Uses for Epsom Salts

22 Remarkable Facts Why Epsom Salt Should Be In Every Home

image

Epsom salts have been used by many different cultures for hundreds of years.  They have a number of different beneficial properties and are used in gardening, household cleaning, and detoxifying the body.  These salts are very inexpensive and can be purchased at bulk discounts in garden centers nearly everywhere. Using Epsom salt baths is an advanced detoxification strategy that has remarkable health benefits.

Epsom salt is made up of magnesium and sulfate, which can help improve health in numerous ways. A lack of magnesium—which helps regulate the activity of more than 300 enzymes in the body—can contribute to high blood pressure, hyperactivity, heart problems and other health issues, doctors warn. Sulfate is essential for many biological processes, helping to flush toxins and helping form proteins in joints, brain tissue and mucin proteins.

22 Amazing uses of Epsom salt

Regulate Blood Sugar

Research indicates that raising magnesium levels can promote a healthy heart by improving circulation and lowering blood pressure. It also improves the body’s capacity to use insulin. Magnesium is necessary to sustain calcium levels in the blood.

Sulphates are not easily obtained through the food we eat but are absorbed through the skin. These stimulate the pancreas to make digestive enzymes and assist in detoxifying the body. Epsom Salt flushes toxins and heavy metals from the cells, easing muscle pain and helping the body to eliminate harmful substances.

Detoxification

Epsom salt can assist in eliminating toxins from the body. The magnesium in Epsom salt is required for detoxifying cells. It also helps detox the body of environmental contaminants that can potentially cause ill health.

To enjoy a relaxing detox bath, stir in 1 to 2 cups of Epson salt in a bathtub filled with warm water and soak in it for 10 to 15 minutes, 2 or 3 times a week.

Fade Bruises

To lessen the appearance of bruises, make a compress by soaking a washcloth in cold water mixed with Epsom salt – use two tablespoons per cup – then apply to the skin.

Treats Sunburn

Epsom salt is very soothing for sunburned skin. Its anti-inflammatory properties alleviate mild sunburn irritation like itchiness and pain. It can even help maintain an even skin tone.

  • To treat sunburned hands and legs, mix 2 tablespoons of Epsom salt in 1 cup of water and store it in a spray bottle. Spray it on the affected area. Leave it on for 10 minutes, then take a bath. Do this several times a week to notice improvement.
  • Another option is to fill a bathtub with lukewarm water and mix in 1 cup of Epsom salt, stirring thoroughly so the salt crystals dissolve properly. Add a few drops of lavender essential oil and soak in the water for 20 minutes.
Pest control
If you have lawn pests and you’re looking for natural insect control, consider turning to Epsom salt. A spray solution on the lawn can control insects without damaging the grass, and it’s totally nontoxic. Sprinkle some dry Epsom salt to deter slugs and snails.
Fertilizer
Some plants like tons of food, especially roses. Work some Epsom salt into the soil around them to keep them happy, especially during blooming season, when you want them producing beautiful, long-lasting flowers. Palm trees and tomatoes are also big fans of Epsom salt!
Quick bruise treatment
Use a warm compress with Epsom salt to fade the appearance of bruises. They won’t vanish like magic, but they won’t be as large, or as painful. Use a solution of two tablespoons Epsom salt per cup of water for best effect.
Body scrub

After you shower, rub your skin with Epsom salts using circular movements. It removes dead skin cells and leaves skin soft.

Soothe Bug Bites

Dissolve 1/4 cup of Epsom salts in a cup of warm water. Cool the mixture in the refrigerator. Apply with a cotton ball to bug bites to soothe pain and itching.

 Remove Splinters
According to the Epsom Salt Council, Epsom salt increases osmotic pressure on the skin, which draws foreign bodies toward the surface. Dissolve one cup of Epsom salt in a tub of water and soak the affected area.

Keep Houseplants Healthy

Add 1-2 tablespoons of Epsom salts per gallon of water to nourish your houseplants.

Relief from muscular pain
An Epsom salts bath can promote detoxification through the skin and they are traditionally used as a soaking agent to bring relief from muscular pain and stiffness.
Improves Digestion
Epsom salt assists in the elimination of harmful toxins and waste products from the body and the digestive system. It also works as a laxative to soften stools, making them easier to pass, and can be used to treat constipation.Dissolve 1 or 2 teaspoons of Epsom salt in 1 cup of warm water and drink it on an empty stomach once a day. When taken internally, Epsom salt can cause some side effects, including gastrointestinal irritation, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting. Consult your doctor before taking Epsom salt. Do not take it longer than 1 week.
Also, soaking in an Epsom salt bath helps reduce water retention and tummy bloating.
Remedy for colds and flu

Take a hot bath with Epsom salts when you feel you’re catching a cold as it helps the body to fight infection more easily and recover faster.

It helps you sleep better

Epsom salts relaxes the body and helps you sleep better. Take hot baths with Epsom salts in the evening, an hour before sleep. It helps to increase the level of magnesium in the body. Lack of magnesium brings fatigue, stress, heart disease and joint pain. So, fill the tub with warm water and mix it with a cup of Epsom salts and a cup of baking soda and just relax.

Removes feet odor

Keep your feet in warm water with Epsom salts to get rid of odor, pain or heavy legs feeling. Do it for 15-20 minutes as it improves blood circulation, reduce inflammation and soften skin.

For Achy Joints, Bruises and Sprains

Soak in a warm bath with 2 cups of Epsom salts to relieve pain in joints, bruises and sprains.

Remove Burnt Food on Pots and Pans

Overcook that oatmeal? Scrub out your pots and pans with a few tablespoons of Epsom salts, a little soap, and hot water to remove burnt food easily.

Grow Better Flowers, Fruits and Veggies

Whether you’re growing roses or tomatoes, sprinkling a few tablespoons on Epsom salts at the base of your plants can keep them healthy and maximize yield.

Epsom Salt improves nerve function

By regulating electrolytes. Also, calcium is the main conductor for electrical current in the body, and magnesium is necessary to maintain proper calcium levels in the blood

Epsom salt also delivers sulfates

which are extremely difficult to get through food but which readily absorb through the skin. Medical research indicates sulfates are needed for the formation of brain tissue, joint proteins and the mucin proteins that line the walls of the digestive tract. Sulfates also stimulate the pancreas to generate digestive enzymes and help to detoxify the body’s residue of medicines and environmental contaminants.

