry Potter chocolate frogs (a common sweet in the books), to prove there is no child slavery in their cocoa supply chain. The Alliance even sells their own version of chocolate frogs made from fair-trade chocolate.

6. Voter registration

The Harry Potter books demonstrate the importance of civic participation by highlighting the government’s role and its potential to overreach. More often than not, Harry Potter and his friends are at odds with the Ministry of Magic.

The HPA has used this connection in their “Wizard Rock the Vote” campaign. At 70 Wizard Rock shows across the nation, HPA volunteers walked around with clipboards registering more than 1,100 Harry Potter fans to vote.

7. Immigration and marriage equality

In the Harry Potter series, many “people have to live in the closet for simply being who they are,” explains Slack. “Lupin has to live in the closet for his identity as a werewolf, Hagrid has to live in the closet for his identity as a half-giant, and Harry Potter is forced to live in the closet for his identity as a wizard. We all live in closets for multiple reasons. No one should have to, including for their immigration status or for their sexual or gender orientation.” That’s why the HPA raised more than $94,800 for equality initiatives.

In the 2012 election, club members helped in phone banks to add 900 calls to the Maryland DREAM Act to grant an in-state tuition discount to undocumented college students and to add support of marriage equality in Maine. In 2011 they made 6,200 phone calls and processed 214 digital postcards in support of marriage equality in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. The HPA also currently has a “Superman Is an Immigrant” campaign to support immigrant rights.

8. Structural poverty

The HPA is branching out into other books too. The “Hunger is Not a Game” campaign joined with Oxfam and the Hunger Games fandom to help end hunger. Their newest campaign is “The Odds Are In Our Favor” to raise awareness about inequality.

2013 Heat Records

By: Dr. Jeff Masters, 2:43 PM GMT on January 20, 2014 +23

It was another notable year for all-time heat records in 2013, with six nations and three territories tying or setting records for hottest temperature on record. No nations set an all-time cold record in 2013. For comparison, five countries and two territories set all-time hottest temperature records in 2012, and the most all-time national heat records in a year was twenty nations and one territory in 2010. Since 2010, 45 nations or territories have set or tied all-time heat records, but only one nation has set an all-time cold temperature record. Since each of those years ranked as one of the top eleven warmest years in Earth’s history, and 2010 was the warmest year on record, this sort of disparity in national heat and cold records is to be expected. Most nations do not maintain official databases of extreme temperature records, the national temperature records I report here are in many cases not official. I use as my source for international weather records Maximiliano Herrera, one of the world’s top climatologists, who maintains a comprehensive list of extreme temperature records for every nation in the world on his website. If you reproduce this list of extremes, please cite Maximiliano Herrera as the primary source of the weather records. Wunderground’s weather historian Christopher C. Burt maintains a database of these national heat and cold records, for 235 nations and territories, on wunderground.com’s extremes page.


Figure 1. A moose takes a dip to cool off in a backyard pool in this photo taken in Big Lake, Alaska on June 17, 2013, by Lonea Moore McGowen (Courtesy KTUU-TV.) Bentalit Lodge, Alaska hit 36.7°C (98°F) on June 17, tying the mark set in Richardson on 15 June 1969 for hottest undisputed temperature in Alaska history. The official heat record for Alaska remains the 100°F registered at Fort Yukon on June 27, 1915. However, there are questions concerning this figure as outlined by our weather historian, Christopher C. Burt.

New all-time national heat records set in 2013

Heard and McDonald Islands (uninhabited territory of Australia) set a new all-time heat record of 26.1°C (79°F) at Split Bay on 1 March. Previous record: 21.6°C set at the same station in April 1992.

Ghana tied its all time highest temperature record with 43.0°C (109.4°F) at Navrongo on 6 March; the same value had also been recorded on 25 February 2010 and 19 April 2010 at the same location.

The United States tied its highest undisputed temperature at the Furnace Creek Visitors Center, Death Valley California, with 53.9°C (129°F) on 30 June. The only higher temperatures ever recorded on the planet occurred in Death Valley on July 10, 12, and 13, 1913, when readings of 134°F, 130°F, and 131°F were recorded. These 100-year-old official hottest temperatures in Earth’s history have many doubters, though, including Mr. Burt, who noted in a 2010 blog post that “The record has been scrutinized perhaps more than any other in the United States. I don’t have much more to add to the debate aside from my belief it is most likely not a valid reading when one looks at all the evidence.

St. Pierre et Miquelon, a French territory off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada, set its all time highest temperature record with 28.3°C (82.9°F) at the St. Pierre Airport on 6 July. Previous record: 28.0°C at St. Pierre town in August 1876 and August 1935.

Greenland, a territory of Denmark, set a new all time highest temperature with 25.9°C (78.6°F) at Maniitsoq Airport on 30 July. Previous record: 25.5°C at Kangerlussuaq on 27 July 1990. There is a claimed 30.1°C measurement at Ivigtut on 23 June 1915, but this is almost certainly a mistake, since the reading doesn’t fit at all with the hourly data of that day, and the station in over a century has never recorded any temperature above 24°C.