Sulfates are important for forming brain tissue, joint proteins, stimulates the pancreas, and mucin proteins.

Senators in Charge of Science Policy Score an F in Science

Well, this is more than a little depressing: The politician who tried reducing NASA funding (and successfully shut it down for over two weeks) is now in charge of the senate subcommittee that effectively controls NASA. More than that, one of the most vocal climate-change detractors is now in charge of the United States Senate’s Environmental committee. Let’s let that sink in for a minute, shall we? Despite all the progress we’ve made so far with things like unmanned, deep-space space-flight and our efforts toward limiting the negative effects that humans have had on the environment, any future plans are now up in the air. Any major scientific progress is now at the mercy of Republican senators Ted Cruz and James Inhofe. With their actions and words over the recent years, the pair have proved just how little they understand about each area they’re now controlling.

In addition to exploring the reaches of space, NASA also has done a number of climate change studies — something that Cruz also is an opponent of. He once told CNN that climate change was a hoax and a bogus theory that was designed to be immune to detractors. “They’ll [scientists] say, well, it’s changing so it proves our theory.” He maintains that the problem with climate change is there’s no data to support it and that “there has never been a day in the history of the world in which the climate is not changing.” If you’re curious why he was on camera in the first place, it was to espouse his energy bill that, among other things, would repeal “harmful” EPA regulations and promote more oil drilling.

In 2013, however, he said that it’s “critical” that the US maintains its continued leadership in space. How he intends to do that isn’t exactly clear given his track record.

Inhofe, on the other hand, is even more keen to undo emissions regulations, according to The Independent. Why? He thinks that rising world-wide temperatures might be an asset:

“It’s also important to question whether global warming is even a problem for human existence. Thus far, no one has seriously demonstrated any scientific proof that increased global temperatures would lead to the catastrophes predicted by alarmists. In fact, it appears that just the opposite is true: that increases in global temperatures may have a beneficial effect on how we live our lives.”

That stands in stark contrast to what the some 97 percent of climate scientists — and non-climate scientists, like Stephen Hawking — have to say about climate change. For his part, Hawking compares climate change to a threat on par with nuclear weaponry.

The pair of lawmakers have proven time and again that they have a shocking misunderstanding of the world around them and now they’re in positions of direct power over topics they don’t grasp. Whether it’s due to willful ignorance or a simple refusal to accept fact is anyone’s guess. To quote Neil deGrasse Tyson, the good thing about science is that it’s true, whether or not you believe in it. Unfortunately, “science” can’t write legislation or filibuster, but Ted Cruz and James Inhofe can.

Another Take on the Paris Tragedy

As always, DO YOUR RESEARCH.   The author is controversial as is the material.

The French Connection – False Flags and the Charlie Hebdo Incident

The French Connection – False Flags and the Charlie Hebdo Incident 300x191 The French Connection – False Flags and the Charlie Hebdo Incident13th January 2015

By Jay Dyer

Guest Writer for Wake Up World

A new year brings resolutions, and for the establishment, their resolutions are quite clear: more of the same! More false flags, more media circus and staged news, ad infinitum, ad nauseam.

Last week, we all awoke to news the Onion-like French satire publication Charlie Hebdo had been attacked by terrorists, with Al Qaeda taking responsibility for the murder of several media figures. While it is tempting to get bogged down in “fluid” situation details, we must always recall similar patterns of such events in the recent past which will serve to inform the greater context of this new event in the never-ending “war on terror”.

Naturally, the first operation that comes to mind is Gladio, the infamous NATO “stay behind” operations in Europe during the Cold War that utilized terror attacks and shootings in public venues (amongst other things) to later be blamed on leftist and socialist groups.  Gladio thus represents the so-called “conservative” side of the dialectic running operations against the so-called left. The Aldo Moro incident in Italy, for example, involved a staged assassination of a socialist minister by a NATO-run Marxist front. NATO/Gladio operations have never ceased, as we see the same patterns at work in more recent false flags.

French intelligence works hand in hand with NATO and other western intelligence agencies, and have been involved in the training of the radical Islamic offshoots of Al Qaeda in attempts to topple Assad, for example.  The “Free Syrian Army” has notoriously been armed and funded by Atlanticist power elites since 2012, when the CFR called for more use of Al Qaeda and the FSA, to 2013, when we saw Senator John McCain and others meeting with rebranded Al Qaeda leaders. As we look back on events associated with French and Euro terror, the images converge.

In 1995, Rachid Ramda, a member of radical Islamic organizations predictably titled “Islamic Salvation Front” and the “Armed Islamic Group”, bombed the French RER subway, killing eight. According to an interview with Liberacion.fr, Ramda described his past involvement with western NGOs and Doctors Without Borders, both classic intelligence covers, casting doubt on the official narrative of Ramda as the typical fundamentalist stage prop of so many mainstream media terror tales. This event recalls the NGO affiliations of the so-called ISIS video victims, as well as Tamerlan Tsarnaev.

In 2004, we saw a similar media fiasco with the agitprop style provocation from the caricatures of Mohammed in Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh’s “Submission: Part I”, which led to van Gogh’s retaliatory death.  A violent standoff ensued, with a terror cell in The Hague. Then, from 2005-2010 we saw Danish papers create a soap opera scandal with numerous mockings of Mohammed in the Jyllands-Posten paper. We are also reminded of the dubious association of the “Mohammed” film the western establishment attempted to link to the Benghazi incident that curiously occurred on the anniversary of 9/11 in 2012. Former CIA operative Claire Lopez reported in October of 2012 several highly suspect details surrounding Benghazi that suggest a false flag, such as weapons transfers to Al Qaeda in Libya, as well as security for the facility being outsourced to Blue Mountain, a group with Muslim Brotherhood ties.

In my estimation, last week’s attack bears striking resemblances to the Anders Breivik attack of 2011, which reportedly involved a “right wing” terrorist masterminding the Norway massacre. As is often the case, however, Breivik had numerous establishment ties to Western intelligence operations, and claimed to be a “Templar”, giving intimations of Masonic involvement. Breivik comes to mind due to the curious connections of Francois Hollande with Grand Orient Masonry, a far leftist, socialist and atheistic version of Masonry that has existed in France since the Jacobins and the French Revolution. Hollande’s coterie are also variously members of the Bilderberg Group, such as Manuel Valls.

Breivik also had a preproduced “manifesto” that soon appeared online, leading to speculations about its remarkable plagiaristic elements from previous “lone nut” manifestos, such as MK ULTRA test subject, the “Unabomber” Ted Kaczynski. (Think of Elliot Rogers’ “manifesto” as well.) Breivik seems to be a “right wing” Euro version of the radical Islamic terror patsy, while above these dupes are the intelligence agencies and secret societies, themselves subservient to international power entities like Bilderberg and the banks.

top 5 signs of a false flag terror attack 300x256 The French Connection – False Flags and the Charlie Hebdo IncidentWhat begins to emerge is a consistent pattern of interlocking and interconnected intelligence agencies at the level of “terror event,” as well as their assets that all serve the same establishment perched on top.  When we consider French intelligence, the fingerprints are no different, as French intelligence has had a long history of false flags and dirty dealings along with their western counterparts in NATO. France helped train the Al Qaeda-linked rebels along with US and British forces in Jordan, a longtime CIA puppet state. Arms and sand pirates are in steady supply for western intelligence agencies needing distractions or desiring to ramp up the terror/security theater. France was also involved in the failed March 2014 Turkish false flag attempt aimed at laying the blame once again on Syria and Assad, and by extension, encroaching further on Russia.

French intelligence also appears to have played a role in the Diana assassination according to Gordon Thomas, in his book Gideon’s Spies, who argues Henri Paul was manipulated by the Mossad to spy on Diana, but ultimately she suffered her demise under questionable circumstances that lead back to Mi6 and French intelligence (Gideon’s Spies, pgs. 1-25). It is known that Mi6 was “in town” and SAS soldiers may have been the culprits.

Likewise, the Ottawa shooting of 2014 in Canada also bears numerous hallmarks of false flags. With so many shootings of late that seem to evince similar patterns, as details emerge from today’s incident at Charlie Hebdo, we will likely see the same connections become evident. Let us also not forget the Toulouse siege of 2012 and synagogue killings involving yet another individual, Mohamed Merah, who was allowed to do quite a bit while having a pretty heavy rap sheet, much like the mad sheikh of the recent Sydney siege.

In summary, we find that Euro terror, and in particular, terror events involving in some tangential way connected to France bear all the same patterns and Atlanticist black op power bloc operations that have been at work since the Cold War and Gladio.

Paris Events Meet the False Flag Checklist

So does the recent Paris incident meet the false flag checklist?

There are questionable elements of the purported videos being run on mainstream media, from the man on the top of the building wearing a bulletproof vest as the shooting occurs supposedly live on the streets, to the remarkable emptiness of these streets in broad daylight. There are also discrepancies in the other videos concerning the shooting and the ballistics of the supposed bullet release, as 21stCentury Wire has noted. Charlie Hebdo itself appears to have published ahead of time what would occur, suggesting intelligence influence. The shooters also appear to have known details about the facility, what time the weekly meeting was, and how to enter the building, as well as speaking fluent French and demonstrating western military training, which is odd for “Yemeni Al Qaeda” the mainstream media has already hailed as the villains. On top of that, France had been working on new terror drills to ramp up security theater, and in this regard, the familiar drill as a cover motif may be present.

Numerous patterns consistent with false flags have made themselves apparent in the Paris shooting and hostage incidents. Also apparent are the predictable results that follow these events.

We have seen all of the following:

1. Mass mainstream media buildup and rollout, with ready-made “placards” to call global attention to event.

2. Questionable videos and details of the event, as well as drills or security buildup prior.

3. Military training for the perpetrators, while the “terror” suspects with deep state connections and rap sheets run free.

4. A false dialectic of left versus radicalism polarizing public consumption of propaganda.

5. Investigators and key individuals in the event end up “suicided”.

6. Media quickly fingers low IQ duped patsies based on magical ID appearance (think 9/11).

7. More funding for militarization, surveillance and police state with media replaying past terror events ad nauseam.

Webster Tarpley explains of the purpose of synthetic terror: “Terrorism thus has been known to provide a means of social control. Parts of the US oligarchy are today almost euphoric about the seemingly endless panorama of possibilities of exploiting terrorism they believe they see before them. But it is now wide to build an entire state and social order on terrorism.” (Synthetic Terror, pg. 88)

So, have the recent terror events in Paris met these criteria? Yes, they have.

1. CNN was already on the spot, with Anderson Cooper’s 360 live on the scene, while media and French security (as per usual) had already been hyping new measures in France.

2. The videos and details of the Paris shooting do not add up, and the videos contain numerous discrepancies worth considering; such as there is no blood, body movement or recoil from the shooting, while Couliabily’s femme fatale girlfriend has been conveniently written out of the script (as Patrick Henningsen commented to me).

3. The shooters were said to be military-trained and had contacts with terror cells and Anwar al-Awlaki, a known asset of western intelligence, as well as seeking revenge for the 1995 RER convction of Rachid Ramda. The terrorists had also reportedly returned from training in Syria, where the French, UK and US governments had been arming and training the Al-Qaeda affiliated “Free Syrian Army.” Coulibaly also met with French President Nicholas Sarkozy in 2009, looking for employment.

4. Media furor is in full force, polarizing the globe into a false dialectic of either standing with Charlie, or you are a terrorist. One thinks here of Bush’s notorious “You’re either with us, or with the terrorists” fear mongering, as if there are ever and always only two options in life, between a provocative satire of “freedom” or radical Islam.

5. A key investigator of the incidents has now turned up dead from, you got it, “suicide”. Important individuals in the 9/11 event mysteriously turned up dead, too, and members of the power structure that pry too deeply end up gone.

6. Soon after the shooting, Kouachi supposedly left his ID laying in a vehicle. This calls into question at least his supposed expertise and tactical training, and is also reminiscent of the passport of the 9/11 hijacker. What is more likely is that they had a handler who was intelligent, possibly the femme fatale who disappeared from the narrative, while the Jihad cut outs were duped.

7. In the wake of the events, freedom of speech and Internet monitoring are the buzzwords, with the Atlanticist establishment all singing in harmony the 9/11 narrative of needing more security, more surveillance, more police, more crackdowns – not on Jihadis running free with state knowledge, but on all citizens. Terrorism, you see, is a psychological attack on the public, and rogue, asymmetrical rogue terror is extremely rare. What is not rare is state-funded or private funded false flag terror.