Austria set a new national record of highest temperature with 39.9°C (103.8°F) at Dellach im Drautal on 3 August, which beat the old record of 39.7°C set at the same location on 27 July 1983. The 3 August 2013 record was beaten again on 8 August 2013, with a 40.5°C (104.9°F) reading recorded at Bad Deutsch-Altenburg.

Slovenia also set a new all time heat record on 8 August, with 40.8°C at Cerklje Ob krki. Previous record: 40.6°C set at Crnomelj on 5 July 1950.

Japan set a new all-time heat record with 41.0°C (105.8°F) at Shimanto on 12 August. Previous record: 40.9°C at Tajimi and at Kumagaya on 16 August 2007.

Comoros tied its national record of highest temperature at the Hahaya Int. Airport with 35.6°C (96.1°F) on 19 November; the same value was recorded at the former Moroni Airport (its location looks to have been very close of the current international airport) on 31 December 1960.

The 129.2°F (54.0°C) reading was the highest June temperature ever measured on Earth. Photo courtesy of Death Valley National Park and NWS-Las Vegas. Note, though, since only whole Fahrenheit figures are official in the U.S., the value was registered as 129°F.

Notable global heat and cold records set in 2013
Hottest temperature in the world in 2013: 53.9°C (129°F) at Death Valley, California, June 30
Coldest temperature in the world in 2013: -81.7°C (-115°F) at Dome A, Antarctica, July 31
Hottest temperature in the Southern Hemisphere: 49.6°C (121.3°F) at Moomba Aero, Australia, January 12
Coldest temperature in the Northern Hemisphere: -64.2°C (-83.6°F) at Summit GEO, Greenland, March 4

Number of major world stations which set their all time highest temperature in 2013: 389
Number of major world stations which set their all time lowest temperature in 2013: 12

On 27 February, 2013, a new February all-time heat record for the Northern Hemisphere was set with 44.5°C (112.1°F) at Abu Na’ Ama (Sudan). Previous record: 44.4°C with two former record holders: Kayes in Mali, and Kiffa in Mauritania.

A day for the history books: European heat wave of 8 August 2013
An incredible heat wave over Central Europe on 8 August 2013 was a day for the history books of world climatology, with two nations and three world capitals setting all-time heat records on the same day. Dozens of stations in six European countries also set all-time heat records that day. The three capitals that set new all-time heat records on 8 August:

Vienna, Austria reached 39.5°C (103.1°F), beating the previous city record of 38.9°C which was recorded in July 1957.

Bratislava, Slovakia reached 39.4°C (102.9°F), beating the previous city record of 38.9°C set in July 2007.

Ljubljana, Slovenia reached as high as 40.2°C (104.4°F), beating for the FIFTH TIME IN SIX DAYS the old record of 38.0°C set in June 1935. This is particularly amazing, since the city has about 150 years of data. This is the sequence:

3 August 38.3°C
4 August 38.4°C
6 August 38.6°C
7 August 39.5°C
8 August 40.2°C

One other world capital set an all-time heat record in 2013: Bangkok, Thailand, which reached 40.1°C (104.2°F) in the Metropolis Station on 26 March, beating the previous record of 40.0°C set in April 1979 and April 2012.

A big thanks goes to Maximiliano Herrera for providing the information in this post.

New Zealand Earthquake 1/20

Very strong moderately dangerous below the North Island, New Zealand (Palmerston area) – minor damage

Last update: January 20, 2014 at 1:45 pm by By

This report has also been compiled with the help of Ovidiu Pop

Update 04:29 UTC : Plate Tectonics at the North Island
Along the east side of New Zealand’s North Island the oceanic Pacific tectonic plate subducts westward at 4-5 cm/yr
More than a dozen slow slip events (also known as “silent” earthquakes) have been recorded in New Zealand between 2002 and 2012. Scientists have only been able to detect them recently due to the advent of global positioning system (GPS) equipment which can detect sub-centimetre changes in land movements. As part of the GeoNet project in New Zealand, continuously operating GPS have been installed throughout the country. The GeoNet cGPS data show that these silent earthquakes occurring deep under New Zealand are changing the shape of parts of the North Island over time periods of weeks to years. Read the full article here
A similar event than today occurred in 1990. The scientific in-depth report of this earthquake can be consulted here.
Based on our historic map below (major earthquakes since 1900) a M6.8 at a depth of 12 km! occurred close to today’s epicenter in 1917

Screen Shot 2014-01-20 at 05.27.55

Update 04:16 UTC : There are NO reports of injuries so far. Minor (hopefully insured) damage like cracks is reported from many locations.
The video below was recorded at a dog race. The camera shows the strong shaking at Sky Racing.

Update 04:04 UTC : Geonet has reviewed the hypocenter a second time and now reports a depth of 33 km.

Update 03:48 UTC : There are reports of rockfall in the Manawatau Gorge. TranzMetro has suspended all train services in the capital and is replacing them with buses.