As new details emerge, a clearer picture can be painted about the siege, but I feel confident we can expect all the same villains and cast of characters that come to play in the vaudeville variety show that is the global war on terror. The strategy of tension plan of the neocon establishment has long argued for a “clash of civilizations” between the “Judeo-Christian” nations and Islamic civilization to destabilize and remake the Middle East on the long march to the British Fabian great game of global technocratic government.

Using Belief to Create Money

The 6 Mental Steps I Took to Manifest A 6-Figure Salary

Talking openly about money is something many people don’t feel comfortable with. I’ll admit it, I feel vulnerable publicly announcing how much money I made last year, too.

But it’s this reluctance to be open about money that causes us to struggle with our finances. If we remain in the dark about any subject, we can’t improve it. Consciousness is the key to growth.

If you want to improve your financial reality this year, you have to bring awareness to your relationship with money. Below are steps I personally took to increase my awareness with money; follow these steps, and I guarantee you’ll improve your relationship with money, too.

1. I strengthened my wealth vibe.

The “vibe” you have about any subject is simply how you feel about it. It’s a belief system within you that has a certain energetic “frequency.”

For example, think about your childhood home. What does the memory of that home feel like to you? Whatever it feels like is its “vibe.”

The platform for creating more of anything in your life is strengthening the “vibe” within you. This was one of the first steps I took to improve my financial reality.

At the beginning of last year, my finances didn’t reflect what I thought of as “wealthy,” but I could still identify a feeling of “wealth” within me. As I practiced this wealth vibe, the frequency became easier for me to feel. Doing so strengthened my internal state of wealth, priming me to attract more money into my life.

2. I confronted my fears about money.

We all have limiting beliefs and fears about money. These are the beliefs that keep us stuck in a financial reality that isn’t working for us. In order to create more abundance in your life, you have to confront these fears.

To improve my finances, I had to ask myself: What beliefs about money are making me feel stuck?

By asking this simple question I was able to face my dysfunctional patterns with money (patterns such as: unconscious spending, under-saving, avoidance of money, etc). After these patterns where brought to light, I could take conscious steps to change them. This increased my confidence with money, automatically calling more of it to me.

3. I empowered myself through action.

You can’t become wealthy if you feel like money is more powerful than you. In order to be in the commanding position with your finances, you have to change your actions with money.

For me, this included creating a savings account (and actually putting money in it), increasing my rates to reflect the worth of my services, being aware of my spending, and other steps that helped me feel more empowered with money.

Making small changes that put me in charge of my finances increased my confidence, which in turn, strengthened my wealth vibe even more.

4. I recognized my true source of wealth.

As a spiritual person, I know that money is not my source of wealth; my connection to Source is my source of wealth.

What does that mean? It’s knowing that when I’m connected to my internal “vibe” of love and abundance, I feel complete. The seeking for anything melts away when I’m centered within. Connecting to Source (which I can do regardless of the money in my bank) will always make me feel infinitely wealthy.

Our external realities always reflect our internal realities; when I practiced staying connected to my true source of wealth within, more wealth naturally made it’s way to me.

5. I took inspired action.

As I simmered in a wealthy state of being, ideas naturally flowed to me that became my next steps in creating more income. Out of nowhere, an idea would pop in my head; if I felt excited about this new idea, I would immediately take action!

Inspired action feels like action your soul wants to take. It’s a great idea that you want to make happen!

By acting on ideas that naturally and effortlessly flowed to me, I was guided to ways of increasing my wealth that I’d never even imagined were there.

6. I believed.

Perhaps the most important step in creating your wealth is believing both in yourself and the power of the Universe.

Luckily, I already had plenty of proof that I create my reality from the inside out. Because I’ve done it in so many other areas of my life, I knew that by aligning to an internal state of wealth, more opportunities for money would make their way to me. I followed the steps, and once again, the Universe didn’t let me down.

As one of my favorite philosophers, Joseph Campbell, once said, “Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors where there were only walls.” Magic happens when you believe in yourself and the flow of creativity that’s available to us all.

Your internal reality is the foundation for everything you create in the world, including your wealth. Get to know your experience with money, connect to the vibe of wealth within, trust the Universe, and you will absolutely take your financial reality to the next level in 2015.

On Geo-Engineering

Chemtrails Exposed: Global Geo-Engineering Psy-Ops Documented

Haarp aurora 300x214 Chemtrails Exposed: Global Geo Engineering Psy Ops Documented

10th January 2015

By Jay Dyer

Guest Writer for Wake Up World

From Chemtrails to Directed Energy Weapons, the System is Set on Total Control.

There has been much speculation in the last few years as to the authenticity of the claims of “chemtrail” spraying of the ionosphere by secretive groups for unknown reasons, with such claims generally receiving the scorn of tinfoil hat insanity. Distinguished from “contrails”, the normal water and ice crystal formations that result from aircraft exhaust vapor, “chemtrails” is the popular name for aerosol spraying by planes in different layers of the atmosphere under the cover of numerous global geo-engineering programs.

Is this possible? Could there widespread global aerosol spraying programs?

Not only this possible, it’s already being done, and has been going on for decades. With origins in World War II cloud-seeding, the development of weather modification and mass geo-engineering programs is no longer even covert, with numerous papers, programs and examples now made public.

With this in mind, it is somewhat shocking the number of trolls and deniers that exist, telling us daily these are fictions of paranoid conspiracists, while any of the above notions can be easily verified with a few minutes of research. Of course, this is not likely to happen, as much of the public has never heard of the Royal Society much less “geo-engineering”, since Kim Kardashian’s butt seems a much more accurate weather vane of the tides of public interest.

Geo-Engineering the Climate: Science, Governance and Uncertainty

In this article, I will document several papers from officialdom, including scientific journals and white papers that demonstrate these programs are real. Not only will we see they are real, we will in fact see these programs integrate with one another and provide the establishment the potential for tremendously disastrous social engineering effects, as well as environmental dangers that result from such dark pragmatic scientistic ends.

Our first document under survey is the Royal Society report “Geoengineering the Climate: Science, Governance and Uncertainty”, a 2009 paper that details the various potentialities for numerous approaches to curbing CO2 emissions, naturally tied in with population reduction and a return to neo-feudalistic model of global economic realignment.

Given that the United Nations was established by Royal Society backing, the “Agenda 21″ implementation we have heard much about in the last few decades is part of a much larger strategy foisted upon the global community by these very shadow players. I have detailed previously the connection between mass depopulation, economic overhauls and realignment and the so-called dangers of resource-based economies being directed into a staged crisis by the corporate elite.

geoengineeringmethods climatecentral 300x212 Chemtrails Exposed: Global Geo Engineering Psy Ops DocumentedRoyal Society/IPCC image of methods of geoengineering. Notice the “space mirrors.” Image: assets.climatecentral.org

In perfect establishment orthodoxy, the Royal Society paper promotes all the classic fear-based canards of melting ice caps, Malthusian disasters, etc., that have been the harpy screech for some 40 years, not the least of which has manifested. However, for our purposes here, we see the Royal Society is very much a proponent of atmospheric aerosol spraying:

“Mimicking the effects of volcanic eruptions by injecting sulphate aerosols into the lower stratosphere..” (pg. XII)

“Of the Solar Radiation Management methods considered, stratospheric aerosols are currently the most promising because their effects would be more uniformly distributed than for localised Solar Radiation Management methods, they could be much more readily implemented than space-based methods, and would take effect rapidly (within a year or two of deployment).” (pg. XIII)

This is an interesting claim, as Lord Rees, an important member and contributor to this report authored a book, Just Six Numbers, on the mathematical tuning of the universe, expounding how it demonstrates an amazing balance of symmetry creating the conditions for life. Yet here, we are threatened with humans tipping the perfect balance because humans exist as carbon-based beings, drive cars and fart – cows, too! Like an inside joke from the kleptocryptocracy, the double-talk of promoting a universe with telos and order, and at the same time requiring a mass genocide and reorganization by the scientific priest-class smacks more of a con job than a legitimate scientific endeavor. Rees would have us believe the universe perfectly balances itself to “create” life, and then the IPCC and U.N. will step in to save us from a conversely chaotic, meaningless universe. Which is it? The following quote is highly revealing:

“The greatest challenges to the successful deployment of geoengineering may be the social, ethical, legal and political issues associated with governance, rather than scientific and technical issues. For some methods, like ambient air capture, pre-existing national mechanisms are likely to be sufficient, for others, such as ocean iron fertilisation, existing international mechanisms may be relevant but require some modification. There will however be some methods, particularly those that require transboundary activity or which have transboundary effects, for example stratospheric aerosols or space-based mirrors, which may require new international mechanisms. Appropriate governance mechanisms for deployment should be established before Carbon Dioxide Removal or Solar Radiation Management methods are actually needed in practice.” (pg. 13)

Translation: The pesky humans (carbon) and their morals will get in the way of our program, so we will need to do it covertly under the guise of science and global crises. Space-based mirrors will be needed to aid in the reflecting process, we are told, yet if my analysis is correct, and the invention of the climate threat is a scam, the real reason for “space-based” technology of this sort would likely be weaponized. Modern science itself is not based on altruism – on the contrary, most modern technological advancements are based around militarization and global population management (and destruction).

Have we seen any examples of some space-based weapon with similar features? In fact we have, as I have written numerous times about the Skynet grid that will incorporate the Internet, global tracking, micro chipped humans and directed energy weapons. A “mirror” in space to reflect “radiation,” or a space based directed energy weapon named Skynet – which do you think is more likely? The 1996 fas.org paper from the Air Force has Skynet described as “Figure 4-1. Cyber Situation Vision: “Eye” See Everything.” I believe this “eye” is the real “mirror”, as the geo-engineering programs are intimately connected to weaponized weather control programs and psychological warfare (“psy ops”), as we will see.

The report continues:

“A wide range of types of particles could be released into the stratosphere with the objective of scattering sunlight back to space. Important factors that differentiate the effects of different types of particles include their size, and whether or not they conduct electricity (Teller et al. 1997, 2002). For non-conducting particles, the optimal size for scattering sunlight is a few tenths of a micron. Particles much larger than this become effective at scattering outgoing long wave (heat) radiation and thus have potential to cause a warming influence.” (pg. 29)

 

The Teller mentioned is Dr. Edward Teller, the maker of they Hydrogen bomb and physicist who is a big name in pioneering atmospheric spraying and weather modification. Teller is cited often in on these reports and papers, and his high pedigree as a bomb manufacturer should immediately raise eyebrows concerning his weather and climate modification designs. Is the bomb creator now suddenly a humanitarian who wants to save earth from the “climate” and “carbon”? Or are they part of the shadow military industrial subversion complex that seeks full spectrum dominance over all life? Let’s be realistic here. The manipulation and control envisioned here is the weaponization of the entirety of man’s environment, ultimately for the purpose of control and depopulation: The same establishment behind the NSA and its eye in the sky is behind the climate façade.

“Various other types of stratospheric aerosol particles have also been suggested (Teller et al. 1997; Blackstock et al. 2009; Keith in press (b); Submission: Katz). Engineered aerosols might enable scattering that did not produce so much diffuse illumination, potentially circumventing a significant side-effect of sulphate aerosols. Alternative materials might also avoid the coagulation and vaporisation problems that will be significant for sulphate aerosols. Finally, it is possible that advanced engineered particles could be designed that had longer lifetimes, or that were lofted out of the lower stratosphere, so reducing the impact of the aerosol on ozone chemistry, or enabling radiative forcing to be concentrated in special locations such as the polar regions.” (pg. 29)

Is this a hint at nanotech or RFID “dust” that might be sprayed for the purpose of creating the “Internet of Things,” a Google-associated project that aims to coat the surface of the globe with a form of nanotech? While there has been much speculation regarding this in alternative media, we do know plans for an Internet of Things are real, even to the extent of your dishwasher spying on you, as former CIA head David Petraeus stated, as well as further designs for nano “dust.” The report states, back in 2009, engineered particles would have a longer lifespan, and presumably this means nanotechnology. The report does cite two papers dealing with nanotechnology and food, so we can assume this notion is not far-fetched. In analyzing these documents, it is important to remember this establishment is operating under a worldview of eugenics and biotech that has long dropped the Hitlerian racial component for the pragmatic Fabian approach where the entire globe is a test lab.