Update 03:36 UTC : The earthquake occurred in a sparsely populated area of the North Island. The reports of people living closest to the epicenter are confirming our expectations. These people are reporting strong shaking but NO damage.

Update 03:32 UTC : The many aftershocks are now visible on the seismogram below

Screen Shot 2014-01-20 at 04.32.16

Update 03:25 UTC : the earthquake has been felt all over the North Island and the South Island. Geonet has now updated the depth to 50 km  (from 65 earlier). We maintain our expectation that minor damage is still possible but that there will be no fatalities or seriously injured people. This is confirmed by the many Experience Reports who have reached Geonet (see below).

Update 03:20 UTC : Continuous aftershocks are reported by Geonet

Update 03:15 UTC : Geonet has a preliminary depth of 65 km. Other seismological agencies mostly report shallower depths. If the Geonet depth will be the final one, we expect at least some minor (insured) damage in an area of approx. 30 km from the epicenter. We do however not expect fatalities.

New Structures Discovered on Moon

Google Moon Reveals Many Artificial Craters On The Moon And More!, Jan 2014, UFO Sighting News.

Date of discovery: Unknown
Location of sighting: Earths Moon
Coordinates: 22°42’48.71″N 142°35’12.58″E

Sometimes when you are looking for something…you find it and then some. Here is such a case. I wanted to confirm a structure someone emailed me about today, but I was clearly distracted by so many structures that I lost count in the first minute. Here are some screenshots I took while looking at Google Moon. Just copy and paste the coordinates into the search box and hit google moon. But don’t stop there. Have a look around and maybe, just maybe it may open your mind more than you thought possible.

What we have here are artificial craters that are actually alien structures. Not five or ten, but thousands, so relax and zoom in on some of these amazing and thought provoking structures. They are real, both the structures and alien species. But if its too much for you, take a deep breath and go do something else…and come back when you are ready. SCW

Click Photo to enlarge.
Click to enlarge, but looks better if you search Google Map for it.
To find it look for the black square on the moon. Looks like the photos below.  All the structures are all around this black area square…no one location…you will see.
Go to this area to find the pyramid or triangle structure below.
Photo below shows exact location of triangle structure.

Napa Considering GMO Labeling

County may be asked to vote on GMO labels

Advocacy group pushing for state/federal legislation
January 01, 2014 3:00 pm  •  PETER JENSEN

California voters rejected a ballot initiative that would label foods containing genetically modified organisms just over a year ago, but the issue continues to persist in Napa County.

The Napa County Local Food Advisory Council is preparing a recommendation to send to the Board of Supervisors supporting labeling such foods, Agricultural Commissioner Greg Clark said.

The recommendation is currently in draft form, but should reach the elected officials in the new year, Clark said. It would urge state and federal agencies and officials to support labeling, as they have the regulatory authority to impose that requirement.

The push locally proves that, despite a loss at the polls in November 2012, activists continue to press the issue. Proposition 37, which would have required the labeling, failed when it garnered 48.6 percent support, needing a simple majority to pass, according to the California Secretary of State’s Office.

Opponents of the initiative, which were well-funded by agricultural and industrial interests, outspent proponents $45 million to $6.7 million.

A subcommittee of the food council is working on the recommendation, Clark said, and is planning to bring it to the full council at its meeting in January.

With the council’s support, it would then move onto the Napa County Board of Supervisors. Clark was uncertain if it would need to go through the board’s legislative subcommittee, or if it could be put on the full board’s agenda for a discussion and potential vote.

Community members pressed local elected officials to take a stance on the issues, and retiring Agricultural Commissioner Dave Whitmer and Clark felt the food council was the appropriate place to debate it.

“The food council was the perfect entity to have that discussion,” Clark said.

The debate over GMOs fosters sharply different points of view on the health of foods containing GMOs, and the need to label them in the name of consumers’ rights. Clark acknowledged the challenge in keeping the debate solely on labeling and not debate health issues.

“Sometimes it’s a challenge to keep the focus on labeling,” Clark said. “There’s a tendency among people to passionately state their interest.”

Clark said the recommendation is careful to focus only on labeling, and not stray into the broader debate about GMOs.

“We’ve been very deliberate to say this is about labeling — just labeling,” Clark said.

The day begins with distraction and lack of focus.  You are perhaps feeling that there is something you need to get done, and even while you are busy with other things, that sense persists.  Give in to it.  Look around you and see what is there.  As you do so, you may find that some things are taking on a slightly different aspect.  Other things might not mean so much to you as they did before.  Yes, the shift is happening and you are sensing it.  The difference in perspective, the changes of priorities, the questioning of old values and rules — these are all a part of it.  Something new is awakening in you, and while is can unsettle you somewhat, nonetheless it brings with it a particular sense of joy and freedom that you have not felt for a long time, if ever.  Today you are feeling that new dawn.  Give blessing to what has been and open to accept and embrace what is coming.  You will see in Nature a recognition of your new openness.  Signs and Synchronicities.