NRL Scientists Produce Densest Artificial Ionospheric Plasma Clouds Using HAARP

Our next piece of evidence concerns the US Naval use of HAARP, the infamous Alaskan facility that pioneered weather modification and weaponization. Some have speculated that HAARP is now outdated and purely a research facility nowadays, yet recent papers such as the Navy’s work with plasma as well as the Stanford documents I will cite below speak otherwise. Newer models of manipulation do appear to be connected with Nexrad and Doppler towers, particularly in regard to harnessing lightning as DARPA’s budget shows (see here, page 55). However, HAARP is still an important part of that research, if we are to believe these reports. It is also important to keep in mind the Navy is a defense and wartime institution, not a humanitarian one. This supports my above thesis that weather and geoengineering strategies are for militaristic purposes, not the “common good.” 21stCenturyWire writer Shawn Helton explains of HAARP:

“Rain producing cloud seeding operations, drought linked chemtrail programs and directed energy technology have been working in tandem, altering the world for sometime under the umbrella of the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program, better known as HAARP, a joint project funded by the U.S. Air Force, Navy and DARPA. At the core of the program’s development is said to be a “unique high frequency ionospheric heating capability.” In addition to that, there is the mention of ELF waves, Geophysical probing and other military applications.”

The Navy report in question states:

“U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) research physicists and engineers from the Plasma Physics Division, working at the High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) transmitter facility, Gakona, Alaska, successfully produced a sustained high density plasma cloud in Earth’s upper atmosphere. “Previous artificial plasma density clouds have lifetimes of only ten minutes or less,” said Paul Bernhardt, Ph.D., NRL Space Use and Plasma Section. “This higher density plasma ‘ball’ was sustained over one hour by the HAARP transmissions and was extinguished only after termination of the HAARP radio beam.

These glow discharges in the upper atmosphere were generated as a part of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) sponsored Basic Research on Ionospheric Characteristics and Effects (BRIOCHE) campaign to explore ionospheric phenomena and its impact on communications and space weather. Using the 3.6-megawatt high-frequency (HF) HAARP transmitter, the plasma clouds, or balls of plasma, are being studied for use as artificial mirrors at altitudes 50 kilometers below the natural ionosphere and are to be used for reflection of HF radar and communications signals.”

DARPA and the Navy working together on plasma manipulation in the atmosphere – it sounds like a nightmare from Nikola Tesla following a bad case of indigestion. DARPA is the establishment’s crypto weaponized tech arm of the military industrial complex, giving us the Internet itself, and here we see they are very much interested in directed energy weapons and weather modification.

Given that the Anglo-American establishment has the same ruling elite, my connection between the Royal Society’s paper on geo-engineering and the US military’s testing of directed plasma energy logically converge. This doesn’t sound like your garden variety, mass consumption physics we are fed in establishment academia, but something akin to the energetic-based hidden metaphysics I have been speaking of, more along the lines of Tesla and Platonic aether. Did you learn about directed energy weapons and plasma balls in your college physics course? On the contrary, the cult of scientism purposefully feeds bunk science to the masses, as I have expounded here.

The Stanford VLF Group

Next in our series of documentation is the Stanford University’s database dedicated to very low and extremely low-frequency programs. The radio waves mentioned above are merely one piece of the massive programs based at universities and government institutions globally focused on environmental dominance. Stanford stands out as a major hub of such programs, and blasting the atmosphere with such frequencies reveals much deeper designs than mere “weather experiments.” HAARP has long utilized VLF/ELF waves to cause different effects in weather patterns, but what we see in the VLF group is the synthesis of all the above. A sampling of hundreds of papers dealing with the following are linked:

From lightning effects to earthquake signatures, we know from the 1997 Department of Defense transcript from William S. Cohen earthquake-inducing weapons, as well as much more, making the very connections I am:

“Alvin Toeffler has written about this in terms of some scientists in their laboratories trying to devise certain types of pathogens that would be ethnic specific so that they could just eliminate certain ethnic groups and races; and others are designing some sort of engineering, some sort of insects that can destroy specific crops. Others are engaging even in an eco- type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves.”

Skeptics and deniers are wont to make the integrated connections I am because they cannot grasp the concept of compartmentalization, wherein various scientific enclaves are working for some very specific ends. These ends, however, are ultimately for the goals of an establishment with a manifesto of global genocide, from the Georgia Guidestones, to Ted Turner to Al Gore to the Royal Society. Globalist technocrats from Brzezinski to Toeffler to Bill Gates have also long been vocal on Geoengineering and ELF/VLF manipulation and their military uses, which brings me to my concluding example.

Col. Michael Aquino, founder of the Temple of Set, and military psy-op commander co-authored a famous 2003 paper on psychological warfare titled: “From PSYOP to MindWar: The Psychology of Victory”, in which the footnotes at the end describe just the nefarious scenario Cohen warned of and are best cited in their entirety. Aquino and Valley write:

“19 Atmospheric electromagnetic (EM) activity: The Human body communicates internally by EM and electrochemical impulses. The EM field displayed in Kirlian photographs, the effectiveness of acupuncture, and the body’s physical responses to various types of EM radiation (X-rays, infrared radiation, visible light spectra, etc.) are all examples of human sensitivity to EM forces and fields. Atmospheric EM activity is regularly altered by such phenomena as sunspot eruptions and gravitational stresses which distort the Earth’s magnetic field. Under varying external EM conditions, humans are more or less disposed to the consideration of new ideas. MindWar should be timed accordingly. Per Dr. LJ. Ravitz:

Electromagnetic field constructs add fuel to the assumption unifying living matter harmoniously with the operations of nature, the expression of an electromagnetic field no less than non-living systems; and that as points on spectrums, these two entities may at last take their positions in the organization of the universe in a way both explicable and rational … A tenable theory has been provided for emergence of the nervous system, developing not from functional demands, but instead deriving as a result of dynamic forces imposed on cell groups by the total field pattern. Living matter on has a definition of state based on relativity field physics, through which it has been possible to detect a measurable property of total state functions. (Ravitz, State- Function, Including Hypnotic States” in Journal of American Society of Psychosomatic Dentistry and Medicine, Vol. 17, No. 4, 1970.)

20 Ionization of the air: An abundance of negative condensation nuclei (“air ions”) in ingested air enhances alertness and exhilaration, while an excess of positive ions enhances drowsiness and depression. Calculation of the ionic balance of a target audience’s atmospheric environment will be correspondingly useful. Again this is a naturally-occurring condition – caused by such varying agents as solar ultraviolet light, lightning, and rapidly-moving water – rather than one which most be artificially created. (Detonation of nuclear weapons, however, will alter atmospheric ionization levels.) Cf. Soyke, Fred and Edmonds, Alan, The Ion Effect. New York: E.P. Dutton, 1977.

21 Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) waves: ELF waves up to 100 Hz are once more naturally occurring, but they can also be produced artificially (such as for the Navy’s Project Sanguine for submarine communication). ELF-waves are not normally noticed by the unaided senses, yet their resonant effect upon the human body has been connected to both physiological disorders and emotional distortion. Infrasoundvibration (up to 20 Hz) can subliminally influence brain activity to align itself to delta, theta, alpha, or beta wave patterns, inclining an audience toward everything from alertness to passivity. Infrasound could be used tactically, as ELF-waves endure for great distances; and it could be used in conjunction with media broadcasts as well. See Playfair, Guy L. and Hill, Scott, The Cycles of Heaven. New York: St. Martin’s Press, 1978, pages 130-140.”

the man with the golden gun 04 300x168 Chemtrails Exposed: Global Geo Engineering Psy Ops DocumentedThe real golden gun, like the control of all life, is the control and direction of energy. Modern fiat economics itself is a directed energy weapon. Image: the007dissier.com

There you go – a master of psychological warfare admits all the connections I made above. Humans are walking, energetic beings that vibrate at a cellular level at various frequencies. Through mass manipulation of ELF waves, the frequencies can be manipulated through the atmosphere (geoengineering), as well as through mediums such as television and media broadcasts. We know the monkey lab in Bastrop, Texas focuses on tuning flicker rates to specific speeds to cause hypnotic effects, so we can deduce similar programs are at work involving frequency manipulation with the entire environment, which is key.

It is not merely an attack on some single aspect of organisms, but a dominance of all aspects of organic life. The technocratic dream of transhumanist transcendence is the reason for all this, the assumption being that to go to the next level, the existing order must be utilized for mass experimentation to determine which genetic strands can best adapt and conversely which means are the best appropriation to attaining singularity in a Skynet-ruled, RFID dust-covered nanotech planet. In the wake of the destruction, the forced Darwinian evolution will cause a “leap” in those able to adapt, pure order out of designed chaos. “Chemtrails” and geoengineering are clearly a part of this mass engineering. When we step outside the compartmentalized framework, we can clearly see the pattern I have elucidated emerge.

Time & Quantum Entanglement

Time Is A Side Effect Of Quantum Entanglement

Time Is A Side Effect Of Quantum Entanglement

by Physics Arxiv

Time is an emergent phenomenon that is a side effect of quantum entanglement, say physicists. And they have the first experimental results to prove it

When the new ideas of quantum mechanics spread through science like wildfire in the first half of the 20th century, one of the first things physicists did was to apply them to gravity and general relativity. The results were not pretty.

It immediately became clear that these two foundations of modern physics were entirely incompatible. When physicists attempted to meld the approaches, the resulting equations were bedeviled with infinities making it impossible to make sense of the results.

Then in the mid-1960s, there was a breakthrough. The physicists John Wheeler and Bryce DeWitt successfully combined the previously incompatible ideas in a key result that has since become known as the Wheeler-DeWitt equation. This is important because it avoids the troublesome infinites—a huge advance.

But it didn’t take physicists long to realise that while the Wheeler-DeWitt equation solved one significant problem, it introduced another. The new problem was that time played no role in this equation. In effect, it says that nothing ever happens in the universe, a prediction that is clearly at odds with the observational evidence.

This conundrum, which physicists call ‘the problem of time’, has proved to be a thorn in flesh of modern physicists, who have tried to ignore it but with little success.

Then in 1983, the theorists Don Page and William Wootters came up with a novel solution based on the quantum phenomenon of entanglement. This is the exotic property in which two quantum particles share the same existence, even though they are physically separated.

Entanglement is a deep and powerful link and Page and Wootters showed how it can be used to measure time. Their idea was that the way a pair of entangled particles evolve is a kind of clock that can be used to measure change.

But the results depend on how the observation is made. One way to do this is to compare the change in the entangled particles with an external clock that is entirely independent of the universe. This is equivalent to god-like observer outside the universe measuring the evolution of the particles using an external clock.

In this case, Page and Wootters showed that the particles would appear entirely unchanging—that time would not exist in this scenario.

But there is another way to do it that gives a different result. This is for an observer inside the universe to compare the evolution of the particles with the rest of the universe. In this case, the internal observer would see a change and this difference in the evolution of entangled particles compared with everything else is an important a measure of time.

This is an elegant and powerful idea. It suggests that time is an emergent phenomenon that comes about because of the nature of entanglement. And it exists only for observers inside the universe. Any god-like observer outside sees a static, unchanging universe, just as the Wheeler-DeWitt equations predict.

Of course, without experimental verification, Page and Wootter’s ideas are little more than a philosophical curiosity. And since it is never possible to have an observer outside the universe, there seemed little chance of ever testing the idea.

Until now. Today, Ekaterina Moreva at the Istituto Nazionale di Ricerca Metrologica (INRIM) in Turin, Italy, and a few pals have performed the first experimental test of Page and Wootters’ ideas. And they confirm that time is indeed an emergent phenomenon for ‘internal’ observers but absent for external ones.

The experiment involves the creation of a toy universe consisting of a pair of entangled photons and an observer that can measure their state in one of two ways. In the first, the observer measures the evolution of the system by becoming entangled with it. In the second, a god-like observer measures the evolution against an external clock which is entirely independent of the toy universe.

The experimental details are straightforward. The entangled photons each have a polarization which can be changed by passing it through a birefringent plate. In the first set up, the observer measures the polarization of one photon, thereby becoming entangled with it. He or she then compares this with the polarization of the second photon. The difference is a measure of time.

In the second set up, the photons again both pass through the birefringent plates which change their polarizations. However, in this case, the observer only measures the global properties of both photons by comparing them against an independent clock.

In this case, the observer cannot detect any difference between the photons without becoming entangled with one or the other. And if there is no difference, the system appears static. In other words, time does not emerge.

“Although extremely simple, our model captures the two, seemingly contradictory, properties of the Page-Wootters mechanism,” say Moreva and co.

That’s an impressive experiment. Emergence is a popular idea in science. In particular, physicists have recently become excited about the idea that gravity is an emergent phenomenon. So it’s a relatively small step to think that time may emerge in a similar way.

What emergent gravity has lacked, of course, is an experimental demonstration that shows how it works in practice. That’s why Moreva and co’s work is significant. It places an abstract and exotic idea on firm experimental footing for the first time.

Perhaps most significant of all is the implication that quantum mechanics and general relativity are not so incompatible after all. When viewed through the lens of entanglement, the famous ‘problem of time’ just melts away.

The next step will be to extend the idea further, particularly to the macroscopic scale. It’s one thing to show how time emerges for photons, it’s quite another to show how it emerges for larger things such as humans and train timetables.

And therein lies another challenge.

CA – Orb Releasing UFO

UFO Crashing Releases Orb Over Southern California, Jan 2014, VIDEO, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: January 5, 2014
Location of sighting: Southern California, USA
Did you notice the white cloud-like appearance of the UFO? Its a special cloak to allow them to appear this way, rather than appear solid. SCW
Eyewitness states:

I was driving home after work when this UFO or whatever you call it caught my eye. I pulled over in front of somebody’s house to film it. I would have got a better shot but I didn’t want to jump these peoples fence. Anyway I don’t know what the hell to make of it. Couldn’t have been a plane cause there was no noise. And I never heard a crash after either. The Orb thing flew straight up into the sky and disappeared. Sorry I didn’t film that. I didn’t know what to focus my attention on.

On Shambhala

Shambhala

Mysteries of the Kingdom of Shambhala

Shambhala, which is a Sanskrit word meaning “place of peace” or “place of silence”, is a mythical paradise spoken of in ancient texts, including the Kalachakra Tantra and the ancient scriptures of the Zhang Zhung culture which predated Tibetan Buddhism in western Tibet. According to legend, it is a land where only the pure of heart can live, a place where love and wisdom reigns and where people are immune to suffering, want or old age.

Shambhala is said to be the land of a thousand names. It has been called the Forbidden Land, the Land of White Waters, Land of Radiant Spirits, Land of Living Fire, Land of the Living Gods and Land of Wonders. The Hindus call it Aryavartha (‘The Land of the Worthy Ones); the Chinese know it as Hsi Tien, the Western Paradise of Hsi Wang Mu; and to the Russian Old Believers, it is known as Belovoyde.  But throughout Asia, it is best known by its Sanskrit name, Shambhala, Shamballa, or Shangri-la.

The legend of Shambhala is said to date back thousands of years, and reference to the mythical land can be found in various ancient texts. The Bön scriptures speak of a closely related land called Olmolungring. Hindu texts such as Vishnu Purana mention Shambhala as the birth place of Kalki, the final incarnation of Vishnu who will usher in a new Golden Age. The Buddhist myth of Shambhala is an adaptation of the earlier Hindu myth. However, the text in which Shambhala is first discussed extensively is the Kalachakra.

The Kalachakra refers to a complex and advanced esoteric teaching and practice in Tibetan Buddhism. Shakyamuni Buddha is said to have taught the Kalachakra on request of King Suchandra of Shambhala.

As with many concepts in the Kalachakra, the idea of Shambhala is said to have outer, inner, and alternative meanings. The outer meaning understands Shambhala to exist as a physical place, although only individuals with the appropriate karma can reach it and experience it as such. The inner and alternative meanings refer to more subtle understandings of what Shambhala represents in terms of one’s own body and mind (inner), and during meditative practice (alternative). These two types of symbolic explanations are generally passed on orally from teacher to student.

As the 14th Dalai Lama noted during the 1985 Kalachakra initiation in Bodhgaya, Shambhala is not an ordinary country:

Although those with special affiliation may actually be able to go there through their karmic connection, nevertheless it is not a physical place that we can actually find. We can only say that it is a pure land, a pure land in the human realm. And unless one has the merit and the actual karmic association, one cannot actually arrive there.

The Prophecy of Shambhala

The concept of Shambhala plays an important role in Tibetan religious teachings, and has particular relevance in Tibetan mythology about the future.  The Kalachakra prophesies the gradual deterioration of mankind as the ideology of materialism spreads over the earth. When the “barbarians” who follow this ideology are united under an evil king and think there is nothing left to conquer, the mists will lift to reveal the snowy mountains of Shambhala. The barbarians will attack Shambhala with a huge army equipped with terrible weapons. Then the king of Shambhala will emerge from Shambhala with a huge army to vanquish “dark forces” and usher in a worldwide Golden Age.

Though the Kālachakra prophesies a future war, this appears in conflict with the vows of Buddhist teachings that prohibit violence. This has led some theologians to interpret the war symbolically – the Kālachakra is not advocating violence against people but rather refers to the inner battle of the religious practitioner against inner demonic tendencies.

Shambhala’s hidden location

Over many centuries, numerous explorers and seekers of spiritual wisdom have embarked on expeditions and quests in search of the mythical paradise of Shambhala, and while many have claimed to have been there, no one has yet provided any evidence of its existence or been able to pinpoint its physical location on a map, however most references place Shambhala in the mountainous regions of Eurasia.

Ancient Zhang Zhung texts identify Shambhala with the Sutlej Valley in Punjab or Himachal Pradesh, India. Mongolians identify Shambhala with certain valleys of southern Siberia. In Altai folklore, Mount Belukha is believed to be the gateway to Shambhala. Modern Buddhist scholars seem to conclude that Shambhala is located in the higher reaches of the Himalayas in what is now called the Dhauladhar Mountains around Mcleodganj.  Some legends say that the entrance to Shambhala is hidden inside a remote, abandoned monastery in Tibet, and guarded by beings known as the Shambhala Guardians.

Himalayan Mountains

According to Buddhist traditions, Shambhala is located in the Himalayan Mountains. Photo source: Wikipedia.

For some, the fact that Shambhala has never been found has a very simple explanation – many believe that Shambhala lies on the very edge of physical reality, as a bridge connecting this world to one beyond it.

While many disregard Shambhala as the fanciful subject of myth and legend, for others, a belief in Shambhala stirs an inner yearning to one day find this utopian kingdom.
